Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: WP install on Westhost accountI’m using Westhost as well and had absolutely no problem setting up WP. I used the following configuration:
User: root
Host: localhost
Password: ********* (same as the the PHPMyAdmin password)
DB Name: sf_general (name I chose in PHPMyAdmin)
I’m assuming you have PHPMyAdmin installed since there is an option to do so right in the control panel. It makes dealing with the databases much easier. You can also email me if you need additional help.

In reply to: How can i change layout to my own?Take your index_mt.html and change the extension to php. That will give you index_mt.php. Since WP is written in PHP all your pages will have a PHP extension (with exception to the CSS file of course).
Then pop open that file in an editor and also open the index.php in an editor. You’ll want to start cutting and pasting things in as you see fit. The important stuff is The Loop and the stuff in between the header tags. Everything else you can figure out if you read through the wiki. When you are finished with that, make sure you rename your index_mt.php to index.php.
Post back if I’ve confused you anymore. I was trying to unconfuse, I swear. 🙂Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Search non-WP site contentI’d go with an external search as well. Atomz is great.
