Hi there,

I use the Newspaper theme and have been trying to reduce the size of my site unsuccessfully. It is 2.3mb currently, which is very large compared to before when it was under 1mb. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Here is a link: istudenthub.com.

Plus, as you will find, when I activate the top menu, it automatically uses the latest articles as a slider. How do I also resolve it?

Hi,

I believe you have added the menus the wrong way, the top menu looks like in your case it’s where the header menu should be and the header menu it’s at the top where the top menu should be.
Switch the menus between them, should look better afterwards, also note that if you wanted to have the menus like this the top menu doesn’t support the menu as it is now.

Regarding the size of your site, check your site using PageSpeed Insights and note how you can optimize your site.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

You have to do this: http://screencast.com/t/90Wqc8zL
Go to appearance > menus then manage locations, like this: http://screencast.com/t/qFgoICb0 then http://screencast.com/t/1Ck8k659D
