Have you tried:
– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
– switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems?
– resetting any custom permalinks back to the default setting?
hi esmi
thanks for thoughts. have been through each of your suggestions but unfortunately they dont cure/allow the admin change.
This is the line it says on the page:
“You don’t have permission to access /mykblogs/wp-admin/options.php on this server”
there is nowhere on the page to ask… why not! and… says who!
o)
thanks for link… I am exploring the options in it for a possible solution…
… meantime…
… where can i find the file that stores the ‘number’ that i choose for ‘posts-per-page’, so i can alter it via txt editor and ftp?
(the admin page is wp-admin/options-reading.php), but where, what folder/page, is the actual chosen ‘number’ stored… so i can change it manually?
cheers for thoughts/knowledge on this
When you say “change it manually”, do you want to change on on specific pages? If so, adding:
<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args= array(
'posts_per_page' => 6,
'paged' => $paged
);
query_posts($args);
?>
just above the start of the Loop would result in 6 posts on any page that used that template. The value in Admin/Settings/Reading is storied in the wp-options table of the db.
thanks esmi.
your first bit very interesting (maybe for future ideas) but for now just a simple ”change the number” option was sort…
… which you have helped with in your last bit of info… the wp-options in the db…
I accessed this through PHPmyAdmin and changed from it from 6 to 7 (my choice), then when i returned to my blogs’ admin panel, it was showing as if I had done the change there… SORTED!
Thanks for thinking on that one….
… I will continue my mission to find out why I get the FORBIDDEN page when I try it as usual, in admin.
(I have updated now to the 2.9 to see if that ressolves… but no, unfortunately).
… onwards!
cheers
