Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: URL not resolving to subdirectoryI didn’t do anything. The Bluehost guy changed stuff and I’m trying to work out what he did. I’m going to copy it back to another directory and play around with. Don’t want to mess with a live site.

In reply to: URL not resolving to subdirectoryBefore I start changing anything I need to know why so many links containing /wordpress/ are being resolved to root on the fly and not causing issue. What change was implemented to do this? Where do I look? Some resolve correctly and some don’t. I don’t want to do a global replace and find I’ve broken everything.

In reply to: Broken links to PDFsThanks @ashfame – I thought that might be the case. No idea what plug-in they are using but it might be mailchimp. I’ll ask the content person.

In reply to: URL not resolving to subdirectoryI couldn’t get it to work as the inlcudes worked but the page bodies were missing with errors. The original support pages I was trying to follow were a mess – poorly written and it was difficult to know which option to follow. But when I did work it out there was still errors. But I’m not using /wordpress/ any more, but it shouldn’t be this difficult.
Bluehost really don’t know the way to do it properly so one support person broke the site and the other just copied it to root. There are still a lot of mysite/wordpress/ links on the site but somehow they are not breaking anything. No idea why as /wordpress/ is now empty and the URL in the general panel are both just mysite.

In reply to: Broken links to PDFsI’d add that I didn’t put the content in the website, so I don’t know where the files are uploaded from.

In reply to: Overview documentThanks, the earlier versions of Concrete5 that I still use are very easy to navigate, the later version are non-intuitive.
What I’m looking for is illustrated cheat sheets. Standard documentation is not what I need to jump in as you can be scrolling endlessly through pages of text.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Installing a parallel WordPress site on BluehostThanks @gappiah – I couldn’t recall the terminology and its coming back to me now. A quick search and I see that all separate domains related to a single Bluehost account are housed in separate directories on the document root. (I don’t know why I didn’t install CC5 in its own directory so it was a bit cleaner, as I did with another account). I can only use the sub-domain option as I don’t have or need a separate domain for this task.
The WordPress manual install should be straight forward and thanks for the summary. I should be good to go now.
For anyone else interested in the multiple domain hosting:
Multiple domains in Bluehost are called Addon Domains and they are actually sub-domains housed in separate directories that are managed by URL pointers by the server. So if the base account is abc.com and you have the 123.com domain, any or all of the following can be used, or the first two masked so that only 123.com is accessible by a site visitor.• abc.com/123
• 123.abc.com
• 123.comForum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: How to take down old siteThanks Rob but how do I contact them? There seems to be no method as I don’t have a paid account.

In reply to: Adding custom google pagesOk – that plug-in looks good as I need to set a custom map centre.
I’d still like to know if there’s a way to put JavaScript into the head are of a page, for other stuff I may do,

In reply to: 5 Minute install – not if you don't help usersIn my book ‘manually’ is via the config file. If you advertise a ‘Famous 5 Minute Install’ that doesn’t include the 15 mins to read the instructions! I’m making a serious suggestion as first time users get stuck at this point with the generated error page. I write technical instructions for a job and upon trying an initial install I found this a major omission in the installation interface. I hope you send this suggestion to the group that reviews how WP is packaged.

In reply to: 5 Minute install – not if you don't help usersI’m referring to the installation web interface – with the form fields on it. This is where it should say “create a database first” with a link to those instructions. Its such an important step it needs to be spelt out there.
