In reply to: I get a 403 Permission Denied error on trying to update pluginsThanks Esmi. Thanks AITpro.
Simply going through the Bulletproof Security process again, recreating the .htaccess files with AutoMagic, resolved the matter.
Interestingly, at least I think it is, before doing so I discovered that I could update a plugin one at a time. The only thing that was actually producing a 403 was:
Dashboard > Updates > Select All > Update.
Thanks again.

In reply to: Add existing images on server to Media LibraryJust because an image is on the server does not mean WordPress media library ‘knows’ about it. You basically have to register the images with the library.
You’ll like this plugin:

In reply to: Can't search in media libraryIt appears that I had images on my server that weren’t recognised in the media library. I used the Add From Server plugin to get them recognised. Problem sorted.

In reply to: WP is eating my postsI was hoping you were going to say some rare or old. But I run the latest FF too and don’t have this problem.
The next thing people say on this forum (kind of like the switch it off and back on again advice you get with PCs) is to deactivate all plugins and see if that makes any difference. If so, switch them back on again one at a time until you find the culprit.
Apols. Don’t know what else to suggest.

In reply to: Appearance- iPad?Now I’m going to bow out. I don’t have an iPad 🙁
BTW, upgrading should be painless so long as your edits / customisations are in the right places – such as customised style sheets rather than in main style sheets.
I had similar problems, and needed to understand how I’d changed a theme (in the wrong way) before updgrading. I found this tool invaluable:

Best of luck.

In reply to: How to anchor-link to a post?Yep. That’s right.
Maybe you could compensate by finding a plugin that flags up the previous and next posts big style.

In reply to: Can't search in media libraryI use the Relevanssi plug-in if that makes any difference?

In reply to: Home page titleUnderstand.
Firstly, it’s not best practice to edit the TwentyEleven styles or PHP files directly, in case you lose your edits on updating the theme in the future.
TwentyEleven doesn’t allow you to create custom styles off the shelf, so add this extension first:
Plugins > Add new
and search for “Twenty Eleven Theme Extensions”
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twenty-eleven-theme-extensions/Once this plugin is activated, go to:
Appearance > Theme Extensions
and tick the custom CSS box.Now add this in the box:
.page-id-371 .entry-title { display: none; }Save changes.
In case you were wondering, all your pages get you a unique reference. Your homepage appears to have been given 371.
You can now give your homepage back its title so it appears in the menu. It shouldn’t appear on the homepage as a title though.
Lastly, you should think about using pretty URLs for your site… ones that people find easier to read.
eg,
http://www.duraglaze.co.nz/bathrooms
instead of
http://www.duraglaze.co.nz/?page_id=367You can do this at Settings > Permalinks.
BTW, the latter link will still work, it just gets shown as something prettier in the browser address bar.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Changing Link ColorYou site appears to employ Templatic’s iBusiness theme. The documentation is only available to members so I can’t be sure if this will work, but try it.
In Admin, see if there is a menu item in the vertical column on the left called “iBusiness”. It might be under the “Appearance” item.
Now, see if there is box in this section called “CSS” or “custom CSS”. If so, excellent, we’re in business.
Add the following line in the box, and click save.
a {
color: blue;
}Or replace blue with the #hexadecimal of your choice. Editing styles like this means your changes aren’t overwritten should you update the theme in future.
If iBusiness provides no such facility, you could set up a custom stylesheet, or simply edit the line below for the one above in styles.css by clicking Appearance > Editor > styles.css
a {
color: #0C607F;

In reply to: How to anchor-link to a post?It’s impossible as far as I know. Esmi is right. Usually is!

In reply to: Delete current ThemeYou can’t delete a theme if it’s the only one you have. Install a new theme, select the new theme as the one you want to use, then you can delete the one you don’t want anymore.
You can do all this at Admin > Appearance > Themes.

In reply to: Home page titleHi Tullah,
You should always put a link to your site when posting to this forum so we can check out what you mean exactly?
I think you want to remove “Home” from the navigation? If so, how will your visitors navigate back to the homepage?
Or are you referring to the title between your navigation and main body of text?

In reply to: Navigation barLooks like you sorted it?
