Unfortunately I’m not capable of marking it resolved, and you’re right that there’s no delete option.

It took some ambition and about 30 hours of rebuilding (I’m a first time WordPress user) after the initial 115 hours it took to learn how to use it and so forth. But it turned out to be a good thing, and really ensured that I remembered everything I’d learned =)

It did, I apologize for not having updated this post.

I later ran into a bigger issue that caused fatal error and my back up failed, so I had to start over from scratch.

The only issue I seem to be running into on occasion is that the tab icons don’t work properly on the initial visit (appear to be little empty boxes) until navigated somewhere on the website. But this is a minor issue so I haven’t really worried myself with it.

Regarding the circle icons, all is well =).

Sorry again for not having updated this post as resolved. As it the OP has been fixed. I’d rather have this topic deleted than marked as “resolved” in that I can’t provide an actual solution to the problem. I think any independent self educated developer would agree that little is more annoying than doing a google search to troubleshoot our problem and get a post without a resolution =).

Thanks!

Hey Jack, I just thought I’d let you know I finally got the issue resolved and lifewithdj.com is officially up and running (better than before I might add lol). Wanted to thank you again.

I’ve since watched tutorials on how to properly back up. So I should be covered from here on out ??

I reinstalled wordpress but as soon as I reactivate vantage I get the same problem.

Sadly, my only reason for wanting to take the dashboard off was because of my OCD. It didn’t fit and users have no use for the dashboard with how I set up my website.

Back to the drawing board. Thanks for your help Jack.

Well, actually. I spent 5 days with pretty much no sleep developing and setting up the website. It was practically finished. I guess it wouldn’t kill me to rebuild, but I may not be showing up to work tomorrow if that’s the case.

I started my website like 5 days ago, 100% positive all my addons are up to date. I took your advice deleted lightbox gallery from my archive, as well as the others.

Uploading is complete but still no change. Is that even possible? I replaced the entire theme and pluggins with yesterdays backup files.

this is the first 18 lines of the theme functions.php it says the issue is in line 10…

`<?php
/**
* vantage functions and definitions
*
* @package vantage
* @since vantage 1.0
* @license GPL 2.0
*/

define( ‘SITEORIGIN_THEME_VERSION’ , ‘2.2.3’ );
define( ‘SITEORIGIN_THEME_ENDPOINT’ , ‘https://updates.siteorigin.com&#8217; );

if( file_exists( get_template_directory() . ‘/premium/functions.php’ ) ){
include get_template_directory() . ‘/premium/functions.php’;
}
else {
include get_template_directory() . ‘/upgrade/upgrade.php’;
}
`

Filezilla just completed reuploading both the theme and all plugins and it did not resolve the issue. Unfortunately I don’t know HTML so I wouldn’t know what was or wasn’t missing or what did and didn’t belong. I’ve built my website entirely with the site builder. With the exception of this stupid incident.

I’ve got the time. I can’t go to sleep until I get this fixed (literately, long story) and I have to be up at 4am.

WP4.0

Plugins (you’ll understand why if this can get fixed)

bbpress
buddypress
contact form 7
disqus comment system
favicon
iflychat
lightbox gallery
lightbox pluss

I cleared the cash, reloaded the page, same issue. I’m using around 18 plugins

No, the cache has been left alone. Assuming I did it correctly with filezilla, yes, I reuploaded the theme and had no change. I’m in the process of a 4,000 file plugin upload as we speak
