This worked a treat, very simple for a newbie to install and incorporate.
An extra big ‘Thank You’.

Sorry, my bad.
WordPress 4.7 using 2016 theme, site origin page builder, SEO pack, SSL and a couple of other plugins.
I went looking for the theme style page, but there isn’t one. So I went into a CSS folder and found 41 CSS files. Doesn’t sound right somehow, so I am looking for help.
I also found on opening up one file a heading of ” TinyMCE and Quicklinks toolbars” and “/* TinyMCE widgets/containers */” if that is of any help.

You missed the point. There is nothing in the ‘basic’ package. You can download the plugin but it only produces ‘markers’ there is nothing in them, so nothing is produced. It only works when you download the premium features.
So, I stand by my original post, it’s close to being a ‘scam’ or ‘comeon’ and should be deleted.

Tried that didn’t work. Finally found a method of checking permissions and they can’t be right as they all show read and write, but the ‘group’ is read only.
So how come the permissions on the whole WordPress file were changed over, surely they were not downloaded as such, but after ‘unzipped’ they are.

Not a ‘silly’ question at all, if it supplies an answer.
I’m unsure, here is the url. /opt/lampp/htdocs/wp-admin. that’s in Linux.
But the links are different in Windows as follows. /var/www/html/wp-admin.

Back to linux.
There is a /var at the bottom of the lampp directory. So I’m wondering if it should be /opt/lampp/var/www/html/wp-admin
What do you think?
I’ve just drilled down and find under the /var mysql/perl/proftpd/run then drilling down even further I find phpmyadmin. wp_ Do you think I should try loading in /var/www/html? Sounds logical to me!

Thanks for that kjodle, problem is with Xampp the files are all sorted in ./opt/lampp so the issues with var/www/html don’t apply, and the htdocs files are below that.

I believe I’ve had this problem once before, gave up on Linux and moved it all to Win 7. But now I would like to sort this matter out, so would request more info.
I have checked the permissions and they look correct but am unsure on that point. I fail to understand what would change the permissions on the whole install?
All I did was to download the program files, unzip, then copy and paste into the htdocs folder.

“Seems to work in many cases” But not mine.
Got round to trying again. Loaded “Duplicator” from WP, but when I come to use it “create new” I get a server error “Server support Fail” all the suggestions are based toward the server administrator, but I’m on localhost. It would appear I need Mysql server 5.0+ to be installed.
Any suggestions, please?

I’m not sure where it comes from, but I had a real problem with my PHPMyadmin it took me days to work out that it placed a username as Phpmyadmin and would not allow me to change it.
So my advice would be, don’t try to change it back, if you’re on localhost you really don’t need security, and if you intend to ‘hang it’ on the internet then it’s set by your host settings.
Why use Mint? It’s possibly the best support available and their load instructions can’t be beat.

As one Mint User to another I’ll try to help!
What are you trying to do? Lots of ambiguity in your post. One or two questions at a time would be useful.

OK here is the problem. Checked that file you suggested and found those “upload_max_filesize=64M
“post_max_size=64M”
to be 128, but the ececution time was only 30.
Changed to 300 and now it works.
Thanks.

Not to be ‘smart’ but could you please give me a bit more, you’re dealing with a rank amateur and I don’t know what to do.
Thanks in advance.

Unsure where “global” comes in? I have just checked “localhost/wp-admin/php.ini” and find that “upload_max_filesize=64M
“post_max_size=64M”
“max_execution_time=300
Comments?

Been there done that! No change. Any other suggestions?
From the amount of comments, plus the amount of suggestions none of which work, this seems to be a major problem with WP.

I had a similar problem and had help to fix it.
Stupidly I copied and pasted those two lines, with no adjustment. They need to be adjusted for localhost and should read …..’https://localhost’
Go back to config file and rewrite those two lines, then when you’re ‘back in’ delete them.
If like me you’re concerned about changing to https, then look into Simple SSL an available plugin.
