Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to have "next page" show before likes and tags?My only idea is that perhaps your theme is determining where and in which order those links and sharing buttons are displayed. You may need to edit your theme in order to alter the way they are displayed.
There are also ways to do that using CSS, but that would be more of a “workaround” rather than the “correct” way of doing it.
If both of those are undesirable, there may be plugins that can do what you want. After doing a quick search, this one looks promising but I doubt it can influence the social sharing buttons.
If you want to take a shot at styling your “next page” links, check out this page for some helpful information.
So you are locked out of your admin area?
Do you have FTP access to your site?

In reply to: Widgets disappearingIf there were 2 lockouts, that definitely sounds suspicious. Have you changed your password and checked to see if any “rogue” users have been created?
If the site wasn’t hacked, then I would check with Genesis theme support. I’ve never used Genesis myself but I’m guessing that it does quite a bit with determining how the widgets are displayed and so on. Maybe there was a Genesis update that triggered it? Just a thought.
Hope this helps some.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Looking for the best plugin to use to limit wp-admin accessI’m currently using Role Scoper along with “Access” (it costs $39) to accomplish something similar.
I don’t know of a free plugin that replaces Role Scoper.
Awesome, glad to hear it.
Forum: Localhost Installs
In reply to: Making pages appear in menu horizontal on localhost installI don’t think I completely understand your question, but try referencing this page for some detailed information and instruction about menus:
Also, here is the full and official explanation article that may help you as well.
I may be able to help.
If you want your “front page” (or home page, or landing page… the page people see when they first arrive at your site) to be recent blog posts, leave that option set to “Latest Posts” as you mentioned in your post.
It sounds like what you want is a menu item that points back to your home page. To do that:
- Navigate to your site’s dashboard and log in.
- On the left side of the screen, hover over the “Appearance” menu item and select “Menus” from the list that pops up.
- Here you can create a menu or edit menus that already exist (I suspect there may be no menu here, so you will need to click the “create a new menu” button at the top of the page.
- Type the name of the menu and click “Create Menu”
- Now you want to add the link to your home page. I usually do this by clicking on the “Links” dropdown menu on the left of the screen.
- In the “URL” box, just put a single forward slash (like this “/”). That will point to your home page.
- Then give it a name like “Blog” or “Home” or whatever you want and click “Add to Menu”.
- You will probably want to add some other menu items as well.
Now you need to make sure that your new menu is being used in your theme. To do that:
- Navigate to the “Customize” menu item under “Appearance” (it should be listed on the left side of the screen if you are still looking at the “Edit menus” section).
- You should be looking at your home page with a bunch of white menu items on the left. Click “Navigation” on the left.
- Use the drop down menus “Top” or “secondary/left” and select your menu from the list.
- Click the blue “Save” button on the top of that menu area.
That should be it! Let me know if you run into any snags.
