I’m seeking a skilled web developer to fix multiple issues on my Blogger Blogspot site, which has over 2,900 pages and uses Disqus for comments. The site has mixed content errors from HTTP links (including Disqus scripts and a theme attribution link) causing comments to fail in most browsers (works in Firefox PC with security disabled and one mobile browser via a direct Disqus forum link), incorrect comment counts on all mobile browsers, new pages not appearing in the Disqus forum until manually commented, and missing mobile functionality (background, comment access, navigation) due to a deleted template line. Additionally, a stats tracking widget needs an HTTPS update, and a GoDaddy domain redirect is broken. The goal is to make the site fully secure, restore mobile functionality, and preserve 11+ years of Disqus comments without restoring the theme backup (to avoid gadget loss). All work must use delegated access—no full account passwords. I’ll share the site URL, Disqus shortname, and domain privately after vetting proposals. Tasks and Deliverables: Restore Full Mobile Functionality: Review my original theme backup (HTML file) without restoring it to identify changes from a deleted template line (closing one section and opening a header section at line 2417). Restore the mobile background, ensure Disqus comment access, correct comment counts (currently zero on all mobile browsers), and verify navigation (for example, page links). Deliverable: Full mobile functionality, including background and comments, in all major mobile browsers (for example, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Dolphin). Fix Disqus Mixed Content Errors: Update the Disqus widget in Theme Edit HTML to use HTTPS (Disqus embed script) instead of HTTP (blogger item and index scripts). Add a Disqus thread placeholder to ensure comments load in all major browsers (desktop and mobile, including Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, and common mobile browsers). Fix new pages not appearing in the Disqus forum until a manual comment is posted. Deliverable: Disqus comments load securely in all browsers; new pages appear in the forum automatically. Correct Mobile Comment Counts: Add Disqus count script and a comment count span near post timestamps to show correct counts on all mobile browsers. Deliverable: Accurate comment counts in mobile browsers. Generate Disqus URL Mapper CSV (if needed): If comments don’t load, create a CSV mapping HTTP to HTTPS URLs for 2,936 pages using the site’s sitemap (provided privately). I will upload the CSV. Deliverable: CSV file ready for upload, preserving all Disqus threads. Update Stats Tracker to HTTPS: Modify the stats tracking widget to use HTTPS instead of HTTP. Deliverable: Tracking without mixed content errors. Audit and Fix HTTP Links: Identify all HTTP links in the template (for example, theme attribution, other residual links) causing mixed content errors and convert to HTTPS or remove. Deliverable: No HTTP links in the template, eliminating mixed content errors. Fix GoDaddy Domain Redirect: Resolve the failed redirect for my GoDaddy domain to point to the Blogspot site (301, Forward only). Check for conflicting services, unlock DNS records (may need GoDaddy support coordination). Alternative: Set up a third-party redirect service if GoDaddy fails. Deliverable: Functional redirect to the Blogspot site. Skills Required: Blogspot/Blogger template editing HTML, CSS, JavaScript Disqus integration and URL Mapper DNS management (GoDaddy) HTTPS migration Basic scripting (for example, Python for CSV generation) Security and Access: No Passwords: Use delegated access: Blogger: I’ll invite you as an Admin (Settings, Permissions). Disqus: I’ll upload the CSV; you generate it from the sitemap. Stats Tracker: I’ll grant Edit access or paste your code. GoDaddy: I’ll provide Manage DNS and Hosting delegate access. Communicate via Upwork messaging. Two-factor authentication enabled on all accounts. How We Work: Communication: Clear, prompt updates via Upwork messaging. I’ll respond within 24 hours and expect the same. Testing: I’ll test deliverables in all major browsers, providing feedback within 1–2 days. Milestones: $50: Fix mobile functionality (background, comments, counts). $100: Fix Disqus HTTPS and new page threads. $50: Update stats tracker, audit HTTP links, fix GoDaddy redirect. Assets: I’ll provide the sitemap, Layout screenshots, current template code, and original template HTML file privately. Budget and Timeline: Budget: $200 (fixed price). Open to proposals if additional hours are justified (for example, GoDaddy delays). Timeline: 3–5 days, starting ASAP. Freelancer Expectations: Top Rated on Upwork (4.8+ stars, 50+ reviews). Experience with Blogspot HTTPS migrations, Disqus, and DNS. Provide examples of similar fixes (for example, Blogspot templates, Disqus integrations). Detail your approach to delegated access, mobile fixes, and CSV generation. Start with the mobile functionality fix to build trust. Additional Notes: The site must remain live with no comment loss. I have blog and theme backups, Layout screenshots, and the sitemap. Test Disqus counts, new page threads in the forum, and full mobile functionality. I’ll coordinate GoDaddy support if needed. Please propose your approach, estimated hours (if exceeding 5–10), and confirm you can work with delegated access. I’ll share the site URL, Disqus shortname, and details privately after reviewing proposals. Excited to make my site secure and fully functional!
