In reply to: Media Uploader Not Working Correctly – No Error CodeHello, Scott, & welcome. Could you please provide us w/your site url & and example image where this is occurring? That might be really helpful in assisting you to diagnose this problem.

In reply to: wp-admin files has no permissionssiritinga, there’s a couple things. First, let’s try disabling cache. I think you’ve already deactivated wp-supercache. Pleas check the wp-content folder for 2 files–advanced-cache.php & wp-content/wp-cache-config.php, &, if found, rename/remove them. Also, if there is an entry in your wp-config.php file defining caching, please remove it or comment it out. Now try seeing if you receive the permission errors.
If that does not work, then would it be possible to disable Cloudflare? Sometimes their Rocketscript can break WordPress.

In reply to: wp-admin files has no permissionsHello, again, siritinga. Here’s what let’s do.
1) Please rename your .htaccess to htaccess, ie, w/o the initial period.
2) Make a new .htaccess file w/just the following lines–you could actually copy/paste, provided you saved this in an ANSI format.
# Begin WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
#End WordPressSave the file, please, & then try reaching your dashboard. Please report back. Your persistence in the face of this can only be called superheroic. I admire it. So I’m in it for the long haul also, unless or until it becomes clear to both of us that such a position is untenable.
When I went to the /wp-admin address, I got a login screen in Spanish. I wouldn’t by any stretch of the imagination call my Spanish fluent (I’d be lying through my teeth if I did), but I do know enough to understand that I was in fact looking at a logon screen. So that part, at least, is working. But let’s try my suggestion of a barebones .htaccess file & see where that does or does not get us, ok?

In reply to: wp-admin files has no permissionsHi, siritinga, this is getting a bit complicated, isn’t it :)? I’m not quite sure why I haven’t asked for the site url, but evidently I did not. Too many holidays, I guess, so my brain decided to take 1, too. But I am asking for it now.
I am assuming you’ve got an SSL cert installed on your site? I would ask you to put a ; at the beginning of the lines in your wp-config.php file regarding your home & site url’s in order to comment these out. We should probably see your .htaccess file as well as any rewrite rules in place under Nginx.
You can check whether your theme is the culprit by renaming the theme folder. It *will* break the homepage, but it might be interesting to see if you can log into the site w/the teme disabled. I’m also wondering if perhaps better wp security may have put something in the .htaccess file to redirect the login page? We really should see it. Please use
to enclose it, ie,line 1 line 2 line 3This may ultimately be a problem that’s too complex to help with on this forum, ie, it may require someone perusing logs, configuration files, etc, to solve, &, if that be the case, there’s always http://jobs.wordpress.net where your friend can post a position in order to hire someone to help w/this. I’m not entirely sure we’ve reached that point yet, but we may be approaching it, depending on what your .htaccess file shows.
I personally just run Nginx & PhpFM w/o Apache, but that’s just moi.

In reply to: Do I need a MultisiteHey roh26, you know, 1 reason why they call us “web development professionals” is that many of us tend to develop websites on our local machines so we can blow things sky-high & no one’s the wiser :). So we look professional because our final product works well, but no one sees the explosions behind the scenes. I guess what I’m saying is that you may wish to consider getting a package like Xampp/Mampp/Wampp, ie, something you can install on your local box, & play w/setting up sites. This way you can learn about multisite in the comfort of your own home w/o fear of messing stuff up. 1 thing I would caution is that changing from single install to multisite can be a hassle & a half, so that also is a consideration.
Here’s a little bit of an out-of-the-box use for a plugin called WPML. You might wish to think about this as well.

In reply to: Do I need a MultisiteHi, roh26. A multisite would work. So would multiple WordPress installations. For a person new to WordPress, single installations might be a better idea unless you’re contemplating hiring someone or you’re into polar bear plunges :). What I’m saying is that multisite can be a bit difficult to wrap one’s head around, especially for newer web developers & especially for a subdomain install. Obviously single installs take up more space, so that might be a consideration. I wish I could give you a definitive anser, ie, do multi- or single site, but I think both would work & both have advantages & disadvantages.
Forum: Networking WordPress
In reply to: Do I need a MultisiteHi, roh26. Generally, a multisite is used when multiple authors are posting–think wordpress.com or similar. I don’t really think you’ll need multisite for your project,, though you might need several WordPress installations. In any event, if I can give 1 piece of advice, it would be to plan well, ie, think “measure twice, cut once.”
Good luck w/your project & happy 2018!

In reply to: Media upload error for pictures and videosHello again, bseidner. Please edit your wp-config.php file & change wp_debug from ‘false’ to ‘true’. Then try to upload a pic or a video & see if you notice any error messages. If so, please paste them to your next reply. This is a security risk, so please change it back to ‘false’ again when you’re done.
Next, please log into your hosting provider’s control panel & see if it has an aplet called ‘Errors’ or ‘Error logs’. If there are entries that correspond to the dates you’re having errors, please feel free to paste them to your next reply as well.
Also, please look in your WordPress folder & any subfolders for files called error.log or error_log. Again, if there are entries corresponding to the dates on which you’ve experienced these errors, you can paste them to your next reply.
When pasting, please enclose entries in
, ie,line 1 line 2Also, might we please see your .htaccess file?
Lastly, if all else fails, I’d be happy to arrange a staging area on my server so we can test your hypothesis that this is a hosting issue. I’ve done this for folks before, & often it proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that indeed the issue was w/the hosting provider.

In reply to: Completely deleted wordpress filesBTW, oasisinthesun, you are getting a 500 internal server error using either wp-admin or wp-login.php, so there’s definitively a problem w/the site. Happy New Year. I’m really sorry this is occurring. We’ll do everything we can to help you get this fixed.

In reply to: Completely deleted wordpress filesCan we please see your .htaccess file, oasisinthesun?

In reply to: Media upload error for pictures and videosMan, it’s sure cold where you’re at, bseidner! Brrr! I doubt that’s what’s causing your error, though :).
Weaver II is a pretty old theme & has been subverted by Weaver Xtreme. I’d like to please see you disable all plugins, choose a default theme (they begin w/the word twenty), & try to upload a pic or video to see if the error continues. You can switch everything back once you’re done w/that. If you still get errors once all that’s finished, we’ve still got lots & lots of tricks up our sleeve.

In reply to: Completely deleted wordpress filesYou’re on Cloudflare. That’s caching to the extreme. I suggest you reupload all WordPress files, complete your wp-config.php w/the database information as appropriate, & let’s see if that gets you up & running.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Media upload error for pictures and videosHello, bseidner, & welcome. Have you checked the max_post_size for that site? It should be the same as for file uploads. If it is, then please send us the precise error you’re receiving. Thanks so much for including your site url, BTW.
Another thing you can do is to use a plugin called Add from Server. This allows you to use ftp (hopefully some variant of secure FTP) to upload files & add them to the media library.

In reply to: Completely deleted wordpress filesHello, oasisinthesun, & welcome. Could you perchance give us the url of your site, please?
A WordPress website basically consists of 2 parts:
1) the WordPress files; &
2) the database, which contains your content such as posts, pages, etc.If you reinstall the WordPress files & connect it to the proper database via your wp-config.php, making certain all the pictures etc you’ve linked to have been uploaded, then everything should work. It’s hard for me to figure out how your homepage is working if the files were all deleted, to be honest, unless you’re seeing a cached version, which is why I asked you to provide your site url, as chances are quite good I will not have anything cached for your site.

In reply to: wp-admin files has no permissionsHello, again, siritinga. We all started out learning. We all still are. It’s just a mindset that makes a person a good forum volunteer, & you’ve got that.
You did not answer my question as to whether this was a recent install or whether the website had simply stopped working. That would be an important consideration, as the causes may be very different given the 2 diverse scenarios. When dealing w/permissions, there are generally 2 types to be considered. The 1st is permissions for read/write/execute, & the 2nd is file ownership. Both have to be correct on a server in order for the install to work properly.
In terms of read/write/execute permissions, generally the recommendation is 0644 for files & 0755 for directories. In terms of file ownership, the WordPress files need to be owned by the user & group associated w/the webserver. I believe in CentOS that user is called apache. Please therefore tell us who owns your WordPress files. Also, you should have some error logs. Do those contain any entries of note?
