I would now like to have links on the 404 page to some of my pages as well as recent posts.

I have never learnt php.script. Would you be able to give me some pointers please?

Would it have to be something along the lines of the code for the posts?

ie

<?php the_widget( ‘WP_Widget_Recent_Posts’, array( ‘number’ => 10 ), array( ‘widget_id’ => ‘404’ ) ); ?>

I have copied that from the Admired 404.template

Yes I am doing just that, having learnt my lesson ??
As I said in my original post I made the changes to the parent 404.template, instead of the child theme, by mistake.

I am slowly learning.

Ahh, thanks WPyogi. I didn’t realise that I would be able to access that file by saving to my hard drive. But that has worked Thank you.

Now all I have to do is make my edits without affecting the existing code. I want to change the wording and add a couple of links; here goes. ??

Thanks AITpro. Actually I deactivated Theme my Login and BulletProof Security (and a few others) just after I made that last post and the login conflict seems to have been resolved.

However I still have the issue of the login boxes. As I initially said I prefer the Login with Ajax sidebar widget, but I can’t seem to work out how to have it as the only login facility. The WP-Members login still appears in the body of the page but I don’t want the WP-Members login to appear at all. I want to deactivate that part of the plugin.

I love the user control that WP-Members give me with the site, but I would like to know if it is even possible for the plugin to work with the login box deactivated.

Hopefully someone will be able to steer me in the right direction.

I’m sorry I forgot to thank songdogtech. I did contact the web host and they helped me with the issue.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I now have a problem with what appears to be a conflict between Login with Ajax and the BulletProof Security plugin which I recently installed. Users are unable to reset their passwords because when they click on “Get New Password” in the Login with Ajax widget it doesn’t load properly. It just “hangs” with the wheel going around incessantly.

I have deactivated BulletProof Security, but the problem still exists.

If I delete the plugin will that remove all the files that were created during its installation or will I have to try to isolate all of those files and delete them manually?

I have installed plugin Grand FlAGallery and it looks as if it will be very good. However I am having trouble uploading images. I have been following the tutorial here https://codeasily.com/wordpress-plugins/flash-album-gallery/grand-flash-album-gallery-wordpress-plugin-video-tutorial
but the step “Import Image Folder” doesn’t work.

I have checked the permission for the gallery folders and they are set at 0755.

My website is a members only site. I have reset the settings and I have deactivated and uninstalled the plugin, but the problem still occurs.

I would appreciate any advice you can give me.

Thanks

Thanks strangerstudios I have installed Theme My Login and it looks as if it will do the trick for me.

I have already installed the Better Emails plugin and it certainly does create a better looking email, however I still don’t know how to add extra content (ie text) to the email.

Again, thanks for your help so far and any more you can give me

Ok. I have set up the site use the Admired theme and with wp-members for the user access control. I have turned off registration because I am registering all members of the group myself and sending them their username (their membership number of the organisation) and password. I have checked the box to send an email to the newly registered member with the username and password.

However the email directs them to a generic WordPress login box instead of the home page of my site(or a special login page on the site) which I would prefer. Also there is no “covering letter” text in the email, just the username, password and the redirect link. I assume that I would need to change the .php at some point, but as I don’t know or understand .php I thought I should check here for advice.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Oh cool. I wasn’t sure if something that simple would be secure enough, but I’ll give it a try.

Thanks for your help strangerstudios

Yay! Updating the permalinks seems to have fixed things. Thank you for your help.

How bizarre…when I click on anything I get 404 errors. I am totally confused now.

Agh! The whole site is coming up with the 404 error now. Why?

Agh! The whole site is coming up with the 404 error now. Why?

Thanks for your suggestions bsutcliffe. I know virtually nothing about php so am reticent to touch anything there. However I did insert the code you recommended and it has hidden the error message, but as you said it hasn’t solved the problem.
