Alrighty then!
I couldn't clear the database, so I deleted it and created a new one with a different name. I inserted this new database name into the wp-config. file within the spellandsound.com/english directory and then went to url: english.spellandsound.com where I was asked to complete the install.
Yeah!!!!!
I backed up my text in a text editor and I'll have to re-do a few fiddly pages, but everything is where it should be, without having to rewrite my .htaccess file.
You're a genius!
I plan on creating a few more sub-domains and let me tell you this....
I won't be making these mistakes again!
By the way, I checked out your site and it looks quite interesting. I've bookmarked it for future reference (if I can ever get past the beginners stage).
Thanks again.
janetskijMemberI used a different database for the english set up (not just table prefix of the main data base) and I don't know how you can find out "what folder is your cPanel pointing english.spellandsound.com to?"
I had queried with my host, the placement of the directory folder within my files specifically for the subdomain and they said it's in the right place.
I'm thinking I might wipe the WP files/folders from the english directory and try a re-install. The database for the subdomain is already in place. I'm hoping things will set up okay.
What do you think? reckon it'll work?
janetskijMemberIt all seems simple when you explain it, but somehow I've got myself in another mess!
Okay, I tried another install of WP into the english folder and nothing changed. I didn't get the install screen for english.spellandsound.com so I think it's still configured to the old setting spellandsound.com/english
but I changed the phpMyAdmin settings as you suggested and added the subdomain to cloudflare so now the site is visible but the one menu item doesn't work. It says there is an internal server error (configuration issue I'm guessing) but I can't find out what the problem is yet until my error logs update.
I can log into english.spellandsound.com and access the dashboard but pages other than home page are returning an Internal server error here even though the permalinks has changed to the right url.
Is this a tables issue?
And thinking about it, I didn't get rid of the WP already installed in spellandsound.com/english before I did the new install which has to go into the same folder. This probably caused the first issue but I don't know.
Should I delete the install and start again?
I'm pulling my hair out here. Please help.
janetskijMemberYup, okay, starting to realise how big of an idiot I am...
I think I put the new WP install into spellandsound.com/english/ so no wonder that what WP is configured to!
However, I still have a couple of questions;
- I recently (3 days ago) connected to Cloudflare on my mainsite and changed my nameservers, so how would this effect any subsequent WP install and my subdomain for that fact? I have spent days trawling through cloudflare knowledge-base articles and I still don't really understand how it works!
- I have already put some pages on the subdomain and about 400 small audio files. I set up a separate database for the new subdomain and wondered if I could use the same database for a new install if the WP database table prefix remains the same in wp-config. file, therefore keeping all of my pages in tact?
- Would it be easier to just change the .htaccess file and if so which file (in subdomain folder or root?) and what should it say?
I really appreciate the help, as you can see, I don't find any of this intuitive.
janetskijMemberYou're right, I just tried http://new.mysite.com and didn't work.
My host said that WP was not configured to show my subdomain as the URL above because WP doesn't see
new.mysite.com as the same as
mysite.com/newthis is what they wrote;
The first set of rewrite rules in the file spellandsound/www/english/.htaccess is using /english/ as the RewriteBase. Because the document root for the sub-domain is spellandsound/www/english/, it'll redirect to spellandsound/www/english/english/, which causes a loop. This suggests to me that you initially configured WordPress for spellandsound.com/english/. You'll need to correct the WordPress settings.How do I configure WP to do this?
Like I mentioned earlier, I tried to change how the site will appear in the address bar from within the WP dashboard but that put me on a loop.
Do I need to do something with wp-config file?
Thanks for your help.
janetskijMemberSorry for the long delay,
I'm definitely going to give it a go. My site needs a bit of bling!
Thank you very much for your help. I'll have to check out your site.
janetskijMemberThanks for that, it looks good. The only issue might be displaying some static, written content under the widgetised area.
I kindda want the best of both worlds....
Do you know how to manage both?
janetskijMemberHi
Thank you both for your time on this matter. It had been driving me crazy!
Dev,
I was able to use both pieces of code which worked - Brilliant! I have no idea why the remove_action for the footer function didn't work, but the add_filter did and my favicon is present.RobG,
Thank you for persevering with me, I could imagine its an arduous journey with beginners.I haven't used a forum before, so I am going to attempt to submit this last post and hit the "resolved" button. If you see the thread still open, could you please let me know.
CheersjanetskijMemberThanks for checking. I'm actually getting really confused.
I can see the wordpress
"Copyright © 2013 · Prose Theme on Genesis Framework · WordPress · Log in"
information at the bottom of each page.
I don't want it there for others to see. Can others see it?I know I have changed my favicon to the red [s] but I still see the genesis G. Is this footer-text issue similar?
I've just taken the Coming Soon landing page down and submitted my xml sitemap, is this related in any way?
janetskijMemberHi
Thanks for tip but I had already done it and placed it in the custom code section in Prose and it worked in the area below the footer widgets, not in the area I wanted it to, which is further down.Is it a Prose thing? It's like I can't "unhook" the credits even though I have tried a number of ways using the code snippets, like the one you suggested above.
Any ideas?
The credit text appears to be in the genesis_after hook area but when using the genesis simple hooks plug in, I can't find a way to unhook it. When I add any information such as return to top shortcode, the shortcode is inserted and works but the original text with wordpress etc is still there. It just moves over a bit.
What do you think?
janetskijMemberHi,
I've disabled the "coming soon" plug in so you should be able to see what I mean. Sorry about the late reply. -
