I have removed the links from your post as they are not required in order to answer the question, and they could put some off of answering as they appear spammy.

Personally, I would have to agree with rproffitt in that if you can get better with practice then practice. If you can't get better with practice then hire in the talent you need as you need it.

You ask what you should focus on in your second post, something you have already answered in your first: look for great websites on the web and see what they are doing, play around with some designs and try to figure out how to do it better.

Congratulations. You have passed the 'I can cut and paste my homework question' test. Shame you will probably fail your class though, if you think others will do your work for you.

Especially as I note this was your second cut and paste in a matter of minutes - I've deleted the other one and infracted you under our rules. See them here: "provide evidence of having done some work yourself if posting questions from school or work assignments."

Here at DaniWeb we expect you to show us your code, explain when you are stuck and then maybe someone will be able to help you.

We are not here to do your homework for you though...

Have you tried the WordPress support pages, specifically this one: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-not-found-error-theme-is-hosed

Just post your question in the programming section and use a 'career' tag like you have here.

It's always best to start a new thread, rather than jump in on a ten year old one that's been dead for two years. That aside, telling us what router you have might be helpful...

That aside :)

If you really have forgotten or don't know your admin login, and the default for your device (go Google as all the info is easy to find out there) doesn't work, then your only option is a factory reset. Boot the router, locate the factory reset switch (usually sunken, so a paper clip or similar will be needed to press it) and depress for at least 10 seconds and then reboot. You will lose all your router custom configuration, but the login will be reset.

We don't do your homework for you.

So, to move things forward, you'll need to be more specific than simply posting your assignment question and expecting others to do it for you.

Show us the code you have produced so far, and tell us where you are getting stuck, and then maybe someone can help...

1) Read the rules about asking for homework help on DaniWeb. Display the code that you have produced so far. Explain where you are running into trouble with it.

Dear troll, I am now closing this thread. Please go have your fun elsewhere.

happygeek 2,411 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster

If you expect help in less than the ONE MINUTE you took to remind us you were still waiting for help, then I suggest you try phoning the premium tech support scheme you must have subscribed to when buying your laptop.

If you expect help from members here, then I suggest you try providing more detail such as what make/model of laptop, how old it is, what lights are blinking, did the screen just stop working suddenly or have there been problems leading up to this event, etc etc.

Riiiiight.

happygeek 2,411 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster

OK Sam, here's what I understand from your postings so far:

  1. You are too lazy to do your own homework
  2. You can't be bothered to read the rules here at DaniWeb
  3. You are happy to cheat
  4. You have no respect for the people you expect to do your work for you
  5. You do not understand the meaning of the word 'serious' in this context

Here's what you need to understand about my answers:

  1. I am an admin here
  2. I am telling why we will not do your homework for you
  3. If you are too lazy to be bothered to make any effort, nobody will bother to make any effort to help you

And...

happygeek 2,411 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster

Write a question, in plain English, that explains exactly what problems you are having with your homework assignment. Reveal the code that you have prepared so far, and point to the areas where those problems are occuring.

Alternatively, refer to the rules: "provide evidence of having done some work yourself if posting questions from school or work assignments"

Clearing cookies could certainly be something. I did this (almost on autopilot) at the outset of my problems with logging in, and had no hassle once I did the reset password thing.

happygeek 2,411 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster

I'm trying to remember how I did it now :)

Essentially, as Dani didn't copy passwords over to Dazah along with email addresses associated to DaniWeb, you need to reset your password - on Dazah. If I recall correctly, and I admit to being in a bit of a medicated fog so excuse me if not, I went to Dazah.com and disassociated the email/account from DaniWeb. Then (from the Dazah settings page - tab at top somewhere) I did a password reset having made sure I was using the right email address for my DaniWeb account. This prompted an email link to be sent that let me reset the password. Then I came back to DaniWeb, made sure I was logged out (in my case I had managed to associate another email address with another DaniWeb account of mine) and logging in with the right email address then just went smoothly.

I'm not logging out though, in case I can't get back in :)

Don't waste your time. The OP has posted a bunch of questions and answered them using another acountm, and vice-versa. It's a spam bait and respond thing in the making, most likely waiting for the sig facility to kick in.

happygeek 2,411 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster

I somehow doubt that he genuinely wants our help. Otherwise why use another account to answer his own questions with equally inane answers?

happygeek 2,411 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster

Oh, look, here he is with an answer to his own question right on cue...

happygeek 2,411 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster

Why are you answering your own, inane, questions?

happygeek 2,411 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster

Highlight files you want to delete. Press delete.

Unless you mean how to securely erase them of course, which is a different matter.

By the way, stop using two newly created accounts: one to post these questions and another to answer them. Admins/Mods can see your full IP address, and when you joined, and where from etc etc.

You've been a member for three years, so surely you should know by now that you can't simply post a homework assignment, show no coide, show no effort, and expect someone else to do it for you. Apart from anything else it breaches the rules at DaniWeb.

provide evidence of having done some work yourself if posting questions from school or work assignments

Post your code, explain exactly where your problem is and the help you are looking for, then someone might be able to help.

Yep, as a journalist myself I have to admit it's no secret that if the headline poses a question the answer is always no. Saves a lot of reading time when doing research... :-)

Well, you previously asked:

Can Any body gives the answer of these questions?
1. Make subdirectories called work and play.
2. Delete the subdirectory called work.
3. Copy the file /etc/passwd into your home directory.
4. Move it into the subdirectory play.
5. Change into subdirectory play and create a symbolic link called terminal that
points to your tty device. What happens if you try to make a hard link to the tty
device?
6. What is the difference between listing the contents of directory play with ls -l and ls -L?
7. Create a file called hello.txt that contains the words "hello world". Can you
use "cp" using "terminal" as the source file to achieve the same effect?
8. Copy hello.txt to terminal. What happens?

Sure looks like a lazy person to me...

happygeek 2,411 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster

Create a question that shows you have actually done some work yourself on this, what that work is and where you need help with it.

So far all you've shown is an ability to copy a homework question. Badly.

DaniWeb is not here to do your homework for you.

Everyone should use HTTPS is the answer.

Seriously, go read the wikipedia entry for HTTPS as a good enough basic overview of why.

Google even penalises those sites not using HTTPS in terms of ranking these days...

In which case have a keep it legal infraction, although I'm guessing it was just a spam thing anyway...

Erm, see this from last week: http://www.scmagazine.com/security-researchers-defeat-recaptcha/article/488236/

Well, the answer is right there in the original (solved) post from four years ago which states quite clearly: "asks users to identify the unit from which they want to convert and the unit to which they want to convert."

Was there actually something else you wanted to ask? If so, you would be well advised to start a new thread to do so.

All the best
