In reply to: Can not exit staging environmentTalking to your Hoster about this is the best suggestion you’ll get. Then know more about the software provided to your Hosting account than anyone else.

In reply to: Blocking visitors by a search queryWhy not ask Bing, since that’s where you found it?
The phrase you state is a specific one that a person wouldn’t look for unless they already knew what they were looking for. Perhaps you are not explaining yourself properly and more information needs to be provided?
Not enough information to provide any help. If you are having HTTPS issues then it might be best to contact your Hoster for help. They know more about what software your site has than anyone else.

In reply to: front page does not loadYou need to provide more information on your problem.
For example:
– got a URL so we can see what you see?
– have you checked any error logs for more information?
– have you contacted your Hoster to see if they will help?Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Redesigning a WebsiteThe existing posts will remain as they are part of the database and WordPress pulls everything from its database. For that reason you may run into problems if the “test site” is not using the same information as the “Live site”.
You are better off to copy “everything” into the “test site” and make your changes accordingly. This way you won’t run into any surprizes when you change the “Live site”. As the two database will be separate from each other, changes to one will not affect the other.
Search the Plugin section for “Migrate” and you should be safe using one that has installs of a few hundred thousands or more.

In reply to: Link preview not working anymoreFor whatever reason, I now see there is some sort of security in effect. It says by CloudFlare but maybe it is a setting you enabled? Definitely want to get rid it though.
An excellent place to get a second opinion, on coding errors, is https://validator.w3.org/ . Unfortunately the security setting I mentioned prevents that from happening although one can Copy & Paste the source code to get a look-see anyway. It also prevents an excellent site like https://www.webpagetest.org/ but it does allow https://gtmetrix.com/ . Strange!
Both these sites are Free and used for helping to troubleshoot Web site problems. GTMetrix for example, quickly shows problems that need correcting.
https://gtmetrix.com/reports/commonsensetv.nl/BdnMfggM/
With that said, here a correction you can manually do.
Your code is using “sizes” in Image tags instead of “width”. If that method is used then this line of code “must” be in the <head></head> part of the document.
<meta http-equiv=”Accept-CH” content=”DPR,Width,Viewport-Width”>
Add it near the top for easy reference. It’s not the best method but it is something you can do, right now, to help solve some problems.
I’m not sure why “sizes=” is being used instead of “width=” but if you don’t need it, switch to using “width=” for images. If not sure what I’m talking about you have to ask yourself, “Where did that coding come from and how can I change it?”. It’s little things like this, coding not being used correctly, that causes a world of hurt for someone just trying to have a website.
As to the problem you have when using Chrome, have you tried using another Browser for working in the Admin section?
I’m not aware of any Plugin/Tool one can use to correct Coding errors–that’s what we Coders do. 😉
Many people have the same or worse problems as yourself because it is a Myth that running a Web site is easy if one uses some sort of script. WordPress and other type script/software are usually fine to work with, as long you do not want to customize anything. Working with Software, Themes, Plugins not fully understood, will only cause problems and headaches. You should determine what needs to be fixed and a budget to work with. Then go from there. Otherwise you’ll need to spend a lot of time learning.

In reply to: Ryte: the language settings of this page are too specific!From reading text on the img you provided, it sounds like Ryte means there is more than one (or two) Country’s that speak Italian. I have no idea if that’s what they mean or if that is true. If you are only seeking Italian speaking people then I would disregard their msg.
As to where you change Language settings, that should be available within the Theme Customize Settings.

In reply to: Ryte: the language settings of this page are too specific!I don’t know what “Ryte” is but there is no need to set the country.
You say you set the language to “it” but your web page shows: lang=”it-IT” — no need to declare it twice.
lang=”it” is fine

In reply to: Link preview not working anymoreGreetings,
Using Firefox I don’t see any gaps in the content so I would presume everything is working correctly–as much as it can. If you are seeing problems using a specific Browser then it could be the problem is Browser specific. If familiar with Browser Dev Tools (press the F12 Key to see them) then I would suggest using it in the Browsers having the problem.
Although there are many errors and I was going to give up looking any further, I did spot this error:
<script type='text/javascript'> window.__pia_affiliate_id = 6013 ... })() <meta name="c772f34022b66a8" content="d669dcb94badd42c39909cf0db44b767" />As there is no closing </script> it is causing cascading problems. This could be the problem, I’m not sure.
I would suggest cleaning up all or some of the code errors. It’s hard to debug a page when there are so many errors, one is not sure which one is causing problems.

In reply to: [Outdated Plugin Notifier] A Must HaveDo not be discouraged that your Plugin has a limited shelf life as that applies to the majority. For the next few years, maybe more, your Plugin will play an important part in reminding people to keep “their” Plugins updated. This will help every WordPress site be more secure and probably operate better as well. And I do believe you have “the only Plugin of this type” so Kudos to you for putting it together and providing it for all. 🙂
As to your questions, I would think that both, bg color and a border, would create a stronger Call To Action impulse and that is the idea.
1 yr.
background-color: #fff8e5;
border: 1px solid #ddd78e; f4a50f2 yr.
background-color: #f56e28;
border: 1px solid #f42e19Admin -> Plugins – I’m not sure where the Description text comes from but consider using something like:
Displays “Last Updated” info as provided from one site: wordpress.org. Yellow background is 1 yr. Orange background is 2 yrs. Update or Replace as needed.
That one line covers; what the Plugin does, what site is checked for update info, what the two colours mean and what people should do. Remember also that as time goes by and you get Feedback from people using your Plugin and any new ideas “you” come up with, your Plugin will change, grow and adapt as needed.
Off topic, it strikes me as odd that on the Plugin page the Description provided by a lot people include the word “Plugin” which is redundant and a waste of characters IMHO.

In reply to: Edit code of main/home-pageWhat you are confronted with is a stumbling block most WordPress Beginners experience. That is why I had suggested you Search on Tutorials.
You say you can Edit a Page or Post and that is the Content of the page. To Edit Theme Header, Footer, Menu, Widgets and such, one uses the Customize option. That is usually where the confusion comes in.
So if I for example want to add HTML for my site title. For example a <span> function in within my title.. How can I do that for my main page?
Site Title is a Theme option, not a Page option.
Admin -> Appearance -> Customize -> Navigation -> Site Identity
That is usually where one Edits the Site Logo, Site Title, etc. Being as it is a Theme option, it will apply to every page. Learning how to properly use Theme options can be an Art in itself.

In reply to: Media LibraryYou haven’t mentioned if the suggested Media Addons link provided above, gave you anything useful.
To your original question; “Is a photo gallery plugin still required to handle graphical files or is the internal media section “good enough” now?” the answer is “it depends”. We know the Media Library will provide for formats other than images. Your question isn’t specific enough to provide a specific answer.
At this point, you should provide more information on your situation or mark this Thread as Resolved.

In reply to: [PhastPress] Whether to consider moving css from head to bodyThe only time one would want “any” CSS in the BODY is when it is used inline for use in HTML output. That would mean using the STYLE attribute and that should also be avoided.
Linked or Embedded CSS (as used in the HEAD) or ID / Class used in HTML Tags, is the best way to go.
