hi there,
First rule of JavaScript debugging is to check your browser’s error console where you will see:

TypeError: $ is not a function

This is because WordPress uses JQuery in no-conflict mode – if you replace every $ in your code with jQuery you may find it works.

If you don’t need the theme later you could just delete it.

The error message says that the file theme-shortcodes.php in the Gauge theme is redeclaring a class WPBakeryShortCode_Testimonial which has already been declared elsewhere – it’s probably just a bug in that particular theme.

hi there,
Actions & filters added by the parent theme can be removed by the child theme using remove_filter (link) and remove_action (link), so yes the child theme should be able to modify any behaviour of the parent theme.
Dan

hi there,
If you have FTP or Control Panel access to your server you could temporarily move the Gauge theme directory to another location which will force WordPress to use another theme.

Glad to hear it! You’re welcome

Did you rename .htaccess to something like old.htaccess then reload yoursite.com/wp-admin?

If so and that didn’t help you could try logging in with a different browser, or in a private window.

Beyond that I’m not sure of the cause I’m afraid.

hi Les,
Are you renaming the right .htaccess file? It should be in the root WordPress directory i.e. the same directory as wp-config.php etc.
Dan

Great, glad to have helped

You should be able to get this information from the company that hosts your website

hi there, your theme files may have got corrupted.

If you have an FTP or Control Panel login for your server you could try temporarily moving the twentyeleven theme folder to another location (rather than deleting it – you might have some custom changes in there that you want to keep).

This will force WordPress to use a different theme and maybe you can then re-install twentyeleven.

hi there,
The pagination is working for me. Maybe clear your browser cache, or try looking in a different browser?
Dan

hi there,
If you have either an FTP or Control Panel login for your hosting server you could try renaming the .htaccess file in your site’s WordPress directory.

Renaming it to OLD.htaccess, for example, will temporarily disable it and may allow you to login.

hi Tom, custom post types can be defined in the theme’s functions.php file. If you search for ‘library’ & ‘practitioner’ in functions.php you may be able to find & copy the appropriate functions to your new theme’s functions.php.

Templates to display the custom post types can be included in the theme’s files, but there are various ways this can be done. Look for files that include ‘library’ and ‘practitioner’ and copy them to your new theme’s directory.

It’s unlikely it’ll be as simple as that but this should get you started!
Dan

Ah I see. Do you have an FTP login to the server? Or a login for the server’s Control Panel? You could use either to edit the .htaccess file.

hi there, can you undo the change you made?
How did you edit .htaccess?
