I am trying to set up a new wordpress site. no upgrades. i have set up the wordpress locally on my computer using MAMP and the 3.1 download worked fine. Now I have installed wordpress on the hosting server I use. This is the schpeel they give about the platform that I chose * “The Linux Web hosting packages offer a feature full development platform based on CentOS Enterprise Linux, Apache Web server and supporting PHP and Perl. * The Linux Hosting plans are served from fully clustered and load balanced state- of-the-art HP DL 380 Dual Xeon servers. Running CentOS Enterprise Linux, the platform offers stability, performance and reliability” * I don’t really know what this all means but after I installed wordpress, then logged in I get redirected to the front end home page. I cannot navigate from this page so cannot install any plugins / fixs. I tried the code hint from [@rvirtue](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rvirtue/): to edit the canonical.php file and that has not done anything. I don’t know what else to do? * Should I just install a previous release of wordpress and if so which version. I want to use the menu feature in the admin and the fullscreen theme by graphpaperpres and the simpleviewer plugin. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total)
