Thanks for the reply heart. That's what I was thinking as well. I found this after searching in google for the nth time about my issue:

i don't know if the method mentioned in the post will still work seeing that it was written in 2009.


My other question is, is there a difference between a normal web host vs a webhost that specializes in hosting wordpress? It might make sense to go to a host specializes in wordpress. but it costs more than regular hosts ive seen so far and im thinking that a webhost saying they specialize in wordpress is only doing it for marketing purposes. thoughts?
