Sorry to hear that. Are you getting an error? You’re going to have to explain a bit more or include some screenshots, etc.

Oh, I see that the error is back. I suspect your database server is down because it did connect last time I tried. You should talk to your hosting provider or tech support for the server to make sure things are running okay.

I can only guess, it certainly wasn’t anyone here as folks don’t usually jump on a machine and make changes for you ??

I’m guessing that your WordPress server couldn’t access the database when you last checked, but now it can access it. Perhaps the server was down but is back up.

Good luck!

Looks like it’s working to me!

Excellent – please mark your question here as [resolved] in the beginning of the subject line. Thanks!

All right @rashah- that’s great!

You have lots of choices on next steps, including just leaving it alone now ?? Keep in mind that the page is still there and being used, so you do not want to delete! WordPress is embedding it into your front page dynamically. You’ll edit that original page when/if you want to update the content and those changes will show on the front page automagically.

You can change the name of that page if you want though it’s unnecessary. If you edit the index.php/homepage page you could change the permalink setting (right under the title) and just rename it “homepage” or something like that. Then make sure your static page setting still points to it. Could cause more confusion, so I’d recommend leaving it.

Best wishes, hope it helps!

Hi @rashah,

You can set a Static Page to be used as the front/home page on the site.

In Dashboard select Appearance -> Customize -> Static Front Page and you should be able to select that page to be the front page IF the page is managed by WordPress.

Is index.php/homepage written in WordPress or coming from somewhere else?

Strange, shouldn’t be little bullets in there, maybe just the support forum is adding those.

The Visual tab is merely a fancier human-readable representation of the Text tab. The code in the Text should look like this type of code. You can edit something in the Text tab and see if it changes the Visual tab presentation or not.

It seems that you have broken code somewhere on the presentation side of things. Unfortunately, it is not clear how the service that helped you changed things. Did they edit WordPress code behind the scenes or on the server?

At the end of the day it seems like with a post this short you could just delete the text and re-write it?

Your Site Address should probably just be: https://www.suremann-spenglerei.ch – not sure why you pasted the longer URL, maybe just a mistake in posting here.

Not sure how this happened or how to fix, but you could try copying that code and paste it into Text tab instead of Visual. I bet that will help.

Hi Adrian, have you happen to have a manually edited .htaccess (hidden) file that is rewriting these URLs? Perhaps post the contents of that file.

Does your Site Address look right on /wp-admin/options-general.php ?

@nybjjared – this sounds like a file permission problem to me where WordPress cannot save the file because the operating system isn’t letting it. I suggest trying to reset some of the permissions on your folders as describe in this thread:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/permissionsimage-uploads-1

The other potential issue it could be is that the file size is too large, but it would likely have told you that.

Hi @ellen7 – can you share some examples of the code that you are seeing? Do you know how much memory you have to work with now? How did you “clear” the problem you had?

Hi @majorkuso, you mention SCP, does that mean you have SSH/shell access to the machine so you can run commands? If so, then you should be able to run commands to dump/save the database to a backup file. I use a short script to run my backups for me:

mysqldump –add-drop-table -h localhost -u myusrename –password=xxx wp_site_dbname > backup_file_create.mysql

If you do not have shell access then it’s likely more difficult but a hosting company should provide some option, in my opinion.

Have you restarted (or reloaded config for) the web service, sometimes that is required to accept a php.ini change.

I’m not a guru on php-fpm but I’ve seen solutions where people edit php-fpm.conf (instead of php.ini) and add entry to set memory limits:

php_admin_value[upload_max_filesize] = 100M
php_admin_value[post_max_size] = 100M

I’ve also seen where nginx config requires something for client_max_body size
https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#client_max_body_size

As @wpnuance say, you have stretched your image and any time you do that you will get poor quality. If you can remake your image, maybe by enlarging the document in Word first so it is the size you are aiming for before you put it in Paint – then when you put it into WordPress you wouldn’t need to resize it.

Hope that helps!
