   Elementor page
   builder; have animation settings within Elementor itself. Open the menu you want
   to edit in Elementor and look for options related to hover effects, animations,
   or transitions. Hope so, it will show if there are any animations included by
   mistake.

 * I have gone through your webiste and here’s the snippet code of one of the menus
 * > “.elementor-426 .elementor-element.elementor-element-503b94f .menu-item a.hfe-
   > menu-item:hover, .elementor-426 .elementor-element.elementor-element-503b94f.
   > sub-menu a.hfe-sub-menu-item:hover, .elementor-426 .elementor-element.elementor-
   > element-503b94f .menu-item.current-menu-item a.hfe-menu-item, .elementor-426.
   > elementor-element.elementor-element-503b94f .menu-item a.hfe-menu-item.highlighted,.
   > elementor-426 .elementor-element.elementor-element-503b94f .menu-item a.hfe-
   > menu-item:focus “
 * now the flashing issue here likely involves styles applied with Elementor to 
   a specific menu element when they are hovered over, selected, or focused.
 * So try to temporarily disable animations on the menu item and see if the flashing
   stops.

 * The URL you showed is **absolutely right**. The additional characters in the 
   URL that are shown are nothing but **tracking codes**. Usually, websites use 
   tracking codes to gather data about how users interact with the platform.
 * Tracking codes are a common practice and generally harmless. However, if you 
   want to remove the tracking code, go to your browser settings, navigate for tracking
   codes, and opt-out. The URL will automatically remove the additional characters.

 * [2 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-the-content-in-functions-php-visible/#post-17478213)
 * No, the **functions.php **file in WordPress is not directly visible to everyone
   by default neither it is accessible through direct browsing by users
   The file
   is accessible by the server itself to execute the code it contains when necessary
   for website functionality.
 * 
   Now coming to the permissions. The recommended permission for **functions.php
   is 644.** Because it allows the web server user (e.g., Apache or Nginx) to read
   and execute the file, while other users on the server (e.g., FTP users) can only
   read it. If you change it to **600** it will prevent even the web server from
   executing the file, causing your website to malfunction entirely.

 * While this issue cannot be definitively pointed out as we are unaware of the 
   programming languages and other website development used for your website, here
   are some general steps that you can follow: 
 * Clear your browser cache and try accessing your website again. This ensures you’re
   viewing the latest version of your store and not an outdated cached version. 
   If you have any caching plugins installed, clear their cache as well. These plugins
   might be storing an outdated version of your design.
 * Most of the time, conflicts among the plugins occur and cause disruptions. Temporarily
   deactivate all plugins, especially those related to caching, page builders, or
   theme customization, and see if the issue disappears. If it does, then reactivate
   plugins one by one to identify the troubleshooting plugin.
 * And lastly, try to switch to a default WordPress theme. If your store displays
   correctly with the default theme, it indicates an issue with your custom theme.
   You can then try troubleshooting the theme itself or consider using a different
   theme.

 * Hi [@ramzan32](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ramzan32/),
   -Backups: Before
   downgrading, it’s crucial to have a backup of your site. If you have a backup
   taken before the upgrade to version 6.4.3, restore it to revert your WordPress
   installation.-Verify the PHP version: Make sure WordPress 5.2.2 and your PHP 
   version are compatible. PHP versions 5.6.20 to 7.3 are supported by WordPress
   5.2.2, so make sure your version is compatible.-Update PHP Version: You should
   think about updating your PHP version to one that is within the supported range
   if it is less than 5.6.20. By contacting your hosting company or using your hosting
   control panel, you can update the version of PHP you’re using. -Verify that the
   themes and plugins you have installed are compatible with WordPress 5.2.2 by 
   reviewing compatibility. Errors may occur if older themes and plugins are incompatible
   with the reduced version. -Edit script-loader.php by hand: You might need to 
   manually edit the script-loader.php file if the error persists after the downgrade.
   Navigate to line 757 of the file C:\xampp\htdocs\www\wordpress\wp-includes\script-
   loader.php. If you see any curly braces being used for offset access to strings
   or arrays, make sure they are replaced with a PHP 5.2.2 compatible syntax.-Look
   About Plugin Conflicts.-Update Themes and All Plugins.Hope this helps you.

 * To decrease the spacing between the menu elements, you can adjust the line height.
 * Your current line height is 70px. Reduce it upto 40px.
 * CSS to be changed:
 * **Current: **
 *     ```wp-block-code
       .ast-desktop .ast-primary-header-bar .main-header-menu > .menu-item {
       line-height: 70px;
       }
       ```
   
 * **Updated: **
 *     ```wp-block-code
       .ast-desktop .ast-primary-header-bar .main-header-menu > .menu-item {line-height: 40px;}

 * A newspaper theme comes with a dedicated optimized mobile theme that can be enabled
   by installing a tagDiv mobile theme plugin.
 * Install and activate the plugin in the Theme Panel under the Plugins section
 * Make sure the “Mobile” or “Mobile + AMP” option is selected in the “AMP settings”
   section.
 * Sometimes, plugins can interfere with the theme’s mobile functionality. Temporarily
   deactivate plugins like Jetpack or other caching plugins to see if the issue 
   persists. If it resolves, activate them one by one to identify
 * Clear your browser cache and browsing data on your mobile devices. Additionally,
   clear the server cache if you have access to it.

 * Hello,
 * Please check if all the files and folders have the correct permissions it should
   be 644 and 755 respectively. Also, disable the plugins and check once if you 
   can login to wp-admin.
   Also. can you see any suspicious files in your document
   root? and check htaccess file as well if there is any deny code present.

 * Hello [@brucedraganjac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brucedraganjac/)
 * I suggest utilizing different redirection plugins offered in the market to tailor
   WordPress redirections according to your needs.
 * The “LoginWP” plugin is one well-liked plugin. With the help of this plugin, 
   you can assign distinct redirect URLs to various user roles and reroute users
   according to their username or the URL they attempted to visit before to logging
   in.
 * Install and activate the LoginWP plugin on your WordPress website, then select“
   Tools > Redirection” from the dashboard to begin using it. Here, you can define
   custom redirects for particular users or URLs, as well as the redirect URLs for
   each user role.
 * Additionally, the LoginWP plugin offers customization options for the logout 
   procedure, including sending visitors to a pre-specified URL or showing a message.

 * Hi [@julianoe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/julianoe/),
   As of the last
   update in January 2022, directly adding elements to the formatting toolbar of
   a core block in WordPress through PHP is not a standard practice. WordPress primarily
   relies on JavaScript for such customizations due to the dynamic nature of the
   block editor. While it might appear complex, using JavaScript ensures a more 
   flexible and interactive user experience. For the latest information, check the
   WordPress documentation or community discussions for updates on PHP-based toolbar
   customization. Hope this information is helpful.

 * Hi @[lajang](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lajang/)
   You can use custom 
   CSS.**Access WordPress Customizer:** In your WordPress admin dashboard, go to“
   Appearance” and click on “Customize.”**Navigate to Additional CSS:** Look for
   an option like “Additional CSS” or “Custom CSS” within the Customizer.**Insert
   Custom CSS:** Paste the following CSS code into the Additional CSS section:css
 * `.menu-item-has-children > a:after { content: ' →'; /* Unicode character for 
   right arrow */ display: inline-block; margin-left: 5px; /* Adjust the margin 
   as needed */ }`
 * **Adjust Styling (Optional):** To adjust the distance between the text of the
   menu item and the arrow, change the margin-left attribute. Moreover, you have
   other customisation options for the arrow appearance according to your preferred
   style.
   **Preview and Publish**.This CSS code inserts a right arrow after the 
   menu item text, targets menu items with a sub-menus `(menu-item-has-children)`,
   and modifies the margin for spacing.

 * Hi [@ibrabd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ibrabd/),
    1.  Conduct a security audit and update all themes, plugins, and WordPress core.
    2.  Check server error logs for insights.
    3.  Deactivating plugins and switching to a default theme to identify conflicts.
    4.  Verify user role permissions for account creation.
    5.  Check the integrity of your WordPress database.
    6.  Reinstall or updating user registration components.
    7.  Test in a staging environment for safe troubleshooting.
    8.  Consult your hosting provider for server-related issues.
    9.  Consider a professional security audit for a comprehensive solution.
 * Before making any big changes, always back up your website and, if necessary,
   seek professional assistance.
