Crucis

The default grey text color causes problems for some people regardless of background color. I have some elderly users, using older monitors who have difficulty reading the next in the sidebars. There just isn’t enough contrast for them to read the text easily.

I’ve tried to change the style sheet to darken the text but so far I’m unsuccessful. If I understand the reply above, If I insert the code below, it should changed the font color everywhere to black, Correct?

p {
color: black;
}

Mark this as RESOLVED.

From the symptoms, it problem had to be an Apache error. The Apache config files weren’t all that different. I had copied httpd.conf from the old server to the new one. Everything else worked…except for the virtual servers (I have two.) I forgot to check the other hosted domain and didn’t notice it didn’t work until this morning.

The fix: Instead of copying the “old” httpd.conf and making the changes to reflect the new server, I went back to the original, supplied httpd.conf installed on the new server and modified it to reflect the needs for the webserver.

Instead of doing a cut ‘n paste for the virtual server section, I re-ented them by hand. This time, the blog looks and appears as it should…https://crucis-court.com.

The problem was Apache and the configuration. The old vs. new server were “nearly” the same version but not exact. Lessons learned: don’t copy config files. Modify the new ones to reflect the correct configuration. Old does not equal the same in the case of config files.

No, the “sample” page didn’t work either but that could have been an operator error. My initial entry above included the error message when comments failed. I’ve now reverted to the default permalink and that is working.

Here is the link when the error occurs (I’ve reset permalinks to the month and post (3rd) selection.

Esmi, I’m my own host. I’m running Apache on Linux and mod_rewrite is enabled.

Yes, it was in the WordPress root directory. Here’s the contents.

# BEGIN WordPress

# END WordPress

chmod = 644

mw

No. I switched to several and no error message appeared. All said…

Permalink structure updated.

I don’t have a problem using the default mode. I was just mimicing, as much as I could, the look of my old blogspot blog.

I do have another issue but not on this subject. I’ll post another question for that.

Yes, that fixed it or so it appears. I had been using the “Month and Name” selection. Does the default use MySql to store posts and comments while the other selections don’t?

Curious minds would like to know. I’m a retired telecom engineer. I used to do a lot of C, Pascal and other structured programming but little PHP. I want my WordPress blog (https://crucis-court.com) to look as much as possible to my old blogspot blog (https://crucis-court.blogspot.com).

You can mark this resolved although I’d still like to know why it worked.
