I have a WordPress page with a slug "blog" and I'm trying to delete it and create a new one with the same name, but even when I delete it, it still shows, i cleared the caches and i change the theme because I have a custom theme that i made to make sure it not a theme problem, but it still showing that page
What can I do?
Thanks!
Try these quick steps, I think that will 90% works.
First backup your website, There are a lot of plugins that can do that perfectly with one click.
Then reset your database, also there're a lot of plugins that can do that.
check if the page still exists.
If the problem is fixed then reinstall your theme, and use the backup file you made and you're all set!
Hope that helps!

I have added two custom written functions to my wordpress code.
One of them uses the add_action() and the other uses the add_filter() function of wordpress.
After deploying the code, both functions work as expected, but after some time (I am not sure how long it takes and what causes wordpress to do so) the code just magically disappears from the file.
I am now wondering
Why is this happening?
What can I do so that this won't happen again?
Thanks for your help
Hey you just mentioned that you've added code into /wp-includes/functions.php file. You've used action and filters that's good but your code should be go into active theme's (child theme is the best practice) functions.php file. Files under /wp-admin/ and /wp-includes/ get updated automatically from WP when new update is available (based on settings you have done on your WP setup you can ignore updates as well).
So, your code must be removed by update. Files were overridden by updates. If you have backup copy those code and put it into active theme's functions.php file /wp-content/themes/yourtheme/functions.php is the correct file where you can add the code.
If you have added code into theme's functions.php file make sure you didn't get theme updated otherwise you may lost your work as well that's the reason you can use the Child theme. You can learn how to create child theme here: https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/
Why is this happening?
Most probably because someone updated WordPress to latest version. Before you are going to tell me "but I did not press anything, ever!" please bear in mind, that WordPress updates itself automatically. Especially in the newer versions.
Here is nice article about WordPress automatic updates. It also describes how to turn this off, but I do not recommend doing so.
What can I do so that this won't happen again?
Develop custom WordPress plugin, containing your customizations. Here is nice step by step tutorial
you shouldn't make any changes into wp-includes and wp-admin folders, these folders will update automatically if your wordpress is updated. so if you want to make any changes using hooks and actions you can place the code into your current theme's functions.php. that will work as expected and your code won't disappear.
I was trying to get rid of the Welcome section on the front page of a WooCommerce site I am building. The site is using the Storefront theme.
I thought the way to do it was to delete the Welcome page from the Pages section of WordPress. However, as soon as I did that, the entire front page of the store is gone and it is back to what seems like a regular WordPress.
Using "Create default WooCommerce pages" feature of WooCommerce does not seem to work as it neither fixes the display of the front page nor creates another Welcome page.
I have several questions.
1. What went front?
2. How can I fix it, so the store displays again.
3. How can I get rid of the Welcome section on the front page without blasting the entire page off the site?
Any advice is appreciated.
P.S. I should mention that I originally moved the Welcome page to trash. I then saw that it broke the site. In turn, I attempted to restore it, but it didnt fix the issue. I then deleted the page permanently in hopes of recreating it with the WooCommerce functionality. The latter didnt work.
You need to use the WordPress theme Customizer
under front page you have the option to choose a page your blog as a front page, here you just need to select the page that you deleted and then restored

I was trying to insert an uploaded image on Wordpress site.
For some reason it won't just load the image and won't add my image.
Do you have any idea?
Try adding define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false ); to the bottom of your wp-config.php file (just before the require_once line).
for reference see these links

You should try to deactivate your current theme and temporarily activate twenty eleven (or another standard wordpress theme) and test if it works now.
If it does, you'll have to check the theme files or contact the developer of the theme to fix it.
If it doesn't work, try to deactivate every plug-in one by one. So basically you check the file upload/insert function each time you deactivated one plug-in.
That's how you know if it's a theme/plug-in error or an error that wordpress causes.
Also update wordpress, all plug-ins and themes.
Let me know if you found out what causes it, we might be able to help you further.
First of all, thank you for bothering to read this topic, I feel like this is going to be a long and painful one, as I'm trying for about 7-8 hours now to get what the hell is happening with this plugin.
I am a developer, so I know what I'm doing, and this isn't my first page I did using WordPress.
The problem started when I started reading up on woocommerce's documentations which are widely known as quite poorly documented.
Since I made a custom theme, which I have had before already, I've decided to use the overwrite method as well as the woocommerce.php method for customizing the plugin to fit the site as I'd like it to.
The woocommerce_content(); is customized now, and nicely working as well as the product pages (single product page) which are customized as well, and working.
As soon as I try to access the account features, nothing happens. I've tried adding echoes for debugging purposes to the my-account.php, but it does not echo what I write, so I assume the shortcode cannot load for some reason, because it does not reach the my-account.php page as it should, and it points somewhere else perhaps?
Then I've noticed that when I click the "Add to cart" button, it appends the element with a "View cart" button as well, so me thinking this is working, I left it as it is. For like 5 seconds, because right after a page refresh, or navigating to another page, the content of the cart gets empties, I cannot even see the cart page, nor the login page, nor the create account page, or anything in fact.
Everything is working that is inside my "wp-content\themes\mytheme\woocommerce" folder, but nothing else that is inside my
"wp-content\themes\mytheme\woocommerce\any-subfolder"
The woocommerce system status does not show any error, nor the PHP error log, nor anything else.
I have a VERY long list of "Overrides (WooCommerce):" which I don't want to paste here because of reasons.
The only success when I was able to at least get something out from the plugin, is when I used the wordpress function "do_shortcode();" and added the myaccount or cart shortcode myself to a page, THAT worked, and printed it out, however I'd like to use the original method, so the code won't get too complex for later on.
Every other site is working fine, I'm currently running this on localhost, cookies working, sessions working, I log everything yet there is no error, mod_rewrite working correctly, yet I am stuck.
Looking for a patient gentleman to help me on this painful day...
EDIT:
Added "[woocommerce_my_account]" to the "shop" page which page's file is the "woocommerce.php" has actually loaded up the correct my-account.php from "themeroot/woocommerce/myaccount/my-account.php" It echoes out my debug messages as well, so the shortcodes should be working, perhaps this isn't just a woocommerce related issue?
EDIT2:
After fiddling around a LOT, I've come to understand that the wrapper hook it is supposed to do (div id=content and div id=main) does NOT get hooked in it, perhaps it is just a small problem, since I've removed them with remove_action, and the "Shop" page still displayed properly... I have NO idea what is going on with this plugin, but I don't have the luxury of time to fiddle around with it... This is such a pain...
EDIT3:
The plugin works perfectly on any other basic theme, so there is something up with my custom theme. Even after hours of searching the differences between the default theme (twenty-fifteen) and mine, I have not found the solution.
I have solved the problem... It is of course entirely my fault, the problem is just that woocommerce has so poor documentation, I did not really thought about this.
For anyone out there creating custom themes for WordPress, please note that in order for your page.php to actually use the shortcode of the page you have navigated on, you must print out the content of the page (the_content();).
This was my solution for my mistake that took many many hours...
Im running Wordpress 3.1 and its showing that there are comments (ie: 3 comments) but when you click into the single blog post they don't appear but the comment form appears.
Im not sure whether its a template issue or something's not correct in the functions.php.
I have the multi site function running for multiple blogs.
Anyone else having this problem and or have a solution?
It has to be template issue, make sure that you have comments.php file present in your theme directory. You may want to copy from default theme too. The functions.php has nothing to do with that though.
