I didn’t seem to need the filter with the checkbox on. * Perhaps this should be a default for that type of email? * Also that video cracked me up, thanks for being awesome. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Child Page Showing Homepage Content](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-page-showing-homepage-content/) * [Doug Cone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nullvariable/) * (@nullvariable) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-page-showing-homepage-content/#post-4065010) * Are you using a call to a specific post id in the theme? * If you could share the code for the loop that you’re using, that’d be helpful. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Change "Events" menu item to "Calendar"](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-events-menu-item-to-calendar/) * [Doug Cone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nullvariable/) * (@nullvariable) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-events-menu-item-to-calendar/#post-4065396) * You probably need to change a setting in the Events calendar plugin to use a different menu title. when I go to /events on your site I see the events page, so it’s still there, your menu item is just not pointed to the correct location. If you need further help, consider posting your problem to the plugin’s help forum here: [http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/the-events-calendar](http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/the-events-calendar) as the developer will be able to see it more easily and may be able to help you much more quickly. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Is there a theme for videos?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-there-a-theme-for-videos/) * [Doug Cone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nullvariable/) * (@nullvariable) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-there-a-theme-for-videos/#post-4065002) * well from that image I was able to see that the theme is built by a company called templatic. So I went to their website and found that you can get the theme from your screenshot for download at this link: templatic .com/freethemes/video * Perhaps that will solve this issue for you? If not you may want to look into hiring someone to design a custom theme for you, or you may wish to learn more about how to build and design your own custom WordPress theme. Here’s a great link that will help you get started with that: [http://wordpress.tv/2013/04/12/mel-choyce-design-basics-for-non-designers/](http://wordpress.tv/2013/04/12/mel-choyce-design-basics-for-non-designers/) and also this page: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development](http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development) * I hope that this helps to resolve your questions * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Nothing updates on site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nothing-updates-on-site/) * [Doug Cone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nullvariable/) * (@nullvariable) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nothing-updates-on-site/#post-4064531) * can you share the link for your site? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Question about post summaries on front page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/question-about-post-summaries-on-front-page/) * [Doug Cone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nullvariable/) * (@nullvariable) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/question-about-post-summaries-on-front-page/#post-4063996) * another thing I didn’t think of was that you could just use the excerpt field instead of the `` tag. That will allow you to custom craft (or copy paste) the excerpt text so that it does not contain your ToC and display as you described. * If you wanted to still go the shortcode route, you’d need to make the shortcode conditional. * ``` // Hide text function hide_text_shortcode( $atts, $content = null ) { global $post; if (is_single($post) { return $content; } else { return; } } add_shortcode( 'hide_text', 'hide_text_shortcode' ); ``` * that asks wordpress if the page/post is the only one being shown, if it is, then it displays the text inside the shortcode, if it’s not single (archive pages, list pages, tag pages, etc) then it returns nothing, which *should* mean that the ToC is only visible on the single post/page views of the site. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [GP Library – Install???](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gp-library-install/) * [Doug Cone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nullvariable/) * (@nullvariable) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gp-library-install/#post-4064528) * It looks like you have the GD library working correctly. * I’m a bit unfamiliar with Windows servers, but the next most probable issue with creating the thumbnails is that the theme is unable to create the thumbnail files. This usually occurs because of permissions issues with the various WordPress folders. * Maybe there is some useful information here? [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/windows-iis-permissions?replies=5](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/windows-iis-permissions?replies=5) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Unable to login on WP – Bad request](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-login-on-wp-bad-request/) * [Doug Cone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nullvariable/) * (@nullvariable) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-login-on-wp-bad-request/#post-4064921) * As Tara mentions, this is most likely a security issue with your hosting provider. If they’re hard to contact, try using a different network to access the site and see if that works. If it does, then your IP address is being blocked by them. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Forgot password e-mail not directing anywhere](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forgot-password-e-mail-not-directing-anywhere/) * [Doug Cone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nullvariable/) * (@nullvariable) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forgot-password-e-mail-not-directing-anywhere/#post-4064493) * I’m not sure I understand your question. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Remove RSS Subscribe](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-rss-subscribe/) * [Doug Cone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nullvariable/) * (@nullvariable) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-rss-subscribe/#post-4064492) * You **should not** remove the rss file from the WordPress install, it will only get replaced by the next upgrade and it could cause unforeseen issues with other themes, plugins or code. * You should remove the offending code via WordPress functions, using a plugin like I linked to, and/or by editing your theme files (highly recommended that you use a child theme if your theme offers updates, more info here: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) * If you make changes to core WordPress files, you will have to maintain those changes when the next version of WordPress becomes available, or you will put off upgrading WordPress because you don’t want to lose your changes. Not upgrading WordPress is the number one reason that WordPress sites get hacked. Using a plugin to override the normal functionality will ensure that even when updates happen to WordPress, your desired modification will stay intact. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Forgot password e-mail not directing anywhere](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forgot-password-e-mail-not-directing-anywhere/) * [Doug Cone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nullvariable/) * (@nullvariable) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forgot-password-e-mail-not-directing-anywhere/#post-4064487) * I would not know. You should probably try the plugin support page, since it’s a plugin specific issue: [http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/theme-my-login](http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/theme-my-login) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [GP Library – Install???](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gp-library-install/) * [Doug Cone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nullvariable/) * (@nullvariable) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gp-library-install/#post-4064484) * create a file in the root directory of the webserver, call it anything, I usually call it “phpinfo.php” then use a text editor to open the file and add the code mentioned above. then access the file in you browser like: [http://my.website.com/phpinfo.php](http://my.website.com/phpinfo.php) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Forgot password e-mail not directing anywhere](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forgot-password-e-mail-not-directing-anywhere/) * [Doug Cone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nullvariable/) * (@nullvariable) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forgot-password-e-mail-not-directing-anywhere/#post-4064479) * If you disable Theme My Login, does the issue still occur? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Unable to login on WP – Bad request](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-login-on-wp-bad-request/) * [Doug Cone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nullvariable/) * (@nullvariable) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-login-on-wp-bad-request/#post-4064914) * I was able to access the login page for your site at [http://www.artisticmoods.com/wp-login.php](http://www.artisticmoods.com/wp-login.php) just fine and received the expected error message when I entered fake login information. I believe you may have an issue with your Cookies or Cache. It’s also possible that you have a security plugin that is disabling access. Some security plugins will block your IP address if you enter the wrong password more than a certain number of times. Try using a Chrome Incognito window and see if you can login that way. If that doesn’t work, access your site and rename the plugins folder to something else (plugins-disabled or something like that) This will disable all of your plugins, then test to see if you can login. If you can login, then great and you know that one of the plugins was at fault. You will need to rename your plugins directory back to “plugins” to be able to re-enable your plugins in the WordPress administration screen. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Is there a theme for videos?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-there-a-theme-for-videos/) * [Doug Cone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nullvariable/) * (@nullvariable) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-there-a-theme-for-videos/#post-4064912) * Here’s a link to a theme that does youtube videos: [http://wordpress.org/themes/webvideo](http://wordpress.org/themes/webvideo) * You can also search all of the themes in the WordPress theme repository here: [http://wordpress.org/themes/search.php?q=video](http://wordpress.org/themes/search.php?q=video) * Any WordPress theme that you use will typically support pasting youtube links and embedding the video in the site. There are also a number of plugins that extend WordPress to do a lot of different things with YouTube videos.
