I will have a look. Thank you.

It is the bare minimum hosting, basically a legacy site with a few pages of personal projects no one really sees, but that might mean there is not enough elbow room for installation. If the PHP space can be increased enough, I might do that for now. If I go up t the next level I could use the site for professional projects.

That’s helpful – thanks. I will try it out. I have been using the old OS system, and have added multiple routes in different styles – but that may be beyond a free version plug-in.

Naturally, two minutes after posting that, I found out: the dashboard was listed under the general “Settings” menu.

Now my challenge is what to do to start.

Alas, no – I have tried that; no change.

I would reload WordPress from the start, but that wipes out all the content (as I learned once before).

Thanks. I have now got it to do what I wanted it to do. I could not get the system to include() existing PHP files (which were just HTML text actually) but by replacing all those PHP files with snippets, the text in echo(), it did work. I might try something more complicated later…

I am conscious of being hampered because the Visual editor is not working at the moment (a common problem wit WordPress it seems), and when I have fixed that I might be able to do more with PHP snippets.

There are as many causes as posters, by the look of it, and I have another.

I manage four separate sites, all on WordPress 4.9.something (the upgrade does not work!) and only one has this problem. I have not got anything wayward ticked, I do not use Cloudflare (whatever that is), I have few plug-ins. I even inserted a line of code in the config.sys file as recommended by one site, to no avail.

It happened when I was doing some heavy Text editing: I had to finesse some links (‘<a href=’ etc) and table formats. Having done that in Text editor, the Visual editor remained permanently greyed-out for all pages, and nothing has been able to revive it.
