You saved me: I was trying and trying doing everything without adding or giving all the permissions to the created new user. Once I gave the user all the permissions, the site came live. Thanks

Thank you Bryce, followed your excellent step by step instruction and I was able to get my WordPress web sight up and running! Big thumbs up!!

The last option to set privileges fixed it all. I sat here without thinking about my interview tomorrow morning to fix my social site that I've created for asexuals and already have 400+ users. They are going to be mad at me that in the process of changing hosting, I messed it all up. Thanks a lot. I'll wait to give a very strong wird to the support team who are just so damn useless
