In reply to: Getting Stuck Removing /WordPress/ from site URLThanks for being so understanding of my denseness, @ctalk. I do think I understand now.
If it were I, I’d proceed thus. Leave everything alone until you’ve got the site ready to go live. Then you can use a plugin to migrate your site from your current url to your computertalk.com url & use the instructions you were trying to use from the Codex to get rid of the /wordpress portion of the url. Hopefully using a plugin will eliminate the need of a search-&-replace of your database, but that’s easily enough accomplished also if required.
If, when you reach that point, you need additional assistance, just post to this topic & @mention me, & hopefully my dense little ears will perk up & I’ll be able to give more assistance. But believe me when I tell you, there are others as or more capable than I who can help as well, so don’t hesitate to yelp for help.
1 last thing I’d suggest–don’t forget to back up your original site–just in case something goes fubar. You’ll never regret having a backup–but you could regret not having 1. Spoken from entirely too much personal experience & way too much cowardice.

In reply to: Getting Stuck Removing /WordPress/ from site URL@ctalk, I don’t mean to sound dense here, though that is likely indeed the case. Please attribute it to tax day here in the US & insufficient coffee. However, I’m still not certain of a few things, so please help a struggling support forum volunteer out, if you’d be so kind.
1) Are you thinking of replacing your existing site w/the site under construction, or is this an extension to the other site, ie, a blog, etc?
2) If this is intended to be a replacement, then it’s likely premature to replace the url’s now. Do that when you’ve got the site the way you want it & are ready to go live. How you’ll do that is sort of dependant on how Network Solutions works. I had a client who hosted there once til he decided he’d rather host w/me, &, since that’s been years ago, it’s likely changed since then anyway, so it’d be hard for me to instruct you precisely. You’ll either need to move the site, including its database, to where you want it to go, or use a redirect from your control panel to point the existing folder to the new domain. But here again, because I’m uncertain as to your intent, it’s difficult for me to reply w/any degree of certainty as to how you should proceed. If you do choose to migrate the site, there are several plugins available to help do this. 1 I’ve personally used is called “Duplicator”. I’m not sure it’s even being maintained now, as I haven’t used it in awhile. I’m sure there are others. Legal disclaimer: my mention of it in no way constitutes an endorsement, either by myself or the WordPress community at large.Please feel free to set me straight, & I in turn might be able to provide better advice, because I feel pretty unhelpful now.

In reply to: Getting Stuck Removing /WordPress/ from site URLHello, @ctalk, & welcome. Could you please tell us what you’d like the address of the WordPress installation to be? & what is the address of your static homepage? I’m pretty sure in the final analysis you don’t want this to be related to netsolhost.com, as that is for network solutions. So if you could help us out w/that info, that’d be good. Also, is your static homepage also a WordPress installation or an HTML page or something else? All this would help us know how to instruct you to proceed.
@rowanelysa, sorry. The PHP comment wasn’t actually directed toward you, but I did not make that clear. My bad. G.A. often causes difficulty, unfortunately.
Thom, please try upgrading your PHP to at least 5.6, & preferably 7. Also, please use a default theme. You can do that by renaming your current theme folder by putting a .old or a 1 on the end, ie, alaytheme1.
@rowanelysa, please start your own topic if you haven’t done so already, as I suggested in the ‘Accessibility forum’, but feel free to post a link back here–I’ll follow both. The advice I gave Thom can also apply to your situation as well.

In reply to: 4.9.5 Update – redirect loop wp-adminy4nux, it appears to be working now, actually. If it isn’t for you, then please clear your browser cache & try again.

In reply to: 4.9.5 Update – redirect loop wp-adminAlso, y4nux, where do you have your subdomain pointing to in your hosting provider’s control panel?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: 4.9.5 Update – redirect loop wp-adminy4nux, the first line in your .htaccess file says to set your PHP version to 5.3. Support has ended for it a very long time ago. Please upgrade your PHP version or have your hosting provider to so for you & see if it resolves some of your difficulties. Thank you for providing your site url.
Hello, luminarycrush, & welcome. My thoughts are that your file ownership, permissions, or both are incorrect. If I were a betting woman (I’m not, I hate losing money, & I don’t have any to lose), my bet is that it’s your ownership. All files in your WordPress & subfolders need to be running under the webserver user/group. You should likely have your user join the webserver group, unless the user is the only one who will be running a site on your machine, in which case the site can run under the webserver user & group. Change the ownership of all files in all WordPress folders to reflect that.
Please let us know if that isn’t clear.

In reply to: My multisite config not workingHello, Rob, & welcome. You can find an article in the codex here:
https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Create_A_Network
but, having said that, this is not the way I personally would go about it, in case it makes any difference. I’d do a separate install of WordPress locally, ie, mampp/htdocs/nonprofit. I’m not precisely certain what the web root folder for Mampp is, for Xampp it’s htdocs, so I used that, but please substitute as appropriate.Please let us know if you have additional questions. Good luck, both to you & your NPO.

In reply to: 4.9.5 Update – redirect loop wp-adminHello, y4nux, & welcome. Could you please provide your site url?
@prathameshp, thanks. I never got cron to work & regretfully abandoned the plugin. I really liked it otherwise, but I simply couldn’t get it to work. I suppose I could’ve tried to wade through the files to figure out precisely what occurs when a cron is called in terms of the scripts being run & found a workaround, but I just didn’t have the time–the client needed his website working. Obviously w/no error messages, the task became harder still. I suspect I’m not the only person experiencing this difficulty, however, &, since you can’t replicate the problem, I would be happy to do some testing on my server if you can think of anything to test out.
Please consider posting a link to the new topic here, hyrum0, so we can follow. I myself am having no problems viewing the site. You may wish to more precisely tell us what sorts of messages you’re receiving, etc.
