hi @kdseefari

I’m curious about what the settings are inside your dashboard. If you go to Settings then Reading is everything still on the default 10?
See this snapshot. https://cloudup.com/cthyKCyryk4

If I manually enter https://kdseefari.com/blog/page/6/ so I’m also wondering what theme you might be using. I suspect that there is a theme or plugin that might be stopping more than 5 pages from showing, but I can’t be sure. I would go ahead and double-check that there isn’t any interference from a theme or plugin that you might be using that’s causing the older posts not to show up.

While it’s not a best practice to have more than 10 posts per page, if there is a constraint caused by your theme or plugin, it might be worthwhile considering if you increase the number of posts to 12 or 15 per page since they are three columns in a row, that solution might help fit more posts per page as a quick fix.

Here are a few other considerations for you as you troubleshoot.

1. Check the Pagination Plugin or Theme: Some themes and pagination plugins have limits on the number of pages that can be displayed. Check if you have a pagination plugin installed and, if so, try disabling it temporarily to see if the issue is resolved. If you are using a custom theme, check the theme documentation to see if there are any known limitations.
2. Check for Plugin Conflicts: Sometimes, a plugin can conflict with WordPress, causing unexpected issues. Try deactivating all plugins except for the pagination plugin and see if the problem is resolved. If it is, reactivate each plugin one by one to determine which one is causing the issue.

I hope this helps

Hi @billher

From the research I was able to do it seems like like there might be an issue with the way the child theme is set up. When creating a child theme, ensure that the parent theme is properly enqueued in the child theme’s functions.php file, and any modified templates are correctly located in the child theme’s template directory.

There are a few guides that might be helpful in double-checking the setup of the child themes:

3. WPBeginner: How to Create a WordPress Child Theme (Step by Step) tutorial walks you through the process of creating a child theme, including how to properly enqueue the parent theme’s stylesheet and how to modify templates.

4. WPMU DEV: Troubleshooting Child Theme Issues in WordPress: This article offers some common solutions to issues you may encounter when working with child themes, such as templates not updating or child themes not appearing in the dashboard.

About losing the changes you’ve introduced to updated versions of the parent’s templates, if you have correctly set up your child theme and modified the templates in the child theme’s directory, then you should be able to safely update the parent theme without losing your changes. Not a bad idea to make a backup of your child theme and database before making any updates, just in case.

Lastly, I can’t say with the utmost certainty where the changes are recorded, but I did find this thread that seems to answer a similar question, so I’m linking that here too: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/changelog-for-themes/

Hoping that I have found some relevant information to help address some of the theme issues you’re experiencing and have provided you with relevant links.

hi @mrscrimson these were the best resources I found on getting to your MySQL settings since you’ll get that info from your web host:

Hi @davidborrink you may try connecting Craig’s email to gravatar as it appears you have it enabled on your site.
The reason why the backend profile may not be showing up is because he was commenting on the front end and not as a back end author.

I did see a helpful article from Hubspot that helps shed more light on this:

Here are some additional resources that can further help diagnose the issue as well as set up his email with a gravatar.

hi @michalrama using the download link feature in the file editor would be the optimal approach if using the block editor.
There might be something else happening concurrently, so if you could it would help us troubleshoot if you could send a screencast or video of what is happening so we can dig in further.

Hello @michalrama

Here are a few additional resources that may be helpful to you in adjusting the code to force a download.

particularly this section: https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/reference/functions/download_url/#user-contributed-notes

Hi @schwende – I saw a few resources that may be helpful for you.

There is some info on moving WordPress: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/article/moving-wordpress/

and some other documentation about managing a multi-site network: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/article/create-a-network/

Was also able to locate an older thread with documentation about vhost and multisite, that may have some useful info on it too:
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/apache-virtual-hosts-file-for-wp-multisite/
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/virtualhost-file-for-multisite/

I know some of it might not be specific to Red Hat – looks like they have info in their customer portal — but this might be a good starting point.
