In reply to: Can’t turn off the auto-updater!You’re right, most of those plugins offer similar functionality as doing them manually if you don’t mind editing config files.
As best as I can tell, there was an auto-update error that’s now been fixed. Please see https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/51679 and https://www.ads-software.com/news/2020/10/wordpress-5-5-3-maintenance-release/.

In reply to: Exporting and Importing WebpagesHello @oeadevelopers,
The Export Tool lets you download the following items from your WordPress site (https://www.ads-software.com/support/article/tools-export-screen/#filters-and-other-options):
All content – export all of your posts, pages, comments, custom fields, terms, navigation menus, and custom posts.
Many themes store their settings inside the WordPress database. As you have transferred the site’s content but not its database, many theme and plugin settings and configurations are missing. The export tool does not transfer plugins or themes either.
There several plugins that make it easy to move your entire WordPress site:
- All-in-One WP Migration: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/
- Duplicator: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/duplicator/
This support article also explains how to move your WordPress site: https://www.ads-software.com/support/article/moving-wordpress/

Have you tried using a plugin like Easy Updates Manager to disable the updates: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/stops-core-theme-and-plugin-updates/?
You’re welcome! Glad you managed to get your site looking cleaner!

In reply to: Heavy and slow site, security blocks remote IP for support.You’re welcome!
No problem! I sometimes find it difficult to choose between plugins, and I’ve used WordPress for many years!
I use Wordfence Security. More sites use Wordfence (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wordfence/) compared to All In One WP Security (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall/).
I’m not familiar with EWWW Image Optimizer. It’s plugin page (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/ewww-image-optimizer/) says it only optimizes images but does not host them. Jetpack by WordPress.com optimizes and hosts your images, which should make them load much quicker. Jetpack also offers many other useful features for your site, so I’d use that.
Out of the optimization plugins, I’d choose WP-Optimize – Clean, Compress, Cache. However, I prefer WP Super Cache as it’s easier to set up (it’s developed by the same company behind WordPress): https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-super-cache/. And you can use WP Super Cache with Autoptimize: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/autoptimize/.

In reply to: Theme ChangesHello @beholdthe1trueking,
Please add the following CSS code in the Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS section of your WordPress Admin dashboard:
/*--- CENTER ALIGN LOGO ON MOBILE --- -----------------------------------*/ @media (max-width: 768px) { .navbar .title-logo-wrapper { margin: 0 auto; padding-left: 43px; } .navbar-toggle-wrapper { margin-left: 0; } }
Could you please explain what you mean by the food of the header categories? Do you mean the font? If so, you can make the menus in the header bold by adding this code to the Customizer:
/*--- HEADER NAV TYPOGRAPHY --- ------------------------------*/ .navbar .navbar-nav>li a { font-weight: bold; }
Keep in mind that some themes will allow you to make additional changes, such as changing the font weight (e.g., from normal to bold), through the Customizer. One example is https://www.ads-software.com/themes/astra/.
Also, I recommend asking for help in future at https://www.ads-software.com/support/theme/hestia/ so the theme’s developers and support community who know the Hestia theme best can help you.

In reply to: Blog post won’t publish since unwanted WP updateHello @collinsassassination,
The URL you shared is for a WordPress.com blog, which we really can’t help with here.
To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and www.ads-software.com are two different entities: https://www.ads-software.com/support/article/wordpress-vs-wordpress-com/.
WordPress.com has complete documentation and support contacts at https://wordpress.com/support/.

In reply to: Woocommerce shop appearance faulyHello @phakathi,
Are you referring to this PopularFX plugin: https://popularfx.com/plugin/? It’s part of the PopularFX: https://www.ads-software.com/themes/popularfx/ theme.
It seems like this plugin/theme controlled your site’s appearance. Your site’s appearance changed once you deleted it. If you install the plugin again, you should be able to restore your site’s appearance.
You could also try installing the Storefront theme to see if that works: https://woocommerce.com/Storefront/. It’s made by the WooCommerce developers and should work correctly.
If not, I recommend asking at https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/woocommerce/ so the WooCommerce developers and support community can help you with this.

In reply to: Strange plugin in Must-Use sectionHello @ppaulikelis,
Looks like the Installatron Plugin: https://installatron.com/plugin/faq. This software is meant for web hosting control panel platforms. I recommend contacting your web host to find out whether this plugin is part of their hosting platform.

In reply to: Can’t turn off the auto-updater!Hello @heman321,
The code you added to your wp-config.php file is correct.
It’s possible that something from your web hosting control panel is set to auto-update WordPress. For instance, Softaculous can auto-update WordPress, which you can try disabling.
