Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: No wp table created in new database.Tables are inserted into the database by the wp-admin/install.php program which you run from a web browser via http://
It should help you sort out the error message you are getting. Most common error is getting the database user/password wrong, by confusing it with the WordPress username/password or host account/Control Panel user/password.

In reply to: [Shortcodes Anywhere or Everywhere] In Menus?OK, here is what I know now. The following works:
- a text-generating shortcode
- inserted in Navigation Label of a Page entry in a Custom Menu
- controlled by this plugin’s “includes Page and Post titles everywhere except <title> (“the_title” filter)” checkbox
David may have other thoughts, but I am going to have to leave this for you to experiment with. Best way to experiment is to set (checkmark) all the checkboxes on the Settings page. If it works, then figure out which checkbox(es) are doing the job for you. If it doesn’t work, please respond so that David can add it to the list of items for the next version(s) of this and his other plugins.

In reply to: [Shortcodes Anywhere or Everywhere] In Menus?Sorry, Ron, give me an hour and I’ll see what I can dig up. Memory fades, especially at my age….

In reply to: [Shortcodes Anywhere or Everywhere] In Menus?I am the original author of this plugin, though David has adopted it and provides support now. You would need to select, on the Settings page, “In Widgets used in Sidebars, Menus, Headers, Footers, etc.”.
As I recall, I tested shortcodes in both widgets and menu entries, but only creating text, like the current year. So, as they say, “it should work”.
I’m no longer in a position where I can do detailed tests, so would suggest that you report back here if you run into any problems.

In reply to: configuration problemThis is probably what you want to take a look at:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPressAs you will see, it is more than just copying the files and database.

In reply to: Woocommerce problemsSupport for WooCommerce is here: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce
People who know WooCommerce don’t generally look here, so you should re-post there after closing this topic as resolved.
It also worthwhile looking around at the FAQs and the documentation it points to: https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/faq/
And the other support questions listed, in case you find an answer without having to ask.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Multiple Themes] Javascript requests causing theme to changeI’m the original author of this plugin, and I’m no longer in a position to provide Support (David has adopted this plugin and supports it now), but I did want to comment on one thing in the hopes that it might help you immediately.
The URLs you show in your post above all include the “#”. The PHP functions used by the plugin would see the “#” as the beginning of the name of a section of a page.
Whether right or wrong, I know that I never tested any situation like this.

In reply to: Blank pages main site and admin-cp – Already uploadedGeneric documentation on solving the “White Screen of Death” is here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Common_WordPress_ErrorsMy personal experience says that setting WP_DEBUG to TRUE in wp-config.php usually provides error messages instead of WSoD.
Because you had so much trouble with uploads, it is possible that there is an FTP reliability problem. To overcome it, I upload the .zip or .tar.gz original WordPress download, decompress it in a work directory on the web host, and move the files I want from the work directory to the WordPress directories.

In reply to: Blank pages main site and admin-cp – Already uploadedI get “Resource Limit Is Reached
The website is temporarily unable to service your request as it exceeded resource limit. Please try again later.”You should be talking to your web hosting company about this.

In reply to: Help needed. Moesia theme, changing imagesI doubt that any experts on that Theme will see your post here. I would suggest closing this thread as resolved and go to the support area for the theme at https://wordpress.org/support/theme/moesia
If you can’t find an answer there, you can re-post your questions there.

In reply to: Adding WordPress to existing domain“Can the WordPress be installed in the ROOT where there are already existing files?” Yes, but it is “just asking for trouble”.
I always install WordPress in a subdirectory off the Root, and then use the “Using a pre-existing subdirectory install” section of this Codex page to make it look like WordPress is in the Root: https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory#Using_a_pre-existing_subdirectory_install
It also allows you to develop a WordPress site in the subdirectory without impacting the existing web site in the Root. The final switch from old (existing Root) to new (WordPress) can also be done in a matter of seconds.

In reply to: Can't Login To my wordpress WP-adminDomain names have to be registered with a Domain Name Registrar, at a cost of $10-$20 per year on average, before they work, and then you can wait up to 72 hours for that to happen.
As I say, talk to your new web hosting company as they will have a way (a lengthy URL) for you to access your web site before your domain’s Name Servers are changed at your Domain Registrar’s, to point to your new web hosting.

In reply to: Can't Login To my wordpress WP-adminA domain name only points to one web hosting company at any given time. And it takes up to 72 hours to be moved.
In your case, it obviously still points to your old web hosting company.
You will need to get an alternate URL from your new web hosting company to access your WordPress site on your new web hosting company. And you will have to change your Site URL and WordPress URL in WordPress Admin panel General Settings to match that alternate URL.
Once you have it working the way you want, then you have to change where your domain name points, usually known as “Name Servers”. That is done with your Domain Name Registrar.

In reply to: New Theme Keeps Refreshing in Customize Pagehttp://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products
As it (at the link above) explains, Paid Themes are not supported here. As well as what is stated there, those of us who volunteer to help on these Support Forums cannot afford to buy a Theme just to diagnose a problem that someone is experiencing.
You will have to contact Theme Forest for help, since Support is part of what you paid them for.

In reply to: [My Private Site] MultisiteUnfortunately, I don’t have a solution for that issue.
My solution was intended to give you access to the second site even when you register on the first site and have no User Role on the second site.
Could you test that out?
