I got this error because the menu item was set to guest and after a user logged in the error would show.
The reason the menu item was set to guest is because I was using it for a login button. The other menu item was “logout”. When the user logged in it showed and the “login” was unpublished .
I set the user to “Publisher” and “Public” and I redirected the login on the menu item to a “How to update your site” page.

I moved a Joomla 3.8 site with Chronoforms 6 and I got this error:
1146 Table 'XXXXXXXXX.#__chronoengine_forms6_blocks' doesn't exist
I quickly found this post.
https://www.chronoengine.com/forums/posts/t104239/1146-table-xxxxxxxxx-chronoengine-forms6-blocks-doesnt-exist
I backed up the form. Uninstalled the Chronoforms6 component and plugin. Downloaded the latest versions and restored the form. After that everything worked fine.

This error looked like this.
This error was fixed by going to the following path and renaming “MSMAPI32.DLL” to “MSMAPI32.old”. After that the program worked normally. The path the DLL on Windows 10 is “C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\system\MSMAPI\1033”.

Divi’s portfolio modules and projects component make adding the project / portfolio a breeze. I found a short code from Surbma that allowed me to quickly add the project tags to the page. The issue I had is when the user clicked on the tag the projects were displaying as single-column blog style and I wanted the columned style the module displayed.
The page got me in the right direction.
This was so close to what I wanted.
The boxes were not totally lined up so I ended up implementing “Flex” in the CSS to make the boxes fit a little better. I used the following article to guide me.
The next issue was being able to build this page like the other pages I had built in the Divi builder. I needed to add back the Yoast Breadcrumbs and this article helped.
I was hoping to build “child-theme” sub-page and I had trouble coming up with the right Taxonomy. What I needed was “taxonomy-project-tag.php” or “taxonomy-project-tag-tag label.php”
” .The following page helped me determine the right taxonomy for page of linked projects by tags.

With WordPress themes it is always better to create a Child Theme when you can so when your theme has a update your time spent customizing the CSS isn’t lost.
I stumbled onto the following page the other day that was a great help to get started. I was use to just writing my own, but this saved a bunch of time.

Working on a new WordPress site I really wanted to go deep with DIVI. I got stuck on an issue with the dropdown submenu items. They were horizontal instead of a standard one below the other.
The issue was quickly solved when I created a new menu and made that one the primary.

I was surprised I wasn’t able to do this easier, but it looks like others have struggled with this as well. I did get it fixed, and was able to limit the word count. I didn’t make a override yet but I will.
In the latest_item.php file I replaced:
<?php echo $this->item->introtext; ?>
with
<?php echo K2HelperUtilities::wordLimit($this->item->introtext, 50); ?>
Here is the thread that helped me solve it

I learned since Joomla 1.5 that updating is a must. Make a backup and install the update. You never know unless you try.
Today I saw an article that gives a great reason for updating to 3.8….answer is security.
For eight years, hackers have been able to exploit this password-stealing flaw in Joomla

I needed to add a video to page/article in a Joomla! 3.8 site. I saw the JCE advertises as being able to do this with just a URL. I love the way WordPress embeds YouTube videos and hoped it would be the same experience. It wasn’t, but it wasn’t bad.
The first issue I had was my subscription was expired. That was a cheap fix. Less than 30 bucks and ready. After installing the Pro component I didn’t see where I could add video yet. I tried just the URL but that didn’t work. I solved my issue by adding the special toolbar in the JCE to the normal JCE toolbar. Here is a video of how to set this.
