@Marija1m1 …

See the threads on page speed. Follow Radu’s recommendations for how he got the demo theme to be 90+.

REF: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ .

To save you having to read Everything on the forum:

Fonts can’t be optimized on your side or by the theme, as they live on Google’s website. Digg buttons are loading from Digg’s website. No way to optimize that. I don’t think sharedaddy is part of theme. You either have to load the font stuff locally and optimize CSS since Google “dings” their own stuff in PageSpeed (!) or switch to web-safe fonts (see my and other comments above on this topic).

For styles, you need to either minify if you don’t intend to modify for your site; or use a WP minify plugin. See my link to the site I use to minify my css and js code.

WP by default loads elements in the head and “enqueues” them to render the page. All WP sites will have a “render blocking code” in head error. For javascript (.js files) You would need to try the optimization plugin included with theme, or a WP plugin which moves the js to footer “elegantly.”

Hope that helped. 87 is a great starting point and that means you’re in the “zone of safety” as I like to call it. 85 or below is “bad” 87-89 is okay. 90+ is rockin’. 😉

Hi I have 87/100 and I get these recommendations:
Suggestions Summary
Consider Fixing:
Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content
Your page has 2 blocking script resources and 9 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.
None of the above-the-fold content on your page could be rendered without waiting for the following resources to load. Try to defer or asynchronously load blocking resources, or inline the critical portions of those resources directly in the HTML.

Remove render-blocking JavaScript:

any help or?

I think WP over-rides that as it’s not semantically correct to have <h2> tags inside of a <p> tag. So, a “block level” element like a sentence generally is itself either a <p> or <h> level element, based on my own experience (meaning a “headline” doesn’t go inside of another block level element – you can’t have an <h2> inside an <h1> or a <p> inside a <h2> technically.)

<h2>BLOCK <h3 (NO!)>OF</h3> TEXT</h2>
<p>Block of text</p>

Likely you have to do that with a span.

So you might have

<h2>My headline here <span class="h2like">larger</span> is from <span class="h2like">Mars</span>, not Venus</h2>

Try making a CSS span for the size change inside a block level element. I had to do this for a flush right “about this book serial” element, since you can’t have a <div> inside a <p> either. <span> is the right way to do stuff inside other stuff with CSS3/HTML5 now.

Hi guys,

I don’t want to hussle you but I still need to know if you’re planning short term to fix the filter problem (by tag and category) with the custom post types in Events Manager plugin in your blocks? If not I have to change theme but I really don’t want to, because everything else fits for me, theme is absolutely great and your support is amazing.

Please …

Hi, Radu
My pleasure to be helpful. I’m not showing up here as a pest, but I do check in just to make sure there isn’t a report of something gone terribly wrong before I update to new version. And, since I live for this stuff every day of the week, and have spent hundreds of hours dealing with WP issues, server issues and optimization this year — I often have two cents to share. 🙂

For the panel, I was actually impressed how you got all those options into the WP built-in panel system. I’ve had tons of issues with other “frameworks” where the framework won’t update, then then the panel breaks, and then the panel isn’t updated, then the panel doesn’t work, etc.

Based on your work so far I have a very high level of “trust” that you’ll do a custom panel the “right way” that won’t break things, or corrupt the DB, or require some arcane framework incompatible with the top 10 plugins.

BTW: we’re moving to a new dedicated server starting on the 20th (hardware being deployed now), so any IP blocks we have in place at the moment will be reset entirely, so if you can’t reach my site, you will be once the migration is completed fully. Retiring our 2008/9 server for more modern hardware.

Keep up the great work.

Hi,

I have the same issue,

I am trying to use 3 adsense blocks,

One after 0 paragraph, 1 at the end of the article and one on the sidebar

I used buffy for the ads in the end of the article,

However I am getting blank space for the ads in the right bar (the two rest of the ads are shown)

What should I do?

I can show 3 adsense blocks only if I use two side banners and one in text, however I want to use it in 1 sidebar and to in text,

How can I fix it?

THanks

Radu
site works fine. Some parts of world have been blocked due to massive hack attempts, port scanning, forum spam, and we have dedicated server running CSF and portflood protection, etc. Sadly, being in the U.S. and running various news portals, our servers are common targets for attacks from China, Russia, Eukraine, Arab states, Columbia, Viet Nam, North Korea, Argentina, etc. We’ve had to take a higher level of “autoblock” for some ISPs due to massive system abuse which the ISPs won’t address and just let it go on. If you want to email me from my account, I can check your IP (don’t post your IP here obviously) to see if it’s on the block list (which ideally we’d like you to see what we’re doing with your theme!). As you know often if we get 20 attacks from one range, we block that entire range, but might block a friend along with the foe. A DDoS was knocking out our SMTP and FTP last month, hence higher sensitivity on the firewall.

Hi Radu,
Thank you for the instructions, they are helpful.

I have actually figured that one out and removed the menu.

The problem was I had a webdesigner and I selected he Newspaper template and he was supposed to put it on my established site and do a migration to a new url.

Unfortunately that guy got to busy and quit on me and I was stuck trying to do it all by myself.

I have now gotten my menu back but there is still one problem with my original theme
and the header upload in wordpress.

If I upload a new header (same size, supported format) I am getting now a message like this:

Warning: Division by zero in /home/freestu/public_html/wp-admin/custom-header.php on line 841

Warning: imagecreatetruecolor() [function.imagecreatetruecolor]: Invalid image dimensions in /home/freestu/public_html/wp-includes/media.php on line 1288

Warning: imageantialias() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/freestu/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-image-editor-gd.php on line 256

Warning: imagecopyresampled() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/freestu/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-image-editor-gd.php on line 258

Image could not be processed. Please go back and try again

I am not sure if this relates to the demo install or any of the plugins that came with thenewspaper and that I had installed.

I guess the only way to find out is to go back and restore my site from last’s backup?

Thanks

Nevermind, works now! 🙂 Thank you.

Thank you,

it helped activating these features to the categories but I can’t see that line for homepage blocks? Do you think it would work if I just copy those lines to the shortcode block widget file?

Hello Radu,

I think you misunderstood me. I want to have the comment icons displayed on those blocks as well: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-4-2/

http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-2/
-> here only the bigger pictures have the comment status icon.

http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1-2/
->the right side doesn’t have the comment status as well.

As I said, people are commenting more when they see there is some active discussion going on.
