In reply to: Reply function missing on blog page – 2012My guess would be that this is hiding your titles:
.entry-header { display: none; }Disable the plugin mentioned in the message, and then see if there’s an updated version of it. If not, post your question in the support forum for whatever plugin you’re using. Good luck!

In reply to: Locked out of my websiteI’m glad you seem to have gotten past your obstacles and can move on. 🙂
Brute force attacks happen quite frequently, but with the right configuration and maybe some plugin help, they’ll have a hard time getting anywhere. When you have some time and want to get a better grip on site security, have a look at this:

Anyway, you’re welcome!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How do I make page content transparent?Sure. The first class above (.page) is pretty generic. You need to decide which pages you want to have this apply to, and then find and use their unique classes.
For example, your home page
<body>element has a unique class of.page-id-108. So let’s say you have two particular pages you want to apply this style to. You could add: (careful, this made-up example is just to illustrate).page-id-108 .entry article, .page-id-123 .entry article { background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7) none repeat scroll 0 0; }You can use the developer tools for the browser you’re using to find these classes, or use the View Source menu item in the same way. Open the page you want to affect, view source, find the
<body>tag and look at the element’s classes. A class like the above that has an ID number is ideal. I hope that helps, but let me know if you need more.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: No Backend anymore.That’s great! Please mark this thread as resolved if you don’t mind. And, you’re welcome!

In reply to: No Backend anymore.If you can’t access your admin pages, you’ll need to use an FTP client (like FileZilla), or your host’s cpanel (or File Manager) and navigate to the files on the server.
In your WP installation there, find
wp-content/themesand rename the new theme’s folder to something like-hold, or delete it altogether. That will disable the theme and hopefully allow you to get back into WP admin. WP will use a default WP theme in its place (probably Twentyfifteen).Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Reply function missing on blog page – 2012Make sure you’re using the
Settings > Readingpage properly when you designate which page does what. Pay particular attention to how you name the page that shows your latest posts, as is mentioned there in the description. You must select different pages for both front page and posts page if you have a static front page.

In reply to: Can't figure out where menu is coming fromGlad you got that part sorted, at least. That menu seems to be flagged ‘shailan dropdown menu widget’, so I would be looking for that widget (whatever it is) for making adjustments. Good luck!

In reply to: logging in fails“3 attempts remaining” means there’s some plugin or code in place to prevent someone trying to guess or hack their way in. After that she won’t be able to try again until the set time expires. Might be a few minutes, could be longer.
She can try the ‘lost password’ link on the login page to try to reset her password. That will only work if the ‘developers’ gave her the right login information in the first place. Doesn’t seem like it if she has never been able to login (which you didn’t mention if that’s the case or not).
If that doesn’t work, look at this page for several ways of resetting the password. You only need one of them to work, so look them over.
If she can access WP on her hosting account server, she can look in
wp-contents/pluginsfor a security plugin (for example, Wordfence). If there is one, it can be temporarily disabled by renaming the security plugin’s folder (for example: to ‘wordfence-hold’). That way she won’t get locked out before she gets this figured out.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Can't figure out where menu is coming fromI don’t see it. Is there a specific page you’re looking at?

In reply to: Reply function missing on blog page – 2012Do you have the same issue if you set your home page to display recent posts in
Settings > Reading Settings? The default 2012 demo has titles for each entry; clicking titles displays the full post and comments.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: logging in failsI think it means they don’t know how to fix it. 😉
What happens when she tries? Can she get toherdomain.com/wp-login.php? What happens when she inputs her login credentials?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Reply function missing on blog page – 2012I’m afraid I’m not very familiar with 2012, but I use 2013 for one of my sites and, on the recent posts page, each post title is a link to the full post, and there’s a ‘post a comment’ link under each post excerpt.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Reply function missing on blog page – 2012If you mean that there is no comment box on a page that shows recent posts (‘blog’), I believe that is normal. A page listing many recent posts and all of their comments doesn’t usually make for a good reading experience, especially on mobile (in my opinion). You could ask about this in the 2012 forum just in case.
