First thing to do is check “site health” on the wordpress dashboard. This will let you know if any PHP modules are missing which could have caused a PHP error which triggers the “critical error”.

Next steps:

Do you have access to your hosting? If so, check the PHP log for any errors. That will give you the best idea as to where the problem lies as it will name the script that produced the error.

If you don’t have access to your hosting, deactivate your plugins and one by one until the website works normally with no error.

Once you have a better idea of what script or plugin exactly caused the error you will be able to solve any issues or ask for further help and get a solution here.

Keep in mind there is the odd occasion these errors can be temporary due to hosting issues, so if the site now functions normally with no errrors, just keep an eye on it for a few days and follow the steps above if the error happens again.

Double check the tag NOME tag in the admin section for the auto-responder. Make sure the tag is in the correct format for email and not in the format used for building form. I know I have made this mistake many times over the years when working quickly. Good luck.

You can do something like this. The value here is 1em. This is relative to your default font size. If you make it .5em for example, it will make the date font size half of your default font size, if you make it 2em, it will double it.:

.premium-blog-post-time.premium-blog-meta-data {
    font-size: 1em !important;
}

Or this, where you can simply state a value in pixels. Change 12px to whatever you want:

.premium-blog-post-time.premium-blog-meta-data {
    font-size: 12px !important;
}

Let me know how you got on.

You will see the !important tag, you need this or else the code is being overwritten somewhere else. It’s not good practice to rely on !important but this is a quick fix and all the time I have to help.

Good luck.

I reccomend posting this on the contact form 7 support forum. It is one of the busier support forums and there is more chance someone will have had the same problem and be able to help

Well done, it is hard to find issues sometimes with so many plugins installed. It is worth checking the forum for that plugin to see if other people are having the same problem, if it is it could be fixed with an update.

Good luck with the seach problem. I would start another thread for that and put “search problem” in the title, hopefully someone that has better knowledge of that can chip in.

I can’t see any error, did you manage to fix it? I am using Chrome on Desktop.

Sorry, I’m out of ideas. You did what I would have done by ensuring the site is secure and free of malware, then putitng in removal requests.

If the removal requests have been completed fully (it can take a few days) and new links are still being created, I would worry there still may be some kind of malware problem.

I hope someone else can help you find a solution. Good luck.

I guess if it is a problem you could add a permanent redirect from https://rivets.in/?a32mdsx548880638a to https://rivets.in/

That would signal to google that the “page” had permanently moved. You would need to do this for every one of those links.

This might be overkill and I would check with a respectable SEO source before doing this.

Are these query strings actaually appearing in search results or are they just in search console as referring links?

Most browsers mute autoplay video unless some specific conditions are met. Please see the documentation for your plugin: https://www.sliderrevolution.com/faq/sound-control-audio-video-layers/

Anything after a question mark on a URL is not a URL that actually exists on your website. Nothing has been created.

Anything after the question mark in a URL is a query. Basically some kind of information, such as a referral code, an item to add to a shopping cart, a verison number, a record in a database. It could be anything.

So https://rivets.in/?a32mdsx548880638a is actually just the page https://rivets.in/ and the a32mdsx548880638a part is some kind of information.

For example anyone can make a url to your https://rivets.in/?randomphrase and if people click on that link it will show up in your search console. The reason it is useful there is that some poeple use these queries to track referrals to their site.

First thing to check is the error log on your server, which can give you a clue of where problems may lie.

Next thing to check “Site Health Status”. This will tell you if any PHP modules are missing when you upgraded.

Next check the Javascript console in your browser for errors. This can give a clue where any display errors are coming from.

Next simplest thing to try is to deactivate all the plugins relating to optimising and caching, including Jetpack if you are using the optimisation features in that. Then load your site in Incognito mode or similar. If the site works you know it is a problem with one of those and you need to experiment with settings.

If none of that tells you where the problem lies then you need to deactivate your plugins one by one.

Once you find out where the problems are coming you will have chance of getting help to solve them.

I’m glad you sorted it. Thank you for letting me know.

Hi! What is the paid version you refer to? Is it a plugin, theme or do you have a demo of something? Core WordPress software from www.ads-software.com is free, there is no paid verison.

If you just want to move site between computer and hosting there are a few ways:

1) Manually by copying your files and database to the new server, then updating your permalinks. You need be wary of security holes from a local install, so this is a little advanced.

2) Using a plugin like https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/ (this is not an endorsement)

3) Using software on your PC/Mac like MAMP Pro which is a paid version of MAMP that has an automatic WordPress migration type feature (this is not an endorsement)

Good luck!

Hi, WP Forms has a dedicated forum where you have a better chance of finding someone that uses the plugin, or possibly finding someone that has had a similar issue and solution. The forum is here: https://en-gb.www.ads-software.com/plugins/wpforms-lite/

Good luck!

There is a support forum for that plugin where people are more likely to be able to help you

Here is the link: https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/blog-designer/
