In reply to: lost my passwd – what can i do nowYup ! You should be .. just make sure the db prefix is wp_ and not something else. Just look at the posts / users / meta tables and see what they begin with. If its wp_ then you should be fine.
Otherwise simply replace wp_ with whatever you see there. Don’t forget my tip about backups

In reply to: lost my passwd – what can i do nowIts possible that you made a typo/error in specifying the email address or the reset password link hits your spam folder.
That said you can take a back up and manually reset the password from your DB using the technique shown below

In reply to: Redirect wordpress.com site to self-hosted siteIts not possible for you to install plugins on sites hosted with WordPress.com, so at this point your best bet is to use the redirect feature they provide or export the data and move it to a self hosted site
https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/
It may work out to be cheaper in the long run
Are you able to connect with out SSL/TLS enabled ( the plain http version ? ) Also can you check your error logs and post the exact text message here ?
Also consider some possible causes here

In reply to: HTTP ERROR 500 on a subfolder from other platform (script)Can you get for me the exact error text behind the 500 Internal Server Error ? It can be found in your server logs ( separate from WP ) . Ideally it should be in a logs folder on your web hosting account. You may need to contact your host at times if this is not available

In reply to: Finding dofollow links on siteA not so automated but effective approach is to simply us an extention like this
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/dofollow?hl=en&_category=extensions
Scan the page and any link not highlighted would be either null or do follow. Not sure if it’ll suit your purposes here though

In reply to: I changed my login URL and lost it. Now can’t access admin.How exactly did you change the url ? If its with a plugin then try the following. Try 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 code causing this (theme functions can interfere like plugins).Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: HTTP Error on uploading certain JPG filesIts possible the size of the files that failed are larger than the media uploader / PHP limit and paint saves a smaller version which uploads fine. Can you check if this is the case please ?

In reply to: Site crashesUse this plugin for the MySQL bit
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Site crashesCan you turn on WP_DEBUG and post the exact error messages you see here ?
https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Debugging_in_WordPressNext install this plugin and let us know if you find anything out of the ordinary
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/p3-profiler/Finally check if any MySQL query is holding things up or taking an unusually long amount of time to execute.
If all this points to a memory bottleneck, increase the memory available to PHP + WP as shown here

In reply to: replace words in my posts and saved new wordsThis is because the text is replaced on the fly at the point the_content filter is called.
For permanent replacement you’d want to try a tool like this that does a DB wide search and replace.

Don’t forget to take backups, before and after

In reply to: Fail to access Add Plugin page and other connection erros1. should I install to 4.6.1 to correct this issue?
2. Is this something to do with my hosting company? What information should I provide them with for them to look into my problem or fix the problem?1 ) You should always keep your self updated to the latest version of WP. Im not sure if thats whats causing this specific issue
2 ) It could be a temporary spike in your web servers traffic ( esp if its shared hosting ) or you host may have throttled / rate limited out going requests and a less likely possiblilty is that there was a traffic spike here on WP.org during the time
I’d advise simply update, give it some time and try again. If that does not work. turn on WP_DEBUG and post the exact error messages you see here ?
