In reply to: can't run "wp-admin/install.php" after all setting upHi,
Is this a new domain or an existing domain that was just transferred to GoDaddy? If so, there is a chance that the website DNS has not yet propagated.
This might be an issue similar to DNS not yet propagated, can I still use WordPress?.

In reply to: Directing to 404 pageHi Bee,
Please have a look at the article about permalinks. It is highly likely that your issue might have something to do with permalinks. That article can be found here: Using Permalinks.

Try adding a CSS style for div id=”content” setting the background color to white.

In reply to: Blog is gone. Is this a WordPress, Bluehost, or 8Bit problem?Hi Noah,
I finally saw the error that you initially referred to in your first post. It was when I used https, although I really do not think it is necessary to use a secure connection just to view the non-admin parts of the site.
Do you know whether or not SSL is already configured on your hosting account? And, are you trying to set it up so that when you login to your administrative panel, the connection is secure?
See if this guide helps you at all: Administration Over SSL.

In reply to: Blog is gone. Is this a WordPress, Bluehost, or 8Bit problem?Hi Noah, when I click on the link that you provided, I am taken directly to the blog’s home; although there isn’t any content and all that I am seeing is Home with a date of November 30, -0001. If you can get into your admin panel, maybe you can try disabling some of the widgets that you added first. Perhaps that could get you back to the last working state.

In reply to: error downloading latest version of WordPressWhile it isn’t a requirement, some plugins may not have been updated to work with the latest version of WordPress, so it probably helps to. This is a link to the section of the article that I sent you in my earlier post that talks about the topic: Updating_WordPress#Disable_Plugins.

In reply to: error downloading latest version of WordPressHi,
By any chance did you first disable any plugins before the upgrade? This article will really be helpful: Updating WordPress.

In reply to: Lost My WP Admin PasswordHi,
There are many ways to reset the admin password. Please try some of the methods recommended in the codex article: Resetting Your Password.
Given that the Automatic Emailer method didn’t work, understandably, your best bet would be using any of the methods involving the database; and doing it through phpMyAdmin is probably most convenient. The codex link above has instructions on exactly how to do it, but to go directly to the instructions, click this link.

In reply to: Can't set blank background on my page white line above footerHi Bene,
In your page HTML code, I see
<style type="text/css" id="custom-background-css"> body.custom-background { background-color: #a89999; background-image: url('http://welchfishmongers.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/WhiteLobster3.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: top center; background-attachment: scroll; } </style>The background-color you have is not white. If you change #a89999 to #FFFFFF and remove the background image, that should take care of it.
Does that help?

In reply to: Is a 2.0 to present upgrade feasible ..Haven’t tried going that far back in versions and am also curious as to whether or not that works. From the codex, it appears that it can be done.

In reply to: cant access wp-admin or wp-includesHi Patrik! Have you had issues with permissions on the account at all in the past? It almost appears to be related to file permissions.
Incredible photos by the way!

In reply to: Remove recent posts from websiteDeactivating the “Recent Posts” widget by removing it from the sidebar would not show it on the pages so you wouldn’t even have to set the number of posts to show to 0.
If you want your blog to look like a webpage, you can follow these instructions to first make the home page a static page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page. Afterwards, you can make other pages Child pages of the home page. To do that, from the Dashboard, edit each pages’ Page Attributes to set the Parent to be the Home page that you made static.
Sorry my first response wasn’t clear, but I hope this helps.

In reply to: Remove recent posts from websiteHi! Do you want to remove the text “SENASTE INLÄGG” because you’d like your pages to look more like webpages rather than a blog?
To remove the text, you need to deactivate the widget. To do that, you can go to Appearance -> Widgets, and then on the right side where it says Main Sidebar, drag the Recent Posts widget to the available widgets area.
