Yep me too. I was able to use Bushwick theme. There is a menu I can’t turn off but it only presents as a little box with three lines so it’s not all in the way and stuff.

I need an answer to this too. I only need one menu. For the theme Ultra, same basic issue as described above.

If I go to Menu Locations, and I see “Top Bar Menu”, “Top Bar Social Menu”, “Primary Menu” & “Bottom Bar Social Menu”. Each one I can either select my menu content, or nothing (just “–Select–“). If I select nothing for “top bar social menu” no page links display (which I want). However, if I select nothing for primary menu, then the page links show up in an unorganized manner all over the page. Either way it takes up too much space and pushes the main content below the view port. So I don’t know if there is some other standard wordpress way to turn off unwanted menus, or just keep trying different themes until I find one with only one top bar menu that looks good.

I just noticed this only happens when I’m at work. If I take my laptop home and connect via my home internet there is no issue. I suspect that when I click on the dashboard plugin / add new, it’s either trying to access XAMPP site (which my work seems to block or vice versa because I can’t access apachefriends dot org from work, in which case it would be my own problem), or it can’t figure out its way through the company .dat automatic configuration script which changes characteristics depending on the connection. Either way I don’t think anything can be done on your end so I apologize for the trouble.

Just for the record, that particular fix (define(‘FS_METHOD’, ‘direct’);) didn’t help in my case. I think something is just timing out. I wish I knew what it was trying to access that it’s getting stuck on. I can access links to www.remarpro.com from the page and I tried to open the firewall also, no dice.

Should I open a new thread? Thanks.

it is the advised approach to start your own thread when you have an issue.

Thanks. I thought I’d get blasted for duplicate posting.

If you don’t have the “FS_METHOW” line, then add the line I gave you, probably just above the comment which says “stop editing”

Thanks. I wondered if that was the case but I didn’t want to assume.

Also it is possible to download and install plugins manually, not at all hard and will get you out of your “catch 22”

In stating that the leads I’d followed for a method for this were not useful, I was actually hinting around that maybe someone could provide a link. But in the meantime I’ll try your config file edit first. I certainly appreciate your taking time to help!

I am newbie here. I have the same issue. If I click on Plugins / Add New, it times out with:

I saw a manual install video on YouTube but it instructs to click “Plugins / Add New”. (Catch 22). Maybe this is a bug in WordPress? In any case is there a manual install BKM that doesn’t have to use “Add New”? Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

XAMPP v3.2.1.

PS My wp-config.php file doesn’t have the “FS_METHOD” line.
