[Hidden-tech] WordPress help, please

Sun Aug 16 01:06:04 UTC 2020

I didn't see an answer so I'll try out some ideas

1st off, as you noticed you should watch your versions -- php and 
wordpress, many hosts will do automatic updated on WP, most not on PHP 
(esp 5.x to 7.x)
A version update could cause a previously allowed argument case to be 
downgraded and so trigger a warning.
Since it sounds like some post are not showing, it is more a problem 
then annoying, you can deal with annoying by turning off warnings - 
usually in php.ini.

You said you updated WP and plugins, and themes -- themes seems suspects 
- esp since the issue is with post-custom-meta
It sounds like the theme is using a custom-meta value that is not 
handled right even with the upgrade.

I'd look closer at the theme, esp since it old and that the update is 
handling the meta right.
Esp since the mac vs PC difference - it really looks a version issue and 
possible with older code vs html5

Can't really do more with a direct look at the server -- next step is to 
have it gone over by whoever setup the combination originally
