Been trying and failing for several weeks to get the site I want, just not working out and looking to outsource. Looking to build a fairly standard news source / academic journal site that I can upload content to, have members and contributors for discussions.

I have the domain and the site theme / layout. From there I'm lost in the sauce. I'm looking for someone to help me build up the initial site, teach me the basics on how to manage users and upload content.

Any advise on finding the right support or if you wanna work a deal yourself please let me know. Small operation, first attempt at this. Appreciate it.

Hi there, I’m a newbie when it comes to website building & it’s almost been a year that I have been struggling with learning from having no prior experience. I haven’t been able to progress with building anything that I had hoped for on my little site. After purchasing the wrong subscription, (premium instead of business like they had recommended; but then after purchasing they indefinitely recommended business)… I’m almost certain that I’ve pretty much lost all my drive, patience & ability when it comes to going any further into this Wordpress ball I’ve created for myself. After just simply starting a Wix account & signing into it, I immediately wish I had done that from the get go… for someone like me, should I cut my losses & go for the Wix? Or do I continue to try learning the Wordpress Universe while battling severe frustration & self resentment…? Thanks, justmerely.me

I have a site designed to offer reading guides for discovering comic books. I use simple photo galleries (from Elementor).

This allows me to clearly display the books, and when you click on them you get the title and description of the book (which I basically put in the title and description of the image). But let's face it, the display is awful (sometimes even unreadable) and on the phone the gallery has only one column in portrait format (which can be improved by upgrading to the premium offer), which makes it a real pain to navigate through the guides.

Do you know of a solution that would allow me to have a gallery that's a little more pleasant to consult on a phone, and above all the possibility of creating a “product sheet” type display where, when you click on the comic's image, a pop-up rectangle or page opens up showing the image on the left and the info on the right (or underneath in the case of responsive).

I don't really want to put an e-commerce plugin when all I need is a better photo viewing overlay 😬.

That's it, I hope I've made myself clear. Don't hesitate to ask me for more info if you need it.

Hi, I've made a website that has a WooCommerce store and realized I need WC Fields Factory to help users customize the product. I was wondering if anyone can please suggest how to add a little more spacing between the buttons?

(The main issue was with the icons when you upload images for radio buttons but I figured out what was setting their sizes. To change it and still make it look good, I need to add spaces between the radio buttons)

Thank you so much!!

Are there any plugins available that will help me import a website into my current WP environment? I just realized that my decade old, inactive site was never deleted by the host; it would be nice to clone it, or at least import the components into a new WP environment and then slowly rebuild it.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I cancelled my hosting (trying to save money) and downloaded all the contents of my blog to reinstate it somewhere else later. This was at the beginning of August. Come to find out that maybe I didn’t export everything correctly because when I tried to import to Wordpress.com yesterday it said the files weren’t of the current type.

I have what seems to be a database export that, when unzipped, is a single data file that has all my posts and comments going back to 2006.

Its been a long time since I modified PHP or did any themes work - I’ve been on Wordpress for a long time - but I thought I followed the proper steps to grab everything before I left my host.

TL;DR - is there any hope that I could get my blog back up and running on a new host?

Hi everyone,

I've been struggling with a recurring issue on my website for the past couple of weeks and could really use some guidance. When users are logged in and visit the 'Edit Profile' section, a newsletter banner unexpectedly appears at the top of the page. Despite my efforts, I haven’t been able to locate or resolve the problem.

Before posting here, I’ve tried multiple approaches, including:

• Searching extensively online for a solution.
• Reaching out to the theme developers (I got the theme from Envato Elements) via email and Envato support. Unfortunately, I haven't received any responses for nearly two weeks now.
• Attempting to locate the banner via the WordPress theme editor, though since I’m not very familiar with coding, I haven't been able to pinpoint where it’s coming from.

I've attached a screenshot of the issue for reference: https://imgur.com/a/8hcV6gn

Additionally, I’ve created a demo account so you can check the issue live:

Login page: https://zettohomes.com/login-page/

Username: demo123

Password: demo@@@

Email: xecedo7345@abaot.com

Edit Profile Page (where the issue occurs after logging in): https://zettohomes.com/dashboard/?dashboard=profile

If anyone could point me in the right direction (or let me know which file might be hosting this banner), I'd really appreciate it. I'm open to any suggestions or advice.

Lastly, if this type of post is not allowed here, please let me know the appropriate place to ask for help. Thanks in advance!

We publish 2 posts per week that we want pushed out to subscribers, but we also post other stuff throughout the week that we don’t want notifications to go out for.

I’m aware of the option in Jetpack to enable/disable Newsletters, and while we’ve been using that for a bit, I can’t help but think there’s a better solution for this. Ideally, we’d love an option to enable these notifications/newsletters from within each post.

Problem is, I can’t find anything when I search for plugins, hence me asking here. Any help would be very much appreciated!

I have been getting spam emails through my wordpress contact form but because the sender email is mail@mywebdomain.com I cannot block the sender and still recieve legitimate form leads from coming in. Is there a way to block by Sender Name either in wordpress or my apple mail?

My website menu is driving me insane. For some reason, on the hamburger drop-down menu, the text for the pages with dropdowns underneath them is white on a white background. I cannot figure out how to change this color. I think it might be a highlight or hover color. Maybe it's something in the CSS (I had someone else build my website years ago and am making the updates myself).

My website is this: https://braveafrica.com/ And I just want to make the menu text all one color.

I'm working on refreshing my portfolio site, and I have a specific design in mind for my "About Me" section. I want a sort of comic book look, where the textbox is slanted on the right side, and has an image matching that slant to the right of it. I haven't been able to find anything in my searches, how would I be able to accomplish something like that? I'm assuming I will need some sort of custom CSS code? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello all,

I am a professional photographer who just switched to wordpress instead of wix. Site dev. has been going pretty well but I have run into a problem that i am unable to fix. The top container (or section) of each of my pages, non of the button work in that top container. Then when you scroll down to the next container, the buttons and links then work. I have tried to delete, refresh, and duplicate the containers in all possible methods. I am not sure if I can share the exact site (it is public) so that you can see what I mean, but if anyone can help I would appreciate it.

Can someone help in explaining which is better? I’m confused on what the best route is.

I have a website abcd.com and I want to combine another site 1234.com , the URL structure should now be abcd.com/1234/about us. The other site has about 15 pages so I would just be recreating them in the main site under a parent page.

I’m trying to figure out if this is the best route or should I be creating an entire directory instead of just new pages within the main site.

Hello everyone. I can't load the wordpress backend home page and if I try to load a new theme the page remains loading endlessly. How can I solve this?

Hey folks! I apologize in advance for using the most basic language when communicating about this. I'm quite terrible with WordPress, and I'm trying to update a website I designed 10 years ago. I'm super out of touch with the platform. 

My issue is that I'm trying to upload media. When I do so, there is an error that says, "The server cannot process the image. This can happen if the server is busy or does not have enough resources to complete the task. Uploading a smaller image may help. Suggested maximum size is 2560 pixels." And in Visual Composer > Settings > System Status, it says under Memory limit, "Memory limit should be 256M; currently it is 128M." I've got some media already uploaded from 10 years ago but now there's an error.

I read something about "making sure the memory limit in php.ini is set to memory_limit = 256M;" but I got lost and couldn't figure out how to get to the php.ini thing. Also, I'm not sure if I've even got access to it. I only have access to the WordPress dashboard and everything on the internet like that... I'm not the host and I don't have access to the server. I wouldn't even know what to do with those things. 

Is there any hope for me? 

Note 1: I was about to post this yesterday and after about 20 minutes of trying to word this all properly, I tried just one more time to upload, and it worked. I uploaded one image and kind of quit for the day. It's the next day and I'm back to not being able to upload anything (same errors). I can also confirm that the images I'm trying to upload are not large files and are under the 2560px limit.

Note 2: As I'm writing this, Reddit is showing an error message that says, "Server error. Try again later." I have no idea what's happening; I've never experienced so many server errors in my life, lol. Is this connected to the above problem? What's happening!?

Note 3: I don't know if this helps, but I'm using a MacBook Pro. 

Hi Everyone,

I need a small help. I recently started wordpress development and i am facing a small issue of the webpage not being properly aligned to the phone screens and even on the PC. Can anyone please help me understand where am I going wrong and how do I address this issue.

The website link is www.thedesigntheory.in

Really seeking some help and guidance here.

Thanks & Regards

Navya

On our homepage, we have black menu: https://divadlodip.cz/
On other pages, menu goes white, thus it looks like it is not there: https://divadlodip.cz/autoteatro

I am not sure where to change this. Any help?

We have a new website so we are setting up the plugins.

We generated a new license key for Crocoblock specifically for this website. However, we received this error when we entered the license key: Your license is missing. Please check your key again.

We might missed something or I don't know. Because we checked in the Crocoblock account, it is working.

I'm making a website for a client and i have bought the explorer plan.Does wordpress do the hosting by itself or do i need to buy a host somewhere else?

This may involve woocommerce too, I’m not a developer, but I need something real simple, and hopefully the solution is too.

When a user logs in and is greeted with the dashboard, it says:

Hello John Smith, (not John Smith? Log out) From your account dashboard you can view… bla bla bla

Basically I need it to also state their username, which on our website is used as an ID number.

So it would be: Hello John Smith [100200], (not John Smith? Log out)

Sounds simple but I know it could be a pain. The username could go anywhere really, before the text, after all of it, doesn’t matter it just needs to be on the dashboard page.

Anyone have ideas?

I am a novice and no clue what I'm doing. I have a mobile sticky phone number that shows on desktop / tablet but when the mobile view comes up on my phone (iphone 10) there's no number button to call which is not good if I'm trying to solicit business. I want the landing page to be able to have a phone number to click on.

Any help would be much appreciated.

There are ads appearing on my site that I am not sure if they are related to Google AdSense. My website is AwesomeTraveler.blog. Google AdSense keep refusing to reactivate my account due to low quality contents, so the ads are not active at the moment, but there are ads showing up.

The ads are on the home page. How can I figure out the source of the ads and delete them?

Hi Everyone,

I have a site that keep getting malware attacks. My team has done almost everything to prevent it getting hacked but nothing is helping at all. It has two issues

1. Site gets redirect to spammy sites
2. Spammy links gets inserted in the text of the site

I went on upwork and fiverr but no one there could give me the reason why site got hacked in the first place and how they will resolve the issues and make sure it wouldn't get hacked easily. All they are planning to do is install couple of plugins.

We are using wordfence free version and have all the necessary security setting enabled.

Only thing that prevent site getting hacked is disabling the file edit permission that is a hassle because every time I need to update the plugin I'll have to enable the file edit permission and do the update.

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Hello everyone! I built a website but I’m looking for someone who would be willing to teach me how to set up Discord Oauth2? I have a bot for my gaming community already set up and would like to use it for this, but am willing to do it differently. Please let me know if you are willing to help 🙏🙏

I'm a total newbie here, so please be kind. I'm sure there are tons of things I'm doing at the moment that are completely janky because I'm not familiar with how code is organized and executed in WP / web dev in general. I'm used to working with Java and Python in JetBrains IDEs, and I'm totally out of my depth here and haven't established a good workflow.

Anyway.

I'm just trying to do a redirect after the user submits the form. Like how could I possibly eff this up? The form has been working fine. I just did it with a custom plugin and PHP-generated HTML and made a shortcode for it. It's submitting to the database correctly (verified on phpMyAdmin) and I'm trying my best to use best practices for security (sanitization, prepared statements, nonces, etc.). I have already created and used three or four plugins successfully using shortcodes in this way.

However, with this plugin, when I submit the form, I get the error:

[18-May-2024 00:45:26 UTC] PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/*******/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-styles.php:290) in /home/*******/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1438

My understanding of this error:

• It refers to the fact that HTML output has been issued before attempting to modify the headers. IOW the request has already been sent and can't be modified.
• It commonly results from unintentional whitespaces before or after the PHP section, echo statements, displayed debug statements, or anything else that would cause premature HTML output.

Troubleshooting steps:

• Deactivated ALL other plugins (there were about a dozen active).
• Ensured that a default theme is being used (I'm just using Twenty Twenty).
• Ensured there are no extra characters before "<?php" in my plugin file (there is only one file in the plugin - not great for separation of concerns, I know; something I need to work on with web dev).
• Added output buffering to wp-config.php (ob_start(); / ob_end_flush();).
• Avoided closing my PHP code with "?>" since the file consists only of PHP anyway.
• Ensured that plugin is active and being called (debug statements at beginning and end of file are logged).

The above error points to class-wp-styles.php:290, which looks like this:

else {
  echo $cond_before;
  echo $tag;
  $this->print_inline_style( $handle );
  echo $cond_after;
}

Line 290 is "echo $tag". If echo statements can cause this error, I don't know why line 289 wouldn't trigger it, but at any rate I don't know how much this code really tells me. The problem must be elsewhere because this is a core WP file, and I've never touched it. In fact, I haven't done ANYTHING with styling or themes AT ALL. I am just doing the basics and will do design stuff later.

I'm not sure where else to go from here. What other debugging steps can I take?

Hey guys I recently thought of a idea of creating a website for that sells workout plans and I wanted to make it multivendor so every user would put post their plans and sell them online directly through my page and dont get any commissionfrom from that. I also wanted to give the ability to the user to make their own appointments at the front end. Yeah so...I've found out that I can't really do that using crocoblock main plugins at front end but I found out I can use dokan for that but I don't want to make all the forms again for the users. Now the questions begin. I would like to know if anyone else done that before or know how it's done , how can I use dokan for only workout plans part and the apportionments part inside a jetformbuilder and if you have any YouTube tutorial or any tutorials in general I would really appreciate it

Background: I've been tasked with transferring a wordpress site from wordpress.com to a hosted version and keep the domain. Where I'm struggling is the previous person used AIO Migration/Backup plugin and as the site is around 2gb I'm being plagued with issues. Any help greatly appreciated.

1. I have a dummy site setup on a web server with full FTP and myAdmin access
2. I can't get AIO backup to upload at all apart from extracting the files with Traktor and uploading via FTP
3. I can't seem to figure out how to get the sql to match up from the AIO backup dump, it just fails every time I try to import to myAdmin, do I need to clean up any of the extracted SQL prior to uploading?

I don't have a huge amount of technical skill apart from having migrated a few sites successfully from hosted to hosted with great success, but this seems way harder from .com

Has anyone had experience with my scenario?
