I deleted it and that fixed it… * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Blog Homepage](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blog-homepage-2-2/) * [lostcityorg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lostcityorg/) * (@lostcityorg) * [18 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blog-homepage-2-2/#post-675521) * I just had wordpress installed and asked not to have everything installed to / wordpress but it happened anyway. The last time I tried to fix this I just destroyed the whole site – it still lays in ruins on another domain. I just went through the instructions and everything is already set as shown in the directions referenced above. The only thing I haven’t tried is setting an absolute path. * Can anyone make this easy? I just want to blog. My site is stockxc.com * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Getting the root to work as the main page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-the-root-to-work-as-the-main-page/) * Thread Starter [lostcityorg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lostcityorg/) * (@lostcityorg) * [18 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-the-root-to-work-as-the-main-page/#post-640804) * – I moved the index.php file from the /blog folder and added the code you gave me. * – I changed the blog address at Options-General, by taking away “/blog” * – I updated Permalinks by clicking “Update Permalinks” (I have them “Date and Name based”. * Now when I go to “View Site” it automatically directs to lastcity.org (good!) but there’s still nothing there. * Do I also need a blank index.php file in the /blog folder? Or am I missing something else? * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Getting the root to work as the main page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-the-root-to-work-as-the-main-page/) * Thread Starter [lostcityorg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lostcityorg/) * (@lostcityorg) * [18 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-the-root-to-work-as-the-main-page/#post-640660) * When you say “this index.php file” do you mean create a new one or grab the file from somewhere in /blog? * And if I do create one, from which kind of basic page template (using Dreamweaver). I don’t see a .php template… * Many thanks! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Get rid of “Just another wordpress blog”](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/get-rid-of-just-another-wordpress-blog/) * Thread Starter [lostcityorg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lostcityorg/) * (@lostcityorg) * [18 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/get-rid-of-just-another-wordpress-blog/#post-632560) * i didn’t figure it out but now I don’t need to… Thanks though! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Get rid of “Just another wordpress blog”](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/get-rid-of-just-another-wordpress-blog/) * Thread Starter [lostcityorg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lostcityorg/) * (@lostcityorg) * [18 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/get-rid-of-just-another-wordpress-blog/#post-632559) * Take a look: the tagline and About this site are the same. I’d like About this site to be more descriptive without cluttering the image at the top. * [http://lastcity.org/blog/](http://lastcity.org/blog/) * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Help!

I’ve also re-uploaded the files to the server. Same error.

The difference is, my blog is set up on my own server. * I have since signed up on wordpress’s website for a username and password hoping to bridge the two accounts. * Does that make sense? I know, a little confusing… Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total)
