Yes, I had some problems with updating the plugins, because some were quite old and are not supported any more. So, unfortunately, I had to deactivate them… * My website won’t be the same as it was in the last 10 years again… 🙁 * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to update old WordPress?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-update-old-wordpress/) * Thread Starter [Chip](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chip_88/) * (@chip_88) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-update-old-wordpress/#post-16248872) * Just an update to whom it may be interesting: Our site is fianlly back to life! The theme works like a charm. * I renamed all the folders in wp-content – except themes and languages. * After updating all the files manually, I finally, finally, finally was asked to update the database – and voilà: I could enter the dashboard again. * Now I’m going to check all the plugins etc. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to update old WordPress?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-update-old-wordpress/) * Thread Starter [Chip](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chip_88/) * (@chip_88) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-update-old-wordpress/#post-16248534) * [@benniledl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benniledl/) You’re totally right& I’m totally with you – in all points! This is exactly what happened to us: Our website was working pritty well – without any issues at all. So there was no need to update anything. * Yes, I did contact the webhost (it’s actually a wellknown hoster here in Germany; host + and the name of the old continent: hosteur**e) & apparently I’m not the only one. They say there’s no way to activate PHP7.4 by any chance. * Anyway, I did realize that in my wp-content there are some more directories than just plugins and themes. All the other folders there were installed by plugins– so I know what to try. I will rename all of them and the plugins and themes first& then try to load the site. If this doesn’t work out, I’ll update my old WordPress version manually to the current one 6.1.1 – and will check then again. - This reply was modified 3 years, 5 months ago by [Chip](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chip_88/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[AccessPress Social Share] How do I centre the buttons](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-centre-the-buttons/) * [Chip](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chip_88/) * (@chip_88) * [9 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-centre-the-buttons/#post-8391333) * Hi there: On www-jz-oz.de, I tried also to center my icons in the center of the page (at the bottom) by adding your code to frontend.css.

Actually, the labels should also in the widget start with a capital letter like in the circulars on regular posts / pages: **T**age / **S**tunden/** M**inuten / **S**ekunden. * Thank you in advance for your help & about a timely response! Chipy * P.D.: To change the English labels to the German ones I edited the file **circular. php** in _~/wp-content/plugins/codeboxrflexiblecountdown/public/includes/_: * ```
