I’ve disabled PHP errors from showing. so the maintenance plugin looks ‘okay’ on most pages now since it’s not showing the warning publicly (but even with PHP errors enabled, it shouldn’t be showing the warning at all. Please fix this!).

The maintenance page is also missing the logo image and background image, and it varies per device – I’m not seeing the logo image nor the background image at all on mobile. On desktop, it shows the logo and background image in Safari but not in Edge.

I contacted (mt)… Here’s what they had to say…

This isn’t an error we’ve received a large number of reports for, although there is a concern I have regarding part of the message:

“sslv3 alert handshake failure”

SSLv3 is one of the protocols that was vulnerable to the recent POODLE vulnerability. As a consequence, it was disabled on the Grid. Connections should be made using TLS instead to ensure that they are secure. You may need to make the appropriate modifications to your site, plugins, etc. to ensure that SSLv3 is not used.

Regarding the version of Curl running on the server, since the Grid hosting service is a shared hosting platform, this software is managed by our engineers and cannot be updated by the end user.

This doesn’t really help me. I didn’t change anything in my site since the last successful “network upgrade” other than enabling and enforcing SSL and setting up CloudFlare.

Still trying to figure out how to fix this.

Issue Resolved. Thank you.
(Sorry for the late update).

So, the whitespace issue was related to sharedaddy, not infinite-scrolling. I’ve managed to resolve it by putting the following in my theme CSS:

div.sharedaddy:before,
div.sharedaddy:after,
div.sharedaddy .sd-block:before,
div.sharedaddy .sd-block:after,
div.sharedaddy ul:before,
div.sharedaddy ul:after {
	display: inline-block !important;
}

div.sharedaddy,
#content div.sharedaddy,
#main div.sharedaddy {
	clear: none !important;
}

Now I’m still having an issue with the third post being called into the loop showing up twice when Jetpack/infinite-scrolling is enabled.

Again: Post number 3 should only show up once, in third place, but infinite-scrolling pulls it in again after the new “page load”. making it show up again between post 7 and 8. I’m trying to fix this issue myself but any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I’ve made some progress in resolving the issues. Posts are now loading in the correct order with one exception: Post number 3 loads twice, the first instance in the right position, and the second instance between post 7 and 8. Why is this happening?

I also still have a lot of unknown white space in the first post that shouldn’t be there.

Here is my updated index.php

<?php get_header(); ?>
	<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
	<div id="content">
	<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post();
    get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );
endwhile;
?>
		<?php //else : ?>
		<?php //endif; ?>
	</div>
	</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Here is my updated content.php

<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
			<div class="time-and-date">
				<div class="post-date"><span class="date-icon">#</span><?php the_time( 'l, F j, Y' ); ?></div>
				<div class="post-time"><?php the_time( 'h:i A, T' ); ?><span class="time-icon">&</span></div>
			</div>
			<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></a>
			<div class="post-title">
			<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></div>
			<div class="post-content">
				<div class="post-tags">Posted in: <?php the_category(' '); ?> <?php the_tags( 'and tagged: ', ', ', '.'); ?></div>
				<?php the_content(); ?>
				<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
        	</div>
        	<div class="post-meta"><span class="meta-links"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php //the_title_attribute(); ?>">Permalink</a> | <a href="<?php //comments_link(); ?>">Comments</a> | <a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" target="_blank">Share</a></span><br/>
			</div>
		</div>

Please help?

Even after a Safari ‘Develop > Empty Cache’ and a ‘Reset Safari’ I still see it like this: http://d.pr/i/9Iie

Only the DV logo and DAVIDVENTER.NET is supposed to be light, according to my CSS, everything else on the blue top bar should be dark/black. Also the “share” links at the bottom of the posts should be dark, not white. Not sure how or why the link CSS from the .site-title-container div class rolled over into other random parts of the site.

I’m checking on the validator errors now. Thanks for sharing that.
