In reply to: resizing images to fit squeeze pageNot really a WordPress question, but the only tool I am aware of (and use) to capture a scrolling area is Snagit.

In reply to: How do I change My URL?This is the support forum for WordPress.ORG
You would need to post your question on the support forum for WordPress.COM
This explains the difference:

Here is the link to the correct forum:
http://en.forums.wordpress.com/
BTW, you do not require WP on your own computer for either one 🙂

In reply to: Cloning Live Site to LocalhostWhat they didn’t seem to tell me is that when I changed the link to point to my localhost url, I need to put in the port number too.
This is not a default requirement and is only needed if one has changed the default port settings.
where 81 is the port number for Apache as configured within MAMP
Port 81 is not the default MAMP port for Apache; 8888 is the default 🙂
I point out these items so that others reading this do not get confused as the OP is using a non-default port number for MAMP.

Is you blog on WordPress.COM? If so, this is not the correct forum. This is the forum for self-hosted sites using software from WordPress.ORG.
You would need to ask here:

See this for the explanation of the differences:

In reply to: Installed WP on a new domain and it won't recognize.So, I registered ionanicole.com today
Am I just not patient enough? Possibly. LOL
Yes 🙂
It can take up to 48 hours sometimes for things “to all mesh together and resolve”, but generally (and in my experience with GD) it is closer to 24 hours.

In reply to: Starting OverDo you have a URL for the site so that we may have a look at how it is “screwed up”? 🙂 Or are you building this locally on your own computer using something such as XAMPP, WAMP, MAMP, etc.
Generally, there is no need to completely start over unless one messes around with the core files and even then, one can always upload fresh copies.
Some more detailed info on what it is exactly that you expect and the theme names you have tried will go a long way in the forum members being able to better assist you if they are able.

In reply to: How to stop hidden adv from browser to app store on the mobile?A URL to your site will be appreciated too 🙂 Kind of difficult to see what is going on without one.

In reply to: Permalinks 404 error local MAMPAfter watching the screencast, I believe there is something else going on there, but I am at a loss to figure it out.
No matter what I try on my own MAMP install, given your example, I am unable to duplicate your error. For me, it just works as intended.
Perhaps someone else may be able to shine some light on this 🙂
Note that I am using the latest version of MAMP 3.0.7.1 with ALL the default settings (out of the box, as-is) and the latest WP 4.0 running on Yosemite 10.10.

In reply to: What do I put in second site folderThank you for this topic as it got me to finally take a look at Multisite 🙂
I set up a brand new WP 4.0 install in my fave local server, Uniform Server, and following the Codex instructions, successfully set up Multisite! Cool!
In order to troubleshoot the OP’s problem, I did the same thing using the latest version of WAMPServer 2.5. I didn’t even get to the Multisite part and ran into trouble and I believe this is the source of the issue the OP is having.
Part of the instructions in the Codex it to ensure your permalinks are working properly. I did so on the Uniform Server install and yep, all is fine; they are rewriting properly.
Not so on WAMPServer however; the dreaded 404/ not found. Hmm … off to Google, which lead me back to the forum and this post:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customised-permalinks-causing-404-error-on-wamp?replies=2
You have to manually enable mod_rewrite in Apache in WAMPServer. Note that the line the post indicates is not the exact one so I just did a search for
mod_rewrite.soRestarted Apache, finished the Multisite setup and added
sitenumber2and yep, there it was 🙂Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Fatal Error. Help needed asap!!Further to what catacaustic mentions, one of the ways to help prevent FTP issues when uploading this many files is to simplly ZIP the contents of the local site and then then use your hosting account’s file manager to upload and unZIP that single file.
c:\wamp\www\website\mywebsite\trusted\public_html\
This path is not how it should be. I am unclear as to why you would create such a convoluted path 🙂
For example, let’s use
livesiteas the folder name where you place the contents of your hosted site. The path will be:C:\wamp\www\livesiteThe URL to use to access the front of the site will be:
http://localhost/livesisteand the admin log in will behttp://localhost/livesite/wp-adminForum: Localhost Installs
In reply to: Change from 8888 to 80May I suggest you keep developing using 8888 using the default setting for MAMP. Why complicate things 🙂
If, on the other hand, you really DO want to use port 80 and have adjusted that in the MAMP settings, then you also must do so in the database, as you have already started with 8888 and there will be references to this URL stored in it.
– using phpMyAdmin, change the
siteurlandhomefields in the wp_options table; if they were something likehttp://localhost:8888/folder_namethen change tohttp://localhost/folder_name– install and run this plugin to change the URLs for all other links already in the site:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/velvet-blues-update-urls/
— select all options EXCEPT the last one (GUID)
– re-save your permalinks (if they were set to anything other than the default)
Note that one of the main reasons to use a port other than 80 is to preclude any conflict with other apps you may have that are already using it, notably Skype.
And don’t worry about what the URL looks like while developing locally as you will have to go through the same process of updating the URLs when (if) you move it to a live server with a proper domain.

In reply to: Unable to install Zip Theme – Download errorYes, hosted as in HostGator, Bluehost, GoDaddy, etc. as opposed to locally on your own computer using something like XAMPP, WAMPServer, MAMP, etc.
I would inquire with your host on this matter.

In reply to: Unable to install Zip Theme – Download errorWhere are you running this site? Local or hosted?
Running that error through Google indicates a server config issue.

Perhaps contact the theme dev on the theme’s support page:
