In reply to: Critical error wordpressHi @kanr44,
I believe the editor account may be accessing some page or has fewer capabilities for him to be shown a critical error.
And since it is a critical error, an email with details of what the error is would be sent to the WP admin email set in the General Settings. And also details will be available as a PHP fatal error in the hosting error logs.

In reply to: [MathJax-LaTeX] Loading latex code in learndash quizzesYou should confirm that the max upload size is reflecting properly by looking at the Add New media file page.
Also, you should also try increasing the PHP max_execution_time.
Here are a couple of articles that explain some solutions,

and as @phoenixfireball says, the quick fix is to extract the theme directly into the wp-content/themes folder.

In reply to: [Ask Question] Moving a Site from Local to Live Serverhey @purvasachwani,
I see that the site is deployed on an IIS10.0 server. If you were developing the site locally on an Apache or Nginx server, you would need some additional configuration for the IIS server to work for the URL rewriting.
I believe a web.config file should do it. I recommend you go over this Microsoft IIS server config documented by the WordPress community.
I also recommend this web.config file.

In reply to: Slider only shows on home pageHey @louisv,
I checked the pages and as far as I understand, the theme would have a condition on the slider to be created/shown only on the homepage.
You will need to check the default page template in the theme, override it in a child theme and then remove the condition or make necessary changes of how and where you want the slider to be shown.
Try using a plugin like What the file to find the template being used.
Make a child theme using this WordPress reference.
And then override the template to make changes.

In reply to: How to Declare a function in functions.phpHi @aralmac123,
Your code seems to be okay and without any errors. I tried/added it on my local install and the site still worked.
Could you please check and share your web server’s (Apache or Nginx) error log file for more information on the error when you add the code to your site?

In reply to: Blog Posts Not Loading Second PageHey @louisehunt,
You should be able to find some clues during you perform the following steps.
It would be great if you can follow the standard debugging process of disabling all the active plugins one by one and checking if the issue is resolved. If you find an issue in one of the plugin then you should report this issue to them so that it can be fixed.
If it does not, you could also try checking after changing the theme to a standard theme like TwentyTwenty, TwentiNineteen etc. If the issue is with the theme I would recommend contacting your Genesis child theme author about the same.

In reply to: HELP!!! messed up my wordpress theme web.configI would then recommend that you check your server, its error logs, and its configuration. If needed get in contact with your hosting provider to understand what is the problem.
Once you have static links like https://www.real.org.lb/readme.html and https://www.real.org.lb/license.txt open, the WordPress code can then start to be debugged.

In reply to: Share Blog database over 2 wordpress domainsYou can have a different mobile menu. It will depend on your theme’s feature to do so by default.
If it does not have it, you can do the following,
1. Register a new navigation menu. refer this and this.
2. Create a new menu in the WordPress backend, Appearance -> Menus.
3. Assign the newly created menu with the navigation menu.
4. Change the theme’s menu code to show the New Mobile Menu instead of the Primary menu.And yes there is a default RSS feed feature available from WordPress. You can find it for your site here.
Do remember that if you chose to have 2 sites with the same content, you will need to do some things for SEO so that search engines do not consider one of the two sites as duplicates and hence rank poorly.

In reply to: HELP!!! messed up my wordpress theme web.configLooking at your site, it is not even opening static files like the readme.html or the license.txt so I believe it may be more an issue at the server-end rather than the WP core code.
Could you check if that can be fixed? And then we can try to figure what’s not working with the actual WordPress installation.
If you remember and know which version of WordPress you were running on, you could do the following,
1. Download the WordPress zip from the releases list,
2. Unzip it on your local system/computer
3. Back up the files and folders on the server. Also the database.
3. Finally replace all the files and folders (except the wp-content folder) like index.php, wp-login.php wp-includes & wp-admin folders etc.Note: Please keep a backup of the wp-config.php file, the wp-content folder, and the database as if they are lost, it will be very difficult to get the site back to the older version without putting a lot of efforts.

In reply to: Share Blog database over 2 wordpress domainsThat is possible by making CSS tweaks for the site to show what you need to show in a mobile/tablet/desktop view. You will probably need to learn some coding (at least HTML and CSS) to get the best results but would be a much easier option than handling two different sites being used to deliver the same content.

In reply to: Share Blog database over 2 wordpress domainsHey @livelifemoving,
It is surely possible to share/pull content between 2 sites and there are various ways it can be done but it might not work with sharing the same database as it would probably need a lot of complex coding and changes to the WordPress core code.
I see that you are still in the process of setting up the mobile site and would like you to explain the need to create 2 sites with the same blog posts and possibly pages as well. The reason being that there are usually options available for designing the site into a responsive one (most themes do this) to ensure that the same site can be viewed on various devices as the site creator seems fit.
