Okay, I found a host with LAMP servers. I’m transferring my hosting over to them via ftp; but, I’m curious if this will wipe out all my WP data. Any suggestions regarding maintaining the content/settings from one install to another?
Thanks! I got a reply for my support ticket inquiry and you’re very correct, I’m on Zeus servers. If I switch, how complicated is it to change hosting when my information is already on their servers? Do you suggest any particular hosting company?
Thanks… I’m looking into what type of server the site is hosted on. I’m relatively new to all this, so I haven’t been able to locate the information on my hosting site’s control panel. Is there a more in-depth, step-by-step guide to installing buddy press out there? It seems like the install through the wordpress dashboard is only part of a larger process that I didn’t quite realize I was getting myself into.
Ultimately, my goal is to create a portion of my site for musicians, bands, and fans to connect to each other plan shows, explore lesser-known venues, and plan tours. It’s a lofty goal, I know; but, I think Buddy Press will help me a great deal on my way there.
Thanks again for all the help; you’re all very knowledgable and it’s much appreciated.
@hnla I guess I’m not sure what you mean? I have an ftp server that serves http://network.theunsignedsounds.com and I’ve installed wordpress under that domain. I wondered if I added you to the site, would you be able to pinpoint what the problem is? I’m at a complete loss here and have tried uninstalling/reinstalling a few times to no avail.
Thanks, I haven’t experimented much since I was hoping to see if there was any comprehensive info out there; but, I’ll work on it soon. I thought you implied that the index.php was a bad thing to have in the permalink?
hnla, that really helps me pinpoint the problem. My permalink structure (/%day%/%monthnum%/%year%/%postname%/) is not working correctly, which I can see now that I disabled BP. Unfortunately, I’m completely lost with the mod_rewrite part. I read that page, but am unsure what I have to do to get the permalinks working properly. I created the .htaccess file, which didn’t change anything and now I’m kind of just flying blind…
Thanks for the help. Enabling user registration did the trick, but I’m still getting Page not found errors whenever I click on anything beyond the first page. I’ve set up custom permalinks, but it didn’t change anything. Any suggestions?
