Hi Bob,
Good to hear that I.m not the only one having this problem.
Unfortunately the problem still is not solved…

But I do know how you can deactivatre the plug in;
Go to the dashboard>installed plug ins. There you can scroll down and look fort the shapely companion plug in. You can choose to deactivate, edit or remove…

Gr René

I had no dashboard, entire website down, but I found a link to manually empty contents of a file: https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/deactivate_plugins_themes_wordpress#deactivateplugin

thanks for the reply!

Did youe ever find out what the companion does?

Did you get Shapely to slide down and reveal photos?

Hi Laranz,

thanks for your reply. I just solved my issue. First i’ve deleted wordrprees complete from my webhosting’s server and re installed wordpress. Then I installed shape again, not the same version a’ve had downloaded but a new version.

Then I installed the them using the video’s en tutorial. After a lot trial and error I succeeded.
Ik think the mistake is somewhere in the documentation there is an unclear description. At on point you must change you homepage to the a new homepage from the theme At my website this was a different page so I had to change is thirst. I think made a mistake at that point. Finally it worked. Then I had another issue that may homepages was different than my URL ( I had tot type /blog extended tot hoei-boei.nl

With a wordpress workaround I found out how to change this by changing the description in the .acces file to the subdirectory my wordpress blog is placed in.

I hope this is helpfull to you

Surely a re-install is not required??

Until I hear a syntax error was corrected I am avoiding it.

Anyone know how to more easily get my WP install showing when www.boblepp.com is the URL? i had to insert an index.htm doing a redirect of www.boblepp.com/wp to www.boblepp.com
Maybe this is standard, but if there is an easier way…

Hi @Bob,

You can refer your web hosting knowledge base area for how to install WordPress, I think the way you’re doing is not standard. Why not install the WordPress directly on http://www.boblepp.com/ ?

Let us know,

Thanks,
