• I am new to Word Press so thank you for your patience. I am helping troubleshoot a website created by someone else. The link to the blog page goes nowhere. Please look at https://www.roastedstone.com and click on blog.

    In looking throught the administrative pages of the website in WordPress, I noticed that there is a “links” page. From there I see a “Development Blog” page with the link pointing to https://www.ads-software.com/development/ Perhaps this is the source of the problem and the link needs to be set? Or perhaps I am barking up the wrong tree?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you in advance.

  • This has nothing to with wordpress. You need to edit your actual website, not the wordpress part.

    Find this code <div id="blog" onclick="location.href='https://www.roastedstone.com/?paged=1/'"></div>

    You need to change https://www.roastedstone.com/?paged=1 to where ever your wordpress file is located.

    example, if it is located in a folder called “wp” then change https://www.roastedstone.com/?paged=1 to https://www.roastedstone.com/wp

    Thank you for your help. I changed the link as you said From:
    ‘<div class=”separator”></div>
    <div id=”blog” onclick=”location.href='<?php bloginfo(‘url’); ?>/?paged=1/'”></div>’

    to:

    ‘<div class=”separator”></div>
    <div id=”blog” onclick=”location.href=’https://www.roastedstone.com/2009/08/01/welcome-to-our-blog/'”></div>&#8217;

    But the website continues to look for the ?paged=1 file.

    I have searched the website for all occurances of ?paged=1 and found it only on this page and in the footer.

    I changed the footer as wel but it does not seem to reference the change. I have tried refreshing the page as well as closing the browser and opening a new browser.

    Looks like you got it up and running! I see it perfectly fine.

    That said, your best bet is contacting your (or your client/friend’s) hosting company. They can help you figure out why the setup isn’t right.

    Thanks Gabe!

    I did figure out that if I edited the page using WordPress (I had been editing them locally and ftping the edited file) the edits actually stuck. I do not know php which is what this website was written with. I found the url to the blog, and it now is working, but I do not know how to find the url that will work for the order form. I am gleening from my limited exposure that the urls are hidden by the php code unlike the much simpler html url strings. Can you give me a hint as to how to figure out the url that will work for a file called orderform.php in a deep directory? Thank you.

    Have you been using your WP admin for all the edits? You should be able to find all your php files there.

    In response to your question about where I am doing my edits. Yes, I realized that I am able to make edits only from within WordPress’s WP admin interface. Any edits I make elsewhere do not work.

    I think I am figuring this out. Can you answer a couple questions to see if i am on the right track?

    I think the problem with the orderform is that is does NOT appear in the WP admin interface. Since I did not setup the website originally I am not sure if it was never added or if it has been removed somehow. I have never setup a website to use WP, so I do not understand the process and am afraid to experiment for my own edification with a live website used for commerce as I am sure you can understand.

    Perhaps you have some suggestions as to how I should proceed? Can I just add the orderform PHP page to the WP admin interface? If so how do I do this?

    Thank you so much for your assistance.

    I went ahead and created a draft version of an order form. I do not see how to add form fields for the user to fill out. Perhaps I cannot create a form in this way?

    I also tried uploading the php order form and could not. The error said I could not upload a file of this type.

    I tried copying and pasting the code into the html view of the page. This did not work either.

    Thanks for your help.

    Unfortunately it looks like you need a developer to help you. Although I work on my own sites, I definitely don’t consider myself technically sound enough to help someone else’s code blindly.

    I found this plugin that made the PHP on my page work:

    Exec-PHP

    I still can’t get the Java Script portions of my page to work.
