Shape 5

I have reinstalled twice and definitely have followed the site shaper tutorial. I also tried a base install of wordpress then overwriting with the files from site shaper. But nothing is working.

site is here:

When I go into the dashboard to start working on the theme options nothing appears. I get the attached,

None of the images are working, but I assume I can change those in options? Quite frustrated to spend $50 and not be able to even do anything to set this site up. Any help is greatly appreciated!

The Vertex Upgrade Patch (http://www.shape5.com/component/option,com_docman/Itemid,96/task,cat_view/gid,308) should fix the admin issue, but it's an overhaul of the way the framework functions, so you'll need to grab the latest versions of each plugin from the downloads area.

If you don't want to change out the plugins, then you'll need to grab just the vertex/admin folder from the patch and delete + replace the one in the theme. 

If you choose this method, you will also need to downgrade the Image and Content Fader to the last version that was compatible with the old framework, as per the Wordpress FAQ (http://www.shape5.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,75/topic,23923.0/):

Thanks as you said it fixed the admin issue. But the site is still crazy. And I did download each plug in from the downloads page and upgrade. But still not right. Whats next?

Most of the missing images are just broken paths, the content is generated by widgets, The ?tp=2 URL argument will show you which position each widget is in ( http://www.omnisalonspa.com/2014/?tp=2 ).

A lot of the images are using the [demourl] shortcode ([siteurl] is a better one to use on a normal site; it doesn't have to do as many calculations), but they seem to be missing the slash before the actual image path; that's why they're not loading.  Also: for some reason, jQuery is being loaded twice, and it shouldn't be.  When you "upgraded" the plugins, did you completely remove the old versions first?  They were completely re-written from scratch and it would be best to both remove the old ones and install the new ones through FTP instead of the WP dashboard.

I just overwrote via ftp. Should I just remove from wp-admin then readd?

Also how do I get them to use the / I cant push to the main site because I cant take down the live site while I work out the kinks in this one.

Im also getting this error when i try to activate frontpage-display-3

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare is_sbs() (previously declared in /hermes/waloraweb016/b1308/as.omnisalo/public_html/2014/wp-content/plugins/s5-imageslide/s5_slide.php:178) in /hermes/waloraweb016/b1308/as.omnisalo/public_html/2014/wp-content/plugins/s5-frontpage-display-3/s5_fp_display.php on line 174

If you deleted the plugins from the plugins folder before you uploaded the new versions, all you need to do is check in the admin to make sure they're still activated and reactivate anything that got deactivated automatically.



It appears that there was an issue in the download; I've fixed it, so just re-download the plugin and replace the version you currently have.

OK that plug in now activated. Still no pics on the site?

As I said in a previous post, just fix the image URLs, and they will start showing up.

Widgets are managed under "Appearance -> Widgets".  As I said previously, the link above will show you what positions the widgets are located in, you just have to edit the content of the text widgets to have correct links to the images you want to use.
