In reply to: WP 5.0.1 ‘publishing failed’May be helpful if you’ve tried a lot of things.
For me /wp-json/wp/v2/posts worked fine so I ruled out REST api issues.
Another install on my server setup didn’t have this issue so it wasn’t a php.ini config thing or my version of apache or php. Default theme and no plugins activated didn’t fix either.In my case this was related to uploading SVGs via the media uploader. If the above is true for you, here’s how to determine if this is your issue: I recreated the issue by doing the following:
- Update to WordPress 5.0.2
- Make SVG uploadable via media uploader
- Upload an SVG via media uploader
- Result: Updated Failed / Publishing Failed
Having cc_mime_types SVG activated in functions.php and then uploading a (well-formed and valid) SVG exported from Adobe Illustrator
For now I am commenting out my cc_mime_types function and not allowing SVG until this is sorted.

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] ON SENT (additional settings)Maybe try the following:
on_sent_ok: "ga('send', 'event', 'Contact Form', 'Sent'); location='https://www.driftstories.com/thank-you';"
You can also check your source code and/or use Tag Assistant chrome extension to check if the goal is added correctly instead of waiting to see if it shows up in GA 24-48 hours later.
Also, you can use on_submit hook and use a separate goal. That way you can troubleshoot onclick events vs on sent confirmed events.

In reply to: Text on SlideIt really sounds like you need to just hire a developer for tweaks. It shouldn’t cost more than $50 to have someone make some css changes for you.

In reply to: Datepicker z-index issueI added that and checked it in the console. And I can see it working on your site.
Regarding your text disappearing, it looks like you tried to change the z-index of slider related divs. It’s unrelated from what I can see.
You can add the following to the bottom of your stylesheet:
.tp-simpleresponsive .caption, .tp-simpleresponsive .tp-caption { z-index: 9999 !important; }
that fixed it when I tested it.
That’s a Kreisi theme.
When it’s a theme specific issue, premium themes usually have decent support. You can get support for the issue at https://www.kriesi.at/support/?envato_item_id=400938

In reply to: Datepicker z-index issueYou can add that at the bottom of your site’s style.css file. It’s just a more direct way of declaring the selector in the context of its div id and div class.
Datepicker.js has it’s own default css but you don’t want to change that. If it doesn’t override the datepicker css, you can use the select in your style.css “#ui-datepicker-div”

In reply to: REDIRECTING URLsYou are talking about the pink navigation bar at the top? This is in your style.css file:
#secondary-menu { width: 100%; /* background: #333; */ background: #fdeae9; position: relative; }
That background is the pink color you can change that or add the following to the bottom of the stylesheet in Appearance > Editor (this would change it to the hexidecimal for a dark grey color)
#secondary-menu { background: #333333 }

In reply to: pop up with spinning circle wont populateno problem. just keep in mind that with theme specific issues the best person to talk to is the theme developer. It looks like you purchased the theme through themeforest and the url I found for the developer I posted above. I would really submit a support ticket with them.

In reply to: Cannot log in after botched site URL changeIt just seems odd that you were able to get the site back up. Can you share what you added to functions.php?
When you changed the settings do you mean in the wordpress dashboard you changed the wordpress address url and hit save and then it disappeared?
If so, go into phpmyadmin in your hosting account for the database as listed in your wp-config.php file. Then go to the table “wp_options” and if option_id 1 is not your intended url, then change the option_value for the option_name siteurl to the original url path.

In reply to: pop up with spinning circle wont populateYou don’t have a plugin called something like jquery colorbox, you mean?
https://katherinemhudson.com/wp-content/themes/adapt/js/jquery.colorbox.js?ver=4.0
that’s the .js file right there. there’s about 8 scripts using jquery on your site. that one looks like it’s in your theme’s js folder. so I would ask your theme developer about it at https://designerthemes.com/support/ and say the cboxLoadingGraphic div pops up and just keeps loading with nothing in it.
for a temporary fix you can add the following to the bottom of your theme’s stylesheet in Appearance > Editor:
#cboxOverlay { background: none !important; } #colorbox { display:none !important;}
but i wouldn’t stop there. I’d figure it out. it could keep your site slow if you just hide it with css

In reply to: WordPress dates on categories are incorrectHi Mike,
I’m not really sure what you’re asking. I looked at a couple categories on your site and none of the posts in them have today’s date as the publish date. Can you send a direct link to the problem and elaborate?
Just off the bat, some hosting companies have a daily, weekly, and monthly backup of your site that they can revert to if you call support.

Have you tried switching to the Twenty Fourteen theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?
