How can I switch to 'Fresh News', a PREMIUM theme?
-
Mac,
Thanks v. much. I deserve the sleepless night I have endured while you deserve an award of excellence for competence and patience.
I told myself I read the WHOLE agreement but the important point was definitely not read and it was in bold.
This is enough for now; I’ll rest and start again another day – not tomorrow!
Sincere regards, Oh, I forgot to say I AM happy at the tentative steps taken so far.
TOLA.

Good morning, Mac.
Yes, I did, and that’s why I sent my last note thanking you for your competence and patience for which I wrote that you deserve an award! Not once did exasperation show thru the ineptitude I showed through lack of know-how which I’m now sure my mind is already unbend-able.
I wrote that “I told myself I read the WHOLE agreement but the important point was definitely not read and it was in bold.”
I cannot believe I’m already up after under 3 hours and nothing else is on my my mind. My mail box does not make things any easier.
What is my relationship with GoDaddy because I only checked the receipt but am not taking on the “now let’s get started” before I check from WP. I’m not sure I need any further trip down tech road beyond where I am now nor am I ready for any new expenses.
Sincere regards,
TOLA. -
GoDaddy is your domain registrar for emotanglobal.me, so you’ll handle all domain-specific management things through them.

Mac, Thanks for this. It is mostly around evening that web access is a bit easier; hence the delay in sending a response.
One more question before I drop what I had prepared for Grace’s return on your ever-patient ears:
What does my “domain registrar” mean and what will they do for me that WP does not do right now?
1. Mapping: As the PREMIUM was re-processed yesterday, the earlier MAPPING still stand because a mistake was made on the PREMIUM and I found myself in the regular category but that has been corrected or does it have to be redone?
2. Contents from old blog: Another thing I have not been able to resolve is the problem you helped with two weeks ago: movement of contents from my old blog, emotanafricana.com.
I do not know if it is possible within the configuration allowed by wordpress to be able to continue to access my old blog for several reasons while I will keep on using emotanglobal as I am already doing.
3. Contents of emotanafricana.com: At one point BEFORE GoDaddy came on the scene yesterday, I typed in ‘emotanglobal.com’ and, suddenly arrived at the old ‘emotanafricana.com’ homepage although ‘emotanglobal.com’ was in the URL. Now I was really confused because ‘emotanglobal.com’ gave me ONLY contents of the old blog each time I typed it with no access to the new material.
4. What is the relationship between GoDaddy.Com and me? I’m having problem with the URL because when I input ‘emotanglobal.me’ I landed at GoDaddy’s site.
5. I do not need emotanglobal.me if it calls for me going with GoDaddy.com or any other for that matter. Mac was helping with completing “registration of domain process” when I landed at a point with My blog as it looks right now, emotanglobal.com, is okay with me but I was merely following steps in the instructions of “Registeration of a Domain and suddenly faced with choosing one of several names among which the only one I ever heard was GoDaddy.com; I try putting a question through to him but then I thought it was all part of what I needed to do. I do not have a need for the me registration nor do I want GoDaddy.com where the first thing in my mail box is to decide to do more purchasing.
6. Even if I would lose the money paid for 2-year registration of emotanglobal.me, that would be okay with me. I’m not in this beyond widening my horizon AND trying to hold on to as much of my mental capacity as possible while sharing with others my interest in writing. I am okay with WORD PRESS unless the go-daddy guys are a must!
I hope these are coherent for you even as they seem mumble-jumble because I really need help.
Regards,
TOLA.

Hi Tola,
What does my “domain registrar” mean and what will they do for me that WP does not do right now?
Domain registrars is where you purchased the domain. The registrar would control things like your nameservers. Wherever your nameservers are pointed to is the site that you will see. That’s why you can register a domain anywhere but still see your WordPress.com site at your domain if you point your nameservers to us.
We are also a registrar, similar to GoDaddy. Your other domains: emotanafricana.com and emotanglobal.com are registered through us. If you no longer want emotanglobal.me because it is registered through GoDaddy, please contact them regarding that.
4. What is the relationship between GoDaddy.Com and me? I’m having problem with the URL because when I input ‘emotanglobal.me’ I landed at GoDaddy’s site.
GoDaddy is your registrar. If you want to point that domain to us, just purchase the Domain Mapping upgrade and map it to us by changing the nameservers to this:
- NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
- NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
- NS3.WORDPRESS.COM
Here’s a guide for more information:
1. Mapping: As the PREMIUM was re-processed yesterday, the earlier MAPPING still stand because a mistake was made on the PREMIUM and I found myself in the regular category but that has been corrected or does it have to be redone?
I don’t understand what this means. WordPress.com Premium was added to emotan.wordpress.com with the domain: emotanglobal.com as requested. It is now mapping to emotan.wordpress.com and emotanafricana.com.
emotanglobal.com was originally mapped to: emotanglobal.wordpress.com
Do you still want to use this site: emotanglobal.wordpress.com?
-
Welcome back, Grace.
“emotanglobal.com was originally mapped to: emotanglobal.wordpress.com
Do you still want to use this site: emotanglobal.wordpress.com? “
YES, I still want to remain with wordpress. All I thought I was doing was following the step to get to this instruction on my DASHBOARD:
“Tip: A free domain was included in the purchase of your WordPress.com bundle. Get that domain for your site now!”
I did it the other time and arrived at “emotanglobal.com”. That’s all I want.
2. Pardon my lack of understanding: Does “It is now mapping to emotan.wordpress.com and emotanafricana.com” mean the MAPPING problem is now solved?
3. If I want to check some contents from “emotanafricana.com”, how would that happen through my current site?
4. Thanks for the GoDaddy explanation; I do not need to go there at all. WPress is perfect for me.
Thanks v. much.

So you want emotanglobal.com moved back to emotanglobal.wordpress.com? Please confirm and I can move it for you.
Thank you!
-
1. Yes.
2. Tip: A free domain was included in the purchase of your WordPress.com bundle. Get that domain for your site now!
Do I need to go back to get emotanglobal.com as in #2 above because I want emotanglobal.com?
3. How can I access the contents you helped me move from the old blog?
Thank you very much for all the trouble.
TOLA. -
Hi there,
It has been moved to as requested including the Premium upgrade. You can access it in the same account: emotanglobal.
Thank you!
-
Thanks, Grace.
1. I notice that the theme I chose, FRESH NEWS, has been changed. Am I to reprocess my Premium Theme and the Theme?
2. I will try to access both and see if I get it.
Regards,
TOLA. -

I can provide you credit to purchase it again on the new theme, but this means it will not be on the site: emotanafricana.com. That will revert to a free theme. Is that okay? If you want it on both you will have to purchase it again for emotanglobal.com.
-
Thanks, Grace. I won’t mind if the old site reverts to a free theme but I’ll prefer something more subtle, e.g. Twenty Twelve (?).
And before we wrap this up for which I’m very HAPPY about your work – and Mac’s – I must mention that when I tried to search for some old titles, what I kept on getting was;
” Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

NOTHING FOUND
Sorry, but nothing matched your search terms. Please try again with different keywords.”Regards,
TOLA. -
THE RESPONSE I SENT YESTERDAY APPARENTLY DID NOT GO THROUGH TO YOU:
1. I’d like ’emotanglobal’ on FRESH NEWS and ’emotanafricana.com’ on the free theme.
2. And before we wrap this up for which I’m very HAPPY about your work – and Mac’s – I must mention that when I tried to search for some old titles, what I kept on getting was;
NOTHING FOUND
SORRY, BUT NOTHING MATCHED YOUR SEARCH TERMS. PLEASE TRY AGAIN WITH DIFFERENT KEYWORDS.3. To access ’emotanafricana.com’, what password will I use or does the password to ’emotanglobal’ get me to both.
I thank you very much, and my regards,
TOLA. -
Hi there,
I have responded to you privately. Please check your email and respond from there if you have any questions.
-
Pardon giving so much problem, Grace, but I searched the In boxes, the Trash from 9/28 and Spam of both yahoo where this came from and toladenle@emotanafricana’s gmail; nothing in either.
Could you re-send, please?
THANKS, TOLA. -
I have emailed the address on the account with the username: emotan.
Please note that if you don’t have access to that account I will not be able to help you with this.
The email is not a Yahoo or Gmail account.

Dear Grace,
Thanks for the continued effort on my part.
The only account I’ve had with the user name, ’emotan’ was my old account which was opened for me by my daughter in the Summer of 2010. The email address with it was “info@ajalaco” which I changed to “info@emotanafricana” and “tolaadenle@emotanafricana”. My daughter, who has been the one encouraging me at every turn told me she deleted the account once I chose a new one because she said she could not leave it lying around.
I hope you will take this as adequate explanation; forgetting to check with her was why I had to lose the old blog on which I had put quite some effort to the point of getting average 200 views/day, sometimes more. I had to wait for her tonight to return from work to find out the information I have put down here.
That is all I can – or should – bother you with at this stage while I await something that would make me HAPPY as far as my blogging is concerned in almost 4 weeks.
You have my sincere regards,
TOLA.
