Actually, we have not yet figured it out. The url still only shows the shortcode as the error message about API resources persists: https://www.petercorvallis.com/ideabook/

How was this resolved?

I think I figured it out.

I think it occurs when activating a plugin that allows file management access from the WordPress dashboard.

This generates an .htaccess file in each subdirectory with file permissions of 777.

Just a guess. ?????♂?

Cheers.

Enjoy the day.

It would be excellent to have a way to filter by match %, especially if admins could select a user and sort by highest match percentage to help match profiles manually.

Howdy.

I was able to work with WPEngine and get this resolved. Thank you for responding though & I am going to see if I can turn on WP.org notifications should I continue to post and / or respond to other’s threads moving forward.

I meant copy and paste the following snippet ( it’s not a shortcode ) above to the bottom of your active theme’s functions.php file.

Additionally, delete it from the functions.php file once you are logged in per the WPBeginner link I referenced for solution number 1.

Likewise.

Found your listing on Jobs.WordPress.net and I signed up for a WordPress account just to answer this question at no charge given your situation.

Mr. Santos is exactly right though. As long as you have access to the hosting account, there are at least 2 ways this can be done I have used many times.

1. Add a new admin user via File Manager or FTP if you have access with the following shortcode to the bottom of your active theme’s functions.php file:

function wpb_admin_account(){
$user = ‘hobuser’;
$pass = ‘hobpass’;
$email = ‘[email protected]’;
if ( !username_exists( $user ) && !email_exists( $email ) ) {
$user_id = wp_create_user( $user, $pass, $email );
$user = new WP_User( $user_id );
$user->set_role( ‘administrator’ );
} }
add_action(‘init’,’wpb_admin_account’);

OR

2. Add a new admin user or simply locate an existing admin account in PhPMyAdmin in the wp_users directory under the Browse tab on the top left and view the username & password to log in with on yoursite.com/wp-admin if no security plugin has been installed that modifies the default WordPress login url like WordFence for example.
