I have been trying to move my site hosting from WA to 1and1. I have created a full backup of my site in dropbox. The thing is I can't seem to find an option to upload my site t
I used to have an account with 1and1, lasted a week. I can't remember anymore what my gripe was with that place since I've been through a few. Maybe it was their horrible technical support.
But going to your problem, you will have to use FTP to transfer your files, whether you use an actual FTP program (e.g. FileZilla or Tunnelier which is my personal choice because of its simplicity) or some other program that seems to make FTP not part of the process. If you have your site files in your local computer, you can FTP it straight to 1and1, you just need to know which folder to put them in so that WordPress will find them.
Hey Grendall, yes I agree the technical support with 1and1 is pure messy.. The issue is I have no idea which folder to upload my site to to FTP straight to 1and1.. Thanks so much for your advice!
Wow. Didn't know they have a tutorial on their site! Gonna check it back later. Do I change the DNS first or do I upload the site first though?
And loll. I'm trying out their hosting then if it sucks I can cancel the contract within 30 days.
Thanks Jason!
Hi buddy
First....1&1??? Really????
Anyways change your dens back to 1&1 then you'll probably need to wait 2-3 days....1&1 are slow slow slow
Then you'll need to upload via filezila to 1and1 ftp
They have a tutorial on their site specific to 1&1

Why 1and1? I use and recommend HostGator. I'm an affiliate so if you want to try them out send me a private message.

Hi Van,
I would like you to read the comments Kyle left recently on the post below about writing a blog post welcoming new members. After all, Jackson has not filled out his profile or put a photo up of himself. Kyle would like us all to refrain from these type of posts.
Thank you very much.
Duncan Totally useless requests of welcoming new people and a waste of your and my time
Yes I have read the post, like I said Jackson had been making connections with fellow members and I thought it was a good sign. Thank you for the reminder nevertheless :)
I understand. At least he has put up a picture, no longer is a black profile, so I think I may encourage him to fill out his profile too. Thank you again for your input
Making connections is nice, but who is he? He needs to fill out his profile so we can all be of greater benefit to him.

Guys sorry to bother you again, could you help me check this post and see if you can rate it (the post itself and not any product)? I tried to but it wouldn't let me rate.

Did you check your facebook link? I clicked to "like" and had to go to your facebook page directly because nothing happend...
And I didn't manage to rate you... :(
Ana
Rated it 5 stars :)
a few remarks
Committment = commitment
band The Bob = band. The Bob
Settings pictures = set on none, when not a link attached, it's now media file, you lose customers over this.
Thank you Loes! Really appreciate the feedback. The settings for pictures is in admin settings?
Hey, it's supposed to be at the bottom. I've found a plugin that works and it appears that the ratings can be seen on all the posts now.
If you have the time could you maybe refresh the page and look at the bottom of the post. Thanks so much.
I think i still don't see it for some reason.
At the bottom i see only "promoted content", "recent comments","about me","stay connected"

Great website and awesome content. Are you talking about where is says spotlight or favorite or featured when you say post rating or the social media sharing feature. I see both!
Hi Sheila, thanks so much for helping me. I implemented a rating feature for each post so I wasn't sure if other people are able to use it to rate my posts :)

It's there now. I see it. But I can't rate it.
It's like it's an image you uploaded. I right-clicked, save as, and the file name says "rating_off" Hmm.
It's supposed to be automatically enabled but I'm guessing it was the plugin. So I installed another one and apparently I can rate all the posts now. Could you refresh the page and see if you can rate it now? Thank you so much!
Oh My Word! You have one awesome site Gina!
I'm not sure if I could see any posts either, but seriously - you have done a fantastic job! Would you like to build mine for me now :-)
I actually rather like the way you have set it out with the thumbnail pics and description to the links. I know it looks a little busy, but overall, it kind of suits the upbeat, cheerful kind of atmosphere. I sort of felt like I was entering a busy music shop where everything is everywhere! I don't mean it's disorganised - far from it.
Do you have any soundtracks on there?
I play guitar (very badly) - self-taught on an ancient Yamaha I was given for my 10th birthday. We've grown old together and neither of us is much good at what we do, but it's good enough for a bit of fun!
Cheers
Ellie
Hey Ellie, thanks so much for your help! I'll be happy to help you design the layout of your site. If you need any help do ask and I will try my best. Note that each theme has its own restrictions though and I actually paid for my theme to be able to customize it. Let me know if you need anything. Thanks again!
And you're awesome to stay with your guitar for so long! I just love guitars :)
I have one latest track that I embedded on the sidebar :) thank you for asking.
Take care Ellie!
Would you really? I so hate my theme! It is so restricted! I wanted something really visually pleasing and all it looks like is a stupid school project!!! How can I customise images - you know - add speech bubbles and put them in frames and stack them on top of each other - just generally make it look - well - less like a school project! Maybe there is a paid version - or maybe I could start from scratch with something that I can play around with! Have a look for me, if you have a minute:
www.breastforbabies.com
These are the things I most hate:
1. Background - at the moment it is pink. Just plain pink and if you add a background picture, it just loads underneath the main 'writing' section and you can't see anything at all. Just pink still! I wanted a nice sort of dreamy nursery kind of background but not 'babyish'. I know what I want, but I can't make it visible!
2. Fonts - BOOOOOORRRRINNNG! They are OK, but the cursive font is hard to read and I don't want them PINK! They are too hard to read and neither do I want them black! But only a handful of options available - pink, orange, green, red, blue etc
3. See that ribbon? I changed the colour of that to add a bit of interest and it looks kind of stupid - otherwise it is just one of the set options listed above. I don't like it...........wahhhhhhh
4. See what I mean by the pics looking like a dumb school project? Is there a plugin for playing around with images?
5. I'm trying to fix my menu so my blogs go into the 'Ellie's Blog' tab and then drop down. I have found the training for it so I think I can fix that problem at least!
Thanks Gina - please give me your thoughts. If I could get this thing looking like I want it, then I'd load my content in and get it ranking! I have kept holding back because I so dislike it and everything else I try messes the whole thing up!
Cheers
Ellie
Hi Ellie, have you tried looking at other themes? I see the default color of your theme is pink and we can't change it on a free theme. The same thing with the default font.. Right now everything looks a little too bright and the font is frankly a bit hard to read.. So I would really recommend looking for a new theme. If you need help looking for a new one let me know..
Hi Gina - where on earth do I start with the themes! Most of them look the same and then when I change the theme and try something else, it generally looks worse!
I know the font is hard to read
HEEEELLLLLLPPPPP!
Hi ellie,maybe you can give me a set of criteria of the theme that you want? I will try looking for a theme that meets your criteria
Oh - do you mind sending me a PM first? For some weird reason, I cannot send a new PM. I can reply once I have the person in my list, but I can't start a new message! Sorry - I'm sitting here waiting...
I keep forgetting to tell support - I'll do it now while I'm waiting for you
I don't see it either, but how are popular post decided? Overall well-done site. two things I would suggest is u to use full-width, and maybe have just text links of titles of popular posts on the right sidebar, instead of profile image and description of post. that way does not look so "busy"
Thank you. The popular posts is by number of views. I will check the settings again. Thanks for the feedback!
