== W3 Total cache has been disabled ==
Currently on wikimedia.it wordpress website DO NOT RUN "W3 Total Cache" plugin as it did until this morning.
```PHP Fatal error: ob_start(): Cannot use output buffering in output buffering display handlers in /var/www/wmi/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/Util_WpFile.php on line 298```
I disabled the plugin to make the website works.
It need further investigation.
== 6.1 Too many editor are installed. ==
Currently on wikimedia.it wordpress website are intalled and used the following editors:
- Default "Gutenberg" default wordpress editor
- BE Editor
- Elementor
Those editors are not fully compatible and interoperable. That means that, choosing a wrong editor, there is a high risk to broke contents and to create not uniform contents.
== 6.2 Fragmented template elements and styles ==
Due to wordpress architecture and stratification of manutentive ad evolutive actions, currently styles are spread in:
- WMI wordpress theme
- Inline wordpress styles
- Editors configurations (Elementor, BE)
- Plugins configurations (Smart Slider)
This configuration makes hard to maintain end act on global styles, keeping a global aesthetic identity
== 6.3 The Plugin "Wiki Embed" - https://it.wordpress.org/plugins/wiki-embed/ - is old and no longer mantenined (9 years from the last update) ==
