Ok, I solved the issue. I added a <font> tag on the form itself using the Contact Form edit functionality.

Steve,
Thanks! I saw that icon, but never thought to check it out. Appreciate the quick response.

As I said the http.conf file changes recommended fixed the issue. But there were several places that I changed and things seemed to work after that.

Steve,
Thanks. I know its off topic, but thought someone else might have a similar experience. Today I did a complete new install of Centos 7, Apache, Mysql, phpmyadmin, webmin and wordpress. Took some time and had to dig around for some things to get phpmyadmin running (had to modify the phpmyadmin.conf file to allow the local other ipaddresses to use it. But once everything was installed and running its pretty sweet. I did install php 7.1. This took a little doing since Centos repositories only support 5.4. But there is a good tutorial that can be found on google.
All in all, it was time well spend. And now I can start building my web page on my local server and see what happens from there.

Ok, I am guessing its an issue with the Fedora 27 server. I did a Centos install yesterday and everything was fine. Today I tried Fedora 27 server and a bunch of things are missing. No bar on the themes window to allow new or delete or anything. Couldn’t delete plugins. So back to CentOS tomorrow.

the changes to the httpd.conf file seem to have solved the problem.
Thanks everyone.

Yes, I did restart Apache. Here is what I have in my httpd.conf file. These lines are at the very end of the file.

<Directory />
AllowOverride none
Require all denied
</Directory>

<Directory /var/www/html>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>

Still not working. However, I was able to solve the max file upload size. Now if I can get this fixed, and find a way to get mail working, I should be set.

Ok, Updated the http.conf file as you suggested. Also added missing .htaccess file to the root directory (/var/www/html), but I am still getting the 404 error.
Here is the .htaccess file contents:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Many thanks for your help.

Ross. When I changed the permalink back to default and reviewed the .htaccess file it only contained the commented lines. The other lines were all deleted.

DionDesigns – I am familiar with the httd.conf file but not with the a file in the web directory. Can you explain what you mean by that or point me to a reference source to help out?

Thanks.

Ok, it shows its loaded. But I don’t see any indications that it is “enabled” unless just being loaded implies enabled.

I also noticed that when I re-selected the defalt, the conf file was blank.

Thanks.

Ok,

I am doing a complete reinstall. So I’ll see if that works.

Untangle.

Router is not the problem. I can port forward to a normal index.html on the apache server and it works fine. Only when I attempt to connect to a WP site that it times out. I tried to connect to the index.php page, it connects but only shows a blank screen. When I check the page source it too is blank.

If I connect using the servers IP address from within the lan then everything works fine.

So there is something going on with WP that is not liking the port forward.

Well, I uploaded the video to YouTube and it runs just fine. So I’m thinking lightbox only works with YouTube. Interesting.

I’m using the lightbox and colorbox plugin. I can load and display youtube videos no problem. By my own video on my server will not load. Firefox keeps trying to download and display natively ignoring the lightbox frame which is opened.

I was following a tutorial and building my site as I went along and wanted to insert my video instead of the YouTube video from the tutorial.

The tutorial code that works is:

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oc1HDF2AyNE" class="popup button primary-button">Watch the Video</a> <a href="/our-work" class="button secondary-button">Our Work</a>

All I did was change the web site from youtube to my server. Very strange behavior. I even converted from mpeg to mpg format thinking it was a protocol problem, but still won’t load in the lightbox frame.

`<a href=”https://192.168.10.221/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/SkyDiving-001.mpeg&#8221; class=”popup button primary-button”>Watch the Video</a> <a href=”/our-work” class=”button secondary-button”>Our Work</a>

Sorry, here is the actual code. Not sure why it didn’t copy before.

I’m thinking that maybe I need to add my server to the whitelist?

The site is on a private server behind a firewall. I haven’t moved it to a public server yet. I’m still trying to learn WordPress.
