In reply to: WP-Content Download for site migrationOk… got that figured out… now How do I copy the files and folders onto my C-Drive so I can upload them once I get the new hosting set up?

In reply to: .htaccess file?I do change my permalinks here and there. Sometimes, I just take the default (which I set to just the name of the post/page). To my embarrassment, I got mad and just deleted the .htaccess file. I honestly don’t even know what it’s for. I was hoping to find a standard issue file and upload it to see if it helps.
My site: brettcohrs.com. Homepage works, but click on a post and it gives an ‘oops’ message.

In reply to: .htaccess file?The problem there is that I can’t access my admin area. When I go to login, I get this error:

In reply to: moving my domain and WP blog to new hostThank you guys. I’ll check that codex link and follow directions. If I have a clear checklist, I’m good I think.

In reply to: moving my domain and WP blog to new hostI think I get stumped on how to change them in the wp-config.php. I tried to open the file in my ftp client to see where I could edit that file. If I find it, there will be a place where I can change the username and password to my new host information?

In reply to: Importing blogger blog w/ same domain name…I think I see. I’ll give it a shot and post if sirens go off.
yes: set up hosting at Bluehost for aaronandandrew.org.
Since it’s unlimited domains, I was going to move an old semi-dead blogger blog over: salesexperiment.com. (I also have two other WP blogs to move over from other hosting to save a few dollars a month).Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Host's WordPress Installation or FTP?Do these instructions apply to both a WP migration and a Blogger migration?

In reply to: Importing blogger blog w/ same domain name…It seems like I can just log into my cpanel w/ my bluehost username/pw. I set up the account for one url–I’ve set up wordpress on it. Now I have the second–the blogger account–that I’m wanting to pull in.
I think I got lost in the ‘work on your host with IP address’. I was thinking you meant that I could just set up a database without a url and make sure the old content was copied on there and then after I know all is well, pull over the domain name.
I’ll figure it out! Luckily the old content kind of sucks anyway. 🙂

In reply to: Importing blogger blog w/ same domain name…So i can set up the new database on my new host, then associate the new DNS with that database after I got everything up and running? I can even upload WP to that new database prior to the domain name add? I can do this with the WP blogs I have to migrate also?

In reply to: Host's WordPress Installation or FTP?After my post, I did the standard FTP thing w/ Cyberduck and all of that.
What I’m excited about is that I think I followed what you are saying above–or at least enough to know where to go and look and follow step by step.
I do have 2 or 3 other blogs that I’m moving over to Bluehost. I’ll try following your instructions above on one of my other ones (of course they have their own problems: one is a blogger migration, one is currently hosted at Hostgator and one is at Godaddy. I hear moving WordPress from one hosting to another is more complicated than the blogger migration.

In reply to: Importing blogger blog w/ same domain name…Thanks GP!
So if I’m reading right, export blog in blogger (this will download a copy to my computer). Then transfer the domain to my new hosting, set up WP, then upload the exported blogger info. Does that sum it up?

In reply to: Host's WordPress Installation or FTP?Oh yeah–please just send me to an article if one is out there… Im always nervous about asking dumb questions in these forums!
