Can you share what code it is you are seeing? For example, a shortcode is supposed to appear in the visual tab. Here is a resource with some more information on shortcodes.

I had a similar error in the past. I was able to resolve it by adding
define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
to wp-config.php

I recommend Relevanssi. I use it on a few of my sites and it works great for searching.

I included a link, but here are some of the key features as well.
– Search results sorted in the order of relevance, not by date.
– Fuzzy matching: match partial words, if complete words don’t match.
– Find documents matching either just one search term (OR query) or require all words to appear (AND query).
– Search for phrases with quotes, for example “search phrase”.
– Create custom excerpts that show where the hit was made, with the search terms highlighted.
– Highlight search terms in the documents when user clicks through search results.
– Search comments, tags, categories and custom fields.

I would recommend a service like Mailchimp for that. You could use the Mailchimp WordPress plugin to collect user information, that will feed into a Mailchimp list, then inside Mailchimp you can design an email to send out to your users. I believe you can also export Mailchimp users via CSV.

Is your site based on a theme? It could be that the developer deleted the line of php that load template parts such as your menu, header, and slideshow. If those lines were removed, they would be easy to replace. You could even swap out the php file that you have now with the one from your original theme, then compare them using a site like diffchecker.com and work backwards to figure out the PHP errors.

It sounds like you might have “Anyone can register” checked inside ‘admin panel > Settings > General’. If you want to prevent new users from signing up, uncheck this option.

The Job Engine Theme was created by Engine Themes. Please contact their theme support for help. Here is a link to their support page.

Can you supply a link to your site or the name of the theme you are using?

However, if you are comfortable with CSS, you could make a child theme and modify the #blogposts selector by removing float:left; and setting margin: 0 auto; but I think reaching out to their support team is a better solution

It looks like you are using the Sondos Theme by FlatLayers. Contact their support team to get help specific to the theme they designed. Here is a link to their support page.

Can you share the theme you are using? That will help with troubleshooting.

If you aren’t storing any private information or processing payments or forms, then you don’t need an SSL. However, SSL does provide privacy for your users and will likely help with SEO. If you are unsure of propagation status, I recommend checking whatsmydns.net to see what IP address your site is resolving to.

It sounds like there is a mismatch between the database where WordPress stores all of it’s information and your website. The config.php file contains your database information. A sample looks like this. You’ll notice there’s a spot for a database name, database user, and database password. Your hosting provider should have this information. You will need to verify that the parameters (name, user, password) inside config.php match the information that your hosting provider gives you.

You can use ImageOptim, and I usually use that before uploading my images. However, I suggest a much easier solution. There are WordPress plugins that will do that for you.

The two I recommend are:
EWWW Image Optimizer and
Smush Image Compression and Optimization.

Both allow you to optimize all of your images in your WordPress site. EWWW can be started from Media > Bulk Optimize and it will scan all images and optimize them for you. WP Smush will optimize them in batches of 50 I believe, and paying for the premium version will do them all at once.

The first image you shared is a full-width template with no sidebar. The second image is a blog page with a sidebar. I did some investigating and it looks like you’re using the Aden Theme from Infinity Themes. It’s best to reach out to their support team to get answers about their theme. I found their documentation here and the relevant section is layouts.
