I don’t know how to do it without having access to my login. I found a .php file that had a weird name and it seemed to have a function in it to change my password and I’m wondering if that’s what’s happening. I’m going to re-delete everything in there and then try uploading all those files again (it’s hard to do because for some reason my FTP doesn’t work and that’s a problem with my host, not with this). I just have to use the control panel file manager to manually upload them. The issue is you can’t upload entire file structures that way.

I use Updraft and it has a save from the 18th. Would that have the ability to restore what needs to be restored?

I tried that and I’m still not able to stay logged in. I will initially get to the dashboard, go elsewhere and it will ask me to sign in again. I put in my username and password and it then keeps asking for it and won’t log me in anymore.

I tried, but now I can’t seem to stay logged in. I’ll log in, it goes to my dashboard, then I try to go anywhere else, it pops up the password page again and then it won’t let me back in.

Is there a way to re-install WordPress on the back end rather than through WordPress itself?

I went into my files on the site and deleted all the unused plugins manually. I then went into my site’s Plugins and deactivated everything. None of that ended up changing my inability to update, so I’m not sure what else to do.

I had BBPress installed, but they never added support for the import of the program I’m currently using, so I deactivated it. I also used Ultimate Member, but their usage instructions are garbage, so I could never get it to work right. I also deactivated it. That said, I had both installed during prior upgrade windows and was able to upgrade the edition then.

That said, I went in to delete any of the deactivated plugins that I haven’t used in awhile and I have no ability to delete them, so my admin abilities are affected.

I show Administrator, Keymaster.

I logged out and re-logged into it, so I’m pretty sure.

In the wp_usermeta table, I went down to the wp_capabilities and there were four rows, the first one had a user_id that matched my id, so I assume that’s the right line. This is what it shows as the value:

a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}

That looks like what you wrote, so I assume that’s correct.

I am on 5.6. It says is “WordPress 5.6.1 is available! Please notify the site administrator.” It won’t let me update to it. I was meaning that until that version, I always got an option to go and update to the latest version. It won’t let me update to 5.6.1 as there’s no update page to go to. I am logged in via the “admin” account, so I’m not sure why it says that.

I apologize for not responding sooner. I have consistently not found any time to work on this. That seems to have fixed the problem. Thank you.

Now I just have to figure out how to get some of other changes I’ve made into my style sheet because apparently, I’ve made some others and I’m not sure where the differences are…that, though, might just take a line-by-line comparison of the base style sheet and the one I later created…

Here’s how it currently looks (I may have modified it at some point) and I have changed it to show frontier-style where indicated and it still does not appear to work.

<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
     $parent_style = 'frontier-style';
     wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'frontier-child',
        get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
        array( $parent_style ),
        wp_get_theme()->get('Version')
    );
}
add_filter( 'the_content_more_link', 'modify_read_more_link' );
function modify_read_more_link() {
return 'Click here to continue reading this article';
}
?>

So the code above is correct? That’s what I’m trying to verify. I am previewing the changes with the live preview functionality of the themes as I don’t want to activate the child and find the entire site goes down.

I really just want to strip out the css that forces lists to be numeric only. I don’t want it for a specific post. It seems like a pointless thing to force on the user since numeric is the default for OL anyway.
