I'd like to mirror a wordpress site on a local machine so I can fiddle with it without fear of destroying anything. My initial plan was to install Akeeba Backup to do it for me, but apparently the webhost's PHP version is too old (5.2.17), so that's a no-go. Is there another plugin you could suggest? Backup/restorey stuff for mirroring. Or another approach altogether.

fuf posted:oh that's a shame. You could try this method by rt4 a few pages back describing how to clone a WP install: Yeah, was hoping for something less fiddly.

I'm considering making a tag widget that would allow a visitor to click a tag to add it to the currently displayed list of posts, and click an active tag to remove it, etc, allowing for filtering freely on multiple tags. My problem is that I can't figure out how to make Wordpress produce a permalink out of multiple active tags and categories. Any suggestions? Example: Visitor on page foo.com/category/shoes/tag/red,blue/ Clicks tag blue Visitor now shown foo.com/category/shoes/tag/red/ Clicks tag green Visitor now shown foo.com/category/shoes/tag/red,green/

Data Graham posted:But for the life of me I don't see where I can get at the actual ready.js so I can monkey with it. There are no JS files listed in the Editor file list, whether under "Templates" or "Styles". I have to assume ready.js is stored somewhere else, like in the theme itself? I don't know how themes work in WP; am I supposed to be able to download the theme as a package and edit/re-upload it? Files inside subfolders (like /js/ here) don't show up in the default editor in Wordpress, so you'll either have to get at them directly through FTP or by using special plugins, I believe. Edit: Actually, subfolders doesn't seem to be the issue exactly, but filetypes? darkgray fucked around with this message at 01:14 on Dec 30, 2015 |

Data Graham posted:Okay, so yeah—I didn't know you were supposed to be able to get FTP access on top of the front-end. And of course this customer doesn't seem to have it enabled or something, or at least the same credentials I use to get into the WP admin don't work. Yeah, I'm sorry. I looked at the fancy tutorial video they had on display, and it showed him editing javascript files in subfolders, but it turns out it only does this for plugins, not themes. What you can do instead is install the plugin WPide. It won't make the default code editor any more useful, but it adds an entirely new editor in the side menu (<> WPide) that has its own file browser, where you can finally edit any file you want. Hopefully.

The Unholy Ghost posted:Is there a guide for how to use Wordpress anywhere? I wanted to make a website so I downloaded Wordpress and now I have a little over a thousand documents in a folder? I'm a bit confused. I registered a domain name and have hosting so I'm not sure what to do next now...? Youtube has a bunch of tutorials on practically everything related to Wordpress, so one of them might be helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QihvpQYOJ04 A different one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqrS1IFCIpY
