 * Hi,
 * I’m not sure if you’ve solved this problem of your’s? I was interested in doing
   the same thing and was playing around just now.
 * I figured out that the number of entries per page is defined in the variable `
   entries_per_page` as 50. It is located in a few places`teachpress/core/shortcodes.
   php` and `teachpress/core/general.php`. One thing you could do is just increase
   this value. I presume one overrides the other, so I just played around now and
   changed them all; of course, it’s better to find out which shortcode you’re using,
   etc. and just change that one.
   Alternatively, there is the variable `pagination`,
   which you could try switching to “off” (0). I guess this would work as well.
 * Hope this helps!

 * Hi [@contentiskey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/contentiskey/) ,
 * Thanks a lot for your reply! I actually didn’t try any other PDF, but I did try
   the PowerPoint file which the PDF was generated from (which was even larger),
   and that was being rejected.
 * However, I tried your solution and it solved my problem! Thank you very much 
   for your help! I was at a lost about what else I could have done with the server’s
   and WordPress’ settings…

 * I was just having this problem today. Besides the suggestions so far, you might
   want to upload a smaller image. You can reduce the dimensions of the figure, 
   but if you are uploading a png file (for example), try converting it to jpg format
   first. That is a lossy compressed format that will give a smaller file. Probably
   no noticeable difference from png for the “average” person.

 * Hi [@mrtom414](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrtom414/),
 * Thanks for your follow-up reply! By editing the theme.json files, I presume you
   meant going to “Tools | Theme file editor” and then maybe “Theme Styles & Block
   Settings” on the right? When I first encountered my problem, I did get as far
   as looking at this, but I didn’t know what was the “right way” to do things.
 * I think FSE is still relatively new and, unfortunately, when I’m searching for
   information with Google, I’m picking up a lot of older information that might
   no longer be relevant. I’ve only recently started editing in WordPress (previously,
   I was only responsible for administration of the underlying computer), so seeing
   older information lying around has actually confused me. More recently, I’m trying
   to focus my attention on only dated information, and only those from the past
   year.
 * Anyway, thanks for your advice — I will pay more attention to theme.json from
   now on, as well as read more about it if that’s the direction WordPress seems
   to be heading.
 * Thank you!

 * Hi [@chrisjscott](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisjscott/),
 * Is that your entire conf file? I think you need to add something in order for
   Apache to make use of the .htaccess files.
 * I’m not sure if you’re using Ubuntu, but I have it bookmarked so it is handy 
   for me. i.e., [https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-wordpress-on-ubuntu-22-04-with-a-lamp-stack](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-wordpress-on-ubuntu-22-04-with-a-lamp-stack)
 * I think you need:
 *     ```
       <Directory /var/www/wordpress/>
         AllowOverride All
       </Directory>
       ```
   
 * I think I have followed these instructions before to set up my system. If you
   are using Ubuntu, perhaps you can go through it as sort of a checklist.
 * I can’t see anything obviously wrong with your conf files. However, personally,
   I don’t have any RewriteEngine or RewriteRule in my conf file. It’s all in my.
   htaccess file (that’s written by WordPress when I choose permalinks; I didn’t
   edit it).
 * Hope this helps!

 * Hi [@contentiskey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/contentiskey/) ,
 * Sorry to bother you but just wanted to let you know that I found the solution
   to my problem: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-get-rid-of-blockgap-in-first-and-parent-wp-block-group/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-get-rid-of-blockgap-in-first-and-parent-wp-block-group/).
 * Once I had the name of the class that was causing me problems, I was able to 
   search for it with Google within our forums. Turns out the Group that contained
   the Block was adding space above. (I was also confused whether it was the menu
   adding space below or the body adding space above.)
 * Thanks a lot for your reply! It helped me figure out what to look for and what
   not to look for. So many options to wade through…it’s a bit overwhelming.
 * Thanks again!

 * Hi [@contentiskey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/contentiskey/) ,
 * Thanks a lot for your reply! I didn’t realise it was just a URL like that! Thank
   you!
 * As for your second point, I’m starting to understand what’s going on. With the
   test paragraph block (which I’ve now erased after playing with them), I found
   the DIMENSIONS controls that you’re talking about and they do exactly what you
   say. It seems not everything has these controls. For example, the slider on the
   page (which is still there) doesn’t have them.
 * However, I realised that my whitespace problem wasn’t just solely because of 
   this whitespace around the blocks. Thanks to Firefox’s Inspector, it seems that
   every one of my pages has this line of code:
 * `<main class="is-layout-flow wp-block-group" style="margin-top:var(--wp--preset--
   spacing--50)">`
 * which is adding whitespace between the navigation menu and the body of the page.
   I’m not sure which part of the TwentyTwentyThree theme is adding this. Would 
   you or anyone else reading have any suggestions on how to change this?
 * Thank you!

 * Hi,
 * This sounded like a problem I had last week. Have you enabled the rewrite module
   of Apache2? On an Debian/Ubuntu system, you can look in the /etc/apache2/mods-
   enabled/ directory to see if rewrite.load is there.
 * If not, this shold enable it:
 * sudo a2enmod rewrite
 * This will just add a symbolic link from mods-enabled to mods-available.

 * Dear all,
 * So, I have solved my problem! However, why I was able to solve my problem is 
   unknown…
 * It turns out that the mod_rewrite module of Apache2 was not enabled on the new
   server.
 * However, if that was the case, then both web sites **B1** and **B2** should have
   failed (since both are on the same server and both require mod_rewrite). Why **
   B2** did not require it but **B1** did, even though both had permalinks turned
   on is unknown to me and why I was stuck looking at the WordPress settings of 
   B1, instead of digging through the server configuration.
 * At least it works now; sorry for the trouble!

 * Hi [@praveenrai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/praveenrai/),
 * Thank you for your reply! Unfortunately, that doesn’t help — there isn’t any 
   change. I don’t get any error messages within the interface after I’ve changed
   it — are there any log files that would indicate something hasn’t been done correctly?
 * Does it matter what it is set as? It is currently set at “Month and name”. I’ve
   tried the other values and nothing has changed as well.
 * By the way, I’m using WordPress version 6.1.1 . And I just tried disabling all
   plugins and it still didn’t work. I also switched to another theme (i.e., the
   older “Twenty Twenty” theme) and that didn’t help either.

 * Hi [@thelmachido](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thelmachido/)
 * Thanks a lot for your detailed reply!
 * I’ve been using WordPress off-and-on at various jobs for a few years now, but
   only now has someone suggested that I change the default look a bit.
 * A brief Google search brought me down a rabbit hole of changing theme files, 
   and I’ve been trying that for a couple of days with no success. Of course they
   weren’t for the Twenty Twenty-Two theme specifically.
 * Thanks a lot for your advice, including all the helpful links! I can see from
   your message that I had been going down the wrong path…

 * Hi all,
 * Just to follow-up… I figured out the “mysterious dotted lines” are the lines 
   that are used to separate profiles. For some reason, they’re all bunched up at
   the top since it can’t properly figure out the height of each profile.
 * Perhaps this is related to the div class’s definition? I changed the template
   so that the div class is no longer used. Dotted lines still appear, but they 
   are correctly located between profiles now.
 * I hope this helps someone else — I didn’t change the CSS file, so perhaps this
   is related to WordPress 6.0?

 * Hi,
 * As you can tell from the top of this message, I have marked my problem as being“
   resolved”. Posting your message here won’t get any attention since most people
   will ignore threads that have been marked “Resolved”…I suggest you start a new
   message yourself. (You might want to give more details…the above you’ve given
   is a bit too little to go on.)
