 * Thank you for the suggestion!
 * Sadly I’m about to close the plugin here on WordPress.org in light of the #wpdrama
   situation. If there’s any future development of this plugin, it will be on my
   GitHub page: [https://github.com/versluis/Cookies](https://github.com/versluis/Cookies)

 * Hi, thanks for the suggestion!
 * Technically the plugin works fine with 6.2 (and likely above), however some features
   that WordPress have introduced (like style variations) are currently not supported.
   If that’s OK for you, go ahead and use the plugin as is.
 * Sadly I no longer have the time to keep up with WordPress development, and as
   such I won’t be able to add new features, hence it’s not marked as “compatible
   with 6.2”.
 * Hope this helps!

 * Hi Elurie,
 * thanks for bringing this to my attention. Style variations are a new feature 
   I haven’t fully grasped yet, so for now they’re not supported I’m afraid. If 
   I can figure out a way to make it happen, I’ll certainly add it in an update (
   no promises though).
 * All the best!

 * Hi Gobinda,
 * thank you for your kind words 🙂
 * While I currently don’t have plans to add new features to the plugin, I can confirm
   it works fine with the latest version of WordPress (6.0.1 at the time if writing).
   I’ve neglected to mark it as compatible, but have just added the correct flag
   so it should come up as “working fine”.
 * Thanks for the nugde! Time isn’t what it used to be…
 * All the best from Miami Beach!

 * Hi acontino, sorry for the late reply – I should check in here more often.
 * The way child themes work is that they only override the functionality you’ve
   provided, but all other theme functionality is executed on the parent theme. 
   Hence, when that’s updated, everything that’s not explicitly overwritten by your
   child theme will use the updated code. There’s no need to create a new child 
   theme, all you need to do is update the parent theme (at least in 99.9% of all
   cases).

 * You can copy the footer.php file from your parent theme directly into your child
   theme’s folder, either via FTP or with a file manager provided by your hosting
   company (there’s no way to do this from within WordPress). Once you’ve copied
   the file over, it will override the parent theme, including any amendments you’re
   making there.
 * So sorry for the late reply, I hardly ever come to these forums (I don’t know
   how to set alerts for new topics in this category).

 * Looks like your website is up and running again, and looking great too! The only
   thing I can see is that one of the widgets is requesting your Google API key,
   but that appears to be unrelated to any 500 errors.

 * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uploading-images-resizing-not-working-correctly/#post-7428647)
 * Hi roelgellings,
 * WordPress only resizes images if the sizes set under Settings – Media are smaller
   than the original you’re uploading. For example, if you’re uploading a 600×800
   image, and the smallest size is already set to 900×900, then WordPress won’t 
   resize the original and display it as is instead. In other words, WordPress will
   only ever downscale an image, but never upscale one.
 * When you change the size values in Settings – Media, WordPress will not automatically
   resize previously uploaded images. But there’s a handy plugin for that, which
   will derive new resized versions from each original upload: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/)
 * Hope this helps!

 * Hi korkiley,
 * Good call looking at the log file! This doesn’t look like a WordPress problem
   to me. I suspect there’s something wrong with Bluehost’s server. The libraries
   referenced in the log file are not bundled with WordPress, but instead with the
   web server and PHP installation they’re using to host your site.

 * Hi gsiebeprt,
 * it can happen to the best of us 🙂 It’s a relatively easy fix, if you’re comfortable
   editing the WordPress tables directly. Your hosting provider usually gives you
   access to phpMyAdmin, a web-based tool that lets you change entries in the MySQL
   database.
 * Take a look at two values in the wp_options table: home and siteurl. Change them
   both to your domain (including the http:// prefix) and try to access your site
   again. Depending on your host, the options table may have a different prefix (
   something other than wp_).
 * Let me know if you need anything else, I know this can be an intimidating task
   and some of the lingo associated with MySQL can sound a bit complicated.
