Forum: Localhost Installs
In reply to: Cannot change site name and url as expected using XAMPPOf course the directory name must match the URL and file path of the website and the various website resources.
Maybe you should be reading and using the “moving WordPress” docs, this directly addresses these questions. Details here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPressOn the other hand, I would be encouraging you to leave all this stuff of addressing sites via “localhost” and instead use the VirtualHost configuration method instead. This lets you name sites with URLs that are real, it makes transitions to/from hosting very easy.
Configure your localhost to use a domain name using these instructions:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/vhosts/
And put the domain name into your “hosts” file, details here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29Hello Kevin, that is a very impressive .htaccess file, way more complex than any I have used. Please simplify your troubleshooting by turning off the various browser cache and page cache plugins, and if necessary remove these blocks from your .htaccess. Only re-enable them one at a time, with testing after your problem is fixed. Save a copy of the present .htaccess of course.
You need to go through the “moving WordPress” procedures detailed here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
Even though the website is not actually moving, the name is being changed, which to the website looks like a move.Among other changes your Site Address and WordPress Address need to be changed.
It would have been better if you had waited till after the name was registered and redirected to then install the WordPress site.- This reply was modified 8 years, 3 months ago by RossMitchell.

In reply to: Images not showing upIt would be respectful to this support community to explain just what you did with “Better Search Replace plugin”. This way you may assist someone like yourself in not having to ask your question, saving everyone time and effort.

In reply to: Connection to another database in wordpressOnly experienced developers would take this on.
I think a good question at this stage is to ask why you want to connect to an “OrientDB” in the first place. This could be something these support forums can assist with.

In reply to: Need some help fixing some stuff on my websiteSuggest that you also ask these questions in the support forums for your theme and woocommerce.
The text:
Open this in UX Builder to add and edit content
Is in the footer, you may be able to find and change this in your theme options.
I don’t see 2 or 3
For 4, you need to configure a shipping method in the woocommerce config settings, you may need to add a (possibly paid) shipping methods plugin.

In reply to: Images not showing upWhat are the settings for your SiteAddress and WordPressAddress, find these from your Dashboard > Settings > General. It probably includes “127.0.0.1” where it should be the IP address of the Pi, this needs to be a fixed IP address, the other alternative is to use the VirtualHost configuration method which will let you use names, and then edit these names and IP into each hosts file.
From one of the computers on your LAN, use the browser inspector to view the URL or one of the images.

In reply to: work on shop while landing page is onlineVarious ways to do this.
You will probably keep the theme, the same theme is used for the whole website, you may find you need to add some style customizations for your shop.What I would do is add new pages for the product and checkout etc, and make sure that the names of these new pages ARE NOT in the website menus. So that as a practical matter the pages are not visible to the world, without links even google wont find them. You of course do know the names, can create browser bookmarks to them and access them from the dashboard.

In reply to: Woocommerce shippingYou may be better off asking this question in the woocommerce support forums.
You must have a shipping method configured for each destination country.
Are you using a shipping methods plugin ? If yes then ask in that plugin’s support forum.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Strict standards errorThe “headers already sent” error is often caused my an extra and very hard to find newline at the end of a PHP file. Maybe in your wp-config.php
What files have you changed most recently.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Connection to another database in wordpressYes it is possible to create a new instance of the wpdb class and have it access other databases, or use other PHP code and libraries to do the same.
However possibly this is not necessary, on many projects I have created completely independent database tables within my WordPress database, WordPress neither knows nor cares about them, I access them from my own plugin.I am having trouble understanding your description, at times it says it works perfectly well, at others that it downloads a text file.
First I suggest that you test that your localhost is configured and running, in your browser load URL: <whatever your localhost is called/readme.html
The WordPress readme file provides a first test. Does it work ?You really need to read more instructions about installing WordPress, YES you will need to enter settings for “database_name_here, username password” into
your wp-config.php file.Forum: Developing with WordPress
In reply to: Sub directory require loginSince it is the web server that is using the URL and accessing files, it is best addressed outside of WordPress.
Your web host management login will let you do this. The commonest of these is “cPanel”, use its “Password protected directories” to password protest your directories and files.
