I’m not finding any means to edit it. Given that my website lockup was caused by an outdated version of PHP and not by any misbehavior of MaxButtons, I would like to delete my one star rating. I just can’t find a way to do so. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[MaxButtons - Create buttons] Great Support!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/w-a-r-n-i-n-g/) * Thread Starter [hindsight2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hindsight2/) * (@hindsight2) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/w-a-r-n-i-n-g/#post-7954239) * Your are correct on your theory about PHP version. I’ve discovered 5.2.17 is running on my website. I’ve opened a ticket asking my hosting company to update my website to latest version. Thank you for pointing this out. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [WP on Local Machine](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-on-local-machine/) * Thread Starter [hindsight2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hindsight2/) * (@hindsight2) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-on-local-machine/#post-1606886) * I was able to create a sub-domain site and install WP 2.7 without incident. I had some difficulty figuring how to import the backup file from my local machine, but came upon these instructions: * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup](http://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup) ( good stuff for a relative naive, like me) * That process seemed to go well, ending with a “Success” message. * Now, when I click on the wp-posts table in phpMyAdmin, I can see all my posts— So I know they’re there; however, I now get an error when I attempt to access the sub-domain website I created: http 500 Internal Server Error . . . * Not sure what that means, and I don’t know that it matters. I figured out how to edit entries in phpMyAdmin and I’m able to copy/paste them into a Word doc, so I’m happy! * Songdogtech, I’m very grateful for your advice! It’s great to have access to these journal entries, again. Thank you very much. * -Mike. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [WP on Local Machine](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-on-local-machine/) * Thread Starter [hindsight2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hindsight2/) * (@hindsight2) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-on-local-machine/#post-1606858) * Songdogtech — Thank you. That is very helpful. I’ll give it a try right now. I appreciate the head’s-up on the upgrade path. My website is running the 3.0 version; however, I can create a sub-site and install the older 2.7 version to that. * I’ll report back on how I make out with that. * Regards, -Mike. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [WP on Local Machine](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-on-local-machine/) * Thread Starter [hindsight2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hindsight2/) * (@hindsight2) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-on-local-machine/#post-1606842) * Oh, one other thing. I don’t necessarily need to restore/fix the WordPress installation on that old machine. Just access the journal entry content. * I’ll likely not continue keeping my journal in WP on the new machine. I’m leaning toward keeping a series of Word docs, as I once did, given that my spouse and kids are more comfortable with Word than with WordPress. * When I’m gone, I’d like them to be able to easily access, copy, move, distribute, etc. So, I need to think in terms my ultimate audience. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [WP on Local Machine](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-on-local-machine/) * Thread Starter [hindsight2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hindsight2/) * (@hindsight2) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-on-local-machine/#post-1606841) * I’m guessing the #2003 error is because I’ve shut down MySQL to avoid the pop- up “Access Violation” error message. * ??? * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Stopping Trackbacks, Spam, & Etc.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stopping-trackbacks-spam-amp-etc/) * Thread Starter [hindsight2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hindsight2/) * (@hindsight2) * [17 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stopping-trackbacks-spam-amp-etc/#post-1071172) * Okay, well that seems to be doing it.

I found a place in my admin settings to turn off pings and trackbacks. What will happen if I turn that setting to OFF? * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [White Screen (no error message) after running install.php](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/white-screen-no-error-message-after-running-installphp/) * Thread Starter [hindsight2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hindsight2/) * (@hindsight2) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/white-screen-no-error-message-after-running-installphp/#post-898879) * Thanks for the link. I checked Windows Event Viewer, but found no entry relative to a PHP error. Also, for good measure, I took a fresh download of wp-6.2.3 and, after deleting the previous upload to my host’s server, uploaded the fresh files( having again edited the wp-config.php file). * Also, to free up RAM, in the event that PHP had run out of RAM, I rebooted my system. * Still getting a blank white page when running install.php. Not sure how to check mod_security (or even what that is). * Could this problem have anything to do with corrupt files in my cgi-bin folder? Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total)
