I don’t know the details of the installation. I tried to find support online, but there isn’t anything I can find to help me with this.

Thanks. I may install it again and populate it with information that isn’t important so I can learn it.

If you don’t know how to answer all the technical details of the questions in the support template, that’s fine, but at least try to describe what you did as good as you can.

I mean, you must at least know roughly what you did when you first installed it, what you did to update it, and what system you did it on.

They uploaded it to my site, which is on a Namecheap server. There was no other information when I initially downloaded it or did the upgrades.
