Other pages (and the home page) can be targeted with the class .page. If there isn’t a different template selected for the home versus other pages, then perhaps you just need to target the type of page that isn’t matching up with the home page. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Issues Installing Plugins…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-installing-plugins/) * [egf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/egf/) * (@egf) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-installing-plugins/#post-9690395) * So I’m guessing you’re seeing this: * site1name/wp-content/plugins and site2name/wp-content/plugins * If so, the permissions could be different between the two folders thus one site working and one not. * Are you able to view these folders in a terminal screen and check the permissions? If you can get to the folder in a terminal type “ls -la” to show the contents of the folder along with the permissions. * ([https://support.rackspace.com/how-to/checking-linux-file-permissions-with-ls/](https://support.rackspace.com/how-to/checking-linux-file-permissions-with-ls/)) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [WordPress site won`t scroll in chrome](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-site-wont-scroll-in-chrome/) * [egf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/egf/) * (@egf) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-site-wont-scroll-in-chrome/#post-9685519) * As above, I would try and reinstall it. If it is still throwing errors your best bet is to report those errors to the plugin developer. If you were to make changes to the plugin yourself they would get overwritten on the next plugin update and you’d lose all your changes. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Issues Installing Plugins…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-installing-plugins/) * [egf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/egf/) * (@egf) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-installing-plugins/#post-9685509) * Plugins should be located at /wp-content/plugins * If you have one site that is working properly and one that is not, I would guess that the permissions are incorrect on the site that is not working properly. Generally if you have more than one site it will be multiple installs of wordpress and thusly multiple plugin folders. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Need help to log in](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-to-log-in/) * [egf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/egf/) * (@egf) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-to-log-in/#post-9682875) * Localhost is your desktop. This would mean you have wordpress set up locally on your computer rather than on an external server (as most websites you visit are). If you cannot connect my guess is that your local server is not running. You will need to run WAMP/MAMP or something like that before you can access a localhost version of your site. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Issues Installing Plugins…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-installing-plugins/) * [egf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/egf/) * (@egf) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-installing-plugins/#post-9682301) * This is usually a permissions issue. The plugin folder probably doesn’t have the appropriate permissions to install new plugins via the dashboard. If you are unable to make permission changes yourself, have your host update your folders to the following: * All directories should be 755 or 750. All files should be 644 or 640. Exception: wp-config.php should be 440 or 400 to prevent other users on the server from reading it. No directories should ever be given 777, even upload directories. Since the php process is running as the owner of the files, it gets the owners permissions and can write to even a 755 directory. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [WordPress site won`t scroll in chrome](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-site-wont-scroll-in-chrome/) * [egf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/egf/) * (@egf) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-site-wont-scroll-in-chrome/#post-9682292) * This will having something to do with some of your javascript. Just a quick look while disabling all JS on the site allows the site to scroll in Chrome. You’ll want to go through and see which JS is causing the issue. It appears there are several js errors, fixing them up should solve your issue. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Update WordPress Fail](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-wordpress-fail/) * [egf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/egf/) * (@egf) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-wordpress-fail/#post-9682267) * Here is a similar issue with a potential solution: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/checksum-errors-while-trying-to-update-wp-4-8-2-and-all-plugins-themes/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/checksum-errors-while-trying-to-update-wp-4-8-2-and-all-plugins-themes/) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to Delete WordPress Blog Site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-delete-wordpress-blog-site/) * [egf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/egf/) * (@egf) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-delete-wordpress-blog-site/#post-9682262) * I think you might have to contact your host’s support to work out why you are not seeing what you expect to see. You may not be logging in as an admin and thus not be able to delete pages. * In general you should be able delete the blog page by navigating to the Dashboard > Pages > hover over Blog and a Trash link should show up. * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [Make slider/banner full width](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-slider-banner-full-width/) * [egf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/egf/) * (@egf) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-slider-banner-full-width/#post-9648333) * The url parameter ?resize is probably from the WordPress media settings. If you go to Settings > Media, check what the largest image is set at (I’m guessing it’s 1600). You can change that size to whatever you want the max image size to be. Then you’ll want to install a plugin called Regenerate Thumbnails and run that after you make the change for the image sizes. * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [Make slider/banner full width](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-slider-banner-full-width/) * [egf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/egf/) * (@egf) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-slider-banner-full-width/#post-9647944) * For lack of anything else to do to fix this. Just add a css line that negates the max-width. Something like .homebuilder {max-width: 100%;} Maybe need an ! important in there to make sure it works depending on when/where the original CSS is getting set. * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [How I get few words of a Post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-i-get-few-words-of-a-post/) * [egf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/egf/) * (@egf) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-i-get-few-words-of-a-post/#post-9645571) * Take a peek here: * [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_excerpt](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_excerpt) [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/the_excerpt/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/the_excerpt/) * You should be able to get an auto generated excerpt. * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [Make slider/banner full width](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-slider-banner-full-width/) * [egf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/egf/) * (@egf) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-slider-banner-full-width/#post-9644321) * Looks like if you remove the max-width on this div
. And set the width of .flex-active-slide img to 100% your image will span the entire browser. * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [Make slider/banner full width](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-slider-banner-full-width/) * [egf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/egf/) * (@egf) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-slider-banner-full-width/#post-9641439) * THere’s an explicit width on your slider image of 1200px. And a max-width of 1200px on the container. If you can update these your slider will be full width. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Can’t log in](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-log-in-220/) * [egf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/egf/) * (@egf) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-log-in-220/#post-9641403) * After you attempt to login, can you get to [http://deercreek.org/wp-admin/index.php](http://deercreek.org/wp-admin/index.php) directly (put that url in the browser)? * Have you tried the “forgot my password” link?
