    A word press issue.

    I have created my wordpress blog in accorance with the tutorial video.

    However, these do not say how one gets to the blog to work in it.
    I asked this same question, some weeks back, ie how do I get to my blog and to date have a received a one syllabel answer, which presupposes my prowess as a computer whizz, I am all but not that!

    This was the reply viz:-

    yoursite.com/wordpressinstallation/wp-admin

    I'm afraid I do not have the foggiest idea what this is telling me to do!

    Could someone please help and answer more fully?

    The video takes one from creating the blogg to working in it but does not say where to find it or how to open it sothat I can work in it.
    Thank you
    Hans

    Type that in your browser.. it takes you to the login page so you can type in your user and password and work on the blog...

    Come on Hans.. you KNOW this...
    just like logging in to a forum

      Re: A word press issue.

      hi Karen,
      I can assure you that it is embarraing enough to have to ask all the time, there is no way I would have asked if i knew. I still have not gotten there...
      yoursite.com/wordpressinstallation/wp-admin

      So let me check please... here is what i typed in
      http://www.forextraderspa.com/wordpr...ation/wp-admin... nothing!
      Now does the wordpress/installation/wp-admin have to be replaced with something? Like.html or something?
      Karen I have never worked with wordpress or any other blog.
      Is it like another domain name? when I work in it do I have to upload it every time I write something?.. just like altering a page of a site which than gets published again?

        Well... wordpressinstallation needs to be changed to whatever folder you installed it to. That was just an example..

        www.forextraderspa.com/"nameoffolder"/wp-admin

        In wordpress you will be ONLINE .. soon as you hit the publish or make live it will be onsite.. no uploading.

          Re: A word press issue.

          Karen, is the password it requires something I created at the time of doing this in fantastico? I do not remember!. When it asks me if I have forgotten my password it calls for my email... itried the only 3 I have and it recognises none.
          Which password do they want and how do i reset if they do not know my password? Is there any way I can look this up inside the control panel or somewhere?

          thank you

            Well Hans

            Uninstall it via fantastico.. and then REINSTALL it and write down the directory, the user name and the password you create to use it...

            Thats the easiest

              Karen, Thank you again - If I had to pay you as a tutor for all the tuition I would not have food on my table... you're great and my appreciation is without end.
              If I look back over the 24 or so month ago when I started BV and where I am today, even I think I have learned, much as a result of your and other BV forum peoples selfless advice.
              Grateful thanx again
              Hans

                  put in a support ticket Hans..

                  I cant do much on this end without logging into your account.

                  Best for you to do the support ticket.. but youre getting close.

                    Re: A word press issue.

                    I have uploaded a theme which I got off the net via BV ftp, I can see the folder in my ftp tfr menu on the right. Its there.
                    I followed the video on the BV tutorials, but my Word press looks very different and does not have the buttons the tutorial refers to. Mine is version 2.8.2.
                    How do I see my current blog appearance and how do I get the new theme into my word press? The videos are not helpful and very different from my wordpress appearance when I put in my URL http://forextraderspa.com/tradingprofits/wp-admin/ This looks nothing like the video tutorials.

                    Please someone?
                    Thank you

                      Well thats where you login.. its a start.

                      Yes.. its a tad different than tht tutorials but you should be able to figure it out with a little persistence

                      Also.. be careful with themes that they are for the VERSION you are using.. else they will need some tayloring to make work.

                          Thank you Karen, for the first time, when I dropped the /wp-admin bit I saw what my blog would look like... pretty boring! Please tell me, when I try to upload a theme it asks for the hostname, is that not Vodahost? Than it also wants a username and pass word, I filled in the cpanel password, but it does not like these... what do I put into those two fields please?
                          Thank you,
                          Hans

                            Hostname = localhost
                            Username = (the username you use for your Cpanel or Blue FTP)
                            Password = (the password you use for your Cpanel Login or Blue FTP)

                            Hope it helps,

                            Herman

                              Hi Herman,
                              Thanx for the Help.
                              Understand the Cpanel PW and PW, however, what is "localhost"?
                              Vodahost are the blog hosts. I have no other. If in fact that is the name I must fill into that field, that is what I did but it does not let me through.
                              Is it perhaps BlueVodahost or something of that nature?
                              Thank you Hans
