Without being able to debug what’s going on under the hood, I don’t have any other suggestions at this time. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Translation of dates, days, and other front end stuff](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-of-dates-days-and-other-front-end-stuff/) * [John Parris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindctrl/) * (@mindctrl) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translation-of-dates-days-and-other-front-end-stuff/#post-5944797) * Editing core WP files isn’t recommended, as you lose your translations when updating in the future. Have you considered creating an official Cornish translation? I’m sure the translation folks would love to have you!

Did you try going directly to /wp-admin when the theme folder was renamed? Do you have the default WordPress Twenty Fifteen theme in your folder? * Either way, since the theme thing didn’t work, I’d try the following: * Rename the folders of any plugins you have active, so that WordPress deactivates them. Then try going directly to /wp-admin and try to login. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to fix the WordPress White Screen](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-fix-the-wordpress-white-screen/) * [John Parris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindctrl/) * (@mindctrl) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-fix-the-wordpress-white-screen/#post-5945424) * I don’t see a white screen at wp-login.php like you mentioned. [http://cl.ly/image/0K3e183B0q2v](http://cl.ly/image/0K3e183B0q2v) * But, normally themes don’t load on the login page like that, so I’m guessing you have a theme issue. You can test that by renaming your theme folder using FTP or your hosting panel, and letting WP fall back to the default theme. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to fix the WordPress White Screen](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-fix-the-wordpress-white-screen/) * [John Parris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindctrl/) * (@mindctrl) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-fix-the-wordpress-white-screen/#post-5945415) * Do you see any errors in the debug.log file inside your wp-content directory? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Homepage content will not show in back-end while front end is working perfectly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/homepage-content-will-not-show-in-back-end-while-front-end-is-working-perfectly/) * [John Parris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindctrl/) * (@mindctrl) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/homepage-content-will-not-show-in-back-end-while-front-end-is-working-perfectly/#post-5945357) * So the content doesn’t show in the page editor or on the front end? It makes no sense for the content to not show in the back end, unless there’s some plugin or theme conflict. When I suggested to temporarily deactivate the plugins, I meant to check it while they’re all deactivated. Did you try that? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Adding a page as a child of a category](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-a-page-as-a-child-of-a-category/) * [John Parris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindctrl/) * (@mindctrl) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-a-page-as-a-child-of-a-category/#post-5941985) * If you set it up as a post, you can have the URL structure contain the category by going to Settings > Permalinks and setting the custom structure to `%category%/% postname%/`. * Doing this though, you’ll want to only assign posts to one category to ensure the correct one gets used. * But, you’re left with the issue of using a specific template for that particular post. You can do this with a bit of custom code. * First, you need the post ID of this special post. You can get that by editing the post in the admin and looking at the post ID in the URL. [http://cl.ly/image/0i1e3n0T293t](http://cl.ly/image/0i1e3n0T293t) Note the `post=744`. In this case, my post ID is 744. * Armed with this, you can create a template that’s made especially for that post. Normally a single post is displayed by the single.php template file. If you have another template, make a copy of it and name it single-744.php (replace 744 with your post ID). * Use this code to override the template for that special post. * ``` function jp_single_template_id( $located_template ) { $single_template = locate_template( array( sprintf( "single-%d.php", absint( get_the_ID() ) ), $located_template ) ); if( ! empty( $single_template ) ) { return $single_template; } else { return $located_template; } } add_filter( 'single_template', 'jp_single_template_id' ); ``` * This code will load that template for just that post, and fallback to the default template for all other posts. * Forum: [Hacks](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/hacks/) In reply to: [Custom Post Type placed in Category – Using pre_get_posts causes problems](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-post-type-placed-in-category-using-pre_get_posts-causes-problems/) * [John Parris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindctrl/) * (@mindctrl) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-post-type-placed-in-category-using-pre_get_posts-causes-problems/#post-5933186) * See if is_main_query will do it for you.

Posts can. * So, if you’re using pages, you set up a parent page called, for example, Checkout. Then you create another page and set the Parent page in the Page Attributes box.
