Updates

Unfortunately, so far, it doesn’t work for me. Most pages just show the header & title, but the blog page (which is created differently) shows everything. Maybe it’s something I’ve done in my child theme. I’ll check the error messages when I have time.

I think at the moment this is beyond me. I chose Arke for 2 sites because my WordPress themes were running slow. But I wanted a few features, so I developed a child theme (this sounds like I know what I’m doing, but I really just followed online advice on this) to add those features. Both sites still score about 90 for mobile and 96 for desktop on Google Page Speeds.

I installed the child theme on both sites with mostly the same plugins. The only real difference was that one site was in classic WordPress which I coded in HTML and CSS, while the other was in blocks. The one in classic still loads properly with this upgrade in php (and did before you upgraded your code), whereas the block site is the one that won’t load. I have tried deactivating all plugins and it still doesn’t load, so that isn’t the problem.

I have checked my functions.php files (which is the file you updated) and there doesn’t appear to be anything in the crashing site that isn’t in the OK site, so I am at a loss what else to check. I guess I’ll just run the old version of php until something turns up.

Thanks for your help.
