Got it sorted out. After 6 years of the same settings, for some reason they were then failing. Changed to SSL 465 and everything is good.

I am not referring to good bots. I am talking about bad bots or bots that I just dont deem necessary to access my site – ones that I have added to my robots.txt but they of course cant see my robots.txt because they are blocked by my block rule in wordfence. I also have an ip range block for amazon aws.

I will suppose from your answer that there is no setting to allow an exclusion to robots.txt – I really think that robots.txt should be excluded and everyone have access to it.

same here. I was trying out different maintenance mode plugins on my staging site and installed the lightstart plugin to try it out. All of a sudden i notice a plugin – Otter – that i did not install and would never have wanted as i already have a page builder plugin. This remained even tho i removed the themeisle lightstart maintenance plugin. I am just thankful that this happened only on my staging site.

Thank you for your reply.

I dont actually send out the emails.

I use the plugin for my own personal information on what is currently in a visitors cart.

In the settings, is there anyway to turn off the scheduled actions, or make them once daily ?

Perfect ! Thanks so much !

Re Video – Yes Thank you ! – it was the border radius setting I had incorrect. (I didnt realize what it did.)

Final Question – I was also wondering if there is CSS to make the selected swatch ‘border’ thicker/bolder ? so it is really noticeable. Please see dropbox screenshot

Thank you – the custom css to take out the background on the category page works. Thanks again.

Theme Storefront, child theme boutique

—

Re different sizes – I read somewhere in another thread the different sizes only work if you choose the ‘default’ image option. (cant find it now, that was a week ago and had given up on anyone answering here) This has also been my experience. I had wanted large circles on the product page and small circles on the category page, but I only get different sizes if I choose default – which gives rounded swatches on the category page and rounded square swatches on the category page. If its possible, I cant get it to work.

Thank you very much Igor – this has been very helpful. I now know it is not my base installation of WordPress, Woocommerce or Storefront. I will now be able to narrow it down on my staging site using the suggestions made in this thread,

Thanks again ! It may be a month or so to work on it (I am scheduled for a vacation that was delayed 2 years by COVID), but I will report back as to what the issue finally was, but this definitely gives me the building blocks I needed to start.

That image appears to be the product page, not a category page which is where I am having the issue – please re-read original post.

I do have a staging site and so I will try those suggestions as I really need to find a solution.

1. So you are saying it may be the boutique theme. (or possible a plugin) If it is the boutique child theme of Storefront – what are my options ?

2. I was thinking it was my image settings, of which I have referenced also in my first post.

3. Or perhaps some customization I have set under additional css – this is below: If you could please rule out the below code on your test site, that will really narrow it down for me.

Re: Please attach the “gridded image” product examples on the category pages with your response?

Please see my original post with example link for images from dropbox where it shows what you are asking and also where I explain that the images are set on a grid, but look fine in product edit page and media library.

Well I do believe that storefront and also boutique are standard themes, that is why I did not go with a third party theme.

I think I will see if I can find a programmer that will perhaps get to the bottom of this. I have seen the above scenario in these forums time and time again. post this, post that, update, disable plugins, only to not find anything and finally the poor thread starter goes away. I thought I would give it one last chance with this issue, but I really should have known better by now.

Thank you for your time.

you can no longer see gridded images ? Yes there definitely are ! Banding on the images and griddy checkerboard images and I had to perform ridiculous hoops in an image program to try to get them as good as they are. and I have checked on multiple browsers.

Deactivating Enhanced Media Library made no difference at all.

I thought I would try getting answers here as I was really at a loss and really needed help – but sigh

URL

With some image manipulation (taking the background out of them) I have managed to get some of the images to appear a bit better on the category page, but a lot of them still look really griddy or banded, and if they look good in the other places – why not the category page? – its odd . this only affects the cross stitch pattern products. Some look not too terribly but I have had to take the background out of a lot of them.
