Hi there,
Probably something you’ve all answered a million times, but I have been experimenting with the W3 Cache plugin to optimise my site. After checking this forum I have (I think) returned to only enabling the “Page Cache” option on the plugin.
However, when you go to my site ( http://pie-magazine.net ) you’ll notice that the search is unresponsive.
Is there something I’ve missed?
Many thanks
Hi,
Thanks Christopher!
@gmshossain
Sorry for the delay!
Please deactivate all plugins, including CDN and check if the issue is still there to make sure this is not happening due to a plugin, also empty browser/server cache.
Make sure you clear cache then deactivate CDN.
If this doesn’t help, please let me know and provide a link to your site also.
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Hi,
First of all please deactivate all plugins except those that the theme requires and check again, to make sure that if this issue has nothing to do with some plugin conflict.
Please make sure you that you updated the VC composer plugin also and install it like this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
Also please make sure if you use CDN (cloudflare) or similar please clear the cache.
If nothing helps, please make a backup of your current theme installation and re-updated the theme like this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/
Please let me know if nothing helps.
Thanks
SOLVED!
..just disabling the Minify cache was enough.
Thank you very much for your quick support.
Yes, it’s useful to read the documentation which outlines bow to use W3cache with this theme, if you didn’t already review the thin how-to info:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/w3-total-cache-configuration/
It definitely does work; a large number of us use it 🙂
The most common reason I’ve heard for the result you’re describing is that you have minifying CSS and/or JS turned on in W3 Total Cache. Not all themes play well with minifying.
Demanding support won’t help. Sometimes folks need to second guess what you’re asking, or research past answers. Or, nobody else has had the issue, and so it might be local problem.
Two things I’ve seen, which may not apply to your case
1) javascript caching corrupt in your web browser; try clearing cache for browser
2) make sure you have enough memory allocated to PHP/etc., which ideally should be 128MB and not the default 16MB on some cheap hosting companies
3) make sure no automatic updates run on your install, as that can crash your admin sessions if something being updated in background
4) 404 error implies “site went away” which is common with either PHP or MySQL being overloaded; check with your server ERROR LOGS as this will TELL YOU what caused the error.
Hope that helps. Perhaps not.
Hi,
If you use CDN (cloudflare) or similar please clear the cache.
Should solve this.
Thanks
Hello,
After activating the W3 Total Cache plugin,
the mobile version of the site stopped working properly.
The menu button did nothing (just redirected to mywebsite.com/# instead of opening the mobile menu on the left. And the search button also did not work and simply redirected to mywebsite.com/# instead of opening the text field for search.
I have the latest 4.2.2 Newspaper.
Please try to fix this.
W3 Total Cache is the highest rated and most complete WordPress performance plugin. All themes must work with it. If Newspaper doesn’t not work with it, I would have to let it go and start using a different theme.
Thanks,
Jan
The exact same result? Even if the above doesn’t parse the tabs as it should, it would at least stop echoing the comments. If it’s the exact same make sure you saved the file and cleared your browser cache / cache plugin if you use one.
Yes, but I told you that I have uninstalled w3 total cache, but the speed booster still not working
Hi Ecofame,
Quick clarifications:
1. It shouldn’t make a difference between the child and parent themes.
2. A CDN is a content delivery network, used to serve your site to people faster. Don’t worry — if you don’t know what it is, you’re probably not using one 😉
3. The caching plugin is actually what would have prevented you from seeing the changes, and then you would have had to clear its cache. You can deactivate it for now (although they’re often helpful, it’s not the problem or the solution at the moment).
Now, on to business.
Can you explain which whitespace you want to remove on your site? There are a lot of options. The CSS that Lucian and I gave you got rid of white space under each row of articles, because that’s what the first people in this thread were asking for, and I can see the difference on your site now.
But I assume there’s more that you want to remove. Maybe you can point out the whitespaces you want to remove on this screenshot of your site?
unfortunately if you are referring to the minify js settings from the W3 Total Cache plugin, this is still not working when I disable it. Any other thoughts?
Minifying is reducing file size by removing unnecessary data (e.g. line breaks). Caching / minifying / performance / speed plugins usually do it. The problem is that it can break up the flow of parsing the CSS file (if I understand it right).
Support has said in other threads that minifying CSS through plugins like W3 Total Cache won’t work (and I’ve seen it have the white screen effect). A CDN might also be minifying your CSS files, although I use Cloudflare and it seems fine.
Hi TheMediumUTM,
I am using the childtheme. Would it be there any different if I was using the mothertheme?
I don’t know what CDN is and I just installed cache plugin. Could you pleas guide me how to refresh the prowser using cache plugin?
Regards
Ecofame
Hi Ecofame. I’m looking at your site and the CSS I gave you is in effect! The whitespace I was hoping to remove is gone — the space between each row in the blocks. (You may need to clear your cache, or if you’re using a CDN purge that cache, or hard refresh your browser cache… there are many potential reasons you might be seeing an old version of your page!) If there’s a different whitespace you want to remove, please point it out in a screenshot.
You likely have a conflict between the methods being used.
For example when I upload a 745×483 30kb file (size on server; actual size is 24kb); the resize plugin I’m using (to make “larger” images only) along with functions quality setting of “50”, the resulting 700×357 thumb is 23.57kb on server, 1074×483 is 38.25kb; 326×235 is 10.74kb. “Actual” sizes are lower (I’m looking via my ftp tool.)
For example, the orig. 745×483 image is 24.1kb, but 28kb on disk. 30kb on unix server.
I found smushit didn’t help me.
mod_pagespeed does make my images progressive once they are cached (meaning the images seen in the page source have the pagespeed modified file names).
Hi,
Thanks again.
I pasted the code and nothing happened. I installed cache plugin and still nothing is happening.
Regards
Go to Theme Panel -> Custom CSS and paste it in there.
If it doesn’t work, add an !important tag like this:
.td_mod_wrap .meta-info {
display: none !important;
}
Make sure to refresh your cache if you’re using a cache plugin. Let me know if that works!
As for site design, to each his own 🙂 I guess the more options the better.
The link I shared generates all the hard part of the CSS based on the gradient you make there. Once you make the gradient you want:
1. Go to your Theme Panel -> Custom CSS
2. Enter .td-menu-wrap { on a new line
3. Copy and paste all the CSS code generated by that site
4. Enter } on one more new line
5. Delete your cache if you use one and refresh page.
If this doesn’t work, the implementation will be more difficult and you’d probably have to wait for tagDiv support after the weekend.
Good luck!
P.S. Lucian, I finally installed the Live CSS Editor I see in your screenshots sometimes. So good 😀 Much better than fiddling with five different parts of the inspector or a stubborn cache…
Agreed, when I’ve seen a white screen and it’s not a php error, I’ve often found it’s aggressive CSS minifying. Both those plugins should work, but make sure you disable minifying CSS, and then clear the page cache before looking at your site.
Hi after updating to the latest version, I notice that the lightbox function for feature image is not working. I disabled the W3 Total Cache plugin thinking this may help, but this does not seem to help either. Any thoughts on this?
Thank you,

1. I’ve fixed the problem with the big slider, but i want to know if i could modify the arrows because they are white and the background is still white and they couldn’t be seen.
2. Q2W3 Fixed Widget – still doesn’t work !!! ( i want to mention the fact that this plugin worked before the vers.4 of the theme)
3. The lightbox works ONLY when i deactivate W3 Total Cache plugin ( i am using CDN-MAX CDN), is the any way to solve this issue?
Thanks
