hmmmm... can you disable the SG Optimizer ( and any other cache plugins ).
Go to Settings > GenerateBlocks and select the External File and click Regenerate CSS.
Leave the cache plugins disabled and let me know so i can see whats going on.

Thanks, David! Did all of that, it's ready for you to take a look. Thanks!

I am going to pass this one to Tom if thats ok as i cannot see why the CSS files are not being enqueued on those pages.

Strange indeed. I may need to get into the files to add some error_log() functions to see where the point of failure is. Do you have a staging site you can provide sFTP details for?

Hey Tom, looking forward to any insight you have, I can't seem to crack this one! Working on setting up staging/sFTP, learning as I go, will share ASAP :)

Tom, details included below.

Hi there,

From what I can see, the core WordPress content parsing is broken on your site.

For example, check out the HTML of this latest post: https://www.screencast.com/t/J7O8btZLH8F

All of those <wp:xx> comments shouldn't be in there - WordPress takes them out on the front-end.

When I go to edit that post, it's using the Classic Editor. Were these posts originally in the block editor and then converted to classic maybe?

Hmmm... the imported posts were in the Classic Editor when I exported them from the old site and imported them to the new site.

Yet this post was created directly on the new site and is still having the footer formatting issue: https://mammothrealestateblog.com/2021/04/mammoth-real-estate-sales-report-april-11-2021.html Even after I converted it to the block editor.

Is this something I should try to hire a developer to deal with? I'm assuming it goes beyond being a GP issue? It's definitely beyond me, ha.

Thanks!

That post still has all of the broken HTML comments in it. It's been converted to the block editor 100%? No longer using the Classic Editor with it?

I would assume that using the block editor would resolve any broken comments.

If not, you could hire someone to clean this up. You could also do it yourself in the "Text" tab by removing all HTML comments which look like this: https://www.screencast.com/t/MN1TZHQFui

<!-- I'm an HTML comment -->

Ahhh brilliant, I can definitely take care of that. I've removed all those comments from a couple posts and/or recreated them in the block editor and now the footer is showing up perfectly. Thanks so much for solving that!

When I pull up a post in Classic Editor and then click Switch to Block Editor, it shows up with a gray bar that says Classic in the top of the post. I click on Convert to Blocks but nothing seems to happen, and it's not until I remove all the HTML comments or re-create the post block by block that that Convert to Blocks notice goes away. Any tips for that? Thanks again!

The "Convert to Blocks" option should definitely work. Do those classic editor posts have all of the broken HTML comments in them? If so, those could be preventing that option (convert to blocks) from working.

Glad I could help! :)
