Hello @jbdegarmo
Welcome to the WordPress support forums. Please take the time to read the forum guidelines, it is very strongly required that people NOT drop into running threads with their own issues. Trust us it works better for everyone if you were to start a new thread to ask your question, by all means read threads to see if they fix your problem, but if you need your own help, then start a new thread. It may not make much sense to you, but that is because you are new here. Among the reasons this is a rule is that many people like myself scan for and read threads that are new, adding your question into a thread means that many fewer people will see it.

That aside, it does seem that you do not have a database problem, but rather a PHP version related one. Suggest that you enable maximum debugging options and look into the WordPress and server logs.
In your file: ‘wp-config.php’
find the line with: define( 'WP_DEBUG', and comment it out and add:

    error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', 1);
    define( 'WP_DEBUG', true);

Then see if you get any messages or logged errors.

While it is possible to set the permissions so that updates and plugin + theme installs work, it is very fiddly, IMHO barely worth the trouble.
On a localhost machine you have your full operating system file access, just use it to install the plugins and themes etc, similarly when you are editing files, just edit them, much easier than using the WordPress or network techniques.
Like why use FTP to access your own files ?

So it seems that the account is OK.
Are there any errors in the server logs ?

Looking further it could be a theme or plugin problem, rather than overthink how and why, it is so much quicker to test and eliminate these possibilities. So rename your theme directory and try again. If no fix, then restore the directory and successively rename each of your plugin directories.
If the above eliminates theme and plugin problems then it has to be a problem with WordPress core. So keep:
file- /wp-config.php
directory: /wp-content/plugins
directory: /wp-content/themes
and delete and relpace ALL of the other files.

First give your tables a distinct class, such as:
<table class="rPerfumeMen" etc
Then in your customiser > additional css
add css code like this:

.rPerfumeMen table {
 border: 1px solid black;
}

Your existing CSS turns off all borders, this css is more specific and will be chosen, it will also not change any other tables on the website.

Not sure it matters what any of us think. It is about finding your slider code.

What I would do in your situation is search all the source code in themes and plugins for the class names I found above. I use Linux so this is an easy
grep -r flexslider-container
if you are on Mac or Windows I do not know.

Firstly it would help us help you if you provided a link to the website.
Yes with CSS.
You need to get the podcast icon as an image file, which is a slightly different thing as some icons are not image formats, you want a jpg or gif or even a png format and named file. Upload this image file to your website, say in “wp-contents/uploads”
Then you use your browser inspector to find the thumbnail and get a set of CSS classes and or id components that are specific to thumbnail, then (in the customizer “additional css” or child theme) add CSS so that the image file is a background image to the thumbnail, you may need to position and no-repeat it, possibly size it too.
If this does not work, then you could use a filter to introduce an img html element to the thumbnail menu item. Would probably also need css as well.

At risk of stating the obvious, you have hit the “PUBLISH” button on the top of the customizer, otherwise your edits are lost.
Have you looked at your pages using your browser inspector ?
Could you be seeing a cache issue ?

Using either FTP or your website hosting file manager, look at the directories and files in “<webfiles>/wp-content/themes”. Are they visible ? What are the owners and permissions ?
Suggest that you talk to your hosting tech support.
