It looks like it might be a conflict with the theme. If you can access your site via File Manager of FTP, rename the wp-content/themes/tripod folder – such as tripod1 or something.

Then you should be able to access your site as it will deactivate that theme. Go to Appearance in WordPress and it should tell you it’s activating the default theme.

You can then change the folder name back to tripod, refresh the Appearance screen and try to reactivate Tripod. Hopefully this time if there’s an error it will give you an error message.

You may want to try contacting the theme author in case it’s a common issue.

Great!

I just chose that font at random, but glad you like it ??

Yes, well it overrides it. You might want to dequeue it anyway as you’re loading a font you’re not using so there will be some speed benefit to not loading it, but you don’t have to.

The way I would do it is in your child theme style.css add the imports for the fonts you want to use. Say you wanted to use Rationale and Underdog, at the top of the CSS enter

@import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Rationale|Underdog);

Then use them:

body.custom-font-enabled {
font-family: 'Rationale', sans-serif;
}

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
font-family: 'Underdog', cursive;
}

You may need to do h1, h2 etc individually if you want to control the sizes. Also depending on how specific the CSS is in this theme you may need to target other selectors.

I was just thinking DISALLOW_FILE_EDITS might be set as well, thanks Mika!

Hi Goran,

Personally I would install WordPress in a sub-folder like /wordpress so you can set it up side-by-side with the new site in order to transfer the content over (you can use a Maintenance Mode plugin to keep it hidden) without losing the current site. Then when ready to go live you can change the addresses in Settings > General to the main URL and move the files into the public_html folder.
You could actually just change the Site Address and leave WordPress in the sub-folder and then just copy the index.php and .htaccess as described in Step 7 onwards here:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

It’s up to you today, if you’re more comfortable just installing it in public_html then do what you prefer.

Re: SEO here are a few ways to do this, but essentially you will want to redirect all the old URLs to the new WordPress version of that page in order to help keep the page in the search engine’s index.

In the .htaccess file you need to do 301 redirects. For example if the current site has a page called https://example.com/contact-us.html but the new WordPress one is https://example.com/contact/ you could add the following to your .htaccess

Redirect 301 /contact.html https://example.com/contact/

That would redirect that page to the new page for visitors and search engines alike saying that page has permanently moved to that URL.

Hi – which plugin is it?

There are many photo gallery plugins and each (at least here on www.ads-software.com) have their own support forum to try to get help.

When you say “nothing sticks”, you’ve changed your theme to TwentyThirteen or another default theme, and the Appearance page says that theme is active. Then you view your site and you still see the other theme?

If so I can only think it still is a caching issue.

Hmm, then it doesn’t think you’re the Super Admin, which of course you’re not as you’re no longer on MultiSite. It’s hard to remove it completely.

I would try deleting .htaccess (take a copy first) and then recreating it via Settings > Permalinks and saving. This will remove the MS specific .htaccess directives.

There are some database tables in the database that need deleting to completely uninstall e.g

wp_blogs
wp_blog_versions
wp_registration_log
wp_signups
wp_site
wp_meta

but try the .htaccess trick first.

At the bottom of this post below Mika suggests installing a clean version of WordPress and exporting the content from your current installation into the new one:

In the past I’ve had to fix User roles in wp_usermeta but that gets complicated ??

What error message do you get when you try to upload? Is the option to Add New there or is it missing?

Most themes by default have the Blog Posts as the home page so it is not directly editable.

If you would like a Page to be the home page, and have the Posts on a separate page, do the following:

– Pages > Add new and create a home page and Publish it. You can add content in a minute.
– Pages > Add new and create a page called Blog, leave it blank and Publish it.
– Go to Settings > Reading and change from Your latest Posts to A static page. In the two dropdowns select your new Pages to be the Front page (home) and Posts page respectively.

The blank Blog page will now automatically have blog posts put onto it. The page you set as the Front page however is now available to be edited and will show up as the home page. So go back to Pages and edit the page you set as the Front page and this will now show up.

I hope that makes sense, let me know if you need me to clarify.

Same here, it seems there is a conflict when the new version(s) of NextGEN gallery is active. Deactivating NextGen allows the shortcodes to work.

Thanks, sorry for the distraction!

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

It seems to be erratic, however I think it’s from my client copying and pasting into the Visual editor.

So in the HTML editor rather than ™ it’s actually showing ™ and when this is in the middle of the keyword phrase it causes an issue.

Not a plugin issue then I guess!

Arne, Great beta plugin by the way, I love it! Working great on WP MS except for one:
https://blogtechguy.com/sitemap.xml
This all looks great but Google Webmaster Tools give me some errors, e.g:
https://blogtechguy.com/sitemap-pt-page-2007-07.xml
It says:
Invalid XML tag
This tag was not recognized. Please fix it and resubmit.
Parent tag: urlset
Tag: br

Some are Tag: b and some Tag: br

I do have a lot of plugins active in case that may be a problem?

Thanks,

Joel
