I've offered to help my wife's company with their website.
Main website is Wordpress, runs fine. This is a side website offering specialist products and it's on a Joomla platform.
The developer built it, gave them a Joomla book and left them to it. Then, 4 months later announced she was leaving the industry. The site looks good but underneath...wow
Everything is in a span tags, so <span><a href...><span>text</span></a></span>
the code editor doesn't save or show any formatting.
Urls use different formatting randomly.
You can't enter br tags, it just removes them. If you add a new line it adds in a blank <p> and even if you use shift+enter to move down a line without using a <p> it does show a <br> tag but insisde the paragraph before.
an hour I've been using it, I hate it. Is it really this bad or is it just badly setup? I know it's been around a fair few years now so it can't be completely terrible but I'm thinking of rebuilding it in WP or bootstrap.
Edit:
New issues..
Can't update, throws an infinite loop error, google brings up a fix I can try.
Uploading a pdf that is 4.5mb in size, choose file, max size says 10mb, start upload....this file is too large to upload...
now I need to mess around trying to change upload_max_filesize which I don't think I've got access too cry
