In reply to: Altering the title, menus and look of individual pagesOK just to finish this off hopefully! I don’t think my control panel has that function, but I am quite familiar with FTP. I use “coffee cup” at the moment but have used other FTP programs in the past. Is there the equivalent of a “setup.exe” that I can run via FTP? I am ok with all the rest if this, i am just not sure how to “start” the install process.

In reply to: Altering the title, menus and look of individual pagesYour english is fine my friend, and you are perfectly clear, thank you! I hope I can implement a second install as it seems the best solution to me! I am not sure exactly how to go about it to be honest. Obviously I need to copy all the wordpress folders and files into the sub-folder on my site, but I am not too sure of how to “install” it. The hosting guys i use had a shortcut to install wordpress via the domain control panel, i didn’t do it from scratch??

In reply to: Altering the title, menus and look of individual pagesAh – the more I think about this the more I think a second site might be the answer. I don’t think having 2 separate log-ins is a problem, so I might try this. Does the fact that jweire03 has been able to see that “access is your menu” (whatever that means??) indicates I have some sort of security problem?? What exactly do you mean by hovering over the “backend”?? You see, i wish folks would just use plain english instead of jargon!!! I’m a beginner, and not likely to know what “backend” means.

In reply to: Altering the title, menus and look of individual pagesOK, just to clarify. My existing site is concerned with telecomms. I want one page (and possibly sub-pages linked to it) that will be concerned with my work as an electrician. So, I want to direct people via http://www.pncomms.com/electrician, so they land on the “electrician” page without being aware of the telecomms content. There will also need to be a link from the telecomms main menu. On my electrician page, i do not want the main title or description, or the menu structure pointing to the other pages. I will also probably want different images, but i think i can do this easily? Would it be easier to have another wordpress installation? I am not sure my hosting company would allow this, or could i just install it in another directory and point “www.pncomms.com/electrician” to it, so i can, in effect, just create another site?

In reply to: Altering the title, menus and look of individual pagesThank you for your very well directed reply. I realise that my situation is not ideal, I am in the middle of studying for non-related exams and am also self employed, so not a lot of time. I have no doubt that if this was all i had to do i could sort it out myself but life aint always that simple, and I don’t think a lot of people who suggest things on here tolerate beginners very easily. I am sure that if you take a look at my site http://www.pncomms.com you will see i am not a complete idiot. While you are there, it might be worth noting that from the “testing” menu i want a page that is nothing to do with my site in general. No main title (preferably an alternative title) and no menu selections as in “the company” and “mitel 5000” etc. The idea being that people going to “www.pncomms.com/testing” will not be aware of the other content. I am using version 3.8 now after an upgrade, and the theme is tywentyeleven version 1.5. I also think the DIY approach is by far the best! Could I ask, if people refer to individual files could they state where in the structure they are? There seems to be a deal of duplication to me? Thank you!
