I’ve just upped the max post size to 24Mb and the update ran through smoothly. Everything is now working as it should and I thank you very much for your timely and helpful suggestions.
Thankyou so much for rescuing my Magazines page. If it was me who saved it incorrectly (you said it had been saved as a ‘block editor’ page) then how do I avoid inadvertently doing that agin? I just click on Update or Save and I’ve never seen an option to save as Advanced layout Page or save as block page, so how would I have done that?
As for the updates, I’m definitely using the second option, the Installable WordPress File. I don’t have a Dropbox account, so can’t upload it there, but its the standard file that’s on your website -I’ve tried downlaoding it three times now but lawys the same error mesage. The various screenshots are below:

Yes I’m using 5.6.12 because I’m anble to update it to the altest version. I’ve downlaoded the file that ends in ‘wordpress-theme.zip but it only runs for a few seconds then ends with the ‘the link you followed has expired’ message. I don’t even get the ‘theme is already installed’ message.
One the ‘Pages’ list in wordpress, most of the pages say ‘Advanced alyout builder’ next to them but the ones I can’t edit just have blank space there (sorry I can’t see how to paste a screenshot here). If I click on ‘Edit’ the page opens with just a /shortcode heading and the entire apge is in code. I don’t see any ‘Advance Layout Builder’ anywhere on the screen. Most of the pages affected have not been updated in months, so I don’t think its becasue they were last edited in WordPress alone. It may have happened with the update to WordPress 6.6.1 as I could get into the magazines page only last week without this problem. The magazines page is huge as it contains images and lists of articles for 118 back issues so would take weeks to recreate. Again i can’t post a screenshot so if you could look into remotely you’ll see what I mean.I’ve increassed the upload limit and now when I run the update it says’ ‘The link you followed has expired’ I’ve downloaded the zip file and tried again, but I get the same message.
I’ve tried several times but get a timeout message: The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.
I’ve increased the size of the upload in my hosts php settings but it’s made no difference. How big does the setting need to be?
Here are my settings:Memory Limit: 1GB
Post max size 8MB
Upload maz filesize 16MbThe advice about using an image element did the trick without any extra code. I got hung up on using the parallax and scroll options and didn’t actually try a straightforward image. As you say they resize a lot better. Thanks, and you may close this query.
Thankyou -this works perfectly on the homepage, but not on the others -see for example http://follies.org.uk/index.php/journal/ . Is there somehting in this script I can alter to make it applicable to all pages?
I had to do a complete redesign on the Galleries page (http://follies.org.uk/index.php/galleries/ ) as i couldn’t make it work using the galleries function. But the about me is still there and still comes up in greyed out mode almost every time it is opened. http://follies.org.uk/index.php/about-me/
I’ve resolved it now. I found the index.php file had somehow grown to over 200 lines of code. I found an earlier version that was much shorter and copied that over instead. Things are now working as they should.
I’ve attempted to move my site and come unstuck. I’ve followed the instructions in https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory using the section labelled Method II.
So here’s what i’ve done:
Changed the wordpress address on the general settings page to follies.org.uk, omitting the /wp that was in both before. (steps 3 and 4)
Clicked save changes -nothing happened other than the page went blank.
I then moved each of the three wordpress folders from the /wp directory to the root directory.(step 5)
I removed the old index.html file and copied the index.php file to the root. I can’t see the .htaccess through Dreamweaver, so I used the ftp editor in my hosting control panel and found it was already in the root.
I took a copy of index.php and opened it in notepad. I looked for the lines in step 9 but couldn’t find them exactly like that. I found these lines:
/** Load WordPress Bootstrap */
require_once( dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/admin.php’ );/** Load WordPress dashboard API */
require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/includes/dashboard.php’);Now, I don’t know what to edit. My root is now follies.org.uk but I don’t know which part to type this into. If I type ‘www.follies.org.uk in a browser’ I get taken to the hosts main site. If I try and login to WordPress I just get a blank page that says ‘http://follies.org.uk/wp-login.php’ in the address bar. This is worrying as I can no longer get in, nor give you a login to have a look. I realise that this is really WordPress rather than enfold, so I’ve asked on their forum as well. Any help to get my new website visible again would be much appreciated. I’m rather desparate to see two months solid work come to nothing!
I did spend soem time trying different abckup add-ins until I found one that worked. So I do have a very recent backup, but I can only restore it through the WordPress dashbaord that i can no longer access.I’ve now sorted this out myself. I tried resaving it but it made no difference. So I decided to rename it to booksold and make a new books page and copy everything over. However, a quick look at booksold showed the data had all jumped back under its correct tabs. I renamed in back to books and all is fine.
Thanks for the suggestions but nothing I could find did what I wanted. However, I have now achieved it using standard WordPress and Enfold features, so I’ll detail it here, in case anyone else wants to do the same.
On my page I added a grid row and set it to five columns wide.
In each column I added a Text box element
I then cloned the row several times to build up my grid.
Then editing the text box I clicked on ‘add media’ , found the image of the front page of the document and then over on the right of the media page added a caption (No1 etc), then further down in the right hand corner it says “attachment display settings”. On the ‘link to’ dropdown, change it to ‘Custom URL’ then in the box below paste in the link to the pdf file.
Then ‘Insert into page’ and that’s it. When you hover over an image the picture changes, and if you click on it the pdf opens up full screen. Just what I wanted!
Here’s the finished page :http://follies.org.uk/wp/index.php/e-bulletin-2/I’ve contacted Statcounter and they’ve tried with different versions of their code but nothing improved the situation. So I removed the Statcounter add-on and tried again, but the problem is still there, so it wasn’t Statcounter’s fault. Could you have another look please?
Yes that’s right -its just a catalogue of back issues people can download or read in a pdf reader at will.
Thanks – I’ve had a look at this but it seems far too complicated for what I need -I can’t see anyhting that looks like a gallery layout in there, nor can I see a way of doing without all the shopping cart stuff -I’m giving this stuff away – just click and download is all I need.
Ok -here’s a picture of the part of my webpage: http://follies.org.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/Capture.jpg Its the text that says’Summer 2017′ that I want to change.
In design view it occurs here: http://follies.org.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/Capture2.jpg
Its the field thats called ‘Name’Thanks,
AlanIt depends on how detailed you want it to be, but I use ‘Very Simple Event List’ which you’ll find in the add-ons, and it works well for me.
