Usually .htaccess files cascade, so the one in the /public_html/website/ folder will inherit whatever you put in the /public_html/ one.

If you only want your changes to affect the WordPress install, then you should just change the one in /public_html/website/ where your WordPress install is located.

That should do the trick!

Hello!

The fifth line from the bottom of the code you pasted appears to be the culprit:
<p class="nocomments"><?php _e( 'Comments are closed.', 'mantra' ); ?></p>

If you replace the “Comments are closed” text with nothing, i.e.
<p class="nocomments"><?php _e( '', 'mantra' ); ?></p>

You should be fine! Or you can remove the entire line to also remove the (now) empty paragraph.

Hope that helps ??

Without having used the phpMembers software, I’m not sure how it protects folders. Depending how the protection is implemented it may work, or it may not.

As you say, it may be best to do a test site setup and see how you go.

While I see you’re slightly daunted by WP MU (or WordPress Multisite, as it’s now known), this would probably be the best solution for you. This would allow you to use a sub-folder system, and have 3 separate blogs running on /blog, /siteA, and /siteB quite easily.

However if you’re certain you’d prefer to just keep it all separate, then it’s quite possible to use 3 separate WordPress installs in each sub-folder as you suggest. You can use the same database but different table prefixes (WordPress default is “wp_”) or you could use 3 separate databases altogether if you wanted.

It should just be a matter of creating the folders /blog, /siteA, and /siteB, and going through the WordPress installation for each.

Personally though, I must say, that I think the effort involved in using and getting familiar with WordPress Multisite will save you a lot of time and pain in the long run. It’s not too difficult, just have a read of this page in the Codex to walk you through setting it up: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Create_A_Network

Best of luck!

Essentially, it appears a bunch of WordPress files are missing from your installation. If you have FTP access, you could try downloading WordPress from https://www.ads-software.com/ and then uploading all the files and folders. Don’t upload “wp-content” though, as this is where your themes and plugins are, so hopefully that’s all still in tact anyway.

If this doesn’t help, you should get in contact with HostGator support ( https://support.hostgator.com/ ), and they can help you getting Fantastico and WordPress to play nicely together.

In some ways, the problem is diagnosed. It appears to be a timeout issue.

Unfortunately, working out where to adjust that timeout has proven elusive, but hopefully no other process your site ever needs to do would take as long as an import.

I’m really pleased to hear you got it all fixed! Glad I could point you in the right direction ??

In my experience, WordPress doesn’t like you logging in from a domain other than the one specified in those fields under Settings -> General. It will try to redirect and possibly just fail to log you in.

If my original suggestion doesn’t work, perhaps someone else can help. Sorry!

Go to Settings -> Permalinks, and save. That should do it! ??

You could try re-saving your permalinks? That sounds like a permalink issue to me.

Great! Glad to help ??

Resetting those options back should be it, but I would recommend re-saving the Settings -> General page with those values to make sure.

What did you have as your permalink rule before?

From the look, it should have been: /%category%/%postname%/

I suspect you missed the 3rd (of 4) “%” last time.

:O Did you backup your database? You will need to either restore it, or go into phpMyAdmin and adjust two values.

home and siteurl in the wp_options table need to be changed back to the base URL used for your WordPress installation ( in your case, “https://www.17bcars.com/glamis” ).

WooThemes have just released their e-commerce plugin, for free, called WooCommerce which is a fork of Jigoshop.

I’m yet to try it, but it looks like it’s worth a look. Will be trying it on my next e-commerce project I think.
