    Thanks for your reply!

    Right as we speak I play w/ docker. I will try to create a new “home” for our server. And maybe thanks to docker, this will be more robust as years go by and PHP versions evolve.

    Thanks a lot for your reply!

    This is the list of installed plugins. I have just deactivated (but not deleted) all except “media-cleaner”. And had the same result. Does it matter if the plugins are still there, even if they are deactivated?

    
    akismet
    authldap
    better-search-replace
    clipboard-images-premium
    duplicate-post
    easy-bootstrap-shortcodes
    easy-theme-and-plugin-upgrades
    enlighter
    index.php
    media-cleaner
    post-types-order

    tinymce-code-element
    wordpress-html5-shower-presentation.git
    wp-add-mime-types
    wp-updates-acknowledger-plugin
    

    UPDATE: looking at /var/log/apache2/error.log, I notice:

    
    [Mon Mar 23 08:45:33 2020] [error] [client 192.168.100.201] PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '[' in /data/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/media-cleaner/views/menu-screen.php on line 16,
    

    This kind of error: I’ve seen quite often lately, while trying to install various plugins. “Unexpected [“. I thought maybe it comes from the fact that I have PHP 5.3? I tried w/o success to upgrade to 5.6. Will try again this week to reinstall in a Docker container, that will hopefully make my life easier when dealing w/ deps.

    It’s been a long time since I’ve written code in PHP. But looking at line 16, I don’t see new syntax or so, that would maybe not be supported by older PHP.

    Best regards,
    Cristian

    Thank you catacaustic,

    I started digging based on your suggestion. Apparently every template from a theme includes get_header(), get_footer(); and besides this, themes have theme specific ways of including sidebars.

    I used a child theme. However, I did not override the template (which would have meant copying/pasting. I have inserted a JS that hides the blocks that don’t interest me.

    Best regards,
    Cristian.
