  • Yes, you can utilize the functionality provided by WordPress core to enhance your theme. I’d recommend looking at https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/ to learn about theme development and it should give you some pointers how to enhance an existing theme by creating what’s called a ‘Child Theme’.

    @penandq6 Yes, they are very likely related to the loop functionality missing from the template. When I browse to one of your posts such as https://www.sequenex.com/?p=218 I get the same page that isn’t outputting the content.

    I’d start with a single page template, and when you get that working copy/paste to the other templates. There are some examples on the WordPress page about loops I linked to or you could try copy/pasting the example code on the bottom of the page at https://www.wpbeginner.com/glossary/loop/ into your template.

    It’s a bit technical if you’re not used to modifying templates but I’m crossing my fingers that you’re able to get it working by following these examples.

    @hiheaven01 I’m glad you were able to create a workaround. It looks like it’s a bug with your naming the taxonomy ‘Locations’ instead of ‘locations’ when you are calling register_taxonomy( 'Locations', 'post', $args );. When I try this locally I get an error when trying to add the locations to the navigation menu as you described.

    Doing a search in the WordPress Trac, I actually see a ticket to resolve this, but it hasn’t been touched in a while. If you feel ambitious enough to create a patch to fix the issue in WordPress core, it could be a good opportunity to get involved. https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16600

    It looks like renaming from ‘Locations’ to ‘locations’ in the code will create a warning on each of the taxonomy terms, so I’d recommend to stick with the workaround with the CPT UI plugin unless you want to recreate the terms and associate them with the data on your site.

    @msawebeditor Thank you for providing those screenshots – very helpful for understanding what is happening. The screenshots don’t appear to be default WordPress functionality, so it’s likely something custom implemented into your theme incompatible with WordPress 5.0. I’d recommend looking for the support forum for the theme you’re using on https://www.wordpress.org/themes/ and see if somebody there can assist you.

    I’d also recommend updating your themes and plugins before updating WordPress core in case some updates make your theme compatible with the latest version of WordPress.

    It’s worth mentioning that WordPress is currently on version 6.0, so it could be worthwhile to update to version 6 instead of troubleshooting for 5. The plugin or theme being used may be incompatible with older versions of WordPress.

    Best of luck, and I hope you can pinpoint the issue.

    Hi @penandq6, I can try to help with your issue. If I understand correctly, you have a custom template created for every page, and you’d like to use one of these templates to be able to display an archive page to list your posts, right?

    Generally, archive templates are written differently than post or page templates, and depending on how the developer writes the templates; they may not support archive pages. The templates should utilize what’s referred to as The Loop, which adds logic to the page to output all the posts that match a page. See the page I linked to for information about how that works, but my guess is that logic needs to be added to the templates for it to work.

    Otherwise, it appears you configured your site correctly to use the custom template for the archive. If I go to https://www.sequenex.com/category/articles/, it acts the same way as /blog/, so once you figure out what to add to the template, it should start working.

    FWIW, the Developing with WordPress forum may be more appropriate for this question, as it doesn’t necessarily have to do with something broken in core WordPress. However, I see this question was moved from there, so perhaps somebody on that forum thought otherwise.

    @sangredeespana Your screenshot doesn’t appear to be functionality provided from WordPress core and is likely from a plugin or theme you’re using on your site. I’d recommend reaching out to them with any questions about how to make changes to that specific functionality.

    Hi @johannes999 , this doesn’t seem to be a question specific to fixing WordPress, but rather about using CSS. I’d recommend asking the question on a different forum. Perhaps Developing with WordPress or StackOverflow?

    @boomer2020 It sounds like you are on a multisite environment and will be moving the blogs from your live site to your new temporary site, correct?

    Generally, the timing of when you do an export and import into a new site depends on your tolerance for possibly having out-of-date content or double-posting content. For example, if the blogs on your live site are frequently edited, you should wait until as close as possible to the time you want to launch the new site (but before the new site is switched to be the live site).

    A strategy you could use would be letting blog editors know there is a content freeze at a particular time; during that time, no edits would be made. That would be when you move the blog database tables and content from wp-content/uploads to the new site and then switch it over to live.

    If you wait to export the blogs after the site is switched over, there may be downtime on those blogs if they share a domain name with the main site.

    Best of luck, and I hope that helps.

    Hi @ilyass28, if I’m understanding your question correctly, you have a version of an image on your production website that is referring to http when it should be using https, correct? It’s worth noting that even if an image is removed from the media gallery, your posts and pages may still reference the image. I’d recommend doing a search for that image name in the posts search and see if you can determine which post or page is referencing the image.

    It’s also possible the image is referenced from your theme or a default setting in Elementor (though I’m not familiar with that plugin). In any case, my guess is there’s a stray value and if you can do a search from your WordPress admin, you’ll likely locate the source.

    Best,
    Ben

    Hi Ed, while there isn’t a specific requirement to update your version of WordPress and plugins, it’s highly recommended to do so regularly. Over time security vulnerabilities can be discovered and if you are using an older version of WordPress, there’s a higher likelihood your site is insecure.

    At the very least, be sure to apply security patches if you don’t intend on updating the major WordPress version frequently and keep your plugins up to date.

    A suggestion would be to keep the version and plugins updated but first do so on a staging or local environment to ensure there won’t be any issues when doing so on a live site.

    @vimalsweans, I’d recommend posting this question in the WooCommerce support forums at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce/ and see if somebody there could help you as this form is specific to questions with core WordPress functionality. They are better equipped to answer your question about WooCommerce.

    Cheers

    @simojoint2 The primary category functionality isn’t something that WordPress core provides by default. Typically, that functionality is added via a plugin such as Yoast. I’d suggest looking into which plugin was providing the functionality and making sure that plugin is enabled and is working properly.

    It sounds like you’ve taken the steps I would take if I were troubleshooting as well. To recap, you’ve verified that your htaccess is set up correctly, the SSL plugin is disabled, and the site URLs are all pointing to http. Unless there’s some code in your theme that explicitly redirects to https in the admin, I don’t have many more suggestions for steps to troubleshoot.

    I might suggest focusing on keeping the site on HTTPS and downgrading your plugin version to the version that was previously working. You can download older versions at https://wordpress.org/plugins/really-simple-ssl/advanced/. I know I mentioned this earlier, but the plugin support page will likely be able to provide you better support if SSL is broken.

    I hope you’re able to get to the bottom of this soon.

    @hetjou I’m not familiar with the specifics of how WordFence works, but you may want to ask this question on their support forum at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordfence/. Somebody may have asked a similar question at some point that may help you out.

    Similarly with the WooCommerce 505 error, you may have better luck on the WooCommerce support forum at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce/. My guess is there may be another plugin active that expects WooCommerce to be active and is causing an issue when it’s deactivated.

    Good luck and hopefully you’re able to find a resolution soon.

    Yes, that’s my guess as well @melissaglobal. I’m not familiar with the method you’re using for switching between sites, but your thetroublewithfreedom site is hosted on wordpress.com and has a different domain from the globalroaming.at site, which can cause issues if you try to stay logged in between two sites.

    If it’s a question about configuring your sites on WordPress.com, you might want to ask on their support forums at https://wordpress.com/support/

    Good luck!
