No I don’t have a caching plugin. I don’t think my version has a cache at all. At least, there’s no folder for it. I’m running on Godaddy.

What I did was uncheck the setting for things to behave, saved, reloaded, then rechecked it. That may have worked.

I thought the slowness was me.

And now it’s working. I don’t get what happened to be honest.

Well the good news is I checked the alternative view protection option and the site is now putting the last “okay” page up. Anything that’s members only doesn’t show on the front page. One issue down! Three to go!

Yeah, the Comic Easel I’m using is the plugin. And the theme is ComicPress. The site looks okay but the functions I am looking for are not to be found. Alas!

Oh, yes,I should look into the display on page thing. Maybe there’s an answer there. I hope! I don’t mind releasing pages manually here and there up to a point. But that at least I hope to fix.

I took a look and, on top of not being able to follow much, I get the gist this isn’t going to work in my situation. It blocks content. Day 3 of their registration? No, I need it to be day 14 of it being online because I want visitors to see it when it ages as well.

Also, Comic Easel displays comics by using the featured image function.

Oy. (disappoint! LOL)

Okay, yes, the titles are very intimidating. LOL. But I”ll see what I an find.

I’m sorry I wasn’t clear. What I mean by “cleared” page is the last page in the line of pages nonpaying members can see. Having the site open up to the members page because the last page showing is a page only paying members can see would be a big turn off.

Thanks for the encouragement. It’s really nice and I greatly appreciate it! But the truth is I don’t have $50. I don’t have $10. The last time I priced “help” they wanted three times that, so…. I just had to argue not to get my water turned off. Times are hard right now, as they are for a lot of people. Maybe in the future I can invest in hiring someone, but for now? No one likes the comic anyway. My only regret is going to WP. I didn’t wanna. LOL!

This system was installed by Godaddy. I don’t have these files and wouldn’t know what I was doing or if I were getting the correct files because I don’t know what they do or don’t install. They tend to disable and take away things from programs, for example. It’s too much of a gamble.

Thank you but I’m going to mark this as resolved, even though it’s far from it, and give up.

I’m not doing that one. I tried that before on another website and ended up having to rebuild from scratch. And doing a mirror restore didn’t work. WP is just… way too fragile. And I can’t afford to lose what’s been built here. We’re talking hundreds of pages I would have to put in one by one. Again.

So.. I guess thanks. Nothing is going to work.

2014… that would be the twenty fourteen theme right?

By ftp method, you are talking about going in by ftp and renaming the folder right? Because I did that, which would be why I mentioned it already.

As for hiring someone, if I had the money I’d pay my overdue car payment. =^-^=

In order.

1. Deactivating all plugins, including Comic Easel, got me nowhere just now.
2. I have no idea what the default theme is. I have ComicPress and Oriental. Switching out didn’t work. Installing and switching to Twenty Fourteen didn’t work.
3. Using PhpMyAdmin is way above my ability to do so. I barely understood the page that was talking about it. In fact, I didn’t understand most of it. Just enough to let me know there was no way I was going to be able to do it.
4. Renaming the plugins folder to plugins.hold as per instructions got me this message in my dashboard: This theme recommends the following plugin: Search Everything. The following required plugin is currently inactive: Comic Easel.

Which makes me wonder why Comic Easel is still able to be found.

5. Renaming the folder back to normal with plugins all deactivated: the problem still persists.

Thanks for responding so quickly!

“- deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).” Yes. Just like I said before. Deactivating all of them except comic easel didn’t work. My thought: If comic easel is the issue, I might as well find a different platform altogether that’s not WP.

I’ll try two of the others. Reuploading files and folders will only break things forever says experience and setting this comic up was too much of a hassle to risk it.

Off to try these and holding my breath. LOL

Edit: I changed themes from Wootique to Mystile, same problem. So I know it’s not the theme at least.
