Thanks, I knew how to add a second row, just was not sure how to get a plugin to display in the sections. I will play with it some more. Thanks for all your help. I also got your email. Just let me know what you need when you are ready.

Also, I don’t suppose you know how to add three sections to the home page where I can insert widgets or code to display like a facebook like page or an instagram feed? Sorry to pick your brain!

shoot me an email when you have a chance and I will make a note with a reply so I know to hook you up when you do want it, then I know I am not getting emailed by some random guy posing as you.

Holy crap! You are awesome! Thank you for your help! If you have not been able to tell yet I sell stickers, If you would like something in a sticker my main website is https://www.shaysstickershop.com email me and I will take care of you ??

I upgraded to 2.0 or whatever the new version is and everything broke. Good thing I kept a back up of the old version, reverted back to my old install files of the version before the 2.X update and kept everything working fine ??

Any idea how to get rid of this white space from the header so that the background bullets carry up to the top? I am not sure its possible. Here is a pic of what I am talking about:

You can see it from the link as well.

its not live released to the public yet, thats why the url is weird.

Did not work ??

does the .htaccess file ever get modified? as in does the code stay the same forever, or will something edit it down the road? Might be good for me to just copy the code into a text document and then save it and remmeber thats the .htaccess file and upload what is in it when i need to again!

I just got an email from my hosting company, I called them yesterday to see if they had a way to go back in time and restore my files from saturday or a few days before. They just emailed me back saying they have found everything they could find and uploaded it to a folder on my ftp… I copied the .htaccess file and dropped it in the old /site folder on the wordpress site we have been working on and BAM! It took a few refreshes but ITS UP AND WORKING!!!!!!

Ipstenu Thank you for your help! you knew what the problem was and how to fix it!!!

Next question, what is the proper way to back up my wordpress files without going through this or any other problem again!?!?!?! I want to back it up every time im about to make any significant changes or install any plug ins or widgets so I know everything will be ok and I can just go back and be fine.

Thank you for your personal attention to this thread! I really appreciate it!

The .htaccess file was missing, Last night I prepared for the worst and created a new wordpress install in a /site2 (folder on my ftp) and a new database for that install and started to re make my website! would this have caused problems because now when I go to the original one (/site) and click a link it goes to the new one instead! AHHHH!

Ipstenu,

Thank you for all your help thus far! I really appreciate it!

I only have the following plug ins installed:

DirtySuds – Embed YouTube
Facebook Page Photo Gallery
ShareThis

I have no idea on caching plug ins

im not sure what you mean on your 3rd question, im newer to wordpress, is there a way to private message you or something, I dont want to post my website links up here but can explain it better by posting links.

right now the only thing that works is

https://www.mysite.com/site

and all the other folders that are /site/folder1
/site/folder2
/site/folder3

also when i say /folder# that was a multi site directory, basically i re made all the navigation menus so that all the multi sites linked together and worked really well.

and so on do not work, as long my media page that had about 40 blog postings all coded with facebook pictures and youtube links

I wish there was a way to get this back so I dont have to re enter all the info again as it took me many days and lots of hours!

I downloaded everything in the folder /site and thought that would work, I did delete the plug in, thats what caused the problem, it didnt work like I wanted it to so I removed it and it shifted my site to the hard left and I could not get it, so I deleted the files in the /site folder on my ftp client and then re uploaded the ones that worked perfect and now it does not work right…. If i did not touch the database why does the site not work?

So i created

https://www.mysiteexample.com/site

/site was the directory where everything was installed and uploaded, a few days ago I downloaded everything from the /site folder onto my hard drive.

After installing a plug in today it messed up the site, so I figured I could revert back to what was in the /site folder that I downloaded a few days ago..

After uploading all the files, the main multi site page loads up, but all the other multi site pages where I had stuff and other blogs do not work now… like its all messed up..

any ideas? I thought if i downloaded all the files from /site I would be good to go, maybe not?!

yes it is, just change the yummehent.com to example.com and your set! Lets not be gay about this.
