  • Hahaha. Maybe the web host fixed the problem for you. We’re happy that your site is up & running again!

    Also @etcbbu, was it the .htaccess code that worked? Or was it something else? Kindly mention what worked so that this thread may help future users. ??

    Glad to hear that @etcbbu!

    ) I should simply edit the .htaccess file that is on the root of my website, correct?

    2) And then for all of the code you gave me, I should just simply begin that code on the next line, right after
    [L,R=301]
    , correct? So like, it’ll be this:

    Yes.

    If that makes your dashboard work, then fantastic. If it doesn’t then proceed with disabling plugins..

    Hi @etcbbu

    1) Here is what my .htaccess on my root folder of my web-space reads:

    Is this it? It should also have the following:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    Add the above code if it is not there. This might just get you in.

    I do not know how I can edit plugins at all. Is there a way I can do it via FTP?

    Yes, you can edit plugins via the FTP. Just login to the folder where WordPress is installed. Look for the plugins folder and inside it will be plugin you want to edit. You will need a text editor for the same and we guess you must be aware of that.

    /wp-content/plugins

    …maybe AKISMET and one or two other minor ones

    We don’t think Akismet may cause such a redirection. But disabling all the plugins might help.

    How can I deactivate or even delete these?

    Do not delete them. The easiest way to disable them is by simply renaming the plugins folder. Go to the WordPress installation, look for /wp-content/plugins folder. Simply rename the plugins folder from plugins to plugins.deactivate. To enable it again, simply rename it to it’s original form ‘plugins’.

    Plugins can also be disabled via the database if you have the phpMyAdmin access. Please google for it.

    Unfortunately, from what you explained above, it is not very clear as to what may be causing this. But working on each of the above point individually might help. Just don’t mess with the wp-content folder (and the database), and you won’t lose any of your content. If the above don’t get you in, then only a closer look into this can help solve it.

    Good luck!

    Trying to open this URL https://www.ktravisj.com/blog/perfectlyincomplete/wp-admin redirected us to
    https://www.ktravisj.com/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ktravisj.com%2Fblog%2Fperfectlyincomplete%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

    Don’t know exact reason for this, but as per our knowledge, this seems to be an issue related to one of the following:

    What may be causing this:

    1. .htaccess (a line of code can lead to such redirection)
    2. Plugin redirect (a security or maintenance or redirection plugin can cause such redirection)
    3. SSL redirection (have you added any ssl redirection code? or has it been added automatically?)

    Possible solutions:

    1. Review each line of the .htaccess code for any URL redirects
    2. Check for any plugins causing this
    3. SSL redirection (redirecting all https:// urls to https://)

    Example code for SSL redirection (this redirects all https:// urls to https://):

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

    Talking to your hosting provider about this can possibly help. If they can’t help you for some reason, try getting in touch with a WordPress developer and he/she will fix this in five minutes. Ask around, you will surely find a friend who knows one.

    Hope this helped. ??

    You’re welcome.

    I did in fact mean the latter, that I want to be able to edit the font in the front end.

    Okay, noted.

    So I added Advanced TinyMCE Visual Editor and then, as i couldn’t see an option for editing font size.

    • Hoping that you have installed TinyMCE plugin and activated it correctly.
    • Do you atleast see these options (Screenshot 1)? If yes, then TinyMCE is installed and activated correctly.
    • The Font Size and Font Family options have to be added via settings.
    • Go to Settings > TinyMCE Advanced > Drag & Drop them
    • Here’s how: Screenshot 2 > Screenshot 3
    • Then in the editor, you’ll see it like this (Screenshot 4).

    PS – If all this didn’t help, then please upload snapshots of what you see or any errors you experience.

    Hi Eliot,

    The Visual Editor Font Size Plugin just lets you change the font size in the visual editor. As quoted by the plugin author himself –

    This setting doesn’t affect the font size your users will see. It affects only you.

    We installed the Plugin, and we too don’t see any option to change the font. It is because

    • It has to be enabled by clicking on Screen Options.
    • Then as shown in this screenshot, (you will need to scroll down a bit) you will find the highlighted section.
    • So, now you will be able to increase or decrease the font size for your own viewing inside the WYSIWYG editor. That’s all the plugin does.

    So, we guess, there’s some misunderstanding here. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

    • Change font size for yourself in the visual editor (that is what the plugin you installed – Visual Editor Font Size – does.)
    • Change font for the front-end of your website so that site viewers can see it

    If you’re trying to accomplish the latter, then as we said before, please try using one of these.

    I do not know whether I am at the correct place for this question.

    You’re in the right place. ??

    I am running WordPress 4.1 with the Minamaze theme. I have got 2 areas on my website firecorp 1475 which needs to be password protected with a member log in just like the WP admin system.

    I do not want them to be able to log into the WP admin only these 2 areas.

    The areas are: –
    1) Important Information
    2) Price list under fireproducts/Fire Equipment 1475

    You can accomplish this by using a plugin which allows you to assign custom user roles. There are plenty of them. All these are from the WordPress Plugin Repository:

    I can not seem to get it right. I do not know whether it is the WP version or the theme, but it does not seem to work.

    The theme has little to do with the functionality of WordPress. Most themes will give basic functionalities like a nav bar, side bar, logo upload option, colour variations, etc. While some might give you additional functionalities like, say, a dropcap, or a special quotations mark. When you talk about some custom changes/functionalities you want on your theme, then you just need to add a plugin which talks with the WordPress installation (core files) and allows you to do what-so-ever you wanted to do.

    This is working perfectly, but I can only register a max of 10 members on the free account.

    One or more of the plugins we mentioned above might be useful.

    To understand more about User Roles & Capabilities, please see this page.

    Hope this helped.

    We just checked your URL for any malwares/viruses using the Google Malware Diagnostics Tool and also on VirusTotal, but there isn’t any. So, you don’t need to worry. We don’t see any malicious ad on your website either.

    You may particularly see on it on Internet Explorer because of some add-on or plugin you may have installed on your browser.

    You’re welcome Miro. Yeah, probably.

    We’re sure your determination will take you a long way in life.
