Resolving an issue on a WordPress by using FTP

Step 1
Xtra

When a WordPress plugin causes problems on your site (such as crashes, slow loading times, or conflicts with other plugins), you may not be able to access the WordPress admin dashboard to deactivate or delete the plugin. In such cases, using FTP is a direct method to remove the plugin files from your server and restore site functionality.

Steps involved:

  1. Connect via FTP: You’ll need an FTP client (such as FileZilla) and your website’s FTP login credentials from your hosting provider to access your site files.
  2. Navigate to Plugin Directory: Once connected via FTP, go to the WordPress installation directory (often located in /public_html/) and find the folder /wp-content/plugins/.
  3. Delete the Problematic Plugin: Locate the specific plugin folder that’s causing issues. You can either delete the plugin folder completely or rename it (so that it’s deactivated but still available for troubleshooting).
  4. Check the Website: After deleting or renaming the plugin folder, check your website to see if it’s functioning correctly again.

This approach is a manual way to remove problematic plugins when you don’t have access to the WordPress admin area.

  • Install and activate the plugin.

2. Create a Mailchimp Account (If You Don’t Have One)

  • Go to Mailchimp’s website and sign up for a free account if you don’t already have one.
  • Once your account is set up, you’ll need to create an email list (now referred to as an “audience” in Mailchimp).

3. Get Mailchimp API Key

  • Log in to your Mailchimp account.
  • In the top-right corner, click on your profile icon and go to Account.
  • Navigate to Extras > API keys.

  • When you’re done customizing, save the form.

6. Embed the Form in Your Subscribe/Newsletter Element

There are different ways to integrate the form into your site depending on how your subscribe/newsletter element is built:

  • For a widget: Go to Appearance > Widgets and add the Mailchimp Signup Form widget to your desired widget area (e.g., sidebar or footer).
  • For a page or post: Edit the page where you want the subscription form and use the MC4WP Form shortcode to insert the form. You can find the shortcode in MC4WP > Form (usually looks like [mc4wp_form id="123"]).
  • For a custom HTML element: If your theme or page builder allows custom HTML or code, you can paste the Mailchimp form’s HTML directly into the element.

  • Go to your Mailchimp dashboard and check if the email was added to your audience list.

  • You can further customize your Mailchimp form by going to MC4WP > Form and adjusting the form fields, design, and messages (e.g., “Success” or “Error” messages).
  • For advanced customization, you can add custom CSS to style the form according to your website’s design.

9. Enable Double Opt-in (Optional)

  • Mailchimp offers a double opt-in feature, which requires users to confirm their email address by clicking a link sent to their inbox.
  • To enable this, go to your Mailchimp account’s Audience Settings, and turn on double opt-in.

10. Set Up Mailchimp Automation (Optional)

  • Once people start subscribing, you can set up email automation or welcome emails using Mailchimp’s automation features.

reGenerate Plugin Thumbnails

If you’re encountering issues with incorrectly sized images in your blog posts or custom post types, you’re not alone. This problem often arises when you’ve made changes to your site’s theme, altered image dimensions in the media settings, or migrated your site. Fortunately, there’s a straightforward solution that can save you from manually resizing and re-uploading images.

Why Do Images Appear the Wrong Size?

When you upload images to your WordPress site, it generates multiple versions of each image in different sizes, based on your theme’s specifications and the settings in your WordPress dashboard. If these settings change after the images have been uploaded, the existing images won’t automatically adjust to the new sizes, leading to issues such as stretched, cropped, or incorrectly displayed images.

The Solution: reGenerate Thumbnails Plugin

To address this issue, we highly recommend installing the reGenerate Thumbnails plugin. This handy tool allows you to regenerate thumbnail sizes for all images in your media library, ensuring they align with the current settings and theme requirements.

In the search bar, type “Regenerate Thumbnails”.

Locate the plugin developed by Alex Mills and click Install Now.

Once installed, click Activate.

2.Run the Plugin:

After activation, go to Tools > Regenerate Thumbnails.

Here, you’ll see an option to regenerate thumbnails for all images in your media library.

Click the Regenerate Thumbnails for All Attachments button.

The process might take some time depending on the number of images in your library.

3.Verify the Results:

Once the regeneration process is complete, visit your blog posts and custom post types to check if the images are now displaying correctly. They should now fit perfectly with your theme’s design and the specified dimensions.
