Now I'm afraid and I'm just confused. I'm thankful that the site move turned out as well as it did but as I said the widgets are gone in my footer and some styling etc. Are they gone or will I find them saved somewhere. Now I'm having to re-learn again. How frustrating.
I'm using the child them "clip cart" and installed it in a subdirectory initially. Today after backing up everything - database, tool export all content and exporting Genesis Seo and theme. Following a utube video for moving the site into the root via changing the url in the database by dropping tables and re uploading (which I was successful with on another site). Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sydfh3s84js. Something seems to be broken... the site looks fine as well as in the dashboard where I imported my backed up info but when I click on any of my menu / product links I get a 500 internal error. My link is http://jneretail.com
I would appreciate help, please and thankyou so much.Ok, thanks so much. So if the file size is simply too large you wouldn't be able to upload anyways. And also, I was worried about the images loading too slowly.
Just wanted to let you know that I continued down the road to destruction this morning trying to repair db tables until even the host support couldn't help me and lost any database connection I once had?? I truly don't know what the reason for these problems was. Anyways, I've kept it at the same host but freshly installed everything in a sub directory and built a brand new database. It all went very smoothly and I learned some things along the way. Mainly... backup all you can! I thought it would take me days to redo my pages and posts and images but I am proud of myself that somewhere along the way, I think on this forum I read about exporting all the content in the Tools tab and the Genesis theme settings. Fantastic.. it worked like a charm. thanks everyone.
Thankyou again both of you for your help. After many hours today again I feel I am still not getting anywhere and at times went backwards! My login is successful again and my style is back again but still the same of behaviour with the menu items and the plugins. A couple of things I did notice along the way... when I again tried adding my menu item although it was a page I was adding while it was (pending) I noticed in the corner it said custom instead of page. I then tried to add a custom header to see what would happen and it sort of crashed the sidebar for awhile. (eventually it returned I think after logging out and in again)
Then focusing on my plugins most of the day to no avail I went through all your steps, backing up and re installing fresh downloads of WP and themes and the plugins themselves. Still no luck! What I have now noticed is that my themes will no longer change or activate either.
I hear you Derek about rebuilding the site in a new directory and pointing the domain to it but I think I'm out of time for that. If I was going to do that I may as well change hosts which if what I think should happen. If you have any more suggestions I appreciate anything at this point. the link... http://daveyderby.ca/problems, problems, problems. I've had just about enough of this. The host is webcentre.ca. I've been on the phone allot and yesterday they said they repaired something to do with the postmeta table as was suggested. This did nothing at all. Now I've had all kinds of trouble. this morning I deactivated all of my plugins so I could reactivate them individually to see if any of them were giving me the problems. I cannot activate now, and some of them I can't even delete through the dashboard. I've deleted and reinstalled through filezilla which also did not work. At times all of the widgets that I had placed in the sidebar went away as well until I logged out then back in again, they eventually came back. I am using the Agency child theme, so now the genesis responsive slider no longer works.
Then I phoned the host again this afternoon and while on the phone he did a database repair of all the tables. I got off the phone and now I cannot login at all. I thought I should try the password reset but still doesn't work. I'm noticing now that my custom background is gone now as well and it has reverted back to the Agency background. What on earth do I do now?Thankyou, so I just got off the phone with the web host. In not so many words he told me that they don't use any caching and basically couldn't explain why this was happening.
I have very minimal plugins installed and none have anything to do with caching.
Like I said earlier I didn't actually lose any pages this time just the links in the sidebar. I had used the custom menu widget to present these page links originally but this morning they wouldn't add to the menu again they just kept saying (Pending) so I use the WP pages widget instead. That is how I got the links back this time.
Could this be a problem with the custom menu widget itself?
Also, my gallery images went missing from the site this morning too. It is just the gallery plugin I was using. Could there be a problem with that plugin? Could there be compatibility issues throughout?
Thankyou for you suggestions. I am aware that your suggestions can cause these issues but I am sure this was or is not the case. The site will be fine for days and then things dissapear. It just happened last night mysteriously again. 9 of my 11 pages in the sidebar menu are gone. This time, thankfully the pages are still there but gone from the menu. So I went into the menus to re ad them and they have been (Pending) now for at least 20minutes.
When I first went into the menus, the bars were
there with what should be the pages but they were half the size
horizontally. I was able to click them open but they did not contain
anything. Can anybody help me with this issue.Further to my question and your answer... you said "when you are ready to go live - point the domain name to the subfolder instead of the root" how would I do that? Is that with the domain registrar like changing the nameservers?
I'm asking the same question here about placing a new logo in the header of the Manhattan theme. I have here changed the title. I lowered the nav and lengthened the header area but my logo doesn't show up http://www.islandnet.com/~catfishwebcreations/Wordpress/
I had a mistake in my url so my logo shows up now but it is left of the site title "Manhattan" I want the logo in that place instead. I tried the snippet to remove the site title but that didn't work.
Thankyou for your reply, yes I think it makes sense... I've been playing with the Manhattan theme and 2 plugins to see how that works. One plugin was recommended or suggested through the studiopress help - Shiba Media Library and the other I found called Easy Media Gallery. I guess I'm getting somewhere with them but he has so many categories and subcategories it may get a bit confusing.
I pasted that custom function and it's giving me this error even when I remove it now. Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/catfishw/public_html/wp-content/themes/agency/functions.php on line 104
Hi, I'm new to WordPress but not so new to web design and have been using Dreamweaver / html/css. So when editing my wordpress sites I know where to add the css div id and classes but not sure where to add the html part because I don't know much php. What I want to do at this time is add some text/maybe address and phone number in the uppper right of my header section like this page I found.. http://spectrumlandscapingmn.com/ and my logo in the left of the header. I've tried putting some html in the widget area but It didn't do anything.
