Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Illegal String OffsetLooks like a problem with the theme. You should probably ask about this in the theme’s forum. It looks like it hasn’t been updated for a long time though, so if you can’t get any help with it, maybe it’s time to browse for a new theme. Themes need to keep up with changes that come with WP updates and when they don’t, sometimes they break or become security risks.
One thing you could try is to disable your plugins to see if one of them is interfering with the theme.

In reply to: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare stats_activate()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 plugin on the server.
In your WP installation there, find
wp-content/pluginsand rename thestatsplugin folder tostats-hold. Hopefully that should allow you to get back into WP admin. Then you can try re-installing or updating it again.If this isn’t something you’re comfortable doing yourself, your web-host support would probably do this for you, or at least help you set up FTP access. Most of them also have help docs to walk you through how to use both FTP (or SFTP) and their FIle Manager.

In reply to: Syntax error after plugin updateIf 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 plugin on the server. (File Manager is easiest if you don’t have ftp set up.)
In your WP installation there, find
wp-content/pluginsand delete only the pinterest-widgets plugin folder. Hopefully that should allow you to get back into WP admin. You can try re-installing the plugin if you like, since you now know how to get rid of it if it still doesn’t work.If this isn’t something you’re comfortable doing yourself, your web host support would probably do this for you, or at least help you set up FTP access.

In reply to: Mailchimp double opt inSupport for your plugin is here, but you should find a setting for that on the plugin’s ‘Checkbox Settings’ page.

In reply to: Cannot login after installing (login page refreshes)I am hosting my site on my university’s private network
You might try asking your university’s IT people about this if you haven’t yet done so since, as is mentioned in the codex page that you linked to, certain firewall settings may prevent being able to log in to WP.

In reply to: Insert/Edit Link not workingTry disabling your plugins to see if something is interfering with this. If it clears up, you can re-activate them one at a time to see when it breaks again. If you find a problematic plugin, see if there is an update for it or ask the plugin developers about it.

In reply to: wordpress post doesnt show upYes, try disabling your plugins to see if you can find a culprit. There is a sharing module in your Jetpack plugin; but also, at least in the demo for your theme, there’s a ‘Pin It’ button that might be built into the theme. If disabling plugins doesn’t fix it, I would try the support forum for the theme. (As it’s a commercial theme, we’re unable to provide support for it here.)
When using the Net panel of the Web Developer tools in Firefox, there were 3 or 4 ‘No Content’ items, one of which was for Pinterest, and a couple others for an amazon-adsystem url. My browser hangs on the ‘waiting for Pinterest’ message.

In reply to: Media button & text option no longer workingYou’re welcome! I hope they can get you fixed up.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Media button & text option no longer workingMake sure you’re using the latest version (2.0.5) of the plugin, as it seems they had some issues and recently updated it. If you’re already using the latest version, ask about this on the plugin’s support forum. Good luck!

In reply to: Create a custom capabilityI still think a plugin is the way to go. For example, the Members plugin will give you the ability to set and unset each user-capability individually when you create a new role. (One of the presets may even work for you.) You can allow a role to:
- edit_published_posts, but not edit_others_posts
- edit_published_pages, but not edit_others_pages
- delete_published_posts, but not delete_others_posts
- delete_published_pages, but not delete_others_pages
- disallow publish_posts and publish_pages
I’m sure there must be other plugins that give you similar control, since that’s their job. This one hasn’t been updated for a while but it’s never given me any problems, plus I believe you can get premium (paid) support if needed.
BTW, it’s never a good idea to edit core files (because your changes will be lost with an update) but you certainly can write your own plugin.
