Very good you already answered the next few questions I had in mind. So your primary domain and all your subdomains except im are 100% intact? Is that correct? All the websites and all the dashboards are OK except for im.mikediane.com ?

If the answer is yes, next I’ll need to know what all files and folders are present within the root folder of im.mikediane.com ?

Good questions:

Can I build a site online if it doesn’t yet have a domain name registered to it?

Yes, it would have some temporary domain. Let’s say your personal site on TSO is example.com … If TSO supports multiple virtual host via subdomains, you would build the scouts website on TSO under a subdomain, something like scouts.example.com … And the two sites on the one host would be totally separate. Just like you asked earlier almost the same question!

Also you probably want to make sure you can “get hold” of bgscouts.co.uk (the “permanent” domain) … that is, you will need to make sure you are able to login to the registrar account where its nameservers and dns zone are controlled. If not you won’t later be able to connect the permanent domain to whatever site you have built using a temporary domain.

I have seen online others who do, and don’t, recommend MAMP. Is it just personal preference?

As slacie pointed out there are some benefits to using MAMP. Most of those benefits you already will have if you build using a temporary online subdomain.

That being said, there also are some downside to MAMP:
1. You have to build the host, that is, install the “AMP” parts onto your Mac which is the “M” part. Your TSO host already is built by professional host builders.
2. Unless you want your MAMP to be the permanent host (really bad idea), you have to move the site from your MAMP. Yes it can be done, but in most cases it’s an unnecessary complication.

Diane, I’m going to back up and ask you a few basic questions. Sorry if I might have missed the answers up above, this has become an extremely long thread. Also, please refrain from any further modifications while I attempt to glean and organize some essential information.

Please tell me who is your hosting providor?

What do you have for a host control panel? Is it a cPanel? Or is it a Plesk panel? Or is it something else?

To look at folders and files and to edit files, Do you utilize an ftp client like filezilla? Or do you only utilize the “file manager” within your hosting control panel? Or is it both?

Please bear with me, I trust we will sort it out. And I expect I will have another series of questions after you might provide answers to these.

I don’t completely understand the French. In English, database and storage space are two different things. Nonetheless it appears you have exceeded you available storage space. Yes it very well could be a problem. I would suggest you should ask 1&1 …

Celia, You are welcome,

I would be skeptical to attempt any type of “one-button” fix via the host control panel. We don’t yet know who is your host providor nor what are their capabilities.

Warning: require(/home/content/80/12022780/html/wp-includes/session.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/80/12022780/html/wp-settings.php on line 122

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/content/80/12022780/html/wp-includes/session.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php5_3/lib/php’) in /home/content/80/12022780/html/wp-settings.php on line 122

It means some important files are missing.

Do you have a ftp client that can connect to the host?

Do you have a host control panel with a file manager?

Diane, could you describe your folder structure for us?

Yes, good idea by Jackie, to ask about the host directory structure.

Also, please tell us every website address you expect is on the host?

You are welcome, sorry I didn’t think earlier to mention you can probably hide it with css
```
.post-2 a {display: none;}
```
The above code might hide every link in that column, like the facebook image-link.

This below code could is three option to make display all links except the permalink:
```
.post-2 a {display: none;}
.post-2 .post-bodycopy a {display: inline;}
```
or
```
.post-2 a {display: none;}
.post-2 .post-bodycopy a {display: inline-block;}
```
or
```
.post-2 a {display: none;}
.post-2 .post-bodycopy a {display: block;}
```
Good luck

No it is a most unusual theme, What version is yours?

Also you could attempt to contact the theme author.

In the theme php files search for the word ‘permalink’.

First maybe deactivate all plugins and see if the problem goes away

Appears the permalink immediately precedes the facebook graphic. Can you post the php code from near the fb graphic code? Here if it is small, or on pastebin.com if you want to post the whole file. Then post the pastebin url here?

Yes here is the html output;
```
<div id="post-2" class="post post-2 page type-page status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry odd">

    <a title="Permanent Link" rel="bookmark" href="http://scftunion.org/">

        Permalink

    </a>
    <div class="post-bodycopy clearfix"></div>

</div>
```
Appears to me it comes from a plugin or a widget. Do you have a facebook widget?. Are you able to move it around (the problem permalink) by rearranging your widgets?

Seems like you did it correctly. Perhaps some kind of caching is confounding the issue. Please post your site url link and I’ll try it.

Hello Tom,
You probably didn’t do anything wrong. I would suggest try the manual update procedure. Be sure to read the entire document before you attempt:
