In reply to: [Shortcodes Anywhere or Everywhere] FooterTo test, I installed both plugins (Shortcodes Anywhere or Everywhere and Current Year and Copyright Shortcodes) and turned on all the Where? options in Anywhere/Everywhere, and it works for me when I put a [y] in my Post and view it on the Front Page. And when I put a Text widget with [y] in it, in the Content Bottom 1 area of the Widgets Admin panel.
Both times, “2016” appears instead of “[y]”.
I’m not official Support for these plugins, and I will be in and out of the office today, so it may take several hours to respond, so please be patient.
P.S. – for some reason the widget does not appear at the bottom of the Front Page (which I’ve set to Most Recent Posts), but that may be normal as I don’t use that feature on my own web sites.

In reply to: Need to add online booking with calendarNot something I’ve done, but this search gave me lots of ideas about how to do it:

In reply to: [Multiple Themes] More than 2 themes possible?Themes should automatically appear on that list as soon as they are installed. The only exception that I am aware of is in a WordPress Network (Multisite) where the Themes available are controlled by the SuperAdmin.
This is “off the top of my head” advice, so please let me know if I missed something.

In reply to: Migration WordPress.com to wordpress.orgPlease re-post here: https://es.forums.wordpress.org/forum/instalacion
which is the Spanish equivalent of this forum.Por favor re-post aquí: https://es.forums.wordpress.org/forum/instalacion
que es el equivalente español de este foro.Best guess based on not seeing the rest of the file (please don’t post it, as it has security-sensitive info in it) is a missing semi-colon at the end of the previous statement: line 65 or earlier, depending on the use of blank lines and comments.

In reply to: [My Private Site] Nice for most sitesThanks for the update! I’m sure that David, who now supports the plugin, will appreciate the information.

In reply to: [My Private Site] Nice for most sitesWorks for me on a Multi-site install that was recently automatically upgraded to 4.5.1.
I’m not doing official support, but best place to start to debug is turning WP_DEBUG on (to TRUE) in wp-config.php.

In reply to: Migration strategy, old WP site to new WP siteThe Duplicator plugin handles both cases (same host and new host), but the steps are different, in a different section of https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_to_a_New_Server
Definitely worth a read even if you end up using the Duplicator plugin.

In reply to: Migration strategy, old WP site to new WP siteIt is actually a lot safer to migrate to a different provider now, rather than develop on the old. The only difficulty is the 72 hours it takes to move a domain name, i.e. – have it propagate around the world.
For that reason, I would recommend cloning the old site to new hosting “first” before starting your project, then you can have the site on both hosting companies’ accounts for 72 hours so that the site works for everyone worldwide during the domain name move.

In reply to: Migration strategy, old WP site to new WP siteOops, I forgot the most obvious point. Before you begin, figure out the best way to backup both the WordPress files and database. I’m not pointing you to WordPress documentation for this, as most web hosts have much better approaches to backup. Ideally, you should make sure the restore works before proceeding
Then start backing up at each major step of the way. And keep the backup until you are finished your project.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Migration strategy, old WP site to new WP site(1) Cloning – the easiest way, if it works in your hosting environment, is the automatic approach with this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
The manual approach is described here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_Directories_On_Your_Existing_Server(2) Discourage Search Engines – “Search Engine Visibility” as described here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Reading_Screen
(3) Making a subdirectory install appear as if it is in the root: https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory#Using_a_pre-existing_subdirectory_install
(4) A final caution: resist the temptation to use the same WordPress database for the clone site. It significantly increases your chance of accidentally clobbering the live (old) site. Instead, use a new database for your cloned site.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Migration strategy, old WP site to new WP siteIt can be as simple as “cloning” the existing site to a folder (subdirectory) off the existing site and working on it there, with the “Discourage Search Engines” setting set. When you are ready to go live, you can get your subdirectory install to look like it is in the root.
I’ll give you details in a moment, in a follow-up post.

In reply to: Locked outYou could also consider restoring the Users table from a backup of your WordPress database.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Locked outI would suggest starting here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Login_Trouble#Edit_Users_Table
“Edit Users Table” should tell you if you do indeed have any Users left. As well as what you will see on that page, I would suggest reading:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_PasswordHopefully, some place in these, you will find a solution that will work for you.
Obviously, I’m assuming that, as well as SFTP, you also have phpmyadmin access.
