Session Overview

Sam reported that location pages had broken hero sections. Two examples given: Leitchfield and Somerset. A full audit of all 57 published location pages was completed April 7, 2026. Twelve pages have broken heroes across four problem categories. One additional page (sam-car-accidents) had a Kadence CSS leak and duplicate FAQ, also fixed this session.

What Was Accomplished

Full Audit (57 pages)

All published location pages (children of ID 30757) were fetched with context=edit and categorized by hero type. Results at /tmp/location_hero_audit.json.

Categories:

• SA_HERO (50 pages): Correct class structure. Most use an img-tag absolute-positioned approach. 5 confirmed working with background-image (Georgetown, Independence, Versailles, Mount-Washington, Ashland).
• KADENCE_COVER (4 pages): Leitchfield (43343), Paris (43348), Newport (43346), Murray (43345). Used Gutenberg cover block + Kadence row layouts. Entire page wrapped in wp:html from April 6 batch, breaking everything. Hero renders as tiny inline image. Page body layout collapsed. Kadence CSS leaks as visible text.
• OLD_INLINE_HERO (2 pages): Somerset (41652) has zero background image. Saint-Matthews (37639) uses old background CSS shorthand.
• UNKNOWN (1 page): Harrodsburg (43340) uses .sal-page template, no hero.
• New pages missing bg images (4 pages): mt-sterling (57952), berea (57951), pikeville (57950), corbin (57949).

sam-car-accidents Fix (ID 7053)

The page had leftover Kadence blocks after the SA template content ended. These blocks had Kadence CSS selectors stored as HTML-encoded > entities, which decoded to visible text inside wp:html. There was also a duplicate RankMath FAQ block below the SA template FAQ.

Fix applied: Removed everything from onward. SA template hero, trust bar, content grid, sidebar, FAQ, and CTA are all intact. Deployed as status=publish. Backup at /tmp/sam_car_backup/7053_*.txt.

WP Rocket

WP Rocket is NOT causing these hero problems. The data-bg lazy-load behavior is expected and correct. The !important inline style approach handles RUCSS. No WP Rocket setting changes required.
