Forum: Localhost Installs
In reply to: Install error: cannot connect the localhost MySQL databaseYes, you should be able to install WP without root access. It all depends on how your server is configured. But if you do not have MySQL installed then it will not work. Contact your server admin and ask about MySQL and see if a database can be created for WP to connect to. This really has nothing to do with WP, it is a server setup question.
Forum: Localhost Installs
In reply to: Install error: cannot connect the localhost MySQL databaseNo, I’m pretty sure you would need root access to install MySQL. I doubt you would need it to install WP. Are you sure MySQL is not installed? Are you creating the database in PHPMyAdmin before running the install?
Here is my tutorial on installing WordPress locally, the steps are essentially the same to install on a server: https://xcartguru.com/tutorials/wordpress-tutorials/installing-wordpress-on-your-local-machine/
Does that help at all?

In reply to: I deleted my Los Angeles: Header (header.php) FileWhat do you mean by no way to edit? Can you describe what you encounter? Are the file permissions set properly?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: I deleted my Los Angeles: Header (header.php) FileCan you just copy the code back into the file and update?
Are you saying that you have a copy of the code that you deleted, or a copy of the entire header.php file?
We need more info in order to help.

In reply to: how to resize the website logoVasugi,
I have created a step by step video tutorial for you. I think it will cover everything you want to know:
https://xcartguru.com/tutorials/wordpress-tutorials/wp-quick-tips/editing-the-wordpress-logo-in-a-bootstrap-based-theme/ -12:14calaimo,
There is a lot to read on that page. I can imagine it might look scary. I would try the section on Changing the URL directly in the database.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: how to resize the website logoThanks for posting the link!
Here is the HTML that controls this section:
<div class="col-md-4"> <div class="logo"> <a href="https://athanmedia.com"> </a><h1><a href="https://athanmedia.com"></a><a href="https://athanmedia.com"><img src="https://athanmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/athan-media-logo-copy.png" alt="Athan Media"> </a></h1> </div> </div>We need to adjust a CSS rule that is limiting the size. The rule uses Media Queries so it take precedence over other style that are applied.
Look through your style sheet : https://athanmedia.com/wp-content/themes/novelty/css/bootstrap.css
See line 621:
@media (min-width: 992px) {This is the media query that defines this section applying all the styles contained within to any screen width larger than 992px.
Line 652:
.col-md-4 { width: 33.33333333333333%; }See above, the div that contains your logo has this class assigned, constraining it to 33% width of the page.
Now the best way to fix it would be to not change the Bootstrap CSS, but rather find the theme’s php file that controls this section (likely it is header.php), and just remove this class from this div, and assign your own class that you can go on to define in your style.css file.

In reply to: Glitches with logoLuan,
Thanks for including a link.The logo does not disappear for me! Unless you mean when the page reloads?
If I visit the home page, then click the button Showreel, there is a brief moment while the page refreshes that the logo does go away until the page is done rendering. This is normal behavior.Now your site does appear to use a theme that has a transition effect applied to page loads. IMO it looks cool, but it may be accentuate the loading effect for you. There is a JavaScript that runs on your page and it effects this div:
<div id="layout" style="opacity: 1;">
This is the main page container on your site and it affects everything except the <body> background.Its possible that you could remove your logo from this div, put it above the div, and then position it back with CSS. Since your template is responsive that is going to take a lot of work to do it right.
The JavaScript that affects this layout div is https://luanhallvfx.com/wp-content/themes/Attitude/assets/js/jquery.theme.js
You could comment out that piece of the script:
th('#layout').animate({ opacity: 1 }, 500);But it is a cool effect. BTW the site, and your work, look awesome.

In reply to: Trying to change login image, please can someone advise?Remember to always add a link to your site so we can look at the code on the page.
I would change this style in a CSS file, not in the PHP code. Echo an inline style just seems wrong in 2014. ??

In reply to: Hiding youtube top info barralphonz,
What you are using is a shortcode. I have provided you with the correct format above. If you are intent on using shortcodes and yet still want this effect achieved, you are gong to have to code this functionality into your theme. Unless you can find a theme or a plugin that already has this possibility. Perhaps someone will chime in with such a suggestion, but I have searched briefly for it and could not find anything.
You see, in order to use a shortcode, someone has to write PHP code to make it work. You can see for example at WordPress.com they do have this feature, because they have code that parses this string and looks for the showinfo flag.

In reply to: Hiding youtube top info barSays nothing about hiding the top bar either that I can see.
If you do not want your visitors to see the top bar and you can’t educate your client, I guess you are going to need to write some code. ??

In reply to: Reduce mysql queries to improve site speed?1. yes, less queries is always better. A good host should certainly be able to handle 67 queries! I run sites that generate much more than that.
2. Without programming skills you are out of luck. I’d hire a developer. Even with programming skills, if these requests are coming from multiple plugins, they will have a hard time combining them. Its not exactly an easy thing to try and do. ??
Adding more plugins is not the answer… Reducing them might be.
Try turning some things off.I suggest a dedicated server, if you really have the traffic to demand it, a dedicated server from an excellent hosting company will do the trick. I recommend SSD hard drives, nothing compares with the speed boost you will get.
