In reply to: How to Change the Author of a PostIf you want to bulk edit information, here is a link explaining how to do that in the database – https://freewptp.com/tutorials/bulk-edit-wordpress-posts-and-pages/ . Make sure to do a backup of your site and database before making changes in the database. I always run the SQL in preview mode to see what it changes and I run it locally before I execute it on a live site.

In reply to: i have a problem on my .htaccessYou can use either file manager in the cpanel of your hosting provider or something like filezilla ftp software to get access to the .htaccess file and change file permissions. Or you could ask your hosting provider if they can change the file permissions. In general, htaccess should have file permission of 644 which gives owner read and write permissions and group and public users only read permission. Here is a link that might help understand at https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/wordfence-firewall-problem/

In reply to: Homepage broken after I added permalinkYou should be able to do this using custom query. That’s the third line in the example code I posted way above. You need to change the parameters to display the newest blog post.

In reply to: Upgrade to 4.5.1 – Site Not WorkingWhat’s the url of your website?
Also go to Admin Dashboard>Settings>Permalinks and refresh the permalinks by clicking Save. If that doesn’t work, chose another option for permalink, click Save, then go back to the original option you had for permalinks and click Save again. Sometimes, that fixes the issue.

In reply to: Error message so cannot add new postHere is a general post about this. https://davebuesing.com/quickest-possible-way-deal-php-error-wordpress-blog/
He explains on how to remove it. But at end of article he does mention following: I’d start with the likely source of your problem, your server’s recent upgrade of PHP that you ignored because surely nothing would go wrong.
If you were not seeing it before and you didn’t make any changes in code, it could be a PHP version issue on your web hosting site.

In reply to: Homepage broken after I added permalinkDo post here if you got it fixed. I am curious on how you solved it. Are you working live on your site? If so, do post your website url.

In reply to: Move blog posts to specific pageAre you doing this on local computer or on a domain? Please post link if it’s on a web host and I can take a look at it. Also ask your web hosting provider if they do backups. You might be able to recover from an earlier setup if they do.
If your website is new, I would recommend doing a clean install and recreating the whole thing again. I have done this and realized it’s faster to do it this way than try to fix something. But that’s only if you don’t have a lot of blog posts and data already on the site.
Some things I would recommend to do are:
1. Create a local wordpress install and test out your changes there. There are many youtube videos on this.
2. If using local install, FTP or use git push if your web host supports it, to push the files to your account.
2. Install and activate a wordpress backup plugin like UpDraftPlus which backups wordpress if your web hosting provider does not do backups. I would also recommend testing the backups it created after making some minor changes on your site so that if you ever need to recover from a backup, you would know that it works. Using the plugin I mentioned, you can backup on dropbox or google account. dropbox is free upto certain limit.At the very least, do a backup of site so that you can recover if needed in the future.

In reply to: Homepage broken after I added permalinkHave you tried this link
Creating a static front pageI have embedded blog posts using custom queries in front-page.php.
<div class="blog-post"> <h4>From the Blog</h4> <?php query_posts('posts_per_page=1'); ?> <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2> <?php the_excerpt(); ?> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="read-more-link">Read More <span>›</span></a> <?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?> <?php wp_reset_query(); // resets the altered query back to the original ?> </div>
