Problems with wordpress install on webserver?

Question

I've installed wordpress on my hosted webspace (using 1and1), and everything went soomthly and I got through to the admin panel.

After logging in, when I click on view site it opens up the address but there is no blog there - nothing!

Can someone please tell how I can possible resolve this?

P.s. I'm installing in the root directory.

Many thanks

Answer 1

You can check whether there is a theme installed in your blog. Usually these themes are located in the wp-content folder. Check it out. Maybe a problem with regards your theme that is why nothing shows.

If there is a theme you can then check whether this theme is present in your admin control panel (wordpress). If there is no theme, you can download a theme and put it in your wp-content.

Hi there,.

Have you checked to see what is in the root of your server?  It may be that there is another index file there that takes precedence over the one that Wordpress creates which is causing the problem.

Have a look with an FTP program and check the files are there and that should resovle it for you.

All the best
