  • Hi Joe,
    Try accessing your LAN website by following the example scheme:
    192.168.X.YYY (where X can be for example 0 or 2 – depending on your router and YYY would be your WordPress server computer number: e.g. 100, 101, etc.)

    If that doesn’t work, try adding the port after your address like:
    192.168.X.YYY:PORT (where port could be 80, 8080 and so on – the port where your apache is hosted)

    If it still doesn’t work, make sure your server’s firewall does not block private connections. Maybe it allows public connections but not the ones from the local network – it is possible. Go to its settings and check upon that.

    I hope it helps.

    Cheers,

    Hi Andy Cash,
    Updating WordPress can be easily done by navigating to your site’s dashboard. Navigate to your website’s address, enter the Dashboard, click the Updates link in the left sidebar and click the Update button if it’s available.

    Hi Mjezard,
    Can you please provide a screenshot?

    Hi Jasiewicz,
    I’ll be glad to assist you today.

    Do you want to switch the theme and preserve the content or start a whole WordPress from scratch?

    If you want to start from scratch, the process is as follows:

    1. Purchase a hosting account or get a free host
    2. (Optional: If you have an installed WordPress site which you want to remove, see the instructions at the end of the post)
    3. Use your host’s software installer to install a fresh WordPress site (or if you host doesn’t offer this, create a database, upload the WordPress files through your FTP, visit your site and set it up manually
    4. Once set up, go to your Dashboard and click on the “Appearance > Themes > Add New” in the menu. You can search using the search box for themes, click the desired theme and activate it
    5. Fill your site with content and you’re done!

    Here’s a great tutorial explaining everything step by step in detail.

    To completely remove your WordPress installation, you have 2 options (warning: you will lose all your site’s current files):

    • Go to your hosting panel and delete the SQL Database. Then, delete all the files in your site’s folder.
    • If you’ve installed it using a software installer in your hosting panel, simply navigate to it and click delete > it will delete everything including the database

    Please let me know if I can assist you further.

    Hi man.o.man,
    You can install the theme using the WordPress Dashboard by navigating to “Appearance > Themes > Add New >” and typing its name in the search box. You will be able to click Install and then it’s done :).

    Configuring the theme should be done using the normal WordPress panels.
    Look under Appearance > Personalize for customisation.

    Cheers,

    No problem friend, glad I could help :).

    Try formatting the document only using the text paragraphs and only after you see that the text is properly displayed, add the images and left align them using the editor.

    Ok, I have checked the site on my mobile.

    It seems you have a plugin which transforms your site into a mobile version when accessing it on mobile. My advice is, as your theme is already responsive, to disable that plugin in order to get full control over your site’s look.

    If you click the “View Full Site” on the footer while on mobile, you will see that the mobile will now access the desktop version.

    You can find your plugin in “Dashboard > Plugins

    Ok, here is the panel I’m talking about: screenshot.

    Hi Malcoreilly,
    I’d be glad to assist you today.

    I tried to reproduce the issue but the site doesn’t have a responsive CSS. Are you sure it’s responsive or it has a separate mobile version?

    Hi Luigi1971,
    I’d be glad to assist you today.

    First of all, go in the editor, select everything and under the dropdown in the top-left of your editor panel, select “format”. After that, select each paragraph and apply it’s “paragraph” option from the same menu.

    It seems your page is not properly formatted and that causes those issues. Try this and let me know if there is any progress.

    Hi Mirinho,
    Try to temporarily switch to another WordPress theme (preferably the default one). To do that, navigate to your wp-content/themes folder in your FTP, download your current theme to your machine (to have its files safe) and remove it from the FTP. That will force WordPress to switch to another theme and say that the current theme doesn’t exist. Try this and see if you can then access the admin area. If you still can’t access it, put the theme back through FTP because it means it’s not theme-related.

    Let me know if it worked.

    I see,
    So you are trying to create that fade effect on a webpage.

    As far as I know, there are two ways of doing it:
    1. Loading content dynamically with AJAX by actually linking those menu items to the AJAX events (files);

    2. Loading everything on your page but switching between content using jQuery. This is the page explaining how it works: jQuery Tabs. Based on that, you can create that effect. If you prefer, you can use this jquery plugin to achieve the result easier: EasyTabs.

    Hi MetMotors,
    I’d be glad to assist you today.

    In order to change the height of the element only on the homepage, use this ID in front of your CSS lines: #homepage

    For example, if you are targeting the #featured div, the CSS would be like:
    #homepage #featured{ ... }

    Hi Westmc45,
    I’d be glad to assist you today.

    What do you exactly mean by “drop down pictures with links”? Are you trying to create a dropdown menu which opens when you hover a parrent link?

    Cheers,
