In reply to: Missing a temporary folderThat sounds like a php configuration issue.
You likely will experience issues uploading themes, media, and plugins.upload_tmp_dir
is the directory used for temporary storage while uploading through PHP.Contact your host and have them verify or set the
upload_tmp_dir
configuration in php.ini.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Infinite Scroll not workingI am unfamiliar with this particular theme, however, I can tell you that there’s a JS error on your homepage that may be related…
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) https://coolthingsaddict.com/wp-content/themes/Webicator/js/min.jsHowever, since Webicator is a purchased theme, you should probably contact the theme authors for support. The Webicator homepage states “Contact us at support [at] webicator.com,” try giving them a shout to see if they can help you figure out that error.

In reply to: Strange Website TitlesYoast’s SEO FAQ describes two potential solutions to this issue :
Edit header.php and change the title element to just this:
<title><?php wp_title(''); ?></title>
Or enable “Force rewrite titles” on the SEO -> Titles & Metas page (which has a performance impact on your site).

In reply to: Moved localhost wp to live, but not all images have moved?Did you copy the entire uploads folder to the remote server as well? Have you verified that the missing images do indeed exist on the remote server?
If the images do exist on the remote server, but they aren’t loading in your content, it could be that you need to replace the image source references in the database, changing from localhost to the remote url.
Do you have an example link on the remote server?

In reply to: analytics script showing on webpagesHow did you “install the script” exactly?
Looking at the HTML source, it appears that you have inserted the entire <script> snippet that Google provided, into the Google Analytics by Yoast plugin’s “Manually enter your UA code” input.
Try logging into your Dashboard, go to Analytics -> Settings, remove whatever you have inserted into the “Manually enter your UA code” input, and enter just the property ID of UA-55489639-1.

In reply to: Switched Servers – lower level pages not workingYou say you migrated to a new server. Could it be that you need to re-enable permalinks and add the appropriate .htaccess file?

In reply to: Fatal error can't open page please helpIt appears that the “WooCommerce Products Per Page” plugin is triggering the error.
If you have SFTP access, you could manually delete “WooCommerce Products Per Page” from your plugins folder, that should stop the error message, and your site should function again.
It looks like you’re running an older version of that plugin (1.1.0.1). Once your site is running again, you could try installing the latest version of the plugin, 1.1.2.

In reply to: Redirecting URL MixupIt sounds like you have replaced your original working wp-config.php with the contents of wp-config-sample.php, which has messed up the database connection.
It might be best to contact your host to have them assist you with restoring your DB connection. Ask them what your database name, database user, database password, and database host should be set to, and set those constants appropriately in wp-config.php.
Your host * might * even have a nightly backup from before you overwrote wp-config.php that they can restore. Some hosts do that for free, some do it for a small fee.
The permalink settings can be found in WordPress Admin under Settings > Permalinks.
Two Codex resources that I would recommend reading before changing the structure :

In reply to: Adding categoriesThat depends on how the theme was built really.
If the theme provides a page template that doesn’t display the title directly on the page, that would probably be what you would want.Otherwise, if you’re comfortable with writing a little CSS, you could write a rule to hide the title on the homepage, and use Jetpack’s Custom CSS module to insert that styling rule.
Off-the-cuff example:
body.home h1.entry-title { display: none; }
Of course the above example would likely need a little more work for your specific theme, I just whipped that up while looking at Twenty Fourteen theme.

In reply to: Rss feed not displaying full post textHi Lesia, I don’t believe a plugin is required to achieve this.
The full text feed setting is part of WordPress core.Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: restoring broken image linksI’m unsure how Dropbox is being used in this scenario.
Are you running a plugin that creates backups of your site directly in Dropbox?
Or are you manually dumping files into Dropbox as a form of manual backup?

In reply to: How to make text change colour, while hovering?You need some CSS styles with a :hover pseudo-class to handle that.
For instance, assign a class of your own creation to your
<span>
, then in your css you can control the color attributes of that class. Here’s a off-the-cuff example…Example Markup:
<span class='martial-arts'>Jujutsu</span>
Example CSS Styling:
.martial-arts { color: #999999; } .martial-arts:hover { color: #d62441; }
Depending on where and how your class is used, and how the styling of your theme and plugins are defined, you may need to increase the “specificity” of the selector for it to have the desired effect.
