Agreed with Andytc and is why we signed up to it. WP Engine are just plain greedy, you can see this plainly with their hosting offering pricing. Not only do they generate fat profits for themselves, but write to us weekly to become one of their re-sellers and pay us also.

No thanks, we've already switched to using Oxygen for all of our WP work and host with a niche hosting firm, giving us pure cloud 100% (sla) uptime, with hourly back-ups.

Goodbye Genesis + WP Engine!

I expect that information would be posted on the same Studiopress website where you read up about the Plug-in.

Have you looked?

I can vouch for Learndash. We've used it a couple of times with the Genesis Framework and without any issues or quirkiness.

Lynne,

Yes it is possible and your options include hand coding of separately created page templates, Using the "Blox" plug-in hook a header design onto the required page(s), or "Beaver Themer" as part of "Beaver Builder" to create the header look and assign it your page(s)

You're welcome - Happy it worked out

Try this:

.genesis-nav-menu {
background-color: #000;
}

I would try your luck and get in contact with your hosting company as a start, since they might just have a back-up of your files and database! The more reputable firms back-up the whole server daily, even though they don't advertise this. Be prepared to have to pay a reasonable fee though if this is the case.
There is no manual way of resetting any section of a database as far as I'm aware, but you could try deleting all of the plug-ins (instead of merely de-activation) and re-installing from scratch.
If you have access to PHP My Admin via your server, you can manually delete the associated plug-in tables from there, but be warned you will also lose their settings when you re-install
Finally, It might be worth going back a couple of revisions on the server PHP version!
Ver7.2.6 was released on 24/05/ and could be a part of the problem with your plug-ins, causing the WordPress update theory to be just a red herring!

Yes, the issue does look to be WordPress update connected, but it isn't a bug necessarily, since there would have been widespread complaints. I think the update may have impacted on one of your plug-ins and you can understand why, if you read the list of changes during this recent update - here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Version_4.9.6

You might want to read through all of this and be sure before reporting a bug, but, should you decide to do so, it can be submitted here:

Separately, unless you have a robust back-up procedure in place, I wouldn't advise downgrading WP to the earlier revision. I have tried this in the past and it can make a complete mess of the database.
Ideally, you ought to have two or three independent back-ups in place for situations just like this (or worse)

Yes, I did read on your original post there are three instances of the same issue and is the reason I thought of the recent WP update as a potential cause (if all three sites are set to update automatically)

You haven't ruled this out with the clean install, unless you used the previous WordPress version and I can't think of any other reason why all three sites would have the same issue at the same time, unless perhaps a PHP change at the server or something similar?

I can confirm I'm not seeing any comments on your site either Jennifer. Are you able to restore a back-up from your server, prior to the recent WordPress update?

A long shot, but worth ruling it out if you have easy access to back-ups

FG

The chances of finding a plug-in of that description are virtually zero, but have you tried the likes of Themeforest / Envato?

I would suggest making your own using custom post types and some advanced custom fields as your best option

FG
Funky Grafix

[Funky Grafix]

That's quite correct, but if you haven't done so already, you ought to take a back-up first of your files and database

You cannot reinstall Yoast, because the folder already exists and cannot be over-written, hence the installation fails

1. Delete the wordpress-seo folder manually from your plug-in directory
2. Reinstall the Yoast plug-in

After re-installed, the original settings are likely to be retained in the database

Note: You will require server access to do this (Usually Cpanel) or via FTP (FileZilla) or equivalent.

The site isn't made with Genesis, Bob - It isn't even a WordPress website..

I see a similar loading pattern to you Aspasiam, but not quite as acute as in the video you posted.
Taking Victor's suggestion further, you have several blocking Javascript applications causing a delay in the rendering of your page and I suspect one or several of your plug-ins will be the culprit
To point you in the right direction, I suggest you read resources on how to defer or asynchronously load blocking resources, or inline the critical portions of those resources directly in the HTML. Your .htaccess file may also have been changed by the WP super cache plug-in, so if you are fortunate enough to have a 30 day rolling history back-up from your hosting provider, it might be wise to attempt a restore of the site to a date prior to when this problem began

Update:

Although we didn't receive a reply to this from anyone, a solution has been found via a repository plug-in "Peter's Login Redirect" and this thread has been updated for the benefit of anyone searching for similar ideas in the future.

It looks fine on my Sony Xperia (Android) and seems to render well with Google Page insights, although the score isn't so great.

It is unusual for just one page to be affected by a CSS failure and given it renders okay on my phone, my guesses are caching, a plug-in or maybe SSL certificate

Did you try clearing your cache?
