Hi guys,
Can anybody pls help me with this problem..

I am using hostgator and have my original domain `thebest-creatine.com` which i opened the hostgator account with, Yesterday i added a new domain to my account `tattoolaserremovalguide.com`

I went into cpanel `add on domain` but the next area where i have to enter my domain i think i`ve made a mistake infact i know i have because the top box you enter your domain name and there are two other boxes below and this is where i`ve made the mistake as i wasn`t sure what to put here.

When i went to cpanel to install WP there where 3 domains in the dropdown box.. 1 thebest-creatine.com , 2 thebestcreatine/tattoolaserremovalguide , 3 Tattoolaserremovalguide.com !!

When i went to Filezilla typed in.

ftp.tattoolaserremovalguide.com...username...passw ord

This just takes me to my original `thebest-creatine.com` infomation, i can see the theme i added for this site and when i tried to add a new theme it just shows up in the `thebest-cratine.com` dashboard although on filezilla i am entering ftp.tattoolaserremovalguilde.com.

I think i know what i did wrong i entered the domain infomation wrong but.. what should i of put for `Subdomain/Ftp Username` and what about `Document Root`and how can i go back and sort this out ..PLS help !!!

Cheers jim

    When you add an add-on domain, it goes into a folder under your public_html. When you put the new domain name into the first box (not thebest-creatine.com) Cpanel will populate the 2nd and third boxes. For some strange reason it tries to add the .com in the document root. This is OK, but it is not needed. I take that off so the subdomain is say tattoolaserremovalguide and the doc root is public_html/tattoolaserremovalguide

    So, when you log into FTP, you use tattoolaserremovalguide@thebest-creatine.com as the username and whatever pw you chose in setting up the add-on domain.

    Hope that makes sense....no coffee yet!

    Hi Guys,
    Can anybody tell me how to add a theme to my WP blog using hostgator cpanel instead of filezilla ??

    I can see it works just like filezilla you go to `www` then `wp-content` then `themes` but when i try to drag and drop my new theme into the box it just comes up with a new screen which has no follow though !!!

    PLS help.. Jim

    When you are in Filezilla, open the folder tattoolaserremovalguide the wp-content/themes and upload the folder there.
