You are welcome,

It sounds like you want to create a Custom Post Type. First one would need to ‘program’ WordPress to create the tables in the structure that WordPress works in. Its more common to use the WordPress interface to input data, whether you mass import it or enter each entry manually.

WordPress can hold and display many different types of content. A single item of such a content is generally called a post, although post is also a specific post type. Internally, all the post types are stored in the same place, in the wp_posts database table, but are differentiated by a column called post_type.

– WP Codex – Post Types

So basically you would want to create a ‘Song’ custom post type and attached to each post type would be some custom fields for things like: lyrics, references and bio. All WordPress post types can by default have images attached to them via a link or by uploading directly.

I recommend you take a look at this treehouse overview video on creating custom post types, and then do some googling, don’t hesitate to come back here and ask some more questions.

Haha nice.

Glad it worked out ??

I was just looking at confused.com, and as far as i can tell, it is not a WordPress site, am i mistaken?

Is it possible that confused.com is using different software and when you view Softaculas you are viewing a different subdirectory or different domain all together?

Yes you will still need to click update in the WordPress dashboard. Sometimes the server host installers like Softaculas can get the version number wrong with WordPress on your website, but the WordPress updater is more accurate.

Using Softaculas in your hosting: Go ahead and check where it says Backup Directory and Backup Database. wait for this to finish backing up there should be an indicator of some kind, make sure you get confirmation before continuing.

After this has finished backing up, go back into your normal WordPress dashboard and click update there.

That should be enough to get you updated to 4.1 safely.

I’m sorry I don’t understand. Can you please explain in more detail.

I’m not quite sure what you are trying to setup. Do you want to setup a online forum or a online social network or both?

Hi,

In the most basic terms, to call data from the database there is a list of functions you can use, these functions do something and will in most cases retrieve specific data from the database and display it, check out this page that lists WordPress functions, each function says what it does. Then you might want to watch a video on how to use these functions that explains exactly where to place the functions into your theme or plugin code.

Check out this YouTube video, it is a tutorial on how to output the author name onto the post, it also shows you how to output the category of the post your viewing on to the page or post. Hopefully it gives you the general idea and you can go from there.

This image of the WordPress database might also be useful to get a idea of what info WordPress is storing by default and that you might want to get to. Remember you can also create and store you own custom data using Custom Fields.

Make a backup of your .htaccess file and then delete it, and see if that clears things up.

If that works, instead of restoring the .htaccess file, go ahead and change your permalinks setting to any other setting and then change it back to your preferred setting, this will prompt WordPress to create a new .htaccess file with the correct settings.

Welcome ??

glad you found it ??

Happy New Year!

Sorry i misunderstood your question, just disregard my response. haha sorry.

I just double checked.

You will want to set the title of your page to ‘Home’ and then scroll down and set the SEO title to Welcome. that should give you the desired effect.

I have an idea, try using an SEO plugin to change the title of the page while leaving the name of the actual page intact, or visa versa.

Change the page name from ‘Welcome’ to ‘Home’

You can install an SEO plugin like Yoast SEO, and it will give you the ability to change the title of the page while leaving the name of the page the same. what this does is makes it so the tab of the browser and google search results will read, ‘Welcome’ but in the breadcrumb it will display the title of the home page, which should be set to ‘Home’, right now the title of the home page is probably set to ‘welcome’.

Does that make sense?

The straight answer to your question is; BuddyPress is easier.

The full answer is: Multisite and BuddyPress are not the same thing and serve two different purposes.

Multisite lets your website visitors create their own WordPress site, while BuddyPress simply gives your website visitors a user profile and a space to post and communicate on the same site.

No worries ??
