Courses Plus Student 8,613 PointsMy pages are not showing up in live view & now localhost isn't presenting itself correctly, either.
I am on GoDaddy's CPanel hosting — just switched yesterday from their classic linux (old) hosting that didn't allow me to do all the customizations to the database that Zac was showing in the backend. So I made the switch.
It's not showing anything correctly now. I have gone through all the steps and am now getting this when I click into the folder on the index page of local host:
It used to look like an actual Wordpress page.
And then when I go to the live site, which is test.dev.kgshowroom.com (test is a subdirectory I had to set up on our domain (dev.kgshowroom.com) in order to develop the new wordpress site without it overriding our main page), it's not working at all:
.
I am not sure what the heck I might be missing or what I did to mess this up. It was all working fine before this point when I was on the old hosting plan, but like I said, I couldn't do the database modifications in CPanel because my old hosting plan didn't allow for new databases & users to be created, so I was stalled there. Then I got this one and was able to continue on and it is completely not working...?

Courses Plus Student 8,613 PointsI'm starting to think I was meant to stick to old-fashioned HTML & CSS sites. ;)

33,856 PointsWell, databases can be tricky. It's especially true when each host has a different configuration. Static sites are still pretty fashionable, though

Courses Plus Student 8,613 PointsI did — if you mean exporting it from MAMP. Then I imported it into the database in Godaddy as Zac instructed.
