In reply to: [Ad Injection] Block injection in tablesAlthough the original poster may already have figured this out, I want to leave the answer here for anyone else who may be interested in the question.
In the SETTINGS for the Ad Injection plugin, look for the following option under Other ad placement settings:
Exclude ads from <table></table> blocks: []Check the box and then click on SAVE SETTINGS.

In reply to: Extremely slow loading website AND adminIt’s hard to provide specific answers to questions like “why is my site running slow” because there are so many possible reasons. You have to learn some basic admin skills and practice being watchful.

In reply to: Navigation Menu showing, but not linking from two pages of siteUnder APPEARANCE select THEMES. Then find Twenty Twelve (the standard one, not the modified one). If you cannot tell the difference then you may just want to pick a whole new theme and do everything yourself, forgetting what has been done in the past.

In reply to: SQL Queries Are Not Changing Subdomain to DomainAnd there is no warranty or support provided for that script. Inexperienced users should not be directed toward such tools.

In reply to: SQL Queries Are Not Changing Subdomain to DomainWhat you should have done was install WordPress in the root domain, export the WordPress data (using a plugin like WordPress Importer), and then upload the images (in the UPLOADS directory) to the new WordPress, then run the import.
What you also could have done was export the SQL data (via myPHPadmin or whatever SQL dashboard you use) and then import it to a new table for the root domain. But you might still have pathing issues (which is why I use the plugin to export/export WordPress sites).
Now you have gummed up the works. If you have a backup of your SQL database you should restore that and start over.
Most likely the extra code is coming from the Word document. You should switch to TEXT view after pasting the Word content into WordPress. You’ll see the extra code there.

In reply to: New images not loading onto Word PressEither the 2014 directory does not exist or the permissions on that directory are different from the permissions on the other subdirectories in your UPLOADS folder.

In reply to: About CategoriesWordPress by default allows you to assign categories to other categories as children. Just go to the POSTS/CATEGORIES dashboard.

In reply to: Extremely slow loading website AND adminYour coming soon page is being loaded by a WordPress plugin, it seems, and it loads very quickly for me.
Things that can slow down a WordPress installation include:
- Loading a lot of images on a page
- Unmoderated rogue crawler traffic
- Anything that triggers a massive database query
- Unoptimized or damaged SQL tables
Since yours is a new installation you might have an issue with rogue crawlers hammering your servers. You can try to block them on your site but that won’t do much for other people’s sites.
Dreamhost is one of the Web hosting providers whose servers I have to block in my firewalls. They are by no means the worst but many WordPress installations have been compromised by botnets.
You should look at your raw server log files to see if there are a lot of requests coming in for your “wp-login.php” script. If so you’ll want to defend it against those requests (normal visitors don’t need to log into a Website that is not inviting the to).
Another possibility (although I cannot confirm this) is that there is a conflict between the HOTFIX plugin and WordPress. That plugin has not been updated in quite a while and WordPress now installs its own security updates.

In reply to: Images keep going missingIt sounds like you moved your Website to a new hosting account. If that is the case, try using the ADD FROM SERVER plugin to rebuild your media library. You may have to change some image links in your posts if the FTP directory is different from the old hosting account.
If you did NOT move to a new hosting account, can you please explain what you have changed recently? Anything may be significant.

In reply to: Navigation Menu showing, but not linking from two pages of siteI would switch to the Twenty Twelve theme and try using that to set up the menu. Get the site working. Then you will have time to go back through the child theme files and see what they are actually doing.

In reply to: Security and hack attemptsThe plugin does suggest a new name for the login URL but you should change it. The file itself stays in place but WordPress (because of the plugin) intercepts all those attempts to get to it.

In reply to: Split user posts to multiple user accountsHaving 15,000 posts may slow the site down whenever someone triggers a search of the database. You can’t do anything about that except to make sure the tables are optimized (you do that with a plugin). I run optimizer tools on databases about once a month for active blogs.
It makes no difference how many users the posts are allocated across.
It sounds like you created the username you wanted but when you imported the data you did not assign the old posts to that user account; instead, the import created a new user account.
You could always delete the database, recreate it, and then run the conversion again.

In reply to: My Paragraphs Keep Collapsing My Text Back TogetherIn TEXT mode you must actually embed an empty line between paragraphs (although you could also wrap them in P tags).
