In reply to: New Install: Permalinks Break Posts/Pages – Tried The Easy FixesHave you verified mod_rewrite is enable within the host apache configuration?
Either that, or you’ll need to satisfy some other of the conditions listed in https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#mod_rewrite:_.22Pretty_Permalinks.22
Please see http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_user_logged_in … This is the code (function) that checks whether the visitor is logged in.
You also might need to understand https://codex.wordpress.org/Stepping_Into_Templates … So you will know where to put the above function and how to create the two different pages.

In reply to: Can I have more than one 'posts' venue?Great question!
It’s likely going to require some php code modification. In theory, you can:
- limit the existing posts page to display only the more recent posts.
- create a second posts page (via a new page template) to display the older posts
To provide further assistance it will be helpful to have a link to your site and also to know what theme you utilze.

In reply to: Oflline WP EditingIf I’m reading your question correctly, “offline editing” as you describe it simply is not possible. The site is online, right? … So you also must be “online” to view or modify.
There are some ways to compose and save content offline, but it will not be at all the same as editing online.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Edit footer size and colorRegarding your “offline mode” question: WordPress “drafts” and “previews” provide a mechanism to check your work before you publish it.
Regarding your CSS and footer (theme) questions: Try consult the theme documentation or contact the theme author.

In reply to: Remove comments on mobileMost easily, you may hide them using a CSS media query. For example something like:
@media screen and (max-width: 480px) {
.comments {
display: none;
}
}
Of course, you’ll need to identify the appropriate selector, and write it in place of where I wrote .comments in the code block.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: accidently changed url to a site that already exits now cant login!For file editing, use either a ftp client like filezilla or the webhost’s file manager.
The incorrect urls in functions.php are overriding the corrections you make directly in database via phpMyAdmin.
There likely will be a functions.php file for every installed theme, so make sure you find the right one. Correcting the urls there likely will solve your problem. That is, until you might switch themes.
Corrections made directly in the database are “more permanent”, but still might get modified incorrectly via the dashboard Settings > General.
Corrections made within wp-config.php are “most permanent” in that typically they cannot be modified via the dashboard.

In reply to: Image Border & IE issuesHow about this CSS if the image is clickable (within a link) ?
a {outline:none; border:none;}
or
a:link {outline:none; border:none;}
or
a:active {outline:none; border:none;}Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Thumbnail sizeTo “insert” multiple images you can try:
- open the “Insert Media” > “Upload Files” screen
- in a second window, select multiple images from within a folder on your local machine and then drag-n-drop them to the first window
For galleries:
Within the gallery creation screen, it might be possible to select a different larger thumbnail size.To make the last image another still different size, you’ll likely have to insert it separately from the gallery. In this case it won’t be a thumbnail, just an image inserted after the gallery.

In reply to: Image Border & IE issuesHave you tried CSS? Maybe something like:

In reply to: Javascript in page body?if you need the inline JS on only some of the “pages” generated by a template, you can try write the conditional in the JS …
Directory plugins (and directory themes), that’s now a whole new story.
Good luck!
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Javascript in page body?More plugins => more http requests !
It is possible to utilize (simple) JS inline, just not the preferred nor recommended WordPress method. And typically you have to write it in a template file, not the “content editor”.
In your case, find the template that calls
<?php the_content(); ?>
and try your JS immediately after that.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Dashboard link only refreshes the wp-admin pageHere’s a bit more I wrote before Bill posted last…
If there’s any possibility they want to keep any of the content, themes, or plugins, be sure to keep the /wp-content folder intact.
To continue using the existing site’s database, be sure to keep the wp-config.php file.
Sometimes it’s important to keep a .htaccess file intact. in your case there may be more than one and probably only one is relevant, so keep them all on the side just in case.
Other than those caveats, it is usually safe to rebuild/replace all other WordPress core files and folders as described under “Manual Update” https://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Thumbnail sizeIf you want not a gallery format, I would suggest not to click “create a gallery”. Instead, it is possible simply to “AddMedia > SelectThePhotos > Insert” them.
