in your cpanel, find Fantastico. into it have auto wordpress installer. there is a tutorial for installing wordpress: http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress
Try to find Fantastico or Simple Scripts! These are the auto-installer which supports most of open source pre-made installed scripts just activation required
Yeah,i also have this common problem by my hosting client. But they are lucky coz i do guide them side by side. You can try seek help from HG by ask their live support or see the tutorial here http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/wordpress/
well.. it will be depend on what cms u use? wordpress??? for wordpress u should upload ur script to /wp-content/themes and activate it from wordpress dashboard in appearance side bar menu.
Ah nevermind, I need help again! I'm into Wordpress and I want to upload a theme. Only problem is, I can only upload a Zip file, and my theme has loads of different files (php, jscript, jpg etc) rather than the zip file itself. Can anyone offer any help? Cheers
You have to log into your main port of the word press theme... that is where you activate a specific theme. Now working with one.. will have to be done in your cpanel or FTP.
I thought that the new version of wp 2.9 allowed one to search for a them and automatically upload it from the admin. If you have a theme of your own, you'll need to access your site via ftp or use Godaddy's file manager. Upload your zip file to the /wp-content/themes folder, then select it, and unzip if using GD's file manager. After that, log into your wp site as the admin and go to "Appearence" then select your theme and activate it.
Can you upload via ftp? You can use programs like cuteftp or wsftp. I use Adobe Dreamweaver, but that costs $$ upfront. If you still have problems, PM me for my email address and I can give you a hand. I know Word Press very well.
