Here is the latest. If I change the default return address away from the default
wordpress@domainname.comand over to a Gmail account, then it will deliver.This temporarily pleases the client. But eventually someone will notice the mail is coming from an account not affiliated with the client. There is a problem making this plugin work in the real world.
Like other site managers, I am seeing that WordFence is no longer sounding alarms.
I understand that plugins need to initiate processes. The industry expectation is that the better-known plugins will be designed to peacefully co-exist in the WordPress environment.
Thank you @marius_codeinwp for checking on my status.

In reply to: Site did work, now CSS missing and links brokenTo minimize disrupting the user experience, I found a locally-cached (on an iPhone) version of the home page. I dumped that HTML into index.html and uploaded via FTP. Then I changed my .htaccess to point to this new index file instead of index.php. (Since all attempts to load index.php result in defaultwebpage.cgi.) Then I created a custom “Home” link on the primary menu that points to index.htm.
After several days, I expect to be able to restore the normal setup.
Greatly appreciate the advice in this forum. Hope this helps other developers.

In reply to: Site did work, now CSS missing and links brokenResearch indicates the re-direct to default cgi can be stored in the users’ browser or with the ISP. They suggested testing with a VPN connection. When I did that, the home page loaded normally.
One source suggested the following, but it has no effect on non-VPN browsers that retrieve defaultwebpage.cgi …

OK site is now 90% restored. The only lingering problem is that the home page will not load and goes tocgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgiinstead. Everything looks fine in Admin/Pages. Reset permalinks x2 and also switched between Plain and Post Name. And tinkered with various redirect plugins.But I can see the homepage when inside Admin/Appearance/Customize

In reply to: Site did work, now CSS missing and links brokenSigned on with my work login now, but I’m the post author.
@rossmitchell Tried your suggestion, plus this …
define('WP_HOME','http://'. $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']); define('WP_SITEURL','http://'. $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']);BUT download the wp-config I just uploaded, noticed the contents are completely garbled. Tested this several times. As soon as I FTP a fresh version of the wp-config file, then download, it’s been converted to gibberish. Only the leading
<?phplooks normal.Started fresh new wp-config and replaced the unique Keys and Salts, and added this…
define( 'WP_ALLOW_REPAIR', true );No more garbling, but I still have the plain ugly page when I hit the URL for the site.
Thoughts?

In reply to: Replace image on several pages with PHP or CSS?@rossmitchell thanks for responding. Link below is an example of commercial section where the house picture needs to be swapped. As mentioned, the usual methods do not seem to work for me.

In reply to: [CAOS | Host Google Analytics Locally] Source of call for external ga.js ?From the lack of response, apparently there is no tool to diagnose the source of that call. I will need to open the PHP files.

In reply to: [CAOS | Host Google Analytics Locally] Source of call for external ga.js ?To the best of my knowledge, tracking down the plugin will mean searching through the PHP code etc? I will do that if it is the fastest approach.

In reply to: [Sydney] How insert logo image in subtitle area?Last time I looked into this, I re-saved the functions.php file and now everything works fine. Apparently a problem with the cache. We need better diagnostic tools for WordPress.
Thanks Kharis for helping me.
