In reply to: Live Preview (Customizer) Not workingInstead of through the customizer, you will have a better time changing themes etc through the old path: Dashboard > Appearance > Themes and so on.
Or you could change to a different browser.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: FTP question – find login credentials within online dashboard?Using this site: https://www.whoishostingthis.com/
find out who is hosting your website.
Talking to their sales and technical support should work out who is paying for the hosting, also establish your legitimate interest in the hosting, good luck.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Theme overlying ThemeSorry, your website that displays is not a WordPress website, the code shows the generator is “1&1 MyWebsite”, does this ring a bell with you ?
The code is:
<meta name="generator" content="1&1 MyWebsite">
Other signs are that your within website menu links are “.html” files.What you are showing is a relic website at the same address, once you remove its visibility the WordPress website will become visible.
So for a start, I suggest you rename “index.html” to something else like “old.html”, no need to rename “insurances.html” or “doctor.html”. Now you will be able to get to work.

In reply to: How can i encrypt user data in databaseI am curious as to what you want to achieve ? What security situations do you want to defend against ?
If the WordPress core were able to encrypt the data that was stored in the tables, then it would also have to be able to decrypt it too, so the encrypt and decrypt keys would be in the website somewhere. So what security would you have achieved ?
I have thought of other security illusions too. Like the database user is configured to have all privileges, surely this is excessive, like create table ability is only required for install or maintenance, so why not have two users, the normal WordPress runtime would not need table create say. But this achieves nothing, you have to have database update capability anyway, with it malicious code can destroy a website, so it does not matter.

In reply to: Error establishing a connection to the databaseHello @mg10,
It looks like you have started 3 (or is it 4?) threads seeking support for the same problem.I think you have a MAMP webserver installation or configuration problem, please use the replies you have received and also MAMP support to solve your problem.

Have you asked in the support forum for this plugin ?
Looks like here: https://revolution.themepunch.com/Since the volunteers here do not have access to this code, it is expected that you get support from the vendor.

In reply to: Changing My Themes Footer.I am curious as to your contractual relationship and obligations with this company.
You have said that they refuse to support your site, but then continue to say that the would expect to be paid for making changes.
If it were my work, I would expect to be acknowledged for my authorship, on what grounds do you want it removed ?Forum: Localhost Installs
In reply to: apache_error index.php’ not found or unable to statThis is a problem with your apache2 webserver configuration. Something like the file access or ownership settings, or the location is different.
Also try loading “<website address>/readme.html”
Have you checked with the MAMP configuration and support info.

In reply to: White blank space on bottom of my websiteThe validator found that your page has errors. One is that there are TWO “body” elements, this is never correct. You need to fix this problem(s), either seek support from your theme author, or create a child theme and fix it yourself.
Changing css is not a solution.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: irrelevent technical informationYes catacaustic, that would work. An easier change that is about as good is to:
– Login to the website dashboard
– In the theme customizer > additional css, addfooter.entry-meta { display: none; }The content will still be transferred, it just won’t be displayed, it won’t take up space.

Have you tried looking from other browsers and other computers, from mobile ?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: irrelevent technical informationIt would help us help you if you included a link to your site.
Without having your circumstances in front of me, you could use your browser inspector to view the html + css of your web pages, and put a phrase of custom css in your customizer along the lines of:
"some list of classes" { display:none; }
