In reply to: Unwanted rectangular popup appearing on blog postsAdding to what the others said, this does sound like an AdSense auto ad. In your AdSense dashboard, go to Ads and check the auto ad settings for this site. Auto ads insert rectangle, in-article, and anchor ads automatically, and Site Kit only places the ad code. You can switch off specific ad formats there without disabling anything. If you turned auto ads on recently, that timing usually confirms it. Also clear your caching plugin after making changes so you see the current version of the site.

In reply to: My website’s name is stuck on a template name!One more place worth checking: if you have an SEO plugin installed like Yoast or RankMath, look at its title and meta settings. Those often override the WordPress site title with their own title template, and the strange learner text may be coming from a leftover template or tagline set by your previous theme. Also double check Customizer > Site Identity for both the title and the tagline. If everything on your site already looks correct, it is likely just Google showing the old cached title, which usually refreshes within a week or two.

In reply to: Website is not shown with the correct ratio and position on mobileI have seen this exact thing happen when a theme or page builder uses absolute positioning that breaks on small screens. On my own site, a footer block jumped to the top on phones because of a custom CSS rule with position absolute inside a media query.The quickest way to find it: open the site in Chrome on your desktop, press F12, toggle the device toolbar, and inspect the misplaced contact block. Look for position, order, or float rules applied at mobile widths. If you built the footer with a page builder, check the section or row settings for responsive options. Sometimes a mobile-specific setting overrides the desktop layout.Also look in Appearance, Customize, Additional CSS for any media queries that mention the footer. That is usually where the culprit hides.

In reply to: Delay when accessing WordPress siteHi Gary, I had almost the exact same thing on a small business site last year. The intermittent part is actually the biggest clue. When a site is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, it is usually the server response time rather than images. Shared hosting can be like that at busy times of day.What helped me most was turning on page caching, which made a bigger difference than image optimization did. EWWW is fine for images, but I would avoid stacking several optimization plugins on top of each other. They can fight with each other and slow things down.I would also try Query Monitor for a day to see what is actually slow before changing anything. And test at different times of day to confirm the pattern. Hope that helps.
