In reply to: Accidentally Lost Domain and Can’t loginYou need to make changes to your database. To access it you need to log into your Hosting Control Panel. Might be best to contact your Hoster if not sure what to do as they are in the best position to help with this.

In reply to: There has been a critical error on this website.You need to log into your Hosting Control Panel and go to File Mgr. to find error logs, they will tell you what is wrong. Or you can FTP to your account to find them.
Contact your Hoster if not sure how to do these things as they are required knowledge for everyone who has a website.

In reply to: Load on server due to wp databaseJust went to your site and received “Access denied” msg. — for the last 5 minutes or so.
Couple of questions.
Is this a managed server?
Do you have 8 GB or RAM or more?
Any Firewall on the server?
Do you have Indexes turned off in the .htaccess file or at server level?There are a few changes to your site .htaccess file that can be done, or at the server level, to help the situation.
And a few plugins I can recommend that will help are:
BBQ by Jeff Starr
Block Bad Bots by Jeff Starr
Limit Login Attempts Reloaded by Limit Login Attempts ReloadedYou definitely want to get rid the CloudFlare blocking as blocking everyone is not the way to go.

In reply to: Multisite Non-WWW to WWWGlad to hear you worked it out. You can now mark this thread as Resolved.
BTW, an even easier method is Admin -> Settings -> General
There you can change the URL and other main settings, without having to worry about using phpMyAdmin.

In reply to: 500 Internal Server ErrorA 500 error could also mean you are trying to do something the server firewall thinks is bad. Talk to your Hoster about this and they can check their error logs as well.

In reply to: not able to improve speed data performanceUnfortunately, your site has a lot of problems that, even you were given advice on how to correct, you would not know how to do it. You will need to learn how to choose Themes & Plugins, between those that are good and those that are not, along with making changes to the .htaccess file. This is something everyone who has website needs to learn so it is time well spent.
One thing you can ask your Hoster to do is to enable gzip. Your Hoster will know what ‘gzip’ means and it will very much speed up your website.
To solve some things quickly, it might be worth it to hire someone but only for a few things. (ie. setup caching, fix Theme errors, etc.)

In reply to: A lot of 404 errors404 errors are usually for one of two reasons.
1. There is a link on your own site pointing to an invalid page on your site.
2. The page was indexed by a Search Engine, as being on your site or someone else’s.
3. Bots are hitting your site looking for what they want, regardless of whether it is actually there.
A broken link checker gets to the bottom of #1 and helps to determine what to do as those are the ones that will hurt your SEO.
Redirecting invalid links is just a part of site maintenance. Note that one needs to be aware that Bots will always be hitting your site and redirecting for everything they are looking for is a waste of time. Focus on the large number of repeating 404’s — say 4 or more per day.
And if all is good, please remember to mark this thread as Resolved. 🙂
You both seem to be in a situation where the images may or may not be in the Media Library but they are not in the database; as connected to any post or page.
You both might benefit from using this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/media-sync/It will connect items in the Media Library back into the database. It allows for doing a ‘dry run’ so you can see what will happen without making any changes. If you like the changes that will be made, then disable ‘dry run’ and run the plugin again. Do one image first, then load the page where the missing image is supposed to be, to see what happened.
@jdembowski We will have to agree to disagree.
Because you just don’t.
Do not be advocating lax security as an OK thing to do. Next thing you know, people will posting things like it’s OK to provide half the login credentials in public forums, because it’s only half of what is needed to hack into an account/site. 😉
Cannot find it at the moment but WordPress.org has a link somewhere stating that a post can be editted by a Moderator for security reasons: such as an account path being inadvertently posted.
@gracefaith4all – you should never post your account path in any public post.
You only need to post something like:
PHP Deprecated: attribute_escape is deprecated since version 2.8.0! Use esc_attr() instead. in /wp-includes/functions.php on line 4861Hopefully a Moderator of this Forum will remove the security part from your post. Search Engines will index Forum/Post pages like this one and no need for everyone to know information they shouldn’t.
Also, talk with your Hoster about turning Indexing OFF, which any good Hoster does by default anyway. They should also be able to help with seeing/changing your .htaccess file.

In reply to: Migrating both Domain and Sub Domains to my new hostIf it works for you then you can marked this thread as Resolved. 🙂

In reply to: A lot of 404 errorsErrors disappear when missing/removed pages are redirected to a valid page. Should be a page stating something like “What you were looking for is gone.” rather than a 404 page. This page should also use a: rel=”nodindex” attribute.

In reply to: Increase font size in WordPress post and page editor..If using Windows PC use CTL + (+ KEY) – each press of the + KEY makes the font a bit larger. To restore to default use CTL + (0 KEY)
I’ve noticed the Browser remember the font setting for that page although that might be dependent on the Browser or OS–I’m using Windows10.
@sarahc93 – site only shows one page and image shows just fine — nothing else to see?
—————————————-
@gracefaith4all – you should start your own thread as you have much bigger problems.
1. No images have been uploaded.
2. Your site is showing index listings which is bad.
ie. https://wingsofgracereadings.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/Fix #2 problems first by adding this line at the very top of your public_html/.htaccess file
Options -IndexingFix #1 problem by uploading images.
