Looks like uninstalling and reinstalling worked! Thanks again for the help! ??

That’s fantastic! Added and tweaked the code, it works perfectly!

I’ll be sure to rate the plugin, thank you so much! ??

Thank you for the elaborate response, much appreciated!

I’m unfortunately not experienced enough with JavaScript to do this, so will look forward to the update. ??

Hey @thomasplevy,

I’ve submitted a support ticket on LifterLMS.com to provide you the details privately.

Hey @thomasplevy

I updated to 3.4.5 and can confirm issue has been resolved. Thanks for the prompt fix, guys!

No problem, Gioni. Excellent work you’ve done on this plugin. Looking forward to the next version!

James, no worries.

Thanks for the heads up. ??

Khevel,

To complement James’ post, and assuming your site is hosted on a common shared hosting setup where you have cPanel and File Manager access, see if the “Choice 1” instructions in this article are helpful to you:

https://www.ostraining.com/blog/wordpress/disable-a-wordpress-plugin/

That will deactivate Tierra’s Billboard Manager. You should then be able to log back into your site and delete the plugin from there.

If that doesn’t work out, you may have to consider getting professional assistance. Try asking your hosting provider for help and see if they will remove the plugin for you.

[removed]

You go into the root content folder of drjanicestuart.com and remove all the content from it, then upload the Duplicator archive and installer.php to that folder.

The path to the root content folder is usually something like:

1.) drjanicestuart.com/public_html/
-OR-
2.) drjanicestuart.com/htdocs/

So, if you have a folder inside drjanicestuart.com called public_html or htdocs, check that it contains such things as wp-content, wp-admin, wp-includes, wp-config.php and possibly even wp-config-sample.php and/or .htaccess.

If it has those folders and file(s), then that’s where you want to delete everything and upload the Duplicator package.

Let us know how you fare along.

As bdbrown suggests above, cPanel is not necessary if you are able to upload files to the destination website’s public_html (or equivalent thereof) directory.

You don’t have to change the WordPress Address and Site Address when using Duplicator. As part of creating the package of the demo site, you will input the new URL that you want Duplicator to install the site under, and it will handle everything else, including database entries.

You should not lose any SEO ranking, unless your redesigned site impacts your site’s SEO performance. In my experience, indexed pages will remain unchanged if the pages and navigation structure are the same on the new site.

I second bdbrown’s suggestion of using Duplicator.

You may find this step-by-step process I wrote to another user helpful, as their situation is similar to yours:

Ah, don’t worry, you’re just getting started. I’ve been there as well. Confusion is part of the job in this field as we’re constantly on our toes learning new tricks. Stick with it and you’ll get there.

Let me also say that I learned about using each of those tools one at a time, and either weeks or months apart, because I wasn’t introduced to all of them at once like you have been here. So don’t hesitate to take your time. ??

Doesn’t seem like your site enables us to see the page ID via developer console inspection.

Can you go to the WYSIWYG backend editor of the page and copy/paste the URL you see?

It’ll look something like this: boomerbalancebikes.co.uk/wp-admin/post.php?post=13377&action=edit

The “post=13377” denotes the page ID.

I’m able to remove the menu via my browser, but I’ll need the ID (put in bold in above URL), to target the sales offer page and see if I can help you reproduce the same result.

No problem!

The webinar course will definitely show you some methods of getting each of these things done.

But to give you a basic idea, here’s a process you can use (you’ll learn all the git steps once you dive into git):

1. Set up your local site with DesktopServer (or download and import the live site into DesktopServer)
2. Create an online repository on BitBucket/GitHub/GitLab that will contain the files you’re going to be working on (this will usually be theme and plugin folders)
3. Clone the repository’s master branch to the respective local folder (let’s say a specific theme folder) you’ll be working on
4. Add and push the local files to the online repository you have connected to (by cloning in step 3)
5. Begin working on your local development files and submitting the changes to the online repository so other people can access the same files. Then you just keep track of when the other person has made changes which you can sync down to replace the respective local files
6. Once done and tested, you just use Duplicator (or paid version of DesktopServer) to move your local site to the live site

Of course, one additional step you may consider, is creating a staging WordPress site on the same live server that the production site is on (you can use a subdomain like ‘staging.example.com’ for this). Move your local site to staging first, test that everything works on the live server, then move from staging to production site. This is to minimize any risk that the production site breaks when your local changes are applied.

So, with DesktopServer, Duplicator, and WP Migrate DB Pro, there are different ways you will be able to go about moving your sites (or just syncing database tables and/or files) back and forth. As you get comfortable with each of these tools, you’ll eventually figure out your own workflow.

There are also more involved methods of deploying directly from git (on your local machine) or an online repository, to the live server. This is something you can optionally explore in the future.

And don’t worry about git, it’s really easy to use once you’ve been shown how to do it and know the most essential commands.

All this is a mouthful, but just take it one bit at a time. ??
