Hi @wfpeter
All sorted! Thank you so much for your help. I managed to change the path which was incorrect and all sorted.
I really appreciate your time and patience around this.
Cheers,
Tereza

Hi @wfpeter
Thank you for coming back to me. I have reinstalled and sent you the diagnostics page as requested.
I do appreciate that your support is limited with regard to free support and I am sure that I will upgrade to the premium version at some point, it is just expensive when I am just starting out :>).
Cheers,

Hi @wfpeter
Are you able to help any further with this?
I also did a search for ‘staging’ in public_html and it came back with no results but is still pointing to the staging site (although the ABSPATH address is correct), so still cannot correctly configure the firewall.

As the site is now live, I have deactivated Wordfence for the moment and used another free plugin (which I have to say is not as good), but I don’t want the site to be unprotected while I am trying to sort this out. I have also turned off google search engines for the moment.

As I am just starting out, I don’t want to upgrade to premium at this point but will do once I am up and running, assuming I can get this to work.

I also joined the Wordfence webinar on this, but they just said to ask for help, so didn’t get a technical solution!

Cheers,
Tereza

Hi @wfpeter
OK (so very scary not having done anything like this before), I found:
– .htaccess – but there wasn’t anything in there that had the staging or wordfence reference
– user.ini – that had auto_prepend_file= which included the staging reference, which I removed but left the rest of the path as it was
– wordfence-waf.php – which had 3 paths and I removed the staging reference from each one and again left everything else

However, when I click to configure the firewall back in the Wordfence dashboard it is still pointing to the staging site.

Do I have to change it anywhere else?

Very scary changing this kind of stuff when you haven’t done anything like this before!

Thanks for all your help, much appreciated.

Cheers,

Hi @wfpeter
Thanks for your reply.

I had already tried deleting Wordfence from the staging site and from the live and then reinstalling the live Wordfence plugin.

Following your instructions, I have checked the WordPress Settings > ABSPATH and this is displaying the correct live site.

However, when I click on the ‘To make your site as secure as possible to optimize the Wordfence Web Application Firewall – click here to configure’ message at the top of the Wordfence Dashboard.

The path displayed is still showing the staging site and not the live site.

So do I still need to try and change the php settings? I have found the File Manager (the site is hosted by Siteground who do not have a cpanel)but I do not see ‘auto_prepend_file’ – what path would I need to find it?

Thanks

Tereza

I have opened a new thread as requested:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/post-fonts-1?replies=1#post-6635563

All sorted now, thank you for the links.

Fonts all sorted now, thank you.

Sorry I am new to this and being very thick, but I still don’t really understand how the menu works.

I’m assuming that I need to create a menu, then should be able to allocate new menu items to the menu bar and then add pages to those menus. But I don’t really seem to understand the right steps to be able to do this.

I have tried and somehow now seem to have lost the menu bar completely now from under the image on the website.

I went into Edit Menu, created a new menu ‘Home’ but I don’t really understand the menu settings or how I add pages, links or categories to that menu.

Or how to manage the locations – I have put ‘Home’ into the assigned menu but nothing is visible on the website.

I don’t really understand how they all fit together…

Help again, please

Hi
Site: https://500wordsperday.com

Also, I have added an ‘About Me’ page, but cannot work out how to add that page (or any future pages) to the horizontal menu under the image.

Thanks for all your help.

Hi Martin

Being thick – all sorted now. I hadn’t copied the information to the website settings – doh!

Thank you.

Hi Martin
Thank you for your prompt response.
I assume that you are referring to the Twitter Apps Dashboard Setting page – is that correct? But I can’t see a ‘Rotating Tweets page’.

Under settings I have:
Name: 500wordsperday1
Description: Rotating tweets
Website: https://500wordsperday.com/
Next page is Keys and Access Tokens and the information that you refer to is there.

Am I looking in the right place?

Or should I be putting this information into the webpage?

Sorry, I am obviously being very thick about this.

Thank you for all your help.

Cheers,

Tereza
