So! Many months later, I have news. My host was able to remove the folder, and I was able to update to the next Revolution Slider. Thanks everyone for your help!

Now I have one more question. It has been said that the slides for the Revolution Slider I had set up on my home page are saved somewhere in the database. My question is, how can I retrieve those slides? I was unable to make a backup of it since the plugin was spazzed out, so my only hope is to go the database route. All pictures and everything involved in the slider are still accessible.

So, here’s the update.

I FTP’d the latest revslider plugin to my server, to the only folder which is visible from FileZilla (called jeaux, under public_html). Then, through the backend, I copied this into the plugins folder, right over the previous revslider.

This didn’t work. When I try to copy it over, I get this error message: “FileOp Failure on: /home6/aetheri2/public_html/jeaux/revslider: Permission denied”

So I followed Mohammed’s advice and tried to copy the revslider folder through FileZilla, but as I mentioned, I am unable to navigate my server through FTP. Only one folder is viewable, which I can upload to/download from. So that route seems a no go.

I asked the FileZilla support staff why this was, and they said it may be due to how WordPress is installed on Bluehost: the “one click install” they have may have installed it outside of the ftproot.

The FileZilla support staff said that essentially only the hosting provider can fix this. I am about to write a support ticket for Bluehost. I just wanted your input on any other steps I ought to take. It seems rather tricky to get this old revslider plugin off of my site!

Thanks Mohammed, your advice worked seamlessly, and now the Revolution slider is updated and working.

I’ve tried to figure out how to reach the backup of the slider I initially had on the frontpage, which I’ve tracked down within my database (I believe it’s in the uploads folder). However, I’m unable to figure out how to access that folder from the Revolution plugin.

I attempted to FTP it from my site to my computer, but it seems difficult to download as I’m unable to browse my site’s database from FileZilla; I can only upload to a particular folder. I imagine this is an easily solved issue, and I’m just missing something.

Thanks for your help so far. My front page is now nearly fixed!

Though I will mention, text and icons have returned to the front page! Which is great. The only thing not displaying now is the Revolution slider. So close…

I attempted to delete the plugin through wp-admin, but it said that it failed: “Plugin could not be deleted due to an error: Could not fully remove the plugin(s) revslider/revslider.php.”

So I went into File Manager, into public_html, into plugins, and I found revslider. I deleted the directory. I went back to wp-admin and tried to delete the plugin; however, it gave me the same error! Going back to the file manager, I found that the revslider directory had appeared again (if I went up one level, then returned). Something seems to be rebuilding it each time I delete it. I would go prowling around for some sort of backup or whatnot, but I’m afraid I may mess with something and cripple the site.

Thanks, now my current self-made FAQs are showing. However I’m still at a loss on how to given them a certain order. At the moment, they seem to be all mixed up. None are in the order I made them. How can I give these FAQs a custom order, specifically oldest at the top, and newest added to the bottom?

[jeaux]

Alright, I’ve found the file, and I changed line 18 to what I found in the other topic: $cat_args = array(‘taxonomy’ => ‘faqs-category’, ‘orderby’ => ‘id’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’);

However, once I did this, the FAQ page now only has the topics that came with the demo site. And what’s more, these topics have no questions or answers listed under them. At the top of the page it says the number of questions each topic has, but does not list them anywhere.

So what code should be placed in this faqs.php, for the Dante theme, that will allow my questions to be arranged in descending order, newest being added to the bottom?
