Hey there,
I’m trying to use the tour section to make a book directory.
Unfortunately it doesn’t display right at all (see here: http://tinypic.com/r/3133nu1/8).
Of course I want the tabs under each other on the left side of the whole column with its content. Is this not the way its set up ?
What is wrong and what can I do?
Or what other way would there be to do this?
My code is this:
[vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][vc_tour][vc_tab title="Jeff Chang" tab_id="1403338503-1-24"][vc_column_text]
<b>Can’t Stop Won’t Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation</b>

Pages & Content: 546 pages of academic reading without imagery
Description: The book is more about the cultural resonance of hip hop culture than the musical productions of the genre. Chang did a lot of research for this book so for sure anybody can learn something about the cultural political significance of this movement, that goes deeper than its shining surface.

Likely issue with the cloud.
I’ve had a ton of issues with selected things on my Amazon CDN, where 20% of the time the custom font (FontAwesome) won’t load properly. Finally gave up and we load FA4 off our own server. Doubtful it’s the theme. More likely in IE11/Win7, than anything else.
Might be the “lazy load” images code. I know we had issue with lazy loading images for “as page loads” and had to change to “after page loads.” But that’s outside my ability to help you on, as I think there is some optimization code in the TagDiv Booster which does some image lazy loading. But just some feedback, might not be helpful.

glad all my little rantings are helping somebody 🙂
“fonts and FOUT” Subject is top of mind for me at the moment as I’ve been toying with the difference between loading Open Sans off the Amazon CDN (where was able to compress the stylesheet more than the Google version is, for those who’ve run into that item on GTMetrix for scoring; meaning I basically am loading a minified and optimized version of the Open Sans font stack off the Amazon CDN for better performance/rating), vs just loading from Google directly. I get FOUT on my page right now with the CDN, and sometimes IE won’t load Font Awesome off the CDN at all (even with proper CORS rules) – whole ‘nother topic of pain there. Gave up and am loading Font Awesome 4x off our own server since IE 11 just randomly doesn’t load it and then all my icons are blank spots.
Anyway… “right now” if I go to a test page for site redesign (NOT using WordPress btw), I see moment of “italic” font then regular font. IE will load the italic font first for some reason so I see FOUT from italic to normal font. Stupid stuff (damn IE!!!).
I’m actually hoping to use the Google font CDN, and then the upcoming stable version of mod_pagespeed has a nifty feature where it will inline only the needed CSS for the browser being used.
So, for example this page …
http://www.send2press.com/clients/testimonials_2008-2012.shtml
I see a FOUT in IE11 on Win7/64 with a 32GB RAM machine on a 85mbps FIOS fibre connection. Page loading on dedicated server in Class A datacenter (Softlayer/IBM) with common elements like logo and main CSS coming off the CDN. Blah blah. Meaning, it’s not loading off anything with slow load times.
Starting to just “live with it.” Annoying as hell, though.
(argh)
Browser “should” cache the CSS on second page view. I have my cache in browser set to clear on close so I can re-suffer the view of a first time visitor EVERY time. Hence the annoyance can really annoying. Google “FOUT” to see the couple of years of whining by others, if one cares to. 😉
@Octavian
nice!!
I’ve been sidetracked the past week trying to sort out the random issues with Amazon’s CDN where randomly the font awesome CSS won’t load in IE11 or Firefox on Windows, leaving unstyled elements on our business site; and now the background for one sub-head divider won’t load the background image when using either ../assets/img/filename.gif or the full explicit URL in style sheet. Makes no sense. Went back to loading the FA2 fonts from our own server. Sigh. (This applies to our business site, not the magazine sites; the business site doesn’t use WP for main content, so a bit more flexible; pages are static to begin with so full page caching not needed, obviously.)
As to the WordPress stuff… we’re not using a true “page cache” yet, just the mod_pagespeed caching of page “elements” and not yet using a CDN for the CSS/JS. But this page is not bad; testing a typical article page sans a YouTube video or the AdSense elements but with AddThis in place to see how at least one “pagespeed stumbler” impacts ratings.
http://gtmetrix.com/reports/ga-ga.com/IyjAjIea
GPS: 97 (“A”) / YSLOW 90 (“A”)
Page load time: 1.29s
Total page size: 425KB
Total number of requests: 41
So, 1.29 seconds without page cache or CDN is pretty much not bad as starting point for us, which I could live with before the “next level.”
I’m not yet doing anything further until the new version of the theme drops from Radu’s magic labs.
Apparently for our WP sites, we’ll likely end up using “Varnish” on the server, to manage static pages locally, in front of mod_pagespeed, which peeps tell me is “how it’s done.” That is what is going to get the pages loading in the sub-second range. I may retry the caching plugins for WP to save local copies as I think mod_pagespeed can rewrite the pre-cache or post-cache copy, but still unclear on that. Not sure what Varnish will do to our ecom system or other stuff, so having enough fun with one thing before suffering another.
Great job on the speed!!! 🙂 YOWZZA!
Thanks for your reply. I tried that – and was hopeful, but for some reason, I think the theme is rendering a risidual code from my last theme and making it believe that more than 3 advertisements on a page. I deleted all my old widgets containing code, but not sure what else to do. I ended up putting Amazon codes instead and that worked.
Thanks
w3C cache does implement many of the tricks for optimizing your site. Note you can also do some of that yourself using your htaccess file and make sure you optimize the heck out of your featured images (mine are about 16-24kb max for 700×406). There are quite a few great articles out there on implementing some of the W3C stuff without using the plugin, if you only want to test bits of that. Also setting up an Amazon CDN (S3+cloudfront) and hosting your JS/CSS and fonts there will also speed up your site. You can’t entirely rely on the “theme” to manage your site optimization, as a bunch of that is related to hosting, optimization of images, and minimizing using plugins and fancy jetpack stuff (basically anything that calls out to another site slows yours …). Putting more than two ads on the page from AdSense really slows it down, using anything connected to facebook or twitter “on the page” slows it down. Etc.
