In reply to: Trying to migrate with BackupGuard – failing miserablyWell… I’m feeling a bit stupid. Evidently you have to manually click “restore” to start the process. After I did the import it says “success” so I thought I was done. So at least I’ve made progress. I clicked “restore”. And it did not work. It now says “failed”.
The only thing I can think is that I’m using a temporary URL so the site’s links and whatnot wouldn’t function. But the idea (perhaps I’m totally wrong) was to leave the site online until I’ve fully migrated it to the new server, then change the domain and point the nameservers to the new host.

In reply to: Password reset seemingly has no effectWill do. But my understanding is that the plugin has identified our login password was compromised somehow and recommending to change it. The plugin shouldn’t be affecting our ability to change the password. Currently, it seems there is no way to change the login in the profile settings, not trying to do anything with Wordfence other than heed the warning.

In reply to: Post width is too narrowI’m not sure what that means. I’ve tried to fix the errors your link mentioned, but I can’t find the same things.
For instance, the very first one:
<title>Small Miracles</title>
I did “ctrl-F” and searched for all occurences of “title” and “small”. I didn’t come up with this line. That sequences of letters doesn’t seem to appear in the HTML anywhere. So I don’t see how I can fix it. Everywhere it says “title” it’s followed by a “=”, so “title=”, no examples of <title> occur.
I’m thinking I may need to rebuild the post from scratch? I think it may have been copied and pasted from a .pdf document.
Does anyone know how to ask wordpress nicely to make use of it’s available space instead of forcing such a narrow margin?

In reply to: Major permalink problem, pages work, posts don'tDefinitely makes sense, thanks so much for your help!

In reply to: Major permalink problem, pages work, posts don'tOk, I think what you’re saying is that I need to remove the URL from the permalink area just have it say %postname%
However, I have 4 other sites that have this exact setting “hrrp://example.com/post-name” and they all work fine, both pages and posts. This page (which is with Cirtex instead of GoDaddy) was working fine at one point. Now only the posts have a problem.
Using the %postname% without the URL seems to have things working, but I’m baffled as to why this would have worked just fine in the past (and continued to work fine with 4 other websites) then suddently stops working just for posts, and just for one site that’s on a different host…
Either way, thanks for your quick reply and making me take “careful note”

In reply to: Major permalink problem, pages work, posts don'tI’m confused by your response, from the link you provided:
“http://example.com/year/post-name/”
This is exactly what I’m using, except without “year” in there.

In reply to: Is it possible to edit the entire site as HTML?The offending code isn’t there. It’s appearing in between two text widgets. I can’t find the code in the sidebar.php or in the text widgets (both containing HTML).
I’m thinking this is possible an issue with the template I’m using. So there’s no way to view all the code at once like with “view source”?
Is there a plugin maybe that could scan all my php files and identify which one has the code in it? I’ve been through all the files in the editor and none of them match the code.
thanks for the info though, I was not aware that even though you use HTML in WordPress it was superseded by the PHP.
