It doesn’t matter who bought the theme or who owns the site. It’s still a premium/paid theme not supported here. We don’t have access to the themes, and commercial theme companies are not alllowed to support their products here.

Look at https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=social

Why do you want to do that? What is the “existing” database used for?

“If you are the owner of this website, please contact Technical Support as soon as possible” means contact your webhost. That error has nothing to do with WordPress.

Wouldn’t the define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true); direct all to load in https:// Changing the URL in setting to https:// should have done same.

Absolutely not.

We’re talking about the database and/or hardcoded links in theme files. I’ve dealt with this more times than I can remember.

1) Use the developer tools in Firefox (or Firebug) or Chrome or Safari or IE to see the errors with specific images.

2) You may need to change URLs of media items in the post/page content to https. Search RegEx is a good plugin to be able to search and replace (optionally with grep) through all posts, pages, excerpts, comments, titles and meta. And, interconnectit.com WordPress Serialized PHP Search Replace Tool can be used to find/replace in the entire database, i.e. metadata, GUIDs and widget content, etc.

3) You may need to change to a relative path for images in CSS files, i.e. background-image: url(http://example.com/themes/wp-content/theme/images/image.jpg) to background-image: url(images/image.jpg)

4) You may need to remove the http from absolute paths in php theme files, i.e. change 'http://example.com/image.jpg' to '//example.com/image.jpg'; that will allow your resources to default to https.

@labyrinthman: Sorry, you’re using a premium/paid theme. It’s best to go to the support site where you bought the theme http://www.wpexplorer.com for help with customizations and issues. You paid for support when you bought the theme, so you should contact the people who sold you the theme.

These forums are for free themes available in the WordPress theme directory at http://wordpress.org/themes/. See http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products

You need to determine if your site has been hacked. Carefully follow FAQ My site was hacked – WordPress Codex.

Then take a look at the recommended security measures in Hardening WordPress – WordPress Codex and Brute Force Attacks – WordPress Codex

If you can’t do the work yourself, consider looking for a reputable person on http://jobs.wordpress.net/ or http://directory.codepoet.com or http://upwork.com

(FYI, it’s not a good idea to respond to work offers from random forum users who have read about your issues.)

Sure, you can use parts of WordPress to edit the site; see backpress.org. But it’s much more work and complexity to do it that way than to use WordPress as a whole.

WordPress works with a theme for the designed front-end, a backend – core WordPress and plugins – for editing and management. Use an existing WordPress theme (or build one) for the design and existing plugins to handle the registration and payment systems; that is the safest and easiest way to do things.

I actually created a new site on a development server in wordpress, but the client said that the security configuration

So you must be using a theme now for development.

And what do you mean by security configuration? The payment gateway? If that is PHP, you need to integrate that into the theme – perfectly possible. Or use existing plugins for that payment gateway and the registration system.
