In reply to: internal server errorBasic FTP is really easy. It’s just like using a two pane file manager on your local computer. FileZilla is a simple to use cross-platform FTP client and there’s a guide to its use here:

Once you’ve connected to your site, navigate to the file that you edited and clean up your mistake. Right-click and edit may work, otherwise download, edit, then re-upload.

In reply to: Fatal error: Allowed Memory Size Exhausted AGAINIf you’ve returned the site to an almost vanilla installation and the problem persists, I’d be checking to see if the WordPress core files were corrupted, missing, or in the worse case, compromised.
To be frank though, if this has happened to you again, maybe you should consider dumping shared hosting. I too have a shared hosting account and it costs me less than a pint of beer and bag of crisps a month. However, I use it to test things, break things and experiment. I don’t run any publicly facing sites there and wouldn’t dream of putting a client or business on it.
You can get a decent VPS dirt cheap these days and I consider that kind of hosting to be entry level. Sure, there’s a learning curve but you soon get the hang of things.

In reply to: How to Properly Add 2nd domainThis is what I prefer:
webroot/ domain_one/public_html/ domain_two/public_html/ domain_three/public_html/Then I configure my hosting so that each domain’s root is defined as above. Each domain is then isolated from the next.
It doesn’t matter when you create the databases because each wp-config.php will simply point to its database on the same (local)host.
If you don’t want to interfere with the existing domain that sits in the webroot, no matter, just create and configure additional domains as and when you require. You could always add a directory called extra_sites/ and place additional domains in there:
webroot (domain_one)/wp-content/ (domain_one)/wp-admin/ etc etc /extra_sites/domain_two /extra_sites/domain_three etc etcForum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Hueman theme page titles on pageYes.
Create a child theme and then inside the child theme directory create a functions.php file.
Once done, put this function in the file:
function alx_page_title() { global $post; $heading = get_post_meta($post->ID,'_heading',true); $subheading = get_post_meta($post->ID,'_subheading',true); $title = $heading?$heading:the_title(); if($subheading) { $title = $title.' <span>'.$subheading.'</span>'; } return $title; }That’s the default Hueman function for creating page titles. Change to your own preference, the child theme function will take priority over the parent version.

In reply to: loading Images when bespoke template is in placeYour question is impossible to answer. You need to include as much information as possible.

In reply to: missing thumbnails in video sitePeople visit your website, they see stuff, that’s the front end. You log into WordPress and you see administration stuff, that’s the back end.

In reply to: missing thumbnails in video siteYou looked at the back end of WordPress, not the database. Install that plugin I linked to, get it to search for your old URL and replace with your new one.
I forgot to mention previously. Before doing anything with your database, back it up. Plenty of plugins available to that.

In reply to: Gravity Forms and SMTPIf two out of three people are receiving the emails, the problem isn’t a WordPress one. It’s a possiblity that the oasysic.com emails aren’t actually leaving the server and are perhaps being delivered to local user accounts.
You need to read the server mail logs to see what’s actually happening.
