Ha! That did the trick! ? Thanks a lot! Went through the whole installation process a third time, and now everything worked out fine. The .htaccess file in root now looked *completely* different, must have had something to do with that. ? Thanks again for your help!

I see, thank you! Accordingly, I moved all files & folders up. In addition, I enabled GD library in php.ini (because missing GD triggered a warning during the installation process) and restarted Apache. The standard default home page loads (although it only does so when line 5 in htaccess "require all denied" is commented out) Still I have no idea where to look for the admin section. There is a "/templates-admin" folder below "/wire", so that seems to be a good place to start. I'd expect a "wire/index.php", but there is only an "index.config.php" that obviously is a multi-domain configuration file... Edit: I double checked with the official file structure (listed here https://processwire.com/docs/start/structure/files/). Even there, "/wire/templates-admin" is the only mention of anything admin-related (but only "Templates, stylesheets and scripts for the admin control panel", not the control panel itself). In every install instruction I read, the admin control panel should live in "http://localhost/processwire". But as there is no such folder, I don't get it ?

Hi Jan, thanks for your welcome and your quick reply! /wire and /site are both subdirectories, the structure is /htdocs/processwire-master/... .htaccess is also located within /processwire-master Should I move all files and folders up to /htdocs? Or install everything anew?

Hi everyone, I just installed PW on my old notebook (Win 8.1, fresh XAMPP installed) via the latest master zip package. Worked my way around issues with htaccess (details below*), ignored the missing GD2.0 library and ended up with a working default front end page, but no admin section. The standard link from the last installation page leads to a non-existing URL. I cannot not find any subdirectory called /processwire or /admin to enter the admin page URL manually. There *is* a subfolder called "wire", but no "index.php" therein. Any idea where to look next? Thanks! *htaccess changes: had to remove all restrictive lines from the default .htaccess file before I could proceed with the installation ( "require all denied" and "deny from all").

@Gideon So 4, and all of them require access to the file system in some way: 1) add module from folder/directory (available only in debug mode, requires changes to config.php) 2) add module from URL (same as above) 3) add uploaded module (same as above) 4) add module manually (requires access via FTP client)

@Gideon So Great idea, thank you! Tried immediately, but unfortunately I have limited options to install a new module via admin UI. As far as I can see, adding a module from URL requires changes to config.php beforehand (set debug mode to true)... Thanks anyway for your suggestion!

@da²You are right, it becomes clear that I will need to have access to php files via ftp. Thanks again!

@da² Thanks for your hint! In this case, the child page ("/contact-person") is not directly accessible via admin ui. In the parameters tab, I can only edit the name/url of the course page, not of its assigned contact person(s) page.

@monollonom Thanks for your advice! Yes, "allow URL segments" is checked. As suggested, I added all possible variants to the text area. Unfortunately, this does not change anything. That was definitely worth a try, thanks again ?

Hi @TomPich and thanks for your welcome and quick response! When I change the field content for the title from "contact person" to "contact persons", the link succesfully changes from "/contact-person" to "/contact-persons" automatically in frontend, as does the link text. So that's working as expected. However, when I click/follow the link, a page opens - complete with the usual standard layout and navigation elements of the website, but without the main content defined for that page. When entering the old, former URL (/contact-person) manually, I see that the old content is still there.

Hi @bernhard and thanks for your warm welcome! Indeed, I will only have access to template files in a few weeks from here. OK, now I see why the changes to the page do not show up in frontend. Seems I will simply have to wait for access via ftp client. Thanks a lot for clarifying! (I am hesitating to fiddle with the templates via tracy debugger, as I am new to both PW and the company I am working at, but thanks anyway for the hint!)

Hi everyone, I added a text field (c_element_text) to a template, went to a page which uses this template and then edited the text field's content. Although saved successfully, the text field does not show up in frontend. Any idea where to look to solve this? Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi everyone, I am new to PW and have to deal with a website built on PW for my new company. For the next weeks, I will only have access to the admin UI, but unfortunately not to php files etc (no ftp access yet). I already read a lot of introductions and tutorials, so I started to edit a few things that needed to be changed. Most of that worked out fine (PW is really easy to adjust to your needs). However, I stumbled across some issues that I could not solve. Hopefully you can give me a hint where to look next...: There is parent page called "courses". Every course listed therein is a child page, having each a list of contact persons (one or more). There is also a flag/checkbox that says "contact person exists" and a text field labelled "contact person title" which is set to "contact person" (singular) by default. In frontend, there is a link on that specific course's page (child page). The link text is "contact person", and "/contact-person" is the link. Now what I want to achieve is that whenever we have multiple contact persons, I would like to edit the field "contact person title", change its content to "contact persons" (plural) and have both the link and the link text in frontend changed accordingly. So far everything works fine. But: the (altered) link leads to a blank page now... Or, in other words: The page URL does not update together with the changed link and page title. Could this be caused by some caching or redirect mechanism? (E.g. module PagePathHistory is installed, but I do not dare to "delete all page path history" at this stage...) Thanks a lot for your thoughts!
