I went through the tutorials. It looks like I have done everything I am supposed to but, I am still stuck. When I try to install WordPress by going to this address localhost/wordpress/wp-admin Internet Explorer tell me the page cannot be displayed. * I’m sure it is a small mistake that is causing my problem. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [A program with a visual interface to create or edit themes?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-program-with-a-visual-interface-to-create-or-edit-themes/) * Thread Starter [wheelstb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wheelstb/) * (@wheelstb) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-program-with-a-visual-interface-to-create-or-edit-themes/#post-3080999) * Thanks again for your help. * Now I have two more questions for you. * 1. I’ve actually fairly computer savvy so learning a program and dealing with tricky situations would not bother me a whole lot as long as I am able to avoid hand coding. Even if it would be tricky would it be possible to use WordPress along with the visual aspect of Dreamweaver? * The reason I am so insisted on trying to get something done with a visual editor is because it is very difficult for me to type. In fact, I use speech recognition to do 99.9% of my typing. So as long as it’s tricky and not impossible I would definitely be game for giving it a try. * 2. Have you heard about this? * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/plugnedit/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/plugnedit/) It seems to be a visual editor for WordPress. It may not be the greatest thing but it might be worth a try. Thank you again for all of your help I really appreciate it * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [A program with a visual interface to create or edit themes?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-program-with-a-visual-interface-to-create-or-edit-themes/) * Thread Starter [wheelstb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wheelstb/) * (@wheelstb) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-program-with-a-visual-interface-to-create-or-edit-themes/#post-3080987) * I would like to do as much of it myself as I possibly could but I might have to take a look at that having someone help me with it. * When I asked earlier about creating a theme in Dreamweaver with what you see is what you get. I don’t think I was extremely clear. I understand the software cannot create the theme for you. When I was really trying to get at was. Is it possible to create a WordPress theme using entirely wysiwyg. * I definitely did not phrase that correctly. Obviously I know software cannot create something without being manipulated. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [A program with a visual interface to create or edit themes?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-program-with-a-visual-interface-to-create-or-edit-themes/) * Thread Starter [wheelstb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wheelstb/) * (@wheelstb) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-program-with-a-visual-interface-to-create-or-edit-themes/#post-3080981) * Thank you for the reply. * Most of what you said in your reply was what I was afraid of. Thank you for the information about WordPress.com. I will definitely have to take a look at that. * Thanks again. * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [Having difficulty setting up WordPress on a local server.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/having-difficulty-setting-up-wordpress-on-a-local-server/) * Thread Starter [wheelstb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wheelstb/) * (@wheelstb) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/having-difficulty-setting-up-wordpress-on-a-local-server/#post-3035187) * I figured out my problem. As I suspected it was an idiot mistake. When I copied the files to the www directory I did not copy the files inside the WordPress directory, I copied the entire WordPress directory. The folder as well as the files inside, instead of just the inside files * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [Having difficulty setting up WordPress on a local server.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/having-difficulty-setting-up-wordpress-on-a-local-server/) * Thread Starter [wheelstb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wheelstb/) * (@wheelstb) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/having-difficulty-setting-up-wordpress-on-a-local-server/#post-3035186) * Yes, the WordPress directory is in the www directory. Just out of curiosity I clicked on the WordPress directory to make sure it was populated internally and it is. * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [Having difficulty setting up WordPress on a local server.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/having-difficulty-setting-up-wordpress-on-a-local-server/) * Thread Starter [wheelstb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wheelstb/) * (@wheelstb) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/having-difficulty-setting-up-wordpress-on-a-local-server/#post-3035184) * I’m sorry I don’t understand what you are talking about.
