This guide walks you through how we fixed the problem without rebuilding the page from scratch.

⚠️ The Issue: Draft Page Won’t Load

A client reached out after noticing that their draft homepage wouldn’t open in the Elementor editor, while the live homepage still loaded—just very slowly. They had already made major edits on the draft and wanted to avoid starting over.

Initial signs pointed to a setting or feature conflict inside Elementor.

What We Found

• Elementor Experiments Were Active
  We reviewed the settings under Elementor → Features. Changing these between default, active, and inactive didn’t solve the issue.

• Conflict With Container Layout
  Disabling Elementor’s Container feature fixed the loading problem—but wiped the page content.

• The Real Culprit: Icon List Widget
  We isolated the issue to Elementor’s built-in Icon List widget. Disabling it from the Element Manager let the editor load again without deleting content.

How We Fixed It

1. Cloned the Site to Staging
   So we could safely test settings without affecting the live version.

2. Disabled the Container Feature
   This restored editor access, but temporarily removed the draft’s content.

3. Pinpointed the Problem Widget
   We tested individual widgets and found that the Icon List was causing the crash.

4. Disabled the Icon List
   After turning off just this widget, both the live and test pages loaded perfectly in the editor.

What Changed After the Fix

• Elementor editor loads on both test and live homepages

• No content was lost or deleted

• Editor is slightly faster (but may still lag on heavy pages)

Lessons Learned

• Don’t overlook Elementor’s built-in widgets — even standard elements can cause crashes when combined with certain features

• Use staging to test — always safer to run experiments outside of your live site

• Container layouts aren’t always stable — disabling them temporarily can help isolate the issue

• Performance matters — large pages with complex layouts can still affect editor speed

Issue Overview

A site admin noticed a security alert from the miniOrange plugin:

“Alert: 2390 unrestricted APIs accessed. Each one could be an open door to vulnerabilities…”

Despite the alarming tone, there were no signs of suspicious activity or vulnerabilities on the site.

Our Findings

Alert Context

The alert was part of miniOrange’s upsell strategy—aimed at promoting premium features rather than flagging actual risk.

Secure Endpoints

All custom REST APIs were protected. Only internal miniOrange endpoints remained open, which is expected for plugin functionality.

️ No Data at Risk

No sensitive or public-facing data was exposed. No unusual traffic or breach indicators were detected.

✅ Safe to Ignore

Freshy confirmed that the current configuration was secure, and the alert did not require action unless the client wanted premium features.

Outcome

The warning was classified as non-critical and marketing-driven. No plugin changes were necessary, and REST API access remained secure as configured.

Summary

Importing job data from Workday into WordPress can create messy, duplicated location listings—especially when variations like “Home Office USA – Texas” and “Home Office USA – California” are treated separately. This guide shows how Integriti Studio streamlined job listings by consolidating these into one unified taxonomy term using reference IDs and WP All Import.

The Problem

Job locations from Workday were appearing multiple times on the job board—each variation technically unique due to state-level detail, but visually redundant for users.

What We Found

✅ Variations with unique IDs

Each Workday location used a unique reference ID (e.g., Aberdeen = ID 128), despite looking similar in text.

✅ Duplicate listings

The frontend displayed dozens of “Home Office USA” variations instead of one grouped category.

How We Fixed It

1. Custom taxonomy strategy

We decided to leave Workday data untouched and consolidate entries within WordPress using taxonomy terms.

2. Smart import rules

WP All Import was configured to detect and group job locations based on their reference ID instead of the raw text.

3. Custom PHP for hierarchy

We added a function that placed each matched location under a single parent term: “Home Office USA.”

4. Manual sync reminders

Since the import isn’t automated, new Workday locations must be manually mapped in WordPress with matching slugs.

Final Result

Job listings now show a clean, user-friendly “Home Office USA” group, without the confusion of redundant entries—boosting clarity and consistency across the board.

Need a Smarter Workday Integration?

Integriti Studio helps streamline complex imports and taxonomy structures—without disrupting your data.

‍

Issue Background:

By default, WooCommerce category pages focus solely on product listings. While clean and visual, this structure limits on-page SEO:

• Pages lack crawlable content for search engines.

• Default category descriptions appear above products, not ideal for user flow or optimization.

• Plugins like Yoast SEO help with meta data—but not with visible content display on category templates.

An SEO team requested a flexible content section beneath the product grid to improve indexing and keyword targeting.

Diagnosis:

• Yoast SEO couldn’t handle content injection below product listings.

• The default description field was limited in placement and styling.

• No existing WYSIWYG or user-editable field supported rich content per category.

Resolution Steps:

1. Created a new ACF field:
   A WYSIWYG editor was added to WooCommerce product categories using Advanced Custom Fields PRO.

2. Wrote a custom shortcode:
   A custom shortcode rendered the ACF field below product grids on archive templates.

3. Tested and styled the content block:
   We verified compatibility with existing category templates and ensured formatting held across mobile and desktop.

4. Flagged pagination concerns for future:
   Minor quirks with pagination were observed during testing and documented for future template refinement.

Final Outcome:

Each product category page now includes an editable, SEO-optimized content section under the product listings. This gives content managers space to:

• Add keyword-focused copy.

• Link to related categories or landing pages.

• Include images or helpful context for shoppers.

It’s a clean, scalable solution to boost crawlability without compromising the shopping experience.

The Problem: Unwanted Submissions from Outside Service Areas

The client’s WooCommerce site was getting flooded with form entries from users outside their target ZIP code list—wasting valuable time and resources.

They wanted a simple, automatic way to stop this and only allow form submissions from approved ZIP codes.

What We Found

• Gravity Forms doesn’t support this natively. There’s no built-in ZIP validation.

• A custom solution was required using a predefined ZIP list and a validation hook.

• Initially, the client wanted this for one form, but later expanded it to cover all forms site-wide.

Implementation Steps

Step 1: Create a ZIP Code List

We converted the client’s list of 209 valid ZIP codes into a PHP array:

php

CopyEdit

$allowed_zips = [‘20105’, ‘20109’, ‘20110’, ‘20111’, ‘20112’, …];

Step 2: Add Custom Validation Hook

We used a Gravity Forms filter to check the ZIP code field before submission:

php

CopyEdit

add_filter(‘gform_field_validation_4_9’, ‘custom_zip_validation’, 10, 4);

function custom_zip_validation($result, $value, $form, $field) {
   $allowed_zips = […]; // your ZIP list
   if (!in_array($value, $allowed_zips)) {
       $result[‘is_valid’] = false;
       $result[‘message’] = ‘Sorry, we do not service your area.’;
   }
   return $result;
}

(4 = Form ID, 9 = ZIP Code Field ID)

Step 3: Resolve Other Errors

While testing, we encountered unrelated JavaScript issues that were not tied to the ZIP logic. Once confirmed, we pushed the code live without risk.

Step 4: Make It Global

Later, we upgraded the logic to work across all forms by checking for any field labeled “ZIP Code” dynamically—so no need to edit each form individually.

Results That Matter

• The site _now automatically blocks ZIP codes outside the service area.

• Lead quality and team productivity have both improved.

• The setup is easy to update or expand as needed.

The Challenge

The client needed quizzes that could:

• Randomly pull questions from a larger bank

• Filter based on a student’s region (e.g., Colorado vs. California)

• Allow access via codes or QR

• Support both English and Spanish

• Import questions via CSV

• Schedule tests by date

What We Did

Region-Specific Pools

‍
We grouped questions by state and topic using the LearnDash Multi Question Categories plugin, allowing quizzes to dynamically pull the right mix.

Randomized Quiz Logic

‍
Used learndash_get_quiz_questions() to fetch different questions for each student, even within the same region.

Scheduling + Gated Access

‍
LearnDash’s drip-feed features made it easy to control when each test appears.

Code-Based Access

‍
We proposed a small add-on to generate unique test links + QR codes to simplify access per student.

Language Support

‍
Set up multilingual quizzes with WPML and LearnDash’s translation tools.

Bulk Question Upload

‍
Enabled quiz bank uploads via spreadsheet with the Quiz Import Export plugin—saving tons of admin time.

The Result

✅ Random quizzes tailored by location
✅ English + Spanish support
✅ Admins can upload 100s of questions in seconds
✅ Students access tests through personalized codes or QR links

Issue Background:

A WordPress site selling courses through WooCommerce disabled guest checkout, requiring users to create an account during purchase. However, after checkout:

• Courses were marked as expired for new users.

• This only occurred on the live site, not staging.

• The client used a custom plugin (“SuperTest SP”) and the User Switching plugin for testing.

Diagnosis:

• Timing conflict: The custom plugin evaluated course access before WooCommerce had fully processed the order and assigned user metadata.

• Role-based logic flaw: The function that determined whether access was “active” or “expired” relied on incomplete user data.

• Environment difference: Staging didn’t exhibit the problem due to faster or more lenient processing behavior.

Resolution Steps:

1. Tested with new accounts using User Switching to simulate the customer journey.

2. Audited the custom plugin code to locate and update the logic determining course access.

3. Added a delay or condition to ensure evaluation occurred after order completion and role assignment.

4. Validated changes on staging, then deployed to production.

Final Outcome:

Course access now updates correctly as “active” upon purchase completion. Customers no longer face confusion or support issues related to “expired” content immediately after buying.

Issue Overview

A development site built with a custom theme (no Avada or Elementor) had a persistent layout issue:

• The navigation “jumped down” below the logo around 1539px screen width.

• Menu items overlapped or misaligned in tablet view.

• A grey background appeared in the header when it should have been white.

• A custom search integration (Ajax Search Pro) may have contributed to the header complexity.

How We Fixed It

CSS Realignment

• Removed float styles on the logo causing layout shifts.

• Repositioned elements to prevent navigation from dropping below the logo.

Breakpoint Optimization

• Adjusted the breakpoint for the mobile menu to trigger earlier—before the layout could break.

• Ensured clean transitions across desktop, tablet, and mobile views.

Header Cleanup

• Removed leftover styles (like grey backgrounds) and extra spacing.

• Standardized spacing for logos, buttons, and secondary branding elements.

⚙️ No Code Edits Needed

• All changes were made using the WordPress Customizer’s Additional CSS field—no direct theme file edits required.

Final Result

The header is now clean, responsive, and consistent across all devices—solving layout breaks, improving user experience, and preserving the custom theme setup.

Issue Overview

A WooCommerce store using Mailchimp noticed new customers weren’t receiving the correct tags—especially the “MEMBER” tag used to unlock gated content and trigger welcome emails. One subscription product was especially affected, despite orders being placed successfully.

The tagging issue created downstream problems with:

• Segment-based automations

• Membership access logic

• Visibility of subscriber types in Mailchimp

Diagnosis & Fix

Check your Mailchimp setup

Make sure the tag (e.g. “MEMBER”) exists in your Mailchimp audience and is tied to an automation or WooCommerce trigger.

Investigate SKU conditions

In this case, Mailchimp tagging was based on product SKUs. The affected product didn’t have its SKU included in the tag logic—so tags weren’t applied when it was purchased.

️ Update SKU-based logic

Edit your automation workflow or plugin rules to include all relevant SKUs. Save and refresh connections between WooCommerce and Mailchimp.

✅ Run a test

Make a test purchase of the affected product. Check the Mailchimp contact record to ensure both the general tag (“MEMBER”) and product-specific tags (e.g., “INSIDER-MONTHLY”) appear.

Backfill missed tags

Use filters or exports to identify subscribers who missed the tag. Add tags manually or run a one-time automated update using purchase history.

Final Outcome

After updating the tagging rules, all new subscribers are now correctly tagged—improving automation flow and ensuring members get the right content and access.

Issue Background:

On a certification form built with Gravity Forms and Gravity Perks’ Nested Forms feature, users could fill out the first set of fields but faced errors or endless loading when trying to submit additional entries.

The form had previously functioned normally, prompting a review of recent changes and potential conflicts with third-party plugins or environment mismatches.

Diagnosis & Key Findings:

• Deactivated potential blockers: reCAPTCHA, WP Rocket, and Imagify were ruled out as causes.

• Validated field setup: No form-level misconfiguration was found.

• Traced issue to GF Google Sheet Connector: The integration had silently failed due to being disconnected—likely triggered by staging environment restrictions.

Resolution Steps:

1. Isolated the broken integration:
   Identified GF Google Sheet Connector as the issue during plugin-by-plugin testing.

2. Reconnected Google account:
   Reauthenticated the plugin using the correct Google credentials and enabled sheet syncing again.

3. Tested with nested entries:
   Ran successful form submissions using the full “Add House” flow to confirm resolution.

4. Planned ahead for production:
   Logged the integration as an environment-sensitive plugin to reconnect prior to launch.

Final Outcome:

After restoring the Google Sheets connection, multi-entry Gravity Forms submissions worked as intended. The issue was contained to the staging environment, allowing the client to move forward confidently with their site launch.

Form not submitting? Not sure which plugin is breaking it?
