In reply to: How to limit character on post titleHopefully, you are doing this in Child Themes you have created for your Theme or you will lose those changes in the next new version of the Theme.
If all you want to do is limit the display length, not try and prevent entry of a longer post title, then you would still be much better off writing your own plugin (or create a Child Theme and add to functions.php) to do it with a Filter.
There are actually three Filters you can choose from (pick one or all of them, depending on what you want):

In reply to: How to login to WordPress (set up account)Sorry, but I was away until now. Getting logged into phpMyAdmin is something that BlueHost support can help you with. Since I cannot see inside your BlueHost account, and they can, they are a lot better able to help.
But, to explain a few things first:
- Your BlueHost user ID (wholeyre is what you mention) will get you on to BlueHost’s cPanel, which allows you to use phpMyAdmin without any further ID and password;
- The ID and password you use for this forum (mkchavez) does not work for anything else;
- Your WordPress site on BlueHost is completely separate, in terms of username and password
Sorry for the delay.

“Login to cPanel and click the phpMyAdmin icon in the Databases section.”Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to login to WordPress (set up account)Yes, phpmyadmin is on BlueHost’s control panel, as I remember.

In reply to: Getting Rid of my WordPress Splash PageAs for the Splash page and redirection, it is an index.html file in your web site’s root directory. Rename it or delete it after you’ve done what it says in the documentation linked above.

In reply to: How to login to WordPress (set up account)The username is defined during the installation of WordPress on BlueHost.
If you don’t know the username that you used, you will probably have to use phpmyadmin as described here:

In reply to: [My Private Site] Problem with custom login pagePlease see your thread here:

In reply to: [My Private Site] Problem with custom login pageI have lots of of sites, my own and others, where I have this working, so it must be something unusual about your WordPress settings.
Could you cut and paste in a response to this post, the value in the “Site Address (URL)” field on the WordPress Admin panel Settings-General?
The error means that that value is not a “Prefix” of “http://cg.socialtheories.info/pub-login/”, which I assume is the value you entered in the Custom Login URL field of my plugin’s Setting page.
One last request: is this a single site or a WordPress Network (multi-site) install of WordPress?

In reply to: How to limit character on post titleThe Limit Post Titles is new and the author is likely eager to hear from you if you are not able to do what you want to. Doesn’t the description say it will do exactly what you want?
You can contact the plugin author on this page:
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/limit-post-titlesOther than writing your own personal plugin, there really are not a lot of other good ways to do what you want.

In reply to: How to limit character on post titleI would recommend that you search through the Plugin Directory. For example, my 5 second search turned up this, which looks promising:

In reply to: Moving large websiteI have moved sites as large as 4.2GB on several occasions. The fastest and most reliable method has involved going one step farther than James, as I’ve had access to tar.gz format compression and decompression on both the source and destination servers.
My point is that I would much prefer to move a dozen or so large .tar.gz compressed files than I would tens of thousands of smaller files.
To speed things up, I try and transfer directly across the Internet between the two web servers, rather than download to my own PC and upload to the new server, because home Internet speeds, especially upload, are so slow.
Finally, last time I checked, Windows still has a bug with the built-in .zip decompression on files bigger than 4GB, I think it is. It will give you some zero length files. Which is why I stick to GZip.

In reply to: Looks different for admin and viewer – Divi ThemeAs explained here, we do not have access to Paid Themes, so you should be talking directly to Elegant Themes.

In reply to: [Multiple Themes] Change theme on different addressA lot there to look at, but you will want to read the relevant parts of the Theme Options tab on my plugin’s Settings page.
As you’ll see, I don’t have a solution with the plugin itself, but merely some Workarounds that work for most people. It talks about Widgets working best with Method #2, which requires another plugin, Theme Test Drive.
Let me know if you have any questions.

In reply to: Moved content to root directory: now it's a nightmare.As a retired Computing person who has been programming since 1971, I have to say that this is a reality with Software. Doing the same thing with two different pieces of software can be the difference between a month’s work and no work at all. Seemingly innocent design decisions made during the very earliest days of a now “large” software product like WordPress can make some things simple and some things relatively difficult. And trying to change them later becomes impossible because it would force your existing user base to rebuild all their web sites. Remember, there are millions of WordPress web sites out there!
Remember how much it cost to fix Y2K issues? Same idea.

In reply to: Moved content to root directory: now it's a nightmare.Working your way requires following the instructions in this section “Moving Directories On Your Existing Server” on this page:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_Directories_On_Your_Existing_ServerObviously, you have done some of these steps already. The trick is to figure out what you haven’t done.
