Thanks! I'm sorry it has taken this long to see your posts. I have the thread bookmarked, and it usually updates when there is a new post, but it didn't.
As for 000webhost.com, I had given up on getting it to work there and they said exactly what I thought they would say when they replied to my ticket "Upgrade and we will help you get your script up and running." I just figure that if I can't get the basics to work on the free package, why waste money to figure out it probably isn't going to work on their paid one.
I just recently found Forma on the Fantastico F3 autoinstaller, but it has been removed from Mojo, which is where I initially found out about this program and used the demo. I am just not seeing many places that use Fantastico, even from the ones Fantastico report as partners.
I found a file on my computer that suggested that I signed up for a free account at FreeHostSpace.com and decided to chase that rabbit. To my shock and awe, I was able to get it to install (except for social media logins) correctly and it actually allowed me to log in without the blank page. I was using a different domain name (another freeby) because I don't want to keep bouncing the paid one around on things that don't work. After proof that it did work, I set up this one this morning.
I am having a difficult time finding actual reviews for the FreeHostSpace.com despite the domain being registered for 12 years. So, I don't know about paying them to host, but I am learning more by the hour and it is definitely good to know that other shared hosting should work.
I am sure that I will have many, many more questions to come, but I would sincerely like to thank everyone who is helping out here. Hopefully, this blank page journey will help the next person...
