Hello,

I have a client also looking for a CAN option. Anyway this can be added, Square told him when submitting the payment you simply put CAD instead of USD in the submission, i may be over simplifying it here but any change you can support more countries?

Thanks,

Hello,

Rob Here at Islandnet.com again, I am trying to watch the WordPress forums for customers that might be having issues.

You could use a plugin called Search and Replace at https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/search-and-replace/, The problem your facing is what many customers face when they develip the site using one URL and then going live what to switch over to another, the database has lots references to fully qualified URL’s in this case https://www2.islandnet.com/~posabilities/…

Alternatively, we can use PHPMyAdmin to issue SQL commands such as

UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = replace(option_value, ‘https://www2.islandnet.com/~posabilities/’, ‘https://www.posabilities.ca’) WHERE option_name = ‘home’ OR option_name = ‘siteurl’;

Feel free to contact me at [email protected] and I will help you with this.

Thanks,
Rob Turner

Hello,

Rob here at Islandnet.com, did you ever get a resolution to this? How did you design the theme, using Artiseer?

Would love to help you get this resolved if its not already.

Hello,

If your trying to update content from the dashboard and its asking for FTP information changing the wp-config.php file and adding:

define(‘FS_METHOD’,’direct’);

might resolve this, it sets wordpress up to do direct access to its host rather than using FTP which is generally slower.

Hello,

Any good host should give you full access to the file space where the wordpress install is hosted to get over issues such as this, I would contact them directly and ask them to give you FTP/SFTP and SSH access.

I looked at PHPMyAdmin but dont see any easy way to disable plugins, must be a flag that gets set when you enable a plugin do there must be a way… anyone?

Hello,

Also in some shared hosting environments you will find that the service provider does not allow manipulation of files in the global temp folder for reasons of security, they have have a method to override this function, we do here at Islandnet.com.

Its more than likely a permissions based issue as stated by esmi.

Thanks,

user_email is the entry in wp_users if you want to change the email address.

Hello,

Here is my suggestion to go manually change the password:

– login to PHPMyAdmin
– Go into the database.
– Click on the wp_users (you may of used a different prefix to wp_ when you installed word press so go into prefix_users)
– You want to Browse the table contents and locate userame user_login
– Edit that entry
– Set the user_pass function MD5 and then type in the password in plain text in the value and click Go button to apply the change.

I have saved a few customers that way. I would also recommend a plugin for you which is SI Captcha, its a great plugin that can be configured to add a captcha code to the login page, this way it protects you from brute force attempts to get into your wordpress dashboard.

If you suspect a brute force attempt then Web Stats such as Webalizer will probably help you find out what IP and you can block it using a htaccess file or the ISP you use should be able to check web logs themselves on your behalf.

Also, try and avoid using the default username Admin, you can use the process above to edit the user_login entry to be something else too.

Some advice about passwords too, always use complex password, avoid dictionary words and try to use a mix of upper, lowercase and letters and numbers and even a punctuation park of some kind in passwords.

Hope that helps, sorts of things I have to do at work for WordPress users should the need arise.

Thanks,
Rob Turner
