Your permalinks are wonky – for instance, your most recent post is pointing to: https://www.rooftoprunners.com/http:/www.rooftoprunners.com/topics/blog
See how the domain is repeated there?
To fix your permalinks, go to:
Dashboard –> Settings –> PermalinksSelect “Day and name” then click Save Changes.
That *should* fix your htaccess file and your permalinks, as long as your .htaccess is writable by WordPress. If not – connect to your web server via FTP and edit the .htaccess file to make sure they include the following re-write rules:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPressHope that helps.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Outdated Servers… Still possible to install WP ?Use WordPress, scrap your host for a new one. Get your site running on a hosting provider that is up to date with the current trends such as PHP5 and MySQL5, etc.
Best of luck!

In reply to: How do you position text on a graphic within a header box?This goes in your Stylesheet (style.css):
#header h1 {
text-align:right;
padding: 155px 20px 0 0;
}Looks like the text “Header” is already in your template file – so that is all you should need to do.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: …Headers already sentUnlike style.css, the functions.php of a child theme does not override its counterpart from the parent. Instead, it is loaded in addition to the parent’s functions.php. (Specifically, it is loaded right before the parent’s file.)
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes#Using_functions.php
What this means for child theme development is that any functions you include in your CHILD THEME functions file cannot duplicate any functions that already exist within the PARENT THEME functions.php. If you have duplicate functions, you will get the dreaded “Headers already sent” error message.
Start with a blank functions.php file in your CHILD THEME, and the error should go away. Then, do some research on Google and in the WP Codex on modifying the functions, using hooks and such…build from there.
Hope that helps!

In reply to: Basic Child-theme questionYou are correct ??
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: How do you position text on a graphic within a header box?Try something simple like:
#header h1 {
text-align:right;
padding: 155px 20px 0 0;
}Position it however you want by adjusting the padding.
Reminder, padding definitions go top, right, bottom, left.
So:
padding: 155px 20px 0 0; equals:padding-top: 155px;
padding-right: 20px;
padding-bottom: 0;
padding-left:0;Hope that helps.

In reply to: [BUG] Analytic code not placed in header in CHIPLIFE THEMEContact the developer of the Chip Life theme and report the bug to them, hopefully they will provide a fix and release an upgrade.
In the meantime, you could paste your full analytics code into your template, manually. Typically, you will do it in the footer.php template, just above the closing </body> HTML markup.

In reply to: Showing Update to a PostPost Revision Display
On single post views, this plugin will display a list of all post-publication revisions, showing revision times, authors, and links to view them. When viewing a previous revision, differences (“diffs”) between the previous and current revision will be shown.

In reply to: Twenty Eleven 1.2 change titel and slogan to a imageIt would be a CSS adjustment.
To prevent the text from showing:
h1#site-title span,
h2#site-description {
display:none
}Then to display an image in that area, instead:
h1#site-title {
background: url(images/your-image.jpg) no-repeat;
width: 266px;
height: 104px;
}You may need to also make small tweaks or adjustments to the existing CSS to make it look the way you want it to, but that basic idea should help you.
However, I would recommend doing this as a child theme and make your adjustments that way, rather than directly editing the CSS of the parent theme you are using – – this will ensure that your modifications will remain when an upgrade to the parent theme is released.
Hope that helps.

In reply to: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS inSounds like a problem with the code found in the functions.php file of the theme you are currently using.
Fastest and easiest way to deal with it is to connect to your site via FTP and rename your active theme folder:
/wp-content/themes/my-theme-with-grass-and-dew
Rename it to:
/wp-content/themes/ERROR-my-theme-with-grass-and-dewThis will cause WordPress to de-activate your active theme and the error message will be gone. You should then be able to login to your Dashboard by going to https://yourdomain.com/wp-login.php
Then activate a different theme (like the Twenty Ten or the Twenty Eleven theme) – which will give you a chance to resolve the issues in the functions.php file of the theme you were using.
Once you’ve resolved the issues in your old theme, you can rename the theme folder back to what it was originally and try re-activating it again.
Hope that helps.

In reply to: Basic Child-theme questionYou have to follow the directory structure of the Parent theme, in the child theme folder.
So, if your Parent theme structure is:
/parent-theme/includes/single.php
Then, to replace the single.php with your own modified version, in the child theme folder, you must create:
/child-theme/includes/single.php
Once you do that, WordPress will pickup and use YOUR single.php and ignore the single.php in the Parent theme.
Hope that helps.

In reply to: Child theme stopped workingLooks like many of your CSS declarations are missing the closing bracket at the end of the definitions.
Yours:
#site-title a {
color: #e3e3e3;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;Should be:
#site-title a {
color: #e3e3e3;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
}Close those brackets and you should be fine.

In reply to: creating a database on CBeyond hostingI’ve never heard of CBeyond, however, if you cannot easily find the method of setting up the database using their interface and they don’t have a FAQ or Knowledge Base that gives you the steps to accomplish it AND their support techs are not answering a question that is simple for them to resolve, I’d consider advising your client to switch to a different hosting provider.
