Are you an administrator?

If you can do this:
https://make.wordpress.org/support/user-manual/customizing-wordpress/managing-users-on-your-wordpress-site/adding-users-to-your-wordpress-site/#adding-users

add a new admin user and write down the password and keep it safe. Try logging in as that user on another PC.

Then you know you have access you can maybe change your own password to something else.

If you don’t have the options above you can try the password reset process but i’d be careful with that try the above first.

In the theme where the content is outputted you likely have the_content()

You could change this to:

echo(substr(strip_tags(get_the_content()), 0, 100));

where 100 is the number of characters you want to output.

You could also change your local host file to direct all traffic from the web to localhost if you want to keep the DB the same:

Just remember to set it back at some point if you need to!

It can be tricky with debugging because like any open source platform WordPress is extended by a series of 3rd party plugins which are for the most part independent of each other.

Unsure of your php knowledge but we take the approach of this for plugins:
– Can we code what we need to do using WP and its core functions easily? yes ok dont look for a plugin do it
– Is it massive and we don’t have time, ok look for a plugin but ensure its been updated a lot and used by a significant number of users
– Ensure we have the auto updates in place for both WP and plugins in the functions file.

WP is great with plugins and themes but experience has taught me you should try to have as few plugins as you can.

For most sites all I ever use is literally:
acf-repeater
advanced-custom-fields
contact-form-7
contact-form-7-to-database-extension
bulk-resize-media
tinymce-advanced
resize-image-after-upload
redirection
wordfence
broken-link-checker
better-search-replace
wordpress-seo

using a custom theme built from scratch with functions etc built over time

Basically when you upload an image e.g.
web_WOMBAT-WARRIORS-400.jpg

Depending on how wordpress is setup it created a series of resized versions for optimisation and renames them e.g. in this case:
web_WOMBAT-WARRIORS-400-400×289.jpg

The option might be if you are happy to take the performance hit is to edit your theme template to use the original image not a resized version.

Its tricky since your media is uploaded into date based folders, some other members might have some tricks. Looks like you use a couple of additional sizes:
120×67.jpg
400×289.jpg

You could i guess change wordpress to not use date based folders for media in settings.

Upload all your missing images (which will create a big list with the resized versions) you can then change it back to date based and FTP in and move the 3 versions of each file to the correct date.

Its a faff and you should know media in WP only appears in the media library owing to an associated database entry (like posts) so the above solution creates an issue whereby you’ll have duplicate entries in the DB for the images e.g. the orignals and the ones you just uploaded to replace them.

I better option might be to use an image resizer desktop application to resize all you lost images and auto-rename them as needed then FTP them up.

As i said other members might have a better solution as you can realise your issue is actually 3x worse than you thought 🙁

You could try rewrite rules in .htaccess there are a number of tutorials online about this. Be careful with this though as WP has its own rewrite rules in place.

A simple manual way to do it is setup redirects using this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/

e.g.
/toto
301
/member/?member=toto

It would end up loading the second url in the address bar and you’d need to do this manually for each member so maybe a bit of a dodgy solution.

Another out of the box way would be to modify your 404.php file to check if the address is a member’s name then instead of producing a 404 access the post or redirect them on, this isn’t really a great way to go about it though.

Hi

its a simple couple of lines in the .htaccess file in the root of the site:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !www.sitename.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.sitename.com/$1 [L,R=301]

If you have no access to .htaccess you can achieve a similar result in php in the theme’s functions.php file.

if(empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) || $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == "off"){
    	$redirect = 'https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
    	header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
    	header('Location: ' . $redirect);
	}
}
