Hi Cas.

Thanks – I feel like I tried that, but it’s entirely possible I missed something in the frustration of it not working.

I’ll try again ands report back.
Might it be an issue with the actual field? There is also a CTA at the top of the page which I also want to open up as either a contact form or open up an email as per this footer link).

Do you think I could just get this live (without annoucing anything) and see it any remaining issues can be checked on here?
Feel I’m close to getting this over the line but I’m having to do this after work (which is sat behind computer monitors all day) so not fully invested!

Thank you!

I’ve had a little play around tonight and the cobwebs are slowly being blown away!

I’ll fix up a ‘coming soon’ page over the next day or two and work on this in the background.

As it stands we’re just looking at a Home page, 3 services pages (one for each therapy she provides), a blog page and events pages and a contact page: 7 in total, so no major site (at this stage).

https://lalki.co.uk/

I did notice (and you’ll see this on the three card sections (Reiki, Trauma Therapy and Hypnobirthing) that the images here may need some help to fit. I’m guessing we should have images exasctly the same dimensions – I tried to re size them to an approximative size but with different dimensions these won’t fit. One the live site the middle image expands out from image 1 and 2 (which it doesn’t on the theme builder page).

These images will need a back and forth with the client anyway (using the ones shown as place holders for the time being, although she may want to retain them).

Great news on the contact page btw – this is a crucial one for her.

Thanks v much!

Just to add: Yesterday I went through the site editor coach mentor templates and chose a few depending on what new pages I want.
Opened the pages today and looks look like it timed me/threw me out.
Will these new templates pages be saved/stored somewhere (I’m sure they are, it’s just locating them from the wordpress dashboard – the ‘Pages’ in dashboard are the old theme forest pages I mentioned). They’re so broken it might be worth just deleting them anyway!

EDIT: Just noticed from going back into the main WP dashboard that super addons has it’s own dashboard.
Best to just use this solely to create the new pages? Seems like you cadd custom code etc in there anyway.
Question from this is can I rename the old Home page (for example) to the new coach mentor themed home page i.e. if there was a Lalki/about-us page from the previous site, how do I ensure this URL can be used on the new coach mentor themed site?

Thanks!

^^ Thanks threadi.
Likely add content to the new home page then review what other pages she needs.
I have all the content from the previous incarnation but advised her to review (and edit/shorten the existing content).

Thanks Treadi. Yes, I’m kind of getting reacquainted with the processes. My problem is time dedicated to this. After work I’d rather step away from a screen/technology but sometimes that’s not possible and I have to do follow up reading for my job. But then it’s also crucial I go out and exercise/walk then gym etc. Life’s been a series of ups and downs lately so always cautious of pushing too much of my relax/down times away.

But I’ve promised I’d help her out so I want to crack on with getting her site back into a decent shape.

I’ve chosen a block theme as I’d hoped this would make the process a lot easier and efficient. Ideally if I could tweak the old content to fit the new theme the better.

I’m aboout to go and have a look at the site now. The criitical errors were down to at least one plug in. They’ve all been disabled now so hopefully I have access to the full dashboard to edit the site.

The client has new content anyway (at least for some of the pages) plus additional pages.

Anyway, let me go and dive back in and check the current state of it all!

Thanks!

Apologies – I’ve just not had the time to dive back into this what with work and life stuff.
However, I’d like to jump back in over the next week or so.

The site is supported by Ionis (client has paid for support and they’re generally very helpful).
I had a brief look at how to look at the error log – is this something I can do myself (with limited dev skills?!) or might Ionis look at what’s causing the issues within the PHP?

Looking likely I’ll have to rebuild page by page but still hopeful the new theme will overwrite the previous theme and I can just tweak. I don’t think she has any other option than me doing this on a adoc basis for her (she’ll pay a little towards my time).
She doesn’t use the site as an e commerce portal but it had generate quite a lot of interest and business for her services.

Managed to find this info from the Site Health on the dashboard (and mentions that critical error):

_____________________________________________________________________________________

1 critical issue

Critical issues are items that may have a high impact on your sites performance or security, and resolving these issues should be prioritized.Page cache is not detected and the server response time is slowPerformance

Page cache enhances the speed and performance of your site by saving and serving static pages instead of calling for a page every time a user visits.

Page cache is detected by looking for an active page cache plugin as well as making three requests to the homepage and looking for one or more of the following HTTP client caching response headers:cache-control, expires, age, last-modified, etag, x-cache-enabled, x-cache-disabled, x-srcache-store-status, x-srcache-fetch-status.

•  Median server response time was 1,582 milliseconds. It should be less than the recommended 600 milliseconds threshold.
•  No client caching response headers were detected.
•  A page cache plugin was not detected.
