Company I work for have a super old theme that's not been updated in years, there's loads of features I can't use, for example YOAST doesn't work, when writing a page you have to type in the 'text' area rather than 'visual' and I can't customise the design of the site at all, I get a critical notice.

So, I would like to update this, my preference would be to have a theme included in wordpress but I'm concerned a lot of the content is written into the code/theme and I'm going to lose it all.

What should I do?

I use a wordpress theme/skin called Play, link here: http://lethemes.com/demo/play/

On newer versions of WordPress past version 5.4.16, it starts breaking on the setup portion in it's custom wordpress menu, mainly the save and reset buttons on the settings vanish and it become impossible to change any of the settings.

If someone can look at it for me and give me fixed files..., that'd be great. I know the above link has you join some crappy theme site to download, so I've reuploaded the clean files here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nG2O1DYSYIL5c3CFksmmj6kpprd3WYSv/view?usp=drive_link

Edit: Whelp a discussion elseSubreddit says I'm better of spending my money on a new theme then trying to fix this one. x.x Sorry for the bother folks!

I’m looking for advice on how to make the process as smooth as possible.

Hello!
I’ve noticed a lot of discussions here about sites getting scraped by AI bots (like ChatGPT’s crawler), so I built a Free, lightweight plugin to help protect your content: AI Scraping Protector : https://wordpress.org/plugins/ai-scraping-protector/

Why I built it:
My own blog was getting hammered by 5k+ bot requests/month, and existing solutions were either too complex or expensive. This is my attempt to solve that problem for the community.

It’s 100% free and open-source (no upsells!). If you try it, I’d love feedback on:

1. False positives (if it blocks legit traffic).
2. Features you’d want added (e.g., custom bot lists).

Disclaimer: I’m the developer, but I’ll never charge for core functionality. I'm just trying to solve a problem many of us face! If you like it, give me a like or thumbs 👍

As heading says what I need, I need directions where can I find good ones, just googling provides me all kind of themes, cheap and basic ones, but I need really good one with rooms, booking and other thingsc and of course, to look elegant, with budget between 100-200$.

Any recommendations or websites where I can look for it to narrow search?

Hi all, after taking your advice a couple of weeks ago I bought Salient and installed the demo content I wanted for a new site build.

I use Elementor Pro, so have that installed too, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to edit the site / pages with it - everything is in in text edit mode. I did a search and disabled the salient WP Bakery, but all pages are still in text edit mode, exactly as they were before.

Can anyone help me with the process please? Would be really grateful if so. Thanks in advance

My site was recently updated and the pics to represent each post are widescreen instead of square now. 

Found where to fix it but can't find the line in the .css/.php anywhere. I know it's a quick fix I just can't find this string.

I want to redesign my personal site for two purposes. Paid is fine, I actually prefer being able to ask someone for support:

1. The main page will be a sort of bio/link landing page for the stuff I do around the web, my contract work, streaming, etc. I’d like to play with this grid layout of photos with buttons either superimposed over the bottom, or simply placed below the photo
2. I also want a decent blog, not just a landing page. Maybe a little layout customization and such, but not a deal breaker

Anyone know of anything? The main place I’ve been looking for themes is ThemeForest; is there a new hotness marketplace I should check out? Thanks for any recommendations.

Hi all,

I am looking to give my website a bit of an upgrade with a paid theme. I have been looking at ones such as "Godlike" "Eldrith" and "Youplay" but it seems the only way to purchase these is through the companies in the title.

However, looking at trustpilot there are SOO many negative reviews and comments recently. About accounts be locked, broken downloads, themes not updated for latest versions etc...

Is there anywhere reputable and trustworthy to purchase cool atmospheric themes?

Hey guys. I have a frustrating issue with my Elementor. When I try to edit (in the editor) the font size, color, spacing between items (in the case of the menu), the changes are not reflected live and directly within the editor. However, when I go to the final version (final version/frontend), they do appear. I’ve been trying to fix this issue for a while, but it persists.

Note: I’ve already cleared the cache plugins, regenerated CSS and data, and synchronized the library from Elementor’s settings. Despite this, the issue remains.

Any recommendations for a product review website? Of course, I would like it to have fast speed, SEO optimization, customizable, be easy to use and have support for any questions. I'd like to be able to build a page where the articles can easily be organized/scrolled through with images. I am looking for a flat one time fee vs a subscription.

Anyone know how to fix this navigation menu? I’d like for the navigation on mobile to hide the submenus until someone click the drop down arrow next to the menu items like Events and Donate. I followed Wordpress’ tutorial to create dropdown menus and they show up correctly on our desktop view but mobile view the submenus are all expanded. I use the theme Dorna as well.

Any suggestions for the best theme for making scrolling story-type pages similar to what https://www.vev.design/ and https://storymaps.com/ can do? Or the perfect combination of themes and plugins to roughly do similar things without coding? I'm hoping to find something that doesn't require a subscription that I can purchase once.

Hey everyone,

I'm a university student who's a bit tight on money right now and I need some web design client work in order to keep the bills running.

I keep things simple: I listen to what you need, create a website that works for your business/startup, and make sure you're happy with the result. No fancy jargon or pushy sales tactics.

I work with you step by step, show you my progress regularly, and don't consider the job done until you're genuinely satisfied. You only pay as we hit milestones we agree on upfront.

If you're curious about my work, I'm happy to share my portfolio or put you in touch with past clients. I mainly work with small businesses and entrepreneurs who need a solid online presence without the corporate price tag.

I m new in wordpress, I was designing mega menu for my e-commerce site in xstore e-commerce theme. I have made a mega menu for my e-commerce site & also added to the header but now the mega menu is showing but acting like a page, not a drop down menu. If anybody have a solution then please help me.

I can't see to get access to this part of the homepage to update the content?

It's a WP with Astra theme and Beaver editor. The designer has gone out of business and since editing any other page or part of the site is easy I must be missing a trick. Any help would be appreciated.

Built a custom theme with football predictions and analysis by AI. Used custom fields and wordpress api to post the articles. Your feedback would be much appreciated.

Hi. I'm running Qode Bridge Theme on Wordpress. My regular header looks like this...

transparent header

but go to tablet/mobile width and I get this. A white block running across the top.

white block header

I really hate the way the white block looks (fine with the mobile menu and centred logo). I'm not keen to abandon Bridge and have to re-do the site so is there any way to retain the transparency of the full width header on narrower screens? Thanks in advance.

i wanna make my own theme in wordpress, the thing is i don't know which to pick (block or classical)

what i want is to define my layout (either html or php, i'm comfortable in both) & like exactly as it should be (a navbar & a main section with sidebar containing categories & search & grid on the right with posted blogs )

idk if i should also add functionality about the theme like seo optimizations; blog searching; sorting by top posts & by which criteria i'll be judging top posts....
