In reply to: Permalink & author changes on saveHi,
I haven’t seen that happen before. What I’d try to do find out what’s causing it is temporarily deactivate all plugins and see if it stops doing that. If so, start enabling them one by one until it starts happening again.

In reply to: Can Only Edit Certain Pages (and don't know FTP Password)Hi Alisa,
You’d have to contact the web hosting company about getting the FTP password. As far as the blank page only showing up on some pages, I’d try temporarily deactivating all the plugins and activating the default Twenty Fifteen theme to see if it fixes things. If so, you can start enabling this again one by one until you figure out which one is causing it to break.

In reply to: How to set marginsMaybe this if that doesn’t work.
.single-post .entry-container { max-width: 700px; margin: 0 auto; }Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to set marginsHi,
If I understand you correctly, this is the CSS you’ll need:

In reply to: Guests can import pdf documentsHi,
At the bottom of that plugin page, there’s a link to a guide to set it up. It’s easy to miss. http://technologiestoday.com.au/guide-to-use-tt-guest-post-submit-plugin-for-wordpress/
That should help.

In reply to: Disable Theme's lightboxHi Miqser,
That’s going to largely depend on your theme. Which one are you using? Have you asked the theme developer if they can provide some direction with that?

In reply to: Piwik does anybody have any experience with using this?I have 5 sites on one Piwik install and I haven’t noticed any performance issues. They’re not very busy sites though, and I run them on another server. When I initially started using it, I was running both Piwik and GA so I could compare the stats, and not lose anything if I decided to ditch Piwik. So far so good with Piwik.

In reply to: Remove Page Title in Twenty ThirteenThat code doesn’t look quite right, but it looks like you figured it out now. Congrats!
For future reference, here’s more info about child themes. https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Child_Themes

In reply to: Remove Page Title in Twenty ThirteenThe page title is loaded in content.php. Are you editing the core theme files or doing it in a child theme? You should be doing child themes so you don’t lose your customizations when installing updates in the future.

In reply to: How to add something to the backend vertical menuHi,
The message I received in email is entirely different than what you have here (it was something about Facebook comments), so I’m guessing you edited it after posting it.
Creating a new ‘post-new.php’ page with all the elements that are included there is a pretty big project if you’re unfamiliar with the basics of getting a page there to begin with. Unfortunately I don’t have a guide to link you to for doing that.
If you read the docs I linked you to previously and look at the existing post-new.php as an example to work from, that’ll be a good way to start.

In reply to: Searching with multiple categories using checkboxesHi,
You might want to use the Query Multiple Taxonomies plugin, or one of the recommended ones on that page. https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/query-multiple-taxonomies/

In reply to: Hi i want to exclude a categoryHi,
You can add
&cat=-10to yourget_postsline, like this:$posts = get_posts('post_type=post&orderby=rand&numberposts=1&cat=-10');10in this case is the category ID. The negative sign means exclude.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Passing credentials to WordPressOh I missed that part. So your main site isn’t WordPress? If not, passing credentials securely by integrating with another authentication system can be quite involved.
What kind of authentication system is on the main site?
