Works! Thanks!

Update:
I still haven’t solved this but:
a. I did change out the legacy widget for the newer block widget. Didn’t help.
b. I decided to use categories to narrow things down. Made a category called “testimonials” and applied it to all testimonials. Then told the widget to only show that category. That solved it on the home page EXCEPT:
c. Now the pages where the widget was showing POSTS (not testimonials but blog posts) now show nothing. Apparently because the “testimonial” category doesn’t apply to any of the blog posts.
d. I tried going to the default theme 2014 (this theme is a child of that). It didn’t solve it.
e. I tried deleting my child theme files one at a time. That didn’t solve it.

Theme: Custom starting with the underscores theme. Pretty simple.

Plugins:
Contact Form 7
Easy Google Fonts
Flamingo
MetaSlider
Really Simple SSL
Regenerate Thumbnails
Wordfence Security
WP Featherlight (lightbox)
WP Responsive Menu
WP Super Cache
WP-DBManager
Toast SEO

Just FYI, I solved this by replace the JPG with a PNG file. Found somewhere online that Safari doesn’t like large JPGs as backgrounds sometimes. I don’t know why but PNG worked.

Thanks!
The template override info is what I need.

And I did get the custom-entry-order addon. The problem I had with it was that I wanted one inn featured on the LODGING page and another featured on the FOOD page. Both inns are in both categories and they both float to the top. I couldn’t figure out a workaround.

But the template override will let me get there.

Thanks again.
Jim

Similar problem here: memory problems crashed the site. Deleting Wordfence let the site work again. Following here hoping for solution. Thanks!

To revert to 4.7, go to

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/contact-form-7/advanced/

and find “Previous Versions” at the bottom.

Download 4.7 and upload it to your site’s plugin directory. I kept a backup of the more recent version.

Reverting to 4.7 did work for me, though I know it’s not a perfect solution. I can’t figure out where REST API is turned off but apparently it is.

I’m having a similar problem. After update, the plugin stopped working. I get the spinning wheel of progress forever and no info.

I don’t think I have REST API disabled but am also not able to see it at mysite.com/wp-json/

So maybe it is?

Yoast seems to think it’s best to simply allow all.

Well, that mostly worked but it’s still returning an error for one PHP file/script, apparently due to the WordFence plugin:

https://MYSITE.us/site2014/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wordfence_logHuman&hid=1717E62F164CDE77F5220B2D3B3B7AA4&r=0.03589733876287937

which is blocked because it’s in wp-admin/

Thanks Anton, but that didn’t fix it for me.
Does that slash syntax conflict with older versions of PHP?

And this is lines 160 and 161:

//** Preload WPLT */
      new \UsabilityDynamics\WPLT\Bootstrap();

Also, anyone having the same problem and needing an older version (as I did) can find them here:
https://github.com/wp-plugins/wp-invoice/releases

Same problem here. Upgrading to PHP 5.5 didn’t help.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/… …/wp-content/plugins/wp-invoice/wp-invoice.php on line 161

This solved it for me: A simple change to httpd.conf:

And in MAMP 3, you just pull down the File Menu to File Templates. httpd.conf is under apache.
