Thank you Andrew! ??

Yes, its Twenty Nineteen.

Default install of WP RC3. No plugins or anything.

Hey nicoleatlahhh,

Check if your theme has a specific template page for home page.

To do so, on the WordPress admin panel, open the page you want to have your front page and in the right sidebar look for Page Atributes. In the template dropdown, see if there is an option for Home page.

Here’s an screenshot to guide you:

These links are returning 404 errors.

Could you please check the website and be more specific on what you’re trying to accomplish?

Have you tried Smart Slider 3? https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/smart-slider-3/

The free version allows you to create dynamic slides and filter by categories or tags. It should do the job that you need.

Awesome! I’m glad you got it! ??

Hey styrmand,

Migrations can be very painful, but it seems you are in the right track. There are many ways to organize your code and bring the right data and structure to WordPress.

However, with WordPress you might want to build a custom plugin, if the functionality you want to have is very specific. You don’t want too much code for functionality living in your theme, because if you want to change themes in the future you can safely do so without breaking your site, or relying too much on your child theme. Therefore, although you can pack a lot of functionality within functions.php, you might want to create a custom plugin to handle part of your code.

As to the second part of your question, there are lots of good content out there about migrations to WordPress. My suggestion would be to start with some video content on WordPress.tv: https://wordpress.tv/?s=migration. You can find great lectures with people explaining their experiences and case studies.

Hey IceyD,

Looking at the source code, it seems there are quite a few scripts that are loading in the internal pages, which are not loaded in the home page. In particular there is jQuery UI, which might be required to do the toggle effect in your mobile menu.

I don’t know if you are comfortable with code, but what you have to do is make sure all required scripts are loading in the home page as well.

Please let me know if this is helpful.

Hey SniffleValve,

Posts and pages should behave in the same way (in regards to publishing date).
They are stored in the same place in WordPress.

This looks like a bug with OLW. Unless the page is saved as a Draft or Private, it should show up just like a post.

I would wait for a response from OLW. Please share any findings here if you can.

You should also take a look at the desktop app for WordPress: https://apps.wordpress.com

If you have Jetpack installed, you can connect your self-hosted site to it and publish directly from it.

Hi seemaalfredadler,

I’m not sure what do you mean. If you have a Drupal site, you could have a separate WordPress install in a subfolder or subdomain (such as /blog or blog.yourdomain.com).

However, the site you shared is powered by WordPress. I’m confused on what you wanna do with Drupal. You could also run a Drupal website/blog in a separate folder or subdomain.

Please let me know if this answer was helpful, otherwise share more details so we can better understand what you are trying to achieve.

Thank Caleb,

I’ll look for the hook you mentioned. I’m trying to avoid manual processes.

Best,
Fabio

Thank you Mike. I appreciate the quick response.

Is there any way I can automate this? Maybe an extension or hook?

Go to the wp-content folder and under the folder plugins, try to rename the folders by adding something like “-disabled” to the end.

Here’s an example:
You should have a folder called theme-check, under plugins.
Rename this folder to theme-check-disabled

This will disable the plugin. Look at the Choice 1 in this link for more info:
https://www.ostraining.com/blog/wordpress/disable-a-wordpress-plugin/

Do this for every plugin and see if you regain access to your WordPress Dashboard. If you can, then you can start reverting the process one by one to isolate the plugin that’s causing the problem.

Since you don’t have access to the WP Admin, the only efficient way you can test if this is being caused by a plugin or theme would be to access your server and disable or delete plugins and themes.

What’s your hosting company? Most hosting companies will offer you a file manager within the control panel. This way you can see your files and modify them without going through FTP. Do you have a control panel you can access?
