it’s the empty <h2> inside <div class="showcase-hero"> what causes the gap.

Remove it or add an specific class and adjust the margins because the template.css has margin:25px 0 10px; for all the headings

I used the redirection plugin to manage the redirects in a similar change in permalinks.

Give it a try

oops…

forgot to add the backticks

… Try adding a couple of <br />

ok, give this a try:

<?php
$the_author_description = apply_filters("the_content",get_the_author_meta('description');
echo $the_author_description;?>

and for the line breaks, it’s odd because in my test it works just like the main editor. Try adding a couple of

Your visitors have to register at: https://www.theresident.net/www.new.theresident.net/wp-login.php?action=register

You have to point your visitors there by placing this link in a prominent place

To display the bio with format you have to process the contents of it first.

Assuming you got the user data by using:

$userdata = get_userdata(intval($author));

The biographical info is in: $userdata->user_description, and to display it the way you want, apply the filter ‘the_content’ to it

$user_description = apply_filters("the_content",$userdata->user_description);
echo $user_description;

This should display the bio with line breaks or the format you entered.

there are many plugins to do that, try Twitter tools

This should get you in the right direction:
Template Tags/get posts

Function Reference/get post

oops, small error in my previous post:

<?php if(!is_home() and !is_search() and !is_single()) {
/* For non-blog pages */ ?>
  <?php
if ($post->post_parent) {
echo "<h4>.get_the_title($post->post_parent);echo "</h4>";
} else {
echo "<h4>";wp_title('');echo "</h4>";
}
if($post->post_parent)
$children = wp_list_pages("sort_column=menu_order&depth=2&title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0"); else $children = wp_list_pages("sort_column=menu_order&depth=2&title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
if ($children) { ?>
<ul>
<?php echo $children; ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>

Try with this:

<?php if(!is_home() and !is_search() and !is_single()) {
/* For non-blog pages */ ?>
  <?php
if ($post->post_parent) {
echo "<h4>.get_the_title($post->ID);echo "</h4>";
} else {
echo "<h4>";wp_title('');echo "</h4>";
}
if($post->post_parent)
$children = wp_list_pages("sort_column=menu_order&depth=2&title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0"); else $children = wp_list_pages("sort_column=menu_order&depth=2&title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
if ($children) { ?>
<ul>
<?php echo $children; ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>

you are right, 19 queries shouldn’t be a problem, perhaps another application is causing the load, because 6.2 seconds for 19 queries is high.

Have you tried to verify the number of queries per page request?.
Add to the footer.php of your theme this: <!– <?php echo get_num_queries(); ?> queries. <?php timer_stop(1); ?> seconds. –> and visit some pages of your site checking for the result of the code above in the page source (disable the cache first), this will give you an idea of the pages with the highest number of queries.

With this you can figure if it’s caused by a plugin or by multiple loops in the template and work to optimize or reduce the number of queries

Even with WP Super Cache enabled at some point depending of your sites activity WordPress has to regenerate the page.

It’s not a plugin or wordpress issue, what you see in the header is an image set in the CSS of the theme, your blog title (Andy Johns) is hidden because the CSS of the theme sets it at 9000px to the left.

upload a logo image to the ‘images/’ directory with the name ‘logo.jpg’ in the theme or edit the CSS to fix this
