Many thanks for that @logologics.

Of course! Don’t know why I didn’t think of that.
Thanks.

Hi Lyle

Thanks for this; I updated to 1.9.3 and all now seems to be good.

Sorry leejosepho, but I’m unable to see a standalone functions.php file.
My current hosting contains a few sub-domains and I’ve been looking in the relevant sub domain directory. There appears to be no reference to the theme or functions.php in the files in there?

I think instead Imight try editing the wp-config.php file as suggested in ‘Changing the Site URL’, but I note that the can’t be edited on the General Settings page once back into the site?

Apologies for the ignorance; am I missing something here?

Thanks for the replies guys.

I’ve read through https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_The_Site_URL
and decided to try to use ‘Edit functions.php’. However, the only functions.php file I seem to be able to locate is within wp-includes. Is this the right file to edit? The only other file I can see is ‘admin-functions.php’ within wp-admin.

Thanks for this Shaped Pixels, much appreciated. It gives me something to investigate. I just wanted to modify the font, but have left it as is for now.

Thanks for that Steve,much appreciated.

Thanks for that Steve, the only problem is that I’m currently (& unfortunately) quite ignorant regarding CSS. Is there any other option please?

Hi again bemdesign

I’d got through most things, finding nothing untoward, and thinking of a reinstallation.
I then checked with my host company, and they suggested that:

“this error is caused by mod_security blocking a potentially malicious upload. While it may be completely harmless, mod_security has no way of knowing if it is harmless or not.

Typically, the content in question is a file being uploaded which contains a special character such as a single or double quote within the file name which is often used by attackers to inject malicious scripts into websites.”

I checked, and had an apostrophe ‘s’ in the image name, changed it and hey presto, it uploaded!

My thanks again, and apologies for making what I now realise is a fairly basic error.

Hi bemdesign, and thanks for the response.

I’ve disabled all plugins and switched to twenty fifteen, and tried again. It doesn’t load and just says ‘crunching’, so I’m assuming I follow the rest of your suggestions?

Thanks for this Ryan, I think I can now sort it.

Thanks for this Ryan, it’s very instructive, especially as I’m quite a novice with WP.

What I was really asking though is regarding the stats available via ‘wordpress.com/stats’.

Ideally, I want to provide a client with stats relating to their site, but don’t want them going ‘behind the lines’ as it were. Can you make any suggestions for this please?

Hey WPyogi

Great news – the site’s back up and running.

Thank you so much for your assistance, it’s really appreciated.

Hey WPyogi

As I haven’t heard anything in almost a week, I was Just wondering if have any further ideas on this problem please?

Thanks in advance.

I sorted out my question above.

Enabling Debug produced:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_json_encode() in /home/thefoot/public_html/wp-admin/includes/misc.php on line 668

Does this help at all?
