Search Results for 'block'

Hello Alin,

I only now began to work on this.

Alas, I cannot find a file named td_block.php in our folder structure. In your screencast it is located in a folder named wp_booster, but there is no such folder on our server, and I don’t find the php file in any of our folders.

Hi,

you can add the following to the file /wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/modules/module_modifier/td_module_blog.php in line 200:


//do not show the featured image on post of these categories
if (in_category('SLUG-OF-CATEGORY')) {
return;
}


like this:

-full reference: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/in_category
-this does not hide thumbs in the blocks or categories listings, it hides the featd image when viewing the post itself
-this will be gone after a theme update, remember to keep tabs on things like that

hope this helps, cheers.

Some sites can be blocked by FB’s API for doing “too many stats checking” — some of the junk “test my site for free” services out there. And FB often gets overloaded so stats being pulled via their API don’t always show the correct info. If you got to your FB page and it says 993 followers/likes… then that is what you have.

Obviously the plugin included with theme is pretty accurate, but it depends on whether the API is working on the other side or not.

Upshot – if the free testing sites can’t show accurate stats, then don’t use them 😉

as I can hide blocks in desktop, and display on the phone with CSS?

Ok. Fixed it.

What had happened was when I asked how to prevent the logo from loading in the middle first then loads to the left I was told to edit the css file

Also you have to change the css code in style.css file as the default style is loading first and because of the cascading property of the css style appears the delay you have noticed. So try to remove this code – http://screencast.com/t/77pQNXhaN then clear cache and see if it works.
Please note that this change will affect also other headers so if you change the header style revert this change.

I didn’t want to change the original file so I copied the style.css over to the theme folder and made the change. What would be the correct way of changing this without changing the original file?

For basic minification of the CSS and possibly main js files, see my optimization guide.

Be aware that there is really no 100% way to fully optimize loading the above the fold content with any commercial theme like this one — this is because there are many options and functions being loaded in order to render the page at all, and to provide folks to create totally different designs.

Many articles have been written online about getting a perfect score with PageSpeed and WordPress and that requires custom building a theme from scratch and setting up regions where CSS and js are loaded conditionally and in series based on the content sections. Very complex and outside the scope of commercial themes.

Limiting things like mega menus can help, making sure any external resources load via async (we used to use addthis for social buttons on our sites and had to ‘hack’ that to add async loading of their js, because they were too stupid to do it with one line of code in their WP plugin).

Often to get the best “real world” score for your site, you need to disable any/all things which load externally (ads, etc.) and then test that. Optimize. Then switch on external things, optimize “if possible” and then realize the “real score” doesn’t count the Google ads stuff.

You can’t control caching of external elements (time to live), or minification of external resources. With Google fonts you can load the CSS locally in your own style sheet, then simply “draw” the fonts from their CDN. Now that “Roboto” is open source, one could in theory even load that font off your own server and bypass Google entirely. Or just use “web safe” fonts, to eliminate any external font loading.

For the above the fold render blocking blah blah. If your mobile score is above 85 you’re fine; if your desktop is above 90 you’re fine. But there is a notable “tuning” process to this, and again — it’s almost impossible to eliminate the “render blocking” or “above the fold stuff” entirely with *any* commercial theme.

Not sure any of that helps… just some feedback on my own suffering using commercial WordPress themes, and also building my own bootstrap 2 templates which are running our main business portal (using .shtml and custom page builder CMS; not WP).

1) for Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content: like mentioned, didn’t know where to put them so i reverted to the original file. please let me know where to put both, css and js.

2) for cache i’m already using w3 total cache, should i change to WP Super Cache?

3) any plugin to recommend for minify?

4) Prioritize visible content

Your page requires additional network round trips to render the above-the-fold content. For best performance, reduce the amount of HTML needed to render above-the-fold content.

The entire HTML response was not sufficient to render the above-the-fold content. This usually indicates that additional resources, loaded after HTML parsing, were required to render above-the-fold content. Prioritize visible content that is needed for rendering above-the-fold by including it directly in the HTML response.

What can i do for this?
