I am working on a Wordpress site with the Lambda theme. On the client's computer (Chromebook) some spaces in the text are appearing as square symbols instead (but not all of them...).
I have been unable to recreate this issue on any computers, tablets or phones at my end... Here is what they see: screencap from client
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
Thanks so much
Squares mean the client can't read the character code. Chances are it's not actually a space. It's possible one is using one method of encoding and the other is not. Make sure they are both set to the same (e.g. UTF-8)
I can't find the lambda theme with my Add New Themes Dialog. I see them on the web. I wonder if they have recommended plugins that add new fonts to your system that you haven't loaded.

My website uploads texts some fraction of a second before the images or graphic appears.
I use elementor pro as my website builder and hello theme. Please wish to know how to tackle this issue. Thanks for helping.
The simple answer is: your browser prioritizes smaller file sizes. Use properly optimized images and make sure to use the webm format for optimal user experience.
That's it. There's nothing more to it than that. Use smaller images. You can look through google's do's and don'ts here.
My WordPress website takes a lot of time to load pages, a problem that many of us face. I used GT metrix to check my WordPress page and then checked my website waterfall.
One thing I saw taking more than half time of my page is an image which is not uploaded in my website.
check this image of gt metrix waterfall:
I checked it, and I found this is an image which I have not used in my entire webpage. Also I could not find where is this image used.
Same thing happens in different pages that has different images to it.
I deleted one image from my media but now when I check the GT metrix waterfall I get a 404 error code which means its still trying to load that image and I cannot find it.
This is a theme which I had purchased and its not a popular theme like divi or ocean and hence could not contact the support.
How to check where a particular image is used in my webpage using
the media library (can I do that?)
How to find out and remove this image? Or at least is there a way where I can delete the image from the library and hence my webpage should not look for this image wasting its time instead of getting a 404 code
Your problem is quite common indeed, for your specific case i can suggest by starting to search the image name in both code + DB, it MUST be somewhere.
If you cannot find it inside your stuff there's only one answer left: there's some JS third party script that is loading that for you, but in this case i seriously dubt it would be in the same domain as your site.
Using the media library there's not much you can understand, if you are VERY lucky it will have a message like "attached to" but that thing cover like 10% of the cases, most of the time the image ARE used but are not attached to anything like a post, so the media library won't tell you anything
I've had this happen before a few times, too. Isn't it frustrating!? If you could provide a URL, I (and others, I'm sure) would be happy to take a look and try to figure out what's going on. :)
For some reason I cant find a place to edit the header logo. The logo will appear in chrome browser. In most browsers, it will just be a blank square and say logo.
This all happened after a migration to a different server/database.
There is some info about plugins needing an authentication key. However, Im unsure if this is the problem as it requires purchase. Any ideas? Thank you!
It's a bit unclear on why this would happen as there are a number of reasons.
Here are a few main things to check:
Did the wp-content/uploads/ folder get copied across fully?
If point-1 is correct, can you access the logo file via URL?
Are you using a theme builder to add in the logo? If so, you might need to export and import a theme builder file.
No need to purchase anything. Since you mentioned that this happened after migration. This could be a source issue, the url of the image could be broken or still leading to the old website url. You can check this by going to the DevTools on chrome by tapping F12. Then, click colsole to check if there's an error and let us know about it.
I know this is probably not the best SO question ever because I don't have the relevant code (I don't know where it is and I can't find it). If anybody has seen this problem before or knows what is causing this I can't tell you how much I would appreciate it.
I have a storefront and the images in the storefront are showing up rotated 90 degrees to the left for no apparent reason.
The actual source files of the images are normal, if you look at the actual .jpg used in on the site they are upright.
How or why would they be showing up rotated? Is this some setting or a bug in WooCommerce?
Note
Yes, I've disabled every addon and used only WordPress and WooCommerce and the result is the same. Different themes yield the same result as well.
I discovered the problem in case anybody stumbles across this later down the road. The issue is with Apple's exif data and rotation information they store within each image. It is apparently not compatible with most computers and when you upload a picture from a mobile device from Apple (ipad, iphone etc.) you are likely to experience this phenomenon.
There is little than can be done about it, shy of uploading the images to a computer and manually fixing the orientation of all rotated images before using them.
I've developed a system in my application where emails are picked up with a regex, and then reversed in the source (to thwart bots). I then add the span class 'obfuscate email'. I then use CSS to reverse the the text back to be displayed and Javascript make sure that mailto: links still work.
I was pretty happy with my solution until I realised that copying and pasting the email puts it in the clipboard backwards. I was wondering if there was any way I could remedy this? I've been testing in Firefox 3 for OS X.
The page in question is available here: http://www.leaklocations.com.au/contact-us/
To see the problem, simply copy and paste the email on that site.
You can use the same Javascript to reverse the text as well as the mailto links. If the user doesn't have Javascript, then you can either settle for this problem or use an image.
I personally think it's going a bit over the top, but if you really want to obfuscate the address, why not obfuscate it in a human readable way? Instead of reversing the address, make the server output "info at leaklocations dot com dot au" and get javascript to fix it up?
If you wanted to stick to using the RTL CSS method, you could try playing around with the unicode character to reverse text: \u202E I'm not sure if that will help, but it's worth looking at
To see how this works, run this javascript:
alert("one \u202E two \u202E three")
and it'll output "one owt three"
Seriously, is it worth all this effort to obfuscate email addresses? Once the email makes it into a spammer's hands, it's all over. Better to have a good spam filter instead.
And if you use JavaScript to reverse the email addresses back again you are adding extra work for the browser on page load. If JavaScript is turned off or a user is on a mobile device that doesn't support JavaScript, they are screwed too.
Why not use something like MailHide from the reCaptcha folks to hide email addresses instead?
