In reply to: [Post Series Manager] Series PageHi @soquinn99,
I can’t seem to reproduce this issue on my local, so I’m going to need a bit more information. Could you provide me with more details about the theme and other plugins that you’re using?

In reply to: [Post Series Manager] Series PageI have actually not seen that before. Let me go through and see if I can replicate this!

In reply to: Why Title Attribute Field should remain filled inOh, so hold on. When you say “move the image”, you mean “add it to another page”?
Because there are two places where you can change these fields. One will be specific for the page that you are editing, which won’t be saved back onto the image (you’d do this through the dialog in my image that looked foreign to you though). The other is through the Media Library, or when you are initially adding the image to the page, and any changes there will then also be used when adding the image to other pages from then on.
However, the title attribute will never be added to the page markup by default and will always need to be add manually. This is the only time I see a blank title field, when I want to change the fields on an image I’ve just added to the page. The alt field is always filled in for me.
I don’t think Google actually uses the image title attribute for much anymore though, and it ultimately causes inconsistency issues from an accessibility standpoint too. That is, not every screen reader will announce its presence consistently, meaning that those users run a high risk of missing that information. Especially if it’s different from the alt text.

In reply to: Create a menu item with a blank labelUnless your icon has some sort of alternative label text on it to describe what it is, I would like to very strongly recommend against this.
A more appropriate solution would be to implement a way to hide the navigation label text but keeping it available as screen reader text on the link.
The reason is that you’d essentially be allowing the creation of empty links. This is fine for visitors that can see the page and see the icon, but when you can’t see and need to rely on assistive tech to tell you what something is then an empty link can be very problematic. Because now, you know nothing apart from the fact that it’s a link.
And so, by providing a way to simply hide the label from sight, you will have a link that is just an icon but that will also have a textual alternative available for screen readers.

In reply to: Why Title Attribute Field should remain filled inOkay, great. I’m using Chrome too. So then it’s not a browser related bug.
But yes, on links the title attribute is really not ideal and so that field was removed from WordPress.
But for images the field should still be available (albeit a bit more hidden under the Advanced Options) and it does indeed retain its value for me when I move the image around the page.
This is what happens in my editor:

In reply to: Pagination appears twiceHi there,
Do you know if the theme that you are using has been modified in any way? As far as I can tell, one of the pagination (the latter one, as a matter of fact) is inserted by the theme automatically when the post contains
<!--nextpage-->.But the first set of pagination is inserted through a different method and actually almost looks like it’s part of the post content somehow. But it’s a little hard to tell without knowing whether your theme has been modified, or what plugins you’re using.

In reply to: Why Title Attribute Field should remain filled inHi there,
I’m sorry to hear that this is happening for you, but unfortunately I can’t seem to reproduce this with WordPress 4.9.4, with one of the default themes activated and no plugins. As far as I’m aware, this is also not something that WordPress would do out of the box.
I would like to ask you what browser you are using when this happens. Because it’s entirely possible that this is a bug that’s specific to a certain browser and so that information is really super helpful.
Alternatively, it could be the theme or any of the plugins that you’re using on the site that may be causing this behaviour. Do you have a testing environment for the site where you can safely disable themes or plugins to try and see if that may be the issue?

In reply to: “Sender email address does not belong to the site domain”Hey jadmon,
From the looks of it, that first error about the sender email not belonging to the site domain is a Contact Form 7 feature. It’s there to tell you that your email may get flagged as spam, but I also think you can ignore it as long as you understand the repercussions. See also their FAQ: https://contactform7.com/configuration-validator-faq/#from-email-in-site-domain
As for the error in cPanel, the “No Such User Here” seems to imply to me that the [email protected] email address does not exist. So the first step would be to double check that you’ve spelled everything correctly there.
If that isn’t the issue, then perhaps this article may set you on the correct path: https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/email/bounceback-errors/fixing-no-such-user-here

In reply to: [Post Series Manager] Translation of the pluginSo, I totally missed this because I don’t think I got an email notification for it? So sorry about that.
I will look into this a bit further, because it’s entirely possible I need to update the pot file for you to properly add translations (it looks like I need to do a review of the translatable strings regardless, so thank you for this!). Expect an update on that within the next couple of days.
Also, I believe you should also be able to submit translations through https://translate.ww.wp.xz.cn/ now, which circumvents the need for translating the strings in the pot file and should make the language available for everyone.
If you’re interested in exploring the translate.ww.wp.xz.cn route, could you let me know if there are any strings missing from there?

In reply to: Javascript Calculator problemHey there,
What seems to be happening is that the script is being treated by the ol’ auto_p function. This means that all your lines of the script are being wrapped in HTML paragraph tags. Which, in turn, breaks the script.
Ideally, you’d put the script in its own file and enqueue it so that it won’t ever be an issue again. But as a quick fix, you can remove all the line breaks from the script and make sure the entire thing is on one line together with the script tags.

In reply to: Help remove the gap between post title and contentHey there,
In your style.css file there is this selector, which is for the wrapping element of the featured image:
.site-main .entry-mediaIt sets a height of 400px, which is what is causing that gap. It looks like you are also hiding the featured image. What I would do is hide the wrapping element instead:
.site-main .entry-media { display: none; }Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: I can't access my dashboard in WorpressIt’s okay, any time I spend here is voluntary. 🙂
Could you post a link to the site? I can take a look and see what I can figure out from there.

In reply to: I can't access my dashboard in WorpressHi Arnaud,
It sounds like you will need to restore the site/home urls for your site. Since you say you can’t log into the dashboard anymore, what you will need to do is go into cPanel and find the “File Manager” (https://phpmatters.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/cpanel-file-manager.jpg), or use FTP to connect to your site’s server.
Quick disclaimer: Please make sure to make a backup of the file I’m going to ask you to change first before doing anything. A mistake could break your site even further. Also, it’s okay if you’re not too comfortable doing this. If you have any developer friends, you can ask them to do it for you. Alternatively, depending on where you’re hosted, you may be able to ask your host for help with this as well.
Anyway, with the File Manager (or FTP program), you will want to navigate to your theme folder and find the
functions.phpfile. I am not entirely sure what the folder structure of your hosting is like, but usually you would go into the ‘public_html’ folder, then the ‘wp-content’ folder, then the ‘themes’ folder, and then finally the folder for the theme that you’re using.Open up the functions.php file and add the following two lines to the bottom of the file. Do note, if the file ends with
?>, you will want to make sure to place these two lines on a line above that. Also, make sure to update http://example.com to the actual domain of your website:update_option( 'siteurl', 'http://example.com' ); update_option( 'home', 'http://example.com' );Save the file and try logging into the dashboard (it may take a few refreshes before everything is back to normal). If that worked, you will want to remove those two lines you’ve just added to the functions.php file.

In reply to: Cannot update to 4.5.2Did this only recently start happening? That is to say, did previous updates “just work”? And does it also happen with plugin updates?
Also, can you use those exact details to connect to the server through an FTP program like FileZilla?
If so, then it’s entirely possible that WordPress is unable to complete this update as the “current user” the server is running as and/or the user you’re entering the credentials for. I’m not sure if that would produce a “cannot connect” error though.
To be on the safe side, you’ll want to make sure all the file and folder permissions for your site are set up properly and that the files/folders are owned by the appropriate user as well. This is something the host should be able to help you with.

In reply to: Mobile Long Loading Times – No Theme/PluginsSo, this only happens on mobile but not on desktop? Could you post a link to the page in question?
It would seem a bit strange for this to be query related, especially while you’re on TwentySixteen and disabled all plugins.
I can recommend plugins like Query Monitor or Developer to help you with debugging this issue and confirm that it truly is database related.
