If so then its a css issue. You may have got a quicker response if you’d posted in Themes and Templates forum.

From what I can see, it seems to be coming from the following id:

#sidebar-right ul li a{
     padding-left: 16px;
     padding-bottom: 5px;
     padding-top: 6px;
     border-bottom: #c0c0c0 1px solid; <<<strong>Here is where its coming from </strong>
     color: #333333;
     background: url(images/bullet-orange.gif) no-repeat 3px 12px;
}

Hope this helps

Just remove or edit the border bottom declaration

Are you referring to the links in the RHS bar?

Hi ipears

Thanks for the reply…

I am aware of these settings. However, even if I set it to ‘Your latest posts’ setting it STILL shows the static page that I had previously set it to. Could this be something to do with the static page file name being home.php?

I’m also convinced that whilst creating the static homepage (creating my own templates), Ive written over some vital page in the root that is required to run the blog (containing the loop). As I am newish to wordpress, I’m a little lost with the situation…Help ??

Can I supply more information for help on this matter?

RE: My original problem. Whoops sorry. I totally forgot to post the link to the blog site I’m developing!

Hope somebody can shed some light on this matter…

Hi Paul

I referred to the following link to set up my static homepage:

https://www.wordpressmax.com/customize-wordpress/custom-page

There is a detailed step-by-step ‘how to’ video. The example uses an older version of wordpress but the principle remains the same.

You can set your ‘front page display’ to ‘a static page’ via the ‘settings’ tab in the dashboard in the latest version of wordpress.

Hope this helps.

Worked a treat thanks moshu! Great tutorial – very clear and concise. I’ll be checking out your site more often ??

Thanks Moshu ?? I’ll give it a go and let you know the outcome

Well – what do you know!

I just deleted the admin directory from the server and re-uploaded a local copy and I can now login to my admin dashboard! I think between resetting my URLS for wordpress and re-installing the admin directory worked wonders! Thanks to Otto42 for that excellent link (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_The_Site_URL ??

Phew – thanks so much for all your help guys . I’d be grateful if somebody can tell me where the wp-content/cache is still ?? I’m sure you will be hearing from me in the not too distant future!

Can anybody tell me where to find the wp-content/cache folder?

I followed this article to the bullet point ??
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_The_Site_URL

I managed to do everything apart from clear the cache (last point) as I couldn’t find it.

I can now view the blog (its not perfect but its there) but can’t login as still getting a 403)

https://cyonix.co.uk/wordpress/

Could this have anything to do with not clearing the cache? Or could it be bacause the admin directory was overwritten with a local copy yesterday?

I’m thinking it may be easier for me to re-install and but not over write the WP-content folder…

Thanks

Hi kmessinger – I tried to login but get a 403 error ??

I am going to access the db through phpMyAdmin and try and change the url that way. I will let you know how it goes…

Thanks

Hi Otto42 – I expected it was that but hadn’t a clue where to start to fix the error manually. Thanks for that link – I’ll take a look.

Hi kmessinger:)

The url is https://cyonix.co.uk/wordpress/.

I have since overwritten the wp-admin directory and a few of the root files from my local drive to the web server. Still not working. Ive also noticed that the styles and formatting have disappeared. I previously set the homepage as a static page and included the header, sidebar and footer.

The error seemed to appear when I changed the wordpress url and wordpress blog in settings/general to https://cyonix.co.uk from https://cyonix.co.uk/wordpress…(silly of me I know ?? I had also been playing about with permalinks and .htaccess – but it seemed to work fine at first.

I do appreciate your input kmessinger – hope you can shed some light on this…

Is there any more info I can provide for somebody to try and help me? I am at a total stand still and trying to search for solutions but can’t find anything:(

Hey Rosie:) yes I followed these intructions when I first installed. However, I can’t even get to my admin panel now as it keeps throwing up a 404 saying wp-login.php cannot be found on the server.

I’ve tried replacing wp-settings.php with a local copy – no joy ??

WordPress content is located here /var/www/html/wordpress/ on my server until I am familiar with the application.

I think the error is something to do with me writing a custom permalink: /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

I then changed the wordpress and blog URL to https://www.mydomain.co.uk – this seemed to throw something out but I cannot figure out what it is. Do you think it could be a DB error?
