I have created WordPress websites a little like this. It hosted competitions which had contest convenors + judges + participants, all still were just subscriber logins as far as WP was concerned. There are additional database tables that key on WPid to provide the extended user attributes, also a table which captures the tenant<>subordinate relationship.

I would not expect you to find an existing solution that fulfills your needs, rather you will find lots of useful examples to learn and borrow from.

The functionality can be provided using either shortcodes or custom page templates, I also customized the page header so that the menu presented depends upon the role, hence a child theme is required.
The first test in each page is that the user has the correct role. It would then progress to presenting the appropriate table of results data or a form to gather data. Code that processes submitted data also needs to check matching user roles and nonces etc. This code will form the beating heart of your application. You will also need javascript and AJAX in the pages.

When I was getting started I found this plugin very helpful:

I have created websites that do this.

First there is a plugin to do the CSV import to a custom table:

Second in a child theme I created custom page templates to display a search/query form and display the results, also an add entry form, you will probably also need delete and edit. I found that the CSV import plugin was an excellent tutorial on handling SQL plus handling the SUBMIT actions. Rather than page templates you could do it using shortcodes instead.

By replacing the theme “header.php” file with your own, you are disrupting the WordPress page assembly flow, lots of things you expect to happen just will not get started. So reinstate your theme’s header.php file please.
Then to get your paragraph with id=”demo” and your button, put them into the text of a page. View the page and check with your browser inspector what has been loaded.

There are plugins such as “Duplicator” which assist with this, it lets you:
– create a copy of all the files, this is actually trivial even if the result is large with many files.
– create a copy of the database with the required URL changes to the new URL. This is the trickier part.

However I caution you from duplicating the site, it means that all future updates to the website pages+posts+catalogue have to be done twice. Better would be a modification which catered for displaying prices in different currencies, let people choose their currency and made an initial guess using IP addresses etc as to the country of origin of the request.

You are asking in support for localhost, I for one do not have experience with multisite.
Suggest that you seek support wherever multisite is supported (spoken).

My guess is that this is an interaction between your theme and the new layout used by Gutenberg. All of your website layout is controlled by the CSS of your theme (and possibly plugins).
Suggest that you use your web browser’s “browser inspector” to see your pages html and how your css is effecting the layout, most likely some css changes will fix your problem, use either your child theme or more easily the “Customizer > Additional css” tab.
It would help us help you if you provided a link to a page with your problem, but maybe you don’t and won’t publish one that has this layout problem which is understandable.

What happens when you view from a different browser ? Different computer ?

In your website hosting management login, there will be settings and access to server logs.
If you need more specific directions then ask your website hosting technical support.
