In reply to: "database connection error" – specific questionsHey Toni,
I’m also seeing this on my site from time to time. It’s hard to find the cause, because it only happens occasionally. My best guess is that it is related to a plugin, or to conflicting plugins.
I’d suggest to look into plugins that need lots of resources. If possible, try to deactivate these and see if it still occurs.
On my site I tend to think that there is a conflict between W3 Total Cache and Wordfence, but I did not deactivate them yet. Lowering “Maximum execution time for each scan stage” settings in Wordfence seems to have helped, but only a bit. I’m having trouble completing scans too, but not when I start them manually. And lowering the setting to its minimum didn’t help.
I’ll do some more digging before I report it, but it would be helpful to know if you would happen to have these plugins active on your site as well.
Else…
Perhaps it helps to activate your error log. You can do so in wp-config.php by adding the following right before where it says “stop editing”.
define('WP_DEBUG', true); define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true); define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);You will then find your log in “wp-content”, named “debug.log”. Best don’t wait too long before you check it. In case there are errors the file may become pretty big in no time. Once done you can set
WP_DEBUGtofalseand delete the error log.I hope this helps. GL with it!
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Fukasawa] 4 or 5 columns?No, the number of columns is not set. The .content is set to
.content { width: 1200px; max-width: 86%; margin: 40px auto 50px; }In your child theme you could set it to f.ex.
.content { width: 95%; margin: 40px auto 50px; }You then still have 3 columns. This is set by:
.posts .post-container { width: 33.33333%; padding: 10px; overflow: hidden; }You can change that to the following to have 4 columns:
.posts .post-container { width: 25%; padding: 10px; overflow: hidden; }However, it might be better to only do so on wide screens.
This could be done like this:@media (min-width: 1800px) { .content { width: 95%; } .posts .post-container { width: 25%; } }I’m not sure this will not impact anything else though. I only looked at the homepage, but I guess you’ll get the idea.

In reply to: [WordPress Social Login] Require Google login & disable WP login?You turn off registration in WordPress. Users will still be able to register/login with WPSL.

In reply to: [WordPress Social Login] Impact to page speedOn my site WPSL is not even mentioned, but I wonder how correct these results are. E.g. it says there are 47 plugins active, which is not correct. And it only shows results of 9 plugins. P3 has by far the biggest impact (probably since it’s scanning at the time).
I’d suggest to verify with:
– http://gtmetrix.com/
– https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/
– http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/If the impact is high, it probably will be due to images loading. You can drop these, or replace them with Font Awesome icons for that reason.

In reply to: Multisite/Network not showing in TOOLSWhat do you mean with “I installed Multisite plugin”?
To turn your WordPress website into a multisite, you should first only add
define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );to wp-config.php. When you’ve done that the network setup should show up in the tools menu, allowing you to proceed. Once multisite is active, the network setup menu is no longer there. So, you may have added too much to wp-config.php already.The ‘Create a Network‘ page in the codex has all info on how to set it up. I would suggest to turn back on your steps and follow the advice there.
I hope this helps. GL!

In reply to: Error 500 in some pagesHey Acrobata,
This probably is not be related, but there is something wrong with your theme. Metadata and link tags get added to the body instead of in the head. That is likely because the
wp_head()hook is not in the head. This should be the last element before the closing</head>tag.
info: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_headIf you created the theme yourself, you can simply move this element, else contact the author, or use a different theme, because this is pretty fundamental, so there may be other things wrong with the theme. (my2ct)
I’ve never come across an internal server error that only happened on a couple of screens. So, it beats me, but I would suggest to see if it helps when you deactivate plugins that may impact this. Or you could take a backup and update WordPress manually.
I hope this helps. GL!

In reply to: Recent upgrade 4.3 backups are now a problemWithout info on how you take backups it’s impossible to help.
If you take backups with cPanel, this probably has nothing to do with WordPress. It might be better to contact your host.
If you use a WordPress plugin for backup, it would be better to address this in the plugin support forum. See plugin page > support.

In reply to: Moving to Multisite – QuestionAh, my bad… I think I’m getting what you mean… To make the different domains work with one multisite, you need to add an A record to your DNS with the server IP as value. Maybe that’s what happens when you create an addon domain though, I’m not very familiar with that. Best read the domain mapping instructions (if that’s the plugin you’re planning to use).
Forum: Networking WordPress
In reply to: Moving to Multisite – QuestionThus keeping ONE Multisite installation or keep cutedog and the other .com domains as add-on to one.com?
For SEO it’s better not to have the same content on different domains. So, I’d redirect rather than making it an addon.
I would want people to see cutedog.com but really they are going to cutedog.one.com. I think that is domain mapping, right?
That’s correct.
If let’s say cutedog.com and cuteparrot.com both have same theme and I change the footer.php, I would be changing the footer for both cutedog AND cuteparrot, correct?
Indeed.
Right now with their own separate installation (and both having same theme), I can change the footer.php from cutedog without affecting cuteparrot, correct?
Obviously. If you want to achieve this on a multisite you can create a child theme and add the footer.php to it.
How would Akismet work in multisite? all those domains have their own Akismet key thing. Would they keep their own key thing or one whole key for the Network?
I use anti-spam instead, so I didn’t try it, but it’s said that you can add the key to your wp-config.php.
define('WPCOM_API_KEY','your-key');I came accross this problem, it was caused by an .htaccess rule to remove query parameters from URLs:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !="" RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^p=.* RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^s=.* RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wp-admin.* RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1? [R=301,L] </IfModule>Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Font Awesome 4 Menus] Making Icons BiggerHe Brian, I’m not using this plugin, but to make font awesome icons bigger you have 2 options:
1. via CSS
– make all icons the same size:
.fa { font-size: 3em; }– make your menu icons the same size, assuming your menu has class “menu”:
.menu .fa { font-size: 3em; }2. using Font Awesome CSS: add an extra class, fa-2x, fa-3x, fa-4x, or fa-5x
e.g.<i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-2x"></i> <i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-3x"></i> <i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-4x"></i> <i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-5x"></i>More examples can be found on the Font Awesome website.

In reply to: [WordPress Social Login] WSL no longer works since upgrade to 4.3Thanks for your response, Remedy.
I just found the problem though. It was something in my .htaccess to remove query parameters.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !="" RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^p=.* RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^s=.* RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wp-admin.* RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1? [R=301,L] </IfModule>This also caused the logout problem.

In reply to: Unable to logout after upgrade to 4.3Problem solved. It was caused by something I added to .htaccess to remove extra query parameters.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !="" RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^p=.* RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^s=.* RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wp-admin.* RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1? [R=301,L] </IfModule>If I well understand it’s too late to be scared. The data would go lost when you upgrade to WP4.3, not when you upgrade to G2.1.3… But to be entirely sure you could ask the Genesis support. It’s not a free theme, so it’s in fact not supported here.
