Search Results for 'block'

Greetings team,

I have an unexpected problem with some pages. It appears that the theme blocks have disappeared. I will upload some screenshots:

As you can see, there is only text: https://prnt.sc/ftbgox

You can see here that the theme blocks are missing: https://prnt.sc/ftbgox

Any idea how can I correct this. I did not installed any new plugins and I currently use some basic well known and tested plugins, nothing fancy.

Thanks!

Hi,
I have searched through the forum, but I have not found anything related so, I am asking for help. How can I achieve the colored bulletpoints right before the posts titles on block 9, like they are shown in Gadget Demo?

Thank you

Good ideas for basic security:
a) do not use admin as the superuser login name; always make second name; don’t use the superuser admin name to build pages as it reveals that ‘user’ to hackers;
>> ‘superuser’ for site admin
>> ‘othername’ for content building as admin; not superuser level

b) use plugins like ‘limit login attempts’ – a fantastic free plugin to thwart repeat password guessing, and also shows repeat IPs so you know *where* some kinds of WordPress attacks coming from

c) disable xmlrpc – known attack vector; disable editing of WP files from the WP admin; this is done via functions.php or custom plugin

d) force https – all WP sites should be running https now. SSL certs are now free with ‘Let’s Encrypt’ – so your host should be supporting that!

e) force strong passwords (not ‘bunny72’ but ‘8g932vygSD97j$’); disable password reset functions

f) remove all old-unused plugins, themes no longer used – nulled code can still be used by hackers

g) scan site regularly with securi free site scanner

h) make sure using good host running modern versions of bind, mysql, php, etc. — make sure running php 5.6 and up as older versions are ‘end of life’

i) make sure running WP 4.8 and up (all versions of WP prior to 4.7 make have major security flaws; with over 100,000 sites hacked in 2017 due to running OLD versions!)

j) make sure web host running IPtables and automatic Ip blocking for hack attempts; this stops server side IP hacking attempts — all good hosts are running something like this (we do here)

k) fully implement suggestions from the WordPress documentation (always good to learn to use WP by reading the manual …. I know! Crazy, right?): https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress

l) make regular backups (ironically, I am doing that ‘right now’ on my machine while having first cup of coffee …); this means doing MySQL full dbase backups from your hosting panel; not just the ‘export’ option in WP (which doesn’t always do a good restore job on import). The full dbase backup at hosting level, allows you to ‘go back’ to clean version of site if you get content injection hack

After hack; change all passwords (hosting, FTP, and WP); delete WP, all plugins, themes, check for malicious code in htaccess, random weird php files; reinstall everything for clean copies.

Hope that helps.

If you have a high-profit website, you should also consider paying for a PCI-DSS scanner to check your site monthly, as this reveals vulnerabilities in your hosting, server, and your site (e.g., SecurityMetrics, etc.).

I am having the same issue as others – I updated Visual Composer, and all of the custom block sections are no longer there. The short code is present on the back-end editor, but the blocks do not render. I need these custom blocks as they are pervasive on the site.

Please advise on how to fix.

Hi, I’m currently looking to move the “review overview” block to the top, before the content.
Any method to do this? I can’t find any options to do this in the theme settings menu.

Thanks.

Upgraded from 7.4 to 8.
Tried out two of the demos, but what am i missing? I watched the video, read the docs, but all it changed (visually at least) was colours, menus and fonts. how do i get the actual page layouts complete with all the blocks used in the demo? No additional pages have been created and it hasn’t applied any of that layout to my own pages, just made them corrupt and look ridiculous.

Uninstalling hasn’t worked at all well, it is all over the shop and even after a few hours tweaking it still looks like an amateurish development of a freeby theme.

I’ve had to put it in maintenance mode so hoping for some quick answers.

All the Block elements have disappeared from my Page. They no longer show up in the Visual Composer Elements either.
This sucks as parts of the Home Page are no longer visible and my client is not going to be pleased.

Does anyone know what happened?

Nothing shows up when I edit a newly created page. The option to “ADD ELEMENT” appears on the left side. The right side is blank. Nothing happens when I add a block.

Came across a post that required to update the php.ini

WTF? Just bought this and I have to hack wordpress to make it work?

I just purchased the newspaper theme and I’m a bit lost as to how I import existing templates for my pages.

I installed one of the demos (without content, since I have hundreds of posts already)

Now when I create a new page (to start building a homepage for example), I get the tagdiv builder by default, which only allows me to insert elements and build the page from scratch block by block.

I can’t see where I import page templates, can you please assist?

Hi all,
I am having problems with Newspaper8. Not sure if others experienced the same problem first up when installing. I seem to now be missing all the “Block” elements that you can choose to build a page.

Any ideas on what could be the issue?

Hello,

Visual composer is now codes instead of blocks in classic mode since we moved from http to https. How can this be fixed?

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

When I place the adsense text link unit on content, this theme doesn’t display the ad properly. Because same code is working fine on my other site (newspaper theme) properly. Issue is that text of ad is srinking in blocks as well showing only 2 boxes on desktop and only 1 one mobile view.
