Thanks for the quick work in resolving this conflict. I love this plugin.
Beyond my capabilities I’m afraid. Can I hire you? This client handed me a mess and would be willing to pay. The site is staged right now. Eventually I will update the theme to DIVI. So if you can give an estimate I’ll let you know. Can’t go live like it is. Jim

In reply to: [Sticky Menu & Sticky Header] cross browser rendering issuesMark,
Can you provide some css that would allow me to control the spacing offset for mobile devices? Maybe create a new class name for the @media devices. On phone and tablet the offset has teh sticky menu in the middle of the viewport.
If we correct for that first I can then test for cross-browser rendering issues.
Thanks!
Jim

In reply to: 404 error on a few pages after moving from subdirectory to rootFIXED:
I archived the old extraneous files form the previous HTML site in an old_site folder, thinking there might be a conflict.
I deleted the .htaccess and index.html file from the root directory.
I started over with the instructions in the WP Codex, careful to do them in the exact order indicated.Everything loaded correctly. Site looks great.

In reply to: pageok error instead of visual page display after migration to rootNot sure why, but I changed the slug and then saved with the same title and the page content and the child page content came up. Must have lost a pathway somewhere in the migration.

In reply to: Tried editing my URL and now my site can't be loaded!@krishna SOrry will do in the future.
Database changes – excellent suggestion. I have not tried. I forgot, yet I knew about it. Having said that, I did it a different way.
The WP install was a hosted install by Go Daddy in a /dev sub-folder. I changed the settings of the site and WP location urls in General/Settings to the root by mistake, losing access to dev/wp-admin.
Go Daddy offers a WP management page from the hosting control center, where I was offered the preferred location of the root as an ideal place to host WP. I clicked the choice and the server automatically moved all the files from the sub-folder to the root folder, updated the .htaccess files, the database and the urls.
I was then able to login using /wp-admin and restore my ability to access the now live site.
Rare that I praise GD.
Hope this helps someone else.

In reply to: Network Solution/WordPress Domain Help PleaseWhat happened to your content? Did you have to start over?

In reply to: Tried editing my URL and now my site can't be loaded!I have the same problem. Since we changed the url, the server is not looking for the WP files in the right location. @krishna, this CODEX is correct for what should have been done. @storti did it out of order and now cannot get to /wp-admin page.
I did it right and then was tweaking a file name on the home page changed the WordPress URL and also cannot get to the wp-admin page. How do you change it form outside the admin?
Can you physically move the files from the sub-directory to the root directory so that the server sees /wp-admin or will that screw up the URLs in the database?

In reply to: Tried editing my URL and now my site can't be loaded!Hi Steve.
I did the same thing in a different order. I changed both URL’s accidentally. There is a way to do what you wanted to do. It’s called Giving WP it’s own directory using a sub-directory install. See this link.
<a href="http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory#Using_a_pre-existing_subdirectory_install">You will need knowledge of FTP or text editing for code. Sounds like you could skip steps 1-3. Go on to 4 and 5. Essentially, you need to tell the server in the main URL that you changed to, where to look for your WP files.
I’m know expert, but I think this is part of your issue.

In reply to: New WordPress Site, how to use existing domain@Strait
The key is to do nothing! 🙂 I mean do not move any files or rename directories. It just doesn’t work like html pages. I keep coming across .htaccess as a means to accomplish many solutions. I’m going to have learn more. Anyway, the link I posted is straight forward enough.
Glad to have helped in my small way. It’s a big application!J
