New objective added:
"Pre1: Get website back online, editing tools recovered, www working, update wordpress, and implement SSL"
I reset the server, which got website working, got all my editing tools back online, got www. working, but that's where I ran into issues... how to FTP so wordpress can install its own stuff... and then ran outta time before looking into updating.
I also did a backup of the server's HTML folder on my computer under _work\website and server\BACKUP so I could play around without ruining the site. Sounds like the config.wp file will be 100% needed.
WWW:
just made in AWS Route 53 tool. Key was just using an "a". added www. + ham. for fun.
