Technically, this doesn’t appear to be a WordPress issue. But it is definitely a problem if your website is missing!

What you are seeing is the index.php file of your WordPress install and it’s contained in your root directory. It appears your server is not interpreting the index.php file as PHP (which would end up displaying your website properly). Instead it’s outputting the PHP file in plain text.

It appears to be an issue with the server configuration. It’s possible you’ve been hacked, but it could be a software change or update by the host as well. Seems like they should make sure they didn’t cause the error before they charge you a hundred bucks!

My guess is your database is likely fine and the website is still there…the server is somehow misconfigured. There shouldn’t be a need to pay for a whole new website, IMHO. I’m guessing contacting the original developer to see if they can look into it is not possible?

It looks like the CSS selector .col.first is causing the break. This is defined to have a clear:both property on line 1 of style.min.css. This is causing the gap on the mobile view. Consider allowing the columns to wrap as needed on the wider views. As you have it you’re forcing three columns, which is great until the screen gets too narrow for three columns. It is still trying to show three columns, which is causing the gap you’re seeing.

Check your setting in the admin menu: Settings->Reading->Front page displays. Are you displaying a static page or your latest posts? Depending on this setting decides how these two functions act.

is_home() is a function that returns true when the “blog posts index page” is loaded. It works on blog pages only. (Codex)

is_front_page() is a function that returns true depending on the setting in your Settings->Reading->Front page displays. If you are set to “Your latest posts” it returns true just like is_home() when you are on the page showing your latest posts. If the option is set to “A static page” and your static home page is showing, the function will return true only on that page. (Codex)

Make sure when you are calling your while statement you are referring to your query. Instead of $the_query->have_posts() use $my_query->have_posts().

Also, place the new WP_Query call above everything else!

<?php
$my_query = new WP_Query( 'posts_per_page=2' );

	if( $my_query->have_posts() ) :

		while( $my_query->have_posts() ) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
			<div style="text-align: center">
				<div class="boxxy">
					<?php
					if ( has_post_thumbnail() ){ ?>
						<?php $thumbID = get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID); ?>
						<a href="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'URL', true); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" target="_blank">
							<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
							<span class="view-large"></span>
						</a>
					<?php } ?>
					<?php the_content('<p>Continue Reading →</p>'); ?><br /><br />
					<?php if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { the_ratings(); } ?><br /><br /><br />
					<?php edit_post_link('Edit this post'); ?>
				</div>
			</div>
<?php
		endwhile;

	else : ?>
		<div id="sort">
		<div class="box">
			<h2>Sorry, no posts were found</h2>
			<?php get_search_form(); ?>
		</div>
		</div><!-- #sort -->
<?php
	endif;
	wp_reset_postdata();
?>

This worked for me. I got this from here. They have more info on other fields you might want to remove or add.

add_filter('attachment_fields_to_edit', 'remove_media_upload_fields', 10000, 2);
function remove_media_upload_fields( $form_fields, $post ) {

    // remove unnecessary fields
    unset( $form_fields['image_alt'] );
    unset( $form_fields['post_excerpt'] );

    return $form_fields;
}

Have you tried dropping the ‘../’ when declaring an absolute path…that seems unnecessary and may be why the file isn’t being found?

function ContactInsert() {
       ob_start();
       include(ABSPATH . "/contact.php");
       return ob_get_clean();
}

If you know the category ID ($cat_id), you could use the following SQL, which has one additional AND clause which only allows ID’s that are associated with a given category matching $cat_id to be passed through.

SELECT DISTINCT LEFT( post_title, 1 ) AS first_letter FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_type = 'post' AND post_status = 'publish' AND ID IN ( SELECT object_id FROM $wpdb->term_relationships WHERE term_taxonomy_id = $cat_id ) ORDER BY first_letter ASC

It’s also good form to use $wpdb->prepare() when sending queries to your database to prevent injection attacks even when dealing with variables that you’ve programmed because programmers make mistakes and a misplaced apostrophe could damage your database terribly. You can use the following to do that:

$letters = $wpdb->get_col( $wpdb->prepare(
	"SELECT DISTINCT LEFT( post_title, 1 ) AS first_letter FROM {$wpdb->posts} WHERE post_type = 'post' AND post_status = 'publish' AND ID IN ( SELECT object_id FROM {$wpdb->term_relationships} WHERE term_taxonomy_id = %d ) ORDER BY first_letter ASC",
	$cat_id
) );
