This is good,

You have three options:

1. Install with Fantastico and then edit the wp-config.php file after the install is complete to point the new install to the old database.
This sounds the easiest

2. Install with Fantastico and then restore a backup copy of the old database into the new database.
This is new to me, and sounds complex.

3. Re-upload a completely fresh copy of WordPress manually using FTP and then create a wp-config.php file that points to the old database
I have read about this and do not feel to comfortable about it.

Number 1 looks the best option for me.
I lke number 2 the best but do not know how or where the db are.
Number 3, a bit technical. I have only used fantastico but I will look further into it.

Thanks Esmi, I was really worried about this; but you have given me good options.

All the best Gordon.

Thanks Esmi,

t is so obvious once you know.

Database is BD123456_7 say. OK.

Now this is I hope the last question. On a new instalation, how do I import that particular database and delete the one Wp allocates you,

Fantastico does not allow you to specify which database to use, nor let you name it which would help clarity.

Nearly there, Gordon.

I agree,

Help me here though, I have a few databases, how can I tell which database will belong to that blog; and how can I add that database to a new instalation?

This is new ground for me, but this could save a lot of problems.

Thanks esmi, Gordon

Do you mean just get them to re install it.

Thanks Esmi, that was quick. How do I send you details. Gordon

Hi,

Thanks for your help. It has taken me ages to work through all this and I have found nothing. I downloaded everything, virus scanned it, nothing.

I will reinstal all my work under a new user name. But first I will need to gain access to the website https://speechforawedding.com/wp-admin

As said at the beginning, when I log in as before I get the error message
“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

I have checked all file permissions, and they are all set at 644. All folders are at 755. So all I need is entry.

Anyway of getting round this “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” anybody seen this before?

Many thanks, Gordon.

i just check more than 5 self developed WP site Privacy is there. all are updated

Sorry I do’t understand, “is there. all are updated”

That is the problem, which one?

I have already started with the secirty ones.

I will keep this thread open until I find out which one it is, for the sake of others.

Thanks for your help Pankaj,

Gordon.

That was then frst thing I tried Pankaj, then I noticed it was missing.

That is the whole point of this thread, it is missing.

And i don’t know why. Has it happened to others?

Any ideas

Gordon

No Pankaj, that is the point, it is hiddens and it is annoying.

I am looking at the Setting on the LHS below the users and the tools.

Are you saying settings privacy is smewhere else?

Thanks Gordon.

Thanks Pankaj,

That takes me to the page I was looking for.

CAn I get this page back onto the dashboard for ease of use.

Thanks Gordon.

Thanks for the advice. In the plugin I have only ticked the one box, however as you say, every upgrade I will have to check. I would have thought is wise of wordpress to design an option into the base program, giving a choise whether to use two columnsor one. There must be many others who want two columns on a post.

The other solution is to simply revert back to twenty ten.

Anyway I was getting concerned. Now onto the problem of tidying up the blog. Thanks again for youhelp, Gordon.

Hi,

I have just found the ideal plugin

Twenty Eleven Theme Extensions

Tried it and it worked first time. It is absolutely brilliant.

So thanks for your help, I did appreciate it even though I struggled.

Gordon.

Child theme created ok.

functions and code entered.

</div><!-- #primary -->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Added to end of single.php

style.css (copy as given)

[CSS code moderated – the link to your site is enough]

functions

[code moderated - please follow the forum guidelines for posting code]

Again as given.

Why did 2011 remove the two columns in the post?
