I've come to this site after much research. After updating my wordpress site to 5.0.2 yesterday many different issues have risen on my site. I've been developing websites for the past six years and just recently (one week ago) moved to wordpress. I have been using this plugin known as WPBakery Page Builder to create my pages due to its ease and simplicity. My site has over 100 pages and the page builder really helps me with importing templates and different slides easily into multiple pages.
After updating Wordpress to the newest version, a new built-in page builder was added. This page builder is raw code and does not show any of my templates previously in WPBakery. As well as, it removed all my WPBakery templates. Every page now shows nothing in WPBakery and I'm trying to figure out how to restore all of this information.
I have tried restoring the older version of wordpress which did not work, currently I'm installing the latest back-up which was three days ago but its very outdated and is 5GB so is going to take all day. Other issues that have risen with this update include many icons disappearing (turned into blank squares) as well as a lot of random code has appeared throughout the site.
I have not touched the footer since creating the website and right after the wordpress update it turned to this:
new-footer
From this: old-footer
I understand how this site works and I probably won't receive any help but I have no where else to turn and if anyone can please help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.
Installing Classic Editor has fixed the issue! WPBakery templates are now back and the random code found throughout the website has disappeared.

I have a wordpress website, I created a customized php template to the homepage and loaded from the back-end in the template page settings.
During the last months everything was working perfectly when I change anything to the template code effects the homepage without any problems.
Suddenly, yesterday when I tried to upload a updated file, nothing changed on the homepage.
I remove the browser cache, and wordpress cache, used another device to check, without any luck.
The wordpress black admin tools bar appears on all sites pages so I can edit and control this page, but it's not appears on the homepage.
For sure I checked again the theme settings for the homepage and page template settings, and everything is correctly configured.
I tried to activate another theme, the surprise that I found the homepage still the same and all other pages changed to the new theme.
I am losing my mind due to this, and I don't understand what may happened.
Download your site on your computer and see whether it happens also on your own computer when simulating with XAMPP.
Are you sure that the new added files are really being uploaded to the server? did you check it up with downloading the files? Maybe the modified files could not been uploaded? Another thing would be that some new installed plugins are making those problems. Have you installed some new plugins like a plugin which are speeding up your wordpress site? There are some popular plugins which speed up your site with caching your whole site and working as a CDN.
Since i dont know which modification you do on your website it is difficult to find a solution. If those modifications are changes of articles then look into the database.
You could look into the SQL Database whether those new information are being saved. E.g. you try to post a new article. Is this article being saved in the SQL database? Do you see any errors on the page? Does this effect each page / section of your website or is it only for a specific module e.g. "image uploader"??
Did you try to replace a simple image on your site with another image ? Can you see the difference on the website? I would start with little steps to be sure whether this is a server issue, template issue or sth with unsufficient priviliges. There were also new wordpress updates, maybe they affected your template? Another thing would be to recover your complete site from a backup and see whether it works like before and be sure that your site has not been hacked.
We need to recreate our site from scratch. When I mean from scratch I mean we want to keep the same content (pages, articles, URLs and tons of media) and move it to a new WordPress installation with a different theme.
A brief background to try to understand what the underlying problem is. The current site (the one to be copied and transferred) is HUGE. It has more than 1500 pages and 3000 articles. It is currently running on an old version of WordPress and an outdated theme. We are deliberately not updating WordPress, theme and PHP so as not to risk crashing and being left without a site (this has already happened in the past with another installation).
What we have done is to create (on the same hosting) a new, updated installation of WordPress (on another directory). This will be the new and definitive one. Then – when all is said and done – we should use the name of the first installation (but this will be another issue to deal with at the end). We decided to operate in this way because we want everything to be done as safely as possible.
Some details:
Objective: SITE 1 -> SITE 2
SITE 1: Installation: domain.org/directory1 WordPress 5.2 PHP 7.1.33
Theme: Awaken
SITE 2: Installation: domain.org/directory2 WordPress 5.7.1 PHP
7.1.33 Theme: Divi Builder
At the moment, we have already installed the new theme in directory2 and created the home page that will host all the pages and articles from the old site. We are not interested in keeping the plugins. Our aim is for the new installation to be as “clean” as possible, without the risk of dragging around old problems.
What do you think is the correct way to proceed? Again, the most important thing is that the links are not changed (so that the URLs will still work once the change has been made; I mean: domain.org/directory1/perma/link/article-written-in-the past = domain.org/directory2/perma/link/article-written-in-the past
Could the export/import tool do this job? How should I proceed to make sure that I don’t affect the performance of the new site? Is it possible to carry out a test with a few pages to see if this can be done?
Thank you all!
The first step is to create a backup of the existing site. You can do this manually, you need all of the site files plus the database.
However, Duplicator is a great plugin that will create a backup package that includes everything for you. One thing to be aware of is the size of your site may cause issues for the plugin do to server load, but its the easiest method. There are other plugins as well to help with migration.
Once you have everything you can copy it to a new domaon like dev.website.com. The installer from Duplicator will help with the url updates, but its pretty easy to adjust in the config file and database options table. If you use relative urls most things wont be an issue, but a simple find and replace in the database will easy update any absolute urls.
Once you have made all your changes in dev you just reverse the process by writing over the live site and your set. This is safe beacuse you have a backup of the live site from step one in case you need to revert to the current state.
I am trying to figure out a solution to a problem that have occured for my father, who has absolutely no knowledge of Wordpress or what he's been doing with his page. Me myself don't have too much knowledge of Wordpress or its functions, but have tried to find a solution on my own.
The problem: After logging on to the Wordpress admin page (wp-admin/edit) from the webpage (http://[webpagename].com/wp-login.php) only the left panel is visible for almost all functions except a few. Only the following page-tabs return pages with information
Admin->Akismet statistics
Addons->Configure Akismet
Tool->Backup
Settings->Google analytics
Settings-> MapPress
Settings->Language
Settings->Coming soon
Contact
All other tabs turn out as white pages to the right. I have tried in up to date browsers Google Chrome, IE 11 and Firefox. The webpage is fully visible and functional in itself, it is only when trying to change it via wp-admin link I have problem.
I have read the answers to similiar problems in the links related to this post: wp-admin shows blank page, how to fix it? (I can not post the links myself since I am a new member).
But all of above seems to use an installed program to configure the pages and the solution mostly boils down to disable installed plugins or running the page in debug mode. Since we don't have a program installed nor have the choice to disable any plugins or configuring any files, none of these solutions are applicable as I can see it.
Does anyone know why we can't configure the web page anymore using the http://[webpagename].com/wp-login.php page?
Thank you for your time.

After a long time I finally updated WooCommerce with the latest update.
Now, in the checkout, it shows two sets of all the available payment methods.
I have been looking at the file review_order.php in the woocommerce folder but I couldnt find a solution there.
Do any of you know what the error might be and where I should look for the bug?
I appreciate all the information you can give me!
FYI: I can´t contact WooThemes since the solution is bought from many years ago and I dont have the license.
I had the same problem. You need to update the template overwriting files in your theme.
My issue was that the template files in woocommerce/templates/checkout/review-order.php was different from the one that was overwriting it in my theme.
The theme I used had some pre-packaged templates and all I had to do was copy the code from the new WooCommerce version over to the theme.
It was clear when you look at the file header that there was updates. I was on 2.1.3 and the latest that comes with the plugin is 2.3.0.
WooCommerce warns you about out dated template files all the time... but the work involved updating them sucks.
Good Luck!
I have created a wordpress plugin from scratch. When I check other plugins in Wordpress admin. If there is any update in Plugins installed page, I can see a message
Say, for e.g Contact Form - I am right now getting a message
There is a new version of Contact Form 7 available. View version 3.7.2 details or update now.
What will I have to do so that people come to know any new version of my plugin is available.
What will be case If the plugin is free and also incase it is paid.
One last question How do add the feature to check for wordpress compatibility of the plugin. Since I have programmed it to work on Wordpress version 3.8.1. How can I be sure that the plugin will also work on lower versions of wordpress 3.8.1. Is installing it on every wordpress version and testing the plugin the only way to know. Or is there any simple approach to know the plugin will be compatible.
Thanks in Advance.
At first, you have to develop the plugin by following the WordPress standard coding guide lines and then you have to submit the plugin to WordPress Plugin Directory and if your plugin get approved then you have to keep it in the WordPress plugin repository. There are several steps for doing this, so you should follow the steps, at first begin from Writing a Plugin.
You also have to be familiar with Subversion (SVN) and ael these takes quite a time to complete the complete process from developing to submitting till approval of your plugin. Also, remember that, the community/team who check plugins submitted by plugin authors are professionals and it could be possible that your plugin might be rejected if the plugin doesn't match the criterion of the standard WordPress plugin, such as licensing, coding style etc.
You may also check this link for useful resources about writing a plugin. It may sounds scary but it's not impossible and very easy, just follow the instructions and keep going on.
If your plugin finally get approved and saved in the plugin repository by you then every time you update your plugin source, it'll be visible in the admin panel of a user who is using your plugin but there are some process related with it, you should keep reading and you'll get the idea. It's not possible describe everything here, it's too broad. Everything you need about plugin development, the first place is the Codex to look information for.
