I haven’t figured anything else out about it, sadly. Good luck, and of course please report back if you work out a fix!

Is there any way to do this? Or is there a better forum I should start this topic in?

Thank you!

That worked for about five seconds! I could get into my dashboard, but not into ‘settings’ to change back the URL from the WordPress end.

Moreover, the database table jumps back to the bad URL after a few seconds.

I think what’s happening is that the database is pulling the information from WordPress, overwriting the changes I’ve made in it manually. Is there a way to stop it from doing this, or even pausing it?

I should have said, I’ve cleared my cache and deleted cookies, of course.

I clicked on a specific post from my Google Reader feed to try to get in from there, but I receive a ‘too many redirects’ error.

I looked here:

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Login_Trouble#Site_URL_Redirecting

Where it says: “Check the siteurl value in the wp-options table of your WordPress database. A guide to doing this is available here.”

“Here” links to https://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/, which is an empty page, at least to me. I’m not sure how to do this.

Switched theme so this is no longer relevant.

Ack, that’s embarrassing – that should be https://www.planestrainsandplantagenets.com/ – sorry!

I thought I had fixed it, but it also removed the featured images from the home blog page – I only want the featured image gone from the top of each individual post.

That worked a treat – thank you very much (and thank you for creating the great theme)!

Thank you! I gave that a try before posting the thread but I think it cocked up my theme, which uses Javascript.

The website I’m looking at is https://drinksinthediningcar.com/ – there are a few posts up but they aren’t appearing on the home page, although they were before I tried the fix.

I’m still having this issue. I’ve noticed the ‘featured image’ button isn’t working either.

Never mind – found it in a .com support forum: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/change-header-image-size-on-fresh-and-clean

Leaving this here in case anyone else has the same question. The answer was to insert the following into style.css:

#branding {
background: url(IMAGE URL GOES HERE) 0 0 no-repeat;
min-height: 300px;
}

(it’s set for a height of 300 but obviously can be changed to whatever the proper height is)

Ooh, never mind, I figured out a workaround – I just downloaded all those files, zipped them up and uploaded the file to WP.org as a new theme. It took all of five seconds.

Thanks again for pointing me to them!

Ooh, thank you very much! That looks useful.

Unfortunately I know exactly 0 about SVN and it turns out my command line skills aren’t that good as I’ve been unable to figure out what to tweak to create the changes I’m looking for.

I guess I’ll have to wait for the .org version to be updated while I keep poking at the CSS, which is annoying. Thank you for the link, though – I’ll keep trying to figure out how to make it useful.

For the record (for people searching for this in future), I found it! Under the first tab of the Bulletproof Security plugin page, “Security Modes”, there are buttons titled “Create default .htaccess file” and “Create secure .htaccess file” that do what they say on the tin.

If anyone has the css for the .com version, I could try to recreate it in .org – does anyone know how to find that?

Ah, that makes sense – I’ll have a poke around there. Thank you very much for your guidance!
