Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: WordPress, IIS, Plugin restrictionsMost plugins will probably work fine, but any that leverage Apache modules (such as mod_rewrite) may have issues. Is the web server running the minimum PHP version for WordPress?

In reply to: Moving wp site to a new locationThe short answer is: you can copy everything to the “live” directory and then run a search and replace script on the database to update all of the links. A much more detailed answer can be found here:

In reply to: How to insert an image in the backgroundAre you referring to the La Madre Tonantsin” image at the top of the first page? It looks like there’s an image on the top of the page in your second link, or at least the code for an image, but the image isn’t on the server. This is the image it’s trying to load:

In reply to: How to speed up development time of wordpress sites?I’ll second the framework suggestion. We started using Foundation (http://foundation.zurb.com/) at my office, and cut custom theme development time in half. You can either start from scratch with the framework, which already has a responsive grid and lots of styling, or use one of the starter themes listed on this page:

Another framework that we’ve used successfully is Bootstrap:
It also really helps to use a CSS pre-processor such as LESS or Sass, each of which is used in one of the above frameworks.

In reply to: Can I change my website to WordPress?What you have is certainly doable in WordPress. If you want it to look exactly like what you have now, that will require a custom theme, but if you’re open to using an existing theme that can save you a lot of time and money. You can find free themes here:
And not-so-free (but still GPL) themes here:

In reply to: Long Permalink on BackendYou can edit the slug. Go here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_Posts#Descriptions_of_Post_Fields
And then scroll down to the “Permalink” heading. Basically just click on the slug in the post or page edit screen, and enter a shorter version. If what you want is already being used, WordPress will automatically add a number to the end of the slug so you won’t end up with a duplicate.

http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language
Download the ZIP for the WordPress distribution in the languages you want, and you should find the .mo and .po files in the wp-content/languages folders.

In reply to: Do i add woocommerce first then a theme or ??Does the theme come with a cart, or does it work with WooCommerce? If it comes with a cart, you might not be able to also use WooCommerce. If it doesn’t come with a cart, then it doesn’t really matter which you install first.

In reply to: [BuddyPress Group Email Subscription] Daily Digest Email MissentWe just received a report of this very issue on a site using version 3.3.1 of this plugin. Should we just revert back to an older version of the plugin, or has this issue been addressed in 3.3.3? I’ll be happy to provide more info and forward the digest e-mails if needed to help figure out what’s going wrong.
