I spoke too soon.
I would like to know do I have to click on the Protect pages when setting up a page?
I have set to ‘protect’ and again it will not let me in.
same message as before. I’ve removed the blocks and reset it with shortcode block and from my phone I get a error.
This is on a live page
https://www.jlorenzo.com.au/erotica/
I should also mention that the themes were all upgraded to ver2 from Imagerly recently and I had to reinstall NexGen. I’m wondering if I need to reinstall your plugin as well?

Kind regards,

Jon

It’s working now on my side too.

Thanks for the assistance.

Jon

This is what I have on the page
https://www.jlorenzo.com.au/password-test/
[/] Shortcode
[ppwp passwords= “123456” whitelisted_roles=”administrator”]
content = Nextgen gallery
[/ppwp]

I’m using Gutenberg as an editor in WP 5.5.3
I’m using PPWP with Partial Protection as I only want to protect by pages.
I do have Use Shortcode within Page Builder turned on.
Sitewide Protection is off
Integrations is off

@digico it’s a single site. It’s my own website and I host no other website.

@ juggledad it’s what I had thought.

Guys since I’ve decided to rebuild the website, my only question is can I pulled from a exported database information such as my blog and if so I assume this exported database has to be imported in MySQL for that to happen. Is this the correct assumption to make?

I have an question ,is the user name and password in MySQL supposed to be the same as the username and password in WordPress.
For example in both there is the same username however the passwords are different. Would that cause a problem?
Let me be clearer
In MySQL there is the MySQL DB and there are other DBs.
The one that is for the WordPress DB has a username and password this matches the WP-confit.php file.
There is also the MySQL DB that took has the same username but a different password.
Would this cause a problem?
I can see how it would since WP confit is looking for a username and password that matches what is entered.

Yes, I can access the database in phpmyadmin and no there are no errors.
Do I have to keep the same credentials or can I change them in phpmyadmin?

update:

I’m now getting a message
Error establishing a database connection.

I’ve changed the database password, re-entered the username
checked wp-config.php file to make sure its right.

Anything I missed?

ok, I’ve emptied the database of the tables and did an import of the website, still same problem.

If I have to rebuild the site is there a way to import the tables such as the blog which is the most important into the new database? if so, what is the command?

Thanks

@juggledad, sorry to be a pain, but where and which xxxxxx.sql file? where would I find it?

@ juggledad, I had a good working WP database before and I dumped it and imported the old site. This caused the problem. So you are saying to deleted the tables keep the database and import old site in the empty database?

No it’s not solved

@juggledad – an update, I installed a fresh copy of WP and it came up okay, no lag no issues.
So the problem has to be in the old website.

Additional information, this server is strictly for running the website, no e-mail, no file and print.
Just images and a website.

@digico – hope you find the issue.

Hi Digico,

I sent a link for you to check out the WP, in dropbox.

Let me know you received it ok.

@juggledad, I’ll do a complete new install and see if that works any better and get back to you.

If you or anyone need to see the site I have it in Dropbox ready to send if I have an email address.

Jon

Which cloud would you like me to put it on?
