In reply to: Internal 500 ErrorYou’ll need to temporarily switch to another theme (like Twenty Fifteen) until you get it sorted.
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 likemytheme-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: Sharing Admin Credentials for Plugin Support?!?!Plugin authors should not need admin access to help you diagnose a problem. This particular author may have only the best intentions, and perhaps it’s in fact a complex issue easier solved with such access, but giving access to someone you don’t know and trust is never recommended.
Are there other plugins in the repository that can accomplish the same or similar things that you need it for? Are you sure that this plugin is causing your site’s troubles?

It seems you have disabled them. WP is still going to do its job of telling you how far behind you’re getting though. I suppose you could ‘inspect element’ for the message and craft a css rule to hide it.
element-selector {display: none;}Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Update failed and worseYour site is working fine for me. Are you still having a problem?

In reply to: Fatal errors.You can try disabling your plugins (especially ones that aren’t really that necessary) to try and find a troublemaker that’s using too much memory. But if you feel you need them all, have a look at these pages for information about increasing your php memory limit:

In reply to: How to take of comments box on pagesIn your site admin page, go to
Settings > Discussionand uncheck “Allow people to post comments on new articles”. This will disable comments only on future posts.You will then need to disable comments individually for each previously-published post that currently shows a comment section. Go to
Posts > All Postsand using the ‘quick edit’ link, disable commenting for each post that has it enabled.If this does not hide the comment boxes for you, then you’ll need to ask your theme developer about it.

In reply to: Locked Out of SiteThere may still be some error in the page that you repaired. Did it get edited, or was it replaced with a fresh copy? I recommend the latter, just to be sure. What file was it? If it was a theme file, you can try temporarily switching to a default WP theme (like Twenty Fifteen) to see if it clears up. If it does, you can re-install the problem theme (if it hasn’t been customized).
Disabling the Hierarchical Pages plugin may also get rid of those warnings for the time being, but will change things in your site depending on how much the plugin is doing for its organization.

In reply to: How to customise text in sidebar widget?Text widgets will accept html, so you can use whatever tags are needed to get your desired result. For example, enclose select words to make them bold and follow with a line break:
<strong>Some Bold Text</strong><br>

In reply to: constant updates – which is the most recentAuto-updates only occur for minor updates (security and bug fixes usually). It will update, for example, 4.1.2 to 4.1.3, but not 4.1 to 4.2. You can have a say about your setup by reading here.
For your 500 error, I recommend starting a new thread specifically for that issue so you get the right focus on it.
