Thanks @sterndata, and happy to see you.
Its something that stupid ain’t it? And to say i wrote this theme code some 10 years back. But it worked until now. Strange.
Anyways thanks again and sorry for the trouble.

Thats the very basics @tlmaurer.
I suggest you read up a bit about WordPress before you proceed any further. Some pointers:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Themes#Selecting_the_Active_Theme
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Pages#Page_Templates
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Getting_Started_with_WordPress
You need atleast a basic understanding of the admin dashboard and how stuff works.

Alternatively you could hire a developer who can look into your code and wordpress setup and get things fixed. Dont pay huge, this is minor level for a WP dev. Try https://jobs.wordpress.net/ or https://directory.codepoet.com/ or any other online freelance marketplace.

Ok so your pages and posts are working properly.
So no harm done to anything except to your blogs page – https://www.maurerconsultinggroup.com/designing-strategies-blog/.

Since you mentioned that you made changes to the page via editor, we can isolate the case of you editing the respective php files.

Try,
1. Switch to a different theme (say twenty fifteen), visit site, and then switch back to your ‘Maurer Consulting’ theme. Clear cache if you have. Then check.

2. Go to your dashboard. go to Pages -> All pages. Now open the blog page (the one corresponding to https://www.maurerconsultinggroup.com/designing-strategies-blog/) in editor.
On right-hand-side, look for the ‘Template‘ dropdown box in ‘Page Attributes’ block (It should be right under Update button and parent dropdown box).
Look for template named Blog page or Homepage or any similarly named ones which you guess could be used for this page. Change it to that (remember the current template as well so you can switch back later if not working). Update page, clear cache and check.
Note: If you have CDN then give it some time to purge (as in, it might take upto ~4hours for page to show new contents).

3. Open your Blog Page in Editor and copy-paste all the contents here so we can check. Basically we are looking for php embed codes within coz there are some plugins which support php editing in ‘text’ view in editor. This is highly unlikely but just in case. You can either paste the contents here using back-tick’/`’ or paste it in wordpress.pastebin.com and share link.

if all of this doesnt work then we can dig into permalinks and if somethings messed up there…

Hi..
Does this happen with all pages?
Do you have a page and post with the same name (and slug)? You made changes to permalink hence asked. They would clash if so.
Do tell us exactly which file (like page.php or content-page.php or category.php) you edited.
I hope you were working on a child theme. So what was the previous block of code? And what did you replace it with?
And finally, what is it that you wanted to be done exactly? As in, the image and paragraph are static content hardcoded into code, or dynamic content fetched from WP DB or other sources?

Currently your content area (within div id=”content”) code is rendered as:

<!-- BEGIN: CONTENT -->
<div id="content">
<h2>Blog</h2>
<h3><span style="color: #800000;">Designing Strategies:  The Blog</span></h3>
contents.......
<span class="article_seperator">?</span>
<!-- END: MAIN CONTENT -->
<!-- END: CONTENT -->
</div>

Great!
Do mark thread as resolved.

Thanks for taking time and explaining. unfortunately we have hit a roadblock.
i cant see your website structure
that plugin is paid stuff (and am not purchasing :P)
11 pages means gotto check code placement and integration
yours seems to be a ecom website. so need to check what other plugins you use.

I suggest hiring a dev.

Yours is a paid theme – https://weblizar.com/themes/enigma-premium/. No help from Devs support?

Anyways…
If you have a file called front-page.php in your theme folder, then edit that. Or if you have you set any of your pages as homepage via Dashboard -> Settings -> Reading? Then edit that page template. If not, then check for home.php file and edit. If not, then edit index.php (highly unlikely!).

search within the file the block of code contained within:
<div id="enigma_portfolio_section" class="enima_photo_gallery">
in that, you would ideally find a WP loop with 'numberposts' => 4 or posts_per_page = 4 or some similar parameter. change that to ‘2’ to show only 2 posts.

Also remember to change the class of posts from .col-lg-3 to .col-lg-6 to make them show with 50% width instead of 25% (bootstrap).

do take backups and work on child theme and edit with care.

in your style.css line #626, change –
#content .post p:first-of-type {
to
#content .inside > p:first-of-type {

Still there in 4.2.2.
Goto Dashboard -> Tools -> Export. Click ‘posts’ radio button. you can choose Author and export.

You will need to have a deep understanding of WordPress structure and “Custom Fields” for posts and pages. Esp since you want the registered users (not admin/WP developer) to use it, so placement is key.
Alternatively, there are plugins (and themes) which can help you with it. The net is full of it. A simple Google search should do.

Copying is as good as moving wordpress to different location.
Did you make necessary changes such as changing site URL etc?
Tutorial – https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Moving_WordPress

I faced a similar issue when i tried to convert a WordPress installation to multisite on a shared server. I couldnt find a fix back then had to roll back implementation. Changes were primarily made to wp-config.php and htaccess files. So, did you happen to make any other changes to htaccess or wp-config? or try creating a htaccess if its not present already.

Whats your website?
How have you implemented the carousal? As in, used a plugin, or used a code from web and deployed in your theme file/s?
Which all pages does the carousal show up in?
What are the contents in the carousal? I mean, are they static/fixed contents, or change according to post/category/etc?
I assume the text to change as per your request is the title of posts (the_title()) being displayed in the carousal? Or is it the content? Or some other text?

If you are using a plugin for the carousal then modifying that code is tricky coz you gotto modify the plugin files probably, which is highly not advisable for beginners.

Yes, you can create a function in functions.php file and call it wherever you want the carousal to show up. But again, that depends on what is contained in your carousal. is it ‘featured-images’ from a set of posts or set of images with direct path and static? depending on where you are placing the function(), the implementation may vary.

if you are unsure of all of this and editing wordpress theme files, then i honestly suggest to hire a WordPress developer coz this isnt easy per se. i thought you were working on the files already hence i shared the fiddle code.

Oh.. you mentioned “Adding a path for temp uploads (“/tmp”) on php.ini” so i thought you are comfortable editing your server config files.
Anyways glad to know things are working now.
Please mark thread as resolved.
Cheers..

Automatically got fixed after 1-2 days!
Closing thread.

Here.. created a fiddle :- https://jsfiddle.net/shadez/hjLk9do6/

you will need to make changes to your theme files. modifying slider code complicates stuff. hope you know how to.
edit with care and with backups.
