Have a look in the location mentioned to see if the database is still there. If it is, then check out the MySQL Forum on how to edit the MySQL configuration file on how to make the existing database “visible” and accessible to WP.

In reply to: MAMP – is it only for 1 desktop?@wtyzzzz –
I use MAMP extensively and the easiest way for you to show a client what you are working on is to purchase a remote hosting plan and build their site on that; use MAMP or any other local server just to test things out.
Use a sub domain or just a path off the root of the hosting account (e.g
www.my_staging_account.com/client_1) So much easier to do.And if you are doing this for a client, that means that you should be able to afford to purchase said account to do so 🙂

In reply to: Fatal error – help!Do a search of the this forum on how to disable plugins, specifically the one referenced in the error. Once you do that, see if the error goes away. If it does, contact the plugin developer for further advice.

In reply to: Installation in MAMPWhen you installed WP into MAMP, YOU would have had to provide a User Name and Password during the install process.

In reply to: Multiple Domains – One Host (White Screen)@wyn –
On a GD deluxe plan with cPanel, this is quite simple and easy.
– your main site and domain are in the root of your hosting account
– create a new folder off the root of the hosting account into which you upload the new WP files and folders (or, use the Installatron Applications Installer to install into this folder)
– create a new, empty database for the new WP site (if you didn’t use the Installatron method)
– create a new Addon Domain and point it to this new folder
– wait a bit (this is normal) then run the install
– that’s about it 🙂Sounds as though you installed the second WP site into the root of the hosting account.

In reply to: How do I move a WordPress website ?Error: You have exceeded the maximum allowed databases
So it seems that HG will only allow one database per domain (and not one per folder)
It is one DB per hosting account; you will need to upgrade your hosting account at HG to a plan that allows more than one DB 🙂
Once you do that, then:
– create a new, empty database for each of the sites you want to move
– import into these the exported database from the previous host
– edit thesiteurlandhomefield for each to reflect the new location (see below for the URL)
– create new folders in the root for each site
– copy the respective contents from the previous host into each
– edit the wp-config.php of each to reflect the new DB credentials
– as the URL has changed on the additional sites, login, install and run this plugin to update the URLS:http://wordpress.org/plugins/velvet-blues-update-urls/
— select all options EXCEPT the last one (GUID)
– go to Permalinks and re-save
The URL to each additional site will then be:
http://www.empty_domain.com/folder_1_name
http://www.empty_domain.com/folder_2_name
… etc.Forum: Localhost Installs
In reply to: Plugins don't work properlyDid you try the support pages for the plugins in question?
I have installed many WP sites on numerous MAMP installations on a few Macs using the default settings (ports, etc.) and have never had an issue with the plugins or themes that I have selected. That said, I always make sure that they are compatible with the version of WP that is in use at the time.

In reply to: Can't get WordPress to install (no install page)You will need to obtain the values of the nameservers for your LS hosting account. Once you have them (there will usually be two) then at Hover, change the current values of the nameservers for your domain to the LS values. Then wait, as it can take up to 24 hours for this change to become effective; this is normal.

In reply to: How to access the server/root folder?Unless the people who built it have supplied you with the URL and log in credentials to the hosting account and/or the FTP account, then you do not have access.
You may want to try this plugin to see if it works in your case; note the notes for it’s use:

In reply to: Plugins don't work properlyIt could be a compatibility issue with the version of PHP on your local system.
In situations like this, it is better to post your concerns on the specific plugin and theme support pages.

In reply to: Install errorA few questions:
– you bought your hosting at HG but did you buy your domain name from HG as well? If you bought it somewhere else (GoDaddy, for example) then there are additional steps you need to take
– if you bought your domain from HG at the same time as the hosting, and you did the WP QuickInstall relatively soon thereafter, then it is a matter of waiting until the domain becomes fully available on the web; this can take up to 24 hours and is normal.
– after you did the QuickInstall, did you receive the email with the login info and you clicked on the enclosed link and got the noted error? If so, then it means the install went fine and it is one of the first two items noted here 🙂

In reply to: Can Only Activate and Live Preview One Default ThemeHello World! text on a white background, and a black column on the left with “Recent Posts” etc.
That sounds like the default WP 4.0 Twenty Fourteen theme 🙂
Twenty Thirteen (default settings) has a header with orange/yellow/brown circles with a dark brown footer with orange links
Twenty Twelve is black text on white background and side bar on the right.
Did you try adding a new theme?
Appearance > Themes > Add New (button, upper left) > pick one, click Install then click Activate when presented (Live Preview | Activate | Return to Theme Installer)
I came from Joomla! as well, and it takes a bit of adjusting to get the way WP does things 🙂
