Hi Threadi,
sorry for the slow response! I have been off travelling.
Thanks for your info. I should have explained my needs better, but I was worried that if I went into detail, most people would not go the distance and switch off! So yes, all my images are watermarked so that it makes them pretty much unusable without a lot of photoshopping. So then I have quite a few non-profit conservation groups that I give images to, so they can currently get their images for free (coupon code) but the site still looks commercial with a full sales interface. So that’s what I am wanting to change. I might check out that woo commerce info. Many thanks, Bruce

Thanks very much. Sorry I am so useless at coding!
regards, Bruce

Yes! So WHAT was the code you added? Would be nice to provide an answer here!!! :-0

An update – I have fixed the upload issue! I reset the max-file size in every conceivable file including the theme functions.

The upload of media is not quite fixed – it seems that perhaps the images are uploading, they are just not generating thumbnails in the upload window or in the media library. Full size images are in fact present.

Is there a way to force thumbnails? A much easier question!

Ok,just read about it. I think I am ok! Not really a free trade thing!!! ??

Hmmm, interesting! I might have to look it up! So much for free trade!!!

Hi Jackie,

No, I don’t have any other server programs. But all is ok! I have the new install working well and am redoing the website! It might take a while, but I am already seeing extra little enhancements!!!

Hi Jackie,
I have conceded defeat as far as trying to get the old website going again and have done a new install. It’s not too hard to reinstate everything to get back to the point where I had been, since the old WP copy shows me the theme and plugins that I used. I also scrolled through the MySql database and dug out my text for reuse.

Many thanks for all your help and also to Lyle for his contribution. Maybe I can return the favor one day when I work all this out!!

Happy Mother’s Day!!!

No worries! I have all evening to play with it, although there are limits!

Hi Jackie,
that’s what I thought, so I wonder why it shows that as an error message! I am doing a reinstall now and will start from scratch, so lets see if it does it again.

Hi Lyle,

yes, I did try that but it breaks the links in WAMP and I get “an error in the Aestan Tray Menu”…

Jackie,

I might delve further into the Ports and see what I can find. I have looked in what I thought were the obvious places, but will look again. Failing that I can just do a new install. It might be quicker to get back to where I was the second time around!
I did play with that once, but even with that I got one odd thing that seemed to go contrary to the instructions that I read. When I created the new MySql db it immediately indicated a problem and said that there was no table. I have never seen that before!!

Anyway, more fiddling. Thanks so much for all your ideas. If I work it out I will let you know. cheers.

Just thinking – if I copy and paste the old ‘data’ folder into the new MySql folder, yes, it does show as a db. I don’t know if it’s working however, because then I come back to that error message that I mentioned in the first post above.
Not sure why it can’t load the page when I try to run it in the browser, but usually, I thought that when it comes up with localhost:8080, it indicates that it is looking at Port 8080. I don’t have that Port configured, just the standard Port 80. Maybe if I could track down that 8080, it might solve the problem. Not sure.

No. It’s a new installation and there are no db’s. The full wamp site (= Xampp site) was copied and placed in a separate drive and so I have explorer access to that data only.

Hi Jackie, many thanks. My only problem is that when I originally removed all the files to a new location, I didn’t actually export the db. So I don’t have the db in that exported format. I have it simply in the original directory structure… in wamp it is in \data. I just tried zipping that directory and importing to MySql but I get an error…
‘#1064 – You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘??MARIALOGe??E1$’ at line 1″
Maybe I am zipping too much! Not sure!
