Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Remove links menu from adminHave a look at this page, where it says:
If you upgraded from a version prior to 3.5, you may still have the link manager in the sidebar, even if it is not needed. To remove this, edit the “Link Manager Enabled” field from 1 (on) to 0 (off) in /wp-admin/options.php or through any database manager.

In reply to: No Save Draft option in 4.3.1I don’t suppose there’s any way to “unpublish” something?
In the post’s Publish meta-box, Status has an ‘edit’ link revealing a dropdown where you can select ‘draft’.

In reply to: Why Automatic Updates for Some Sites but Not Others?Automatic background updates are enabled by default since WP 3.7. You can learn about and adjust this with the info provided on this page:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Configuring_Automatic_Background_UpdatesUpdates may be problematic if WP cannot write to certain files or directories (permissions issues), is running as the wrong user (server issue), and/or is unable to fallback to using ftp (if ftp credentials have not been provided).
Search the support forums for ‘asking for ftp credentials’ to see how others have solved that issue.

In reply to: Lost with my wordpress siteIf the theme can display a page (and I don’t see why it shouldn’t), you can set up your landing page just by creating a page (not post) in WP, and setting your home page to display that static page at
Settings > Reading.Regarding the loss of styles, check with the theme developers via their support forum to see about keeping the page styles consistent. Sometimes they have a simple way to select this, sometimes not.

In reply to: WordPress and DatabaseHead over to wordpress.com and investigate; and if it suits your needs, sign up for a free site. WP includes its own database which you will mainly interact with in the WP admin pages rather than directly via phpMyAdmin.
BTW, this forum is for self-hosted (not free) WP installations. You can read about the differences here:

In reply to: Warning: mysql_real_escape_string(): No such file or directoryIf this is the Invite Friends plugin, I would get rid of it and find a replacement. This hasn’t been updated in 7 years, and is compatible up to WP 2.6. Surely you can find something suitable here:

In reply to: Website links are pointing to the wrong placeIf this just started out of the blue, I’d contact GoDaddy and have them take a look, especially at your DNS records.
