Dear criev,

The latest release of WordPress is 4.3. I have not experienced problems in my own installation and you should know that the WordPress team and the community works hard to test new versions thoroughly, and may go through multiple release candidates before releasing it.

However there is probably no such thing as a bug-free software and there may always arise problems. You should further distinguish between problems in WordPress when you install it fresh, and problems that are the result of plugins you install, themes you install, code changes you make etcetera. The first may indicate ‘real’ problems with the WordPress core, the last is usually a result of wrong code created by developers and that are not related to the WordPress software itself.

The WordPress team will always work on updates so in the future there might be a 4.3.1 and a 4.5 that aims to be better than the previous version. However that is always a continues problem.

My advice to you is to backup your site and update to 4.3. In case something goes wrong you can troubleshoot it and if you are unable to do that in the time you want you can always revert back to your backup. That way you can see whether you like 4.3 in a kind of risk-free manner.

Hope this helps. If it does please mark this topic as resolved.

Dear aubrey114,

Yes, if you uninstall a plugin that (when active) placed scripts in your source then that will be removed. This is also the case for plug-ins in general.

However of course, if the plugin fails to deactivate or there is an error in deleting it there might be pieces of code that will still be present. You would have to look into that manually in that case. However in my personal opinion I found that plugins most of the time will remove fine and clean.

Do note that if you have a caching plugin enabled, the ‘old’ scripts may even show when you removed the plugin. In that case you should clear your cache (and in case of CDN usage) and CDN for the changes to reflect.

Hope this helps. If it does, can you please mark this topic resolved?

Dear Andrew,

For instance look at this screenshot:

In my profile it says I replied, which I did however it is not showing my reply. However it does state that I started the Topic, which I obviously did not…

I am talking about this topic.

Dear Andrew,

Thanks for this. Please note that I do not actually try to double-post. Sometimes however I do not see my reply after I posted it. It shows in my profile that I posted in the topic but it actually does not show.

So apologies for the double-posting, but I am not always aware of this…

Kind regards,

Dear rdxcsgold,

Yes this is usally done through graphic editing with software like Adobe Photoshop.
The reason they save the files as .png is because that allows for transparant backgrounds.

However there are great free alternatives to Adobe Photoshop that, although not as advanced, can definitely do the trick such as GIMP. Then reading several tutorials about this topic will help you achieve it.

Hope this helps, if it does please mark this topic as resolved.

Dear hshah,

You should create a form within a page on your website that contains the fields you would like the invitees to fill in, such as number of adults, number of children etcetera.

The next step would be sending out e-mail invites that includes unique URL’s that point to that specific page with the form on it. The unique URL’s allow for the prefilling of a field in the form that allows you to identify which person is filling in the form*.

*Of course you could also simply ask people to enter their own Names / E-mail’s etcetera depending on how sensitive / private the events you want to create are.
If that is an option you can simply create a page with a form and start sending out e-mails with the link in it.

There are also plugins that help with this, such as the RSVP ME plugin.

Hope this helps. If it does, please mark this topic as resolved.

Dear Susara86,

Did you check and make sure that your wp-config file is setup correctly?
Please look into the article about Editing WP-Config for guidance.

You need to make sure that the Database Name / Database User / Database Password and Database Host are correctly set.

Hope this helps. If it does, please mark this topic as resolved.

Dear merlin4539,

Maybe you have plugins that are conflicting with this functionality.
If possible disable all of your plugins to see if you are able to add through the Add Media button then.

If it does try reactivating the plugins one by one to see which plugin breaks this functionality.

Hope this helps, if it does please mark this topic as resolved.

Dear biduxaper,

The example you provided is not ‘really’ a slideshow in terms of being it the same article.
If you look when you click on the Next button it is actually a different page.

It uses a query string that has page=2 or page=3 etcetera at the end of the URL.

Nevertheless the easiest way to achieve this if it is not a part of the theme you use is installing a plugin. Some plugins that might suit your needs:

Advanced Content Pagination
jQuery Post Splitter
Paged Post Slider

Hope this helps. If it does, please mark this topic as resolved.

Dear vcarter,

When I open your site I do not see strange characters or a load of symbols.
These kind of problems – again although not seen by me – sometimes arise by not defining a proper character set. However, that seems to be in order for your site.

Another thing might be causing the behavior are fonts that are not loaded in time before other elements on the page.

However you actually did a great job to locating the problem. You are saying that recent plugins you installed yesterday and today are conflicting with other plugins in your installation. So there most likely lies your problem: plugin A conflicts with plugin B causing the problem you encounter.
So the recommended way to locating this problem further is disabling all plugins on your website and activating them one by one. Then try to see when the problem starts. This might be a bit time consuming but will probably work.

For instance see this example:
Activate Plugin 1 – No problem, so continue with activating other plugin.
Activate Plugin 2 – No problem, so continue with activating other plugin.
Activate Plugin 3 – The problem arises.

This tells you that plugin 1 and plugin 2 are working together fine (as far as the problem you encountered is concerned). As the problem starts with plugin 3 this means plugin 3 is conflicting with plugin 1, 2 or both. You can eliminate this again by activating 1, then plugin 3 and see if the problem starts etcetera.

If you located the conflicting plugins you can check online again or post here to see if there is a fix. You could also consider using an alternative plugin that you may find will not conflict.

Hope this helps, if it does please mark this topic as resolved.

Dear Tradedog,

Unfortunately there is no simple way to deal with it as it is very dependent on your website, the plugins you use, the theme you use etcetera.

However there are plugins that can help with this but you will probably find that you need to tweak this to suit your needs. For instance, I once had a website that had a slider at the top that used javascript. Simply moving the JavaScript from the head to the footer did the trick as far as Google Page Speed is concerned, but the slider did not ended up loading correctly.

So I would recommend reading the articles about Removing Render-Blocking Javascript and Optimizing CSS Delivery. Furthermore you can visit the WordPress Plugin Directory and search for plugins that can help solving the messages you get from Google Page Speed.

Hope this helps. If it does, please mark this topic as resolved.

Dear robw92,

You can redirect that using a Redirection plugin.

After installing you can go to Tools -> Redirection.
Then add a New redirection from your Source URL (the original page) to the Target URL (the destination page).

As I assume you want to make this a permanent redirection you can leave it be and it will redirect it as a 301-redirect. To learn more about redirect codes you can visit the Wikipedia page about HTTP Status Codes.

Hope this helps. If it does, please mark this topic as resolved.

Dear Willy Witsel,

That is not something that is possible by default in WordPress.
However there are plugins for that, such as Post tags and categories for pages one.

Alternatively, what you can do that will result in similar URL’s is create a parent page and create other pages below that page.

Hope this helps, if it does please mark this topic as resolved.

Dear teamrebel,

Can you please provide the link that should be accessible for the public? This url should not contain /wp-admin/ as that is something only people with access to your back-end can access.

So what I am looking for is this. Let’s say your post-title is My Favorite Movies. I would expect an url similar to:
https://rebelwithoutcrewfilms.com/my-favorite-movies/

I am sorry that this is taking some time but I am helping the best I can.

Kind regards,

Dear bpc123,

If you go into the file light.css you will find the following:

.btn-translucent {
	background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.3);
}
.btn-translucent:hover {
	background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.8);
}

If you change the background-color parameters to the color-number you want this will be fixed. You can use the Hex Color Tool website to find the rgba-number of the color you like.

The background-color of ‘.btn-translucent’ is used for the button when you are not hovering over it, and ‘.btn-translucent:hover’ is the color that is used when hovering over it. That way you could make a button that for instance is lightblue when you see it while when you hover it it becomes darkblue.

Hope this helps. If it does please mark this topic as resolved.
