Thanks, but as I mentioned above I’ve already gotten in.

Looking in my restored DB, i see 38590, the version for 4.7.4, which is what I restored into. I was looking for a way to see the version of the database the backup came from, so I know where to start the many step restore process.

If there isn’t a way to find this, am I better off erring on the side of picking one that is too old or too new?

Thanks

Is there a way to tell the version number of the backup. It mostly restored into 4.7.4, I can see posts, pages, etc., especially if I use a more current theme like 2017, 2016 even 2015.

Anyway, is there some place in this data that I could see the version it was backed up from, it was a long time ago, and I just not sure and it sounds like it matters.

The version the backup was taken from is old, from 2010, around 2.6.or 2.7 I think.

The version of WP it was restored to is 4.7.4. I don’t know that it makes a difference, but since it’s so old I thought I’d mention it.

Thanks, I got in, though not through the project link on the localhost page.

I’m curious why that doesn’t work and how to fix it, but there’s another issue you can help me with. There are many links from one post/page in this site to another post/page in the same site. They take me to the 404 page of the Chinese site. I know I can go edit all these links, but is there a way to do it more efficiently?

I also got an Internal Server Error when I clicked on a comment.

BTW, this is from a very old WP blog, 2010, probably WP version 2.6 or 2.7 IIRC

That was the one, thanks.

I put this in the “additional CSS” and it did seem to make the white section below the footer smaller vertically, but the icons are still touching the top rather than centered vertically.

Here is the Jing capture of the display of the first slides in the slideshow:

This is what it looks like after the second slides are displayed. It looks like this from then on.

When I made the change you suggested: “Set height to match tallest slide” the widget boxes are all the same size, but the social icons are displayed at the top of the div like in example 2.

I know it’s minor but it’s annoying.

Thanks for the quick replay.

That makes the two widget boxes the same height and they stay that height throughout the slideshow. BUT, now the social icons start out at the top of the white space below the footer, rather than moving to it on the second slide.

@childthemestyles
That did not work at all, I got a white page with nothing on it.

Line 40 of archive.php in Twenty Seventeen is:

get_template_part( ‘template-parts/post/content’, get_post_format() );

In my child theme, I replaced get_post_format() with “excerpt”

I did the same thing in the child theme version of index.php (line 45)

I got this advice here on this forum though I can’t remember the author and I can’t find the post.

Thanks, wphelpcenter, that did the trick.
