In reply to: Facebook like URLs?Hi @tbenner60,
There are quite a few plugins like this, but most of the ones I checked had not been updated in 2 years or more by the author.

See if one of those suits your fancy.

In reply to: Themes that look like standard forums…Hi @madamimadam,
What is your current board? The screenshot is not showing up, but with a link to your current board I may be able to help. Are you basing your decision more off of the look of the theme, or functionality? What are your requirements around importing your existing board? In what format does your existing board export the content?
Looking forward to pointing you in the right direction.

In reply to: Menu not showingHey @bruccoleri,
With the help of a friend more adept at CSS, we were able to pinpoint why this was happening on your theme.
@media (max-width: 767px) style.css?ver=4.7.2:1409 .main-navigation, .top-bar-menu { display: none; }
Was set to
display:none;
and you can see how to turn this on and off in the inspector by watching this gif I created of your site and the inspector.Cheers!

In reply to: Menu not showingHi @bruccoleri,
That theme does have mobile navigation built in it, but looks like another css rule is overwriting your mobile menu. I have not identified what is preventing the menu from showing up yet, but you can see the css option for mobile navigation if you inspect the page (on chrome, right click on the page and inspect, more info how to use the inspector here), and search ‘mobile’ with the inspector pulled up, you will see
<nav class="mobile-navigation">
and can troubleshoot right there in the inspector.Cheers,

In reply to: Invalid Link when posting to Google +Hey @ivyboyter
I checked, and one of the posts was valid on Google Plus! Looks like one of the changes you made fixed the issue! Nicely done sticking it out and troubleshooting till the issue was resolved.
Do you mind sharing what fixed it, if you identified which change made the difference?
Cheers,

In reply to: Website RecoveryHi @avril27,
If your hosting provider does auto backups, or your website admin setup backups, you should be able to roll back to a previous version of your site. This process will depend on what was backed up.

In reply to: URL not recognised in mobile appHey James,
Ah ok thanks for clarifying. So you are trying to login using this WordPress.com mobile app? If so, since you have a self hosted site, you need to have the jetpack plugin installed as well (you may already have that too, just checking everything off the list).
If you have not yet installed jetpack and associated it with your WordPress.com username, here is a great resource on how to do just that. Give that a try.
If it is a different app, can you post a link to it? just want to make sure I actually answer your question.

In reply to: Invalid Link when posting to Google +Well, there is still hope while there are things to check of the ‘try these’ list. I will list more things to check/try based on some searches, knowing you may have already done your homework and tried them (I don’t like to make assumptions).
- Make sure there are no parentheses in your links or file names
- Try taking ‘www’ out of your site url as suggested by this post for users of IFTTT
I don’t have ideas beyond those, but if I come across anything else I will post it here.

In reply to: Invalid Link when posting to Google +Hey @ivyboyter,
Looks like you are going in the right direction checking settings in WordFence. Have you checked these settings yet?
check the settings under “Firewall Rules”. Uncheck “Immediately block fake Google crawlers” if it’s checked and under “How should we treat Google’s crawlers” you can set “Anyone claiming to be google has unlimited access”.
From:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/google-thinks-link-is-invalid/I crawled your site and did not find any issues, but have a strong suspicion WordFence is blocking Google from crawling your site.
Best of luck, and let us know what happens after you make those suggested changes.

In reply to: mysite.com/wp-admin is unresponsiveHi slickii,
What browser are you using when viewing your site? I checked on the latest versions of Firefox and Chrome on a Mac, and was able to view the video slider. Have you tried resetting the password yet? You would need access to the email address associated with the username you enter, but that may be a good option to try next (just to exhaust that possibility).
Best of luck,

In reply to: URL not recognised in mobile appHi Docjames,
Are you trying to setup self hosted email on your iphone? You may have to go into your host’s c-pannel and turn on imap (this process varies depending on your hosting provider), or gather the pop email settings from your hosting provider. If you need further help, just list who your hosting provider is so myself or someone else can point you to their specific resource.
If want a gmail like experience with your self hosted email, I recently moved to Zoho for my self hosted email addresses, and have been pleasantly surprised with the experience (and it is free).

In reply to: How to create a multiple wordpress sites locallyHey zk433,
My understanding is you would need to setup virtual hosts in Apache on your local machine to handle the additional site. There are a few steps in the process, and I found a pretty good tutorial walking through everything but the specific virtual host configuration:
https://john-dugan.com/wamp-vhost-setup/
Here is a second tutorial showing you how to configure the virtual host in windows now that you have it setup:

In reply to: installing new themeHi @actiwork,
Have you tried disabling all plugins then trying to add another theme? Was there any additional information in the error?

In reply to: Pictures dont showHi Frans,
I took a look at the first two links to images not displaying on your page, and both images were saved in the file format TIFF. I suggest saving them in a different format, like JPEG or PNG and upload them to your site. If you don’t have image editing software, I recommend either the online Pixler or desktop editor Photoscape.
Cheers,

In reply to: “View Older Posts”/blog button not working on homepageHi blasebrief,
I see that text widget on your site is currently pointing to https://blasebrief.com/blog/ and that page lists 4 of the most recent posts. Are you looking to have a list of your last 10 posts show up? A page with the full featured images on it, or small thumbnails next to the title of the post?
Your theme Aria is using the Genesis framework, and with a bit of a knack for programming you could likely create a custom page template like this, to create a custom page that would display a list of recent blog posts. You could then use the
wp_get_recent_posts
function in that custom page template to display recent posts.I have not done this before myself, so take all this with a grain of salt, but hope that helps point you in the right direction.
Cheers,
