Yes, it’s the same code but replace p with * (asterisk symbol)

or just copy this to use instead of that code

.entry-content > *:not(.alignwide):not(.alignfull):not(.alignleft):not(.alignright):not(.is-style-wide) {
	max-width: 960px;
}

This will widen normal text block (in <p> tag) from theme’s default 580px to the max width of 960px, change this number to your liking (for example if 960px is too wide, just use 900px or 840px or 720px).

.entry-content > p:not(.alignwide):not(.alignfull):not(.alignleft):not(.alignright):not(.is-style-wide) {
	max-width: 960px;
}

Just copy and paste the code in Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS.

It’s usually under WP dashboard admin > Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS

It’s a standard WordPress feature since 4.7

Sometimes web developer would hide this Additional CSS section (via role and capabilities settings) so that client won’t be able to customize (ruin) the site. So if you really don’t see this section in your WordPress install, consult your web dev.

Some people prefer to use plugin for this (search for “custom css” in plugin repo) which offers some extra options but it does the same thing, there is no need for this kind of plugin if we only use few lines of CSS code to customize the site here and there.

If the site use a child theme, all the additional CSS should go to child theme’s stylesheet, no need to put the CSS code anywhere else.

Table Block

I do not know where the code for the paginations are placed. I understand it may have something to do with wp_link_pages which I found in Twenty Seventeen’s Single Page (page.php)

The page.php of 2017 theme doesn’t have a call to wp_link_pages() presented in the file itself (it gets called by template-parts/page/content-page.php), so please check if you really have 2017 theme in its original form, not an edited one.

Precaution, before doing any changes to theme files, it’s good practice to always have full site backup. Just in case something goes wrong we can get the site back up in its previous condition.

Another thing is the site’s parent theme (twenty seventeen) style.css says it is version 2.0 (11 months ago, long before WP5.3), the latest is 2.2, so it’s possible that if you update the theme to the latest version the problem might get resolved.

If after taking care of the parent theme and problem persists, try disabling all plugins, this will rule out that the problem is from theme files or plugin(s). If with all plugins disabled the problem still there, theme (parent and/or child) is the culprit. If all plugins disabled and the problem is gone, try re-enabling them one by one to rule out the one that causes it.

Since your child theme doesn’t have anything in stylesheet (other than the header info indicating the parent theme). Try looking in your child theme functions.php file, there could be a function that injects additional nav links. If your child theme has page.php look into it see if there is a call to wp_link_pages(), as mentioned earlier there must not be a call to this presented in page.php otherwise it gets double display.

RE: Do you mean keeping the links in “categories” instead of pages or something?

No, I didn’t mean category in the sense of post or page taxonomy as in standard WordPress category/tag. I mean we mentally categorize all the links we have into groups based on its context or relevance.

Suppose our website will have total of 30 links to other websites related to cats, dogs, family and friends. Instead of having 30 links in sidebar (or footbar for modern one column design), we put in only 3 links there.

For this example, in our sidebar (or footbar) we have 3 links each of which is a url to normal WordPress page that we created and named it properly.

• “For cat lovers” http://example.com/my-cats-page
• “For dog lovers” http://example.com/my-dogs-page
• “Hello my friends” http://example.com/my-people-page

On each page (normal WordPress page) write up an introductory paragraph followed by list of links to websites related to the subject of that page. Or we can do it better by writing up introductory paragraph for each link. And now that WP 5.3 has this new Group Block, we can fancy up the design on this page easily.

The reason to have introductory paragraph for each link (or one main paragraph for list of links) is to avoid our website being recognized by search engine as “Link Farm” which can hurt the SEO. And also it gives the context to site visitors, for people to understand why these links are there.

Hi Steve, you can always contact your hosting provider and ask them to help restore the site to its previous stage. All (or most) hosting providers keep backup available for this kind of situation.
