In reply to: delivering emails in spam folder from last one weekYou will get the static IP address from the people providing your email service.
This 3rd party will be able to provide this, or are providing a name you are using in the send email settings, it probably starts either “smtp.thing” or “mail.thing”, this name will do or you can get the IP address by doing a ping on it.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: delivering emails in spam folder from last one weekThe SPF record is a stored on the DNS server which supports your domain, it is a TXT type.
Suggest that you google say “spf record example” to see what is needed.
Then suggest that you talk to your website hosting technical support, who are probably providing your DNS service.Forum: Localhost Installs
In reply to: Assigning a domain to “localhost”I concur with Steve.
Configuring localhost to use the VirtualHost method is IMHO a well kept secret. For the life of me I do not understand why it is not widely promoted, that all the localhost WP docs stop short of explaining it is a mysetry.
I have used the VirtualHost method many times, to develop websites and to troubleshoot sites which are unhappy for various reasons, like that they have been hacked. For many purposes the WordPress site barely knows that it has changed host, (I copy the database name + user + password, so that “wp-config.php” stays the same).
Issues where the rehosting is not transparent include:
– ssl and https
– smtp and email configuration
But these are minor.There are plugins like “Duplicator” which do a good job of renaming the site throughout the database.
Moving a WordPress site (including changing the URL) entails more than adjusting the Site Address and WordPress address. The website URL is captured all over the database as of when the entry was created.
There are plugins such as “better search replace” that will help you.

In reply to: Website Loading Too Slow & Images Not LoadingLooks OK to me, images are present and load time was reasonable.
Suggest that you try using a different computer or browser, maybe clear cache?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: More WordPresses, one databaseI think this is an option using “multi-site”.

In reply to: Fixing meta-data, title line height, and capitalize for headerWhat is done in the customizer can be undone, usually more easily.
Suggest that you use the reference website:

to get your text upper/lower case done.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Edit font size in testimonial sliderCooee.
Style changes like this are easily done using your web browser’s “browser inspector”, it will show you your html and how the CSS is working, it will also let you experiment with it.
Then you go into the “customizer” and add your CSS changes in the “Additionsl CSS” tab.
Something like:.testimonial_slider blockquote p { font-size: 60%; line-height: 20px; }Will get you going.

In reply to: Not able to login in word press adminInstalling SSL is a web hosting action, not a WordPress thing.
Most hosting plans now give you the option to install SSL certificates from “LetsEncrypt”, they are free.I do this in my cPanel management panel, the “Security” section “SSL/TLS Status” icon, your hosting may be different.
Suggest you contact your website hosting support.

In reply to: Site suddenly unformatted HTML & can’t start WP admin/dashboardLooks like a glitch in .htaccess files, either in your website root or the subdirectory.
This doc will show you what they should be:

In reply to: How to shift logo in headerSorry missed the link, usually they are highlighted.
Using my browser inspector I find that the header is set to a width of 33$.
This is the CSS:.col-md-4 { width: 33.33333333%; }Suggest that you seek support in the theme forum.

In reply to: Available widget areas with 2020Without looking at the theme files:
– Setup a child theme
– copy “footer.php” from the parent theme directory to your child theme directory and customise it.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: 5.3.2 PHP uncaught errorThese are often symptoms of failed updates. The mechanism or server is unable to overwrite some file and problems like this pop up.
Suggest that you delete all the files in the /wp-admin folder and upload a new set, I use the filezilla FTP program to do this.

In reply to: How to shift logo in headerIt would help us help you if you included a link to your website.
That said, suggest that you use your browser inspector to see how your site is laying out the header elements. Play with the margins and padding etc. Use the customiser to do your additional CSS.
