Ok, I figured it out. I just had to give the Iusr account permissions.

Ok, however, that sounds like a major pain. Is there a way just to fix the inconsistent file permissions?

What should the permissions be…this is a windows server?

There’s a plugin for that!

1. People build websites(develop what their site looks like) with JUST WordPress(no Boot)
2. People build websites(and manage content) with JUST Bootstrap(no WP)

So saying they are entirely different is like saying a claw hammer is entirely different from a ball peen hammer. It’s really just a matter of perspective.

I’m not asking about the micro-perspective. I’m talking about the macro. For a company of say 20-50 people, should they build their website based upon starting with a framework (bootstrap), or should they build their website based upon starting with a CMS/blogging engine?

However, I do see what you are saying. Isn’t every website at is heart just a “basic brochure”? Also, isn’t every “advanced” website advanced fuctionality “on top” of that basic brochure? So perhaps that is the crux of what you are saying and the answer then which I would interpret more to timing. Starting with WordPress usually makes the most sense. However, if you need advanced web site components, folder those with a foundation.

No, but I’ve searched the internet and there is not a lot of people that have wrestled and written about this issue and its actually a very important issue. Its not about “living without a technology”…so how can I get both.

It comes more down to what is the “best way” or “tool” to build a website and obviously the answer is going to be different between say a small mom and pop shop as compared to a fortune 500.

Do you use a CMS that has been modified over the years to output a descent website with themes and plugins ?

or

Do you start with a foundation with themes and libraries?

So if there is a link out there to a paper, blog, or article that discusses the benefits like cost, versus complexity, versus flexibility, versus speed, I haven’t found it. We tried to educate our small businesses that WordPress is the way to go and they are coming back to us telling us Bootstrap is the way they are going…and it threw us for an unexpected loop and we found no real discussion on that topic. Its one we had to wrestle with as well. So I know it’s not unique. I figured the community would have a better handle on it.

Not trying to start a “flame war” or a “mine is better than yours”…more trying to see if people have “resources” that helped them make the decision that I’m not aware of…

Hmm, that’s not working for some reason. When I installed it, I believe you only defined 3 and it was showing us the rest. However, we are making use of all 5 now so no worries.

Well there is no way to email you that we are aware of. Your contact form says this:
Please note that this contact form is not for “theme support” related questions.

Your email support link says:

You need an active subscription in order to view this content.

If I comment out this line in your php script, it fixes the problem.

/* wp_enqueue_style( ‘bootstrap-css’, plugin_dir_url(__FILE__) . ‘css/bootstrap.min.css’); */

I thought to get approval from WordPress you are NOT suppose to include you own versions of common runtimes like Jquery or Bootstrap. You also are including Jquery too.

Thanks

Yeh, it feels like false advertisement. There should be a way to instantly download a zip file to get the page to look the same. Every theme can technically be setup to look any way; however, the purpose of the theme it seems it to get us 75% there with no work. Isn’t it?

Thanks Brenda,
It’s kind of strange. It looks like it is because of the [plugin] SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle plugin. If I turn that off, the gap closes. If that plugin is activated it happens. Why would this be?

Ok, so do you believe by default user registrations should remain off? We don’t remember turning those on but we can certainly turn them back off if we did.

What is the advantage of having this on anyways?

Yes, it seems to be working now. I do get this warning which is probably something that is more in your domain than the SEO tags you were setting before, but its just a warning:

Like Button Warnings That Should Be Fixed

Admins And App ID Missing fb:admins and fb:app_id tags are missing. These tags are necessary for Facebook to render a News Feed story that generates a high click-through rate.

The zip file we got crashed our website for some reason. Did you release a new version you need to have tested?

Also, scan your local computer for viruses/Trojans. A lot of times that’s where the problem is. Your personal computer gets hacked or you have a Trojan installed and they grab your password from there.

Don’t overlook that as another entry point.
