In reply to: [WP Activity Log] Can’t deactivate or deleteA plugin I’m using to migrate between a localhost dev site and a live site has a size limit on imports and I need to delete whatever is unnecessary. I may reinstall this plugin later, but for now it is unnecessary.
When I click Deactivate, I get a set of options asking why I’m deleting the plugin. I select one, then click Deactivate (or whatever the button is labled). The dialogue box is dismissed and nothing happens. No error message, unless it’s getting logged somewhere.

In reply to: [Sydney] News page background and text colourAh … just noticed that if I now try to load an individual post, that now has the same problem. I’ll see if I can addapt the CSS above (though I haven’t really got my head around CSS).

In reply to: [Sydney] Second menu on each pageI’ve tried it now (thanks), but unfortunately it seems to do the same as the other plugins that I’ve tried. ie It replaces the primary menu with a page specific menu rather than adding a second menu.

Forum: Localhost Installs
In reply to: Google SSLs and APIsThanks.
So does that mean I’m right? ie It’s largely because the localhost site is on my laptop (and the WAMP server doesn’t have a valid SSL certificate), but when I move the localhost develloped site to replace the live site on it’s current server (where the sheet and calendat display correctly, they still should?Forum: Themes and Templates

In reply to: [Sydney] Emplyees’ biogs and orderIs there no way to get more text than just their role to display in the widget?
Thanks for your help.

In reply to: [Sydney] Emplyees’ biogs and orderPost Types Order plugin – Awesome! Thanks.
I’m still sruggling with the employee biogs. Here’s what I’m doing in the WP Dashboard.
1) Employeed > All Employees > John Smith
2) Under the employee name … Permalink: http://localhost/sitename/employees/ohn-smith/ … copy this link.
3) In the main text area for the employee, write a biog.
4) Scroll down to Employee info > Employee Link
5) Paste permalink into field.
6) Update and then Prview ChangesIn the published page, there is still no extra text appearing under the employees photo. (The employee’s name is now a link, but it returns a Page not found error message.)
Have selected the wrong permalink, or put it in the wrong place?

In reply to: Custom CSS basicsI’m reasonably confident the CSS is valid as I’ve used the code from this WPBeginner tip.
body.category-tv { background-image: url("http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/your-background-image.jpg"); background-position: center center; background-size: cover; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; }To get the classname I used Inspect Element (in Firefox).
There seem to be two nested statements that highlight the right area when I roll over them with the mouse.<div class="col-main"> <div class="entry-content">I’ve tried replacing category-tv in the above code with both (as well as using a link to an image file on the localhost site) but it makes no difference at all.

In reply to: Editing SQL database for local siteThanks all.
I’m afraid some of this was beyond my understanding, but I resorted to All-In-One-WP-Migrationin the end, which worked. (I’d tried a couple of migration plugins before but they were either failing to transfer media files or plugins.)From that process I’m wondering if it was something to do with permalinks, but that’s only a guess.

In reply to: Duplicate private development siteI was assuming that was possible, but I’m not sure how that would work in practice?

In reply to: Updating local siteThanks.
The instructions I found for importing the database suggeted I should be able to find a .sql file in the (copy of the) root folder copied from the live site. There isn’t one.
Any suggestions on where I can find the .sql file or should I be looking for something else?
