In reply to: Optimize my WebsireRebuilding depends on you or how deep your pockets are. Easy solution of course is to pay someone to do what is desired.
With that said, doing it yourself depends on how much you know and … how much you know you don’t know. If you know about basic site security and how to troubleshoot problems and how to know if a Plugin is good or bad then have at’er. If you know there is a lot you don’t know about those things then are you willing to spend the time learning; and how long will it take.
Also, was the previous person a whiz at this stuff or did they do a lot of things they shouldn’t have–and nobody knows about?
Not being able to see the site or know what you want to accomplish, I can only give you ideas as to what to do.

In reply to: WordPress 5.5 crashes siteWhen debug is enabled in the wp-config:
define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false); change to define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
You’ll find error logs in these locations:
/public_html/error_log
/wp-admin/error_logAlso have a look at this Article:

In reply to: Optimize my WebsireFirst thing to do is determine what Plugins are necessary or desired. Researching each one will help you to better understand about Plugins and which ones you want. Will also help when choosing a Plugin in the future.
Then determine if the current Theme is desired or …? That will help in determining if a website makeover is viable now or down the road.
This doesn’t take away from the fact that one should always be aware of basic site security and maintenance, regardless of WordPress site or not.
My recommendation is to focus on Security and Backup Plugins. WordFence and Updraft come to mind as good ones to start with. Also make sure everything works with PHP v7.3 and get rid of whatever doesn’t.
That should keep you busy for a few days. 😉

In reply to: “Timeout waiting for output from CGI script” with admin-ajaxYou could use the DevTools built into your Browser. If not sure how then use a Search Engine to find tutorials specific to your Browser.
You could also use a plugin like this to help troubleshooting back-end or front-end problems.

In reply to: Can’t access website or admin at all after PHP upgradeHave your Hoster downgrade your PHP to v5.6 which I presume you were using before and everything was working fine. Then update WordPress to v5.5 and immediately install this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-jquery-migrate-helper/
Enable jQuery Migrate HelperThen update Themes, check a few things on your site to make sure all is good.
Then update Plugins and check again.Then do a backup. Then ask your Hoster to upgrade your site to PHP v7.3. I know v7.4 is the latest but v7.3 is just fine for now.
I know it a lot a of steps but but the above should get you to where you want to be.

In reply to: [Enable jQuery Migrate Helper] Logging is done where?“Enable jQuery Migrate Helper”
The Starter Sites plugin displays msg. in page, as shown in the image.
The One Click Importer plugin also shows the same msg. in page.
Browser Console shows 4 warnings.
This page uses the non standard property “zoom”. Consider using calc() in the relevant property values, or using “transform” along with “transform-origin: 0 0”. - themes.php JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed with logging active, version 1.4.1 jquery-migrate-1.4.1-wp.js:23:17 Layout was forced before the page was fully loaded. If stylesheets are not yet loaded this may cause a flash of unstyled content. - jquery.js:3:25903 This site appears to use a scroll-linked positioning effect. This may not work well with asynchronous panning; see https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Performance/ScrollLinkedEffects for further details and to join the discussion on related tools and features! - themes.php“Test jQuery Updates”
No msg. on either plugin page.
Browser Console shows the first 3 notices as above whilst the 4th one is not.

This site appears to use a scroll-linked positioning effect. This may not work well with asynchronous panning; see https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Performance/ScrollLinkedEffects for further details and to join the discussion on related tools and features! - themes.phpSo it would seem that for whatever reason, the “Enable jQuery Migrate Helper” states in page that there is an error but not what and will be confusing to most. If one is familiar with using a Browser Console to look for errors then there is no need to display an uncompleted error msg. in page. Although in page is a “touch of class” for a complete msg.
Looks like it’s time to decide which way to go with error display and do a bit of tweaking. 🙂

Did you perhaps skip over a few things you did? Your problem is with the version of PHP being used which is not working correctly with old Plugins. If you want to solve your problem go back to PHP v5.6 and do some WordPress Updates.
Mostly likely everything will work again after the updates and more importantly, the site will work correctly. Then you can upgrade PHP and any problems you do have will be a lot easier to sort out.
If you don’t want to downgrade PHP then delete the site and start over.

In reply to: WordPress site shows ‘skip to content’ suddenlyA bit of confusion here as the “Skip to Content” link only shows when using the Tab button on the keyboard. I do not see it otherwise.
This is one line of HTML that has been inserted into all your pages, in the BODY code. This is a nice touch actually as it meets with Accessibility Guidelines. It provides for those using Screen Readers to avoid having to always listen to the Header info & links being read out to them and jump right to the content.
How is this a “problem”?
