Can I go back and wipe my site clean and use the Shape Shifter installer to install it the right way? How would I do this?

Well I did a fresh install from my Shape 5 folder and the pages now appear. However it indicates in the last minute of your tutorial to click on the WordPress Theme name in the upper left hand corner and your web page will be displayed. One thing that is odd is Paradigm Shift theme name isn't displayed next to WordPress so I can't click on it to display my page? So now what have I done wrong?

I did a fresh install from the Shape5 folder and it installed the pages for the ParadigmShift theme. But the last step in your video indicates to click on the theme logo and the theme will be activated. I have no theme logo to click on so I can't activate it. What am I doing wrong now?

Installing the site shaper is what activates the theme. Clicking the site name was just to show you that the shaper was effective.
I just looked at your site. Everything seems to be installed properly, and the demo content appears to all be there.
Were you having some kind of problem with it?

When I try to edit a page and then preview it , the page never shows up and I get an error. I also can't seem to insert images, I get the same result. Are their other widgets or plugins I have to install and activate to be able to edit the page now?
Thanks
Rick

If you are getting a 404 for pages, you may have to reset the permalink structure. Just go to "Settings -> Permalinks" and hit "Save". That will re-generate the .htaccess file that WP needs in order for permalinks to resolve correctly.

I'm able to edit pages now. Do you know of any tutorials available to help me understand how widgets work and how to install/edit them. Thanks Rick
