Hello!
I recently installed Newspaper theme. I changed the colors of different elements.
However you can still see the old colors when loading a page, like if it was loading the original theme first, then my custom colors 1 second later. It does it not only with colors but with fonts.
I uploaded a short video of the problem on dropbox. You can see easily that my yellow main menu becomes blue for a moment.
How can I allow my main colors to load directly and avoid this non-professional blink during loading?
Thanks in advance!
Hello Corsicaman,
I suppose that you are referring to the appearance of a flash/time loading when you enter on your website, regarding on your loading font, right? Firstly is loaded a default font and then will appear your custom font, right? This behavior appears when you have additional customization through custom CSS code. Please notice that the CSS are working in cascade and the first time will take the code from style.css that is set it by default and then the theme will take the custom code that you have changed from Theme panel and practically this flash is generated by this cause. As a workaround, you have to check your style.css and try to add directly in this file your desired custom code. So, if your problem is still there, please try to revert the theme to the default settings, without any customizations and let us know how it goes. Also, you can try to make a new fresh install from scratch with the latest version of the theme and check the results. Also, please make sure every time you cleared caches. Noticed that the only files where you will have to edit are style.css. If you want to make deeper changes in this regard, you should check the td_config.php core files and from here you should change the default theme fonts which are Open Sans and Roboto with your desired one, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/YXUNUqxE.
If you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for the message!
I think I found the source of the problem. For anyone having the same issue:
– It only happens when you add custom code in the theme panel and reload your page directly after.
– Wait a few minutes and the website will behave correctly, loading your real theme only.
– If you want to live-test your website like me, you can just ignore the “flash”, your real theme will load a few seconds later.
Dear Catalin,
Can you please tell me that WHY we need to edit the style.css or do extra edits on files, etc, or hire someone to do that as you suppose?
It is very disappointing that I paid for your theme, and this is not mentioning on the Envato Theme Forest buying process screen.
You have to declare this and what is stupid that you already say that you are one of the best themes in the market BUT I HATE THIS flash/loading problem with custom font, menus, widths etc first and than original BOUGHT theme’s items loads after a sec.
You have to solve this problem in order to offer us to edit loads of things. I never saw this situation on any other theme sellers.
If you insist that you are one of the best, you have to solve this with the updates.
If I install for example City Demo, than you have to put what is needed on the style css or whatever. Your original demos already has this flash sec problem even I dont edit anything in theme panel, dont have any code on the CSS part etc.
Thanks
Please make sure that you do not have a plugin conflict ( or some custom code ) that caused this problem, please deactivate ALL plugins except tagDiv Composer, also if you are using child theme or cache plugin, deactivate them, clear all cache and try again.
If the problem persist, please provide me a link where I can check this problem.
Thank you for your understanding!
