Hey @angeladesign,

Ok I think I have a good handle on what’s happening here.
The Search bar on your Products page does deliver results, but the tag links underneath do not.

Let’s use “Bright” as an example:
If I go to the products page and type in Bright in the search bar, it takes me to the page – https://www.seacole.com/?s=Bright – which displays search results. This page is generated by the WordPress search system automatically based on the keyword entered.
If I go to the products page and click on the Bright tag link, it takes me to this page – https://www.seacole.com/product/bright/ – which is telling WordPress to find a page called Bright in the back-end, since it doesn’t, you get the error message.

Would need more time to rewrite your code, essentially you want your tags to direct to the search results page (domain.com/?s=keyword) instead of an actual WordPress page/post.

Hope that helps ??
If you absolutely run into a roadblock with updating the code I may have some time over the weekend to help out…

Hey @svigue1234567,

Ok, so if the standard wp-admin url doesn’t take you to the login page, you can access the login page by going here – https://sarahvigue.com/wp-login.php – then click Login with username and password at the bottom.
Looks like you have the plugin JetPack setup? This is what may be causing the issue, try disabling that temporarily and see if the issue continues.
I highly doubt it is theme related, so I wouldn’t bother setting up a new theme if you took the time to get the Huxley theme just the way you want it!

Hope that helps ??

Hey @scottacock,

Interesting issue…
From my understanding, the www.ads-software.com self-hosted platform is compatible with a number of versions of PHP and should work with both 5.6 and 7. You should know, that PHP 7 will soon become the new standard, and you may likely have to switch up to 7 in the near future.

From what I know, there isn’t anything hard-coded into WordPress to tell it what PHP version to install to. As long as it is within it’s compatibility range it should work.

Curious, if you install WordPress in an entirely different folder on the same server, do you encounter the same issue?
Have you tried removing everything in the mysql database you setup? There could be an entry in the mysql database about the previous PHP version used to install…trying to think about all angles.

I’m sure we can figure this out!

Thanks
Jordan

Hey @cm2017,

For file folder structure, you seem to have things setup correctly, each sub-folder containing an instance of WordPress.
Following that, each instance of WordPress requires a separate mysql database and wp-config.php setup.
Can you confirm that the database and wp-config.php setup is separate from the main site?
Was the demo site an exact replicate of your main site? If so, maybe you need to do a find and replace command in mysql to change myexistingdomain.com to myexistingdomain.com/demo1

If you can supply some specific links I can look into it further.

Hope that helps ??
If you have any follow up questions feel free to ask!

Hey Gibson,

I wouldn’t recommend using Sucuri and All in one WP Security at the same time as it can cause conflicts and issues for the website. One or the other is good ??

The only service I’ve use similar to ManageWP is a concierge service provided by WPUP. They supply security, backups, maintenance, support, etc.
You can find more info here – https://wpup.co

Hope that helps!

Hey there @xpdev,

I took a look at your website and did see the “/>” in the top left hand corner.
The characters cascade across all pages, so we can rule out anything page or post related.
I will guess that the exact set of extra characters can be found hard-coded in the header.php file of your WordPress theme, and removing them should fix this.

If you don’t have FTP access you can try the WordPress file editor, which you can access by going to Appearance > Editor, then finding the header.php file in your theme folder.
If the file is not writable, you’ll need either FTP or some server-side access to remove the characters.
PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL! If you remove anything other than those exact characters you can kill the entire site! So I strongly recommend backing up the site before proceeding.

Hope that helps!
If you need help with the above just let me know ??

Thanks,
Jordan

Hey there @ry4nster,

Widget Context is a great tool!

In the spirit of supplying you some variety, I’d also like to recommend “Widget Logic”, which also let’s you set what widgets get published on posts or pages. You can have really customized sidebars for every single page on your WordPress website and you only have to work with widgets, so super easy to manage as well.
You can find more info here – https://en-ca.www.ads-software.com/plugins/widget-logic/

Hope that helps!
If you have any further questions don’t hesitate to ask ??

Thanks,
Jordan

Hey there @dcngibson,

Website and WordPress security is definitely important these days.

The article on Hardening WordPress is a great resource, but can be a bit tricky and may require some more advanced experience with WordPress and PHP, etc.

I’d like to recommend a few options for you specifically for security:
1) Sucuri has an excellent WordPress plugin for security, you can install it and set everything up through the plugin and it has a great track record! You can find more info here – https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/sucuri-scanner/
2) iThemes has an equally great plugin for security, and like Sucuri you can install and setup the security settings directly from within the plugin. You can find more info here – https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/better-wp-security
These options are more DIY, but can deliver solid results.

If you’d like a more full service solution, I recommend https://managewp.com – they have security, WordPress updates, backups, notifications, etc.

I hope that helps!
Feel free to ask follow up questions if needed ??

Thanks,
Jordan
