In reply to: Simple subfolder wierdnessHi, thanks for that great information. I’m using Domain Central on Powweb, and have 4 sites in 4 subfolders. All that is clear and almost exactly what I’ve done. Except, since I want to develop the WP site without anyone seeing it being done and while the old site is still up. I work on the site (in a unique folder) Examaple.com/16, while Example.com/15 is still up. Then when I which the pionting to Example.com/16, either the pages can’t be found or it asks me to start my install from scratch? Meanwhile the folder with a completely developed WP site that is supposed to be at that address has completely vanished. ( I believe in my case the redirects are generated via a htacess file / dictionary file, and my actual name servers, NS1-2 stay the same with my host info)
I have had to redo from scratch 3 sites that were complete developed because of this problem, I have 1 more to do and I would love to get it right this time.
In those cases I had to load and develop the site while they were live at it’s end .com destination. Instead of backstage where I would have.
I am using different data bases, I made that mistake on the first one/2nd one.
What do you do? what is the most practical way to proceed? – just load the site while it’s live?

In reply to: Simple subfolder wierdnessI understand that if the Main site is pointing to RootFolder/htdocs/Example.com/2014, which on the web appears to be Example.com and you biuld a WP site in a folder RootFolder/htdocs/Example.com/2016 and then you go to Point to 2016, it messes up the configuration, becuase Example.com is no longer Example.com/2014. But what do I do? Do I have to develop the site in a remote Location, like a development location, and then manually migrate it to the new location ie. the original site location? Or is there a better way?

In reply to: [Jetpack - WP Security, Backup, Speed, & Growth] Jet pack disconnetedI don’t even know if It’s possible to reconnect my site and it’s relationship to the wordpress.com account. all I’m sure of is at the moment the link between them is broken.

In reply to: When I “point” to my new wp-site it goes to a different site.Thank you so much Girlieworks, I figured my big mistake happened early on. If I’m understanding right I have to start over from scratch with the second install. That install “tools” has been fully developed and has tons of info built into it already.
As far as a practical strategy is concerned. A. can I redo the less developed first install instead. B. can I clone the one of them and force it to read from a different database, which would be a copy of the original database? or sadly, C. learn from my mistakes and completely rebuild the 2nd install from scratch.
I sincerely appreciate your advice.
