Stef (a11n) (@erania-pinnera) I would love to have a popup rather than just embedding a hard form in every single blog post (or having something in the widget bar on the right).

Is there any possibility to get a popup going for subscription where I can change the text (it is just not true that people can “unlock content” when they subscribe, all content is already unlocked) without a block theme?

Thanks

May I ask what widget you use? Couldn’t figure out a decent work around. Or so you mean you just disabled the pop up and use a widget in the sidebar for signing up ?

Dear Ann — unfortunately not :(. Tried to switch my theme to another block theme, edit it, and then switch back to my theme, but the changes weren’t permanent. Do you know of a solution?

Thanks, will let them know!

Stay clear from PHP 8 folks (I went back to 7.4 which fixed the problem).

Thanks George — how would you clear cache? It’s really odd because I get an error message for my newest blog post, but not older ones (they are coded exactly the same way, literally no difference at all).

Thanks Steven. Just to make sure: there is no way to register a new user without having the administrator password if the option is turned off, correct? That would be great cause for concern, and I am taking the appropriate measures now described above.

This is super helpful, thanks!

Thanks George. I made them “authors”. So “contributors” have fewer rights? Couldn’t really find a list of what category of users have what kind of rights. Again, I don’t want people to actually log in (I post stuff for them), I just need the accounts with email & name so they appear as authors of the posts.

Fantastic, thank you!

Thanks for helping.

The table generated from your WordPress plugin comes with a number of buttons. To disable these, I can use

datatables_dom=”false”

From the description of dom, I still don’t understand why this is, or why dom has anything to do with the buttons. But ok, it seems to work. I don’t have this from the datatables website, but from a help request on a forum.

However, datatables_dom=”false” also deactivates the way to order columns. I don’t understand why, and column order is not mention in the dom readme. Given my limited knowledge about javascript, I don’t know what this means, or how I can rectify that.

Now, https://datatables.net/reference/option/columns.orderable looks great, thanks. However, the language here (I assume java script) is not the one you use for the table layout.

For instance, the code needed to disable paging is
datatables_paging=”false”

but the website you link to says
$(‘#example’).dataTable( {
“paging”: false

In other words, the help you link to provides help in programming language A when I need to write the code in language B. I find that a bit difficult :). So, while I’ve read https://datatables.net/reference/option/columns.orderable but I don’t understand how I can insert that into the code snippet in another programming language.

datatables_orderable=”true”

does not work, neither does

columns_orderable=”true” or

columns.orderable=”true”

Thanks again.

Yes, I understand. I’ve looked at dom before posting.

If I enable any element — be it “l” or “f” or “t” or whatever — I see this element, and additionally I see the arrows to sort things alphabetically.

What I do not find is an option to *only* enable how to sort things alphabetically. Do you know how I would do that? Thank you

Yes, as I said above: “I cannot find _dom there, just dom and that seems something entirely different.”

In other words, I have no idea how to use the information provided on the site to disable the buttons but not disable the ability to sort the table.

Thanks for your help Meitar!

My provider says:

“This is a warning about our own signed SSL certificate that appears when your domain has no own SSL certificate. But it should only show when you try to access your website via HTTPS. Does your website think you can reach it via HTTPS?”

So I don’t think my provider thinks their certificate is expired. And I run 4.6.1 out of the box, so I didn’t enable any HTTPS stuff. Thanks for your help!

Thanks sterndata. I struggle with your recommendation to “use a different prefix”—maybe you can clarify.

So in my normal blog blabla.com the info in wp-config is this (I edited it somewhat):

// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘123torvon’);

/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘123torvon’);

/** MySQL database password */
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘x’);

/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘123torvon.mysql-xxx.com’);

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

In my new https://www.blabla.com/bla/wordpress folder in ftp explorer, there is no wp-config file (yet), only wp-configsample, but I assume the new wp-config file will be created from this. There is not yet info in this file obviously.

So what to do now? Thanks!
