In reply to: How to you remove author information?You can do this with a simple modification to the style.css file of your theme. Put the following code in the file:
.authour { display: none; }
One way to make the modification is from the admin panel of your WordPress (Appearance menu>Editor sub-menu)
Note that it’s recommended that you use a child theme of the original one. Otherwise, all code modifications will be lost when you upgrade the theme.

Hope this helps.

In reply to: Subdomains on a subfolderTo be able to use subdomains with your multisite network your WordPress has to be in the document root of your hosting account.
In your case one workaround is to set your WordPress that’s in the subfolder (e.g. mydomain.com/mywp) to add sites in the network as subfolders (e.g. mydomain.com/mywp/site1), and then you can use a domain mapping plugin to map subdomains to that site. So you can map an URL like to mypage.mydomain.com to mydomain.com/mywp/site1, and people will be able to use the subdomain URL to access the site.
Hope this helps.

In reply to: Moving a multisite subdomain into entirely new domainThe plugin works fine with 3.7.1. You can test it to make sure yourself. If you have doubts you can also ask other people for confirmation.

In reply to: removing options for comments on individual pagesHave you checked the screen options. On the edit screen of the page in the admin panel click on the Screen Options button in the upper right corner, then make sure that the checkbox Discussion is marked. This will make visible the settings for enabling/disabling comments.
Hope this helps.

In reply to: Moving a multisite subdomain into entirely new domainDo you mean that you have one multisite network with three subdomains in it, and you want one of the sites in the network to have a separate domain?
For example, your main domain is yourdomain.com, you have site1.yourdomain.com, site2.yourdomain.com and site3.yourdomain.com as part of the network, and you want site2.yourdomain.com to be accessible at anotherdomain.com.
If that’s what you’re looking for, you can achieve that with a domain mapping plugin. There’s no need to move anything.

In reply to: Generic domains and dns redirects with MultisiteAs far as subdomains and subdirectories of the base site go, those can be created by using the available options in the network admin panel of the multisite.
For separate domain names a domain mapping plugin has to be used. With its help you can map a domain name like separateblog2.com to an existing site in the multisite (e.g. bigsite.com/blog2). Domain names can be mapped from the admin panel of the particular site. So you don’t need access to the network admin panel for that.
However, if you don’t have access to the network admin panel, you won’t be able to configure the domain mapping plugin. If you’re not allowed to add sites (e.g. bigsite.com/blog2) to the multisite network, you’ll have to request that as well.

In reply to: Instructions for installing for Domain AND SubDomainsThat’s fine, you’ll need that as well. But this is not what is meant by wildcard subdomains.
The wildcard A record is on DNS level, while wildcard subdomains are so to say on the server level. You don’t have access to that from the control panel of your hosting account, so you’ll have to contact the support team of your hosting provider. They’ll know what to do.

In reply to: Instructions for installing for Domain AND SubDomainsIn order for your multisite to work with subdomains your hosting account should be configured to work with wildcard subdomains. This is done in the virtual host file for the account. You probably don’t have access to it.
In any case you’d better contact your hosting provider for that.
You don’t need the domain mapping plugin to make your subdomains work. It’s useful for other things.
Hope this helps.

In reply to: Running two copies of WordPressYou can have more than one WordPress installed in the same database. You just have to make sure that the table prefix for each is different. The prefix is set during the installation. There’s an option for that. If you don’t change it the default prefix is wp_. So you first WordPress probably has that table prefix. When you install the second WordPress just change the prefix to something else (e.g. wp2_, anotherwp_, etc.).
Although for various reasons it’s preferable to install each WordPress instance in a different database, you shouldn’t have any problems running multiple sites from the same database.
Hope this helps.

In reply to: Continue Reading → Need to removeSince I don’t have access to any of the other files one possible solution I can propose is to change the relative position of the element by putting some code in the style.css file of the theme.
For example, you can try something like this:
.zilla-likes { position: relative; top: 42px; left: 400px; }
You can change the numbers if you want to move the element to a different position.
Hope this helps.

In reply to: Continue Reading → Need to removeYou can do this with a simple modification to the style.css file of your theme.
Note that it’s not recommended to edit original files of a theme because the changes will be lost when the theme is upgraded. For this purpose it’s better to create and use a child theme of the original theme. For more info: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes
To remove the “Continue Reading” element from the frontend add the following line of code to the style.css file of the theme:
.post-more { display: none; }
One way to edit the file is from the admin panel of your WordPress (Appearance menu>Editor).
Hope this helps.

In reply to: How to make a page invisible in the row of page namesI assume you’re referring to the top navigation menu. Have you tried by creating your own menu and replacing the default one?
From Appearancemenu>Menus sub-menu in the admin panel you can create a custom menu and include in it the links you want. Then you can replace the top navigation menu with your custom one.
Hope this helps.

In reply to: Change background color title search widgetYou can do this by modifying the style.css file of your theme. There’s a built-in file editor in the WordPress admin panel. The code that you need is around line 185:
.heading span { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF; padding-right: 20px; }
Just change the color from #FFFFFF to #59d2db, so that the code looks like this:
.heading span { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #59d2db; padding-right: 20px; }
That change might affect the titles of other widgets. You should check that.
Note that it’s better to use a child theme instead of modifying files of the original theme. In this way the changes will not be overwritten when you update the theme. For more information on child themes:

In reply to: 500 internal errorThere can be many reasons for this mistake. Despite being an internal server error, very often the issue is not with the server itself.
Have you made any changes to your WordPress files? If you have incorrect commands in the .htaccess file, for example, you may get an internal server error.
More information can be obtain from the server logs. Ask your hosting provider for assistance.
