Awesome! Worked like a charm! Thanks so much for your time and help!! ??

Wow Thanks for the quick reply!

I applied the code into my theme’s functions.php file but it is still saying “Product Price”

Do I have to change something somewhere else in the backend as well?

thanks!

Hi Uzzal –

The site I’m referring too is https://megsimone.com/about_test/
The testimonial slider is near the bottom of the page.

Thanks for looking into this!

Tara

Not to piggy back, but I’m having the same issue, even though I changed the font color in the testimonial shortcode section…the color for the main testimonial section is staying black.

It’s not letting me change the CSS either.

Any help on this would be most excellent.

Hi There,

Thank you for the response. I did have the testimonials set up for h3 because I wanted them styled that way with the font that was chosen for the site’s theme.
I switched them all back to paragraph format, and I am still having the same issue.

The shortcode is being placed (copy and pasted) in a VC (visual composer) row text box on the theme.

I took a screen grab on my phone so you can see what I’m talking about.

Thanks @andrewn18!

Stupid question, but will this allow me to still edit on the dashboard under the old URL or under the URL I change it too?

Thanks!
Tara

Awesome! I’ll give it a whirl after I back it up. Thanks again!! ??

Thanks @t-p!

These seem like instructions on changing the site URL and I was wondering if it’s possible to change the WordPress Address (URL) and how to go about that without messing up all the files and links….

Cheers,
Tara

Thanks for responding wfyann!

I did try viewing it the other night in incognito mode, but it still showed the 503 error. Granted I didn’t think to shut off my extensions….

I’m not sure what it was to be honest with you. I had wordfence send me an email, which is what they suggested at the bottom of the 503 warning page. And that email suggested I unblock the two IP addresses I had blocked (neither one of them were my IP address by the way) and that seemed to do the trick. So I guess that still leaves me confused. haha

I’ll play around with it again, and try to block an IP address and see if it does it again.

Thanks again!

Morning ~ (sorry this is going to be a bit long so you understand what I did haha)

So it turns out the clients actual url for this site is a subdomain. I called up the hosting company and had them switch the subdomain url to the new wordpress folder on the server.

However when the transition was complete, and the new site was now showing under the correct url, I noticed that only the home page was reading as the subdomain url and when I clicked on links within the new wordpress site, such as “about”, the url would read as the actual wordpress url that I had created the new site in, and not the subdomain url.

I figured I could change this by switching the “Site Address (URL)” under general settings to the subdomain url, easy peasy, which did work, but I had to go and change all the links throughout the site to read correctly. I also changed the permalinks and adjusted the .htaccess file accordingly.

My only problem now, is I have some “load more” blog post buttons and font awesome icons that are not loading at all since I switched all of this, or not working when they are clicked.

I contacted the theme developers for help and they said that this was because…

“The problem is due to the domain switch that you have done. To fix that you need to move the files from “wordpresssite2015″ to root and in the general settings you need to have the wordpress URL and site URL as https://www.subdomainURL.com. Please update it and have a look.”

I already have a main primary wordpress running from the root folder (totally different from this site I am talking about – and the primary’s site’s .htaccess and index.php are actually only in the root folder-and in a separate folder on the server), can I also have this entirely different wordpress site running from the root? That makes no sense to me.

I’m kind of at a loss at what to do right now to make everything run smoothly (aka the load more posts btn and the font awesome files to actually show). You know losing sleep and tossing and turning. ??

Any information or ideas would be greatly appreciated as always!

Hi Craig!

Thanks for the link. ??

So what I originally did was create a new sub-directory with a whole new WordPress and theme, images etc.

So I don’t really need to move over files and images, since it was basically a clean set up in that new sub-directory.

Is it possible to just switch the Site Address (URL) in the new sub-directory and adjust the .htaccess file? And then shut- down the old site sub-directory folder?

Thanks!
Tara

The other thing to note is the entire kitchen sink works just fine and dandy when I first start out in “edit” mode of a post or a page, but the second I hit “publish” some options in the sink aren’t available. (links, and visual and text tabs)

I’ve even set the live post back to edit, and that doesn’t do the trick either.

Hi Esmi –

I have done all the above. Which is why I am confused as to what’s going on. Nothing is working. ??

Thanks Maoski. I thought of the same thing…and maybe it is.

I was working in Firefox, and switched to safari…and it was working for a while, like five minutes, and then it started doing it again. ??

I also thought I would test out one of my different clients wordpress back ends, and that worked just fine….

Do you think it’s javascript related? I know macs aren’t friendly with javascript. But then that would explain why it works in one of my clients sites, and not this other clients.

Thanks for responding.
