@stefsternyc – I appreciate that. Starting from nothing and learning while I am going has had some very tough and long days. Enjoy the game and sorry to your wife for taking so much of your time.

Haha…Go Red Sox! Thank you for your help.

@stefsternyc & @phoenixfireball – Guys I can’t thank you enough for the time you took to help me out and get me to look at my site a little different to problem solve issues. Thank you again for all of your time!

@stefsternyc – You had mentioned some code being below an @media query. I am unfamiliar with that. Did any of the changes I just made fix that issue? Or is there something else I need to do now for that issue?

@phoenixfireball – I just moved all CSS over to my Oceanwp theme custom CSS. I then removed all CSS from Site Origin. I also deleted the WP Fastest Plugin. All seems to look good so far.

@phoenixfireball – I didn’t even know what CSS was a few weeks ago. Now I am a little comfortable with it and finding the elements with the Inspect tool. I think I agree with you. I will not use Site Origin for CSS. I will move what I have over to Oceanwp and remove all CSS from the Site Origin Plugin.

@phoenixfireball – Right now my site traffic is minimal, so that is good. I will absolutely take your advice and use one of the two free ones for now until I can get the site corrected and eventually (hopefully) generating some revenue. Then I will go for the WP Rocket.

@stefsternyc – I appreciate that guidance. I have a ton of learning to do. Can I please clarify from an early question. Should I move my custom CSS out of Site Origin and into my theme’s custom CSS? Will this help for now until I can learn why and how the comment strikeouts are there?

@stefsternyc – Thanks! Can you toss my a rag so I can wipe up all the ketchup!! Honestly though, how do I go about cleaning up my mess? Since I did not mean to do it in the first place, knowing what to do to clean it up is confusing.

@phoenixfireball – Just deactivated WP Fastest Cache. As my host has also shut of caching, should I activate another plugin?

@phoenixfireball – Yes I will turn that off now.

@stefsternyc – I appreciate that, and at the same time don’t mind you giving me a hard time! I deserve it. To eliminate more errors I want to make sure I do this right. I will move my CSS from Site Origin Plugin to the CSS of my theme. Then I will delete all CSS from the Site Origin Plugin.

NYC..LOL! I am a he and that was a good analogy!! This is what I get for trying to teach myself. I have never intentionally tried to strike out any code or remove it. With spaces I have about 65 lines of CSS that I tried to add and that is it. So for me, trying to understand why there is so many commented out files/lines. Would that be plugins conflicting?

David. I will have to unfortunately admit that any and all errors are from me. None of which are intentional. I am familiar with the Inspect for Chrome and just saw I can dig a little deeper with the Developer Tools also. The problem is I am learning as I go. I don’t have the money to hire someone so I am building myself. The WPFC Minified plugin doesn’t sound familiar of anything I have added. I know in WP Fastest Cache there is an option to delete cache and minified CSS/JS.

NYC. No worries. I have noticed before a lot of strikeouts through code, but didn’t know why. Besides using Plugins, I have changed anything besides some CSS. Is the view source an extension on Chrome? I have used the inspect tool, but like David said it is hard to read through. Is it possible my new site was hacked? I wouldn’t know how to begin to clean up the code. Any advice to at least get me started!
