    hi there,
    my friend would like me to show him how to build a new website using wordpress and i’ve recommended that he buys a licence so that he can do it via your enfold theme.

    he has a basic old html / css website here at: http://www.ifsmotivationaldefence.co.uk/

    but it does have a basic wordpress blog installed here: http://www.ifsmotivationaldefence.co.uk/blog/

    i’ve propsed just deleting all of the old page given it looks a little rusty and out of date now, i told them they can use this ‘under construction’ plug in while the new site is being built: http://wordpress.org/plugins/ultimate-coming-soon-page/

    however, i’ve never built a new wordpress site to replace an existing wordpress site. will there be any problems if i just delete everything from their web hosting server (including their existing wordpress site) using ftp and do a fresh reinstall wordpress and then start building from scratch? is there anything i should be aware of that i haven’t thought of in respect to any of this?

    thanks,
    paul

    Hey paulrt27!

    It depends on the hosting provider but it would be best to delete the database associated with the old one as well. Talk to the hosting provider and see if they can help with deleting the old database so that you can do a fresh install.

    Cheers!
    Devin
