Thanks Keith.

Is anyone able to shed some light on this? Am flummoxed. Have had a look at other similar questions but can’t see anything with the solution to mine.
Thanks in advance for your time ??

Haven’t yet contacted WP Explorer but the theme sales page does confirm that it’s compatible with IE8, 9, 10…

Sorry if this is not one for WP, I’m never quite sure who to turn to with stuff like this!

Thanks x

Thanks Emsi!

Okay – it was because the site was running on an old version of WP, and when I upgraded to 3.7.1 it beggared everything up.

I have a bunch of old sites which I am just going through and some clients have not been keeping up with their updates – I want to tell them about security risks and remind them to keep on top of WP updates, but don’t want them all to go and do it and break their sites!!

I’ve read various bits of guidance on the forum but just want to check – when updating WordPress (esp when skipping versions) is this the right procedure:

Disable all plugins
Revert to the default theme
Update WP
Re-activate chosen theme
Activate plugins

Will I have to reconfigure the settings on any plugins and themes, or will they ‘remember’?

Thanks for all the help and advice so far, really appreciate it ??

Beth

Thanks again Esmi. A brilliant person sorted me out.

I’m not sure what the problem was yet but will update this thread when I know ??

And will leave Twenty Thirteen installed on sites in future!

Beth

Because the error refers to

public_html/wp-includes/update.php on line 176

would it be wise to copy the original file over the one on this site?

Hmm. Line 176 is

$translations = wp_get_installed_translations( ‘plugins’ );

How about if I deleted all the plugins – I would rather re-install and reconfigure them if it meant I could get into the admin panel.

Do you think this would work?

Thanks! x

I tried the FTP route – renamed the plugin folder ‘plugins.hold’ and tried to login, no joy, same error message.

Then I uploaded Twenty Twelve back to the FTP, renamed the current theme with ‘-old’ at the end, and refreshed the site. The front end has twenty twelve (looking awful!!) but I still can’t access admin.

I went back and took ‘-old’ off the end of the correct theme, but it won’t go back now!

I’m not confident with php myadmin at all, don’t know where to begin with it…

Wow that was fast! Thanks Esmi, will try these.

Thanks so much for all the advice. I’ll try this out asap and report back ??

DOTonPAPER, you wrote:
Hello,

Copy the styles from dop-shortcodes/assets/gui/css/style-dopshortcodes.css to you theme and modify them. Don’t forget to load them into your theme.

Thank you

Do you mean that I should have uploaded the CSS file into the theme folder instead of the plugin folder?

I have just tried this but it doesn’t make any difference.

Thanks!

Jeez, okay well it said it had www in front of it when I bought it, I’m just trying to work out how come it’s not there as it has never occurred to me to change it in WP general settings or anywhere else. Must be magic then.

Thanks for the link.

Yep just done that, it says https:// there as I thought. But I have never actively typed this in myself, and when I actually purchased the domain it said www.
Odd!

Anyway, if I alter this in the general settings now, will it break anything or can I go ahead?
Cheers!
