In reply to: wp-login.php does not recognize my usernameHi RoseCitySister: Thanks again for all your help. I tried everything, then took your final piece of advice. I got rid of everything and then reinstalled it. As you pointed out, I didn’t have any entries, so it wasn’t a big deal. Now I am overwhelmed with starting my blog, but that’s another story!
Thanks again.

In reply to: wp-login.php does not recognize my usernameIt makes absolutely no sense that WordPress would not recognize the user name and there is no way to solve it other than starting all over.

In reply to: wp-login.php does not recognize my usernameThe PHPMyAdmin is not for someone on my level. I have no clue.

In reply to: wp-login.php does not recognize my usernameThanks so much for your help.
I did already try the lost password link, but it says it does not have a record of the user, not the password. Any email I type in does not work.
So if Fog has not been updated, does that mean it might be discontinued or they have just not updated it yet?
So is PHPMyAdmin a free software? Is it complicated for a semi-savvy user?
Thanks for your quick response. It really helps.

In reply to: wp-login.php does not recognize my usernameThanks to you both. First, I tried to add /wp-admin/ to my blog domain. I put this in:
http://comlish.com/blog/wp-admin/
and it redirected me and said I had to upgrade, which then said was successful. But the username is still not recognized. Is that the correct full extension I should have put in? (My files are under /blog).
Then I tried to find a PHPMyAdmin somewhere in my list of file names but I don’t see anything with that name. Is there another way I should look for this?
If it comes to it, I will redo the whole thing as suggested, although I did already upgrade, and I am afraid I won’t be able to find the theme I used last time if it is no longer available. (It is called “Fog.”) I really like it. I guess I don’t want to start from scratch if I don’t have to, but if so, I will.
Thanks for your help and further suggestions.

In reply to: wp-login.php does not recognize my usernameUnfortunately, it doesn’t work, and even so, don’t I need to get into my account? I did not lose the password or the login, I have it in an email that was sent to me from WordPress, so it’s not about my faulty memory.
I see in some other forums that other people have had this problem. I have now upgraded, I believe, to the current version, although it is hard to see how you know for sure that it was successful.
So does this mean I can’t access my control panel? It’s frustrating that I can’t even get past the first instruction to login. I found the online wordpress to be incredibly confusing, and I got my first Dummies book, and now I feel really, really stupid.
If there is anything anyone can do to help me it would be greatly appreciated.

In reply to: Word Press and DreamweaverThanks for all these comments and suggestions. I do develop my templates and page looks in DW, but yes, it is true, now that I know CSS better I almost never look at anything but code view.
When you are talking about “themes,” do you mean prepackaged templates for pages in WP that I can then altar the code?
That seems to be what I am looking for. Is this the main advantage of WP? I am confused about what this program does–it is for setting up blogs in an easy way primarily? Or can I use it to design my whole site. Thanks!

In reply to: Word Press and DreamweaverThanks, yes, I agree–I haven’t been using Dreamweaver much except to check for coding, now that I know CSS/XHTML. It doesn’t seem to have much use.
However, my bigger question is–is this program good for coming up with designs and templates and things like that that are not sooo complicated with so many weird coding rules?
I don’t want to be too boxed in by templates on the one hand, but I also do not want to be trying to figure out designs that are so complicated I never get my site up.
