In reply to: How can I enable Categories in the Screen Options?Most likely something to do with Elementor and you should post your question in the Elementor Plugin Support area.

In reply to: Can’t activate/deactivate pluginsAre you using a Multi-Site plugin? They have a tendency to force one to use their Control Panel for Adding/Removing Plugins & Themes and preventing one from using the WordPress Admin panel.

In reply to: CORS error loading themeAdmin -> Settings -> General
Make sure these two settings use:
WordPress Address (URL) https://backyardfibers.com/
Site Address (URL) https://backyardfibers.com/Websites today should always be using ‘https’.

In reply to: How to password-protect the whole site?Install same as most other plugins.
Admin -> Plugins -> Add New – type in “WP Maintenance Mode” and when shown, click Install then Active. Then use Admin -> Settings: WP Maintenance Mode
The plugin page explains what how to use or you can read the instructions provided once installed. You can also ask questions on the plugin page – Support.

In reply to: Page rarely displays changes when not logged in to WordPressSuggest using https://validator.w3.org/ to see where you have errors and correct them. You can ignore the Warnings for now but there are some errors related to slowing down page load-and possibly how the page should work as well.

In reply to: Speed & OnSite WordPress Site Request. Having Serious Loading IssuesAlso use https://validator.w3.org/ as there are some coding errors to be corrected as well.

In reply to: Site Health – Clearing CacheGood to hear the problem got resolved-I think. 🙂
This is one of the reason why I never recommend a Cache Plugin. They seem to cause more problems than solutions. With a good Caching setup in an .htaccess file, a Cache Plugin is never needed.
Using phpMyAdmin you could do a database search for WP Super Cache to see if any residue settings are there. Not all plugins do a clean uninstall and this could be one of them.
Otherwise, please mark as Resolved and we’ll see you on the flip side.

In reply to: Site Health – Clearing CachePlease make to update thread with results of contacting Bluehost. As you do not appear to be using any Cache Plugins, I’m curious as to whether the problem was caused by the caching setup used by your Hoster.

In reply to: 404 Error on Post after changing permalinksI’m not that familiar with structure of Categories and how they work. Suggest you research on your own for faster results on fixing the problem. I’m sure the Search Engines have a link to some site, somewhere, with a tutorial on this or someone who had the same problem and resolved it.

In reply to: 404 Error on Post after changing permalinksOK, I see now where the link is for ‘rolling-cargo-service’. Still leaves the question though of a whether there is a page already created for ‘news-and-promos’.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: 404 Error on Post after changing permalinks‘news-and-promos’ is not a folder, it is a URL.
If https://www.transasiashipping .com/news-and-promos/
is being redirected
to https://www.transasiashipping .com/rolling-cargo-service/Where is the original link to ‘rolling-cargo-service’ as I don’t see it in your menu?
Understand that URLs are created based on the Title of a page. If there is no page called “News and Promos” – in the Admin -> Pages area – there will be no link.

In reply to: 404 Error on Post after changing permalinksGo to Permalink settings and without changing anything, press Save. Sometimes one has to do it twice for changes to kick in.

In reply to: WordPress version updates & plugin compatibilityIf your Plugins are 1 Major version (1.x.x not 2.x.x) or a couple of Minor versions (1.5.4 not 1.7.0) then I wouldn’t worry about updating. Updating is much better these days and not as stressful as it used to be. 😉
Set all your plugins to Automatic Updates although you might want to keep anything WooCommerce related set to manual. More importantly, do not set Major Updates to WordPress to automatic. Maybe it’s just me but I always prefer to do a current backup before Major Updates to WordPress Core.
