In reply to: Plugins missingDo you have a backup of your site and DB?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Plugins missingDo you have the plugins area on your dashboard? If so is it just not showing your plugins? Can you install plugins there. One other thing to check. FTP to your site, look in your WP-Content folder and see if the plugins folder is named correctly. Should say “plugins”.

In reply to: Plugins missingWas it WP that updated and did it complete the update? You may want to reinstall the update.

In reply to: I have been hacked, cannot loginTry manually resetting your plugins (no Dashboard access required). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.
If that does not resolve the issue, access your server via FTP or SFTP, navigate to
/wp-content/themes/and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Login attempts reached – could be a sign of attempted hack?Yes this could be an attempt to access your site, If you still cannot access your site use FTP and disable the plugin that limits the login attempts by adding .hold to the particular plugin folder. That should disable that plugin temporarily (rename it back once your in your dashboard and reactivate it).

In reply to: Login attempts reached – could be a sign of attempted hack?which plugin are you using to limit the login attempts?
You can do one of 2 things. Either download the theme to your computer and manually upload it to your WP to reinstall it. OR you can FTP to your site and RENAME your active theme to flat-bootstrap.hold which will force your site to use a default theme. That should give you access to your site. Once there, reinstall your theme. Then for future editing you should use a child-theme instead of editing theme or core files.

In reply to: I have been hacked, cannot loginIf you cannot get to your cpanel as well as your site, you should contact your host and start by resetting your password on your cpanel. The host should be able to help you reset your PW on your site as well.

In reply to: https yellow warning triangleDue to the differences between the free hosted blogs offered at wordpress.com and the self-hosted and self-installed version of WordPress supported here, you should probably ask WordPress.com Support instead.

In reply to: HELP – Moving links upYou can probably fix this with css. Here is some sources that will help. A child theme is strongly recommended.
If you are trying to code HTML/CSS, it would probably be a good idea to get a good understanding of them.
There are lots of guides available, here is one for CSS:
http://www.htmldog.com/guides/css/beginner/The best way to make changes like this to a theme is to use a child theme, so your tweaks won’t be overwritten when updating the theme. Here are some guides in case you haven’t made one before:

In reply to: No Plugins on WordPress 4.3.1A site link would help
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Editing home page help – nOObieIf you use a commercial theme or plugin and need support, please go to their official support channel. In order to be good stewards of the WordPress community, and encourage innovation and progress, we feel it’s important to direct people to those official locations.
Forum volunteers are also not given access to commercial products, so they would not know why your commercial theme or plugin is not working properly. This is one other reason why volunteers forward you to the commercial product’s vendors. The vendors are responsible for supporting their commercial product.

In reply to: No Plugins on WordPress 4.3.1Let me clarify, is the site running on wordpress.com server or is it a self hosted wordpress install? If it is a wordpress.com site it won’t have plugins available.
