Sure, glad it helped.

For the ‘menu’ text, I’d suggest reviewing the theme and seeing how that text is being generated in the <nav>, and once determined and you feel good about it, to remove the text ‘menu’ from <label>

To assist with this, you can do a search for that <nav>’s id ‘site-navigation’ and /or that <label>’s id ‘toggle-menu’

I hope this helps, thanks.

Hi,

When researching this topic, there appears to be a lot of discussion and inconsistencies around it. I’m not sure how well supported the Flickr block is or will continue to be.

Could a possible workaround be to upload the image to ‘Media’ via your WP Admin, then add the image as ‘add media’ to page, bypassing the Flickr block?

I hope this helps some, thanks.

Thanks for providing that example site, first time I ever saw a menu like that .. super creative.

My gut says it’s custom code but this seems to come somewhat close to the example site: https://www.megamenu.com/ (particularly demo > tabs > widgets) .. via their documentation there’s an api available, so it also seems highly customizable. Best of both worlds?

Hi,

Just to confirm – what is creating the email template, a plugin? A theme?

Based on this, next step would be looking at their documentation via their website. And if still nothing, perhaps contacting their support?

My guess, is it’s a typo or broken shortcode within the template. To check also that you have the latest version of plugin or theme installed. If not, do a backup of your site before updating either.

I hope this helps!

I’ve used https://www.paidmembershipspro.com/ for site https://www.thehawaiiherald.com and would recommend this membership plugin.

Well supported and documented, and they’re always iterating and improving their products.

They could probably create something that will adjust dynamically to what you described, for e.g. user completes a form and based on input for # of employees the price will update.

Paid Membership Pro uses a number of payment gateways, including Stripe which I hear and read is great to develop with. I believe they also have a network of developers / partners they can refer who can assist with development also.

Sounds like you got the bones and structure of the site up already, congrats! Those are big steps ??

As for the design and front-end of the site, I would check out https://themeforest.net/ where you can review and shop through a lot of different themes that best fit your site.

https://www.wpbeginner.com/glossary/child-theme/ is for some background on the relationship and creation of parent and child themes and their structure required via WordPress.

Regarding “an order form (which I guess I have to write myself?)” – something also to become familiar with WordPress are ‘plugins’ and their usage. For forms specifically, Contact Form 7 is a very popular form plugin to use for your request of an ‘order form.’

Usually plugins that have a high number in downloads / installs, have recent updates, tested for most recent WordPress version, etc. are indicators that they are reliable and well supported.

I hope this helps!

Hi,

I would, as you say, start fresh.

Here’s a high-level breakdown of the steps I’d take:

1. via your host, create a staging site
2. do a fresh install of WordPress on your staging site
3. install only the plugins you plan to use and need on staging site
4. do an export (tools > export) of all content into a xml file from your current-live site
5. import the xml file into staging site (I use plugin WP Importer)
6. I wouldn’t be alarmed if all the images, etc. don’t appear in ‘media’, this will be accessible via ftp via wp-uploads directory
7. then ftp your parent and child themes and uploads into staging site
8. if you have custom posts, expect to export from live site and import them into staging site also via Custom Post Type Plugin (tools)
9. activate appropriate theme on staging site, test, test
10. note some plugins may need updating before or after you deploy staging site (e.g. security plugins, smtp plugins for email, etc.)
11. are the images appearing as expected? What’s their urls? Did the menu(s) come over? Along with pages and posts .. common areas to update / fix are widgets, theme options, anywhere your live site’s url was manually added / updated

I hope this helps! Once your tests are complete, you can update to the new site url via db’s options or the admin GUI via Settings

This link is a bit dated, but hopefully it sparks some ideas / leads for you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5O27KBptBeY

Also, when you check the inspector > network > headers, anything helpful there as far as the requests and responses happening?

Hi,

I noticed when on mobile, there is a margin-left of 15px and margin-right of 30px, could these be evened out more?

Also, is it required to have the text ‘Menu’ with the toggle ‘hamburger’? Reason I ask, is the text contributes to the logo and menu appearing centered. Once removed, it appears much more as you’d expect when on mobile.

If you do decide to remove text ‘Menu’, I’d also suggest adjusting the padding around the #toggle-menu to fit more tightly around the hamburger icon.

I hope this helps, thank you.

Hi Aaron,

Regarding: “CSS Edit History” built in to WordPress by default? – I don’t believe this exists by default, if anything, this may be in a form of a plugin or theme design. But a popular way to track and maintain code is committing code via repositories (e.g. github, bitbucket).

Regarding ‘basic css’ to re-add the borders, try adding ‘solid’ to your css provided .. for example:

li.(appropriate class) {
border: solid white 1px;
}
