Are you able to install other plugins ?
Problems of this type often come down to file and directory permission and ownership issues.
Access your file using either FTP or your hosting management file manager. Is there already a file with this name ?

To install the plugin manually in your position I would:
– Install the FTP program filezilla, configure it to access my website files.
– Extract the woo plugin on my local computer.
– Use filezilla to upload the woocommerce directory to your plugins directory.

If you have SQL access via your website managemnt login then you can use phpmyadmin to change these settings in the “_options” table.

Otherwise you can add these lines to your “wp-config.php” file:

define('WP_HOME','http://www.wiseoid.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://www.wiseoid.com');

Then you will be able to login and change your settings, then remove the special lines from wp-config

In your wp-config.php file, add these lines:

define('WP_HOME','http://localhost/wordpress');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://localhost/wordpress');

This will let you login and change the database entries, then remove the wp-config lines.

Then suggest that you experiment with SSL etc using NON-WordPress pages on your server before doing this again.

Yes, you can use ftp such as filezilla to upload the files. The only file which will change is your “wp-config.php” which will need the database name and password strings required by your hosting.

This will leave you with upload the database and almost certainly modify many entries in it to accommodate the domain name change. If you used the “VirtualHost” technique it is possible that this will not be necessary, but most people develop at “localhost” instead. What you will need is a smart search and replace function, there are plugins available to do this.

On the other hand you could save your time and pay for the plugin that you are already familiar with. It probably is not a lot of money, it is what I would do if I was otherwise paying a developer by the hour to do it manually. What is your time worth ?

There are two different ways I could do this, the choice between them would depend upon a balance between how complex the page is and how generic your solution is and how easily it could be configured on other sites with other themes.

A) Create a custom page template in your theme (best practice a child theme). Start with your theme’s page.php or index.php file and just after the code that does “the loop”, you incorporate your PHP that does the query and outputs the results in a table on the page. You have complete control of the page, if you need custom javascript or css you just put it there. You put the text which preceeds the results table into a page and set the page template to your custom php file. No plugin required, all your code is in just one file. This approach gives you total control but does associate your result to using your specific theme.

B) Write a plugin that defines a shortcode. The shortcode function does the query and again outputs the results in a table. Your WordPress page has your descriptive text and the shortcode. The plugin can be used with any theme, depending upon the theme you may need custom css. However your code only gets to work at the point of the shortcode, if the page needs custom javascript or css or customised page features then this single call may not be enough. Again you could confine all your code to just a plugin file.

Neither approach addresses how your custom data table is created or maintained. The first time I did something like this I used both a plugin and theme template files, it works fine but would be a bit unfair on anyone else as they would not know what was coming from where. Subsequently I have mostly taken the custom page template approach because I wanted some pages to be totally off theme.

You would help us help you if you chose a better heading for this support thread.

Your problem is that a cache is displaying stale content, this could be caused by:
– your browser cache on your computer. What happens when you view from other computers or browsers ?
– Do you have any page cache plugins configured in your WordPress site, if so disable them and or check the settings.
– Your website hosting may be using a cache. If so check with your website hosting support.

Possibly a website hosting file/directory permission or owner problem.
You will need to access your website files using either FTP or your website hostimg management control panel file manager.
Your website hosting support may be able to help.

(Edit) I just checked and can’t access any part of your website.
