    Know a bit – but not advanced enough….
    With changes made in the past couple of days to the plugin, will changes help resolve the above by uninstall on WP site, also check cPanel, wp snapshots and Duplicator plugin properly removed. Then reinstall?

    Resolved – found the answer eventually

    Hi Marcel, I am experiencing the same problem, continuously have to sign in after each update to HTML which does not accept images for some reason. Loaded image within the site and still does not find the pic!

    Thanks higgison – now I don’t have to ask the same question.

    When putting a new Atahualpa Theme up, always go here https://forum.bytesforall.com/forumdisplay.php?f=12 to check if there are additional patches you need to install.

    Moved from 3.2.1 and followed what psmits suggested…

    “I was able to fix the problem by using the following recommendations mentioned above:

    1. Install “use Google Libraries” plugin.
    2. Activate “Twenty Eleven” Theme.
    3. Clear browser cache.
    4. try the tabs, and everything worked.
    5. Switch back to my usual theme, everything still worked!

    I hope this helps.”

    Yup thanks that worked for me – Thank You.

    Forum: Fixing WordPress
    In reply to: Firefox problem

    Hi Songdogtech,

    Time to use Firebug

    Mark I am trying desperately to get my head around how to use the information from W3C and Firebug – I have multiple errors! Site now up for 2 years only to realize that you need to run a W3C verification.

    On W3C I did a on-site url check, which runs of the whole site and can see what is required, it is how to go about doing the cleaning. Can one edit in Firebug and save the file and upload to WP3 – would you have to rename a file etc.

    All the You Tube information available goes through the W3C side, but not on how to treat the file.

    Is it safer to download and test each .php .html etc one by one, clean them in something like NoteTab and do the same for CSS?

    Hi Guys,

    Download the new theme to your computer, update images you want to use prepare everything before loading theme with new versioin number.

    By manually installing the new version, you can actually have multiple versions of the theme in the theme picker. This allows you to ‘try out’ the new version and switch back to the old version if you have an issue. So here is a suggest list of steps to take to install a new version of the theme.

    A) Do a backup.
    Before any major upgrade (wordpress/theme/plugin) you should always do a database backup so you can recover back to the point in time before making the change. I also recommend backing up wp-config.php and the wp-content folder (contains your themes, plugins and uploads) on a periodic basis. These can be used it the event of a major disaster to help recover your site

    B) Download the latest version of the theme to your computer
    go to https://wordpress.bytesforall.com/ to get the latest version of the theme

    C) unzip the file
    When you unzip the theme you will see t is a folder with nubers at the end. these are the version number and allow you to have multiple copies of the theme in the WordPress themes folder

    D) Copy in your images, deleting the supplied images
    at this point, you can copy in your favicon, delete the theme supplied header images and add your own images into the header.

    E) Check for any patches
    Go to the ‘New Versions, & Updating’ forum (https://forum.bytesforall.com/forumdisplay.php?f=12) and review and BUGFIX’s for the release and apply them.

    F) Update any code changes you made in the previous version (code customization)
    If you made any actual changes to the code (not recommended) you should review the changes and apply them to the new version

    G) Add in any custom templates you use
    If you are using any custom templates, put them in the new theme folder.

    H) Upload the theme folder to your host
    FTP the new version’s folder to the ‘wp-content/themes’ themes folder on your host. Put each version in a new folder like atahualpa353, atahualpa364 etc. (See https://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=4887 for an explaination of FTP)

    I) Activate the theme
    Go to the WordPress Dashboard, Appearances, Themes and activate the new version. With the theme versions in different folders, you can switch between versions in case you missed something.

    J) Verify URL Names in the options
    You my need to change the path name to get an image if you have been using the full path name.

    That should be it. You have manually upgraded the theme.

    Fixes from Forum – do these before loading upto your host.

    Following fixes for 364
    1. If you have a Category with a multi line description, setting the option ‘Title tags in Category Menu Bar’ to ‘No’ will not prevent the title from displaying.

    To fix this edit ‘bfa_hor_cats.php and change line 29 (version 3.6.1 and 3.6.4)
    $list_cat_string = preg_replace(“/title=\”(.*?)\”/si”,””,$list_cat_string);

    2. Note: 2/27/11 – the css.php has been updated to contain the changes in BUGFIX 364-02
    UPDATE: This should now fix it for both the Atahualpa and WP menus. Please use these files:
    css.php.zip
    bfa_new_wp3_menus.php.zip

    This only effects the menu’s when using the Atahualpa Automatic menus. It will not change things if you are using a WordPress menu

    When using %page-center or %cat-center the option ‘Border around all menu items’ and ‘Background color’ are being ignored. This was caused by a hard coded assignment in the CSS. In addition, there is a difference in how the HTML elements are being built when using the Atahualpa menus verses the WordPress menus.

    This fix will cause the use of those two options when using %page-center or %cat-center in all cases.

    Unzip the following file and upload it to your host replacing the original file. The changes for BUGFIX 364-02 also applied.

    3. If the option ‘Overlay Blog TITLE over Header Image(s)?’ is set to YES, the Tag line will also overlay the header image even if the option ‘Overlay Blog TAGLINE over Header Image(s)?’ is set to ‘No’

    This is caused by a missing set of brackets in an ‘IF’ statement. This error was introduced in 3.6.0.

    To fix it, edit bfa_header_config.php and change lines 344-345 to

    if ( $bfa_ata[‘overlay_blog_tagline’] == “Yes” ) {
    echo ‘<p class=”tagline”>’; bloginfo(‘description’); echo ‘</p>’;
    }

    or you can download and unzip the attached file and upload it to your host. Put it in the ‘atahualpa/functions’ folder replacing the original.
    bfa_header_config.php.zip

    4. If you set the ‘Custom read more’ to have a link to the full post, but you are also using the ‘Use Post / Page Option’ and have a blank post title, then no permalink will show if you are displaying excerpts.

    In addition, you will see the word ‘Permalink’ displayed in place of the blank title.

    This fix corrects the code by removing the word ‘permalink’ from the post title. It also adds the word ‘Permalink’ to the ‘custom read more’ if you are using ‘%title%’ in it’s configuration.

    edit functions.php and change line 285 (version 3.6.4) to
    if ( get_the_title() == ” ) {
    $custom_read_more = str_replace(‘%title%’, ‘Permalink’, $custom_read_more);
    } else {
    $custom_read_more = str_replace(‘%title%’, the_title(”,”,FALSE), $custom_read_more);
    }

    edit bfa_post_parts.php and change lines 42-47 (version 3.6.4) to

    if ( (!is_single() AND !is_page()) OR $bfa_ata_display_body_title == ” ) {

    or you can download and unzip the attached files and upload them to your host.
    Put ‘functions.php’ in the ‘atahualpa’ folder replacing the original.
    Put ‘bfa_post_parts.php’ in the ‘atahualpa/functions’ folder replacing the original.

    functions.php.zip
    bfa_post_parts.php.zip

    5. prior to 3.6.1, you could access $post->post_modified in the ‘FOOTER: Homepage’, ‘FOOTER: Multi Post Pages’, ‘FOOTER: Single Post Pages’, or ‘FOOTER: “Page” Pages’ but due to the use of stream wrappers in 3.6.x – $post is no longer valid.

    To fix this edit bfa_post_parts.php (it’s in the ‘functions’ folder) and change
    in version 3.6.1 – line 176
    in version 3.6.4 – line 171
    from
    HTML Code:
    global $bfa_ata;
    to
    HTML Code:
    global $bfa_ata, $post;

    Visit the forum and double check I have not omitted anything in error. If you have any problems contact your host, I am sure they will be able to assist you and good luck.

    Yup Desean,

    I read what Juggledad said, and he is emphatic that a child theme is not required, in more than one reply to questions in this regard.

    The correct code needs to be implemented and that is where I am at a loss.

    My site needs to be moved from Atahualpha 3.2 to 3.6.4, which I am hoping will clear up some of the queries I have in W3C. Doing housekeeping Oh such fun, first and foremost WP suggest update to WP and Theme.

    Jugglehead refers to code in CSS Inserts.

    Ok I have been around the world looking for a ‘safe’ answer to upgrade from Atahualpha 3.2 to 3.6.4 having moved WP 3.0.4 and wishing to move to 3.1.

    What I have found so far:-

    If you look at ato-> configure JS & CSS you will see an option to have the CSS external

    You can also add any CSS you use at ato->add HTML/CSS Inserts->CSS Inserts

    making them theme options and they will remain in place during theme upgrades.

    No need to change the code or use a child theme.

    So now to get the code is another question in the asking! No clue… You have to sign up to become a ‘gold member’ on the forum $20 to get to the answers. Hope this helps – I’m still trying to get there?

    Hi, the only place I have found some tips that appear to work with regard to some of this I found here https://www.1stoptutorials.com/How-To-Validate-Code.html – you may find an answer to header image correction either on this site or go to YouTube type in a “How To” – good luck – I have ended up with 2 x ‘title’ still trying to find where it originates from.

    Would the same apply moving from Atahualpa version 3.2?

    Currently trying to get W3C validation and find a lot of errors are from within the older version possibly – other errors will still have to hunt down and resolve.

    I am busy trying out SEO Ultimate and that has a masking feature for links within posts.

    SEO Ultimate really has some very neat features and so far so good – it is doing what I was looking for, Title Tag and Meta Descriptions that are being duplicated, found in Webmaster Tools.

    New to Link Masks so a bit cautious on how to implement, but this may be the answer to your problems.

    Hi Guys, Thanks for this info – I have been getting 404’s and Duplicate Meta and Title Tags which have thrown out Webmaster Tools errors.

    Have been just about everywhere looking for advice on what to do with this plugin – switch off, what happens to previous translations or leave running with minimal flags switched on!

    There is more to this than meets the eye, just switched it on the plugin ages ago and thought it would assist others to obtain info – horror of horrors after upgrading and taking time to check properly!

    Another place to read more about multi-language and multi-regions is here at

    Hope this helps others in the future.
