In reply to: Remove the Category titles from my homepageLooks like
.cb-category { display:none; }
needs to be added to your stylesheet. You’ll need FTP access to do this. You can do it through the editor in appearance, as well.
Beyond this, we really can’t help you out here. You’ll need to contact the theme vendor. If your theme, ‘valenti’, is a wp.org theme, please post this in the appropriate section.

In reply to: Manual update questionIts just saying to make sure the old files are somehow replaced by the new ones – whether you overwrite them or replace them entirely is up to you. Take a backup first, though.

In reply to: Contact form to pass details to WordPress userNot sure about a plugin, but you could always do it with a CSV file. Helpful if you already have this information stored somewhere.

In reply to: wp-login.php could not be found on this server.What specific errors, if any are you getting? Make sure you’re using https://www.your-site.com/wp-login.php to do this. And, did you go through the ‘famous 5 minute setup’ or just upload a bunch of files and then try to login?

In reply to: Whitelisting IPs in htaccessI’d give it a shot. Seemed to work with me.

In reply to: Fatal error: Out of memoryQuite possible a plugin problem. Mem limit changes only work with certain hosts. I’d try deactivation all your plugins through FTP and reactivating them one by one. If two of your plugins do close to the same thing, they might be triggering a fatal loop somewhere (happened to me about a year back). Backup your goods first, though.

In reply to: Whitelisting IPs in htaccessThe plugin ‘better wordpress security’ has an option to whitelist certain ips or domains. Lots of feature bloat, though.

In reply to: loss of hosting servicePretty standard, I guess. Anyways, good luck with the backups (keep ’em in 2 places – just in case). ;^)

In reply to: locate a file with specific text in itLooks like this might be called in from an include file. Is there any call to get a PHP file where that image appears in the code?
In the meantime, this should provide a temporary solution to hide the non-image:
.home .alignnone.size-full.wp-image-53 { display: none; }

In reply to: Different static front page for logged in and logged out usersHmmm… I might use this for easy redirection for multiple user roles, without the bloat. Nice snip.
Cheers

In reply to: loss of hosting serviceJust to reiterate – I would go for the ‘maintenance’ option, myself. Older domains generally get some SEO special treatment value. Unless you’re looking to change the domain name, you should most definitely keep it active.
Let me know what HG says about backup/restore (I’d like to know if they’ve changed policy). :0)
You must change that in the theme files themselves. You would need to make your homepage changes in the file content-none.php. You might need to dig a bit to find where else changes should be made.
I would highly suggest looking into making a child theme if you’re going to change a WP default theme, however. Otherwise, your changes will be overwritten each time you update the theme.

In reply to: mismatched banners in wordpress 3.5 – Submenu cuts banner in halfFirst of all, I would strongly suggest you upgrade to the latest stable release. Otherwise, you’re just asking for hacking issues.
Secondly, you’ll have to edit some theme PHP files to fix your problem here. It should be fixable just with the header.php file. Unfortunately, I have no access to this, so can’t really help you there. Also, this forum doesn’t support non-WP.org themes, so you may have to contact the theme vendor.

In reply to: loss of hosting serviceI know HostGator does let you take a backup of your database from the cPanel. You can also set up a FTP user to backup your files.
If I recall, HG does offer to restore a site from backup for around $15. Mention that to them and they may be able to get the files directly to you.
Unless you really don’t like the host, though, it would be much easier/safer/smarter to just renew the account and put the site into maintenance mode (if you don’t want it viewable). Be careful to not lose your domain name.
Good luck.
