In reply to: Allow visitors to choose background colorFound perfect solution.WPChameleon plug-in.After installing ,leave first field blank on plug-in’s edit page and insert body background css into second field
Apparently a ‘Change Background’ option link appears on the home page.Whether it creates a cookie for individual users I don’t know.
The plug-in is available via dashboard ‘Add New’ plug-inand search by nameForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WP admin login bloqued, no authorizationUse FTP to make sure the index.php permission is 775.Then check wp-config.php to see if MySQL entries[new database name,username,password]
are correct.You may have to go to c-panel and create a new database–pretty easy.Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: WP integration with Ruby on RailsTo esmi: you are a real pro by all the great advice I have seen you give to so many others.

In reply to: WP integration with Ruby on RailsAs long as the microsite is a separate directory,no problem.Just make sure your new directory contains an .htaccess file [default but installation can miss it] and a php.ini file even if it is blank in content.

In reply to: Really strange problem with imageThe top 3 images seem to be in a horizontal sidebar on top.If you inserted them into a sidebar like a text widget then you use html with link parameters.But I think you inserted them into your stylesheet using url(pictureaddress)You have to add the target for those pictures without using quotation marks.
As far as the logo appearing at the left behind the flower: that is the default position;go to header.php in the theme editor to move it using valid element parameters like vspace,hspace.Make a copy of the header php before changing.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Home page and PostsCheck the admin dashboard “Reading” settings options
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Difficulties with uploading pictures<img src=”https://yourblogadress.com/wp-content/uploads/picturename.jpg” alt=””>
Insert as html into posts or pages;note the quotation marks; plus picture caption between alt quotes.If adding pictures into css use url(http-address as above but no quotation marks )
If pictures do not upload via the admin dashboard options check your ‘Writig’ and Reading ‘ and ‘Media’ settings.
Also you can use FTP to upload pictures into the upload folder at the above html address.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: 403 Forbidden messagehttps://yourblogname/wp-admin/ will bring you to log in page
Actually the root problem is the htaccess file if you get a 403 page and sometimes a faulty permission for index.php.
Access the .htaccess file via c-panel [FTP has issues changing the .htaccess file]
Permissions can be changed via both c-panel and FTP.The .htaccess file in the root folder only needs
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>There are up to 3 .htaccess files in a Word Press installation.
All kinds of things can be added if you know what you are doing.Make additions via c-panel for trial and error.

In reply to: if htaccess file were writable – BUT IT IS!!!It’s not the .htaccess file (there are 3 by the way) that needs to be writable but the wp-config.php file [temporarily at least].Besides,you can copy and paste into the main .htaccess file using c-panel or the GoDaddy equivalent.Don’t use FTP for this It is possible but complicated because FTP relies on htaccess to delete,upload,download and paste or overwrite files.
If you don’t like the looks of the permalinks install the latest ‘PrettyLinks” plug-in.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Constant recurring errorIf your index.php permissions are correct and your htaccess file is not corrupt ,then only the wp-congig.php needs attention Copy the php.ini file from the publi_html root folder into your blog directory.
