 * Given this error message, something could be mis-configured on your hosting account.
 * Since your web host [Hostinger](https://www.hostinger.com/) has access to your
   WordPress installation, including the database and all the files, I would see
   if they can help you safely upgrade WordPress.

 * Thanks for sharing the logs. That error seems to be similar to [the one experienced by this previous forum poster](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-dead-lock-error/),
   so maybe you would like to try [the fix that seemed to work for them](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-dead-lock-error/#post-15707846).

 * I see! Thanks for clarifying. It looks like you are using [Optimole](https://optimole.com/)
   to process your images. Let’s look at one example:
 * For this post – [https://knewsgr.com/2024/07/01/review-aria-glow-the-asian-and-korean-pop-culture-music-event/](https://knewsgr.com/2024/07/01/review-aria-glow-the-asian-and-korean-pop-culture-music-event/)
    - The front page thumbnail is – [https://ml5uhqjiebyr.i.optimole.com/w:400/h:200/q:mauto/rt:fill/g:ce/ig:avif/https://knewsgr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/IMG_0682.jpg](https://ml5uhqjiebyr.i.optimole.com/w:400/h:200/q:mauto/rt:fill/g:ce/ig:avif/https://knewsgr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/IMG_0682.jpg)
    - The image on the post is – [https://ml5uhqjiebyr.i.optimole.com/w:816/h:458/q:mauto/ig:avif/https://knewsgr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/IMG_0682.jpg](https://ml5uhqjiebyr.i.optimole.com/w:816/h:458/q:mauto/ig:avif/https://knewsgr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/IMG_0682.jpg)
    - If you look at the URLs above, you can see that your front-page thumbnail 
      is being rendered at `400x200` pixels, and the image on your post is being
      rendered at `816x458` pixels.
 * Thus, it looks like Optimole is doing some cropping and resizing for you here,
   and if you noticed your front page images becoming blurry recently, [the support forum for the Optimole WordPress plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/optimole-wp/)
   may be able to help.

 * I see. Thank you for clarifying. The issue could be the `<style></style>` tags
   not being picked up correctly when pasted into the editor. You can try adding
   the CSS to your site via your theme’s `Custom CSS` screen in the Customizer. 
   If your theme doesn’t have a `Custom CSS` option, you can try using the [Simple Custom CSS and JS](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-js/)
   plugin.
 * I used the said plugin and added this Custom CSS snippet and activated it on 
   the site:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       .textimageblockwrap {  display: flex;  flex-wrap: wrap;  margin-bottom: 20px;}.textimageblockwrap > div {  flex: 1 1 50%;  padding: 1rem;  box-sizing: border-box;}.img-container {  display: flex;  align-items: center;  justify-content: center;}.img-container img {  max-width: 100%;  height: auto;  max-height: 350px;}
       ```
   
 * I then added the following HTML in the editor:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <div class="textimageblockwrap"><div><h2>Feedback vs Zero feedback</h2>Canor Virtus M1 enables instant switching between the connection with the feedback or with zero global feedback. This has an influence on the overall performance of the power amplifier which results in a different listening experience.</div><div class="img-container"><img src="https://www.canor-audio.com/thumbs/460x340-drop-90/42-3985-feedback.jpg" alt="Feedback vs Zero feedback" /></div></div><div class="textimageblockwrap"><div class="img-container"><img src="https://www.canor-audio.com/thumbs/460x340-drop-90/42-3985-feedback.jpg" alt="Feedback vs Zero feedback" /></div><div><h2>Feedback vs Zero feedback</h2>Canor Virtus M1 enables instant switching between the connection with the feedback or with zero global feedback. This has an influence on the overall performance of the power amplifier which results in a different listening experience.</div></div>
       ```
   
 * This seemed to work locally for me (see screenshot): [https://d.pr/i/XwLvNy](https://d.pr/i/XwLvNy)
 * If you’d rather not add separate Custom CSS to your site, you can also define
   the styles inline, though this may become cumbersome if you ever want to change
   the styles across all your products:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <div style="display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; margin-bottom: 20px;">  <div style="flex: 1 1 50%; padding: 1rem; box-sizing: border-box;">    <h2>Feedback vs Zero feedback</h2>    <p>Canor Virtus M1 enables instant switching between the connection with the feedback or with zero global feedback. This has an influence on the overall performance of the power amplifier which results in a different listening experience.</p>  </div>  <div style="flex: 1 1 50%; padding: 1rem; box-sizing: border-box; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center;">    <img src="https://www.canor-audio.com/thumbs/460x340-drop-90/42-3985-feedback.jpg" alt="Feedback vs Zero feedback" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto; max-height: 350px;">  </div></div><div style="display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; margin-bottom: 20px;">  <div style="flex: 1 1 50%; padding: 1rem; box-sizing: border-box; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center;">    <img src="https://www.canor-audio.com/thumbs/460x340-drop-90/42-3985-feedback.jpg" alt="Feedback vs Zero feedback" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto; max-height: 350px;">  </div>  <div style="flex: 1 1 50%; padding: 1rem; box-sizing: border-box;">    <h2>Feedback vs Zero feedback</h2>    <p>Canor Virtus M1 enables instant switching between the connection with the feedback or with zero global feedback. This has an influence on the overall performance of the power amplifier which results in a different listening experience.</p>  </div></div>
       ```
   
 * Hopefully this should give you a starting point to work from!

 * This is true! Good catch. 💯 🙏🏾
 * If your theme does not have an additional CSS option, you can try adding this
   custom CSS via a plugin like [Simple Custom CSS and JS](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-js/).

 * Could you please link to the thumbnails you think are fine and the ones that 
   you think are blurry? You can right click the thumbnails and select `Copy Image
   Link` to get their image URLs.
 * I ask because none of the thumbnails currently on the frontpage of [https://knewsgr.com](https://knewsgr.com/)
   seem to look much worse than the rest to me. They all look around the same quality.

 * Do the site speed issues coincide with times of high load on your site? If so,
   you may need to look into [WordPress Optimization](https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/performance/optimization/),
   including caching.
 * > Also sometimes I get PHP error in Query monitor: strip_tags(): Passing null
   > to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated+
 * Some PHP code on your site (probably in a plugin or theme) is calling PHP’s [`strip_tags()` function](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php)
   in a way that is deprecated. This looks like a deprecation warning only and should
   be fixed by the plugin/theme developer in a future update of the said plugin 
   or theme. It is unlikely that this is slowing down your site.

 * The [WordPress Block Editor](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/wordpress-block-editor/)
   will make this super easy, as the [Media & Text Block](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/media-text-block/)
   does exactly what you want here, and that too with just a few clicks and no fiddling
   with HTML and CSS.

 * The folks over at [the WooCommerce plugin support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce/)
   may be able to help you with this if you can detail exactly what issue you have
   with the Block Editor + WooCommerce products. If you can get your WooCommerce
   site working with the Block Editor, it will likely make future WordPress maintenance
   and updates much easier, as the Block Editor is the default way of doing things
   now.

   and/or [the BA Book Everything support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ba-book-everything/).

 * [1 year, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/empty-space-in-desktop-view-due-to-post-shown-in-cards/#post-17892078)
 * One way forward then is to look at the theme yourself and try and figure out 
   what’s happening when it does this:
 * > On website homepages there are cards on my website in which content post or
   > categories is shown but sometimes card are creating empty spaces when post 
   > are not equal to other card.
 * The height of these cards (the theme seems to call them _panels_) is likely controlled
   by [CSS](https://www.w3schools.com/css/) and you can try setting a `height: 100%`
   attribute to the`.panel` class:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       .panel {  border-radius: 6px;  box-shadow: 0 .5em 1em -.125em rgba(10,10,10,.1),0 0 0 1px rgba(10,10,10,.02);  font-size: 1rem;  height: 100%;}
       ```
   
 * Editing your site’s CSS this way [via the Firefox page inspector](https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/page_inspector/how_to/examine_and_edit_css/index.html)
   seemed to fix the issue locally for me.
 * To try this fix on your site, [find your theme’s `style.css` file](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/main-stylesheet-style-css/)
   and see where the change can be made. **Please be sure to backup your theme before
   making any changes to it.**

 * You should be able to do this by adding the phone number to a Text Widget.

 * You can look into using a [popup](https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/popup/)
   plugin for this. If you just want to link to your certificate and don’t mind 
   it opening in a new browser tab instead of a popup, you can add the logo using
   an Image Widget and then link to your certificate using the Image Widget’s `Link
   to:` field.

   this too is a theme issue, as it is your theme that formats your site’s content

   is created by them, they are the best point of contact for help with it.
