In reply to: 404 Not FoundIt is possible it is permissions-related, but I advise checking that mod_rewrite is enabled in your Apache configuration (if you’re using Apache). To test this, you can switch to the default permalinks. If the pages and posts show up with the default permalinks, then it is likely that your web server software is having trouble rewriting the URLs.

In reply to: Login fails once when Domain URL is without WWWThat is certainly strange. You may want to check your Site URL, to see how it was configured. In the long run, if you don’t want to use
wwwyou can change the Site URL. If you get stuck and can’t find a solution, you can always replace core files as a last result.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to move wordpress to real siteYou will just need to move a few files and edit your configuration. WordPress provides some excellent documentation here regarding changing domains and/or URLs. I advise making sure you have a backup of your site before starting the move. Just in case.

In reply to: Can’t delete themeI’m not totally sure this would make a difference, but I’m curious if it is a third party theme or a default WordPress theme. If WP continues to give you a hard time, you can always remove the theme folder/directory manually through FTP or on the command line (whichever you’re more comfortable with). You should find the theme directory following this directory path:

In reply to: How to correctly change URL? Redirect old links to the new onesThere is no other way I could find other than to redirect each link individually. That way, if anyone had a page bookmarked, or one of the old links is referenced elsewhere, you can be sure that there will be a redirect to the new URL. It would be nice if there were a faster way, but individual redirects seem to be the safest bet.
It would look like this in your .htaccess file:

In reply to: Defining CategoriesThat is very interesting. However, I wasn’t able to replicate the issue. When I added the category
Space, 2015it worked fine and made the slugspace-2015. Are you using the latest version of WordPress? Are you certain you’re not adding tags?Forum: Themes and Templates

In reply to: How do I make background image visible beween header and footer?Hello, glahnrd. I’m working on a BoldGrid support article that addresses these design features. It should be helpful to you. I expect the article will be published later today, and I will provide a link to it in this thread. Thanks for your question!
You can try resetting permalinks. Switch to plain style, save the change, see if that fixes the issues, then you can switch back to your preferred structure.

In reply to: From Genesis to Underscore…?From working with Underscores briefly, I thought it was very comprehensive. It gives you everything you need. But if you want to get a better sense of how the WordPress templates work together to make a theme, I suggest building a basic theme from scratch just as an exercise, and then you may have an easier time seeing what the code in Underscores is doing.

In reply to: wp-admin screen white/cannot accessThere could be a PHP error. Did you make any code changes in the core files? You can try enabling error logging to see if you can get more information.
