In reply to: Unknown collation: 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci'I’m in the same boat and just made a thread asking the same thing.
This is what is causing the problem.
There are a few replies in that thread with the same problem and no responses.
That’s a shame. I was going to use this plugin until I read this response.

In reply to: Greyed out area on homepageI’m not seeing anything broken but maybe I’m missing it. Here is what those pages look like on my screen:
fundingmytravel.com – https://i.imgur.com/O0J8RSL.png
fundingmytravel.com/home/ – https://i.imgur.com/gVlxPxb.jpgThat’s in Firefox, looks the same in Chrome.

In reply to: [WooCommerce] A single product that ships in multiple boxesI took another glance at Product Bundles and it seems like the best option for what he is selling.
In the meantime I suggested to WooCommerce the idea of allowing a single product to have multiple shipping containers. For clients that sell large products (furniture in my client’s case), this becomes quite common to have to ship multiple boxes.

In reply to: Greyed out area on homepageYou’re looking for style.css in your themes folder. If you’re using FTP then it would be in wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/style.css

In reply to: Greyed out area on homepageI’m not sure what exactly you want your homepage to look like but it’s a matter of adjusting your CSS to get the look you want. The grey area is part of your theme, found here:
.featured-content {
background: #000 url(images/pattern-dark.svg) repeat fixed;
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
}You can change this:
background: #000 url(images/pattern-dark.svg) repeat fixed;
To this:
background: #000;That will remove the grey area and turn it black. If you don’t want it to have such a tall height you can also find this piece of CSS:
.featured-content .post-thumbnail {
display: block;
position: relative;
padding-top: 55.357142857%;
overflow: hidden;
}Just delete:
padding-top: 55.357142857%;My understanding of the Twenty Fourteen theme you are using is that it is meant to be for a magazine style blog so images are a big part of that which you don’t seem to be using, thus the large grey area where images are meant to appear showcasing some of your featured blog posts on your homepage.

In reply to: Twitter link is wrong handleSince you are using WordPress.com, I would recommend using their forums because there is probably an option in the settings to do what you want.

In reply to: Site title issuesI use the code below and Yoast SEO to configure my page titles. Hopefully that helps a bit.
<title><?php wp_title( '|', true, 'right' ); ?></title>
“I simply want to display a “latest 3 posts” section on my website.”
That sounds like what RSS is made for. If you need a starting point you can just search for RSS widgets on Google and you’ll get a ton of sites that will basically do it for you. Though it seems you know how to do this and what you need is rather simple to begin with.

In reply to: Site title issuesWhile that is an improvement, it’s definitely not the fix you want. The problem with that is that now every page on your website is going to have the same title which will hurt you with regards to SEO and isn’t particularly helpful to your users.

In reply to: Error creating the CSS / JS minify cacheI assume that was a plugin you have deleted at some point and now your caching plugin is looking for something that doesn’t exist. You can check your minify cache settings and remove that file from the list of files you want it to minify.

In reply to: Site title issuesThis could be an issue with your theme. You could check the “header.php” file for your theme and see what is in the “<title></title>” tag.

In reply to: Work on a Post Before PublishingThere is a gray “Save Draft” button in the Publish box. If I’m understanding you, that is what you are looking for.

In reply to: When site redirects, it looks weird and wonky. HELP!?!I don’t think this is a WordPress issue but instead an issue with your hosting. As far as I can tell you have those as two different sites and one is not redirecting to the other.
