- TutorialsWhat is Ajax preloading?
Hello planetcappe,
I caught this behavior as sometimes happens when the page is in loading process and then it becomes to normal. So, I suspect this happens to due from your untested plugins. Please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out any conflicting plugins. Until now, we do not have any bad reports in this regard. The theme was fully tested and seems to work as properly in this regard. If your problem is still there, please try to use the Force Regenerate with Regenerate Thumbnails to regenerate you thumbs, clear all your caches and test it again. Also, you should make a new clean install, without any plugins and customizations and check the results with a new clean theme version.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello nycinsider,
The latest version of Visual Composer which come bundled with the theme (Newspaper 7.4) is 4.12.1. Please try to update the theme and all required plugins, clear all your caches and test again and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello Raul007,
I have tested on my side, just created a smart list 6 with more images and captions and all of these seems to work as properly, as you can see here -> http://screencast.com/t/G1y0oT9mPq2k I have inspected your page source and I noticed that you are using some untested plugins which can interfere with the theme and cause a lot of unknown issues. Please try to disable all your active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme and rule out any conflicting plugins. Also, you can try to update the theme to the latest version of it -> Newspaper 7.4.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello drhitender,
Try to install the latest version of the theme which is Newspaper 7.4. All required plugins come bundled with the theme, like as Visual Composer 4.12.1 and Social Counter 4.1. Update the theme to the latest version of it, clear all your caches and check the results. If you want to know what type of version for Visual Composer you are using, you will have to look here -> http://screencast.com/t/mX21stVIRbn
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
FastCGI, suEXEC and OpCache
Suexec is a part of the apache webserver that allows cgi scripts run as the user in whose directory they are installed, rather than as the user ‘nobody’ or ‘apache’. This can be convenient both for security and practical reasons. The security restrictions imposed by suexec are documented at httpd.apache.org.
But good conversation to have with host .. “I want best setup for WordPress sites…. ” — if they don’t know what that means, get a new host 🙂
Hey Chris, thanks for taking the time to respond and the link.
Most of the optimization posts I have been reading are yours.
In your opinion, which set should I go with ?
DSO mod_ruid2 + OpCahce
– or –
FastCGI, suEXEC and OpCache
Thanks,
That is entirely up to you and your web host and has nothing to do with the theme.
Basically you want to work with host to “optimize for wordpress….”
You do not have to have OpCache installed … it’s “recommended” — and is part of server setup and not part of WordPress or the theme.
Info on the differences between the two things you’re asking about:
https://forums.cpanel.net/threads/mod_ruid2-vs-suphp-costs-vs-benefits.269601/
But yes, OpCache is recommended.
So, yes, worth changing.
I have been reading some of the speed optimizing threads and many recommend to install/activate: OpCache.
So I contacted my host provider to have in installed on our VPS.
However, the replied that we currently have suPHP installed and its not compatible with OpCache.
IF we wish to have OpCache installed then they have to switch from suPHP to DSO mod_ruid2.
Is this advisable ? Switching to : DSO mod_ruid2 ?
Thank-you for the help.
Hello @hadharm,
make sure to also remove: advanced-cache.php, db.php, w3tc/, w3-total-cache-config.php from wp-content/
Thanks for your understanding
I copied his chain in .htaccess to specify headers html.
# BEGIN Expire headers
<ifModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault “access plus 5 seconds”
ExpiresByType image/x-icon “access plus 604800 seconds”
ExpiresByType image/jpeg “access plus 604800 seconds”
ExpiresByType image/png “access plus 604800 seconds”
ExpiresByType image/gif “access plus 604800 seconds”
ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash “access plus 604800 seconds”
ExpiresByType text/css “access plus 604800 seconds”
ExpiresByType text/javascript “access plus 604800 seconds”
ExpiresByType application/javascript “access plus 604800 seconds”
ExpiresByType application/x-javascript “access plus 604800 seconds”
#ExpiresByType text/html “access plus 600 seconds”
#ExpiresByType application/xhtml+xml “access plus 600 seconds”
</ifModule>
# END Expire headers
But as you can see I have many errors in the cache and not as https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trebol-apuestas.com%2F&tab=desktop fix. I think we should go one on one by adding them how did you do it? I can give an example with the first http://sumome.com/api/load/ as you can specify cache for this file to .htaccess?
Yes @snaxzer I don’t minify CSS with any plugin except the one done in my CloudFlare account as explained in your article. Though I was using W3 Total Cache before but I have uninstalled it to follow your tutorial.
What could be happening???
Hello devESPL,
First of all, please try to update the theme to the latest version of it (Newspaper 7.4), clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme and rule out any conflicting plugins. Then, please make sure that you have followed all the right steps which are explained in our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-lists/ Please try to read all this documentation and after you understood all of those steps, try to implement the smart list on your side. Also, you can watch this video tutorial because it may very useful for you. -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbYgm4K9-ow
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello @hadharm,
Considering that you have followed all the steps given in the tutorial https://goo.gl/e6pVWs
After that, you have to purge all the caches from WP- Super Cache Plugin and Browser as well.
Don’t minify any CSS of js manually using any online tool or a plugin.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks for your understanding

Strange thing: Unique articles stopped working for logged out users. Works fine when logged in.
We are running Newsmag 3.1 and VC 4.12.
Tried to deactivate plugins, no luck there. Also cleared cache and deactivated.
