Oh, and someone told me I should de-activate all plugins before doing the WP Version upgrade, then re-activate the plugins, one by one, testing the site ‘live’ with each one to make sure we can find the one that’s got issues (if we’re unlucky enough to have one)

What do you think?

Thanks Cube!!

I notice you say ‘backup of the files that make up the site, but the database as well’ – To a newbie like us, what’s the difference?

Hi Yogi

Okay, I changed our PW, deleted the other admin, & assigned the content to me as another user

So we should be the only admin access now I believe.

thanks heaps!

Hi Yogi

Yes, I do have backend access.

The other admin did some possible content/stuff perhaps?

He changed our Woocommerce somehow to Allow sales without member signup/logins – which we did not have before.

Other than this, I dont think he added any ‘content’.

BH

Okay, I logged into that http – it says:

Attention Interested in functions, hooks, classes, or methods? Check out the new WordPress Code Reference!
Resetting Your Password/

There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, or search the related logs, but you do not have permission to create this page.

Do I now log into:

Codex tools: Login

?

Okay, thanks Yogi, we are getting on to it now.

Once we set the new password for our admin, will that ‘lock out’ all previous admins from out site?

BH

Yes thanks so much lee jose.

In dashbd there was appearance/customizer where I could edit footer/title easily & update.

Thanks hugely.

Thanks Lorro

You’ve been a big help.

The WooCommerce Plugin has an option to “Allow Guests” to buy, which means a student can either create and account, or just proceed to checkout, however, when we changed the settings to allow this, it didn’t work, it just blocked us and demanded a Username, a Password, and a zip code (it wouldn’t allow any zip code). Frustrating.

But if you have a look at a similar site (www.australianonlinecourses.com) I don’t think you have to create and account to buy a course from them.

BH

Thank you Dan! You’ve been a big help!

Okay thanks Jack, you’ve been a big & awesome help

I’m also hoping that upgrading solves this page editing issue I’ve been having, where I CAN edit a post, or a course/product page. But it wont let me edit a normal website page eg. contacts, about us, home.

When I click on the ‘page edit’ part, no text ever show up to be edited – I try Visual Composer as well, but nothing! – it just comes up and says:

Welcome to Blank Page

You Have No Content Yet! Add Some…

I opened the file with Wdpad : It says:

<?php
/**
* The WordPress version string
*
* @global string $wp_version
*/
$wp_version = ‘4.0’;

/**
* Holds the WordPress DB revision, increments when changes are made to the WordPress DB schema.
*
* @global int $wp_db_version
*/
$wp_db_version = 29630;

/**

*
* @global string $tinymce_version
*/
$tinymce_version = ‘4104-20140822’;

/**

*/
$required_php_version = ‘5.2.4’;

/**

*

*/
$required_mysql_version = ‘5.0’;

Okay, I had a look at the file.
It says under properties:
