Hi sfjwebsfj,

Hope you’re doing good!

You can overwrite those settings by editing your theme’s functions.php file, or by using a custom plugin for that.

In the case of adjusting this limit using code, here’s an example you can use:

function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
return 200; // Adjust this number to your preferred word limit
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length' );

In this example, I’ve set the word limit to 200 words, but feel free to change the value according to your needs.

Remember to customize the code carefully, and always make a backup of your site before making changes to theme files.

If you’re not comfortable with coding, you can use a plugin like “Code Snippets” to add this code without directly modifying your theme files.

I’ve found a plugin on the plugin repository that allows you to adjust it without coding called Simply Excerpt. Feel free to test it if you’d like to.

I hope this helps!

Sincerely,

Caio Ferreira

Hey there, @adsartist!

I hope everything’s going wonderfully for you!

I see you’re using the Elementor plugin – that’s awesome! Have you had a chance to dive into the performance features it offers? If not, I’d definitely recommend checking out their documentation to ensure you’re making the most of their stable features.

As you mentioned, GoDaddy could be part of the speed issue. When I ran an audit using PageSpeed Insights, it did seem like GoDaddy was taking a bit longer to respond than expected, though it’s not a major concern. If you’re thinking about switching your hosting and have some budget to spare, we’ve got some host suggestions on this page that might interest you.

Now, when it comes to the website you shared, it seems that images are the main culprits, hogging the top three spots for potential improvements. If your current plugin isn’t already doing it, make sure to manually compress your images, and keep up with the latest supported image formats in WordPress.

Using a Content Delivery Network (CDN) can also work wonders. Cloudflare is a fantastic choice, and it often suits the needs of smaller websites for free.

Lastly, to really amp up your website’s performance, I’d recommend giving WP Rocket a try. It goes beyond just caching and covers various other performance-related aspects.

By the way, for an added layer of security, you might consider enabling an HTTPS certificate. GoDaddy has a helpful article explaining how to do this right here.

Hi there @mfgr,

Hope this message finds you well. ??

The issue you’re having could be caused because your breadcrumb typically follows the hierarchy set in your WordPress menu structure.

A way you can address this problem is to consider using a custom breadcrumb plugin or creating a custom breadcrumb function if you have some coding skills.

When it comes to plugins, you can consider using options like Breadcrumb NavXT which provides you more control over your breadcrumb structure and might allow you to achieve the desired setup.

Please remember that before implementing any changes, it’s always a good practice to back up your website and test these modifications on a staging environment to ensure everything works as expected without disrupting your live site.

If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.

Hi @srd75,

Hope this message finds you well. ??

In the interest of security and maintaining a well-functioning website, it’s always a good practice to keep plugins up to date.

If you’re looking for an alternative, you might want to consider the “Redirection” plugin. It’s a highly-rated plugin that offers similar functionality, allowing you to redirect one URL to another. It’s actively maintained and frequently updated, which is essential for security and compatibility with the latest WordPress versions.

Before making any changes, make sure to back up your website and test the new plugin in a staging environment to ensure it works as expected and doesn’t cause any conflicts with your existing setup.

If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.

Hi @hanshanshanshans,

Are you using any kind of multilingual plugin on your website? If so, could you try deactivating it and adding the EN translation you want?

If the problem gets solved, try updating that plugin or reporting to the developer responsible for it. In case not, please inform here, so we can try a few more steps to get the issue solved.

Hope you have a great day,

Caio Ferreira

Hello again Frank,

Thanks for your reply!

I can see that you’ve defined WP_DEBUG twice in your wp-config.php. Try updating it to:

define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true);

After making that, ensure the /wp-content/logs directory is writable. Contact your hosting provider if unsure, and remember to clear cache if you do use one.

Sorry that I didn’t mention earlier, could you please try some simple steps below to see if you can get the problem solved?

1. Default WordPress Theme: Temporarily switch to a default theme, like “Twenty Twenty Three.” If issues resolve, your theme might be the cause.
2. Check .htaccess: Rename your .htaccess to .htaccess_old. Then, in WordPress, go to Settings > Permalinks and click “Save Changes” to create a new one.
3. Increase PHP Memory: Edit your wp-config.php and add:

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

4. Update All Components: Ensure WordPress, themes, and plugins are up-to-date.

Could you please let us know how it goes now?

Best,

Caio Ferreira

Hi starpage5054,

Hope this message finds you well. Thanks for reaching out the support!

I understand how frustrating it can be on your website! Let’s try to figure out the issue with some steps:

1. Check the Embed Code: The issue could be with the video embed code itself. When embedding an MP4 file, ensure that the autoplay attribute is not present or set to false. Your code should look something like this:

<video controls>
  <source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

Make sure that there’s no autoplay attribute inside the <video> tag.

2. Theme Conflict: The issue might be related to the specific theme you’re using, Eltorus by Pixity. Check if there’s an update available for the theme, as updates might contain bug fixes.

3. Alternative Hosting: As an alternative, you might consider hosting the video on a platform like YouTube or Vimeo and then embedding it on your site. These platforms offer more control over video playback behavior, and they may eliminate the autoplay issue.

Could you try these options and let us know if any has worked for you? Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need any assistance!

Regards,

Caio Ferreira

Hello centrumwdal,

I’m sorry you’re experiencing this issue on your WordPress site. The “white screen” problem can be a bit tricky, but let’s try some beginner-friendly steps to potentially resolve it:

1. Deactivate Plugins: Sometimes a specific plugin can cause problems. To check if this is the issue:
   • Log in to your website’s dashboard.
   • Go to the ‘Plugins’ section and deactivate all of them.
   • After deactivating, try to view or edit a post. If it works, one of the plugins was the problem. You can then activate them one by one to find out which one was causing the issue.
2. Switch to a Default Theme: It could be a theme problem.
   • In your dashboard, go to ‘Appearance’ > ‘Themes’.
   • Activate one of the default themes provided by WordPress (like “Twenty Twenty”).
   • Check if the problem persists. If everything works fine, then your previous theme was causing the issue.
3. Clear Browser Cache: Sometimes, old saved data in your browser can cause display issues.
   • Clear your browser’s cached data (you can search online for specific steps based on the browser you’re using).
   • Once done, try accessing your website again.
4. Ask for Help: If the above steps don’t resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your hosting provider’s support team. They might have tools or insights that can help.

Remember, while trying these steps, you won’t lose any content, but it’s always a good idea to have a backup of your website, just in case. If you’re unsure about something, it’s better to ask for help or clarification.

Wishing you the best of luck, and let us know if you have further questions.

Best regards,

Hi Frank Spade,

It’s unfortunate that you’re facing issues with the website editor. It’s essential to have a working editor to make changes to your site seamlessly. Given the details you’ve provided, here’s a structured approach to diagnose and hopefully fix the issue:

1. Theme Issue: Even though you’ve updated to TwentyTwentyThree 1.2, there’s still a possibility that the theme might have a conflict with WP 6.3. As a test, switch to a previous default theme (like TwentyTwentyTwo or TwentyTwentyOne) and see if the editor loads properly. If it does, the issue might be with the theme itself.
2. JavaScript Console Errors: Sometimes, the issue is related to JavaScript. Open your browser’s developer tools (usually F12 or right-click on the page and select “Inspect”), switch to the ‘Console’ tab, and check for any errors. These errors can provide clues about what’s causing the issue.
3. Script Minification/Concatenation: If you’re using any caching or optimization plugins that minify or concatenate JavaScript or CSS files, try clearing the cache or temporarily deactivating them. Sometimes, minification or concatenation can cause conflicts, especially after updates.
4. Browser Cache and Cookies: Clear your browser cache and cookies. Old cached data might interfere with the latest updates.
5. Test in a Different Browser: There’s a chance it might be a browser-specific issue. Test the editor in another browser to see if it loads correctly.
6. Server-side Cache: Some hosting providers have server-side caching in place. It might be a good idea to clear that cache (if applicable). Check your hosting panel or contact your hosting provider for guidance.
7. PHP Version: Ensure you’re running a recommended PHP version for WP 6.3. Typically, a newer version of PHP (e.g., 7.4 or 8.x) offers better performance and compatibility.
8. Rest API Issue: WordPress editor often communicates with the server using the REST API. If there’s an issue or blockage (e.g., from security plugins) with the REST API, it might affect the editor’s functionality. You can use plugins like “REST API Log” to diagnose any issues.
9. Manual Debugging: As a more technical step, you can enable WordPress debugging by adding the following lines to your wp-config.php:

define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);

1. After adding these, check your site and then look for a debug.log file within the wp-content directory. This file can provide more detailed information on any errors.
2. Seek Expert Help: If all else fails and the issue persists, it might be a good idea to contact a WordPress expert or developer to take a closer look.

Lastly, when you mentioned “Here is how it looks …”, I assume there was an image or a detailed description that I can’t see here. Providing such visuals can be very beneficial for troubleshooting, so ensure to attach or describe the issue in detail.

Hope one of these steps helps, and do let us know how it goes.

Warm regards,

Caio Ferreira
