 * Hi [@sirrahikkala](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sirrahikkala/). I’ve tested
   and can confirm that WooSidebars is working with WordPress 6.5. I’ve gone ahead
   and updated the “Tested up to” version in the plugin’s readme file to reflect
   this.

 * > What tasks pending? I dont see what you’re talking about.
 * If there are tasks pending, they will be at /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-admin
   at your store. From Query Monitor, it looks like there are several tasks which
   may be done, though need their checkbox checked to be marked as complete (removing
   the additional queries being run).
 * > Also is there a way to roll back the data base version to 6.6.1 form 6.7?
 * There is a way to adjust the WooCommerce database version number, though it shouldn’t
   be necessary and shouldn’t be blocking your store from running.
 * There is a list of all database options at /wp-admin/options.php. This is a last-
   resort approach, used only if the WooCommerce version number is blocking your
   store from running.
 * On the /wp-admin/options.php screen, search for “woocommerce_db_version” and 
   adjust it to 6.6.1, clicking “Save Changes” at the bottom.

 * Hi [@edat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edat/) –
 * It looks like there may be several tasks pending in the task list on the WooCommerce“
   Home” screen in your WP Admin. These are likely creating the additional database
   queries.
 * Do the queries still run (and run slowly) once all tasks in the task list are
   completed?
 * As an additional peace of mind, when running repeats of the same query, your 
   WordPress will pick up data from it’s object cache, instead of querying your 
   database directly. I see you have an object cache plugin installed, which facilitates
   this.

 * Hi [@marcopolo11](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcopolo11/).
 * Looking at the link provided, it looks like the JavaScript error has been resolved.
 * For future reference and future readers, an error like this is often caused by
   a piece of JavaScript code which is triggering an error not being handled correctly.
   This in turn can stop other JavaScript from running. In this specific instance,
   it looks like a `sticky-footer-bar.min.js` file is trying to find the height 
   of the browser window, unsuccessfully. When no height is returned, the JavaScript
   isn’t handling that error correctly, causing other JavaScript on the page to 
   break.
 * I’d suggest sharing the error message [@hemant-ahir](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hemant-ahir/)
   pasted with the developer of the plugin or theme which is loading `sticky-footer-
   bar.min.js`, so they can inspect and ensure the error is resolved in future versions
   of their product.

 * Hi xopox,
 * Looking at this, I’d recommend replacing your embed codes with a one-line video
   embed for each video. This is where you place the video URL on it’s own line 
   in the content, and WordPress embeds the video for you.
 * A filter on `the_content` would be a good way to start, with a regex to match
   all `div` tags with the `video` CSS class. From there, pulling the URL of the
   video out of the matched text, and replacing the div tag with the video URL, 
   would achieve the desired result.
 * This would also be non-destructive, as it doesn’t actually replace the content
   in the database, yet overrides the videos with new embeds.
 * I hope this helps, as a starting point.

 * Hi there,
 * Did you come right with this? I see that wp-admin for your child sites seems 
   to load, which is an indicator that the files inside there (at least index.php)
   are loading correctly.

 * Hi there,
 * This sounds like an interesting project, and one which may require some custom
   coding. I looked around briefly for a plugin which offers similar features, and
   didn’t find such a plugin quickly.
 * It sounds like the components you need are a members area, ways to have members
   upload files by a specific date, and a way for a moderator to evaluate the work,
   and open up the next session for a member.
 * Perhaps a course or e-learning plugin, with slightly different labelling on the
   frontend, would serve such a purpose.

 * Hi jqbear29,
 * There are some great plugins available for creating user profiles. I’d recommend
   searching the “Plugins” directory for “Profile Builder” or “Memberships”, for
   a full list. There are also plugins which handle portfolios.
 * This may require a small amount of custom coding to get the portfolio items to
   show on a specific profile page.
 * You could also look into BuddyPress, which comes with a profile system, and then
   try a plugin like Jetpack for portfolio items.
 * All of the best with this.

 * Hi limvus,
 * The `widgets.php` file is used purely to manage widgets via WP Admin. Other widget-
   related functions are used to output your websites within your theme.
 * The WordPress Handbook has [a great section on widgets](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/functionality/widgets/)
   which I’d recommend reviewing, before you debug further.

 * Hi Alixia,
 * I’d suggest contacting your web host or website administrator. It sounds like
   there is code running on your website which is preventing the full loading of
   WP Admin.
 * To deactivate plugins in bulk, visit WP Admin > Plugins, select all the plugins
   from the checkboxes on the left, and use the bulk actions to “deactivate”.
