In reply to: Remove page title from displaying on pageCan you link me to a specific page and tell me which text disappears and shouldn’t? I don’t see it on an archive page, but I do see the title you want to lose on your ‘about’ page, which says the above code isn’t present at the moment.
I think this may work, but I need to test it where you say there’s a problem:
.page .type-page .entry-title { display: none; }Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: is WordPress even up and running?What happens when you try to log in? I get redirected to your home page when I try to visit the login page. You may want to contact your host, tell them what’s up, and have them check your htaccess file and your error logs for starters. They may see something obvious.
Otherwise, it may be worth disabling your theme and plugins to make sure one of them is not the problem. Below are instructions for doing that as a basic troubleshooting step.
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 active theme’s folder to something liketravelify-hold. 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).If that doesn’t do it, find
wp-content/pluginsand rename that plugin folder to something likeplugins-hold. That will disable all plugins. If you can then get back into WP admin, rename the folder back to the original. Then you can start re-activating plugins until you find the problem one(s).Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Updating my email addressThat is strange. It’s normally next after ‘site address’ under general settings. Are you sure you’re logged in as admin and not another user (with a different assigned role)? Often admins will set up a secondary account for their general use as an added security measure.

In reply to: Update to 4.3If your web host insists on using an unsupported server environment, you will continue to have this problem with all future updates (core, plugin, theme) until either they fix it or you change hosts to a better one.
Having said that, I’m not aware of any problem with performing a manual upgrade to 4.3.1. (It won’t solve the error problem.) You will find detailed instructions here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Updateand very detailed instructions here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress_Extended#Detailed_InstructionsPlease make sure you have backups of both your database and all of your WP files and directories downloaded to your computer before you begin. That way you can always get back to where you were if the need arises. Good luck!

In reply to: Need help since upgrading to 4.3.1Hi Bob. If Elegant Fusion is a commercial theme as I think it probably is (I don’t see it in the WP repository), you should check with its developers in whatever support channel they have available to you. They will know more about their product than we do here. Good luck!

In reply to: Remove page title from displaying on pageYou’re welcome! This will affect any element that has those two classes (page, entry-title). Go ahead and mark this as resolved if you would, but if you find something affected that shouldn’t be, post back and we’ll see if we can make it more specific in its targeting. I don’t think you’ll need to though.

In reply to: is WordPress even up and running?A link to your site might help. Is the public-facing part of your site displaying normally?

In reply to: Remove page title from displaying on pageYou can try adding something like this to your custom css:
.page .entry-title { display: none; }Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Updating my email addressIf you’re talking about the address used for WP admin purposes, it’s in
Settings > General. There is also a per-user setting inUsers > Your Profile. If you mean for these forums, log in and click ‘view your profile’ under the download WP button up top. On the resulting page, you’ll see an ‘edit’ link on the upper right.Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionSo glad you got this worked out!
@anniemcmj – Try checking with your host again regarding database login credentials. If nothing is wrong there, and there is no server problem or db problem on their end, please start a new thread so someone can try and help you. Your problem may or may not be the same after all, even though the error message is the same.

In reply to: error:0D0890A1 on Yahoo hostYes, others have reported that Yahoo is running an outdated version of OpenSSL (with known security problems). When a web host continues to decline to keep up with security issues, it may be time to reassess. Hopefully they’ll take action soon, for their customers’ sake.

In reply to: Dashboard bug in 4.3….?Thanks for the news, Samuel!
You can use
yourdomain.com/readme.htmlto see what version you’re running.If you’re using a cache plugin (like W3 Total Cache, or WP Super Cache for example), make sure you clear the cache and reload the page to see your changes. Also you may need to clear your browser cache for the same reason. It’s best to clear and disable such plugins when you’re making changes to your site so this problem doesn’t catch you off guard.
