In reply to: List of itemsIt sounds like you might want to add a “custom post type”, which is probably what Printpress is doing. You could use a plugin like Advanced Custom Fields to make a custom post type called “Publishing House”, add individual publishing houses to that, and then use the Query Loop block to display all the publishing houses. That’s just the quick capsule summary, but it gives you an idea…
Here’s ACF’s docs on custom post types: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/registering-a-custom-post-type/
Here’s how to use the Query Loop:

Yeah, and even if that did work, all it would do would be to prevent receiving notifications… it doesn’t really explain why the plugin thinks thousands of files are being changed every few days.
Hi Kris – thanks for helping. On the site that most recently failed, it was:
- Automatic (speedy)
- Hummingbird cache via the dropdown at the top.
I’ll keep an eye out for any other instances, and report back if/when it happens again!

In reply to: [WPZOOM Social Feed Widget & Block] Lightbox not working on iPhoneThat fixed it! Thank you very much for the quick turnaround!
Did you even read my message?
I said already that my site is not getting ANY traffic because it is password-protected behind a coming soon page. Also, I said I already tried your cache setting suggestion, which did not work.
What next?
Thank you.
Thank you! I’ve created the new issue here: https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/15726 and I guess we’ll see what happens!
I’m having the same problem, and it worked when I turned off the “Save in Media Library” option as suggested (changing image number and size didn’t work for me). But it breaks again when I turn it back on. I can leave it off for now, but thought I should report it, since I would like to turn it back on eventually!
I’m having the same issue – one of my client accounts suddenly went over quota, and over a few weeks it had used up over 10GB of space on hundreds of iThemes Security backups, even when it was set to store only 5. It appeared to be saving them in bursts of them every several minutes for a short period.
Updated to 6.2.0, and it still created another one, so I disabled backups altogether. Looked this morning and there’s still one new backup, exactly 24 hours from the one yesterday.

In reply to: How to implement website with list of sites and related resourcesYou might want to take a look at Advanced Custom Fields and what it can do. It’ll let you create custom post types (you might have one for “site” and one for “map”) and associate relationships between them, as well as create custom fields for each post type (things like “photos”, “description”, “geographic-area”, or whatever you need). It’s a very powerful way of extending WordPress to do cool things.
Hope that gets you pointed in the right general direction!

In reply to: Have to refresh to load pagesHave you tried already turning off plugins all together, and one by one, systematically, to see if the problem continues? Sounds like a potential plugin/theme conflict, maybe a caching plugin?
Also, if you can switch temporarily to another theme like Twenty Sixteen, and see if you still run into the same issues, that would also help narrow it down. If you can authoritatively say the problem still occurs regardless of what plugins or themes you’re running, then you could move on to it being a possible server issue.
Back everything up first, of course!

In reply to: [Easy Forms for Mailchimp] Too many upgrade issuesEvan, I know better than to make changes to a plugin directly. I’m working from the Bones starter theme and building up, so there’s no child theme code to be overwritten either.
It looks like the issue was due to the widget losing its previous ID and so my associated styles were lost. It’s a recoverable issue, but my point is that having to do it already twice means I simply don’t feel I can trust that there aren’t going to be sudden changes again in the future. My client is maintaining the site, and if I’m going to be called in every few months to fix the same thing over and over again, it’s not worth it.
This is the first time I’ve been angry enough to leave a negative review for a plugin. I know sometimes there are good reasons to rewrite a codebase, but if it’s such a dramatic rewrite that people are going to lose their work multiple times, it should have been branched off into a new plugin entirely.
Best of luck in the future.

In reply to: Unable to edit only the HOME pageIs the web developer using the same WordPress account you are, or a separate one? If they’re using a different one, they may have different permissions than you. So have them try logging in with your account and see if they get the white screen.
If they’re using the same account and don’t encounter the problem, then the problem is more likely to be something about your browser. You could try using a different browser and see if you run into the same problem. Or delete cookies in your current browser and see if that helps.

In reply to: Website won't work on a phoneYou’re using a pretty out-of-date WordPress template, the old default “Twenty Ten”, which is five years old now, isn’t responsive and won’t work that well in a mobile browser.
If you don’t want to code, I’d suggest switching to a new theme and then customizing that to your liking… the latest default theme is “Twenty Fifteen”: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/themes/twentyfifteen/
But you can also browse the repository for something you might like better. Just check that the theme you pick is tagged with “responsive-layout”: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/themes/tags/responsive-layout/

In reply to: missing sidebar widget from appearance menuThat’s going to depend entirely on the theme you are using, and whether there are any sidebars defined. If your theme doesn’t already include a sidebar, you will have to either switch to a theme with a sidebar already, or code one in yourself. Here’s another thread on the same topic…

In reply to: Splash/Entrance pageWhat you’re looking for is an “age gate”. I’ve used this one for an alcohol-related site, and it’s worked pretty well https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/age-verify/
