In reply to: [All-in-One Video Gallery] All videos no longer workThe problem turned out to be a change that required all my links to begin with https:// . I went in and added that to all my video links and they came back to life.

In reply to: [All-in-One Video Gallery] All videos no longer workYes, I’m using FTP hosted videos. But when I click on edit and look at the page, there is no double link. It says:
VIDEO: https://www.garypollak.com/wp-content/Gary_Videos/a-lie-to-die-for-excerpt.mp4

And yes, it worked fine before for months. Something changed on its own.

In reply to: [All-in-One Video Gallery] screwed something up, help!The second option fixed it (the single category setting was set to nothing)! Thank you so much for the fast response, I really appreciate it.
When I select “show category,” it doesn’t show me the category name at the top of each page. Instead, under each thumbnail I get all the categories that that video appears in (which is something I do not want).
If it’s a theme conflict, it’s not that big a deal. But I’ll submit a ticket, thank you.
Video excerpt was already checked. Those work fine. It’s the category header at the top of each category page that is not working.
For the second question, the CSS code you sent worked. I can now see the category description in white.
But the category name does not appear (it used to appear, in black, before I added the CSS code that changed the text to white).
Update – the category description appears on the category page (although it is still in black text). But not the category name.
Thanks! This works great except the Show Category Name shortcode no longer works (it used to appear as black text that I could see if I selected the text, now it is not there at all)
OK I see what the problem is. The shortcodes are in fact working. The problem is that my site has dark blue background color scheme, and the black text is not visible against the background.
So next question, is there a way to change the text color to white (and change the size while I’m at it)?
Thanks!

In reply to: how can I link directly to a file?I resolved the issue by just renaming the troublesome page, and the forbidden page error went away. I don’t know what the issue was (I tried renaming it back to the original name after, and the error returned), but it’s gone now and it all seems to be working. Thanks all for your help!

In reply to: how can I link directly to a file?Nope, no htaccess file. Also I found others with this same “Permalinks won’t save custom settings” problem:

It’s only one page that has the access forbidden issue, and new pages I create seem to work OK, so I might just rebuild the problem page. But it sort of irks me that it doesn’t work, and I always worry I’m just working around a problem that might pop up again.

In reply to: how can I link directly to a file?OK, weirdness. I tried resetting the permalinks. Now one of my subpages works again, but another still gives me an access forbidden.
Then I went back to the permalinks page. I noticed that I can’t get it to save the permalink setting to use the Custom Structure option (using the variable /%postname%/), which is what it was set to when the site was in the original location. I keep changing to to Custom Structure, hit save, but then it reverts to the POST NAME option.

In reply to: how can I link directly to a file?Thank you. I moved the WordPress files and folder to the root, reset the domain to point to the root, and it did restore access to my other folders! However now the home page of my site comes up fine, but all the sub-pages come up as either forbidden, or completely blank. The pages are there when I edit WordPress, I just can’t get them to display when viewed on the site. Is this a permissions issue? I don’t seem to have an htaccess file (I tried turning on hidden files in my ftp, no htaccess file appears). Not sure how to fix this. I know how to set permissions if that’s what it needs, but I don’t know which files/folders to change them on.

In reply to: how can I link directly to a file?I think the problem is with my ISP, 1and1. When I installed Wprdpress, 1and1 installed it inside a folder named app156347036. Then when I finished building the site, I had to change the webspace destination setting (via a control panel on 1and1) from the root to app156347036. So I guess it can no longer see any files outside that app folder.
If that’s the case, is there a way for me to move my WordPress install out of the app156347036 folder and onto the root? Then I could restore my domain’s destination settings back to the root, and I would regain my access to my other files. In theory.
Any idea of this would work, and if so, how to do it?

In reply to: how can I link directly to a file?Here’s a screen grab of the folder structure. I had to put this file in wp-content just to make it accessible. It’s the stuff outside the wordpress folders that I want to be able to access.
