Why does FullPageOS not load the WLAN?

All you have to do is edit fullpageos-network.txt in the boot folder of the SD card from your computer or laptop. You can read about the full process in the FullPageOS README

I can't reach my FullPageOS under fullpageos.local under Windows, why?

That .local part makes it a special address. Linux and MacOS already know how to understand it, Windows needs a little extra help.

You'll have to download the Bonjour Print Services for Windows and install them. Then make sure your Windows Firewall allows Traffic on UDP Port 5353 and grant internet access to the mDNSresponder.exe (part of the Bonjour support you just installed).

How to rotate the screen to a vertical position?

To rotate the screen, you need to edit the /boot/config.txt file, and add lcd_rotate=2

Note: This will only work if you home LAN is not set up to use .local as it's own LAN specific top level domain. This should usually not be the case, but if it is and you can't get your home LAN setup differently (e.g. by switching to .lan) you'll need to access your FullPageOS instance by its IP address, sorry.
