In reply to: [Mantra] Content Slider for Recent Posts Doesn't Work/Crappy Supporthad the same problem but a quick google search sorted me out – you just need to set a featured image for your post and it uses that.

Hi I’m using your awesomely customisable mantra theme. However I was wondering if there was a way of changing the colour of the links in the sidebar (so it’s different to links that appear in the content)
I noticed there’s an option for this in the footer in the Mantra settings but not the sidebar, unless I’ve just overlooked it?

In reply to: wp_options table disappearedHey I got it happening tho he’s going to have to start his website again from scratch but at least it’s up.
Thanks heaps esmiForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: wp_options table disappearedNo worries. I guess the easiest way to do it is through the MySQL Database Wizard in the CPanel?
And just to do a final clarify on the process:
1. Create new db (but assign original user)
2. Edit wp-config.php to reflect this change.
3. run Softaculous and install a copy of WordPress into the folder it was already.
4. Login to WP and re-do website from scratch
5. Curse myself for not doing a back up!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: wp_options table disappearedThanks esmi, I’ll have to do a bit of research about creating a new db (tho I think I know how – in the Cpanel yes?) and then editing the wp-config.php (I have had to edit it before at least, just in a very minor capacity so I should be able to work it out.)
Actually, I’ve just had a squiz at the config file. Do I just need to change the first few lines where it (xxxxx being the database and passwords)to the name and password of the new database I create? ie:
// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘xxxxxxxxxxxx’);/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘xxxxxxxxxx’);/** MySQL database password */
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxxxxxxx’);/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: wp_options table disappearedThanks muchly. If there is no db back up, can I just do a re-install of WP into the folder it is now – wiping the intall that’s there already. Or do I need to uninstall WP first then re-do it?
Sorry if these are basic questions, I’m not a massive WP head myself, just really know how to put one up and make it look a bit pretty.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: wp_options table disappearedI doubt it, as the guy is very technically unminded. He’s an artist who needed a site to promote his work so I just organised him a domain name and put an installation of wp on there and showed him how to put up pictures etc. That was sometime ago and I haven’t looked at it since the initial set up.
