dante shortcodes

[Keith]

Hi

I am a new wp user as well as a new dante customer so be easy…

I cannot find in knowledgebase
On own mac not yet public url unfortunately
wp latest 3.9.1
dante:latest

When trying to edit a Text Block and click menu icon > Shortcodes I get

Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /my-domain-name/wp-content/themes/dante/swift-framework/sf-shortcodes/interface.php on this server.

I have set permissions to read/write for all and can actually read/write named file
(what user is being used by program here -is it _www or me?)

This then leads me to next question of
How can I find shortcodes for adding Countdowns to a page?

Cheers
Keith

Hi

You need to edit the permissions on the interface.php file to 644

Hi
I am on an a Mac (as I said)

I have tried setting read/write (which I believe for files IS 644) using Get Info but no luck (as I said)

I have trawled internet and there seems to be a difference between setting rrights and owner of file using ACL on mac?

tried this I found and still no good —

—
In order to retain full ownership of the files and directories but give access to Apache, one wants to use the ACL feature built into Mac OS X.

sudo chmod -R +a ‘_www allow read,write,delete,add_file,add_subdirectory,file_inherit,directory_inherit’ <dir>

—
the dante folder and below are now set to custom in get Info

I have not been using Mac for long so unsure how to set permissions
Only seems to be your website with an issue?

Can you please give me step by step sudo/other instructions on whjat needs setting for this to work – otherwise Theme is no use to me

I am using MAMP on Mac for Apache mysql and php if that helps

Thanks

Not sure about permissions on local files, I will forward this to the developer to see if he knows what’s causing the problem

Hi Keith,

I think this may be due to a htaccess issue. Please check that there isn’t any “Deny” statements that would cause WordPress not be able to access that file.

I dont think so because there is just the default in .htaccess
viz

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# RewriteBase /
RewriteBase /myFolder/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /myFolder/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

where myFolder is the name of my website locally

Have you checked for any htaccess in /wp-admin ?

– Ed

[Keith]

Hi

No I hadn’t but just looked in wp-content and found one (must be default?? – I’m new to WP)

contains

<Files *.php>
deny from all
</Files>

May be the issue then? 🙂
