Resolved. Thanks!

P.S.
I sent Colleen an email asking her about the server.

WP has been such a large PITA compared to my usual way of doing things. For my own websites, I simply write the HTML myself and use FilesZilla to upload changed/new files to my server. I’ve been doing this since 1997 when I started my first radio program.

Of course, I do nothing fancy which, although plain to view, is safe for visitors. My code does nothing except display information. I do nothing to collect info or run on the visitor’s machine.

I inherited webmaster duties for a website that already existed. I have no clue where the site is being hosted. I assumed that Word Press is the host. I was never given any files, only a password so I could go in to the site and create a login for myself.

I simply want to upload a file but there is no facility for doing so. Everything is done on-line through the WordPress interface which does not seem to provide the means to simply upload a file. None of the pages on the website exist on my computer. They were all created on-line so there is nothing to upload whenever I make changes to the RTO-PA website. There is no WP software on my computer.

The bottom of my dashboard says:

Version 4.3.1

Hi kjodle,

I cannot access it for editing and do not know it’s URL. When I meddle with the account settings, the offending home page shows at http://rto-pa.com but that does not allow me to edit it and I do not want what it says to show to the publie, especially since I received many kudos at orchestra rehearsal last week on what a fine job I’ve done at sprucing up and updating the website.

Cheers,

Bill

Thank you Venutius! Setting a static page with only the front page set to home worked. I didn’t set the Posts Page to anything. It still says -Select-. The first time I tried to do that, WP asked if I really wanted to do that. It didn’t give me a way to reply but then took me back to the Settings –> Reading tab where I did the same thing again, despite knowing that a definition of insanity is taking the same action and expecting a different result. Well, I got a differnet result and it’s the one I wanted! Thanks again.

Typo Corrections:

In the last paragraph, I wrote:

After much reading, I went to Settings –> Reading and selected static page with Home selected for both From Page and Posts Page. Clicked on Sace Changes.

What I meant to write was:

After much reading, I went to Settings –> Reading and selected static page with Home selected for both Front Page and Posts Page. Clicked on Save Changes.

I highlighted the fixes.
