I found some Avada CSS styles and meta tags in your header. Looks like something’s still fuzzeling around with functions.php (or header.php). Did you already check for any remaining Avada files on the server? If not, see if you can remove anything Avada-related using your trusty FTP programme?
Hey Emily, thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, and I really mean unfortunately, I have no idea on how to do any of that. I don’t know how to use FTP with WordPress, to search out the header.php file, etc. I was hoping there was just some way to just reset this situation by finding a default option. Sorry.
If I went in and deleted these extra pages, one by one, would that work?
Okay, what I did was to go into the “Pages” page and I manually deleted all the non-capitalized page names. The capitalized names were what I entered originally before switching to Avada. Once I did that all my old info repopulated the site. I have no idea why, how, what, where, or when, but it worked out…I guess. No idea. But on a positive note it seems back to where it was when the “Great Avada Experiment” occurred. Thanks for your help.
I was just about to answer your question about deleting all the extra pages, and urge you not to do it, if you don’t know what you’re doing. Oh God, I hope it really is alright.
Actually…my WordPress site is back to where I originally had it before “the dark times” with Avada! 😉 If you don’t mind, please re-check out my site http://thecollectiblescafe.com and let me know if you think what I did was okay — I think it works just fine as all functionality has returned. I’ve been able to add and delete entries, pages, and links just fine. I’d very much welcome your thoughts. Thanks!
It certainly looks better at first glance. 😀
I’m guessing the oversized sidebar is not an Avada issue?
If you come across anything else Avada-related it might be best to ask around in the Avada support forum, since Avada don’t openly share their code like WordPress do.
When you mention the oversized sidebar, do you mean the Social Networking sidebar? Or something else?
That is way too funny. And, may I add, pretty cool how you did that! I really have to learn that type of skill! Actually, the size of my Social Networking sidebar was the least of my worries today seeing where the day started with my WordPress site. If there’s no way to adjust that size, I can live with it especially seeing an hour ago my website was in pretty bad shape. Thank you so very much for your assistance today. I really appreciate it. You really made my day today a much brighter one!
Happy to help!
(And what I did was take a screen shot, import it into Photoshop, hit T, write “that thing ->”, save, and upload to imgur. No hard skills required, lol.)
