In reply to: Paypal's Option to "Authorize" Transactions breaks WoocommerceFixed it. It is an added feature that Woocommerce sectioned off in a premium plugin. It’s called Paypal Express.

In reply to: [Plugin: Woocommerce] How to Delete Custom FeesHere’s the refactor. It simply takes the name of the fee you want to delete as the argument, and removes it from the Woocommerce session. Drop it into your functions.php, and then call it whenever you want to delete a fee.
It’d probably be best employed in an action hook, though.
function delete_fee ($fee_name) { $fees = WC()->cart->get_fees; $newfees = array(); foreach ($fees as $fee) { if ($fee->name == $fee_name) {} //Don't add Shipping Insurance else {$newfees[] = $fee;} } WC()->session->set('fees',$newfees); }Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: adding files to root directoryThe only issue I can think of it causing is that your theme could break if you need to move it to another installation. It’s possible that you could forget that files critical to the operation of your site are in the root directory. If you move your theme to another installation, it’s better to have those files inside the theme directory.

In reply to: Nothing is wrong, but urls in my content are being rewrittenOne other thing that needs to be mentioned–WordPress HTTPS has an option under it’s settings labeled, “SSL Host”, into which you put the domain name that you have your SSL certificate tied to. Not surprisingly, I still had my old domain name in that field. Because of that, the plugin kept trying to apply SSL form a certificate that didn’t exist anymore. Needless to say, this caused a number of problems.
Man, this has really been an onion of a problem–stinky and multi-layered.

In reply to: Nothing is wrong, but urls in my content are being rewrittenI fixed how the problem of the domain name being rewritten, but I still don’t understand it. My hosting provider is Bluehost, and I had a permanent redirect set up to redirect my old domain name to my current one. Once I deleted that, those hyperlinks stopped being rewritten each time the page loaded.
I don’t understand anything about why that was happening, but maybe someday…
I discovered that this error message is found in wp-login.php in the root directory of wordpress. Apparently, it shows up when you are being showed as having been logged out (for whatever reason).
I am still trying to work my way through the whys of how the user gets logged out, but I haven’t had any luck so far.
It keeps giving me the following notice:
Session expired. Please log in again. You will not move away from this page.
Ok, my site is still doing the annoying you-have-to-login-every-fifteen-seconds thing. What on earth is causing this?
Well, the problem turned out to be a plugin.
Admin Menu Editor was causing me issues for some reason.
Doesn’t surprise me, exactly, since I’m also running Imember360,
and a bunch of other plugins that make their own subtle changes to the admin panel.Still, good to know what the cause of the problem was.

In reply to: Nothing is wrong, but urls in my content are being rewrittenOk, new developments. No, I haven’t figured out why WordPress is swapping one URL out for another yet. I still suspect it has something to do with the database, but my searches haven’t proven very fruitful thus far.
What I HAVE figured out is how to make my pages appear. Evidently, there has been a major issue at my hosting provider concerning SSL certificates. See, I swapped domain names, and didn’t have an SSL certificate that covered subdomains. Because there isn’t any option to upgrade or transfer SSL certificates, I wound up deleting one certificate, and purchasing a different one for my new domain. That, apparently, has caused mass confusion on bluehost’s end, and they have instructed me to contact their Senior technicians who have actually programmed their system to get an answer.
While that gets handled, I don’t have SSL on my site. Which isn’t a happy situation. But it explains why so many of my pages are now white screens of death. See, the culprit in this case is WordPress HTTPS, which has an option to force SSL on a page that I use all over the place. This is what is causing the pages to disappear.
Now if only I understood the thing where the domain names were getting rewritten.

In reply to: Global change of all GUIDs in database – Good Idea?So, having realized that I didn’t put as much research into this topic as I could. I decided to take a look at the codex for possible documentation addressing my issue. Sure enough, I found the following article which explains the purpose of GUIDs, why they should never be changed, and why they really wouldn’t address the issues I have been dealing with.
http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Changing_The_Site_URL#Important_GUID_Note
Basically, GUIDs exist as a unique identifier of your post to the rest of the world. They aren’t supposed to change, and if they do, the world treats your post as a totally new post. While i’m fuzzy on the details, it seems that this can cause issues with RSS Feeds. I don’t know if it breaks existing inbound links to that post.
Either way, it’s a good idea to search the codex before asking a question, the answer might be waiting for you.
