ParticipantOhhhh! I am new to cloudflare and didn't realize that was a problem. Thanks so much. I do believe the html was from trying out guttenberg though.
But what about the search bar hooking into the hamburger menu on mobile?
wanderer
ParticipantThanks Anita. Is it advised to use plugins that aren't on the wordpress repository? I couldn't find it there.
I wish I had chosen a theme that would be updated, but there is not way to know in advance if a theme will continue to be updated without being psychic right?

ParticipantHi Anita
it's https://wander-argentina.com but now you can't see it because the site is randomly in html. I think this happens from trying to switch to guttenberg and then realizing it doesn't work and switching back.
wanderer
ParticipantI have the same problem. Did you ever figure it out Happiness?

ParticipantHey Anita,
Just wanted to come back and say thanks a lot! I just signed in again and still have to make a change at some point.
I really don't want to switch! And losing revenue to a theme switch would be unwelcome now! Magazine Pro looks good but the photos are larger than the optimized sizes I have saved. I guess I will sit on the fence a little longer. I really appreciate your input!
wanderer
ParticipantDid you figure this out? I am having the same problem.

ParticipantThank you so much Anita! Could it be that my 'blog Gutenberg' plugin is causing problems?
Mediavine keeps the lights on at least so I have to keep that but yes 20 seconds to interact is atrocious.
You are right, I don't really want to change, firstly because of the $400 price tag for a new theme and installation. Secondly, because he suggested Navigation Pro Theme but I sized all my feature photos, logo and banners and in-house ads specifically for Lifestyle Pro. Navigation Pro has a huge feature photo for instance. Am I going to have to replace all feature photos?
I don't understand how people switch themes when they have ten years of content made specifically optimized to fit another theme. Is there an easy way to do it?
wanderer
ParticipantHi Anita!
He comes highly recommended and he said, "Your theme is very old from what I can tell. Not up to date on the Genesis coding standards or really setup for Gutenberg either. Might be worth updating.I would recommend updating the theme. Lifestyle isn't updated anymore with Genesis so that isn't a great idea to use it again. I would choose something else."
Plus the best speed I can get on mobile is 22.
Thank you for your suggestions!
wanderer
ParticipantThank you so much for the reply. I did try that one but it doesn't let you select images from the media library as I recall. Is there a way to get around that, so I don't have to re upload photos every time?
I was hoping to find one that pulls from the featured posts like the Dynamic Content Gallery which worked great while it worked...

ParticipantHi Victor,
This is the theme footer file that comes with genesis. I set up the site -- because it was sold that genesis lends itself to that, although I do not find it to be that easy to customize. So yes the footer was customized by me -- I don't have the hooks plugin.
It seem the business model is to sell new themes every few years because this one looks outdated now, even though they are still selling it.
If you see the footer at wander-argentina.org it looks okay, on Wander-argentina.com it looks bad. I should delete the footer.php than? I will try that and see what happens.
Thank you
wanderer
ParticipantI am using the Genesis Responsive slider which pulls the wrong photo and looks terrible.
Not recommending Genesis to others anymore, as my site looks very bad and outdated (as even total strangers wanting to insult me on social media have pointed out) and I do not get responses on this forum, so basically the product I bought is outdated and no help seems to be forthcoming.
wanderer
ParticipantAny let me know what gallery studio press recommends now? A free one please...Thanks!
wanderer
ParticipantI have the same problem. Dynamic Content Gallery used to be recommended when I started now it hasn't been updated in years...
wanderer
ParticipantThanks so much Victor. That looks great. I am holding out for an update that incorporates a text widget again. I reckon that must be coming if a lot of people are having this same problem with the visual editor, as I already have too many plugins. I will wait a bit and download your plugin if they don't address this problem.
I am still looking to hire help for my various issues if any coder who is affordable is looking for work. Not sure why when I started I was able to to figure this stuff out, but now it just takes too long to wrap my head around things.
wanderer
ParticipantHi Robert! Thank you for your answer. The content that is missing is hosted on my site and also a couple of scripts from ad networks. I think it has something to do with the html and the new visual editable widgets? I did save them in text form and they still don't show up.
Yes my footer is messed up! I don't even know if that is still done in functions.php or in the genesis footer scripts now.
Please see below, all those ads and the 'PorteƱo Corner' column are not showing up, although initially I could see them on the backend under secondary sidebar. Now I put one back under primary sidebar (the airport transfer ad) and it still isn't showing up.
I am looking to hire someone to help me. I earn pesos though!
wanderer
ParticipantHi Victor
Thank you so much for the html correction.
I perhaps erroneously referred to the secondary sidebar -- before the update I had two smaller columns with half-sized text widgets under the main 300px sidebar column.
I realized that both of my Argentina websites are missing some of these text widgets in the sidebar such as even simple ones pointing to another page such as:
Check out <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Wander-Argentina.com</span>
or graphic ads set up with html such as this one:
Am I the only one with dissapearing sidebar widgets?
wanderer
ParticipantHi Victor,
Thanks! but only some of them are showing -- google ads, Instagram, search and popular posts but I have some homemade ads made with html such as 'airport pickup''rooms for under $10 a night in San Telmo' and a CJ Expedia ad that aren't showing even after I remove cookies.
I just realized they are all the ones from the secondary sidebar and now that I cleared the cookies they are gone from the backend.

ParticipantThank you Victor, you are my hero of the day!
Pretty obvious -- it's 40c here in Buenos Aires and no air-con. The heat makes me dumber than normal.
For some reason it didn't work though, even though my errors are down from 30 to 27 now!
There seems to be some other problem.

ParticipantTom you are awesome, thanks a lot. I paid a guy to put in the google custom search. It seems some of these old school computer dudes don't quite get the Genesis framework in terms of understanding how it all functions holistically, at least that was my experience hiring people to help me out for the first time. If anyone on here wants to send me an estimate to fix this, as I'm a slow poke if doing it myself, please do!
I'm a bit baffled because I installed the Zencache plugin but my score went down from 64 to 62 on pingdom and the load time increased by two seconds after testing again.
Thank you for your suggestions, I'm going to work on it.
wanderer
ParticipantFor informational purposes I thought I'd let you know, I did a another test after turning off the W3 plugin. While it did get rid of that first error, and quite a few others, there were still 93 errors
