I am using the paypal extension for contact form 7, i don’t know much about coding or short codes, but could someone possibly tell me how the shortcode should look if i don’t want to indicate a specific PRICE people have to pay when they press the button to pay? I wan them to be able to indicate their own price (because I want the button to be universal for several types of payments). * Thank you!! * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [Updated to MAMP 3.5, now localhost site won't connect](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-to-mamp-35-now-localhost-site-wont-connect/) * [ALiesting](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aliesting/) * (@aliesting) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-to-mamp-35-now-localhost-site-wont-connect/#post-6883799) * I also then completely gave up and installed xampp – tried it all with that and it worked, except as soon as in finished the WordPress setup i got the following error notice on a wordpress screen (right above the login for wordpress). As a kind of FYI notice. The rest of the setup went fine and i got to insert the username, password, etc. Any ideas? * the notice had something to do with telling me the UTF was corellation or something was set to 0 but when i looked in the code of the wp-config.php it says the DB_CHARSET is utf8…so I don’t get it and I don’t know if this is damaging or going to affect my site if i keep working on it in the wordpress environment that is set up ( and working)? I don’t want to waste time buildling something then later have some issue because this couldn’t be solved. 🙁 * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [Updated to MAMP 3.5, now localhost site won't connect](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-to-mamp-35-now-localhost-site-wont-connect/) * [ALiesting](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aliesting/) * (@aliesting) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-to-mamp-35-now-localhost-site-wont-connect/#post-6883798) * sorry 2206 was a typo – obviousy i meant 3306 😉 * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [Updated to MAMP 3.5, now localhost site won't connect](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-to-mamp-35-now-localhost-site-wont-connect/) * [ALiesting](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aliesting/) * (@aliesting) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-to-mamp-35-now-localhost-site-wont-connect/#post-6883797) * Hi, I just tried that, I hit the button that said set the ports to 2206 and 80, it set the ports as such: * Apache: 80 Nginx Port: 80 MySQL Port:3306 * But now mamp won’t connect to apache server. It shows only a green light by the mysql. * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [Hosting on my own computer.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hosting-on-my-own-computer/) * [ALiesting](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aliesting/) * (@aliesting) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hosting-on-my-own-computer/#post-6878874) * Hi, I am using MAMP 3.5 – i am really new to all this and it’s getting rather confusing now. * I installed MAMP, downloaded the wordpress documents from wordpress.org, got as far as making a database in myphpadmin, and now when i wanna go to localhost: 8888 i get a blank white screen. I have tried: * – renaming the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php and just changing the one part in the code to “true” to show any errors instead of a blank screen ( i read somewhere to do that). But I still see a blank screen. * I am not savvy with php or code, so i am very confused why it is not working this time around. I remember downloading (a previous version of) wordpress a couple months ago, and using mamp to set it all up and it worked just fine. This is the first time this is happening. I can’t get to the next step of “config” to indicate the database and username etc, in order to host my site locally while I work on it. * I would appreciate if someone could urgently help me out here. * Thank you so much! * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [Updated to MAMP 3.5, now localhost site won't connect](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-to-mamp-35-now-localhost-site-wont-connect/) * [ALiesting](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aliesting/) * (@aliesting) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updated-to-mamp-35-now-localhost-site-wont-connect/#post-6883764) * Hi, I am using MAMP 3.5 – i am really new to all this and it’s getting rather confusing now. * I installed MAMP, downloaded the wordpress documents from wordpress.org, got as far as making a database in myphpadmin, and now when i wanna go to localhost: 8888 i get a blank white screen.
