Just to report back: In my case my hosting company had moved my site to a different server and I was notified after the fact. So I had ftp’d my files to the wrong place. Never mind then, all is well now

same here, did anyone have an answer for that?

Hi James, yes that is correct.
In the meantime i did a complete fresh WordPress install and recreated the site from scratch. There was something evil in the database. I will have to check out php7 and see how that works with the latest WordPress version. I have not tried it with any of my sites and hope it won’t be a nightmare. Thanks for the follow up.

Latest update: I used sweep to clean my database.No result. I deleted all of the plugins and my theme and just used twentysixteen: same problem. When I go to Customize in the dashboard I get this message : ( I replaced the url with …)

Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘Illegal widget setting ID: nav_menu_item[]’ in /home/dawn2011/….com/wp-includes/customize/class-wp-customize-nav-menu-item-setting.php:182 Stack trace: #0 /home/dawn2011/…..com/wp-includes/class-wp-customize-nav-menus.php(594): WP_Customize_Nav_Menu_Item_Setting->__construct(Object(WP_Customize_Manager), ‘nav_menu_item[]’, Array) #1 [internal function]: WP_Customize_Nav_Menus->customize_register(Object(WP_Customize_Manager)) #2 /home/dawn2011/….com/wp-includes/plugin.php(524): call_user_func_array(Array, Array) #3 /home/dawn2011/….com/wp-includes/class-wp-customize-manager.php(605): do_action(‘customize_regis…’, Object(WP_Customize_Manager)) #4 [internal function]: WP_Customize_Manager->wp_loaded(”) #5 /home/dawn2011/….com/wp-includes/plugin.php(524): call_user_func_array(Array, Array) #6 /home/dawn2011/….com/wp-settings.php(432): do_action(‘wp_loaded’) #7 in /home/dawn2011/….com/wp-includes/customize/class-wp-customize-nav-menu-item-setting.php on line 182

OK update: I deleted all the files except wp-config and wp-content folder and re-uploaded, same problem. deactivated all plugins again and tried twentysixteen, could not make a new page. Maybe I have to start from the beginning?
I did notice there were a lot of really long _transient files in the database, not sure if that has anything to do with the problem.

Hi James, Thanks for your quick answer.
I deactivated all of the plugins and tried out Twenty sixteen and could not add a new page. Same error
Any other ideas? Should i revert to the last version of WordPress?

Aha, I see.
Thanks for your response, will look into that!

Hi there, thanks for your response,
It’s still not working, if you look at the bottom of the page I have 4 logos in a gallery that are meant to link to unique URLs, but they open in the attachment page.
Not sure what else I can do to make it work.
I have a large number of logos that I want to link, so using a gallery would be the easiest way to do that.
Thanks for your help!

Mispion,
Thank you so much! That totally fixed the issue! It’s zipping along now. You are a genius!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks Andri,

I contacted them and I hope they can do something.
Appreciate your input!

anna, I shared the code I used, if you have another thing in mind google it!

never mind I figured it out! I added the following to my child theme css:

.mmt_member_img:hover{
	opacity:.7 ;
}

Thanks Tion.
I actually got this site going really fast by switching over to Dreamhost Dreampress hosting. Its loading just fine now.

…and voila! the logo is back. Ok that was a valuable lesson in messing with core theme files. I have to learn my functions. Thanks a ton for your help d4z!

ok brilliant! I added that to the functions. Thanks for that tip.
I noticed that I also copied the class-header-header_main.php file to make the header elements a max width and not go all the way to the edge. I will try to take that out and see what happens
