Dear bcworkz
Thank you for your reassuring words. <i worked for the employment agency Brooke Street Bureau for a while, and they drilled in to us the idea of Do It Now. It has stuck too well in me – sigh.Your suggestion is brilliant! I change to TwentyTwenty an the def. lists are there. I have taken screen shots of the page with the two different themes, and shall see if the theme providers advise.
Thank you again for your help and support
very cordially
sallymandarThank you for your reply.
It has taken me a while to organise a preview (front end output?) that is independent of that shown with the editor.
Of course, as is the way of life, now the definition list code is not working anywhere, not WP editor preview, Elementor preview, nor on the published page. The code is there, I’ve checked, but it is not showing.
I am using Themeisle Neve theme. Is it possible that definition lists do not work with it? If you are unsure, I shall ask them.
I hope I can reply to you more promptly next time.
Thanking you again for your help,
cordially

In reply to: Can’t reach dashboard after messing up URLl in General SettingsHello Ian

Thanks again
SalamandarThanks for you rapid reply.
I will do as tou say.As a WP beginner, I am making LOTS of mistakes, ‘m just glad there are people out there willing and able to help.
Thank you all for your help.
Eventually, I cornered a techie who could remotely view my computer.Firstly, there was a problem with the mysql database creation (not sure what), so the database was recreated.
Secondly, the encoding type advised, utf8mb4_general_ci, at https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/article/how-to-install-wordpress/, produced many error messages rather than enabling the installation.
With the encoding changed to utf8, the installation finished quickly and without further problems.
I shall close this thread.To Dion Designs
Sorry for silence, covid19 etc is disturbing life.
First, I have uninstalled and then reinstalled wordpress, and the database and daabase user, to make sure the installs are ‘clean’.I included the line you suggested, define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost:3308’); , with the result on running wp-config.php:
The file wp-config.php already exists. If you need to reset any of the configuration items in this file, please delete it first. You may try installing now.
The words ‘install now’ has a link on it. On clicking on that link, I am returned to the error page I had before.
My version of phpMyAdmin has User Accounts rather tha Users.
Here is the relevant line:
sal_wordpress localhost password: Yes ALL PRIVILEGES Yes Edit privileges ExportThank you for your help, I look for ward to seeing your advice.
Stay safe.Dear Joy
Thank you for answering me.
I have checked in WAMP that the MySQL server is running – it is.
I have checked the database in myPHPadmin and, as far as I can see (not fluent in these areas) that is OK.
From wpconfig.php,// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define( ‘DB_NAME’, ‘sal_wordpress’ );/** MySQL database username */
define( ‘DB_USER’, ‘sally_wordpress’ );/** MySQL database password */
define( ‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xyz123abc’ );/** 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’, ” );However, I have some confusion. At the head of the myPHPadmin page, it shows Server: MySQL:3308 »Database: sal_wordpress, while in ” Users having access to “sal_wordpress”
is showing
User name Host name
sally_wordpress localhostI look forward to your advice, and again thank you for your help.
