In reply to: Custom post type widgetUse Display Posts Shortcode plugin, it provides many possibilities to pull out content (see Available Parameters). In this case, just use it with your selected post type and indicates not to display title or anything. Just so you know, since WordPress 4.9 widget area allows shortcode automatically, so there is no need for user to enable it via function.

In reply to: Where is the css generated and how to change itTo determine how the code is injected, we need to look into theme functions. From the frontend we can only know where the code located and what’s in it.
Since the code is .logo a it should be from theme settings, but it has this !important which indicates it might be from user putting in. So try look around, maybe it’s from Custom (Additional) CSS section where user puts in extra CSS, and theme function combines all the CSS into one block and injected into bottom most before closing </body> tag.
If theme settings are not it, try go look in the page that’s set as front page and dive into the box or section that contains the text in question. Theme with some kind of page builder plugin also takes additional CSS right there.

In reply to: Where is the css generated and how to change itThe code injected inline
<style>...</style>at almost bottom of the html before the closing</body>tag.Since the code target
.logo a, we know that it should be from theme setting.@media (min-width:768px){ .logo a{ font-size : 50px !important; } }The best bet is to look for logo section in theme setting and correct it there.

In reply to: Page Option settings started to not saveHi oztraveller,
Plugin is just php functions, it could be made seperatedly as a plugin or it could be bundled in a theme, like commercial themes usually do. In this case I suspect there is some kind of function similar with older version of Visual Composer that has compatabillity issue with WP 4.9
To rule it out, temporarily switch to default theme and see if you can save a post/page, if it does then we know exactly it’s the theme that caused problem.
I do a quick check on BeTheme and it seems to me it never get updated for quite awhile, so I guess it’s best to contact theme support and let them know the problem.

In reply to: Recent Posts widget not displaying correct number of postsDefinitely yes, reporting issue to theme author is the best thing to do.

In reply to: Page Option settings started to not saveCould you try temporarily deactivate that plugin and see if page could get saved normally, this is to rule out if that page builder plugin is the issue.
There is a known compat issue of Visual Composer version 5.4.2 or older with WP 4.9, so it might be the same with the plugin your theme is using. If that’s so, please contact plugin author to get it working with latest version of WP.

In reply to: Featured imageI know sterndata already been helping but just my 2 cents here
In order to populate my portfolio gallery, I have uploaded image files of two different sizes to my media library (one larger image for the body of each post and one at 177 x 117 pixels for my featured image / thumbnail).
It’s not necessary to create 2 or 3 versions of the same image and upload to WordPress because it’s automatically done by core. Each time we upload 1 large image, WP will create 2 more sizes of it, this is set in media (Settings → Media).
Some themes, especially commercial ones, come bunddled with some gallery plugin and it might even create more image sizes. Either way we only need to upload 1 large image and the system will make extra sizes for us.
I’m doing this, so that when someone goes to my gallery page, they can click on the thumbnail to see the larger image showing my product in more detail. This is not happening. Clicking on the thumbnail only generates the small featured image.
This sounds like a users not using the theme correctly, since the theme in use is a commercial theme, please refer to theme documentation on how to create gallery page.

In reply to: [Twenty Seventeen] 2017 recommends the following plugin – NoticeI don’t see that in mine.
Have you seen that recommendation before? I’m thinking it could be from other theme and maybe the message is cached.

In reply to: From a manual backup to a new hosting serverIt’s up t you but I would mark as resolved because the answer to this topic is already in that Moving WordPress link. Also I will monitor this thread if you have further question. I won’t be able to answer right away, but I’ll do my best.
So as in my previous comment, copy theme and plugin folder and upload to the new WP install. Now we need the database, once you find the database backup (SQL file) that the person gave to you, use a database management tool (like phpMyAdmin or whatever your host provides) to import the SQL file.
This plugin might help import the SQL file right in the WP admin page (I myself have never used it before but it might be useful for you)

In reply to: Recent Posts widget not displaying correct number of postsI wasn’t able to reproduce this using fresh install of WP 4.9 with default theme.
So at least we know it’s not a WP bug.
Firstly, I would clear browser’s cache, also if the site is using some kind of caching plugin, be sure to clear the cache after making update.
If that still doesn’t work, try switching to default theme see if the problem goes away, this is to rule out if it’s theme related issue. If it still doesn’t work, try deactivate all plugins and activate it one by one to rule out the plugin that might be the issue.
