That’s not a mistake. When you click on the image https://www.old-school-rock.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Jens-Broemsser_kl.jpg, the image https://www.old-school-rock.de/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Jens-Broemsser.png should really be displayed (via an individual URL). Only my problem the non-transparent area in this png-image.

PHP 5.6 is extremely outdated. There have been no security updates or corrections for this version since 2019. A change to a current PHP version (such as 8.1 or newer) is strongly recommended.

WordPress in the current version 6.7.x is only compatible with PHP 7.2 or newer. This means that you cannot perform a direct update (neither of PHP nor of WordPress). Your developer would have to do this step by step. My recommendation would be to update PHP to 7.2 first, then update WordPress and all plugins and the theme. Then set PHP to 8.1.

The sticking point here are the plugins you use and the theme. If these have not kept up with the times, then you will probably have to do without some of them. In the worst case, you will also need a completely new theme. Your developer will certainly have to provide you with a solution here. The alternative to updating would be a completely new website.

Thanks for sending that my way @gappiah. So I created an instawp site https://unsurpassable-cardinal-e349a2.instawp.xyz to make sure there wasn’t an issue with the hosting somehow (I didn’t think so). I replicated my setup, which is one single post with simple text content in each of the five different block builders. I got the same result as I have on every other test I’ve run… the excerpt won’t display for the content put in some of the block builders (at least Nexter, Otter, Gutenverse).

Obviously the excerpt worked for your configuration so there has to be something different in the configuration. In looking at your screenshots it looks like maybe you put the different block builder sections onto a page with the latest posts block into each section(???). If so, that’s not what I’m doing. What I’m doing is creating one post with each block builder section onto that single post with some simple texts into each section. Then I have a single page with the latest posts block on it to view the excerpt.

So, the post content is in each of the different block builder sections, not the latest posts block inside each of the block builder sections.

Here is a link to where you can download a post and page WP import so you can get my exact post and page setup in the thought that you (or someone) could copy / paste and see if you get the same results I do. https://entretools.nimbusweb.me/share/11612897/k369h2zx8vfu47hrfzay

@iamshubhamsp somehow i was able to access elementor now in Chrome. I think that last troubleshooting helped. This one Elementor >> Settings >> Advanced >> Change loader method. Thank you so much!

Hi,

Yes, we encountered this issue especially on sites that are poorly maintained. For example: We have inherited a site that was not updated for… …more than 2 years. You have an idea on the outcome after we made an initial update – it’s a nightmare. I’m not an expert but chimming in to your questions:

WordPress is constantly updated for enhancements, new features, bugfixes and most importantly, security. So there are some instances where things are depreciated on Core, that the developers need to adjust.
To avoid issues on your production site, it’s essential to set up a staging site. This is where you should first update the WordPress Core, plugins, and themes. After making these updates, conduct thorough testing to ensure that no regressions occur before deploying changes to your live site.

Should you find regressions on your staging site, you have to make patch to fix your theme and plugins if you coded these, otherwise look for the updated version from the author.

I wouldn’t suggest to keep using older versions of WordPress Core for a long time since the security issues also evolving, thus maintaining the site properly ensures it can possibly be prevented.

Cheers!

Hi yes @gappiah, but i’d like to give him some troubleshooting or solutions how to fix it. Is there a way to fix it?

For best support, I asking the team that built the Elementor plugin.

If you’re using the free version of Elementor, post your issue in the plugin’s dedicated support forum here: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/. If you’re using any of the paid (PRO) versions, please use their official website here https://elementor.com/support/ as questions about commercial plugins are not allowed here.

Good luck!

I tried to log in to see the problem but it doesn’t recognise my email or my usual login name.

I had to create another account with my private mail to be able to ask for help here since I can’t access my original.

Your “email and usual login name” are for your own WordPress website (which you say is inaccessible now). You can’t use these to login to WordPress.org — as these are completely different websites.

As to your website not working, I’m getting ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED which is a DNS problem, pointing to issues with your domain. A quick lookup on the Swedish Internet Foundation’s website shows your domain name editjsu.se has expired.

Please contact your registrar to renew your domain. WordPress has nothing to do with this.

Good luck!
