In reply to: plug ins or tips to have a faster websiteHi there;
Well, there are a lot of factors that go into a page speed calculation.
1) Optimized images – use images that are set to the exact dimensions they will appear on the page. This prevents the browser from having to resize images on the fly.
2) Caching plugin – an oldie and favorite. Caching. Caching your site will make it load faster when the page is rendered multiple times from the same browser. Browse WordPress caching plugins…
3) Add “expires headers” to static content – Meaning; any images, scripts or css that are static (won’t change) don’t have to be recalled by the browser… so we set a time WAY into the future; so it never gets called again.
Those are the big three I use. There are many blogs on Google about how to “speed up WordPress”. Browse through them… and notice the items that are repeated in each blog post. Those are the items where I would focus.
Hope this helps get you started.

In reply to: Switch databases?In the wp-options table; you have two values (home url and site url)… both will need to be adjusted.
Is this a multi-site install? If so; there will be some additional steps.
Did you check the codex on Moving WordPress?

In reply to: Visual Editor Not WorkingWell, another method would be as follows:
1) Deacivate ALL plugins.
2) Switch to the default 2015 theme.
3) Verify you did steps 1 and 2 (they are crucial).
4) Manually empty/clear your browser cache.Now, check and see if the editor loads properly (it should).
5) Reactivate your theme you were using.
6) Go back and see if the editor is working.If it does not; it is an issue with your theme.
If it does; continue.7) Reactivate a few plugins (3 or 4).
8) Go back and see if the editor is working.If it does not; you know one of those plugins are interfering.
If it does; continue.9) Keep reactivating plugins until you find which one is breaking the editor.

In reply to: Admin bar showing up on everyone's browser as meWow – I see it too. That’s crazy.
If it isn’t a plugin; then it might be something in your theme. Switch to the default 2015 theme; manually clear your browser cache; and see if the issue persists.

In reply to: Visual Editor Not WorkingHello,
Regarding number 2; this is most often caused by a javascript error on the page, which prevents the rest of the editor from loading properly.
You can use your browser to diagnose for javascript errors. Please post back here any errors you see.
Also, you can deactivate ALL plugins… manually clear your browser cache… and see if the issue persists. If it does not, then you know a plugin is at fault.
Lastly, I bet if you fix number 2, it will also fix number 1 🙂

In reply to: website backup/Wp_options importTake a look at the image on this link:
http://www.howtospoter.com/web-20/wordpress/wordpress-guide-dissection-of-file-structureAlthough outdated; it depicts how the file structure should appear in the root directory.
You’ll need to get the files and folders into the WAMP folder used for the website.

In reply to: website backup/Wp_options importNo.
Uncompress it first; and see if you can gain access to the file directories.
Then move the root file and folders (wp-admin folder, wp-content folder, wp-includes folder, index.php, wp-config.php, etc) into the folder of your WAMP that is set to be the root folder of the website.

In reply to: Previewing page materialsI believe you mis-typed the link to your website.
Okay, in order to hid the information; let’s try adding the following custom CSS rule to your styles:
body.page-id-135 div.postDetails > p { display: none; }This CSS will ensure it only executes on the page with an ID of 135 (your trainers page); only on first paragraph element of the div with a class of postDetails.
In other words; it should hide the description area 😉

In reply to: website backup/Wp_options importCan you extract the .tar file to your desktop? If so, do that and then move the files to your local WAMP folder.

In reply to: how to call secondary menu from a customized pageWell, the error indicates that the function is not yet defined; which, in turn, infers the template file is not being loaded properly.
If you comment out the ‘wp_title’ function in your template file; does another error appear regarding
bloginfo?If it does; then none of the WordPress functions in your template file are going to fire properly.
How are you loading the template files?

In reply to: How can I remove the underline from a URL?You bet 🙂
You’re very welcome.
Okay, I have a little feedback for you:
1)
Updating your WordPress installation to the latest release. This would ensure all code is up-to-date; and also prevents security risks/flaws.2)
Posting your question on the WordPress WooCommerce section:
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerceAs you can see; that section is MUCH more active than the “official” support page. It was suggested your question would get much better exposure over there; as more users who are familiar with the plugin seem to frequent that page.
3)
Turn on wp-debug in your wp-config.php file. Since your site is live; this should only be done temporarily. But turn it on; replicate the issue; see if any warnings or errors are thrown; then turn it off. If any errors are shown, post them here.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Remove Sidebar from only certain pagesGotcha. Yeah, that plugin won’t remove the sidebar from the theme template (it can’t)… it only offers flexibility of “what” shows “where”.
To remove the sidebar completely; two things come to mind:
1) A theme option. Does your theme support multiple page templates (columns)?
2) Coding. You’ll need a child theme; where you can place a function that will remove the sidebar from the page.
