In reply to: Bulk Actions Move to Trash H E L PI don’t think there is a move to trash for images, just delete permanently, which is probably what’s happened. Do you have a backup of your site?

In reply to: Thumbnails becoming squashed imagesDefinitely. A hard crop has been applied now. Some of the images have been cropped top/bottom but like you say, it looks better now.

In reply to: I want to edit my theme (change backgrounds, colours etc)The site uses a Yoo theme called Steam. It appears to come with quite a comprehensive and custom admin interface to which people here have no access. It might be appropriate for you to go look at the Yoo Themes site to see if you can establish how to best go about changing your site.

In reply to: Index page is blankCan you visit your site via FTP and delete/disable the redirection plugin?
Also, you shouldn’t really start an identical thread less than a day after the original.

In reply to: Failure to upload fb2 filesAdd this, preferably in a functionality plugin, if not your theme’s functions.php file:
add_filter('upload_mimes','custom_mime_types'); function custom_mime_types($mimes){ return array_merge($mimes,array ( 'fb2' => 'application/x-fictionbook+xml' )); }Untested but I think it will work. Make sure you have FTP or better access to your site in case of typos or bad copy/paste, otherwise the sky may fall on your head.

In reply to: Cannot access wp-admin with new domainSince it’s the same site, you can just access wp-admin via the old domain. I think you’re currently using domain forwarding provided by your host. You’d probably be better off using a CNAME.

In reply to: Thumbnails becoming squashed imagesWere these images present before the current theme was activated? If so it may be appropriate to regenerate the thumbnails. The squished ones are simply large images being soft cropped to display at the defined image sizes and the aspect ratio doesn’t match.

In reply to: Modified wp-config.php now blog won't workDid you make a backup of the file before editing it? Do you have a recent backup of your complete site? If so, simply replace the corrupted wp-config.php with your backed up one.
If not, do you know your database host, name, user and password. If so, delete wp-config.php (the required details may actually be in that file). Replace it with wp-config-sample.php from a freshly downloaded WordPress archive and rename it to wp-config.php. Upload to your site and simply visit your site in a browser. Fill in the details, WordPress will tell you the site is already installed but will start to work again. Hopefully 😉

In reply to: How to add a line of text under the header title in Genesis themeYour commercial theme isn’t supported in these forums, we can’t see the code to advise you. The good news is that your theme vendors StudioPress have their own forums here:

In reply to: Formatting photos and text on a pageSwitch to the text editor if you’re not there already. Each paragraph starts like this:
<p style="text-align: justify;">Change it to this:
<p style="text-align: justify; clear: both;">To be honest it’s a bit of a kludgy way of doing things but it’ll work. You may want to explore adding CSS rules to your theme’s stylesheet.
