You seem to have urls that are still pointing to
localhost. -
Posted 9 months ago #so do i have to change them to be pointing somewhere else like the domain name.
-
Yes. You shouldn't have any hard-coded urls in a theme. You should be using WP functions like
bloginfo('url')etc. -
Posted 9 months ago #would it be easier if i start the website over or just find all the problem points and change them??
-
What do you have entered for the site urls within Settings -> General?
-
Posted 9 months ago #I have http://localhost entered in both.
Should i change it to my domain name? -
Yes. See Changing_The_Site_URL.

-
Use the functions.php option if you can.
-
Posted 9 months ago #Should I edit the functions.php using the editor for the theme??
-
Yes.

Posted 9 months ago #Okay it works but now when I go into wp-admin and try to click on widgets or plugins it says failed to connect. What should i do now or does that mean I messed up.
-
What url is it trying to connect to? Did you remove those lines from functions.php as soon as the site started working again??
-
Posted 9 months ago #Yes, i removed the lines. I am trying to connect to fathomcraft.dyndns.org. Though I haven't restart my wamp server that is running. Should I try that.

Posted 9 months ago #fathomcraft.dyndns.org, I restarted the wamp server and everything works perfect now. Thanks. I'll post more on this if I see that anything else is messed up.
