In reply to: Delete blog and install new one at same website addressYou are right, I was assuming you had done an install in the manner described at https://wordpress.org/download/
Like you, I have used Softa…. in the distant past and ended up deleting the WordPress files and database and starting over from https://wordpress.org/download/
I found that I still got messages from Softa… every once in a while, but just ignored them.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Memory issues on VPSWhat you describe has been reported before, so is not unusual, even for relatively low volume sites. I have experienced this myself 3-4 years ago. All it takes is too many visitors at the same time.
You didn’t say how much RAM you have on your VPS. Myself, even for low volume WordPress sites, I buy a VPS package that has a minimum of 2GB RAM and then I install a 4GB swap file. I am paying less than $5 per month for mine, though not at DreamHost.
For higher volume sites, I prefer shared hosting as it gets me away from memory issues. But then the issue becomes one of finding reliable shared hosting.

In reply to: MAMP localhost 500 errorThe Fatal error message holds the answer. It is saying that it cannot open
/wp-includes/widgets/class-wp-widget-search.phpwhich likely means the file is missing, though it could also be a permissions issue.Assuming the file is missing, it means that something went wrong during the install and some of the files are missing, as I checked and that file exists in the download of the current version of WordPres.

In reply to: Delete blog and install new one at same website addressThe cleanest way to re-install the way you seem to want to would be to:
- Delete the WordPress Directory, or, if WordPress is installed in the Root, delete all the files and directories in the Root of the Domain, assuming you don’t have anything else except WordPress on your domain; and
- Empty your WordPress Database – phpmyadmin is the most common way to do that
You would then download WordPress again and follow the instructions for installing from scratch.
Why is there not a Delete button the Admin panels? Too likely that someone will do it by accident.

In reply to: Linking Subdomain InstallationGiven there are two sets of WordPress files, this is two single-site WordPress installations. As such, WordPress does not link the two sites together; somebody created the links manually.
As for the two sites have the same login ID and password, that was also done manually. However, if you login to one site and don’t have to login to the other, then something else is going on, typically a Single SignOn (SSO) plugin or service was installed.
In summary, to answer your question: each site is administered separately from a WordPress Admin panel perspective.

In reply to: Menu links not working after transfer from domainAs you will see from the Moving WordPress documentation, you also need to be running a Search/Replace function to update all remaining links.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPressIt would also be a good idea to review all the steps listed in the relevant section of the documentation, to be sure that nothing else got missed.

In reply to: SEO plug in – now only logo on website !Each plugin has its own Support forum. You need to be posting there for help.
Not that I’m unwilling to help, but:
- That is where the experts on the plugin are; and
- You didn’t say which plugin you are using

In reply to: Connecting WordPress with domain and hostingMaybe I misunderstood you, but from what you are saying, it sounds like you did not install WordPress on Lithium’s hosting account. Lithium should have provided you with instructions on how to get files transferred to their web hosting account, and how to define a database there.
In any case, Lithium will be better able to help you than anyone here, as things differ from one web host to the next.

In reply to: How to pass value in wordpress urlIf you have PHP programming skills, you can access $_SERVER[‘QUERY_STRING’] described here: http://php.net/reserved.variables.server
The parse_str() function in PHP will process $_SERVER[‘QUERY_STRING’] for you: http://php.net/manual/en/function.parse-str.php
One suggestion: just use ref=www.myreferallink.com and use PHP to add the “http://”, as // may get modified somewhere along the way.

In reply to: Why is it so hard to transfer a wordpress site to a new domain?The Duplicator plugin has saved me a lot of time in numerous WordPress site moves, including ones that change the domain name: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
I wasn’t clear if you are actually moving WordPress or just changing the domain name. For actual moves, I used to follow this documentation (before I found Duplicator) and it only took me hours if the site was extremely large. Otherwise, half an hour or less.

In reply to: Why insist on FTP for upgrades?I haven’t personally experienced this recently, but the last time it happened to me — WordPress insisting on FTP for updates of itself and plugins/themes — it was a Permissions issue. WordPress did not have Write permission to one or more of the directories that WordPress occupied.
For example, in many Linux/Apache environments, www-data is the user ID that WordPress operates under. It is easy, at least for me, to install WordPress with all files and directories as either root or nobody user IDs, which will create strange problems, such as the prompt for FTP since HTTP updating won’t work.
At the risk of stating what seems to me to be the obvious conclusion from what you have said: Trellis is where the conflict lies. A one minute review of the Trellis web site tells me that it includes plugins, or the equivalent of plugins.
The first place I would look, given past experience, is Caching. Find some way to (at least, temporarily) turn off Trellis caching. This guess of mine is further supported by this message you mention in your initial post:
Fatal error: Maximum function nesting level of ‘200’ reached, aborting! in /srv/www/assigntime.com/current/web/wp/wp-includes/cache.php on line 725
[call stack]Even though cache.php is a WordPress module, it is not, to the best of my knowledge, actually used except by Plugins and such that do Caching.
I should expand my previous statement to say:
An educated guess would say that the other plugin or theme that is causing the issue is hooking into wp_get_themes(), and calling get_stylesheet(), either directly or indirectly (through another function).
David is official support, but my experience is that this is almost certainly an interaction with another plugin or theme. I have never seen that particular type of display before, so I am assuming that “nested” is actually recursive calls.
If so, lines 15 and 22 both being get_stylesheet() is the proof of the problem. The Multiple Themes plugin is triggered by get_stylesheet() using the official WordPress hook.
An educated guess would say that the other plugin or theme that is causing the issue is hooking into wp_get_themes().
