Thank you Joy,

If I may ask, how does one change change this variable. I’m using the Genesis – Dedicated theme and have no idea where to start.

I have looked through the theme settings and can not see that there is an option to make this change and I assume any change made will also be reset when there is a theme update.

Branko

Thank you. Contacted the host and issue resolved.

Thank you Steve, yes I’m using S2 and have read through the doc you kindly identified.
Now communicating with the member to establish the number of devices used or login shared.

Thank you.

Hi Jonas,
Thanks, its the white space in Gutenberg, shame not to use it especially with the monitors and resolution we have these days. The Classic, was good, but its got a short life now, so no point returning to it.

I think I have the same issue, not sure.
My issue is with the new editor, there is so much un-used white space on the screen around the blocks, how does one enlarge the width of the blocks in the editor.

If it is the above custom css, where is this elusive custom css location.

Does this affect the actual display on a published page. I don’t want to alter that.

Hi,
I have just installed CF7 v5.1.3, registered a v3 reCAPTCHA with Google and when I try the CF7 default form I get the error “There was an error trying to send your message…”. I do get the reCAPTCHA icon floating at the bottom of the screen when the form is launched.
I have checked the Google reCAPTCHA analytics page and no hits obviously.
I am doing the testing with a demo page on the production server as my dev is on localhost.

The default CF7 form without reCAPTCHA works perfectly.

Any ideas.

Thanks.

Hi Shashi Kumar,

All is working well and having some fun making changes to the website.
Again thank you for all your help.
I have 2 questions with one slightly off topic, hope you don’t mind:
1. When I make changes to the website pages and develop new ones what’s the best way to upload the info back into production.
– I could do a backup and simply restore it into production. The problem is that member data could have changed in the meantime.
– I could FTP the changed pages but then what about plugins like S2Member as changes are made there as well.

2. What would you use to export S2Member details to CSV while we wait for S2Member Pro status to be sorted out. I am playing with AmrUsers but can not get it to pull out all member data.

Hi Shashi Kumar,
To make sure that last nights backup to Dropbox worked I persisted with the UpdraftPlus second option by uploading the backup files and restoring them. It worked and all data is there this time.

Thank you for all your help.

Hi Shashi Kumar,
Since I wrote, I have used method 2 from “How do I migrate to a new site location?” as this is where UpdraftPlus said to go. Method 2 was downloading the backup files from Dropbox and importing them into UpdraftPlus on localhost. That all worked fine, then I clicked the Restore button.
Restore took its time and finally indicated that it finished successfully. The localhost/tag disk space grew by some 700MB which is a good indicator, right. Went back to the Dashboard, wasn’t asked to re-login as instructions indicated…
Close examining the wordpress menu’s, the plugins are all there inactive, themes but no users, media or pages.

A little confused now.
There are 6 zip files in total (others, plugins, themes and 3 uploads) . I am not sure now whether the actual database get’s backed up, strange.
I did have a look at Dropbox and it ran out of space with yesterday’s backup so maybe backup did not finish. I have cleaned up Dropbox and re-started the backup and I assume that tomorrow I’ll be able to repeat the process. The UpdraftPlus backup indicates that the database is getting backed up…. so where did it go.
We use S2 Member and none of the settings were brought over either.

Should I persist with the above method or just use your recommendation. If I use your recommendation how do I best get rid of everything that I migrated to ensure its a clean start.

I do thank you for persisting with my issues and this is a great learning experience for me.

Hi Shashi Kumar,
Well I got tired of chasing my tail, so I shut the laptop down and went to have some lunch. Upon my return, I started again, logged into localhost wordpress, back to Media, Add New and now it indicated that 8MB is the upload size limit. No idea how and where that got changed but I proceeded to upload UpdraftPlus and it worked. High five.

Then I went into localhost Updraft Plus and created the Site Key.
When creating the site key a message flashed up saying “Your PHP install lacks the openssl module. After about 20 seconds the key was provided. Various site key’s were created with both 2048 and 1024 encryption key size.
I copied the site key to UpdatraftPlus in production and the Send option became available. I clicked on Send. The production UpdraftPlus recognised the Site Key and advised it was sending to site https://localhost/tag, so far so good. Updraft Plus commenced testing the connection and returned an error message “Unexpected response: Error: Unexpected HTTP response code 404”. The rest of the message is advising to that the firewall is potentially causing the error. I shut down Windows Defender firewall, Avast Antivirus, Melwarebytes and tried again, same error. I restarted the laptop and tried again, same error.

Other that trying one of the other three methods, any thoughts?

Hi Shashi Kumar,
Thank you, all worked well, the WPBeginner instructions were much better than those that come with wordpress.
All installed and appears to be working well.

My new issue is when I try to load the UpdraftPlus plugin I get the message “The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini”. I have checked via the Media Add New and the limit is at 2MB.

I have located the “How to Increase the Maximum File Upload Size in WordPress” doc in WPBeginner but am unable to actually locate the place where to make the change.
I have located the php.ini file in c:wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.23\bin\php.ini where I did find a reference to “upload_max_size’ , ‘2M'” which I changed to 64M but it has made no difference. I have also found the same php.ini file via WAMP menu PHP->PHP.ini and it shows the change I made.

The WPBeginner doc also refers to function.php file. The default theme for wordpress appears to be “twentyseventeen” and in the themes directory I did find the file but it has no reference to upload file size.

I know I’m doing something wrong but can’t figure it out.

Hi Shashi Kumar,
Wow, feel like a fool, I totally forgot to use the localhost to access the install file.
The install appears to work fine now, thank you.

Now my other problem is that I don’t have a database for WordPress to connect to, therefore it appears that I can’t complete the install.

The web site that I want to create the dev environment for already exists and is backed up to a Dropbox account using UpdraftPlus and it looks like the site only has a Backup/Restore licence.

I am now trolling through UpdraftPlus to see how to migrate the site to localhost or should I use FTP. I assume that then I’ll have to go through the WordPress install again to connect to the database when migrated.
Where should I place the site, my structure on localhost is:
www
genealogy site
wordpress
wp-admin
…

Should the dev site be under www or wordpress. Where is WordPress expecting to see the database?.

Hi Howdy_McGee,
It is a PHP site.

Hi Benjamin,

Yes I’m running both of these apps but none of them are auto launched and in both cases I am unable to find the location that you refer to. The versions of my apps are:
Teamviewer 13.2.14327
Skype 8.32.0.53
As I start these apps when I need them should their settings make any difference as they’re inactive and therefore not using a port.

Hi Howdy_McGee,
Thank you for the information.
Yes the WAMP icon is green.
Yes the WordPress folder is under the www folder.
No WAMP has not been moved.

I would prefer not to uninstall WAMP as I have a separate genealogy site running on WAMP with over 4000 images/documents and I’d prefer not to potentially compromise that work.

I have checked WAMP via https://localhost and WAMP indicates that all is well, it even shows the wordpress directory as a project.
