In reply to: Tried changing URL/making WP main page, now can't access anything.Sorry to read what happened, I’ve had the same problem myself.
I think maybe the reference provided by @barnez is what you were trying to do in the first place.
This article explains what’s happening and how to recover: https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

In reply to: Adding Numbers from Custom Fields from Multiple Post TypesHow do I grab these custom fields
Great question
In general, you have to write a query which gets all the posts. reference
Then from those posts, you extract the
custom fieldsIn other words, to make it happen dynamically as things are always changing, you have to be able to write a “mathematical” formula to specify which posts and which custom fields are to be added.
Can you tell me in words which posts? All of them? Maybe just the ones with a certain category or tag? Maybe there’s a list somewhere with checkboxes and the user checks them off?

In reply to: 301 redirection with URL hide for WP MenuPerhaps it goes without saying, the easiest way to make that happen is to create the WordPress on the domain myhouse.com …
I think maybe there’s a bit of confusion here with regard to terminology, I’ll try to sort it out and answer your question more directly.
Websites really are not created on domains, they are created on hosts. And then one (or more) domain is assigned or directed to that host.
So in your case, you can direct domain myhouse.com to your host where you already created the site. Most likely this is accomplished via a DNS “A” record which points to the IP address of the host. And you probably should remove the 301/hideurl before you attempt create the “A” record. You will know this step is done correctly when you can navigate to myhouse.com and the site appears and shows address example.com/example1.
Now all you have to do is change the site_url to myhouse.com …

In reply to: [Menu] The elements of the menu disappearDid you notice the warning at the top of the plugin page>
!This plugin hasn’t been updated in over 2 years. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.
I would suggest deactivate the plugin and see under dashboard > appearance > menus … The native menus there do everything the plugin does, and they will be as up-to-date as whatever your WordPress version.

In reply to: Spacing & Font Issues on Blog Articles with Numbered ListsI think nothing is broken. The numbered lists are html
<ol>elements. Inside them there will be<li>elements The display of these elements usually is controlled by CSS.Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Menu IssuesCheck for CSS modifying the links already visited, although it would be unusual for it to be limited to the home page. ie something like this:
.home a:visited{color:A link to your site would allow us to be more specific.

In reply to: Remove Footer widgets except front pageI would try removing the entire widget areas, possibly via conditionally de-register the footer-sidebars.
Might be easier to use CSS, maybe something like:
footer .widget-area {display:none;} .home footer .widget-area {display:block;}Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WordPress blogsGood Question,
One possible strategy would be to export the content from the domains you get rid of. And import to domain you keep.
Another: Have multiple single-site installs within sub-folders of one domain webspace.
Still another: utilize WordPress Multisite
