have to keep customizing

    8 years, 2 months ago

    My five Raindrops theme sites that are hosted on GODADDY keep reverting back to a point that I need to fix the column widths, text and link colors, font size and sever more things. This has been happening every hour or two for the last few days and I can’t stop it. I have also (9) nine sites using Raindrops theme hosted by HOSTGATOR that are not having this problem. I have spoken to GODADDY TECHNICIANS twice now and they claim that there is no problem on their end and say it must be a THEME problem or a WORDPRESS problem. I don’t have an exact count but I think I have had to re-customize these five sites about 25-30 times each over the last few days and am estimating the start of this problem to the point of the last RAINDROPS update but no sure as it took some time for me to realize that it was just the GODADDY hosted sites and NOT THE HOSTGATOR hosted sites that were displaying this problem.

    I think first,
    cache issues
    I think second,
    theme option value reverting back ( Display revert and Customizer setting value revert)

    Unfortunately, I can not grasp what is going on

    At present, the only way that can I take to prevent this problem,

    even if the theme options data has been changed, is to supply the always normal value on the theme in the filter

    Site Identity
    Layout and Sidebars
    Fonts
    Post
    Colors

    whats section ? value ?

    I’m sorry,
    I don’t know what you are saying? When this happened seven months ago, it just all of a sudden started working properly again somehow. Never did know how!

    Maybe I am not explaining myself properly though?

    I strongly advise against Godaddy Managed WordPress hosting. Twice in the last seven months all of my sites at Godaddy Managed WordPress have had the problem of not keeping the settings in the customization. The setting of the Site Identity, Colors, Font Size, Layout and Sidebars dimensions, etc. keep disappearing an hour or two after being adjusted and then having to do it all over again just to see the settings disappear again. The first time it happened seven months ago it just all of a sudden started working properly again but this time has been over a week and I have spent that week trying different things like removing PLUGINS one at a time and even starting one site over again from scratch but still same problem. My nine sites on Hostgator hosting work perfect with the same Theme and Godaddy won’t refund me the money for the remaining three years of hosting. Keep your distance from Godaddy Managed WordPress Hosting!

    Sorry　my poor english.

    Once you set the value, I can not believe the fact that returning to the original.

    Theme of the settings are stored in the options table.

    This table,　plug-ins and Core program useed this table of database.

    settings other than the theme, do you come out problem　?

    I, it is not possible to solve the server-specific problems

    Theme has many filter hooks. If you need

    You may can be changed to a special value ( that does not use the set value of the customizer.)

    Do you need to inform the way of their work?　(　Needs　PHP　skill )

    There is no need for apologies(sorry)! I only know one language and not very good with it.

    But yes it does return to the original every time and NO, I DO NOT have problem anywhere other than the theme customization.
    And I can’t believe that you are not hearing from other with the same problem. There must be more than me using RAINDROPS Theme and GODADDY MANAGED HOSTING.
    Been going on for one week now and I have tried about 50 different things with plugins etc.
    And I certainly don’t enjoy bothering you about it!

    I am not a webmaster and have none of those skills and don’t even know what PHP is. Sorry!

    by the way

    You are using CloudFlare

    It has error

    A Parser-blocking, cross-origin script, …, is invoked via document.write. This may be blocked by the browser if the device has poor network connectivity.

    Under the influence of the cache, there seems to be that the change of the CSS does not reflect.

    Have you tried to remove the cache?

    Even HOSTGATOR, you are this way?

    Hi nobita,

    I use CloudFlare on only one of those five sites that are giving the problem(https://www.nfl-sports-betting.net/). The other four sites on Godaddy Managed WordPress are not using CloudFlare. But I use CloudFlare on all nine of the Hostgator sites that are not causing problems.
    And I clear cache after every single thing that I do on the sites religiously.
    Even the plugins are the same on the Hostagtor sites as on the Godaddy sites EXCEPT for W3 Total Cache that Godaddy does not allow claiming that they have their own system installed in their hosting.
    I am very sorry to be troubling you with this and if it weren’t for the fact that I can’t find a better theme than Raindrops, I would just give up!

    Correction: CloudFlare is on 2 of the 5 sites. My mistake!

    Well nobita,
    Took your suggestion about CloudFlare and removed it from those 2 sites and customized all five sites again. Took a little over two hours for all 5 sites to revert back again. All Raindrops updated are up to date also.
    Simple fix would be for me to move those 5 sites over to Hostgator but then they take up too many resources and all my sites shut down so I can’t do that.

    I am sorry but I have no knowledge about what that is and there are several more things wrong than the left side column width. Text and Link color, Title and Tagline positions, Font size, etc.

    I, even now that the theme option value to revert, I believe that hard to believe.

    Given the only possibility, in cases such as options the field is destroyed for some reason, there is to be reset to their default values.

    In the theme, but will use the option field by default, I’m planning a function that can be switched to theme_mod field in the next version.

    Now check the bug, is the process of verifying whether the proper operation

    About a week, I think it is necessary to test.

    It is, whether to solve this problem, I do not know at this time.

    At the time the next version was completed, I am going to write how to change from the option field to theme_mod field.

    Can not be made to your help, I’m sorry

    Thank you.
