I set up the local folder to contain WordPress files then created the virtual host in WAMPServer and set up the database using PHP MyAdmin. When setting up the database, I made sure to select “MariaDB rather than MySQL. After doing these steps, I went back to WAMP, selected Your virtualhosts –>easylivinghomeservices.test and started the WP install.

I get the following error:

Cannot select database The database server could be connected to (which means your username and password is okay) but the?database could not be selected.

I used the username “root” with no password as I have done in the past. The message indicates that doing this is not the issue.

I can log into the database through PHP MyAdmin, There isn’t anything there because the WP install won’t run. Last time I set up a local WP site, WordPress populated the database as part of the install process. Is the process different when using MariaDB? I have never used MariaDB before but couldn’t find any information on using it as my database when installing WordPress.

Again, I made sure to select MariaDB when I added the database in PHP MyAdmin.

I have set up local sites many times without a problem. I have always used MySQL for the database but am using MariaDB for this site as this is the database that is used by the hosting company. (I don’t want to run into issues because I used MySQL locally and will have to use MariaDB when the site goes live.)

Is the cause of my problem the fact I used PHP MyAdmin instead of something else?

I think I did something wrong here. I’m not technical at all, so hopefully someone can help me fix it.

Yesterday, I decided to reset my whole website so I could start over. After that, I could log in to my website anymore. After asking some questions on this forum, Steven helped me log in again (thankfully). But now I cannot access my dashboard. I just see the main page of the website and my name in the top right- and left corner.

I already tried giving my user admin-privileges. My site is hosted on Siteground and I went to phpmyadmin. One thing I need to note it that nothing is called “wp_users” or something, but “cgf_users” instead. Maybe this is the problem?

Anyway, giving myself admin privileges this way did not work. Does anyone else have another suggestion?

I am also open to starting all over by somehow deleting my website completely from WordPress and starting all over again. So if that is possible, please let me know how to do that as well.

Many thanks in advance!

Do you have any recommendation to fix the problem? I can access my site via SSH.

Thank you.

I have a problem with my wordpress site. I feel that it is not possible to complete purchases on products with mobile devices, and in some cases on a computer. The item is in stock and I can add it to the cart. But there will be a file at the checkout.
Error message: This product cannot be purchased. (Translated from Swedish)

I have read some other threads with similar problems, but have not been able to solve the problem with the fixes that the threads have recommended.

Has anyone had the same problem before and solved it?

Yet, EVERY one of them, when I attempt to update the sidebar in Appearence >> Widgets, I get “There was an error. The response is not a valid JSON response.”

I have deactivated all plugins and switched to default WordPress theme and I have reset permalinks. Nothing fixes the problem.

I have also tried (suggested elsewhere) installing the classic editor. Nothing works.

Is there a bug in WP 5.8.2?

I’ve tried to deactivate the option for testing, but now when I try to click ‘password forgotten’, I’m just told the username/email doesn’t exist (when I’m pretty sure it does).

I’m kinda lost, any help would be appreciated, thanks.

This is a nice plugin which I hope to use for my software, but I am stacked with a problem when trying to validate a key. I carefully tried everything found in the related post about the same problem, including the USER_AGENT parameter which seemed to solve it in the past, but doesn’t work for me, even if I deactivate Wordfence security plugin.

$url = “https://mydom.com/wp-json/lmfwc/v2/licenses/validate/”. $id . “?consumer_key=” . $ck . “&consumer_secret=” . $cs;

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
CURLOPT_URL => $url,
CURLOPT_USERAGENT => $_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’],
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => “”,
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => false,
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => “GET”,
));

Postman also returns the same:

{
“code”: “lmfwc_rest_cannot_view”,
“message”: “Sorry, you cannot view this resource.”,
“data”: {
“status”: 401
}
}

My site is running php 7.0.22. WP 5.7.1. Enfold theme.
I will be very grateful if anyone could help.

Thanks,

Kim

I have a multisite on OVH. Elementor works perfectly on the EN version but not on the main French version of my site, where it doesn’t seem to launch anymore (the ”white screen of death” as you named it). I tried with safe mode, I switched theme or deactivated some other pluggins, but it doesn’t change anything.

I see I have these errors – see the picture: https://www.casimages.com/i/201021031208672689.png.html

What does it mean? Does anyone know what to do?

I would like to erase Elementor from my extensions in order to install it again, hoping it would work, but it turns out that I just cannot erase it (I have an error message when I try)… It is just hell!

Thanks for any help

The calls I make are:

and

The user exists and even generating new api keys, didn’t solve the problem.
