Hi Liz,

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I wasn’t anywhere near my computer yesterday to respond.

Here are the screenshots:
Without sticky position, WP Block: https://ibb.co/i5CHap
Broken WP Block with sticky: https://ibb.co/ebvs89

1. WordPress URL embedded: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/health-check/
2. Sticky code:

h2.sticky, h3.sticky, h4.sticky {
    position: -webkit-sticky;
    position: sticky;
    top: 48px;
    padding: 10px;
    background: white;
    border: 2px solid #ccc;
	  z-index:100;
	  margin: 0 -45px;
}

3. I’ve also stylized the blockquote quite a bit, which is what the WordPress Block is also using, so perhaps it’s part of the conflict when position:sticky is also in use.

blockquote,blockquote::before {color:#888;}
blockquote {margin-left:60px;}
blockquote::before {
font-family:FontAwesome;
content:"\f044";
font-size:50px;
float:left;
margin-top:-5px;
margin-left:-60px;}
.entry-content .wp-block-quote p:before {
content: "Quote...";
display: block;
font-style:italic;
font-size:2em}
blockquote::after{
font-family:FontAwesome;
content:"\f10e";
float:right;
margin-top:-50px;}

4. Code from editor that I used to replicate issue:

I’ve used the same theme on over ten websites, and this is the only site that’s having this issue. Woudn’t it more likely be a plugin issue instead of the theme? If I came to any kind of conclusion that it was theme related, I would be over at Studio Press begging for an answer.

Thanks to your plugin recommendation, I have a tiny bit of proof that the no parent category plugin is the likely problem, or at least is a contributing factor. I’m just about to test that theory now.

And its a managed VPS, that should be configured properly over the amount of times I’ve bugged them with this issue, discussing all the possibilities of server errors to fix this. I was essentially at my wits end when I made this request for help from those who deal with WordPress day to day, and would have a better understanding of a problem I haven’t come across before to know how to start dealing with it.

As it shown above it my original post, Genesis is the theme (or at least the framework.) I have a VPS.

Thanks for the recommended plugin songdogtech, I’m eager to test it. Couldn’t seem to get an answer out of the other debug plugin I was using. Hoping this is the key, thanks again.

Not sure if this is the case, but looking at the two sites, the one major difference is the stylesheet being called. The site from WBM is calling on red.css instead of style.css.

Some themes let you choose a colour for the theme, that will change which stylesheet is being used. If you can change back to the “Red” theme, there’s a good chance your site’s theme will come back, assuming the original designer put all the customized css under the red.css file instead of the intended style.css file.

Just a guess… one stylesheet that differs is that the current site shows the style sheet:
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” media=”all” href=” https://www.lovealwaysbook.com/wp-content/themes/monaco/style.css”&gt;

The WBM one shows this as the stylesheet:
<link href=”https://www.lovealwaysbook.com/wp-content/themes/monaco/css/colors/red.css&#8221; rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css”>

Some themes let you choose to style a site by colour, and its possible that the original designer decided to put all the site stylings under the “red.css” stylesheet instead of the site’s main style.css file.

If there’s a way to switch back to the Red colour choice, there’s a small chance that all the styling will come back for the site.

Sorry Tara, but I already wrote in my post that I did that essentially.

I get that a lot of questions regarding the same subject can be answered simply by google/lmgtfy, but I did mention I’ve combed for an answer for more than a month now. I’ve seen that page already. I actually re-read it three times now to make sure you weren’t imparting something else that I must have missed over and over.

There is something occuring, most likely with the taxonomy to create this error. And instead of putting a bandaid on it by extending the time limit further, I’d like to see if there is someone with added insight on where to look to start fixing this.

After toggling through different general setting options, I’ve found this error has to do with the Object Cache. Any ideas on what’s happening?

I’m also using Lucid from Elegant Themes, and while my site didn’t crash, it has messed up my widgets page (none of the titles are showing up for each widget box;) I’m pretty sure it published a page of mine when I only wanted it in draft (and had to go to Twitter, FB, Tumblr, and LinkedIn to delete the post link;) it has definitely messed up with the CSS of text boxes and buttons on the admin side of my site. I’m reverting back to the last plugin version ’cause this one isn’t stable for me.

I had to change line 314 to:

$xml=simplexml_load_file("https://api.twitter.com/1/users/show/"."$user".".xml");
