The official facebook plugin has poor reviews and is apparently buggy and there are so many others out there. * What all does the Facebook plugin do for you? I’m really just trying to sync comments between facebook and hte blog and vice versa. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Google map positioning](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-map-positioning/) * Thread Starter [jbardy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbardy/) * (@jbardy) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-map-positioning/#post-3114008) * [http://theworldtradecouncil.org/contact](http://theworldtradecouncil.org/contact) * Suppose that’s true, sorry.

I can check a theme before I even activate it. * WordPress is starting to amaze me. I had no idea it had so many featuers at such an easy configuration (for the most part). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Security issues?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-issues-5/) * Thread Starter [jbardy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbardy/) * (@jbardy) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-issues-5/#post-3101960) * You’re a life saver. Here’s a few more questions while I got ya… * This is a potential theme for the site: [http://themeforest.net/item/karma-clean-and-modern-wordpress-theme/168737](http://themeforest.net/item/karma-clean-and-modern-wordpress-theme/168737) * It seems this theme is popular; looks like they have video tutorials and a good support forum. It’s been downloaded tons of times and has lots of features. Seems like a better bang for the buck than most premium themes. * Do you think all these options will cause problems? * As for installation, thanks. I think I will probably keep the current theme files until the entire transfer is made, and FTP this new theme in and try the preview option from within wordpress dashboard to preview it. I heard some people have problems installing premium themes through dashboard instead of FTP. * I expect hours of customization after install, but at least this theme comes ready to configure it, a couple great color styles too. * I’ll make sure to run theme-checker. Do i have to have the theme installed and activated in order to run theme-checker? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Security issues?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-issues-5/) * Thread Starter [jbardy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbardy/) * (@jbardy) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-issues-5/#post-3101950) * Thanks a lot. * Now, if I install a new theme via FTP, would I just remove all files within the current theme folder and replace with the new theme folder? Is this better to do than via the theme’s dashboard? I am going to purchase a premium theme, so I’m guessing you HAVE to install downloaded premium themes via FTP since they aren’t built into the wordpress database. * That being said, is it a security issue to install premium themes from various websites? * Installing a new theme via FTP would keep all my posts, plugins, and database I assume… I hope. * Thanks a lot for the help, I am going to do great things once i sort out initial info. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Security issues?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-issues-5/) * Thread Starter [jbardy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbardy/) * (@jbardy) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-issues-5/#post-3101941) * Thanks again. * I have updated everything manually, locally and on Dropbox. * In the event that the site gets messed up, all I’d need to do is copy all files except for the SQL to the root folder via FTP. * The SQL i’d have to import via phpMyAdmin, correct? * If something gets messed up while changing the database prefix, wouldn’t I only need to re-import the SQL database via phpmyadmin and not touch the FTP files? * Thanks again. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Security issues?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-issues-5/) * Thread Starter [jbardy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbardy/) * (@jbardy) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-issues-5/#post-3101915) * So is this something I should absolutely do? * In the event that it messes something up, I have a plugin called PressBackup installed. There is a restore function as well; does this restore the database and all other content? * Thanks again. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Front page text is fixed?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/front-page-text-is-fixed/) * Thread Starter [jbardy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbardy/) * (@jbardy) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/front-page-text-is-fixed/#post-3098310) * Do you not connect to your wordpress files via an FTP or SFTP client? * You say you can’t see a difference, but that’s because the home page is not set to where it’s messed up. I will check back here in a a few minutes to see if you’re still on, and if so, I will change the home page to the messed up text i am talking about. * Thanks! * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Front page text is fixed?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/front-page-text-is-fixed/) * Thread Starter [jbardy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbardy/) * (@jbardy) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/front-page-text-is-fixed/#post-3098308) * Thanks for taking a look.. * yes they are all pretty much the same, but if you make your browser window very narrow and expand it, you will see that the text and images start to get centered out as the page gets larger. * The text on the static home page does not move at all. * I don’t suppose it’s a huge deal since none of this would look that great on mobile devices, but it’s a bit frustrating and leaving me to wonder if I should even change it since it’s such a small nuisance. * I did not setup this site, so it’s making things a bit complicated. * Should I be using SFTP or FTP to connect to the server? I can connect with FTP but SFTP is not working for me, so i’m wondering how crucial it is to use SFTP to update the wordpress files. * Thanks. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Front page text is fixed?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/front-page-text-is-fixed/) * Thread Starter [jbardy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbardy/) * (@jbardy) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/front-page-text-is-fixed/#post-3098305) * Well, because it is messed up, I don’t want to leave the site that way. * But, if you look at the products or about us page, drag the window size around, and notice how the paragraph text and images on the page all move based on the size of the window. * The front page paragraph text doesn’t move with the photos when it’s made a static page. * [http://www.theworldtradecouncil.org](http://www.theworldtradecouncil.org) * Thanks in advance.
