Thanks, Jesper!
I’ll let you know how it goes…
Thank you, Jesper, for such a quick reply!
A few clarification questions I have: Before making the duplicator package, do I change the URL in WP’s general settings or do I do that at the time I am resaving my permalinks after the Duplicator rollout?
Just curious, did you “replace” your http website with the https version on the same domain and web host as I plan on doing? Did you blow away everything (as in the database and wordpress install) prior to installing the Duplicator files? Or did you overwrite the existing WP install? Not being very technical (but knowing enough to get myself in trouble), I apologize if I sound like a dimwit!
Also, I assume you are using the free version of Duplicator vs. the Pro?

Hi there,
I am getting ready to move a WordPress site that is http to https. I won’t be changing webhosts or domain names, just going to an https version. Bluehost is offering free SSLs for WordPress sites. From a workflow perspective, do I first do a Duplicator backup of the non-https live website, then get the SSL installed, then go through the Duplicator process to replace the existing installation? I am not a techie, so it’s hard to wrap my head around this…
Thanks in advance for any help!

In reply to: [Events Made Easy] Events Not Displaying on Events PageAddendum: A clarification — the page I am using to display the events is the PBPA Events page and the shortcode used there is [eme_events].
I just re-saved that page, and now all events are showing. So the problem may have been solved…Stay tuned. The test will be when I add a new event.

In reply to: [Events Made Easy] Events Not Displaying on Events PageI have been using this plugin for about 6 years (and keeping it updated). The directions said not to put anything in the events page as it will be ignored (so I have nothing in the events page): This is what appears in the backend when I click on the page “Events”:
“This page is used by Events Made Easy. Don’t change it, don’t use it in your menu’s, don’t delete it. Just make sure the EME setting called ‘Events page’ points to this page. EME uses this page to render any and all events, locations, bookings, maps, … anything. If you do want to delete this page, create a new one EME can use and update the EME setting ‘Events page’ accordingly.”I have not had this problem before.

In reply to: [Gallery by FooGallery] Thumbnail images pixelatedThanks for that info, but it didn’t help in my instance.
Here are my settings:
Media settings — thumbnail max size: 300px W x 300px H. Crop to exact size box unchecked.Foo Gallery settings: 300px W x 200px H. Crop box unchecked or checked (makes no difference).
The size of the uploaded images from which the thumbs are being generated is 600px x 400px.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advanceForum: Plugins
In reply to: [Gallery by FooGallery] Thumbnail images pixelatedYes, there is definitely still an issue.
If you flip between these two pages, you will see that the native WP thumbs are much clearer than the foo gallery thumbs:
Native gallery: http://www.prestigepandr.com/portfolio/
Foo gallery: http://www.prestigepandr.com/test/
The white house looks especially blurry….
Thanks for the help!

In reply to: [Gallery by FooGallery] Thumbnail images pixelatedHi,
I am having the same problem: http://www.prestigepandr.com/test/
The thumbnails are quite blurry. I have your dev version of the plugin installed, as you recommended in one of the threads, and the thumbnail quality set to 100. I have cleared the thumbnail cache.
On the gallery edit page, I have the thumbnail size set to 300 wide x 200 high and the crop thumbnail to exact dimensions box unchecked. (It does not make any difference whether it is checked or not).
On another page (http://www.prestigepandr.com/portfolio/) I have used the native WordPress Gallery and the thumbs are much clearer…
Any ideas on how to improve the FooGallery thumb quality?
Thanks in advance!Sorry, I posted this topic too soon. I see that you can uncheck item #4 on the settings page — Add a
<br />for line breaks? — and that fixes everything!

In reply to: [HMS Testimonials] Link to specific testimonial in Testimonials ListThanks a million, Jeff.
I can’t believe how quickly you respond! It’s incredible.So, just to clarify, this would be an example of what I would put in the Read More box of the Edit Testimonial page for testimonial 5 to have it link directly to that particular item on the Testimonials page?:

In reply to: [HMS Testimonials] Link to specific testimonial in Testimonials ListThanks for your prompt reply, Jeff!
I tried putting what you recommended above. That is, I put “http//monumenthomespa.com/testimonial#5” in the Read More box on the individual Edit Testimonial page for the testimonial whose ID is 5. However, after saving that, when I clicked on the READ MORE link in the sidebar widget displaying testimonial #5, it took me to the top of the list of testimonials on the Testimonials page. #5 is at the bottom of the page and below the fold.
Am I missing something? I want to retain the full list of testimonials on the Testimonials page but I want the Read More to connect to the beginning of its associated testimonial…
My client’s website is still under development so I can’t give you a live site to go to, but if need be, I can take off the Coming Soon Page briefly and expose the site at an agreed upon time…
Thanks again for your help!

In reply to: TwentyTen: Can't change featured image on blogI had the same problem, also, but was able to fix it as follows: on the dashboard, go to Appearance->Header. In the Custom Header window you can upload a custom header image to be used in place of the Twenty Ten images.
I did just that and voila!, my preferred image is now showing on the blog page! Hope the same works for you.Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Installing Multiple WordPress Sites on local hostThanks for the info, Vtxyzzy!
Since I am not seasoned in this sort of thing, please verify my following statement or provide assistance (thank you very much!):
I can use my existing mySQL installation and thru phpmyAdmin create a new database table for the new site. Then modify the new wp-config.php file in the new xampp/htdocs folder to point to that db table.
I haven’t done this in awhile, so is there a specific line in the wp-config.php folder into which I need to put the new path?
Sorry for sounding like a dullard!
And once again, thanks for the help…
