Hi,

I think I get what you are saying now.

I see that you are using a child theme. What are the custom php files that you have in your theme?

I can also see that showing the Featured Image is an option in the theme settings? By chance, have you disabled it?

Cheers,

Hi Silbang,

You can backup the extension folder (Tutorial here) and do a reinstall.

After re-installing, try your website without installing any extensions and then restore the extension folder.

Thanks,
Ramesh

Sorry, I am not sure what the error could be. I hate to sound like a typical IT support guy, but did you try uninstalling & re-installing Chrome?

Hi,

Usually post content is picked up from the database. I can see posts with images being displayed (https://politicalfriction.com/michael-moore-treadmill-words-that-dont-belong-together/) which means that the post content is displayed.

Can you give an example of the error you are facing?

Hi,

Did you try logging in with another browser or from a different machine?

Do you have any admin theming plugins?

Hi,

If you are using Firefox, I highly recommend an add-on called Firebug. Once installed, you can select/right click a particular text/area of the page and Inspect Element with Firebug. The HTML and CSS code appear which shows where a particular element gets its properties from.

Particularly interesting is the CSS tab “Computed” which shows the hierarchy being followed and the final CSS code that stylizes your element. In your case, while other elements like the widget-area have the Maven Pro font, the commentator link falls back to Noto Serif.

I think you will need to play around with Firebug, identify the elements and use the plugin accordingly.

Why not let the user get a role of Contributor? They can add posts but not publish them. (Admins/Editors will have to approve)?

This seems easier than using any plugin.

Hi,

Can you post screenshots of the current page & indicate where you are looking for Blog content to appear (but doesn’t).

PS: Just a thought, you could look at one page themes which usually have a home.php. These pages have a small section with blog posts, but the rest is typically non-blog stuff. You might be able to pick up & use such a structure.

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback.

I am no expert myself, but given the choice between creating a WordPress Import XML and a SQL/data approach, I would choose the latter.

I think once you have the database from the existing site, consult the WP Database description (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Database_Description) and map tables & columns. (Not saying it would be easy/straightforward, but it is the approach I would take)

Usually WP uploads are classified by year & month. You could make your life simple by making all images/uploads go to a single folder (It is an option in WordPress > Media menu). This will let you upload all images directly to the wp-content/uploads folder.

Load the SQL to your database.

Run a plugin like Regenerate Thumbnails to have the media properly re-sized.

Check for 404 errors and fix them as and when you see them.

If you have a link to the current site, I can probably give you more pointers. For now, my suggestions are based on assumptions (which might be wrong)

Cheers,

Hi,

It is great that you are putting a lot of steps & effort to get your website together.

I don’t think using Cherry Framework is the reason for the problem. It could be more of an integration issue than anything else. Do you have any screenshots or error messages that you could share? It will help in guiding the next steps.

Localhost is relatively an easier task. I think getting your website + blog up and running on your localhost will be more than 90% of “done”

In my opinion, you could follow this approach (simplified steps)

1) Download all the images (they need to be imported as Media to WordPress)
2) Download the database (atleast the content & user tables)
3) Images will go into the wp-content/uploads folder
4) Map data to columns in WP database

If you want to discuss further, let me know.

Hi,

Sorry, but I am not able to get your question clearly. Is this the flow you want?

1) User must be able to sign-up
2) Admin approves sign-up
3) Email confirmation sent to user
4) User can now login

Cheers,
Ramesh

Hi,

Just a few ideas

– Change the theme to TwentyFifteen (via PHPMyAdmin or equivalent).
– Replace all folders except your wp-content with a fresh install of WordPress.

I think this might help.

Cheers,
Ramesh

PS: If you get a time machine, let me know. I need one too. ?? Hope all gets sorted.

Hi,

Give me a day. I will install the theme to my localhost and try to find a solution.

Ramesh

By chance are you hosted on wordpress.com? If yes, you will need to visit https://en.forums.wordpress.com/ for support related questions.
