I am just starting out with Word Press, but have 33+ yeaers of UNIX experience.  I am intentionally developing on a laptop to facilitate taking it places, and getting help.  I don't even have the development plugins installed yet.  I was able to get the WP basic installation installed OK but I was unable to install the IgnitionDeck plugins according to instructions.  So, I installed Akismet while waiting for help from the support group.  It installed just fine. I did some searching and used the same pattern to install the basic IgnitionDeck plugin.  I then installed Wordfence, it installed fine, but crashed my WP development html page.  I ended up commenting out the Wordfence lines in /etc/wordpress/htaccess.  I am unable to do any upgrades, the window just sits there and gives me no response.  The 2 remaining Ignition Deck plugins also fail to install according to instructions even when I use the manual method I used to install the IgnitionDeck base plugin.

Is there any way we could get together?  I will be happy to meet with you any time any where in the valley.

Please let me know.

Thanks You!
