Yes…. follow the suggestions found in this sticky topic.
1) make sure you have proper expiration headers
2) make sure you have gzip/deflate running on your server
3) use the speedbooster tagdiv plugin
4) use an image optimization tool (e.g., smushit, or similar) and/or set compression level in your functions.php file
Use GTMetrix to see anything you need to fix except for minifying the CSS and Java; if you wish to minimize that you can do so using the tips I’ve included for using CSSminifier, etc.
However, expiration headers, cache control headers in htaccess file, and gzip/deflate running on your server are good for 20 points of your problem and will get you into the 85 range once you solve that.
I’ve only ever seen this happening with caching, or on a cheap hosted account where there are 10,000 sites on same server and php/MySQL times out on refresh (bad!).
Sometimes if you have a malformed shortcode, or other oddity that can also happen. I would probably suspect the /userpro/ stuff.
But if the text is there when you go to edit the page, try re-saving it, view the text in both plain text view and code view to see if anything odd such as inserted code that might be breaking.
If using cache, be sure to clear cache after any post goes live.
Not sure that helps, but what came to mind.
hi,
the problem is wordpress, is a very big and slow application.
it will help to move your site to a dedicated server (not shared account, not VPS)
Thanks for you message.

Im running the WP Super Cache plugin and I set to use the mod_rewrite for a few days. It wasn’t helping the speed of the site much so I’m not attempting to use the ‘Use PHP to serve cache files’. I get about 30k+ page views daily so the site is always active (about 70-100 users on at the same time via Analytics). I’m really struggling on getting the site to run at a good speed so if anybody can share their WP Super Cache settings that are working good on an active website that would be great! Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
After the 4.1 update I lose the BG image for the Home page. Settings > Background. All the Categories Background images work normally its just the Home page.
Caches all cleared and tested.

If you scroll down, you’ll see a section called “Apps” that I have setup using Block 1. I don’t know why but it isn’t showing all posts from the category. Only after a few clicks back and forth on the sub-categories does it refresh.
I have no cache-plugins installed. Disabled all external plugins, but the issues persist.
Thanks for your help Radu, but I disabled everything (except Bakery) and result was the same. Don’t know if it’s because I have arranged the blocks in vertical columns next to each other in the same row or if there is something else going on.
I am using the Blank Homepage Template.
I even put a different block in there and cleared all my caches.
For now I am using a workaround (Random Posts in one block and Most popular in another so that both blocks load content.
Let me know if you have any other ideas that may help to fix this since I would still like to use the Unique Article Feature if possible.

Tried all pplugins one can find but none of them work correctly.
Autoptimize works but it generates minified files for every page every time a new user visits… Cache becomes more than 100 mb in half an hour…
Any solution?

Hi
Since I migrated from Blogger to WordPress I lost the view count on my posts – can you recommend a way to override the post view count per post in the DB or something like that ?
(I saw the below link and I am not sure it’s the way to go, any way – I’d prefer a method that would work across all wordpress themes in case I want to switch to another theme in the future or something like that…)
https://forum.tagdiv.com/wp-postviews-post-view-counter-alternative-for-w3-total-cache/
Thanks @Chris
I just wanna minify the css, html and js and i don’t use total cache. Any other plugin?
😉
Hi Radu,
with 4.1 update I have the same problem with Big Slide in homepage (with pc desktop).
I try to:
– deactivate the w3 cache plugin
– delete cdn
– delete browser cache
– delete all cache
But I have always the same problem, I see only the first big image.
POSSIBLE ERROR: in the code of big slider I found many div with ID that start with “iosSlider_…..” (in the previous version the div class start with “iosSlider…”)
Hi Lucian,
I am running the updated version. The cache is cleared and tested with all plugins disabled.
The CSS dictating the ‘Pages’ is:
.body .td-post-text-content, .page p, .bbpress p {
line-height: 21px;
}
And you can see it’s NOT taking the fonts chosen in ‘Post Content Font’ settings.
Whereas the CSS dictating ‘posts’ is:
body .td-post-text-content {
font-family: Chivo;
font-size: 16px;
}
I can add a CSS in Custom CSS option to change Page settings, but it should be managable from Theme Settinsg Option as pages are some of the most important page on site which carry about us and other info.
Here is an example of post page:
http://www.themukt.com/2014/07/24/google-switch-odf-gain-market-europe/
Here is an example of Pages, please notice the fonts and settings:
http://www.themukt.com/write-mukt/
It’s very important to have consistency across the site, given this is such a ‘perfect’ theme and I just love your work 🙂
Since there is already a ‘Page Title Font’ setting option, it would be helpful to also offer ‘Page Content Fonts’ option so that we can manage the page layout easily.
@Nitish Saxena it work for me…
.page .wpb_content_element p {
font-size: 10px;
}
you need to cache ur site too see the changes
Hello,
Since i’ve updated the theme, tinymce has messed up changing the fonts of the back-end such as ‘wp-admin/post-new.php’.
In the HTML of the backend editor it says:
<body id="tinymce" class="mce-content-body content post-type-post post-status-pending post-format-standard mceContentBody wp-editor html5-captions" onload="window.parent.tinymce.get('content').fire('load');" contenteditable="true">
In the css of the backend editor now, it says:
element.style {
}
html .mceContentBody {
max-width: 700px;
max-width: 1074px;
font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif;
font-size: 16px;
line-height: 27px;
}
body {
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", "Bitstream Charter", Times, serif;
font-size: 13px;
line-height: 19px;
color: #333;
margin: 10px;
}
body {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
color: #000000;
font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #F0F0EE;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #676662;
scrollbar-base-color: #F0F0EE;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #DDDDDD;
scrollbar-face-color: #E0E0DD;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #F0F0EE;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #F0F0EE;
scrollbar-track-color: #F5F5F5;
}
body[Attributes Style] {
-webkit-user-modify: read-write;
word-wrap: break-word;
-webkit-line-break: after-white-space;
}
user agent stylesheetbody {
display: block;
margin: 8px;
}And i can’t change ‘html .mceContentBody’, so the font is to normal? Even when i deactivate the cache plugin ‘W3 Cache’, it still doesn’t change.
Any help?
Thanks 🙂
Hi,
I have tested the “Post Content Font” and seems to work fine using the latest theme version (4.0.2).
Please try this without any plugins activated except those required by the theme and see if it works. Also update the theme to the latest version.
If not you can give us wp-access so we can check this issue, please provide the wp-admin user and pass to contact@tagdiv.com
Regarding the this happens just once until the cache is created, there is an delay until the font loads.
@Steven
Yes you are right, until version 4.0.2 the post content fonts and the page content fonts where the same, if you want to use it like that you can use an older theme version.
If you want you can use this css to change your TOS page font size:
.page .wpb_content_element p {
font-size: 10px;
}use this for the titles from that page:
.page .wpb_content_element span {
font-size: 10px;
}
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Thanks. It works.

However, I found new problems after custom css.
1. for non align image, all text under image change position to right picture if have some space
sample : http://i.imgur.com/WbAc32T.jpg
2. It feel take a little time before images get align even use super cache (not found this problem in previous version).
3. some image class from other plugin change text position
sample : http://i.imgur.com/d4YqJYP.jpg
Is it possible to change themes style css directly to use old version or download older version from themeforest ?
Main Slider issue: was fixed from a user in the 4.0 forum post. Whether it was clearing CloudFlare or changing the number of homepage slide limit, it’s fixed.
Infinite Scroll issue: this seems to be improved a bit after clearing Cloudflare’s cache but since smooth scrolling is added, the user is able to scroll like a maniac since it is so smooth (nicely done) if they wanted, which slows down the infinite load. Is there a way to disable smooth scrolling at all?
We experimented with various lazy loading things; however we ran into issues on home page (this was possibly back on Newspaper 2x, btw), and some other things where sometimes certain images didn’t load at all due to the lazy loading timing out for some things “below the fold” … if your host has mod_pagespeed you can play with that, but there are also some plugins as tomdouble noted above. Be sure to test if you have lots of images; if you see “empty spots” when running lazy load, you might have to do without.
Note with proper server side caching, the images should be cached on first load and then future visitors get cached copy, so perhaps not that necessary. Worth trying if you think it’s slowing down page. Be sure to try running smushit or modifying the functions file to reduce image thumbnail sizes first, as that in combination with caching usually does the trick.
hi,
you have some errors: http://screencast.com/t/xhwTpldwRZWO
also can you please disable W3 Total Cache : http://screencast.com/t/A6jLiU2O , seems the cache is somehow gone. Make sure to hit the Empty all caches after doing this.
Thanks for you message.

This weekend i done a make over on my site by upgrading my server and my PHP etc and since i done all that my “sticky menu” is working as entended..but i’m not telling any one go and change server,i think the reason “sticky menu” don’t work for a lot of people because they need to clean there cache in they cache plugin,cloudflare and also they browser cache…
oh, that sucks! I had the same issue the last days with my private server 🙁
Thx!
Hi,
No changes have been made to this feature, the “Unique articles” feature is’s displaying an article just one time on the page, if the post is shown first in the slider then it will not be displayed elsewhere on that page.
The new posts may not appear on the page due to cache also so you can try without using any cache plugins.
Thanks for the message
With the latest version 4.0.2 I needed to clear all browser caches and CND cache. In my case with cloud flare just using the single file clearing especially for the style.css file (but look at the changed files list and clear them as well).
This fixes the big slider and sticky menu. Everything else is working perfectly now, thanks for the great new features and continued optimising from the developers.
Hello!, i go to the template page, click on edit the big slider, re enter the number of post you want and save it again.
Then delete all the caches, and disable JS minify if you have it enabled. That work for me
Hi Lucian,
I don’t have a cache running on the site I turned it off as per the suggestion. The post settings for popular posts over 7 days is turned on but out of 3 posts, one is from this week and the other two are from march and november 2013 and looking at the stats, have not been viewed for months.
Regards
