Log into your hosting provider account and access your cpanel. Then you want to click on the phpMyAdmin icon. Once you are in, click on the name of your database and once there you will see a list of tabs across the top. Choose the SQL tab and use the below query to find and replace your amazon phrases: * UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = REPLACE ( post_content, ‘text to find here’,‘ text to replace here’); * Be advised that messing with your database directly can seriously mess up your website if done incorrectly so please do this with caution. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to redirect my wordpress blog from http:// to secure site ie. https://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-redirect-my-wordpress-blog-from-http-to-secure-site-ie-https/) * [Wayne McWilliams](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpdevsolutions/) * (@wpdevsolutions) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-redirect-my-wordpress-blog-from-http-to-secure-site-ie-https/#post-5095444) * Hello nihal026, * I know you do not want to mess with your htaccess file but the best way to accomplish what you are asking is to mess with it. I would recommend just opening the file, scroll all the way to the bottom and then paste in the following code: * RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule (.*) [https://%](https://%){ HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} * Save and exit…then test it out. Hope that helps! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to add pagination on my wordpress blog?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-add-pagination-on-my-wordpress-blog/) * [Wayne McWilliams](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpdevsolutions/) * (@wpdevsolutions) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-add-pagination-on-my-wordpress-blog/#post-5095442) * My first suggestion would be to look for a WordPress plugin that adds pagination. Especially if you do not want to touch any code. Google search “WordPress pagination plugins”. * Forum: [Hacks](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/hacks/) In reply to: [pass variables in wordpress](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pass-variables-in-wordpress/) * [Wayne McWilliams](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpdevsolutions/) * (@wpdevsolutions) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pass-variables-in-wordpress/#post-5094380) * Hello Hatul666, * The get_sidebar(); only accepts one parameter and that is the name parameter which can be found [here on the codex](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_sidebar). * Here is an example: * Create a new file within your root folder and name it sidebar-left.php. Enter the HTML/CSS/PHP that you need to display the sidebar the way you need it to look. Then on the pages you want to display this sidebar you will simply call get_sidebar(‘left’); The ‘left’ corresponds with the -left.php on the file name. * Hopefully that helps you out…if not I am happy to help further. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Getting started with masonry layout?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-started-with-masonry-layout/) * [Wayne McWilliams](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpdevsolutions/) * (@wpdevsolutions) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-started-with-masonry-layout/#post-5094856) * Hello amca01, * If you were building a theme from scratch I could show you how to implement masonry but if you don’t want to code anything I would say to look up the documentation for the plugins or themes that you discussed above. If you decide to try coding it yourself, I would be happy to help you. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Better Images In My Blog](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/better-images-in-my-blog/) * [Wayne McWilliams](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpdevsolutions/) * (@wpdevsolutions) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/better-images-in-my-blog/#post-5095275) * Hello electrophile888, * Using images on the web is a difficult and complicated process. The best advice I would give you is to use Flickr and search images that are under the Creative Commons license. Make sure to follow their rules when using any photos. Most of the time it is just giving the artist’s name or Flickr screen name at the photo’s title. Just Google search Creative Commons and see what you find. * Hope that helps a bit.
