Hi Experts,

I'm working in a Cherry Wordpress template with a slider on the homepage. I resized the images in Photoshop, deleted the old images in Wordpress media and reloaded the new ones into media area. Then I changed the dimensions in the theme-init.php file and saved.

Then I created new sliders with the newly sized images from media. The images/slider is still not showing up as I've changed the dimensions. I've refreshed the page, cleared history, shut down the browser, tried another browser and still no change.

This is from the theme-init.php file with changed dimensions. (New dimensions are: 1400 by 448)

		// This theme uses post thumbnails
		if ( function_exists( 'add_theme_support' ) ) { // Added in 2.9
			add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
			set_post_thumbnail_size( 300, 225, true ); // Normal post thumbnails
			add_image_size( 'slider-post-thumbnail', 1400, 448, true ); // Slider Thumbnail
			add_image_size( 'slider-thumb', 100, 50, true ); // Slider Small Thumbnail
		}

Open in new window

When I view source, it still shows the old dimensions. (Old dimensions are: 1300 by 400)

<div id="camera597a95da6bdd9" class="camera_wrap camera">

	<div data-src='http://cea.98d.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/SouthMainRain-1300x400.png' data-thumb='http://cea.98d.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/SouthMainRain-100x50.png'></div><div data-src='http://cea.98d.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/SouthBluffsSkyline-1300x400.png'

Are You Using the Best Web Development Editor?

The worlds of web hosting and web development are constantly evolving. Every year we see design trends change, coding standards adapt and new frameworks/CMS created. With such a quick pace of change it’s easy to get lost trying to keep up.

See if your editor made the list.

Hello,

I'm hosting a WordPress website on GoDaddy Managed WordPress. Unlike GoDaddy's cpanel hosting, with Managed Wordpress they do not log IP addresses of website visitors in an access log file.

Would love to have some dependable code to add so as to record to a file the IP addresses of visitors to my website.

Would also need instructions about which wordpress file to add the code.

Thank you.

I am asking questions about hostupon shared linux hosting

You're overcomplicating things. Exporting the DB and reimporting it is simply making a copy of the DB and you end up exactly where you started.

You do not need to export or reimport the DB. The DB is already there and ready to go. Just install the scripts, point them to the DB.

The pointing is done by editing the DB settings in the script configuration file. If you do not know the DB user password, you can reset it and use the new one.

how can I
edit db settings in script configuration file

I have database (but forgot password). I can see database because I have access to cpanel and can use phpMyAdmin

how do I reset password??
is this wordpress password or database password?

I'm working on a custom WordPress site that uses a BuddyBoss child theme that I've been heavily modiying over the past few months.

I'm currently working on a custom PHP template that's using JQuery's Colorbox plugin to load a PHP file in modal window via ajax. The popup that contains the PHP file is being displayed without any issues .. and the native WordPress functions within it are working as expected. But the one BuddyPress method that I'm trying to use is not working .. namely "bp_is_my_profile()". Here is my PHP code:

<?php 
require("../../../../../../wp-blog-header.php");
require('../../../../../../wp-load.php'); 

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { // THIS METHOD IS WORKING

  if ( bp_is_my_profile() ) { // THIS METHOD IS NOT WORKING

		echo '<p>This is your Buddypress profile page.</p>';

  } else {
		echo '<p>This is NOT your Buddypress profile page.</p>';
  }  

}  else {  
		echo '<p>You are not authorized to access this resource.</p>';  
}
?>

Open in new window

What do I need to add to this PHP file in order for the "bp_is_my_profile()" method to work correctly? I've already verified that this method DOES in fact work when I call it within a normal PHP template file that's part of my child theme. I just can't seem to get it to work when calling it from any other PHP file .. despite the fact that I'm loading both the "wp-blog-header.php" & "wp-load.php" files.

Thanks,
- Yvan

Hi

In my WP blog, I'd like to give my users the opportunity to sell their associated art (their music)
Now that CD's don't exist, what are the opportunities here? mp3's, iPod?
How is music sold?
Do most people have the ability to acquire this music, in practicality?

Thanks

Hi

On my latest Freelancer project, the developers did the first part, the blog,
but we agreed that the second block, the video, would be another project.

Does that - in chat - agreement in the FL chat system count as a kind of legally binding agreement? - chat is logged

Thanks

As a newbie I rented a winserver2016 vps and dezigned a wordpress site on it. The site is simple wit 8 pages, 2 mailchimp forms, some picures and two youtube embedded links.
Now I have 2 options:
a) hosting my site on a hosting server with CentOS servers (Versio)
b) keeping the winserver2016 at TransIP and keep the site running on it

I have insufficiënt knowledge about securing a CentOS server and would be happy working within a Microsoft en ironment which I am familiar with.
Mail will be done by hosted mailservers of Versio or TransIP

I need the sit to be stable and fast and would like to know how many visits a month can be served by both options without major delay (less than 1 sec for loadi g a page is required)
The wordpress theme is generated press with 4-6 plugins for mailchimp, security and youtube.

Any advise will be apreciated highly!!

This site was created a very long time ago and a second install was done in a sub-directory named memlog. It has the permalink structure of just /%postname%/.
The root install uses the permalink structure of /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/

We want to import the posts from the memlog install but would like a way to get the existing search engine links to those to redirect to the permalink structure of the root install without having to add 1150 redirects in the htaccess.

What I've done so far is imported the memlog posts into a dev area and added a parent category of memlog then moved all categories to use that as their parent in the hopes of trying to get a way to target "memlog" for the redirect to the root's structure. Once there's a way to get that main category and all it's subs to redirect to the date structure then I can import from the dev into the root site.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

I am about to launch a WordPress/WooCommerce site but worry about around the clock support for my site since my developer's in India, Monday thru Friday.

That's about 25% of the week! That being said, I would expect the bulk of sales to be on Eastern Standard Time, 8AM to Midnight, which means his coverage percentage is higher that 25%.

Are there are support models you can think of which would be me paying some small retainer for a WP developer to be on call and getting notified if there is a hiccup or site outage? Then, if there is real work that's needed, I'd pay on an hourly basis?

Curious...

Do I need to be worried at all about the site have problems which could cause it to be unavailable to process further orders?

I am not worried there may be a one in a hundred error rate which I can resolve when the email comes in, but instead, having a site outage causing orders to stop.

I need to decide if I should hire a security expert to try and "break" my site.

I have the latest updates for WordPress and WooCommerce and host it at AWS as EC2.

Where kinds of security problems might I have?

I already changed the database username to no longer use "root".

Can you think of things I can do to nail down the site?

Is it worth having a security guy look at it?

Thanks.

I'm trying to apply a minor customization to a WordPress admin screen, and would like to figure out how to populate the closest text input field with radio button value on click using Javascript / jQuery.

The HTML that I currently have in place is as follows:

 <div class="rwmb-input">

  <input size="30" type="text" class="rwmb-text" id="fave_plan_title" name="floor_plans[0][fave_plan_title]">

  <div class="floor-plan-titles">

      <input class="plan-title" type="radio" name="plan-title" id="plan-title1" value="First Floor">First Floor 
      <input class="plan-title" type="radio" name="plan-title" id="plan-title2" value="Second Floor">Second Floor
      <input class="plan-title" type="radio" name="plan-title" id="plan-title3" value="">Custom

  </div>

</div>

Open in new window

To clarify .. I'd like to have it so that when you click on one of the 3 different radio buttons, I'd like for the text input field that's above them to be populated with that radio button's value (ie: either "First Floor", "Second Floor", or "" .... nothing / clear the field).

I'd normally do this by using the text input field's unique ID attribute selector .. but these text input fields are being generated dynamically, so I'd prefer to just traverse the DOM somehow and to just populate the text input field that's above the radio buttons.

Also .. note that I need to implement this using jQuery's noconflict mode (which uses "jQuery" prefixes instead of "$").

Would someone here be so kind as to provide me with a Javascript function that would allow me to accomplish this?

Thanks!

Hi,
I would like to export the posts from an old wordpress site. I only want the posts, and I want them to override the ones in my new site. So what do I do in MySQL to export the old posts and then import them into the new table.

Wordpress - HTTPS not displaying with IE?

Hi

My website is setup to run over http or https, I assumed everything was working until recently.

On my mac in Safari and Firefox the following two URL's work fine
http://www.petenetlive.com
or
https://www.petenetlive.com

HOWEVER in IE it does not load the CSS and bleats about mixed content, Now I can view the source and see that the css is being loaded from http URLs so that's probably causing the problem, (why Firefox and Safari works I don't know?)

I've tried various Wordpress plugins that claim to fix SSL problems - none of them worked. I've set the site in Wordpress to use the https URL, I've also set this in the wp-config file.

HOW DO I FIX THIS?

Note: In running NGINX and don't have a .htaccess file
