Need WP Help after trying everywhere else!!

[btadams]

For the past year we have been using WP as our business venture site. It has been a bit of a nightmare. We hired a developer to fix some pretty straight forward things, and they do not work. But, they seem so simple. Would somebody be able to point me in the right direction in fixing some issues? It would be so greatly appreciated.

I'm stumped. I don't expect you to fix them, but point me in the right direction? I posted some screenshots of issues we started having last week (subtractmusic.com/screens). These little errors just started happening, then it just started not coming up at all, as you just fixed. Would be so appreciated. We also use 1&1 for our main product and services site/store, and are transferring over everything to you guys. 1&1 never gets back to us so fast. Thanks.


2. Too much space below on homepage (01.jpg)
3. Bad code in artist pages (02.jpg, 03.jpg)
4. Font for artist name is too large, somehow changed (04.jpg)
5. bottom nav bar is cut off on artists page(05.jpg)
6. add flag and country name fields on the artist page. We had it working once, but the field keeps disappearing. (06.jpg (example on a site we like), 07.jpg)
7. The search is always bringing up the same stuff? It hasn't always. (any keyword produces the same result)

Any suggestions?? Please?

It sounds to me like the 'developers' changed core files, and core DB tables rather than creating plugins for the changes, and WP or your theme were updated which reversed the developers changes.

William may be onto something. If the issues were fixed, then not fixed and update may have overridden the corrected files.

Make sure if you're using a standard theme that a child theme has been set up to avoid this problem down the road.

Specifically, the blank space issue may be related to the footer lining up along the bottom of the page. If you change the screen size it gets moved up. That is likely something set in the CSS. Having a child theme to fix that issue will also eliminate the need to worry about future theme updates; you're new CSS will still take precedent.

The weird float (the artist lining up on the right, rather than the left) is probably also a CSS issue. It's actually not happening on my Chrome so it may be a browser-related issue.

Font size and nav bar cutoff are also likely css issues.

Flag/country name sounds like the custom fields are getting pulled in.

The search issue looks like it's only looking on the current page and not the whole site.

The empty box is just an empty div. If you delete the following code from line 757 to 778 the box and empty space will disappear.

<div class="clear"></div> </div> <div title="Read more" class="loopcol col2"> <div onClick = "location.href='';" id="post-" class=""> <div class="attachment-cube post-thumbnail"> <a href="" alt="Permalink to "> <div class="rollover"></div> </a> </div> <div class="cubepage post-inner"> <div class="clear"></div> <!-- .entry-meta --> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="" title="Permalink to " rel="bookmark"> </a></h2> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="dateteaser"> <a href="">...</a> <div class="clear"></div> </div> </div>

Correct: However.. this being WordPress those lines could be in one of several templates, and they would not be those line numbers in the template.
