Someone has had a similar problem in the past with WP 3.9.1 – check out the thread here

They said this solution worked for them:

– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

reset your plugins folder via FTP or the file manager provided in your host’s control panel.

Via FTP or your host’s file manager, navigate to the wp-contents folder (directory)
Via FTP or your host’s file manager, rename the folder “plugins” to “plugins.hold”
Login to your WordPress administration menus (/wp-admin)
Via FTP or your host’s file manager, rename “plugins.hold” back to “plugins”

I don’t know of any plugins that do this.

But i think what you are trying to do is something like what Twenty Fifteen does, it has the option to have ‘Social Icons’ as a primary menu.
Check out my blog it uses GitHub, Facebook, Twitter and a few other icons, there are heaps of social icons you can use.

Technically you could go into the Twenty Fifteen code and find out how it does this, its probably in the sidebar.php and the css for menu items.

One little bit of info that might help you on your journey is:

While on the ‘Menus’ page in the WP Admin, click on ‘Screen Options’ at the top of the page, you will see some extra options available to you for the menu items such as ‘CSS Classes’ – now if are familiar with Font Awesome and Genericons (icons used in WP Admin menu), then you might be able to add a social icon in a primary menu by adding the appropriate CSS Class in the field provided.

example: if you add

genericon genericon-wordpress

to the CSS Class field in a primary menu, does the WordPress symbol show up next to that menu item on the front end? You may need to include the appropriate css style sheets in your functions folder to get this work. (i do know this does work on some themes)

It sounds like the plugin or method for posting from the front end is causing a PHP memory issue, maybe your server memory limit is set too low.

Try increasing the WordPress and/or PHP memory limit.

This article on woothemes website explains how to do it: https://docs.woothemes.com/document/increasing-the-wordpress-memory-limit/

I would try the following:

• 1: Switch the theme to Twenty Fiften, the most current default theme
• 2: set permalinks to default
• 3: visit a page, then try and update that page
• 4: Try and create a new page
• If all that works then continue, if none of that works, come back here.
• 5: Re-activate theme ‘X’ and all your favourit plugins
• 6: After re-activating theme ‘X’ set permalinks back to your favourit setting

Hopefully that helps, i find there seems to be a problem with permalinks and themes and creating new pages/posts from time to time. This may not fix the problem, if not then i hope someone can help.

Welcome! this setting really got me one time, glad to help someone with it too.

Always good to try 1 or two things, but don’t waste too much time trying to figure it out, you can come here and learn super fast most of the time ??

Hi,

It seems someone already had this issue and has started a discussion in the Storefront support forum – here is the link: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/next-page-link-not-working-on-products-page?replies=7

Go on over and see if they have found a solution, if not, you should start a new topic at the storefront support forum here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/theme/storefront

Scroll down to the bottom of the page to start a new topic.

Check out the Jetpack plugin, it has a feature called ‘Related posts’ – it works by displaying posts with the same tags and categories of other posts at the bottom of the post in question.

So it suggests similar posts to users.

• Read about Related posts: https://jetpack.me/support/related-posts/
• Download Jetpack plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/jetpack/

Is that what your looking for?

Generally No, WordPress generates HTML dynamically depending on what Theme and plugins are installed. so to change a href the theme or plugin would need to have a setting to accommodate what your trying to do.

Of course it is possible to modify anything in WordPress, if you explain what your trying to do i can give a slightly better (but still quick) explanation.

After checking the box in discussion settings ‘allow people to post comments on new articles’ – try writing a new article and see if the comments are this time enabled by default.

This setting confused me for a while, one day i noticed this underneath:

? Allow people to post comments on new articles
(These settings may be overridden for individual articles.)

What this means is that all posts that were created BEFORE you check that box, will have to be manually changed to allow people to post comments. At the bottom of the post itself there are buttons to set this option for each individual post.

A easier way to allow comments on all posts is to go into All Posts, use the bulk edit feature, select all posts and go Bulk Action: Edit and click ‘Apply’. In the drop down menu next to ‘Comments’ select ‘Allow’ and then click ‘Update’ – this should update all posts and users should see the comment box below each post.

The authors of the plugin might have a better answer than me, maybe try posting this same question in the forum specific to the plugin – https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/duplicator

But I would say that your idea is correct:

Is it not better to use a reset plugin, take the online site back to basic WordPress and then use duplicator on a fresh install?

But first make sure to double check a few things so you can always revert back if needed:

• Make a backup of the original WordPress files.
• Make a backup of the original WordPress database

Once you have made sure you have backed up, and the backup works. You can go ahead and whipe your friends website and use duplicator on a fresh install as you noted above. That is probably what i would do, (and have done before).

Also note: that you might find that Duplicator (or another plugin) actually provides a feature to cater for this scenario, so you may not even have to do it this way.

Hope that helps.

Are you uploading the new images from the WordPress Media library? (Media > Add New).

WordPress definitely does not create a new post for each new image uploaded. It must be a theme setting or possibly a glitch with a plugin or your theme. Try disabling all plugins and switching to Twenty Fifteen to see if the problem persists.

WordPress allows you to view an image or any media on a ‘attachment page’ – Google and other search engines will index these ‘attachment pages’ so if that is the problem here i suggest you install an SEO plugin and set ‘attachment pages’ to not be indexed by search engines.
Attachment pages are not posts and they are not pages, they are simply a template that will put your image or video onto a ‘temporary’ page, so what i mean is, there is no list of attachment pages, to test this go to Media > Library, then select an image and look for the link that says ‘View Attachment Page’.

hope that info helps.

totally agree

I’ll have to make a theme for this plugin, really wanted it to work like WooCommerce tho. If anyone knows how I can get WordPress to use a template from within my plugin folder kindly link to a tutorial or let me know how it’s done – the WooCommerce code is a little help but super super complicated

I think maybe this is where WordPress is limited and where other CMSs like Drupal take over.

There is obviously no default or native way to do this thy I can see in the codex, and iv read that WooCommerce ‘tricks’ WordPress into thinking there is a product post type template in the WooCommerce folder.

The codex encourages one to use build CPTs into a plugin, but then u can’t make a wp_query on the admin post edit screen, well at least when I try it, nothing appears in my meta box but when I use that code in a theme template as per the codex all the calcs work and the tables render perfectly

Thanks for the suggestion – I would rather make it easy for the user by not making them use shortcodes but this may have to do for now.

I like in WooCommerce and some other plugins that register custom post types how they provide a template with the plugin so that no short code is necessary. In WooCommerce the checkout and my account page both use shortcodes, but the product post type definitely doesn’t use short codes and that’s what I’m trying to do.
