In reply to: Gravatar Problem / Broke my wordpress?If you have a backup of that functions file, you’re going to need to replace the edited one on your hosting account server with the backup copy (or a fresh, unedited one if no backup is available). You can use an FTP client (like FileZilla), or your web-host’s cPanel or file manager to do this. File manager is easiest if this is new to you.
You’ll find the functions.php file in
wp-content/themes/'your-active-theme'.Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Plugin directory at server modifies automaticallyAuto-updates don’t happen at regular intervals, but instead ASAP when critical issues get patched. I really don’t know the details of how (or if) directories might be ‘touched’ by an update, or even by the normal functioning of a plugin for that matter. This page will give some more insight into what the updates involve though.
Aside from the possibility of auto-updates leaving the traces you’re concerned about (though it sounds like nothing has actually been changed), I’d also make sure to have a good security plugin of your choice on your side if you don’t already have one running.

In reply to: Plugin directory at server modifies automaticallyPerhaps there were no modifications deemed necessary when the check occurred. Auto-updates are mainly done for core WP files. Plugins and themes will only get them in rare, special cases where critical vulnerabilities are discovered. (At least that’s how I understand it.)

In reply to: Plugin directory at server modifies automaticallyAutomatic updates are enabled by default for minor updates (as in 4.3.x), as they often tend to be security related fixes.

In reply to: Finding my site IDI’m not familiar with that plugin, but I would think that the site ID comes from your clicksor account. In the plugin options in WP admin, click the help link next to the site-ID entry field.

In reply to: Excerpt not working properlyYou should ask about this in the support forum for the slider plugin that you’re using. I assume you’re talking about the ‘latest update’ to the plugin, since you list your WP version as 4.1. Good luck!

In reply to: Website not updating unless manually refreshedThere are a couple different levels of caching to be aware of. Your browser cache of course is the client-side piece of it. You can clear this manually or sometimes with a page refresh. Then there are cached pages generated by any caching plugin you may have installed. Also your web host may themselves be serving cached pages to save on their server load, or they (or even you) may be using a CDN to deliver content. Any one of these can give you the issues you’re having. You need to check these possibilities so you know what you can do about it.

In reply to: Cannot customize Contango Theme or change themesTry asking about this on the support forum for the theme, where the theme authors and community can assist you.

In reply to: Published status is not showingIf you’re sure you have admin capabilities, you’ve disabled all plugins and tried a default theme (at the same time), it’s possible there’s some connection issue or database issue at work.
I believe that if WP can’t make the connection, it will only offer draft or pending options. Likewise if it can’t write to the db for some reason. Log in to your hosting account and database and check (and repair if needed) the tables. While you’re there in your account, check for error logs. If this is all new to you, it might be easiest to just contact your web host and ask them to see what they can find regarding connection issues and your database tables. The database is the heart of your site, so play it safe. (Keep backups!)
There are other possible causes, but I would start with that. Wish I could give you an easy answer.

In reply to: Not sufficient permissions to access pageIf you didn’t delete that admin user, make sure you are logged out from both accounts. Clear your browser cookies and cache and try again. Or try a different browser which has no cached info.
