In reply to: Blog theme & structure change & lost linksThis is a fairly long list, but it will ensure you’ll not lose anything and that all links out in the Internet will be gracefully transferred to the new theme and site.
I don’t think you’ll lose anything when you switch to the new theme, but here’s what to do if you do:
1. Before the change make a list of every current post and page on the site. This list is literally your insurance.
2. Swap to the new theme and check several of the old posts and pages, ideally all of them. if you don’t test all of them then at least try typical links in different categories.
3. If any links are broken then make a list of all of the new post URL’s then switch back to Kubrick.
4. Next create a text file that will ultimately be added to your .htaccess file. In this text file make an entry for each of the old posts that looks like this:
redirect 301 /oldPageName/ https://www.YourDomain.com/NewPageName/
5. Switch to the new theme again then download the .htaccess file in the website root folder. Save it as .htaccess ORIG, then copy its contents into a new .htaccess file.
6. At the end of the .htaccess text add the 301 redirects that you created.
7. Upload the updated .htaccess file.
8. Try each of the URL’s that failed before. You’ll see that they redirect to the new page in an SEO friendly way – meaning the SEO value of the old pages will be transferred to the new pages within a few weeks, maybe months, but it will not be lost for good.After this, if all is broken, upload the original .htaccess file, go back to Kubrick and examine the issues one at a time.
Hope it helps…

In reply to: How to “preview” the blog on my main pageAre you talking about the screenshots or icons to the right of each post on that page? If so, a graphics app can get the icon you need, then just plug it into your page.
If you are talking about actual blog content then you can write PHP code to access the WordPress database and show whatever you want to see on the other pages of your site.
Hope it helps…

In reply to: PHP has encountered a Stack overflowIt usually means the code on the page behind that link is in an endless loop. Look at all of the PHP code on that page for while, for or foreach loops, then look into logical conditions that may cause the endless loop.
Hope it helps…

In reply to: Website with special featuresI am thinking hand-coding will be required. I have been using WordPress for awhile, searching plugin lists and I haven’t run across this functionality yet.
You may find it by doing Google searches for “best wordpress plugins” or “member non-member wordpress plugins” without the quotes.
I think you’ll end up trying several plugins before you find what you want. I’ve had to do it myself for other special features. It’s generally quick to do so in WordPress.
Hope it helps…

In reply to: Convert WordPress Theme into HTML TemplateThe first note is that you still want to use .php files instead of .htm or .html. This is because it allows you to use active code (database, email, etc.) or includes (see below).
Browse to your pages then click the menu items View > Source to get the code. That is almost what you are looking for. Next, separate out the common code sections (header, footer, menus, etc.) and include them in each content file using code like this:
<?php include('header.php'); ?>
You do this to make sure that when one of these code sections changes you only need to do it in one place. Otherwise, simple site changes will force you to make the change on every page – bad deal.Once you have done this you can plug content into each individual page.
If you want to be found in the search engines then you need to consider search engine optimization (SEO) concepts. Now is the time to do that.
Hope it helps…

In reply to: Cant upload audio or images to pagesMaybe see if your .htaccess file is redirecting the page? You can check the http header to see what happens. Do a Google search on “read http header” without the quotes to find some tools to do this.

In reply to: Converting Static HTML Site to PHP so I can run WordPressIf you don’t currently have index.php as a possible home page then that is true. Make it the first item in the list for better WordPress performance.
If you are on a Linux server then you need to make 301 (SEO friendly) redirects from all old pages to each of the new pages. If you don’t do this then it can take months to have all of the new pages recognized by the search engines. Use the .htaccess file to do this most efficiently.
Hope it helps…

In reply to: Create a post with pre-existing dummy content?You might try something similar to this in your loop code. I have simply added the else section to the logic:
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>
<?php the_content(‘<p class=”serif”>Read the rest of this page »</p>’); ?>
<?php endwhile;
else
// place default code here
endif; ?>
Haven’t tried it, but it makes logical sense.Here is an example of simple tab code that works fairly niftily:
https://67.199.78.149/1/
Note that is it at our old site, hence the IP address.Hope it helps.
