I'm not even able to get in contact with the company that I think hosts the domain because they never respond... Is it possible to install WordPress with ONLY a FTP login? I literally have no access to anything else except that.. if it's possible, can someone please give me directions on how to do it? Thank you in advance!

I heard about this excellent plugin for collecting emails on your wordpress blog, and so I downloaded the Opt-in plugin from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-opt-in/installation/

What is all that??

I posted at the WordPress.org support forums there but someone there told me to come here! I thought it was a bit odd.

Sadly, there’s nothing I’ve come across yet at WordPress.org that can help (hence pressing the panic button—I prefer reading all the FAQs and other posts first before writing my own) but I will wait to see if anyone responds to the thread there.

To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.

WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress via their Codex and Support Forums.

This is a repost but one user says I should be posting here.

I get the error message, ‘Your website needs to be publicly accessible to use Jetpack: site_inaccessible / Error Details: The Jetpack server was unable to communicate with your site [HTTP 500]. Ask your web host if they allow connections from WordPress.com. If you need further assistance, contact Jetpack Support: http://jetpack.me/support/’.

I have quite a few WordPress installations on the same server but different domains, and they all work fine. AFAIK I have used exactly the same procedure setting this one up as the others.

The xmlrpc.php file is present but when I call it from my web browser, I get a blank page. I do see the site so I don’t believe it’s a DNS issue. I registered the domain last Friday and installed WordPress on Saturday.

I have no plug-ins other than Akismet, which I have put my API key in to: this is a fresh installation.

Hope you can point me in the right direction! I have read numerous pages here already but nothing appears to fit my circumstances.

Kind regards,

Jack

I have purchased a domain name and registered for a hosting account. From the cPanel, I installed the WordPress software. It created a site that I can see and sent me an email with a login and password for the back end. However, the login does not work and will not show a dashboard.

Furthermore, when attempting to access the dashboard, WordPress will not accept my user name and password and when I tried to reset the password, it says I'm not a registered user. Yet when I start directly from wordpress.com I can log in (though it shows nothing in my dashboard concerning the site).'

Tried searching through the forums for potential answers but nothing seems to work. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

I mean for an hour or two.

And will it be possible for me to retain my current layout, use of widgets, etc., for the Ari theme I'm using?

Apologies if these seem naive questions. But I've never done this sort of thing before. I would really appreciate any advice. I'm not a complete beginner in computing though, so the move should be okay in general.
