 * I got this fixed. Looks like, while trying various fixes, I had changed the local
   directory in my MAMP settings to be one directory too deep.
 * Problem solved.

 * What about the .htaccess file? Should I do something with it?
 * Thanks.

 * [@imarkdesigns](https://wordpress.org/support/users/imarkdesigns/)—Thank you 
   for the quick reply. Unfortunately, I still have the problem.
 * I have no idea which plugin might be the problem. So I went into tsg-wp > wp-
   content > plugins and renamed it (plugins-disable). Should that disable all my
   plugins?
 * Also, I had already checked the two url’s as you suggest and they are correct:
   [http://localhost:8888/tsg-wp](http://localhost:8888/tsg-wp).
 * So, I could use another tip, please. Thank you!

 * [@imarkdesigns](https://wordpress.org/support/users/imarkdesigns/)—Thank you 
   for the reply!
 * Yes, I’m working on this on my Mac, as that is the only place it exists.
 * Since I can’t get into my wp-admin, I can’t know how to disable any plugins.
 * I tried [http://localhost:8888/tsg-wp/wp-admin](http://localhost:8888/tsg-wp/wp-admin)
   without the trailing slash, but both Firefox and Chrome added the slash back 
   on after delivering the “redirect” message I talked about above.
 * So, those ideas were nice, but didn’t solve the problem.
 * Any other ideas (anyone)?
 * Thank you!

 * Lyle,
    Thank you, though I have already managed to change the url’s by editing
   the wp-config.php file. (I checked the table you mentioned and they’re back to
   what they were originally.)
 * Now, when I go to my wp-admin page, I get this message in Firefox:
    “The page
   isn’t redirecting properly. Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting
   the request for this address in a way that will never complete. This problem 
   can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.”
 * In Opera I get:
    “This page isn’t working localhost redirected you too many times.”
 * Anyone have a tip for what to do now? Thank you!
 * Doug

 * Yes, I had the global settings set to hover. But I just turned it off. Better
   to not have any underlining of links than have my title showing an underline 
   on hover.
 * But it would be nice if I could have it the way I want!
 * Thank you.

 * Hi Melissa,
 * No, I haven’t written any CSS at all anywhere for this site.
 * I just tried deactivating all my plugins and toggling the setting for Title >
   Underline Link to Never and saving settings each time. Still no luck.
 * I am up to date on WP with version 4.1.1. Hmmm…strange that it works on your 
   end but not for me.
 * Check out my site at: dougcoedesign.com (it’s not all done yet, btw). Thanks.

 * Christine—I’m not surprised the theme is complex. It’s highly flexible. Also,
   quite popular I believe.
 * I guess I’ll go to the developer for some help, though I think he might send 
   me back here!

 * [http://dougcoe.com/blog/](http://dougcoe.com/blog/)
 * My understanding was that the code snippet would work regardless of the theme.
   But I’m not a pro blog creator, just trying to tweak my own blog.

 * Thanks for the link.
 * I did a search on the forum on the website of the theme’s creator. Turns out 
   they have an option to edit the post title that shows up farther down the post
   edit page (below the “fold”—I had to scroll down to see it).
 * Problem solved.

 * esmi,
 * Thanks for the reply. I _am_ doing some customizing (putting my website header
   with my nav bar onto the theme), but as you say there are no guarantees. So I
   may as well go for it. If I do have to change themes someday I’ll just deal with
   putting my custom header on the new one.
 * Doug
