OK
I now have a basic site with no theme showing, or access to the admin panel.

‘You don’t have permission to access /troyblog/wp-admin/ on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.’

I this all stems from my renaming the htaccess file and then changing it back again.
please can someone help me, I would be sooooo greatful!

I have now completely lost my site! I am getting a 500 error for the whole site.
I managed to locate .htaccess on my server. I renamed it and also downloaded a copy of the file before renaming. I renamed the copy on the server to .htaccess1 and then was going to reset my permalinks, but could no longer access my admin panel. so, I then changed the link name back to .htaccess This did not resolve the problem, so I trie to upload the .htaccess file that I had downloded, I was not able to do so. I am in a terrible panic! Please can you help me.

I am trying really hard here, but I am pretty new to all of this.
I have at last located my .htaccess file I have downloaded it to my computer (a mac) and am not able to se it???
I am really not sure what I am supposed to be doing with the file, but I would really like to get this plugin working.

Also, re my 500 error message, I have looked at my error log on the server and it says, premature end of script headers:and then my url ending in wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/uploader.php

I would really appreciate some help with this as I need to finish this project for my university course.

PS I have looked at my FTP client and have made all hidden files visable, but still cannot find this file.

Sorry, I forgot to put my website address. It is https://ss-designs.co.uk/troyblog

I will have a look and see if I can find suitable widgets to display the categories and search facility.
The grouped-links-widget.2.0.0 did not use the H2 header, but I will look at it again to see if it is customizable.

Well at least I have not done anything wrong!
So, just to get this right, I now have to find widgets to add all the other content again? i.e something to display my categories? Also the search site function?

Why is it that the widgets work on the right side? I would like to keeo the doted line above and below the title. Is this customizable on a widget?

Thanks again.

Hooory!!!

I think I fixed it! That was really frightening! But I guess you learn when you have to sort this sort of thing out!

Before I close this post, please can someone confirm that this is the correct code for the footer?

<?php wp_footer(); ?>
<div style=”clear:both;”></div>

<div style=”clear:both;”></div>
</div>

<div id=”footer”>

</div>

Thanks so much!

thanks for the help. I have been looking in the codex for help.
This was always included in the theme.
I have managed to get some of this sorted now.
In the codex I found this.

In your index.php find the line that says <?php get_footer(); ?>. Above and below it add marker text like this:

<!– Evil Footer Devil FOUND –>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
<!– Evil Footer Devil BEGONE –>
Now visit your blog, view source (e.g. View->Page Source in Firefox), and copy the HTML between those two markers. Rename your footer.php and make a new copy of footer.php with that HTML code. Then change it to your hearts content. Remember to insert the <?php wp_footer(); ?> before </body> tag.

So, I have added the code to the footer. I have vied it in Firefox and the source code says
<div style=”clear:both;”></div>

<div style=”clear:both;”></div>
</div>

<div id=”footer”>
Used laptops
</div>

I know there is an explanation of what to do now, but I do not really understand it! Do I paste the htm into my footer.php file, without the bad link?

Thanks so much for the help.

Did you manage to resolve this? I want users to upload videos to my blog, and have not found out how to do so yet. I would appreciate any tips?

Okey Dokey

OK thanks. I have been jumping around so many accounts, it was probably another wordpress site.
I have now set up a google account, and am still having the same problem from the plugin Kaltura site. Their verification email is not arriving. I have now set up two accounts with them, one with my primary email address, and one with the google mail one, and no joy.
For now, I guess I will have to work around it, and just email them directly.
Thanks for the help.
