Akismet uses your wordpress.com account to register the Key
So if you have an account there, that’s the login.

When you are creating an account, click on the “I already have a wordpress .com account” at the top of the form. (blue letters just below the title.)

It will then take you to a place to sign in, rather than create an account.

here you will find “forgot your password?” below the form to the right.

Then just follow the steps to get your account info, then head back and sign in to register the Akismet API Key.
Just a heads up: Akismet is not free. For a one-site plan, I think it is 5 bucks a month.

There are some free ones out there in the wordpress plugin database.

For example
Anti-Spam

Head to Appearance -> Editor

Then go to Functions.php (on the right hand side of the screen, blue list of files)

do ctrl+f
Search for: wp_pagenav()

The line that is calling it should appear.

Either comment out or delete it

to comment it out, surround the function with /* at the beginning and */ at the end.

Seems like it should’ve gone back to normal after you deleted it.
Do you have WP-Super-Cache installed (it comes default with a couple hosting providers, and is automatically activated upon install)? If so, you’ll need to delete that cache as well. (would be under settings -> WP Super Cache -> Easy tab -> Delete Cache

I wish you luck then. I am sorry that I could not be of more help. ??

hello chet.
In cases like these, I use a completely blank theme with barebones wordpress functions included.

My favorite is
https://www.ads-software.com/themes/blankslate

That is a completely barebones theme. Includes some functions to get you started. Allows total freedom with where you go.

Then you just include the html as you see fit…takes some practice to get used to any wordpress functions and proper placement throughout the theme. There are plenty of tutorials out there. Just gotta dive in and take it step by step.

Quite honestly I could sit here and write a short essay and it would only skim the surface …Just gotta keep trying through tutorials and find which one fits you best. It’s simple, once you get into it. Just a lot of information to cover.

Personally I would not mind answering any specific questions that you may have.
I do not have much knowledge of advanced functions, but I do know enough to get you a decent start (it’s just a matter of “where to begin”)
Feel free to add me on skype: andy101592, if you would like.
I’ll be around for a few hours this evening

If I understand correctly, you want to be able to use wordpress-like functions, but also have it outside of the directory structure.

Have you tried pulling all of the wordpress functions into these new files that you are creating?

For example: I recently created a dynamic CSS file. In order for it to work properly, I needed to be able to use functions such as

get_pages()
$page = post->ID
get_option
etc.

all I had to do was include:
require('../../../../wp-load.php');

Require the relative path to the wp-load.php (in this case 4 directories back), and then I was able to pick and choose any functions that I needed (including any plugins).

Sorry if I am mistaken, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to mention

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Moving_WordPress#On_Your_Existing_Server

Those are normally the steps that I follow.

just make sure to back up anything you can, before you begin.

There are also various free plugins out there, such as this one.

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/duplicator/

Make sure that the image source includes https://

otherwise it will search for a sub-directory called “www.arashlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/fatal-car-accidents.jpg”

https:// lets it know that it is a new URL

To do this: Head into the post or page that the image is on, head into the “text” tab, instead of visual, and go to where you see the image tag.

In this case…the page that you listed above.
The image code will look like this in the text tab:

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2660" style="width: 700px; height: auto;" alt="logos" src="www.arashlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/logos.jpg">

Will be right after the heading:
Local, Trusted And Highly Successful – Call us for a completely free consultation

Where it says
src="www.arashlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/logos.jpg"

change that to include the https://

src="https://www.arashlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/logos.jpg"

In the end, you’re just adding the https:// to the beginning of the image source.
Lemme know if that solves it for ya.

Seems like a hosting issue…found your site.

Here on Google….Third Result down

This is the second page of a google search for your site. Your site is the third one down.

for some reason it is displaying it as an ip address?

Check for any 302 Redirects? (as described here)
Click here for that topic on the google forums

Someone else just recently had this problem.

Head into your wordpress dashboard
Then head to:

Settings -> Reading

At the bottom of this you will see a checkbox

“Search Engine Visibility”: [ ]Discourage search engines from indexing this site”

Make sure that this box is not checked.

Lemme know if that solves it.

(copy and pasted answer that I had given them…same steps)

The above did not work for them, but that is because their problem ended up being different. It is just always my go-to First step whenever dealing with search engine visibility issues (because it has ended up being the case so many times in the past when someone has come to me for help with this problem).

If it doesn’t fix it, lemme know.

You may also want to check out their thread, in case they come up with a solution that may be useful to you (it is a current discussion a few posts below yours right now)

Gah. I am still lost.
I have been trying to accomplish what you mentioned Sandy, but no luck.

I’ll give it a shot when I get home. Asked that question right before I left for work.
If any examples are available as to how I would do that, that would be awesome.
Thanks for the feedback sandy.

You…I bow to you.

That worked perfectly…I’ll definitely have to keep that solution handy!

Thank you so much ??
