In reply to: [Sidekick] Very ExcitingThanks David.
To answer your question, SIDEKICK does recognize hover states, the reason we chose to do the WordPress Basics Walkthroughs this way was to maximize compatibility from anywhere inside the dashboard and enable learning.

WordPress dropped 3.9.2 very suddenly and we had Walkthroughs updated within 2 hours of it’s release.
Thank you.

In reply to: Trouble with Getty ImagesThe old posts are likely showing the images because they are cached.
I suggest verifying the URL with Getty on the images. It’s possible they added https or something else to their embeds.

In reply to: Multisite-Woocommerce-Paypal QuestionHi Mike,
Not sure exactly what the issue is here but I’ll see what I can do.
1. You don’t need SSL certificates to secure your sites from hacking per se, you need a strong host and service like https://sucuri.net.
An SSL cert encrypts the data between the user and your site and let’s the user know that they are in fact giving their information to you and not some spoof. So it is a great idea for any site that asks for user information and allows users to login but it’s not 100% necessary.
2. An SSL Cert IS necessary if you are processing payments through your site however you are not doing that at the moment. You’re using PayPal standard which sends the user to the PayPal.com site to take care of payment, so an SSL cert isn’t required.
To move to PayPal Pro you do need an SSL cert, you also need to signup for the PayPal pro option with PayPal which is $30(ish) per month on top of fees. (FYI, we use Stripe.com for payments, much easier, works with WooCommerce as well).
Do you have a specific questions beyond these answers?
Good luck.
Ben

In reply to: Pass User Name and Password in Login URLThis functionality isn’t native to WordPress. You’d have to find or write a plugin to do it and I suggest you don’t.

In reply to: Media buttonHi Murphy,
The Media button allows you to add images to your WordPress site. You can add them directly to a page as an individual image or a gallery. There are also a number of plugins that will work for you. I suggest you take a read here to learn about Gallery plugins.
I’m not going to give you a full rundown of how to use the media button, instead I am going to point you at a few helpful sites/services.
1. wp101.com for awesome videos to help you learn WordPress
2. The SIDEKICK for WordPress plugin will guide you through how to complete tasks and what different buttons do, right inside your dashboard.Hope this helps. Good luck.

In reply to: e-mail configuration with Godaddybyhomebrewers
I often run into WordPress Mail issues when attempting to send an email from the site to anyone at the domain as the site. For example, sending a confirmation email from sidekick.pro to ben@sidekick.pro wouldn’t work.
Have you tried signing up a user with an email from a domain different from your URL? If that works then you do indeed have an SMTP or mail issue and you will need an SMTP plugin to get around it. (I use this one: http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-smtp)
If that still doesn’t work then I suggest contacting GO Daddy directly because there is a config error somewhere on the server.
Good luck.

In reply to: Can't use admin Login, OS X Mt Lioniamthehuman
When I go to your site and the /wp-admin I can see both the admin login and the empty webpage. Did you fix the issue?
At first glance it sounds like you’re the victim of either malware on your computer or on your site. In these cases I strongly recommend doing a complete security scan using the scanner on https://sucuri.net/
If it doesn’t find anything then I would do a sweep of your computer ASAP. If it does find something you can either follow their suggestions or vaporize your install and start again.
Good luck.
