I just installed a new theme. I bought the Salutation theme, installed it, ok. But, whenever I create a page through the menu (pages --> add new), and then I try to publish it and visualize it, the page doesn't exist! It shows a 404 error:
The requested URL /public_html/pagename/ was not found on this server.
I also used the import option to import 'static blocks', which are necessary for the theme. The theme comes with a demo, which has another 50 more pages, but all of them give the same error (404 NOT FOUND)!
My guess is that is a problem with a permalink or something like that (I need to use the BuddyPress plugin)....But help me!
Try going to Settings->Permalinks and saving the settings (changing is not necessary). This should flush your permalinks. If that doesn't work, you should look at your .htaccess file and see what is inside it. If it looks dramatically different from these samples: https://codex.wordpress.org/htaccess try to see what is editing it and you will have to deactivate whatever that is.
Every Page you create in wordpress can only be accessed by creating a Menu alias for that page.
Try This
Login to your dashboard
Goto Appearance >> Menu
Look for the page you created and add it to the Site Menu
Save the changes on the Menu
Goto the Main Site, refresh the site and test your menu
Note that: you can also create other types of menu like "Custom Links" (pointing to the Page or external sites). This helps only when you've changed the permalink of the page or when you know the page id

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 have a client who needs his website edited, he is no longer in contact with the original creator of the site, and it seems that the creator used WordPress to make the website. I've been able to access the page through cPanel but cannot locate the HTML files necessary to do things such as editing text. I have the ability to change images but the owner would like to remove some pages, etc.
There are also tons of PHP files for the WordPress extensions and such, but I know nothing about PHP.
Would I need access to the wp-admin account that designed the page in order to modify the text?
Wordpress stores page content in a database, which is subsequently loaded by a collection of php files. You cannot change the content or looks of a wordpress site by changing html files.
The easiest way to change content is to log in to the wordpress dashboard of the website. If you don't have the password, you can open up phpmyadmin via cpanel, browse to the wordpress database and find the *yourwebsiteinitials*_users table. In there you can choose one of the accounts that should be there and click edit, then edit the user_pass column, and simply type a new password in value and set function to md5. Then you can go to *yourwebaddress*/wp-login.php in your browser and login with the user you just edited and the new password.
Alternatively you can find posts in the _posts table and change content via phpmyadmin, but it's much easier to do this via the dashboard.
There could be a few things you need to be aware of: and I believe you have a good understanding of WordPress. If not you may want to watch some tutorials about it.
Themes: You need to find out if the previous developer develop with custom template and maybe he hard coded all the text inside themes file which located wp-content/themes/{name of the theme}/ {other file}, in this case, if you are not aware of WordPress theme development or how it structure, I suggest you watch some quick tutorial on it and there are tons.
Yes, wp-admin is the place where you can find all the pages listed or posts or whatever content. By editing page, you easily can change the text or delete the page which not require or add a new page.
Just find what is the way it's coded. then you will able to follow
You can log into the WordPress dashboard from the cPanel, following these steps:
Login to cPanel.
Scroll down to the Softaculous Apps Installer section and click on the WordPress icon:
You will be directed to the WordPress Install tab.
Scroll down to the Current Installations section.
Click on the admin icon to login to the WordPress dashboard without a password:
You will then reach the WordPress admin dashboard- voila!
if you want delete page in WORDPRESS you need to login wordpress and delete from pages and if you need delete custom php pages you need to go to cpanel and public html folder your page name or delete from wordpress go to /public_html/wp-content/themes/active theme name/ and find there page name there extenstion of pages is like pagename.php or pagename.html.
So, I have wordpress multisite. I want my users to be able to activate a new theme, and still have their content in place. The problem I am having is, everytime a new theme is activated, each page's template selection is updated to the 'default' template. I would like for example, the Home Page to keep the home-page.php template etc... I have tried naming the templates in all the themes the same.. but that did not work.
Am i clear? or do I need to explain more? Is this possible?
Firstly take backup of all your WordPress data in .xml file
situated at example.com/wp-admin->Tools->Export
you also customize your new theme in custom tab, there you can access all the previous data from older theme
my website is : https://www.edqm.eu/
I need to create a new page, but I want a page without headbar menu.
Is it possible ?
If Yes, How is it possible to do it ?
the website is built with Drupal 7.
I'm not expert in dev and in Drupal.
Thank you for your help.
it should be possible and depending on your site setup, it can be even pretty simple. You have to find the menu block in /admin/structure/blocks and go to configure on the block, there you should see visibility settings and you can filter out your page.
Hope this helps.
Your header menu can be in:
Some block - just go to Structure -> Blocks from admin menu, find that block, click "Configure" link and in "Visibility settings" hide it by some criteria that is most suitable for your case (content type, page path..). If you have hard time finding which block is that use some inspection tool like Firebug or similar, to see block id. But if site is made well, when you are logged in as admin you'll have that "Configure" gear icon when hovering the block.
Menu can be part of some template file, most likely page template (/sites/all/themes/your_theme/templates/page.tpl.php). If that's the case then you can clone the template file and name the clone following the special naming convention so just the page you want to change will use that template. Then you can modify the clone and remove part that generates the menu. Check out this page for theming names suggestions:

I work with wordpress site, where now category page is accessible from two types of links:
http://SITENAME.com/category/CATEGORY-NAME/
http://SITENAME.com/CATEGORY-NAME/
And from right-side menu the links shown as first type, which is wrong.
I need to setup side-menu links to looks like http://SITENAME.com/CATEGORY-NAME/ (without 'category' in every path).
How it can be done? I haven't found such settings neither in admin panel nor in templates...
I would recommend this plugin:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-no-category-base/
The plugin requires no setup or modifying core wordpress files and will not break any links. It will also take care of redirecting your old category links to the new ones.
If you run a multilanguage site with WPML plugin, try this:
