In reply to: Cannot gain access!!!Just another thought here maybe you can help again,
Im ready now to migrate from the .net to the .com. I went onto my IXWebhosting account and have created a new database using MySQL server for the ‘.com’ site and have installed a fresh wordpress installation there too. So thats all running, i just need to transfer over the site from the ‘.net’ domain. I have backed up using the Total Backup Plugin and now have a downloaded zip file just in case it all goes ti…..belly-up. 🙂
I was reading through the codex regarding moving (http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress), and i was wondering, can you tell me which one of these I should follow? I think its option 2, (Domain name is still to be http://www.saikoproductions but it will now be .com instead of .net.)
1 When Your Domain Name and URLs Do Not Change
2 When Your Domain Name or URLs Change
2.1 On Your Existing Server

2.1.2 If you have accidentally changed your WordPress site URL
2.2 Moving to a New Server
2.3 If You Don’t Care If Your Old Blog Works
2.4 If You Want Your Old Blog To Still WorkWhen it says on your existing server in 2.1 what is meant by server? Am i moving to a new server or staying with the existing one? i host both domains on my IX account, so does this mean it will be staying on the existing server?
Sorry, im sure this is all basic stuff to you lot!

In reply to: Cannot gain access!!!Hi IshaanRawat,
Thanks for replying, yes it’s saikoproductions.net and the settings were the two address settings at the top of the general section in the control panel. WordPress address and site address.
I accidentally put .com instead of .net for both of these.

Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Duplicating WP Site, Importing iWeb site, saving time.Hey tillieb20,
lol thanks for attempting to understand my mental wanderings, lol, much appreciated.
Yes i’ve come to a similar conclusion that I’m just going to have to start again. I’ve just installed VideoPlus theme to give it a whirl. It wasn’t the easiest! Why do they make it so complicated?! It doesn’t come up in a WordPress search so you download it from the VideoPlus website and then upload the zip on your WP page to be installed. Then it fails to install due to a missing css file, which is present in the folder. You search forums for the issue and find that the problem might be an issue with subfolders so you use CyberDuck to upload just the videoplus folder into your /wp-content/themes folder and its finally recognised in your available themes section. <phew> like i said, they don’t make it for non-webdesigner-types do they!
So thanks for your suggestion, i am not familiar with css but if this current theme doesn’t work for me, then i shall get to know it! i do love light box galleries!
