Forum: Developing with WordPress
In reply to: Using PHP in WordPressHi keenanwl,
The best way to do this is to create page templates based on your wordpress theme. Customize the page template however you want with your custom PHP code.
Now create a page in wordpress using that page template. That should do the trick.
If you need more info, do ask.
Here are a few links:

In reply to: Can’t find posts1. Are the posts visible on the mainpage? If so, do the posts disappear from the dashboard or the mainpage after logging in?
2. Can you access your plugins page after you login?
If so, try disabling all of them and check, if it works, try activating them one-by-one to isolate the issue.I believe this could have resulted because of upgrading wordpress or one of its plugins with incompatible versions.

In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionChecklist!
1. Is the mysql daemon running?
2. Open file ‘wp-config.php’ in the root directory and verify:
– Database Host: ‘localhost’
– Database Name: ‘wordpress’
– Mysql User: ‘root’ //Considering you are using wp for testing purposes.
– Mysql Password: ‘*****’ //Your mysql root password.

In reply to: RSS Error all the time, Fresh InstallationThis is a weird problem!
I just tested my feeds from 2 blogs and they are fine! (2.7.1)
It cannot be a problem with the MySQL charset. Open the feed files (wp-rss.php, wp-rss2.php, wp-rdf.php and wp-atom.php) and check if they are consistent with the original files from the package. Sometimes improper uploads can change file contents.
Apart from that I cannot think of anything else that could go wrong. Try FileZilla (https://filezilla-project.org/) to upload the files this time.
Hope it works! ??

In reply to: Installation bringing up error 403 – forbiddenOk. Check two things:
1. Is wordpress folder uploaded directly under the root of your domain or under a sub-directory?
I think this is the problem. You have uploaded wordpress to a folder named ‘WordPress’ under your domain root. Which means that you will have to install wordpress by: https://www.simplyforparents.com/Wordpress/wp-admin
By doing this, your blog address would become https://www.simplyforparents.com/WordpressIf you don’t want that happening and you want the blog directly under https://www.simplyforparents.com then copy all the files inside the “WordPress” directory and copy them directly to the domain root. (Right where the “WordPress directory is present)
Now you can install by using: https://www.simplyforparents.com/wp-admin/2. Check the permissions of the directory.
Change the permissions of the directory that wordpress is installed to chmod 755.

In reply to: Missing part of installation?Your problem could be:
1. Theme related: The theme you are using may not have the comment form where you expect it? (Highly unlikely; but probable)
2. User-related: Are you (very) new to wordpress? Its possible that you are not looking in the right place to post your comments. By default, (almost all themes) do not allow you to post comments on the main page. You will have to click on the Post Title or a text-link at the end of the post which takes you to the page where you can comment.
Hope this helps! ??

Forum: Your WordPress
In reply to: New To WordPress & Looking For FeedbackDepends upon the kind of content you serve. Looking at your website right now, 5 posts (not excerpts) is a good choice you have made.
If you begin to write longer posts which span pages, you could enable excerpts.
Enjoy your experience with wordpress. I’m sure you’ll love it. ??

In reply to: getting lot of junc mail on websiteYou mean you are getting a lot of spam comments?
If you haven’t yet, activate the akismet plugin that comes bundled with wordpress. Else, you could also try several other spam fighting plugins from the plugin repository: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins

In reply to: wp-cache plugin – is it really needed?Well, before an upgrade I suggest you could clear the cache, disable the plugin.
You can re-enable the plugin after the upgrade.
And after that, you can go back to bed ??
