In reply to: style.css version issuesThis sounds probably like a browser caching issue, can you try in a different browser, or try in an incognito window?

In reply to: Can no longer log into wordpressTry manually resetting your plugins (no Dashboard access required). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.
If that does not resolve the issue, access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, navigate to
/wp-content/themes/and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Homepage imageI’m happy to help!
The emailed instructions you received earlier references using the WordPress “Customizer” tool to update the header image. You can access this tool by clicking on “Appearance” and then “Customize” from the left-side navigation of your WordPress backend area.
From this screen, you will see a section called “Header Image.” Click on this, and choose a new image, or upload a new one, and be sure to click the blue “Publish” button at the top of the screen to save changes.

In reply to: Cannot access my WP dashboardThe best way to update your user password would be at the database level, if your login and email/forgot password are not working.
Assuming you’re using cpanel/phpmyadmin:
- Access phpmyadmin
- Click on the table
wp_users - Edit the row with your WordPress account username
- In the
user_passfield, change the Function to MD5 and enter your new password in the Value section - Click the “Go” button
Now, return to your login screen and try logging in with your username and new password.

In reply to: Problem with opening a LinkedIn tabI searched the plugin’s support forum topics and found this, which may be a similar issue you’re experiencing:

I recommend asking at https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/plugin/ultimate-member so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.

In reply to: Widget CapabilitiesYou can set site-wide access permissions for each type of user with theme functions, but by default, only users with administrator-level access can access widgets.
This plugin seems to offer the functionality you’re looking for — settings to control which users can access specific widgets and sidebars, which sidebars and widgets will be available for specific users and which widget options will be available and how they are displayed, per user:

In reply to: HTTPS when using “WordPress on Linux” Azure Web appIf you host a WordPress site on Azure Web App on Linux running Apache, here are the steps to implement an HTTP to HTTPS redirect:
1. Add RewriteRule in .htaccess in WordPress application root:
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-ARR-SSL} ^$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]2. Once this RewriteRule is added, you may see your /wp-admin page displaying like this, which is caused by loading mixed content from http and https:
3. Next, add the following code in your
wp-config.phpfile:define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true); if ( isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_ARR_SSL']) ) $_SERVER['HTTPS']='on';Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Hyperlink to the pagesI see that, but as you can see from the video I posted above, when I install this theme to a fresh install of WordPress, the post titles listed on category pages (using the archive.php template) link to post permalinks just like you’re looking for.
This means someone has customized your theme for your site, which has changed the default functionality of your theme.
Without having access to your customized theme template files, I’m unable to provide specific code that would update the post link functionality.

In reply to: Sharing site in linkein PostTry adding a featured image to the pages you’re sharing on LinkedIn or in messages.
If that doesn’t work, your theme may not be setting OG tags properly (you didn’t share a link to your site so I couldn’t check).
Consider using Yoast SEO and enabling this:

In reply to: Hyperlink to the pagesTake a look at your archive.php file and see how the “Read more” links are being created. I would assume it’s using something like
post_permalink— once you find it, add the same tags around the post titles that are being used to create the “Read more” links on the same page.Again, I would discourage you from making edits to the live site, though.
Unfortunately, I don’t know how your theme has been customized from the original, which displays these links as you want, so I can’t give specific code to revise this page.

In reply to: Gifs working on one Theme but not the otherYou’re right, .gif images should work perfectly fine with WordPress.
I created a new test install of WordPress to confirm, and like your second site, gif images were loading there and displaying as expected. To confirm, as long as you use the “full” size settings, GIF images should load and display fine.
I then opened up your /webdev/ page, and inserted the same gif image toward the bottom of the page, which seemed to load successfully. So, this suggests that there’s something happening to your GIF images as part of adding it to your site’s media library. Or perhaps, the result of something your theme is doing to the images before generating the page.
Is your WordPress site using any image compression or optimization plugins? Have you tested with a GIF image URL, say, from GIPHY, to confirm it’s not a server/theme/plugin incompatibility with GIF images?
Here’s a screenshare video of this walkthrough and review:

In reply to: Hyperlink to the pagesHave you already made changes to the parent theme’s archive.php or functions.php files? Your site (specifically, the post archive pages using the archive.php page template) is not behaving the same way my test install is, using the same theme.
Because you’re not using a custom theme, I only suggested you create a child theme so you’re able to update it when your theme author releases new versions. If you’ve already made a variety of changes and customizations to the theme, you already cannot update without losing those changes.

In reply to: I broke my site, HTTP ERROR 500I would just access your EC2 server via SFTP and rename the /wp-content/plugins folder and the .htaccess file.
To do this, I would use Filezilla:
- Edit (Preferences) > Settings > Connection > SFTP, Click “Add key file”
- Browse to the location of your .pem file and select it.
- A message box will appear asking your permission to convert the file into ppk format. Click Yes, then give the file a name and store it somewhere.
- If the new file is shown in the list of Keyfiles, then continue to the next step. If not, then click “Add keyfile…” and select the converted file.
- File > Site Manager > Add a new site with the following parameters:
Host: Your public dns name of ec2 instance, or the public ip address of the server
Protocol: SFTP
Logon Type: Normal
User: From the docs: “For Amazon Linux, the default user name is ec2-user. For RHEL5, the user name is often root but might be ec2-user. For Ubuntu, the user name is ubuntu. For SUSE Linux, the user name is root. For Debian, the user name is admin. Otherwise, check with your AMI provider.”
Then, press the connect button – If saving of passwords has been disabled, you will be prompted that the logon type will be changed to ‘Ask for password’. Say ‘OK’ and when connecting, at the password prompt push ‘OK’ without entering a password to proceed past the dialog.
Note: FileZilla automatically figures out which key to use. You do not need to specify the key after importing it as described above.
