In reply to: Custom Welcome Widget in all themesIf you want this to be theme-independent, then turning it into a plugin is the way to go.

In reply to: Fatal Errors on theme filesThe contents of a theme folder are, for example: functions, css styles, templates for different types of page layouts (like single posts, archives, search, etc,), and many are just parts of a page (like footer, header, sidebar, etc). Most of those don’t contain everything a page needs to display properly, so they can’t. Functions throw errors if everything doesn’t come in just the right order. WordPress knows how to put it all together, so you can’t just navigate to a file with a web browser out of order and expect it to work.
As I mentioned above, if you want to see what’s in those files and folders, use your operating system’s directory browser, a text editor, or WP admin’s edit panel. And again, if you make changes, only do it on a child theme (as above). Does that help?

In reply to: Permissions Best Practices – Shared HostingThis link to the Codex page should get you started. There’s a section on shared hosting.

In reply to: Website No Longer Available after Plug-Ins UpdateYou’ll need to check with your web host about the account suspension. Sorry about that. When you clear that up, let us know what you need.

In reply to: Unexpected error, everything seems normal, still problem occurs.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 jarida theme’s folder to something likejarida-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).Then check to see if there’s an update for the theme, or check the support channel for the theme.

In reply to: Fatal Errors on theme filesI have a website that runs steady. There is no problem but on theme files.
If it runs properly, what makes you say there is a problem with the theme files?
when go to ‘site.com/wp-content/themes/theme1’ (index.php) or another theme files it gives an error
I’m not sure why you’re trying to navigate to theme files as if they were web pages. Or maybe you didn’t explain what you’re doing that gives these errors.
index.php at your site’s WP root should bring you to your site. If you’re trying to modify your theme files, you should do that with a text editor or in your admin edit panels (and preferably only in child themes). Changes you make to default or downloaded themes will be lost when they receive updates. Maybe I’m missing something?

In reply to: can MailChimp for WordPress pro add multiple form in a list?You need to ask the developers of the plugin about that. You can first try asking here: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mailchimp-for-wp#postform
Otherwise, find the site for the pro version and ask there.

In reply to: Add New Post Field notI would try disabling all plugins, clearing caches, and testing it out again. If it clears up, start re-activating them one at a time until it breaks again. If it doesn’t clear up, switch to a default WP theme and test again.

In reply to: WP Self-Hosted vs .ORGWhen you switch from .com to a self-hosted site, you’re making some trade-offs. Not everything works the same way between the two, but you have tons of options available to you when you self-host that you don’t have at .com.
Have a look at this page to get started. Then if you have specific questions about migrating certain things, try asking about it at the .com support forums. Some of us here don’t use certain .com features and so aren’t familiar with the details. Good luck!
