* anyone have a clue why the homepage won’t load? * anyway around it? * thanks. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Website Wont Display](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-wont-display/) * [outhere](https://wordpress.org/support/users/outhere/) * (@outhere) * [18 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/website-wont-display/#post-663844) * i can’t help you out but thought your url was cool. . . * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [wrong author error please help](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-author-error-please-help/) * [outhere](https://wordpress.org/support/users/outhere/) * (@outhere) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-author-error-please-help/#post-523487) * Update: the Post Author box in the Create New Post option of the admin panel was selecting a user other than me when i posted. * the problem seems to have happened when i typed in a nickname for myself in my profile (instead of “admin” showing when i post). for some reason the Post Author box didn’t register my nickname. * When i erased my nickname so that I am only known as admin, the Post Author box had “admin” as a possible selection. * so the original problem is fixed. * now the question is what is the nickname snafu?
