WordPress 5.0 Update Issue - wordpress

I was doing a routine update procedure on a WordPress website and then I just simply updated the WordPress website and everything started to fell, well all the links are now not loading from the domain itself but instead form a weird domain that seems to be like a CDN but it's actually nothing I have attached console logs so anyone can help me as the styles and all the CSS files are not loading that is making everything worse.
Thanks

The wp.com domain is owned by Automattic, a popular Wordpress commercial service provider (Wordpress.com, WooCommerce, WooThemes, and others). Are you using their plugin Jetpack ? I have been reading forum threads lately of people having similar issues and they were all using the Jetpack plugin with its CDN option enabled.
There is a setting to disable the CDN in Jetpack that may fix this issue. However, some are not able to resolve the issue this way. In this case, I've seen Automattic staff members encouraging people to file a support ticket for one-on-one support.

You are using jetpack plugin
disable CDN option
or you can paste the CSS into Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS to provide a temporary fix.

When saved, WordPress editor automatically adds "rel=nofollow" to every external link

currently I'm running into this issue, where external links are automatically set to no-follow by WordPress. As of now I wasn't able to detect the source of this behaviour.
The page uses the Classic Editor (v1.6.2) Plugin - however, the problem still occurs without the use of this Plugin.
There are a bunch of other plugins installed but those are not directly involved with the post editin feature of WordPress. Are there any clues which might cause this issue?
If you need any information I can provide.
Which other Plugins are you using?
Are you maybe using RankMath or another SEO Plugin?
These have a setting to make all external links with "rel=nofollow". You would need to deactivate this or add an exceptions for specific domains.
Check the settings.

Disable External Content loaded from Wordpress Plugins

The Websites of my clients use Wordpress Plugins, that load external Content like Google Fonts, which Violates the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). I am trying to find a way to comply with the GDPR.
I tried disabling or uninstalling the plugins, whcih only worked for a few Cases. Most often doing this broke the website.
Adding a local Copy of the external content, only works for Plugins where I can change the reference to the content.
So there are still plugins that are in violation with the GDPR and I have no effective way to deal with them.
There is a plugin that can search for all google fonts and install them locally: https://wordpress.org/plugins/local-google-fonts/

Caching on wordpress and pagebuilders

I am building a website and I am always having issues with development because of caching.
We are using Siteground with the SG Optimizer plugin active, we are using Elementor as page builder, we are using Sucuri who is also caching.
Does anyone knows what do I need to do to be able to see my website as it is, instead of the caching versions ? Many times I click on purge cache on Wordpress, or I go to Siteground to remove Memcache but is like I can't never see the changes i made on elementor in live.
Any help about how to avoir this kind of issues would be great !
Thanks!
Turn off the cache while developing.
Caching is only beneficial once in production.

Website not posting to Facebook: security & app id issues

I'm a new WordPress designer. My site runs Tesseract Theme and is built with Beaver Builder.
PROBLEM: When I post my website (https://louiseclark.tech) on Facebook it removed my site after a couple minutes. Now when I try to post my site it gives me this message--> It looks like a link you're sharing might be unsafe. If you can, please remove this link: louiseclark.tech Note: The unsafe link might be on the page you’re linking to.
What I've done to try and resolve:
When I ran my site through the Facebook debugger I got this message:
The 'fb:app_id' property should be explicitly provided, Specify the app ID so that stories shared to Facebook will be properly attributed to the app. Alternatively, app_id can be set in url when open the share dialog.
I created an app id following this instructional video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V97h03H21y0
I pasted my app id into my Yoast SEO plugin under the Facebook category.
Check my Google Webmaster Tools Sitemap...all is verified and sitemap set.
SSL certificate is set - checked with my hosting company SiteGround. When I asked them about this problem they didn't really feel that the security issues where from their side.
I've reported this problem to the black hole that is Facebook support.
Thank you for any insight.
In case anyone sees this thread, I found the solution.
When I moved my WordPress sites to managed WordPress hosting I also migrated my websites to https with the SSL certificates. While the pages were migrated and displaying the https just fine, the images still held their old url (http).
I did two things:
I installed SSL Content Fixer plugin. This worked for some images but not others.
I installed Better Search Replace plugin. I had found the specific insecure images using Firefox. From my page in Firefox, I went to:
Tools -> Page Info -> Media This showed me every image/js/css call on this page. Finding these images allowed me to use the plugin to make the changes.
It worked. I'm quite sure knowing how to code my site would be much better in this situation. But I'm a newbie and this is what I could come up with.
What I learned: It's a flag when you have a secure site that embeds non secure objects/images.

How can i hide my platform (CMS)

I have Joomla and Drupal sites, but I don't want others to find out what platform (CMS) I'm running.
I want to prevent detection from tools like Wappalyzer or similar tools. (as seen in this screenshot: http://i43.tinypic.com/2evc6qo.png)
I've heard that has to do with meta tags but I'm not sure.
There is no way to hide the fact you're using Joomla. If you inspect the source code of a websites built using Wordpress for example, you will see wp-includes within the URL's of CSS and JS file includes.
When using Joomla, you can type /administrator at the end of the URL, however if the admin URL is hidden, against, inspecting the source can give it away.
This might be of little help:

For Drupal, see the community wiki page "Hide, obscure, or remove clues that a site runs on Drupal":
The short answer is :
You can't. Do not try.
You can get pretty far with trying to hide the fact that your site runs on Drupal. But at some point you’ll probably don’t run Drupal anymore ;-)
Have a look …

There is way to hide Joomla from bots.
You need to use this jomdefender plugin. It removes word joomla from all pages, change admin page and add few antibot tricks.
Its not perfect, but it still adds much more security to your joomla such as file integrity check, which could be quite usefull when some file gets hacked.
