Did you update to wordpress 5 from 4.9?

Did you do a backup beforehand? It seems others have had the same problem with the update so maybe you can try downgrading to 4.9 until the the issue is fixed in the customizer.

Right, I managed to get in by changing the define WP_SITEURL and WP_HOME in wp-config to have the /wordpress after – so it became eavi.eu/wordpress

Hahaha – what’s gonna happen when I change it back?

Do I have to change something in Settings on the Dashboard?

Ah, good point. So it seems to want to read an old joomla install still sitting on the server?

And sorry I didn’t see your previous msg – I did try putting the htaccess file back in again.

I just tried on another computer and got this in plsace of the other error:

Warning: require_once(/web/htdocs/www.eavi.eu/home/includes/defines.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /web/htdocs/www.eavi.eu/home/index.php on line 21

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘/web/htdocs/www.eavi.eu/home/includes/defines.php’ (include_path=’.:/php5.6/lib/php/’) in /web/htdocs/www.eavi.eu/home/index.php on line 21

The About Us page and also the project page.

The blog page was doing it a couple of days ago but now it’s stopped.

Also, it does it on my computer and my bosses computer but not one of the other office computers. Pff, I don’t know what’s going on

I was never able to solve it, actually.

Thanks.

I’ll check with them

Thanks> I was in a bit of a panic. I’ll try disabling plugins too

Resolved

Eventually I got round to removing it using the id tag. My CSS wasn’t altering because of WP Super Cache and I had to remove all the cache files properly. Lesson learnt about caching plugins.

Still not sure how the google+ link got in the header but it’s been removed anyway.

I guess I’ll mark this as resolved?

It turns out that it had something to do with my child theme. I went back and used this script:

// Faster than @import
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘my_child_theme_scripts’ );
function my_child_theme_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-theme-css’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’ );
}

in my child themes functions.php file and deleted the styles I had copied over from the parent css file.

A good lesson about doing things properly the first time round.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks so much for that. I have a better idea of what I should be looking for at least. I’ll get onto woothemes and keep the thread updated about the issue in case anyone has a similar problem.

Cheers.
