In reply to: Locked Out of SiteAdding the css above would not have been a problem. Changing a WP core file (or theme file, in this case) would. That file needs to be restored to its original state.
If you have a backup of that 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.

In reply to: Can't create directory wp-content/uploads/ ?Your error is telling you that the server can’t write to the Uploads directory. You said you changed permissions for
wp-contentbut did you try changinguploadsto 755 also?they reply that the upload/2015/04 was not in the wp-content
No the date-folder is not there yet. Your uploads will be automatically stored in folders created for them by WP as they are needed. But WP must be able to write to
uploads.Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Login TroubleGlad you identified the troublemaker. Maybe there’s an update for the plugin? Or maybe ask about it in the plugin’s support forum.

In reply to: Turning Off Auto-UpdateYour key to bliss:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Disable_WordPress_Auto_UpdatesI know you’re aggravated and I would be too, but I’d rather my site choke like that than to have to clean up a hacked site. The recent update was pushed through to close a newly-discovered hole that could allow bad things to be done to a site via the comments system. Hope you’re able to get everything sorted right again very soon!

In reply to: Site not showing appearance updates when not logged inAre you using a caching plugin that needs to be cleared? If not, maybe your web host is caching pages for you. (Make sure your browser cache gets cleared as well.)

In reply to: Reinstall wp by FTP but saving the data/theme/plugin that are there?To re-install WP manually, download a fresh copy of your version from here: https://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/
Using FTP, delete all WP files except:do not touch wp-config.php (this has your database info)
do not touch the wp-content directory (this contains your themes, plugins, uploads)Then unpack and upload the new files and directories to their original locations.

In reply to: Blog Dashboard Display Page ProblemFirst off, all of your posts and pages are stored in the database, so you won’t see them amongst the WP files and folders. Also, your theme is called “News” and is fairly old so who knows if it’s been kept up; it doesn’t seem to have been. The author’s site is here.
I would go onto the server and see if there are plugins, and if so, disable them. Then switch to a WP default theme if one is present in the themes directory. Get back to a bare-bones WP installation.
Below are instructions for disabling your plugins and active theme 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/pluginsand rename that plugin folder to something likeplugins-hold. That will disable all plugins and maybe allow you to get back a functional WP admin. If so, rename the folder back to the original. Then you can start re-activating plugins until you find the problem one(s).If that doesn’t do it, likewise rename your active theme’s folder found in
wp-content/themes/so that WP will use a default WP theme temporarily. That way you can rule out whether the theme is at fault or not. What you learn will help to determine where to go from there.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Website super wide after upgrade to WordPress 4.2You may want to start with the support people for your commercial theme. They know your theme better than anyone. Good luck!

In reply to: Adding extra line on TestimonialThat’s great! More of a guess than an answer, but I’d hoped you’d recognize some part of it. Please mark this as resolved if you would.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Adding extra line on TestimonialIt looks like that text is the ‘alt’ text auto-replacing an image that isn’t being found in your theme. For the other, older testimonials you may have specified this particular image from your uploads folder:
http://informationdesignanddelivery.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/shim.gif. Without explicitly citing that source, it’s trying to fall back to the one above that can’t be found.That’s just my take on it, though I don’t know how your page/theme is set up.

In reply to: Login TroubleI would recommend disabling WP-Members as well, since it surely has a hand in creating new members. Get the add-user function working in WP first so you know where the source of the problem is.
If you can add a user without plugins activated, then try again with the Members plugin, being sure to clear browser cookies and cache first.
If you can’t add users without plugins, something else is going on.
