In reply to: Links BrokenGreat advice!
In more general terms, it is important to realize that what you are doing is technically “Moving WordPress”. As such, you would be wise to review the official documentation on the subject: http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress

In reply to: remove (Leave a Reply) only sometimes worksI solve this problem differently since I refuse to change WordPress Core files as the changes disappear every time WordPress is automatically updated.
I’ve used this plugin in the past:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-comments/I have also used this setting when I first start a new site:
“Allow people to post comments on new articles” described here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Discussion_ScreenFor existing pages, I’ve used Quick Edit when there are a small number of them, to disable commenting:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages_ScreenAnd, for large numbers of Pages, I’ve done mass updates of the WordPress database.
But the plugin I named first does a nice job, though deactivating it will allow comments.

In reply to: Image URLNo, if you look in your Media Library from the WordPress Admin panels, and click on an Image you want to use, you will see File URL in the right sidebar. That is what you are looking for.
Assuming that you want the full size image.

In reply to: Wamp Server and WordPressCompare this page
https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/
with this page
http://www.wampserver.com/en/
in the Downloads section where it lists the PHP and MySQL versions.So, yes is the answer.
Personally, I prefer XAMPP, but the choice is yours.

In reply to: [Multiple Themes] version 6 cant understand RTL caractersAs I said, non-English URLs are an area I know very little about. From what I’ve researched and read about combined RTL and LTR strings, I now realize that the area is a lot more complex to address fully, than I previously imagined.
I think I am going to have to take a different approach. If you are willing, I would like to suggest that I create “proof of concept” version(s) of my plugin, which you would then test for me, to see how well it addresses RTL-related issues.
If you are agreeable, please contact me through http://jonradio.com/contact-us/ so that I can e-mail you my proof of concept versions as they become available, and you can test them.

In reply to: [Multiple Themes] version 6 cant understand RTL caractersProgress report: I lack expertise in RTL issues, but I believe that I may have found the problem. I remove some or all %E2%80%8E sequences from values entered on the plugin’s Settings page because of an early problem experienced by one user several years ago.
I’ll be researching this more, but I suspect that the solution will be to provide a Setting that disables this removal of %E2%80%8E as it is still a good idea to do the removal for non-RTL sites.
If you have any thoughts on the subject, I’d be happy to hear from you. Otherwise, I will continue in this direction.

In reply to: My site was hacked – first time for mehow did he know I use paul black theme?
Your home page HTML source would have included a line like this near the top:
<link href='http://www.xxxx.com/wp-content/themes/paulblack/style.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Multiple Themes] version 6 cant understand RTL caractersThere was a bug in Version 6.0 and 6.0.1 that did not process the query after the ? in a URL when it was being stored in Settings, so that theme selection matches operated as if the setting did not have the ? (query).
That was resolved in 6.0.2, but settings with ? that were entered in 6.0 and 6.0.1 have to be deleted and re-entered in 6.0.2 to work as they should.
I did not test non-English characters in URLs during development of Version 6, but I will do my best to do that now. I will report back here when I’m done.
Thank you for taking the time to notify me of these problems. I want to work with you to resolve them.

In reply to: [Multiple Themes] Version 6 problemsVersion 6.0.2 has fixed this issue, since it involved URLs with “?” (query) in them. However, it required that each of these URL settings had to be deleted and re-created in Version 6.0.2 to properly create the internal structures that 6.0 and 6.0.1 had created incorrectly, either from a newly-entered Setting or a bad conversions from Version 4.x or 5.x.

In reply to: [Multiple Themes] DO NOT UPGRADE TO LAST VERSION 6!!Another thread has confirmation to all this:
It appears one of our servers had a bad copy of the Twenty Fourteen theme for a short period of time. If you downloaded it at that time, you had a small chance of receiving a corrupted version.
I’ve manually rebuilt the files on each server and verified that they are good versions now. You can safely update to version 1.3 of the theme without issues.
Sorry for the inconvenience. (Otto)

In reply to: [Twenty Fourteen] 1.3 breaks my sitesYes, it was updated with a zip with a single file with no extension. Then updated again with the right copy, which was what I was referring to in my last post.
