Session Overview

Sam asked to verify the Lexington car accident page (/lexington/) deployment, confirm it passed firm-briefing and website-rules standards, and log the deployment. Then, in a follow-up, Sam asked for a full consistency review of SITE-STATE.md against the latest firm-briefing and website-rules skills. The session produced a complete rendering fix for the Lexington page (which had broken due to Kadence CSS conflicts), a 55-point QA checklist pass, a deployment log pushed to GitHub, and a detailed list of 15 inconsistencies between the three governing documents.


Part 1: Lexington Page Rendering Fix and Final QA

The Lexington page (WP ID 6911) had been deployed in a prior session but was visually broken due to Kadence theme CSS conflicts. This session identified and fixed four root causes:

  1. Kadence hero override: Kadence overrode .sa-hero position: relative and overflow: hidden, causing the hero overlay to stretch 10,459px and cover the entire page. Fixed with inline styles on hero, overlay, and img elements.
  2. CSS minification stripping grid: WordPress CSS minification stripped display: grid from .sa-content-grid. Fixed with a second <style> block using .sa-page-wrapper .sa-content-grid selector with !important.
  3. wpautop stray tags: WordPress wpautop injected stray <p> tags into the grid container, pushing main/aside into wrong columns. Fixed by removing whitespace between the grid div and its children, plus adding explicit grid-column/grid-row rules.
  4. Inline styles blocking responsive: Inline !important grid styles blocked mobile responsive overrides. Fixed by moving grid/sidebar positioning to a <style> block (not inline) with desktop and mobile @media rules.

Kadence page meta updated to match working car-accidents page: _kad_post_layout: fullwidth, with content style, transparent, title, and vertical padding all emptied.
