The issue you’re facing is likely due to the behavior of the_permalink() and the_title(). Both functions output directly to the page rather than returning values that can be captured into a variable, which can conflict with ob_start() and prevent capturing the HTML correctly.

To solve this, you need to use the functions that return values (e.g., get_permalink() and get_the_title()) instead of the ones that echo output directly (e.g., the_permalink() and the_title()).

Here’s a corrected version of your function:

function onepost() {

    // Set up the query arguments
    $args = array(
        'post_status'    => 'publish',
        'orderby'        => 'date',
        'order'          => 'DESC',
        'post_type'      => 'post',
        'posts_per_page' => 1,
    );

    // Start output buffering
    ob_start();

    // Run the query
    $query = new WP_Query( $args );

    // Check if the query has posts
    if ($query->have_posts()) :
        while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post();
            // Capture the post permalink and title
            echo '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . get_permalink() . '</a><br />';
            echo get_the_title(); // Output the title of the post
        endwhile;
    endif;

    // Get the contents of the buffer
    $theoutput = ob_get_contents();

    // Clean (flush) the buffer and turn it off
    ob_end_clean();

    // Return the captured HTML content
    return $theoutput;
}

Let me know if this works or if you need further clarification!

Can you please try below version :

function onepost() {

    // Set up the query arguments
    $args = array(
        'post_status'    => 'publish',
        'orderby'        => 'date',
        'order'          => 'DESC',
        'post_type'      => 'post',
        'posts_per_page' => 1,
    );

    // Start output buffering
    ob_start();

    // Run the query
    $query = new WP_Query( $args );

    // Check if the query has posts
    if ($query->have_posts()) :
        while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post();
            // Capture the post permalink and title
            echo '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . get_permalink() . '</a><br />';
            echo get_the_title(); // Output the title of the post
        endwhile;
    endif;

    // Get the contents of the buffer
    $theoutput = ob_get_contents();

    // Clean (flush) the buffer and turn it off
    ob_end_clean();

    // Return the captured HTML content
    return $theoutput;

}

This function now properly captures the query loop’s HTML and returns it as a variable. Would you like further assistance with anything else?

I believe those links are broken. A plugin or code may be adding a ‘broken’ class, which is then calling the CSS (see the screenshot below).

You will need to find the class associated with the broken link or update the CSS accordingly.

Using a Widget and Custom Query

You can use a Custom HTML or Text Widget in combination with a small amount of code to display posts dynamically.Steps:

1. Go to Appearance > Widgets in your WordPress admin.
2. Add a Text or Custom HTML widget to your sidebar.
3. Paste the following PHP code inside your theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin (not directly in the widget):

function singles_category_posts() {
    // Query to fetch posts from the "Singles" category
    $args = array(
        'category_name' => 'singles', // Slug of your category
        'posts_per_page' => 5, // Number of posts to show
    );

    $query = new WP_Query($args);

    if ($query->have_posts()) {
        echo '<div class="singles-widget">';
        echo '<h3>Latest Singles</h3>';
        echo '<ul>';
        while ($query->have_posts()) {
            $query->the_post();
            echo '<li><a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . get_the_title() . '</a></li>';
        }
        echo '</ul>';
        echo '</div>';
    } else {
        echo '<p>No singles yet!</p>';
    }

    wp_reset_postdata();
}

Add the function output to your sidebar by embedding it in the widget like this:

<?php if (function_exists('singles_category_posts')) singles_category_posts(); ?>

Using a Plugin for Dynamic Sidebar Content

If you’re not comfortable adding custom code, a plugin can help.Recommended Plugins:

• Display Posts – Post Listing Plugin
  • Install and activate the plugin.
  • Add a Text widget to your sidebar and use the following shortcode:shortcodeCopy code[display-posts category="singles" posts_per_page="5"]
• Widget Logic
  • Install the plugin.
  • Use conditional tags to target your category in a widget.

Adding a Custom Sidebar File (Advanced)

If you’d like more control, you can directly edit your sidebar template (sidebar.php) in your theme:

1. Open your theme’s sidebar.php file.
2. Insert this code where you’d like the posts to appear:

<?php singles_category_posts(); ?>

If you can’t log in to your WordPress admin dashboard, follow these steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

Check Login Credentials

• Ensure you’re entering the correct username and password.
• If you’ve forgotten your password, click the “Lost your password?” link on the login page and reset it via email.

Reset Password via phpMyAdmin

If you cannot reset your password via email:

1. Log in to your hosting control panel (cPanel, Plesk, etc.).
2. Open phpMyAdmin and select your WordPress database.
3. Locate the wp_users table.
4. Find your username and click Edit.
5. In the user_pass field:
   • Select MD5 under the “Function” column.
   • Enter your new password (e.g., NewPassword123).
6. Save the changes and log in with the new password.

Adding a comment section to your WordPress blog depends on the theme and settings you’re using. Here’s a step-by-step guide to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:1. Check WordPress Settings

• Go to Settings > Discussion in your WordPress dashboard.
• Ensure the option “Allow people to submit comments on new posts” is checked.
• Verify that the “Automatically close comments on posts older than X days” option (if enabled) isn’t affecting your posts.

2. Enable Comments for Specific Posts

• Go to Posts > All Posts, hover over the post, and click Edit.
• In the Post Settings/Options panel, locate the Discussion box. If you don’t see it:
  • Click on the Screen Options button at the top-right corner and enable the Discussion checkbox.
• Ensure the Allow Comments option is checked.

3. Theme Compatibility

Some WordPress themes may not display comment sections by default. To ensure compatibility:

• Check your theme settings (often under Appearance > Customize) for an option to enable comments.
• If comments are still not showing, you may need to edit your theme files (e.g., single.php or comments.php) or switch to a theme that supports comments.

4. Plugins

• Check for Conflicting Plugins: Some plugins might disable comments. Disable plugins one by one to see if any are causing the issue.
• Install a Comment Plugin: If your theme lacks support for comments, consider using plugins like:
  • Jetpack Comments
  • Disqus Comment System

5. Custom Code (If Necessary)

If you’re customizing the theme and comments still aren’t appearing, ensure your theme’s template includes the following code where the comments should appear:

php

Copy code

<?php if (comments_open() || get_comments_number()) : ?> <?php comments_template(); ?> <?php endif; ?> 6. Cache and Browser Issues

• Clear your site’s cache if you’re using a caching plugin.
• Clear your browser cache and check if the comments section appears.

If these steps don’t solve your issue, please share more details, like:

• The theme you’re using.
• Any specific plugins you’ve installed for comments or customizations you’ve made.

The errors are not site-specific, as others have experienced the same issue. It’s related to deprecated functions that the Yoast developers would need to replace with newer methods.
