Thanks, I got it working Now all I need to do is work on my PHP skills

Thanks, that is what I was hoping for I installed my first wordpress that I use for my primary site through fantastico, yes, however my login info is not the same, so I can't access it. PS, the domain I am trying to access it through is: http://toptenlisted.com/test/wp-login.php

I still feel a little puzzled. I created a new subdomain, and it already had wordpress installed on it (although I have no idea what my login info, affect on current site, etc. would be for this new copy). Will I get an entirely new wordpress dashboard to work with? Also, I don't think I quite understand databases very well. Are they where all the "public site information, webpages, etc." are stored? And do I create a new user for each database (because I don't want it to affect my SERP, links, etc.) Thanks

I was just wondering if there was a way I could test various themes I downloaded? I wanted to try different things, editing the PHP script, widgets, etc. with all my site info and before the new theme would "go public". I already have some traffic coming in and don't want to be messing with my site's settings before I'm sure the new theme is 100% ready. Plus I may not even like the new style. I was thinking about creating a "dummy site" within my account, then again I want to see all the info I have on my website currently in the new format. Should I just create a new folder, but wouldn't changing the theme have to affect my entire site, even the "viewable to the public" pages? Would anything like this also affect my SE rankings, links, etc.? Thanks

Just wondering where you could go to access this feature? (Don't mean to hijack thread or anything, but one of my email accounts is getting lots of Spam {just one})

Its working now, Thanks I didn't even realize it had stored my username on file, as I don't even remember setting that preference. Also: The webmail link straight through cpanel didn't even offer that logout option, I had to go straight to http://toptenlisted.com/webmail

This is what I am trying to do, but when I follow that link, and go into horde, it never asks me for my email account, it doesn't "ask" for anything, it automatically takes me to the interface with my cpanel login name.

I'll be honest, I'm not exactly sure, I've never really messed around with email configurations much after launching them. But I do think that is not even set, I went to cpanel > Mail > Default address / and inside the boxes it says "No such User Here". Even when I click on > Add/Remove/Manage Accounts / and it lists my email accounts, all the ones I created have the @site.com after them, except the primary account, this one is just my cpanel username. EDIT: I suppose I don't even really know what I'm doing here, maybe I'd be better off opening a ticket.

This takes me straight to my regular horde account, the one I used before the server update (with just the username). All I get from this link is a bunch of warning signs in an XML format (I never really used squirrelmail, just horde). This one just takes me to my regular webmail login screen inside cpanel (It says you need the full email address, but when I click on those links, it acts as if I just logged in as I usually do, with my cpanel username). So, none of those links ask for any of my email addresses, (except the last one, but it just mentions I need my full email) my regular one, or the folder-subscribed addresses I use.

Where do you go to log in using your actual Email Address? I always just use to login straight from cpanel, I tried doing a google search using Horde, but all those links ask me for my username, not my email address.

Something else I just noticed is that, while I am on the cpanel redirect page, when I click on the link: http://www.toptenlisted.com/About%20Site.html listed under current redirects, it takes me to an entirely new page that doesn't exist, not even contained in my site, which in the browser says: http://toptenlisted.comhttp//www.toptenlis...out%20Site.html So it seems that what I typed in the first box under "add redirects" isn't even what I really typed for some reason.

Still get the 404 Error page

Nope, still nothing, just to make sure I removed the right ones, I changed this: RedirectMatch permanent ^/About%20Site.html$ http://www.toptenlisted.com/ten-things-about-toptenlisted to this: RedirectMatch permanent /About%20Site.html http://www.toptenlisted.com/ten-things-about-toptenlisted Also, I didn't type the code myself (except the two character deletions), this redirect was created through the cpanel redirects page.

Sure, First here is the process I used to try to redirect: 1. Opened up cpanel and went to the redirect page 2. Typed in my old URL (About%20Site.html ) into the box labeled “http://toptenlisted.com” 3. Typed the current URL (www.toptenlisted.com/ten-things-about-toptenlisted/) into the box labeled “http://” 4. Chose “Permanent” from the drop down box and clicked “Add” Then it says it added it, so I went to test out the redirect by typing “http://www.toptenlisted.com/About%20Site.html” and I get the 404 error page, as if I never came up with a redirect. Here are the current contents of my htaccess file: > Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^toptenlisted\.com RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.toptenlisted.com/$1 [R=permanent,L] # index.php to / RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*index\.php\ HTTP/ RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.php$ /$1 [R=301,L] # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress RedirectMatch permanent ^/About%20Site.html$ http://www.toptenlisted.com/ten-things-about-toptenlisted

Yeah, this produces the exact same result as if I were to enter them on cpanel's *add redirect* page (it entered that information onto my htaccess file), which as I tried earlier, doesn't seem to redirect the old URL to the current one (which is why I thought the problem might be something with the www or non-www.)

Well, I went ahead and tried that code anyway, but the redirect problem is still the same, as I retried the process as I described earlier. Am I missing a step somewhere when attempting to redirect pages? Because all the result (which is still www.toptenlisted.com/About%20Site.html) gives me is an Error 404 - Not Found page, which still has the same wordpress theme on it, so might there be a problem with the theme's code? Or maybe with its permissions? I'm unsure.

Would this remove it from everything? (Cpanel redirect page, Google Index, Internal Links, Wordpress, etc.) Also, actually I wanted to *add* it to my URL's

Maybe I'm being unclear, I'm trying to set up redirects "Using" cpanel. On the Add Redirect Page in cpanel it says "http://toptenlisted.com/" I wanted it to say "http://www.toptenlisted.com/" I want to redirect the URL's that Google currently has indexed, For example, I am trying to change my *about page*. Google says my *about page*" URL is: "www.toptenlisted.com/About%20Site.html" So I figured I would go to my redirect page in cpanel and redirect that URL to what my *about page* is currently: "www.toptenlisted.com/ten-things-about-toptenlisted" But this doesn't seem to affect the old URL (it still goes to "www.toptenlisted.com/About%20Site.html" when I enter the link), so I thoought the problem was because the URL did not have the www in front of it, which is what I have read from other various help pages, forums, etc. Hope this clarifies it

I installed the plugin, but it didn't seem to affect cpanel, where I am still having redirect problems.

Right now my htaccess file contains: ># BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress along with a few already attempted redirects, so what would I change it to?

I was just wondering where in cPanel you can set a preference? I want to use the www all across my site, links, etc. Right now my specific reason for this is to add redirects (and remain consistent throughout my site), and I have been told that it makes a difference, because they seem to be faulty without it. Thanks

Ever since I renamed my folder, I haven't seemed to get any more problems with it switching, just hope it stays this way, and that it doesn't have any unforseen consequences. Thanks again for all the help everyone

Say, do you know wher I would put that code? Would it go in the style.css? This wouldn't cause anything serious like bugs or system crashes, would it?

Do you guys want me to leave my theme, dashboard, etc. alone so you can find the problem? (because it went back to default again) Or will it make a difference if I try to change settings in there etc. by keep switching it back?

If by what it is currently, right when I logged on today, then yes it is the default theme. I also ran a repair (It only took like 2 seconds), and reapplied my new theme. I have brought this up in the forums, and a couple other people have been having this problem too but they can’t seem to find the solution either.
