Greetings,

Nice-looking site!

So, you are unable now to edit the contents of a page?
What happens when you try? Do you get any error message, or does the edit page act like it made your edits successfully?

Do you know if you are using any caching plugins, like WP Super Cache, etc.?

I’m sure we can get this figured out.

Howdy,

When running the import on WordPress.com, did the process finish? Did it give you any type of message, error or otherwise?

Another thing to try is exporting / importing specific post types on their own.
When doing an export, you can choose posts and export them in blocks of a month or two. For most other post types (Pages, etc.) you cannot specify a start and stop date, but you can export just that type. (i.e., an export just for “Pages.”)

Sometimes this approach will get you through problems. Admittedly, it’s not as easy as handling only one export file, but it might get you over this hump.

Good luck!

Howdy,
While anything is possible, one thing is for sure: If you do this, you are asking for trouble. WordPress is simply not designed to work this way.

There may be other ways to accomplish whatever your end goal is. Can you provide a little more information on why you need to do this — what you hope to achieve and why? I’ll bet there’s a more fitting solution.

Greetings,
You could try switching your site’s theme to a known good theme without PHP errors, such as one of the most recent like twentyfourteen, etc.

Be sure to set WP_DEBUG to false, as suggested, if you haven’t already.

You might get more direct support from the plugin authors, of course.

Good luck!

Howdy,
Are you certain you remembered to update the WordPress address and Site address in Settings > General? Sometimes I forget to do that in the midst of everything else.

Howdy,

Are you using a special plugin for Groups functionality? “page-ps_groups” makes me think you are.

When you restored your database, it is possible the plugin became disabled. Please check to see if you are using such a plugin, and that it is activated.

Howdy,
First, I must mention that your first order of business should be upgrading your WordPress 3 site to the latest WordPress 4 version. Numerous security and feature improvements happen a few times per year, and you need those in order to run a secure site and not become a target for hackers.

Second, all plugins in the WordPress Plugin Directory indicate their compatibility with different versions.

Third, themes are more of an issue regarding compatibility. If your site is updated to the latest WordPress version, and your theme was developed correctly, it should work.

Finally, most things done on wordpress.com sites can be done on your own self-install. The Jetpack plugin makes much of the WP.com functionality available to your own site — check it out.

Good luck!

Howdy,
Your site may be using a login notification plugin. Many exist, but for example:
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-user-login-notifier/

1. Look to see if you have such a plugin activated on your site.
2. If you don’t want to use it, deactivate the plugin.
3. If you do want to use it and just stop getting the emails on failed login, find the plugin’s Settings page, where perhaps you can specify which notifications you want to receive.

Howdy, you can certainly do this.
You need to learn a bit about making your own WP_Query, and use some Category parameters.
Start here:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Category_Parameters

One way to make use of a custom WP_Query in your case is to create a custom page template, and within that template run the custom query.
For custom page templates, start here:

Good luck!

Greetings,
This issue is with the purchased theme you’re using. I doubt you’re doing anything wrong. Give the theme author a shout and they should be able to help.
Good luck!

You should use a WordPress backup solution to backup your database and files. From this backup, you could re-create your site later should you need to.

There are many solutions, but I have used the following successfully:

Good luck!

Man, I said I’d push 2.0.6 like a week ago, and didn’t get it done. Sorry gang.
The code is done, but I need to test a few more things before pushing.

I am sorry your expiration dates got messed up. I’m about to release version 2.0.6 which will not cause that problem any more, but there isn’t a way to automatically go back and fix yours now.

Just a quick explanation on my mistake:
* New version of CS stores expiration date/time as a unix timestamp, in UTC timezone. This is much more reliable no matter where your site’s server / timezone are set.
* Date/time were previously just stored as a string, so when you activate the new CS, it migrates those strings to unix timestamps.
* I did not consider the effect of users having custom date / time formats. This confused PHP when I attempted to do this migration. Others got 1/1/2000 as their resulting date / time.

So, the best I can do at this point is release 2.0.6 and hope it doesn’t take you forever to re-add your desired expiration date / times.

Look for 2.0.6 probably tomorrow (Friday 1/16.)

Thanks for (hopefully) understanding,
Paul

Greetings,

Are there any more details about the error you received?
Also, are you by chance using a custom date format or custom time format on your site?

Let me know; we’ll get you fixed up.

Thanks,
Paul

Howdy,
Could you please let me know what your custom date / time formats are set to?
I think we’re good to go, but I want to test a couple more things before deploying version 2.0.6.
Thanks,
Paul
