Comments can easily build up on a WordPress site, especially if you don’t have any anti-spam measures in place. It seems easy enough to get rid of them all, there are tons of plugins for this, but there are some nuances you should be aware of to make sure you’re deleting the right information, and doing a thorough job.
Let’s look at how to clean up this aspect of your WordPress site.
In previous versions of WordPress you could justify text easily with a button. But, the Justify button was removed from the WordPress classic editor and never included in Gutenberg. There’s good reason for this. Justified text can be harder to read in many circumstances, so generally speaking, you should use it sparingly.
On some websites you may see an arrow in the bottom left or right corner. When you click this, it jumps you back up to the top of the page with one click. This is helpful on pages with long form content, or infinite scroll, so that you don’t have to manually scroll back to the top of the page.
The “destination folder already exists” message will show up in your WordPress dashboard if you try to install a theme or a plugin that already exists on the server.

But, in brief, when you install a plugin or theme, a folder on your server is created.
So if you try to upload the same plugin or theme again, there will already be a folder with the same name, and that creates a conflict – you can’t have more than 1 folder in the same location with the same name.
It’s a good practice to remove unused themes so that you don’t have to maintain them with updates for security purposes.
If a theme is installed on your site, it means all the files still exist on your server. That means the code could still be exploited, even if the theme isn’t active. So you either have to maintain the updates for the theme, or you should just remove it.
If you write long tutorials and guides, a table of contents can help your readers more easily navigate, get a sense of the content that’s coming, and find what they are looking for.
Here are a couple of plugins I like for adding a table of contents to posts.
