WP Hosting Australia

The easy way would be to use a plugin like this – https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/duplicate-post/

Otherwise, you could do something with custom fields (or a custom fields plugin) – https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Custom_Fields

Good luck ??

Sounds like you may be able to get rid of this using CSS, but if you share a link to the site I may be able to show you how to fix it.

Also, once you do manage to login – it might be worth deactivating some or all plugins and check if it solves the issue. Plugin conflicts/errors can certainly causes these types of issues.

Hi there,

Omega is a responsive theme, so it should really look much the same on any device.

Try to deactivate some or all plugins and check if it solves the issue for you.

If this doesn’t work, I suggest posting a link to your site so that others can test for you ??

This will likely come down to the form plugin you’re using for the application.

It sounds to me like you have the form and Paypal link separate, so they are not talking to each other.

I’d try something like https://www.gravityforms.com with the Paypal Addon. This will allow a form with Paypal submission in one.

There are other solutions, but this is probably the easiest ??

Hi Mikey,

Thanks for your help with this ??

Our initial investigation suggested exactly as you’ve described. Happy to provide any information you need to help you with development.

Keep up the great work!

Forgot to mention the Codex contains a wealth of information for all WordPress users, novice to expert. This is the first place you should look for installation Instructions – https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Installing_WordPress

Hi Derus,

Your website fonts are set by your theme’s style sheet (CSS file).

Pasting content directly from Microsoft Word will insert extra formatting (line breaks, etc..). You need to strip the Word formatting before saving it to the page.

In the text editor, click on “Paste from Word” (little Word icon) then paste your text. This will strip the formatting for you and enter it as plain text.

You will then need to add your styling to the text (bold, underline, header tags, etc…)

If you need more text styling than your theme’s CSS file allow for, you can install a plugin like – https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/tinymce-advanced/

Hi xtallman,

You’re right, in some cases the end user does need to know some simple FTP and database creation to get started. However, I don’t think it’s as problematic as you describe.

The fact that the end user even downloads the WordPress installation files implies they are ready to give it a go. If they download the zip file, chances are they know they are expected to unzip it and upload the files to a web server. The rest is just like installing a majority of PHP scripts – create a database, edit a config file, and you’re good to go.

If the end user does attempt to install WordPress and they have no technical knowledge what-so-ever, one of two things will occur:

1. The end user will research (this forum, blogs, google) until they learn the process required to complete a successful installation. This is great as it empowers the end user and adds to their technical ability and confidence.

2. The end user will find it too complicated and ask their web host for help or find a host with easy installation tools (ie. Fantastico, zero click installs)

If the end user really wants to get something up and running with zero effort, they’ll just pay someone to do it for them ??

Also don’t forget this is why wordpress.com exists. You can create a blog with no technical knowledge in a matter of minutes. There are some limitations to wordpress.com, but changes are a non-technical end user won’t find this an issue (initially anyway).

This is just my take on it anyway. There’s always more than one point of view ??

Good luck with your installation!

Try disabling any active plugins to see if there is a conflict somewhere.

You could also try uninstalling then reinstalling the plugin to see if that helps.

If the above doesn’t work, post the question on the cforms forums – https://www.deliciousdays.com/cforms-forum/

Login to your site via FTP and look for a file named index.html (or index.htm)

It could be just a holding page stopping you from viewing the front end of the WordPress website. Rename index.html to index2.html and see if that helps.

Hi Katy,

If this is a new installation, try uploading all your files again as it appears the file wp-blog-header.php is missing.

If it was previously working, connect to the server via FTP and see if the file is there, if not, upload it.

@wkor – you’re a genius!

After spending a few hours helping a client migrate a site from a local development server, we had nearly given up… until we found this post!

It seems the wp_user_roles value was a bit screwed up, but your guide helped us fix it ??

Ok, first of all I’d disable the plugin so you can view your site. If you can’t login to the admin area, login to your hosting account via FTP and delete the plugin from /wp-content/plugins.

Next, I would go over the setup documentation again, just in case you missed something, or contact the developers for assistance ??

Hi golferdude,

You will need to look inside your theme files to change this. Depending on the theme, it may be in sidebar.php.

Look for something like:

<ul>
	<?php wp_register(); ?>
	<li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
	<?php wp_meta(); ?>
</ul>

Comment out wp_meta so it looks like this <?php //wp_meta(); ?> or simply remove it ??
