Hi Mike,

Thanks for the fix, it’s working great.

Angela

PS: is there a shortcode for who’s online, because I think I used the visitor-maps shortcode and that’s why I didn’t get the stats to be visible.

Help? Someone?

Thanks Clayton, but I think I have it figured out. It turns out that on Macs, I need to enable the ‘Apply the option to all enclosed items’ option in addition to make the file/folder writable.

Angela

Any suggestion?

Ideas? No?

I later changed the files to be 777, but still no luck. I think the issue may not be related to permissions. Maybe it’s my htaccess rules?

Angela

I don’t understand why I’m not able to write to any files. Mac is unix based, and from what I can see, htaccess and wp-content both have 755 permission. Why am I not able to write to any of the files?

Angela

Well, I found a migration tool (SSMA for mysql) that allows me to migrate a database from mysql to sql. However, I’m worried that sql query in plugins and wordpress are written in mysql language, and may not be compatible with windows sql server. Should I worry about that?

Angela

I haven’t yet to find any plugins that support this function, I’d appreciate if someone can point me to the right direction. Thanks.

Angela

I placed the function into functions.php, where there was a list of admin_inits. A plugin would be fine, except that I was suppose to make changes to all contributors, so this might be a little easier. Thanks.

I checked the folder, and it seems like both the .htaccess file and wp-content folder is readable and writable if accessed from my account (I’m performing a local installation with XAMPP), but only readable by other groups.
So, I need to figure out how does WP attempt to write the file, on whose behalf to be more precise? If it’s accessing via my account, then the problem should be something else. In addition, I do notice that XAMPP do ask me to enter my administrative password when moving files.

Angela

I see, but the issue is that I really need to add a start counter. Can you assist me with writing such a function?

Angela

I am so stupid, I didn’t notice that I missed a htaccess file. I created one, now it’s working fine.

Angela

I tried, but it didn’t seem to work even with the IP address (private IP). Could this be a htaccess issue?

Angela

Yes, everything in the backend is working perfectly fine.
