@ipstenu – Technically I think you could theme the posts for each author by adding the author name to the body class and then styling the CSS based on the body.author-name couldn’t you?

Great.

For the double line, that’s in #footer.

border-top: 4px double #CCCCCC;

Let me know how it goes!

Hi,

I think you can just use author templates. So in your theme each author has his own author template page.

Each page can be coded to have a different header and widget area etc.

Or you could use the one template but use conditional code to display different things for each author:

Hi,

It’s because you have the word Elsewhere om your footer in the heading 5 style which adds a white background that is covering everything.

There are two solutions:

1) Remove the h5 (heading 5) style from the word Elsewhere in your footer.

2) In your style.css (Appearance > Editor) search for h5 (line 137) which will look like this:

h5{
  position: relative;
  top: -35px;
  margin-bottom: 50px;
  font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial;
  font-size: 1.2em;
  color: #999;
  font-weight: normal;
  border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
  background: #fff;
}

Remove the 2nd to bottom line:

background: #fff;

taking care not the delete the } right after it.

Either of these should fix the problem!

Hi,

What is the URL of the site? The admin should be the domain name followed by /wp-admin

e.g if your domain name was https://example.com it would be https://example.com/wp-admin

Which will prompt you to login if you’re not already logged in.

What happens when you go to that URL?

Great!

Hi,

There are some examples here of generic .htaccess files for multisite:

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Multisite_Network_Administration#.htaccess_and_Mod_Rewrite

You’ll need to look at the sub-domain example, it’s a guess but it looks like your RewriteBase is incorrect.

Always make a copy/backup of your original htaccess before making any changes just in case you need it in future.

Usually there is only a place to comment on the single blog post page. There is often a comment link to the comment form on this page on the Blog page, but no actual place to comment on the Blog page itself.

If you view a single post, and not the blog page, is the comment form there at the bottom?

If not then either comments are turned off or for some reason disabled in your theme.

Hi,

Shipping is complicated in all e-commerce plugins in my experience!

Have you already set the flat rate to be $10? If you edit teh Flat rate, you can set it to be $10 and then underneath an a per item charge of $2 in the Additional Costs. Make sure you select it only for Allowed Countries or select the actual countries you only want that for.

You can’t have a flat rate for international orders too by default, as far as I can tell. You might need the Table Rate shipping extension to be able to do more variations of shipping.

Tax rate is more straight forward. If you set the Base Location to United States – California (under the General tab of settings) then under the Tax tab enable Tax and select Enter prices exclusive of tax, Then under the Standard link define a tax rate for CA.
This should then automatically add that tax irate if the shipping address is set to California.

It sounds like you would need to do a find and replace on your database to replace Websitetestlink.com with the correct URL.

There are plugins to do this but all need to be used with caution as they make permanent changes to the database. However if you have the original mysql file then you can always re-import that to start over if things mess up.

You can also do it in the database via phpMyAdmin if you’re comfortable with SQL, there are many resources out there.

Sounds like your connection info must be wrong now then. Your host will definitely be able to give you the correct connection details.

Hi,

What’s on line 31? It looks like there is something missing, but not in the code you sent through. In the default wp_config.php line 31 is

`define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

Can you post the whole contents of the file, but remove any personal information like usernames and passwords and API secret key stuff.

If it’s really long, use https://pastebin.com/ and add the link in the message.

You could try temporarily disabling all plugins and themes by changing the /plugins folder to /plugins1 and the /themes folder to /themes1

That should allow you to at least access the site. Then visit the Appearance and plugins pages which should tell you they’ve been deactivated, then rename the folders back to the original. Then you can reactivate plugins one by one to see if any cause an issue and use a different theme for now.

Do you have a redirect plugin turned on? I know in the past these can cause this error.

What version of WordPress were you on before the upgrade?
