If you have yoast seo installed, you can add the verification code there. Go to SEO>General>Webmaster Tools and add code there.

You should check with theme developer to see if the theme supports WooCommerce.

If not, you can add theme_support for WooCommerce.

Here is a link that explains how:

Note, this requires creating a child theme and adding code to functions.php file in child.

Glad it worked.

If WordPress keeps adding the -# to a post, it means there is already a post or image that has that url / slug. I forgot to mention images. they get a slug too.

If you go to All Pages or All Posts, there is a trash link at the top along with drafts and published. If you don’t see it, then you don’t have any files in trash.

When you delete a post or page, WordPress first puts them in the trash and then you have to empty trash to completely get rid of them.

If you’re starting a theme from scratch, then did you start with the Underscores theme?

Without see any error message, impossible to tell what’s wrong.

First, disable all plugins except 1 gallery plugin and see if that works. If not, then activate the 2017 theme and see if it works.

Also, you should try Jetpack. It has the ability to create the type of gallery you have; activate Carousel and Tiled Gallery.

Are you sure you don’t have anything in your trash with that slug. When wp adds -1 or some number, it means there’s already a page or post with that slug / title

When you get a theme, it has all the formats built in. In your case, you wanted something different than the theme developer intended so you had to customize it.

Some themes allow you to do this, but most don’t.

If there is already code in there, the create a new line and paste the code I sent you.

If it causes a problem, you can delete the code you pasted, but make sure to leave other code if it was already there.

Lucky you ??

Generally, with WordPress, updates don’t cause a problem, but rarely (for me) there is a problem due to some plugin capability or compatibility. In that case, you would need to figure out the problem based on the error messages.

If you create a backup of the site plus the database, you can reverse the upgrade if you need to, but that requires manually importing the database and copying the original files to the web server.

If you’re host has staging, then you can create a stage site from live site, do the updates and if everything is OK, migrate staging back to live. Not all hosts have this feature but it sure is nice for something like you’re doing.

go to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS and paste this code:

.hentry {border-bottom: 1px solid black;}

from WordPress admin, go to Plugins and deactivate WooCommerce. That will eliminate any affect WooCommerce had on your site.

If you know you will never use WooCommerce again, then you can delete it after you deactivate it.

Talk to your host. There might be some switch to turn on your site. Your site is not loading WordPress but instead a static file / message.
