What I’d try to do find out what’s causing it is temporarily deactivate all plugins and see if it stops doing that. If so, start enabling them one by one until it starts happening again. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Can Only Edit Certain Pages (and don't know FTP Password)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-only-edit-certain-pages-and-dont-know-ftp-password/) * [John Parris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindctrl/) * (@mindctrl) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-only-edit-certain-pages-and-dont-know-ftp-password/#post-6154608) * Hi Alisa, * You’d have to contact the web hosting company about getting the FTP password. As far as the blank page only showing up on some pages, I’d try temporarily deactivating all the plugins and activating the default Twenty Fifteen theme to see if it fixes things. If so, you can start enabling this again one by one until you figure out which one is causing it to break. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to set margins](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-set-margins-1/) * [John Parris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindctrl/) * (@mindctrl) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-set-margins-1/#post-6154605) * Maybe this if that doesn’t work. * ``` .single-post .entry-container { max-width: 700px; margin: 0 auto; } ``` * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to set margins](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-set-margins-1/) * [John Parris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindctrl/) * (@mindctrl) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-set-margins-1/#post-6154604) * Hi, * If I understand you correctly, this is the CSS you’ll need: * ``` .entry-container { max-width: 700px; margin: 0 auto; } ``` * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to setup for digital downloads?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-setup-for-digital-downloads/) * [John Parris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindctrl/) * (@mindctrl) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-setup-for-digital-downloads/#post-6154603) * Hi, * See this tutorial for the various ways this can be done.

They’re not very busy sites though, and I run them on another server. When I initially started using it, I was running both Piwik and GA so I could compare the stats, and not lose anything if I decided to ditch Piwik. So far so good with Piwik. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Remove Page Title in Twenty Thirteen](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-page-title-in-twenty-thirteen/) * [John Parris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindctrl/) * (@mindctrl) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-page-title-in-twenty-thirteen/#post-6129816) * That code doesn’t look quite right, but it looks like you figured it out now.

Are you editing the core theme files or doing it in a child theme? You should be doing child themes so you don’t lose your customizations when installing updates in the future. * [https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-content/themes/twentythirteen/content.php#L21-L26](https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-content/themes/twentythirteen/content.php#L21-L26) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to add something to the backend vertical menu](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-add-something-to-the-backend-vertical-menu/) * [John Parris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindctrl/) * (@mindctrl) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-add-something-to-the-backend-vertical-menu/#post-6128345) * Hi, * The message I received in email is entirely different than what you have here( it was something about Facebook comments), so I’m guessing you edited it after posting it. * Creating a new ‘post-new.php’ page with all the elements that are included there is a pretty big project if you’re unfamiliar with the basics of getting a page there to begin with. Unfortunately I don’t have a guide to link you to for doing that. * If you read the docs I linked you to previously and look at the existing post- new.php as an example to work from, that’ll be a good way to start. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Searching with multiple categories using checkboxes](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/searching-with-multiple-categories-using-checkboxes/) * [John Parris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindctrl/) * (@mindctrl) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/searching-with-multiple-categories-using-checkboxes/#post-6125246) * Hi, * You might want to use the Query Multiple Taxonomies plugin, or one of the recommended ones on that page.

So your main site isn’t WordPress? If not, passing credentials securely by integrating with another authentication system can be quite involved. * What kind of authentication system is on the main site?
