Uneditable text on a WordPress site ?

Hi all,
I'm working on a friend's site.
My problem is that the pages display some text that is impossible to edit.
I don't know how to edit the text's inline styles either.
Because I don't know in which file the text is located.
It's nowhere on the server, since I ran a grepWin search to search for specific text directly inside the files.
So, where is the text located, and/or how can I edit it ? Do you have any clue ?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your answers.

It's possible the string you are looking for is stored inside the database as opposed to an actual document since most text is stored there in your typical CMS. I would recommend posting your topic in the Wordpress support forums as they would be better suited to tell you where to look in the database.

Wordpress sites are not displaying correctly on my mac after mountain lion upgrade (on all browsers - chrome, safari, firefox)

I am having trouble viewing anything that is on wordpress, including the wordpress site. This means I cannot view my own wordpress blog too properly - no images are viewable, only plain text and hyperlinked text. This happened immediately after I upgraded to Mountain Lion. My Mac is mid-2010. Everything else works fine. Thanks.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

CSS Menu in Wordpress site

I am attempting to update a menu in a Wordpress site using CSS. I would like to have a repeating background image for each list item that is currently active and on hover, as I have done below. The problem is the image, although 50px high, only shows as the font size (14x) and only shows for the length of the characters. I need to figure out how to force the image to display full height and give some left and right padding.
#menu {
height: 50px;
width: 960px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 20px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
margin-left: 20px;
background-image: url(menu_bg.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding-top: 12px;
#menu ul {
display: inline;
height: 50px;
#menu li {
display: inline;
#menu a {
color: #1f2320;
font-size: 14px;
margin-left: 20px;
font-weight: bold;
#menu a:link {
#menu a:hover {
color: #679800;
text-decoration: none;
#menu li a:hover {
color: #679800;
text-decoration: none;
background-image: url(menu_over.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x;

Hi Nancy; I fixed the borders issue, but cannot seem to get over the fact that everytime I add the full height (50px) for the line height, all that happens is the links are pushed down several pixels. There must be something in the Wordpress theme CSS that's making this happen. I rarely build CSS menus from scratch...
This works fine, but the borders, backgrounds, etc. only extend the height of the font:
#menu {
height: 50px;
width: 960px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 20px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
margin-left: 20px;
background-image: url(menu_bg.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding-top: 12px;
#menu ul {
display: inline;
margin-left: 14px;
border-left-width: 1px;
border-left-style: solid;
border-left-color: #FFC315;
line-height: normal;
#menu li {
display: inline;
line-height: 100%;
#menu li a {
height: 50px;
border-right-width: 1px;
border-right-style: solid;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
border-right-color: #ffc315;
color: #262927;
padding-right: 9px;
padding-left: 9px;
#menu a:link {
#menu a:hover {
color: #679800;
#menu li a:hover {
color: #679800;
The full CSS file looks like this, and contains some strange things I suppose are WP-oriented:

How do I import Edge files into my Wordpress site

New to edge. Need to know how to incorporate the finished edge file into my WordPress site. Specifically I want to create an animated banner.

Downloading and editing an existing WordPress site in Dreamweaver CS5.

Hello! New to the forums, here.
I'll try to be brief. I've got a WordPress site in-place at metalmeter.com that is hosted through HostGator. Basically, what I'm looking to do is get the site from the remote server and edit it in Dreamweaver CS5, previewing all changes on a local testing server before putting the updated contents back on the remote server.
Now, let me be clear: I've tried plenty of the tutorials. I've watched hours of videos. I still can't get it configured properly. I've got the FTP connection to the remote server running smoothly. I've got XAMPP installed. I'm having difficulties (and I apologize for being vague), and I just don't know where the problem is located. In my htdocs folder for XAMPP, I've got two subfolders 'metalmeter' for the remote server's downloaded contents, and 'wordpress' for the wordpress installation that every page seems to be pointing me toward. What confuses me is that when I try and open the uppermost index.php file on the remote server, the dynamically discovered content is not being displayed in the live view with my local testing server. I want to be viewing my existing WordPress site in its entirety exactly as I see it online while I'm editing it, and then pushing back updated files to the /public_html/ root directory of the remote server so that I can edit the site from my local client. I'm extremely new to Dreamweaver, so any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
If you know how to do exactly what I'm trying to do and have been successfully viewing and editing your existing WordPress site in Dreamweaver for upload, please take some time to explain the set-up. I'd be forever in your debt!

I've been following this discussion for a while now and I don't understand why you hope to edit articles from DW. That's what the WP Admin panel is specifically designed for. Besides, you won't find your articles in any of the site files because they don't exist there.
I agree I don't see any reason to want to edit a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver. If you are using Wordpress then you may as well put Dreamweaver in the bin. Although people do actually want to edit and manipulate the design in Dreamweaver (including myself) and from what I've read its possible but I've never found a source which explains fully how to achieve this and those that I have it seems too much effort to even bother about.
I guess the Dreamweaver environment feels more like home and is more user friendly.
To put it another way, a typical WordPress installation contains around 800 files in some 80 folders. Those files don't contain any content, just a whole lot of PHP code. In fact, the only page most people ever see on your site is the index.php page which is dynamically created over & over by the server with content from the MySql and various include files.
For sure and that's why people who use Dreamweaver and feel the need to manipulate a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver because Wordpress is 'in vogue' get lost. Wordpress just containes a lot of pages with nothing to see apart from some php, many of who will not understand one jot.
Unless you're a coding guru, you should definitely NOT touch any of the core WP files as this could cripple your site. If you want to customize your Theme, look at the CSS and include files in your Themes folder. See Anatomy of a WordPress Theme:http://yoast.com/wordpress-theme-anatomy/
lol your not wrong there!
For a quick tip on Theming, open your remote site in Firefox equipped with the 'Web Developer Toolbar'. Edit CSS on screen. Save changes to your local site and upload it to the remote server. No testing server required.
Wordpress is Wordpress and Dreamweaver is Dreameaver. As far as I can make out the two don't mix.
Ideally you would just choose a Wordpress theme which most relates to the nice site you have designed in Fireworks of which you won't find any however goodthe themes are. Then manipulate the themes css that's if you can understand it. Even for a seasoned css expert its heavy going because everyone produces css differently to achieve the same results.
Leave Wordpress well anlone unles you're going to use it out of the box so to speak or as a web-developer don't mind a bit of reverse engineering.

Email no longer working for my WordPress site

Not sure when this happened, but my wordpress site will no longer send emails. The only time I get an error back of any help is when i try the password recovery utility. It displays
The e-mail could not be sent.
Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function...
Which is odd because this used to work just fine when I first set this all up 3 months ago. Do the shared sites have email disabled now? How can I get this working again? I tried looking through wordpress for email configuration and testing,
but didn't find anything there.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Chris

Oh wow, that's odd. It worked just fine when I initially setup the site. Never heard of having to install a plugin to get SMTP working for a wordpress site. I've always understood that you'd simply have to configure PHP to let it communicate
with the SMTP server, which naturally happened when I installed the WordPress site from your plugins. Which doesn't mean to say that it's impossible for it to be different than what I imagined. But really, I'd be surprised if this is "standard
wordpress practice".
As with all wordpress plugins, there's a worry about installing a malicious one in your site. Is there any that you all could suggest to "re-bridge" the gap in this functionality?
Also if this is the default behavior for the "website preview" which has been provided by running on shared instances, does this mean that if we were to decide to upgrade the site to be on our own instance, that we'd have to perform the same tasks to get
email working?

I can log in to my wordpress site or rather I can get into the back end of my site but I can no longer see the edit button on Firefox

I use firefox 24 and it was working fine up until last weekend then I could no longer see the edit button on my wordpress site.
The thing is that I can get into my site via the site-wp-admin url as cookies allow me to do so but once I click on visit site then I cannot do anything because there are no edit buttons and not a log in button either so I do not even have the option of trying and failing or succeeding.
It is quite puzzling as it happened just recently.
I now have to use chrome to do all my editing since there is no problems on that browser

Let me start with the general advise...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

How do I edit a WordPress site in Dreamweaver?

I found a pretty good article on how to install WordPress to a localhost and run a site made locally on a test server through Dreamweaver (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_wordpress_pt1.html), but it leaves a lot unanswered. Like...
1. Okay, now I've built a WordPress site locally, how do I upload it to my webserver?
(When I upload it to my ftp, it's broken. I suspect that this is because the scripting is set to work on my localhost MySQL & phpMyAdmin and not my webserver's)
2. If I already have a WordPress site up on my webserver, can I download it to my localhost server so I can edit in Dreamweaver and my local machine, and then upload it later to my webserver?
Thank you everyone! Your help is highly appreciated!

i am only new at dreamweaver...however, i have spent quite some time with Wordpress and Joomla website building.
Plese note... In an effort to explain my thoughts (which if left in their original state...only make sense to me really) i use the term "articles" below very loosely as Wordpress is not just a blogg platform anymore.
The two platforms serve different purposes. Wordpress is a publishing platform...Dreamweaver is a design program. Dreamweaver on its own, would be a very slow and cumbersome way of publishing articles on a Wordpress site. Dreamweaver on its own, is oriented towards creating the entire Wordpress CMS itself...not the "dynamic content" that goes on the Wordpress Site (dynamic meaning published information that is regularly being added/edited/deleted) .
What you really should be asking is, "how can i edit/develop Wordpress themes in Dreamweaver?" Now that, Dreamweaver can do.
Just slightly off topic, have you thought about building your websites using Adobe Muse instead. Its much faster and a lot simpler to use than dreamweaver and a great drag and drop design interface! Almost no coding required. You wold not be using Wordpress of course, and the content isnt dynamic, but Muse is soooo easy to build sites with!
Could i make a suggestion that i myself have undertaken...Purchase a monthly Adobe Creative Cloud plan(to get access to a heap of Adobe CC programs) + $39US/month Lynda.com tutorial package.
Even if you just use the lynda training for a single month only (you only pay by the month as you go)...you will learn an enormous amount about the Dreamweaver, Muse, Wordpress...and a huge number of other programs.
Best money i have spent in Info Tech in a long time
kind regards

Why is the tab name showing the old file type when I try to download a pdf from our wordpress sites?

We have two wordpress sites. On each site we have uploaded some pdf files that viewers can download. I noticed that when you try to download a pdf file the tab name that appears when you click "Download" is not the same as the filename. For instance: when I try to download a pdf file titled "Weekly Retail Skeptic". In firefox - the tab name will say "Microsoft Word - Note_2013_0523_Skeptic - Note_0523_Skeptic.pdf". It seems like the browser is reading what the file was before it was converted to a pdf.
I have tried both "print to pdf" in word as well as converting the word document to a pdf document using Acrobat.

Hello,
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

How to work with an EXISTING wordpress site in side DW CS5 (yahoo hosted)

Have and existing Wordpress site that is hosted by Yahoo. Recently upgraded to Dreamweaver CS5. Was really excited about working with my Wordpress files inside of DW CS5 with all of it's new capabilities, bells and wistles. I can't seem to get it set up right.
Is Dreamweaver CS5 ABLE to display existing wordpress sites with dynamic content? And can anyone please help me figure out how.
I have been thru several lynda.com video tutorials including:
Dreamweaver CS5 and Wordpress 3 by Joseph Lowery (over the last month)
Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP and MySQL by David Gassner (over the last month)
PHP with MySQL essetial training by Kevin Skoglund (about a year ago when trying to learn php)
Self-hosting a Wordpress site (about a year ago when I set up the site)
I have also been scouring this forum and the web trying to find the answer to what seems to be a very common problem.
Using Mac OSX 10.6.6
MAMP
Dreamweaver CS5
Wordpress 3
Yahoo web hosting
Everything works fine with the exercise files but as soon as I try my existing site files it gives me one of several errors
cannot establish a connection to the database
I set up my site thur the DW site manager with the
Local Site Folder set to: /applications/MAMP/htdocs/nate
server set to:
name: testing
connection using: local/network
server folder: /applications/MAMP/htdocs/nate
web url: http://localhost/nate
under the advanced tab i have set the server model to: php mysql
and have the testing box checked in the site set up dialog box
I also set a remote server:
name: remote
connect using: ftp
ftp address: ftp.MY_SITE_NAME.com
username: myusername@MY_SITE_NAME.com
password: mypassword
under the advanced tab i have the server model set to: php mysql
and have the remote box checked in the site set up dialog box
when tested connection was made. I also downloaded all of my site files using this connections (it took hours).
I installed MAMP and set the ports to the defauls (80, 3306) host: localhost username: root password: root
If i change the database settings in the wordpress wp-config.php file to: localhost, root, root it works and displays my page as I would expect in live view or browser but without the main content area or posts - displays a 404 error where the content should beI have exported my wp database and imported back into my local testing server thru phpmyadmin.
I have also gotten this error at various tries in the set ups: "dynamically-related files could not be resolved because of an internal server error"
I am currently getting this error: "Dynamically related files could not be resolved because the site definition is not correct for this server"
It is not asking me if I want to save files to the server when I hit live view.
Everything works fine with the lynda.com exercise files and with the generic wordpress files. I can open any page - live view or view in browser - can access and modify the imported database thur dreamweaver and phpmyadmin. I am only having these problems with my existing site files. I have done the complete set up at least 5 times from scratch going thru the videos and various tutorials step by step. I dont want to use the starter files that come with wordpress installations I want to use my highly modified pages/themes/database

DW does not work with a WP installation that has anything other than the default (numeric) permalinks. Apparently no-one ever tested this case during the development and prerelease phase, which is a shame, because very few WP installations use default permalinks. It's a point that Joseph Lowery doesn't touch in his tutorial, and of course the tutorial WP installation works perfectly.
Hope that helps, although it may disappoint (as it did me, and a lot of other folks). Here's hoping this is addressed in a dot release.

I have a Wordpress site. I wanted to add a new page to it. However, when I try, I am able to type inside of the "Title" box & I am able to type inside of the "Post Excerpt (Meta Description)" box. However, I cannot type inside of the main body box where the actual content of my page would appear.
This seems to be a browser issue because I can do it if I use Internet Explorer. Why does Firefox prevent me from editing or adding a new page to my Wordpress site?
Thanks.

QuickTime X doesn't playback video properly in WordPress site

I have a WordPress site and I use QuickTime for the videos on the site. I use the MakeRefMovie application to direct people to one of two movies, one formatted for computers (H.264 .mov file), the second movie file for iPhone (.m4v file).
The problem is that when I hit the page with Snow Leopard and QuickTime X the video controls on screen don't work, I have to hit the spacebar to play the video.
The answer is NOT for me to install QuickTime 7 as I need to have a solution for others visiting my website. And if anybody has a new Mac or is running Snow Leopard and only QuickTime X then it appears to them that my videos are broken as they can't be played.
I could probably set the attribute to autoplay but then the user has no way to stop the video as the video controls onscreen are inoperable.
Here's a sample page which plays fine in QT7 but is broken in QTX:
http://www.hawaii247.org/2009/09/20/kealakehe-crushes-hilo-49-22-in-biif-footbal l/
Really frustrating that this 'upgrade' has broken things.
My html code looks like this:
<object classid="clsid:02bf25d5-8c17-4b23-bc80-d3488abddc6b" width="500" height="295" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab#version=6,0,2,0"><param name="autoplay" value="false" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="cache" value="true" /><param name="kioskmode" value="true" /><param name="volume" value="50" /><param name="src" value="http://www.hawaii247.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/20090919_hilo-kealak ehe-fball-r.mov" /><embed type="video/quicktime" width="500" height="295" src="http://www.hawaii247.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/20090919_hilo-kealakeh e-fball-r.mov" volume="50" kioskmode="true" cache="true" wmode="transparent" autoplay="false"></embed></object>

Yep. Just as you say when viewed using Safari and Snow Leopard. Controls don't work. Nor does clicking on the player window because of the "kioskmode" tag code.
I'm not an html expert and have never used WordPress but it appears that some object is "covering" the entire area of the video preventing any mouse click.
I turned on the "Develop" tools found in Safari (Advanced preferences) and took a deeper look at your page elements (right click on the page). It reports an improperly closed embed tag or a "non matching" tag error (I don't know which).
If you open your link using Safari and slowly double click right next (right side) to the video you'll see the phantom outline that is covering the video (and the controls).
If it were my page I'd use more "modern" html code (the embed tag is dead) and an "external" (another server) method of delivering the javascript code for QuickTime files:

How to publish a single Muse page to site that also has a Wordpress site

I have a site (ddmdigital.com) that has Wordpress on it. I need to create several unrelated, stand-alone Muse pages that I would also like to put on that site...not to be accessed from the Wordpress site, just accessed from the site itself. For example, I'd like to put the files in a folder called FB so their url would be ddmdigital.com/fb/pagename. I can't figure out how to specify what I want in Muse's "FTP to Url" dialog box to upload them. I created the folder called FB and tried to use that but Muse just says "No folder of that name found."
I have done this by manually FTP-ing all the files but I'd like to use Muse's publish feature. Any help?
Thanks!

Screenshot of ftp window will help. Alternatively you can export the pages as html and then upload to your server using any FTP client.
Thanks,
Sanjit

How to copy and paste text from a web site viewed in Chrome using the Xperia z3v?

I have searched high and low for a way to copy and paste text from a web site in Chrome using the Xperia z3v. I've tried a long tap, a double tap, a triple tap - nothing works. I am able to select text, copy and paste it in a Word doc, however. There must be some way to do this on a web site in Chrome. I'm certain I am not trying to select text that is really an image. I am trying to copy text. Here is the link where I'm trying to get the text. It's a recipe.http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/mushroom-pilaf.html#! Maybe I should try to get Firefox for smart phones and see if that works. Any ideas?Thank you!

Holy Cow, who'da thought?!!Thank you. I gave you a kudo and I marked this as a solution. Thanks again!PS - I'm amazed at how long it takes me to accomplish seemingly simple things with a smart phone. This is my first smart phone ever. I am a former computer programmer and am very PC literate. Still, sometimes I pull my hair out. Thanks again!
