There may be something wrong with your core files of WordPress. is_active_sidebar happens to be a core function, it is not specific to your themes. The themes just happen to use the function. If there is an error stating the function is missing, then it is missing from your core files.

How did you upgrade WordPress? Manually or via the “Upgrade” button in the admin area?

If you click on the “Screen Options” tab in the upper right of the page edit screen you should see a checkbox to enable viewing “Revisions”. Once you check that, you should see the revisions listed at the bottom of the page. Keep in mind, there are some plugins that alter the number of revisions.

And a great photographer you are. Nice pics.

You happen to have a lot of javascript files included(from plugins). It is normal to have many, but this is quite a few. That’s ok, but the thing with javascript (or jQuery) is that when there are a lot of uses, sometimes there is a name conflict somewhere or a version conflict. (jQuery runs most of your special effects and has core files, which like WordPress, gets updated.)

All it takes is one and when that error is thrown, regardless of which file does it, everything suffers.

Are you sure you deactivated all the plugins?

That’s all I can think of?

Usually, things just don’t “stop” working. Something happens, even the slightest change, that triggers an issue. The WordPress files just sit there. However, both themes and plugins can interact with the core files which can cause issues. (Malware also affects files keep in mind)

You have to retrace every single change including updating your theme, wordpress, plugins, touching the file editor, etc.

Can you provide a link? Maybe there is something on the front end we can see?

Have you tried activating a different theme? I know if the site is not in demo that is not always possible, but it is the best way to see if it is a theme-related issue.

query_posts uses the same parameters as WP_Query. You can view them here.

Scroll down to the custom field area and you will see how to do what it is (I think) you want.

You don’t orderby points. You would orderby ‘meta_value’. Then use ‘meta_value_num’ to let WP know you are dealing with numbers.

I would personally create a unique page and use WP_Query instead of query_posts.

You may have javascript disabled on your browser. Google how to turn that off based on which browser you use.

All of the things you are mentioning work with javascript.

You are welcome! This is a great community!

If you don’t have anything really started I would simply start over with all the files on the root.

Just wondering if you are aware that you don’t need to have wordpress in its own folder? The root level of the website looks like your hosting control panel?

If you want to be able to send people to your site at https://terouma.net, run 100% by wordpress, then you might want the install on the root rather than in a sub-folder.

I may not be understanding your full layout though.

Well, your installation still thinks you are on the root. I assume you moved everything to the /wordpress folder, but did you remember step #3? (Changing the url in the settings panel?)

If not, you can go into your database and manually change that path in the options table IF you are comfortable doing that.

To be honest, I am not sure that this is a native function of WordPress? Has any user forwarded you one of these email reminders so you could verify they are from your site? Do you have a plugin that does this?

There would not be an error like that in the core files.

Did you recently upgrade WordPress?
If so, that message means you need to have your server upgrade their PHP to version 5.2.4. Some hosts allow you to change this in the hosting panel. Others you will need to call to adjust it for you.

If you need to wait for your hosing you can try going back to your previous version of WordPress.

If you do not see the option in the left column for “Settings” then they have likely given you access using a lower role. If you do see “Settings” then go to “Settings > Discussion” and adjust as needed.

If you do not see “settings” then you will need to ask for an administrator user level login.

FYI – in many cases if you have no posts in a certain category, that category will be excluded from the list. Of course, every theme is different and it depends on the method you are using to list categories.
