You will be changing the site address and wordpress address in the General settings, changing these amounts to moving WordPress even though you have not actually moved anything, what matters is that the apparent address has changed, hence this doc has parts which are relevant:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress

You have two options.
– Use the server IP address 176.221.120.83, this will work from anywhere that can access this IP, possibly the whole internet, possibly only your local LAN segment.
– Use the DNS (Domain Name Service) mechanism to access the website by name, the name could either be one that is purchased and managed through nameservers, OR mapped at the server and every computer which needs to access to your site.

In all cases the moving WordPress doc is relevant.

In the first case the site and wordpress addreess are:
http://176.221.120.83
OR
http://176.221.120.83/wordpress

The second case is more interesting, you configure the webserver (probably Apache2) using the VirtualHost method, details here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/vhosts/
You will have a block in your “sites-enabled” configuration like:

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/wpB
ServerName wpB.local
ServerAlias www.wpB.local
</VirtualHost>

in Linux this at a location like: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/001-local
In this case your site and wordpress address would be:
http://wpB.local
Then you can either:
– Buy the domain name, and set it to resolve to the IP address 176.221.120.83
– Edit the hosts file, details here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_(file)
and add a line like:
176.221.120.83 wpB.local
at every computer that needs to access your website, the domain need not be purchased, it can be an domain at all, even a well known one !!!! since the hosts file is consulted BEFORE the DNS mechanism.

Using your browser inspector you can find where the border code settings are coming from.
Also where are you putting your css customizations ? Instead of “!important” it helps if your css is loaded late in the page loading process, often using the customizer (Customizer > Additional CSS) does this for you.

Yes WordPress is an excellent platform for this type of application.
You will be writing your own plugin that contains you code, it will publish some shortcodes that let your code run in nominated pages, all the rest of WordPress provides the support features to your app, things like user registration and management, instruction pages, menus, all of this functionality arrives free of charge and without additional effort.
The shortcode function will first check that the user is logged in and has the required capabilities, otherwise generating a page “You do not have the credentials to access this page”. Otherwise it does your SQL query and displays the results in a table, or displays a form to upload a file etc. You maintain user data separation by having the user ID as a key field.
When I was getting started with this type of app, I found this plugin a very helpful starting place:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-csv-to-database/
I always acknowledge the author in my derived works.
Initially I focus upon the user app side and do the creation of SQL tables and data admin in phpmyadmin, only coding those aspects subsequently.

Have you enabled debugging ?
https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress
Have you examined your webserver logs ?

So it was not the social media.
I see how the div “gdir-header-container” is getting a width of 1140, but not the height of 342, this could be happening to the “dom” by the javascript doing the slider.
Have you asked in the support forum for the slider ?

Something has gone wrong with the auto update process.
Suggest that you do a manual update to 4.9.5 and probably it will get back onto the auto updates track.
Look for errors during the update such as wrong file permissions, unable to delete files, unable to create files etc.
Instructions for manual update here:

I have made some websites a little like this.
(One is a family tree wiki, people can search on names and dates, view displays of parents + grandparents + sibblings + partners + children + grandchildren. Logged in users can edit data and relationships.)
You write a plugin that creates various shortcodes, some of the website pages use these shortcodes to create that page display.
You probably could interface with google docs, but I have always created custom database tables and done it in SQL in the plugin.
