    I mirrored my website stlcasinoparty.com to lonestarcasinoparty.com. I’ve made a few minor changes since then, but I’ve lost an area at the bottom of the page where it displayed recent posts on my static front page. Any ideas? Thanks!

    I checked out both sites and the tool I used reported that you are indeed using the same theme on both sites — St.louis Casino Party. So, that’s good. Then I checked to make sure the four posts displayed on your old site were published on your new site:

    1. https://www.lonestarcasinoparty.com/table-rental/
    2. https://www.lonestarcasinoparty.com/dealers/
    3. https://www.lonestarcasinoparty.com/chairty-fundraising-events/
    4. https://www.lonestarcasinoparty.com/private-corporate-parties/

    And they were all there. So, hmm, are the previous posts being displayed by one or more widgets? And, if so, are the widgets a) there and b) setup correctly on your new site?

    Beyond this, have you combed through all the various settings on your new site to make sure it’s setup exactly how your old site is? Oh, and of course, you might want to remove all third party plugins on your new site. Especially ones not currently being used on your old site, just to be sure it’s not some kind of 3rd party conflict issue.

    I didn’t design the site, so don’t know for sure if the previous posts are being displayed by widgets, but I don’t think so. No widget that I can find anyway, on the old site or the new.

    I have gone through just about every setting I can find trying to solve this. And I’ve tried deactivating all the plugins and turning them on one at a time, but nothing seems to work.

    Both the old site and the new use Master Slider if that gives an insight.

    Yikes! So, once logged in as an admin of your site, when you go to Appearance > Widgets, are you saying there’s no widget areas? For example, the current default WordPress theme (i.e., Twenty Sixteen) has three widget areas — Sidebar, Content Bottom 1, and Content Bottom 2. Please double-check this and let me know.

    The other idea is that the four current posts being displayed at the bottom of your theme functionality is built into your theme. And, of course, for some reason that functionality is currently broken on your new site. Thus, maybe, switching over to the default WordPress theme and configuring the widgets there to display past posts would be a good test.

    Then, if the above works, delete the St.louis Casino Party theme on your new site and install a fresh copy. Sometimes this process gets messed up. But, I still have a sneaky suspicion your issue is a missing configuration issue.

    Who made your St.louis Casino Party theme? Do they offer tech support? Because, if they do, I would totally take advantage of it. That is, without being able to see the back end of your site, it’s close to impossible to give you any specific advise.

    Note that someone versed in code could probably look at your home page’s underlying code and be way more helpful than me! ??

    When I log in, there are widgets for the three colored banners (red, blue and green) at the top of the page. But there’s is nothing on either site for the bottom content.

    I’ve tried switching themes, but it doesn’t seem to solve the issue.

    I’ve reinstalled the whole site several times and that hasn’t worked either.

    I had someone redesign the site but I don’t really have the ability to contact them any more.

    When I go to https://stlcasinoparty.com/, and look at the element of code on your homepage that is displaying the four posts, I see:

    <div class="row" id="posts">

    Whereas, when I do the same at https://www.lonestarcasinoparty.com/, all I see is:

    <div class="row" id="posts">
    <div class="col-md-12">
    </div>
    </div>

    Sadly, I’m not yet a coder person so all I can do for now is report the difference. Hopefully, someone who knows this stuff better will be able to use the above info both you and I have commented and resolve your issue! ??

    Additionally, at https://www.lonestarcasinoparty.com/, I noticed an element that doesn’t seem to be at https://stlcasinoparty.com/:

    <style type="text/css" id="twentyfifteen-header-css">
    			.site-header {
    			background: url(https://www.lonestarcasinoparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/cropped-LSCP2-3.png) no-repeat 50% 50%;
    			-webkit-background-size: cover;
    			-moz-background-size:    cover;
    			-o-background-size:      cover;
    			background-size:         cover;
    		}
    
    		@media screen and (min-width: 59.6875em) {
    			body:before {
    				background: url(https://www.lonestarcasinoparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/cropped-LSCP2-3.png) no-repeat 100% 50%;
    				-webkit-background-size: cover;
    				-moz-background-size:    cover;
    				-o-background-size:      cover;
    				background-size:         cover;
    				border-right: 0;
    			}
    
    			.site-header {
    				background: transparent;
    			}
    		}
    		</style>

    I’m not sure this means anything, but I have seen cases where something above can mess up stuff below.
