In reply to: Blogger To WordPress Migration ProblemYou don’t have any paragraphs in that content. Each line is in a separate DIV and then you have empty DIV elements where the blank lines between them were.
In other words, the content you had on the original site was wrong in the first place, and you imported that to the new site. Garbage in, garbage out.
You should probably look into converting all your posts into something more correct, like paragraphs with line breaks, instead of a big mess of DIVs.

In reply to: [Sciencex Lite] ScienceX Lite demo data not availableIt is highly unlikely for a free theme offered on a free site to come with phone support, much less on a toll free number.
Additionally, themes typically do not include “demo data” because that is not the purpose of themes. Themes display your posts on the site, they don’t create posts for you.

In reply to: wp_remote_get URL in WP CrontrolWP Cron is not a guaranteed system, and should not be used for events that need to happen on a specific timing.
If you absolutely need something to run at a specific moment, use a real cronjob, not anything in WordPress.

In reply to: Expires headers without a far-future expiration dateYou can’t put headers on resources that don’t come from your own site. So those google and cloudflare URLs you cannot do anything about.
Metrics and testing systems are just that: metrics. They’re guides. They’re not reality, and you do not have to get a 100% score on them.

In reply to: Theme Editor files won’t save…Not sure how to find that phrase in the plugins since they are straight from the WordPress.org library
Plugins can still have that in them and be in the org library.
As for timing of when the error message comes up, the Unable to communicate… message usually takes a little while to show up after the circle spins for about 20-30 seconds.
Yeah, that indicates it being a plugin causing it.
Disable all your plugins and then see if the editor works. Then re-enable the plugins one by one until you find which one is causing the problem.

In reply to: PHP 7.4 Compatibility with WP 5.4.1 – problem with seems_utf8()Seems valid, and you should bring it up as a ticket on https://core.trac.wordpress.org.
Search the existing tickets first, of course. Somebody else might have already made a ticket.

In reply to: function map_meta_cap with issues since upgrade to WP 5.4.1While the args are optional, they’re not always optional. In this case, it’s expecting the ID of the post to be deleted. If something is asking to delete a post without saying which one, then that should be fixed.
I agree that a sanity check is probably needed here, but this isn’t exactly new to 5.4.1. That particular line of code has been there for over 14 years.
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3513/trunk/wp-includes/capabilities.php
So, pretty sure the problem is in whatever is incorrectly checking the capability here.

In reply to: Theme Editor files won’t save…Well, obvious thing to check first: Are the two URLs in Settings->General correctly set?
Non-obvious thing: Does any code in the theme or any of the plugins contain the phrase
session_startin any way? Note that if it takes about 10 seconds to fail when you save, then this is more likely to be the problem.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: No images showing on my website@sukirti Sorry for the difficulties you’re having, but weird setups sometimes require debugging in order to find solutions.
Looking at your site, Steve is on the correct path to helping you here. The 301 redirects were looping causing your images to not load. This is likely caused by the htaccess rules you posted combined with your configuration for SSL. It may take some effort to sort out all the nooks and crannies there, but stick with it. The problem is solvable. 🙂

In reply to: Theme Editor files won’t save…Godaddy… Windows or Linux hosting? I haven’t used them in a while, but back in the day they used to offer both.
You should use their Linux hosting, FYI. Not the Windows one.

In reply to: How to display all tags from readme.txtAdditionally, tags are to be used for organization. For people to find similar things. If you’re using tags that no other plugin is using, then those don’t show up.

In reply to: Delete white space in Restoneu themeThat whitespace is marked as the “banner area”. So if your theme has something to remove or hide the banner for a page, try that first.
If you want to get rid of it on specific pages, then CSS like the following would work:
.page-id-10 .restoneu-banner-area { display: none; }10 is the ID of your about-us page. The Contact us page is ID 8. So this would remove it from both of them:
.page-id-10 .restoneu-banner-area, .page-id-8 .restoneu-banner-area { display: none; }Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Button created with Guttenburg doesn’t functionI have entered the URL in the Link REL field.
That’s not where the URL goes.
In the editor, click the button. In the block menu bar, click the Link icon. It looks like a little chain.
That’s where the URL goes. It’s the same way that you link text to URLs, you select the text, then click the Link icon. Buttons in the button block use the same process.
The “rel” field stands for “relationship”. It is used to define things for special types of links, which is why it’s a freeform box. Usually, you leave this blank. If you don’t know what to put in the rel field, then it should be blank. It’s not something you use a whole lot.

In reply to: No delete link for pluginsTwo things to check:
1. Can you install and edit plugins normally? Can’t delete them if you can’t install them either.
2. Use a role manager plugin like the Members plugin to see if the
delete_pluginsrole has been modified on your setup.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: hacked index.php file with 444 permissions won’t stay changedThe only way it can happen in the manner you describe is if something is still running on that machine to prevent changes to the files.
