  • Hi vitaljik,

    I’m also using Genesis Framework for my blog along with the free version of W3 Total Cache and everything works perfectly.

    It’s true that there is a premium extension for W3 Total Cache that can speed up your website, even more, when you use Genesis Framework, but that’s not required.

    If you use the free version of W3 Total Cache, just disable the “Genesis Framework by StudioPress” and “Fragment Cache” extensions from “Performance–>Extensions” menu and everything should work flawlessly after.

    Have you cleared your web browser’s caches after you have deactivated the plugins?

    From the source code of your site, I see that more plugins are currently active.

    The inline CSS code from the HEAD section can only be output by a plugin or a theme (via a .php file).

    It looks like an option for Google Fonts has an empty value and doesn’t load the right font. As you can see below, the font family is missing from the import URL.

    @import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=)

    The font family should have appeared after “family=”, like “family=Roboto”.

    Because this option has no value saved in database, the rest of the CSS code fails to output the right code:

    p { font-family : '' !important; color : !important;}

    I would advise you to disable again all your plugins again.

    Then, clear your browser’s caches, or open your site in a private/incognito window.

    If the problem occurs even when no plugins are active, then switch to another theme.

    Then, see if the problem still occurs.

    If you can find an option responsible for loading Google Fonts (this can be a theme or plugin option), you can then track the source of your problem.

    Setting a valid value for that option should also solve the problem.

    Edit: @brettshumaker has typed faster than me 🙂

    Hi @ericka315,

    Have you purchased a WordPress theme from StudioPress or StudioPress Sites (Managed WordPress Hosting)?

    As Steve has already mentioned, there’s probably something misconfigured with your web server.

    If your web browser downloads your site’s files instead of displaying their content, that might be because PHP is not installed or not configured correctly.

    Glad I was able to help, Ben.

    @yebodave we are trying to help, but you need at least to have some basic understanding of how a website work.

    You said that you have already used WordPress until 2011. That should mean that you already had a bit of knowledge about how a website work. Or, there’s also the possibility that you are making a confusion between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, which are two separate things.

    Besides what I’ve already mentioned, to install WordPress, you also need to have a domain name (or a subdomain) where to install WordPress.

    Then, you need to buy a web hosting plan to host WordPress and its files.

    To connect your domain name with your hosting account, you will have to place the nameservers given by your web hosting company after you register your web hosting plan to your domain management panel (accessible on the site of the company where you’ve registered your domain name from).

    Only then you can install WordPress using one of the methods already mentioned in my first reply.

    I know it might be hard to understand what I’m saying, especially if you don’t understand some of the terms.

    However, you must be willing to put a bit of effort to learn new things if you want to succeed with your goal. We cannot explain now every term here.

    Everything concerning the WordPress installation process is already on the Web. WordPress is one of the best-documented software, and even if an information is not available in the official documentation, there is already an article covering that topic on other websites.

    Just use the search engines to find an explanation to the words or the processes you don’t understand. Otherwise, the easiest path would be to pay a freelancer to install WordPress for you.

    In reply to: No Line breaks

    The content of your post doesn’t seem to be wrapped between the HTML paragraph tags. A new paragraph should move the new content to a new line and leave a nice spaced content.

    When the paragraph tags are present, you almost never need to add the break tag.

    The WordPress editor usually adds a new paragraph for every new text block. However, your theme or a plugin can strip these tags.

    Have you installed any plugins recently, updated WordPress, your theme, or when did you notice the line breaks have vanished?

    After inspecting the source code of your site, it seems that the images from the left side of the page are added with the help of multiple text/HTML widgets.

    Therefore, you should find the widgets under Appearance–>Widgets.

    Next, you have to locate the sidebar registered by the theme (it might be called blog sidebar or something similar) and you should find the text widgets assigned to it.

    Then, you can change the order of the widgets by dragging the widgets up or down in the sidebar.

    That is most likely caused by your theme or one of your active plugins (for example a caching plugin).

    Try deactivating the plugins one by one and switch the theme to track the source of the problem.

    Tu run WordPress, you need:

    – A web hosting server
    – A domain name/subdomain

    You first need a domain name or a subdomain. That will give your site an accessible address like http://www.example.com.

    Then, you need a web hosting server to host the WordPress files and database. You can get that with about $3-$5 per month.

    After you have these two components, you have to connect the domain name to your web hosting account by adding the nameservers addresses given by your web hosting provider to your domain name management panel.

    Next, you can install WordPress as per the instructions of James.

    Thanks Samuel Wood! You just saved me from going crazy. Thought it was from WordPress.
