Also, before someone else suggets it, yes, I know it is in the html files. Where do I access those?

That stuff I know, I’ve been doing this a while. Rest assured, I use child themes. Genesis framework and some pretty sweet ones I’ve customized the heck out of. I also know how to go into the files via ftp and find what I need.

What I can’t figure out is where in GoDaddy’s Managed WordPress, not the regular WordPress hosting, to find the wp-content folder. With the regular GoDaddy you just log in, you can go to Hosting, then go look at the files, find wp-content, and you’re good to go. I have a number of client sites I’ve got set up this way, no problem.

However, Managed WordPress is designed to make it super easy for the end user, almost fool-proof, but it makes it a little more difficult for developers. With Managed WordPress, where do even go to find the correct files in the first place? I can’t even find them via ftp. Starting to feel like I’m banging my head against a brick wall.

I understand this question. I have never used the managed WordPress before, but my client signed up for it, so there you go. I uploaded customized theme files via WordPress Dashboard. Now I need to make some tweaks to the theme files. I have set up ftp, I’m in, aaaand… where the heck are the WordPress files??? That’s the problem. How to access the WordPress files via ftp (or even just through the GoDaddy dashboard) for a Managed WordPress account?

Also, it may be worth noting the code in the .htaccess file the 1st time it crashed (the above bad code is after the last time):

RewriteEngine On

# BEGIN WordPrRewr<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

I’m came here looking for answers to the same issue. My client gets the error when someone tries to create an account on checkout (I’ve disabled that for now). A quickie solution was to rename the .htacess file, which allows me to see the site again. I changed the permalinks back to default, saved, then back to what it should be, save. All looks good, new .htacess file gets created. I test it, it goes out to PayPal like it’s supposed to. Client’s customer goes in, does the “create account” thing, blows up. I pulled the old .htaccess file (the bad one) and the new one into Kaleidescope to compare and it is exactly what demonc11 is showing, it’s being rewritten every time.

This is only happening since the update. However, I uploaded the WooCommerce version right before the latest one and it crashes, too.

Here’s the difference, fwiw:

“Clean” code:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

“Bad” code that gives error:

## BEGIN WordPress<<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Yes, it was. The way it happened was she had forestavenuepress.com and was using that for her wordpress.com (masking). Since it’s her business, she didn’t want it to be down while it was being set up, so she had that longer one set up so the new WordPress template could be configured, then once it was ready, they had their host get rid of the long string and make it forestavenuepress.com straight up. Right now if I try to log into that other one it redirects me straight to the “normal” log in. Regardless, if you just go to that longer one, it is showing the current site as it is now. So they’re the same, only not, if that makes any sense.

I tried to log into the production site URL but it is redirecting to the main login. When I just go to the production URL it shows that URL in the address bar but shows the live site. I didn’t set the domain stuff up, someone else did. So I don’t know exactly what he did, but I’m wondering if this is now an issue for their hosting company first, then when that’s straightened out I come back here and let you know it’s been disconnected/reconnected?

Again, thanks so very much. If there were a way to buy you a giant coffee, I’d do it!!

Thanks – and no, I don’t copy the entire database over. I’m probably a weirdo but because I don’t want/need everything I only upload theme template files. In fact, in this case, she only hired me to set up a theme template the way it shows in the demo, so I didn’t actually do a dev site for it. I think when you first mentioned it I wasn’t tripped up by that because I typically do use them. At any rate, I never actually connected anything for her, I had her do it with her own logins/pwds. This particular site started out at forestavenuepress.wordpress.com (which might still be live), but it was owned by the client, not me. So when she made the transition from the wp.com to a self-hosted, she contacted support and had them move the subscribers over. I’m wondering how you can send me the info privately so I can see what the dev site is you’re referring to? Ohhhh, wait a second! She had the domain and she had the .com redirecting to that, she actually had a subdomain of sorts set up with that same main domain. I’ll see if that’s still active/available for me to go in and disconnect it (crossing fingers!) but I’m thinking it must be still live if you’re able to see it?

Thanks! I’ll let you know asap!

Is this for the lite version or standard?

Uh oh – the stats were there a few days ago, but they’ve disappeared again. Looking in your instructions it says to disconnect then reconnect. Does my client need to do that again? Is it connecting now with her own WordPress.com or with the one on the dev site?

Ah, okay. That makes sense. I recently got rid of a couple of development sites and, though I’m careful about who is signed in when it all gets connected, it looks like I had an “oops.”

I just checked and it all seems to be working just fine. Thank you so very much for handling/fixing this for me. Truly appreciated.

Please feel free to close this thread.

I have to second this one. I just did it in my Safari browser. Selected text, then went up to Edit –> Copy. Opened TextEdit and pasted it right in. Otherwise, great plugin, especially for photos!

Sounds like you need to use a UTF-8 character for an apostrophe in its place. So instead of typing “London’s”, you’ll need to type “London'”. Looks bizarre when you type it, but it works. Here’s a link to a list of UTF-8 codes for that specific character. See what works best for you as there are several. I will caution that sometimes, depending on where it is, if you touch it or look at it funny, WP will strip it right back out and put that backslash in. It’s the bane of my existence on WP, even though I know there’s a fix for it and I can never remember it. Heck, maybe it’s just a matter of choosing a different code. lol

Here’s a link to the UTF-8 codes:

HTH,

Hi… I’m having the same issue just now. Thing is, I was able to do it easily with Firebug and it looks great in Firefox but Safari acts like it’s never heard of such a thing. All I need is the correct selector and I can go from there. Ideas?

I know this one is resolved, but without even downloading this plugin I can tell you that PIE supports only shortcuts the way the developer has it written above. This one’s not on the developer, it’s on IE most likely.
