In reply to: Unable to access website or admin to loginHello dw2014,
Try manually resetting your plugins (no Dashboard access required). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.
If that does not resolve the issue, access your server via FTP or SFTP, navigate to
/wp-content/themes/
and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).Hope this helps,

In reply to: Removing the top menu entriesHello Chuck,
This is definitely something you can take care of!
- Go to your admin dashboard, then Appearance > Menus
- Click “Create a New Menu”
- Name your Menu
- Add only the items you want to your menu
- Under theme locations choose “Primary Navigation”
- Save
Your menu will now only have what you decide to show!
Hope this helps,

In reply to: Table Remnants after deleting ingHello elindydotcom,
When you delete a site in WordPress it removes it from the site menu, but doesn’t actually remove it from the database. In order to delete the tables of removed sites or even plugins you generally have to remove the menus manually.
You can try and see if there are any plugins that remove the tables for you, but I would make sure you have everything backed up before trying every plugin.
Hope this helps,

In reply to: email problemsHello jonq8787,
When you get the emails from your site, are you replying to a contact form response, or something like a lost password email?
If it is a contact form request, you could check to see if it is setting the reply email to [email protected] instead of where you would actually like the reply sent to .
Hope this helps you,

In reply to: Trying to work on a second websiteHello BKemperor,
When you browse to the new project does anything come up?
Generally when adding a new WordPress you should do the following:- Create a new database and username
- Edit your new websites wp-config.php to include the new database name and username
If you have done all that try browsing to the install.php file, which should be something like: localhost/foldername/wp-admin/install.php
Here’s some other helpful support topics that might help you out:
Multiple local installs of wordpress under wampserver
How do I set up a second site in a WAMP localhost install?Hope this help you out!

In reply to: Best practice for departmentalizing content using WPHello galder56!
I don’t know how easy it would be for others, but you could take a look at using a mix of BuddyPress Groups and SP Project and Document Manager.
There are several other BuddyPress Groups plugins that would allow for document sharing, pages, forums, and even group-specific blogs.

Depending on your company’s pocket size of course, I’m sure there are some well done paid plugins that might better meet your needs.
Hope these suggestions help!

In reply to: How do I blog with my existing website?belvue, you are not hopeless we can figure this out!
Let’s try something else real quick, create a new Page, give it a title and leave the content blank. Then go to Settings > Reading.
With the very first option, set your Front Page to Phantom, or whatever your current home page is, then set your Blog page to the new page we just created above.
Then view your new page, do the posts show up properly there?

In reply to: How do I blog with my existing website?Belvue,
I’m guessing you have a static front page and you still have the blog page correct?
If that is the case, you should be able to go to Settings > Reading
The first option on that page is Front Page Displays. You will want to select A static page, then set your homepage to you current landing page, and then your posts page to blog. Test it out and see if that works!
Here’s a good article to help you see some visuals.
All the best,
Kevin
