Make sure you redirect http to https. Here is a guide on how to do it by adding some code to the .htaccess file. https://serverguy.com/servers/redirect-http-to-https/. If this doesn’t work you have to make sure that all internal and external (if the external site has HTTPS) that the URL is https rather than http. This means all pictures as well all link, header images etc. [ Moderated: Redundant Link redacted, please do not post links of your clients. ]. Other than that you can use this plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/ssl-insecure-content-fixer/ that does everything for you. But I had some small problems with this plugin regarding pictures from an external URL which the plugin deleted, so I had to find the picture again, download it and upload it to my site.

Hi aeroman,

To make a backup only for selected number of posts and restore it later on you can actually use WordPress own export/import tool that they have as standard without external plugins.

Just go to Tools –> Export and then select posts. After that you can actually specify it by only exporting posts from a specific category, author or even release date.

I recently did it by exporting a all posts that a specific author has written for a website I made for a client: https://createdby-animation.com/. After I exported the posts, it was as simple as importing it again by using the Import tool from WordPress. It works flawless and definitely something I’m gonna use again.

Feel free to ask me if you have any questions regarding this.

To change the “placeholder text” of a search bar you have to locate the .php file in your theme where is says search bar.

To change the footer copyright information it is usually in Appearance –> Widgets –> Footer bottom center.

Recently I had a similar problem for this website I made https://asento.dk/. Suddenly I couldn’t upload any images at all after I updated WordPress. So first I tried to increase the maximum file size upload to 250mb, that didn’t help. So I tried to manually upload pictures via FTP, which did work, but it is not user friendly for the end user, so I had to find a solution. Lastly I tried to revert my WordPress to the previous version and it fixed the problem. I reverted my WordPress theme to a previous version with WP Rollback: https://da.www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-rollback/

Let me know if it helps.

Hi,

Sometimes I find it easier to make the actual website on localhost and when I’m done, I can transfer the website to the actual domain. When I had to make a redesign for my client https://memoo.dk/ I first made the website on localhost so their current webshop won’t be affected.

I’m developing websites on a Mac, so i’m using MAMP as my localhost database. Afterwards I downloaded WordPress and installed it. After the installation I made sure that my wp-config.php file inside the root folder, matches the information from my MAMP server.

Typically its something around

Host: xxxx (im my case 8888)
Username: root
Password: root (may be different from yours)

Those are just my information for my MAMP server, make sure you check yours so it matches, then your website should be up and running on localhost.
