    Thanks for the ideas RvR.  I checked the DB and the names, passwords, users etc were exactly the same.  I am guessing that is not the difficulty but I could easily be wrong. If the path in the DB was wrong wouldn't that also impact... view reply

    Bummer, the flushed cache didn't help. I had a look at the link and from what I can gather the changes they recommend seem to be made already.  I may have missed something,  Who knows.  However, I realized that the new host... view reply

    Thanks so much for the link!  I will dig into that and see what might be the problem. Great idea to flush the cache.  Didn't think of that!  Really appreciate your help with this, I remember you were very helpful before.  I... view reply

    I had a functioning elgg site that we moved to a new web host.  At first it failed to open and we found this was due to the settings file needing to reset the home directory.  once that was changed the site comes up but has lost its...
    • Thanks for the ideas RvR.  I checked the DB and the names, passwords, users etc were exactly the same.  I am guessing that is not the difficulty but I could easily be wrong. If the path in the DB was wrong wouldn't that also impact whether it would be able to grab data and put it on the page?  It's able to do that just not format. Given the clean new install doing the same left justification thing I think i will wait to hear from the web host first before I put too much more effort into things. This may very well not be a problem with my installation. They should not take too long.....gulp.

       

    • Any wrong entries in settings.php, .htaccess or the database (database entries as mentioned in the site duplication instructions)? Any differences in using http OR https in different entries? Access/read/write permissions (and owner and group) of data directory sufficient and correct? To be 100% sure that no wrong references remain in the cached files you could rename the "cache" folder in your data directory (renaming is the fasted way here to backup it). The cache folder will get re-created automatically, and then it would be only with newly cached files (if recreation works not much point in keeping the cache folder backup as all cached files will be added as soon as being nececessary).

      Any feedback from the hoster yet?

    • @trgolden - my team had the same problem with CSS not loading when installing Elgg3.3.x. The issue we had was web server configuration (apache) - not Elgg. If your web host uses apache, you can ask them to add 'AllowOverride All' in the apache config file.

    I am planning a private elgg site and am wondering if there are different ways to set up the registration. The plan is to have people join a wordpress site and to open registration to the Elgg site only to those who join the wordpress...
  • trgolden replied on the discussion topic Is there a way to make some users moderators?
    iionly!  Thank you!  Those two plugins did the trick.  It's a simple admin task to turn users into moderators who then have editing/deleting ability with published posts.  Exactly what I was looking for.  I wish there... view reply

    The readme for the plugin you recommend above states the following:   "As of this version, there is no user-friendly way to create or configure roles on your Elgg installation with this plugin."   Considering I am... view reply
