In reply to: [SKT White] Social Icons ProGreetings,
We are usually not able to support commercial “pro version” themes. Have you tried contacting the theme author SKTThemes?
Good Luck

In reply to: menu not visibleYou are welcome:
I see your mobile menu (a little black square with three white stripes) correctly at screen width less than about 768px. And your normal menu at greater then about 800px. Do you see the mobile menu?
You probably should revert whatever you did with code. the code you used was for theme TwentyThirteen. And your theme appears to be based on TwentyEleven.
Good Luck

For beginners, I think custom css plugins are easier than child themesForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Folder structure under the 'Media Library'Yes the grid view of the media library is not well organised. Have you tried the other view?, the list view? And then try sorting the list by author?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Folder structure under the 'Media Library'As far as I know, there rarely is need for any folders within the media library. And like i wrote above WordPress takes care of the /wp-content/uploads/ folder structure all by itself. Think of these upload folders as under or behind the media library. Do you understand the difference?

In general, you’ll need to learn how to analyze existing css code using browser developer tools.
Browser developer tools you can use find what css code is in place and which files it comes from.
It does not mean these are the files you edit.
From post 4 of this topic 1 day ago I wrote:custom css is not edited css, it is additional css.
Use a custom css feature to implement additional css which will override existing css.

Yes it is possible to modify any of the fonts. In general, you’ll need to learn how to analyze existing css code using browser developer tools. and how to write new custom css code that will take precedence over the existing code. Here is a reference: https://codex.wordpress.org/CSS#CSS_Resources
Browser Developer Tools are inside Firefox and Chrome and perhaps other browsers as well.

In reply to: /wp-includes/rewrite.php on line 363You are welcome,
What plugins had you removed?
Have you tried re-installing and reactivating them? If the error is gone it would mean the plugin removal was not complete or clean enough, right?
Did the plugins activation write to the .htaccess file? And the deactivation not revert it?

In reply to: Changing directory now cannot get into adminFrom post 36 of this topic 3 days ago:
The /wp-login.php aka /wp-admin (dashboard) is a much more complex url than the / (public facing website).
In other words, when logging in to dashboard there are authentication methods and sometimes various internal core redirects in place, which are not present when simply viewing the site.
For these reasons I believe it is easier if not also important first to troubleshoot and repair the / url public facing site. Further, I expect when the public facing site is repaired, the dashboard login also will have become repaired with no additional effort.
In other words, don’t even bother try to log in when it’s not possible to view the site: http://im.mikediane.com/ … Does this make sense?
From post 1 of this topic 5 days ago:
My install is at: im.mikediane.com/wp
I had changed the site address on the General panel.Do you think perhaps it makes sense to attempt return your site to its last known good working state?

In reply to: Changing directory now cannot get into adminFrom the last previous reference: http://www.howtospoter.com/web-20/wordpress/wordpress-guide-dissection-of-file-structure
1. WordPress Installation Path
Point one on the image above it is simply a location of ALL your WordPress blog files on your host.
From the very first reference provided by @songdogtech: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL
On the Settings->General screen in a single site installation of WordPress, there are two fields named “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)”. They are important settings, since they control where WordPress thinks your site is located. They control the display of the URL in the admin section of your page, as well as the front end, and are used throughout the WordPress code.
The “Site Address (URL)” setting is the address you want people to type in their browser to reach your WordPress blog.
The “WordPress Address (URL)” setting is the address where your WordPress core files reside.Note: Both settings should include the http:// part and should not have a slash “/” at the end.
***************
Edit functions.php
If you have access to the site via FTP, then this method will help you quickly get a site back up and running, if you changed those values incorrectly.
1. FTP to the site, and get a copy of the active theme’s functions.php file. You’re going to edit it in a simple text editor and upload it back to the site.
2. Add these two lines to the file, immediately after the initial “<?php” line.
update_option(‘siteurl’,’http://example.com’);
update_option(‘home’,’http://example.com’);Use your own URL instead of example.com, obviously.
3. Upload the file back to your site, in the same location. FileZilla offers a handy “edit file” function to do all of the above rapidly; if you can use that, do so.
4. Load the login or admin page a couple of times. The site should come back up.
Important! Do not leave those lines in the functions.php file. Remove them after the site is up and running again.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Changing directory now cannot get into adminHere’s a pretty good reference: http://www.howtospoter.com/web-20/wordpress/wordpress-guide-dissection-of-file-structure … Please study it carefully. And note it is seven years old and applies to an older version.
I’m off to bed, will check in the morning. And thinking a different tack is in order. Instead of me telling you what to do, why don’t you tell all of us what you think you should do?

In reply to: Change post fonts to match websiteHard to say if that’s it… custom css is not edited css, it is additional css.
You could try the one in jetpack plugin

Ready to work some right now?, I’ll be around for another 10-15 minutes, otherwise lets plan for roughly 24 hours from now.
