what happens when you disable ALL your plugins?
I just disabled them all and went to “visit site” and it still looks the same…
All formatting behind the scenes looks perfectly normal.
Did this happen after you created a new post?
It looks like the theme grabs the featured image from te hlatest post to be the background. Try removing the featured image from teh latest post
I will try – the post had been up for days and was displaying properly. I did some work on other pages and they were all working too.
Yesterday I logged in to check it out and it was all off. Today I tried the update and that is all. No other changes.
Will try to remove the featured image now.
Removed the image, updated and went to ‘view post’ – still got the bad formatting.
It looks like the menu and sidebars are all off… the post still reads properly but the links to pages have moved and are no longer formatted.
Is this something I can fix through those areas?
I just tried re-installing my plugins and jetpack came back with this:
Your website needs to be publicly accessible to use Jetpack: site_inaccessible
Error Details: The Jetpack server was unable to communicate with your site http://footprints-and-photos.com [IXR -32300: transport error: http_request_failed Recv failure: Connection reset by peer]
Is this related or a separate issue?
Thanks for helping!
Ok – I have changed the theme and everything behaves itself. I deleted Publication, re-installed and activated and visited the site and it’s back to having problems.
Is there any way to reset code for the theme incase something has been altered and that’s what is changing the layout?
it looks good from here š
you don’t have a child theme of Publications do you?
It might be possible to delete any rows in the database that the theme added, but the theme code doesn’t change with the options. After all, this theme doesn’t have many options. But if you want to try
step 1: backup the database
let me know when you have done that and I’ll tell you the next step.
I don’t have a child theme.
Can you tell me how to back up? I’m sorry but I’m new to this…
Actually the site looks fine here too. Clear your browser cache and take a look again.
as for backups go read https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
I’d cleared my browser and YES it is now working!!!
Thanks for all the advice – going to go backup now!
