WordPress
Cannot create directory when uploading files
The user & group apache:apache are specific to RHEL/CentOS systems.
sudo chown -R apache:apache wordpress.htaccess to redirect to subdirectory
By default, Apache doesn't listen to .htaccess files; they must be
enabled.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain-name.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain-name.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !folder/
RewriteRule (.*) /folder/$1 [L]Dropdown navigation items are always shown
This is caused by submenu <ul> elements not having the class dropdown-menu which tells Bootstrap to hide the element unless hovered.
Check for a custom class-walker-nav-menu.php in wp-includes. This file can be modified to change the output HTML of menu items.
⚠️ Edits should not be made to the file directly, rather it should be extended (opens in a new tab).
For a quick fix, add dropdown-menu to the $classes variable in the start_lvl function.
Gravity Forms CSS issues
When "No-Conflict Mode" is enabled in Gravity Forms settings, the path to Gravity Forms CSS is not set correctly in Chrome.
Images don't maintain aspect ratio
This is likely due to width and/or height attributes present on the image which are added by WordPress (not sure why yet). To fix this, use the following CSS (currently in the Custom CSS section of Appearance)
img[class*="wp-image-"] {
height: auto; /* Make sure images with WordPress-added height and width >attributes are scaled correctly */
}Homepage works, but subpages give a server 404
To get this to work, we need the proper .htaccess in the root directory (/var/www/html) as well as a second .htaccess in the WordPress directory (/var/www/html/wordpress) so that WordPress can handle the requests for post names as URLs, which are in the same structure as directories
/var/www/html
