One issue I cannot figure out is why my images are not showing? I need some help please.
The temp URL is "http://50.22.80.44/~pia/" to the site and the links in the top menu work but not the bottom menu, nor do any of the, or very few, of the images show. In .htaccess I have tried to uncomment "RewriteBase" in several different ways but nothing helps. In "settings.php" I have " $base_url = 'http://50.22.80.44/~pia';" and have tried with this commented out also; no difference.
I cannot find any other place where there is a system wide path or setting? I have experimented with permission settings on the "default" folder as well as the "settings.php" file; the settings.php is 0000 and it will not take any other. the "default" folder is currently 744 ...
any ideas?

I can see some images, but probably not user images - I see no cakes.
The side behaves very oddly. I have a dual-monitor setup here, two HP 24" screens, one in portrait orientation and the other landscape.
Most of my work is on the vertical screen. At my default size, I got just a bit of the "heaven sent" image on either size, menus top and bottom, a location panel on viewer's left, inside but beside the heaven sent image.
I narrowed the window and the side images vanished, the location data moved to a bigger panel on my right and lost its location and hours headers. The top menu was redrawn on my left.
Yes that is normal but when images don't show it looks strange; its for smaller screens like iPad and smartphones. But if you have a smartphone you are re-directed to a great smartphone site instead.
Now, Pia, you are allowed to blush.
The top menus work because they are relative to ~pia/. For example, http://50.22.80.44/~pia/?q=our-menu
The bottom menus don't work because they are absolute. For example, http://50.22.80.44/our-menu
It's that easy:-)
But I still don't know how to fix it?? I don't understand why this happens. Hostgator gave me the IP address of the server, and then appends "~pia" so I can view the site and work on it. When it's done I am going to redirect the DNS servers to the Hostgator site, and you will then use the domain name to get to the site; www.HeavenSentDesserts.com. If you use it now it goes to the currently live site which will be abandoned once the Hostgator site is working.
Since the same coding so to speak works fine on the currently live site why does it not work here? The files are all in same order and the paths are the same.
btw That facebook link wanders around depending on the width of the display too. If you have an Android tablet (I am using an ASUS TF300T with Android 4.2 and the chrome browser), you can see the problem. And the tabled shows little markers where the images should be.
I suspect Hostgator is doing its nasty 404 recovery and confusing the matter.
Does this look like a valid location for an image? It looks odd to me: http://50.22.80.44/~pia/sites/default/files/styles/fullsize_slider_front/pub...
The path to that image is "http://50.22.80.44/~pia/sites/default/files/styles/fullsize_slider_front/pub..." - I don't know what the stuff with "?itok=sWYey6Go" is ...

yeah, right. The old site.
My screen is 1280x800 if I recall correctly. Most times when sites give me their "mobile version" I find it so <politically incorrect adjective here> I then have to choose the desktop site. Wikipedia is one such.

At the existing site everything is in the root directory _and_ associated explicitly with your domain name.
At ~pia neither of these is true, absolute URLs are associated with their IP address, so your absolute URLs direct to another site.
How to fix it? Maybe a new domain name. dyndns has free ones, you could maybe register pia.imageek.org or pia.merseine.nu and use that. Hostigator would need to establish a site alias for you.
Note that cleanurls will not work with your current setup.

Drupal seems to add something of that kind all the time. "?" is a separator in URLs and used as arguments to scripts.
