This is not a theme, it is a plugin.

In reply to: [jcwp scroll to top] Where is the changelog for 1.6?Thanks, Jaspreet.
I appreciate you keeping this plugin up to date.
A complete fix for this is described here (on down a ways):
https://www.onedesigns.com/support/topic/update-1-0-8-problems
I had reverted to 1.0.7, but have installed a plugin that the member who describes the fix has made available there as well, and it seems to have fixed the issue for 1.0.8.
Forum: Localhost Installs
In reply to: can't restore db in phpmyadminPutting the .htaccess in the local phpmyadmin folder worked for me.
In a WanpServer install, the phpmyadmin folder can be found in the wamp > apps folder.
Thanks so much.
Are you up to attempting to install into the new location manually?
Are there any other WordPress installations running on the server?
Cory, may be able to offer you a solution, but as far as I know, this extension is now a standard part of PHP, and his plugin cannot install WordPress without this extension.
What version PHP are you running?
Ahhh, okay. Yes, it is a mysqli extension. The driver is supposed to be included with PHP versions after 5.3.0, so it is probably already included in most shared hosting environments.
If you haven’t seen this already, you can find more information about installing it here:
Where did you see that you need mysqli?
All you need is a standard mysql db.
I wanted to bump this post (and change it back to unresolved) because I realize now that there are issues with how this plugin displays on mobile devices. I did not thoroughly test this out and at the time I made the comment above about it working for all sizes and settings, and I was confusing responsiveness for mobile capable.
Here are the facts.
This is a flash based player. A Flash player does not display properly, if at all, on mobile devices. The workaround that plugin developer came up with for mobile is to have the player divert to a special YouTube playlist to play the videos. This kind of defeats the purpose of having the player in the first place.
I am now testing my sites with the Opera Mobile Emulator. This obviously uses the Opera browser, but it seems to be a very good browser and I think it gives a good representation of how things display on mobile devices.
On the plugins demo page: https://www.extendyourweb.com/wordpress/ultimate-video-gallery/
I found that the player is nether responsive nor mobile capable. I tested it on Amazon Kindle Fire, Asus Eee Pad Slider, HTC Wildfire, LG Optimus 1, Motorola Droid RAZR HD, Samsung Galaxy S III, Sony Xperia Ray, and Toshbia Thrive 10.1, and on all of them, the player initially displayed okay, and linked to the YouTube playlist; but none of them would play it. They all displayed a popup window indicating that the protocol was not supported.
Interestingly, the Nokia N800, N9, and N900 Maemo all did play the videos in the special list.
In testing the player on my own website, where the player should be, it displays a rectangular banner with a title across it, and does not resemble a video player at all (no control buttons, no playlist), and nothing at all happens when it is clicked.
On a closing note, I will add that I use a plugin called FitVids for WordPress that does wonders for how a video player (any player) displays on the screen. It causes the player to fill its container size, and makes all videos completely responsive. And it makes this plugin look and perform great on a desktop display.
This is potentially a great looking plugin for desktop. It functions well and is easy to configure, and I thank the developer for bringing it to WordPress… But it does not currently work for mobile applications.

In reply to: [PressBackup] Are download backups saved? If so, where?Yes, I now see that option, now.
It appears that this plugin only works on one WordPress installation per account without upgrading to a paid account (that could possibly be made more clear in the description). This is not going to serve my purposes at this time.
Thank you for your answer though.

In reply to: [PressBackup] Waited 20 minutes for a backup to PressBackupThere was no error message. In a blue bar at the top of the page, it said it was performing a backup.
I tried it on another installation (with new account) and it worked. But after the initial backup, the Backup Now and Backup Now (Download) buttons were no longer functional, so I could not perform a backup to download (I deleted the initial backup hoping to do some more testing. This limitation did not allow me to fully test the plugin’s capabilities.
That’s okay though. I think that this plugin may be useful for someone who only has one site to manage with simple backups. I have several sites, and do not want to pay for your services at this time.
Thank you.
Interesting, it worked on the same site the first few times, but, of course, things are constantly changing. It does work on my simpler sites. I will keep trying different things, because you are evolving the best and essayist WordPress migration solution around.
I thought I had, it must have been stripped. Here it is again:
