Hi,
We working on the Woocommerce support, is first on the list, will be available in the following updates.
About the CDN configuration, Radu managed that things, will reply to you.
Thanks!
I’m not using any CDN:
The icons are there (in blue in fact), they just dont show. O_o I’ve tried chaing their color, chaing the background color, but no luck.
If using cdn you will need to setup CORS setting for your site, or create exception in your setting to not load icon font from cdn.
@Danijelmo
You don’t need to post the same thing over and over.
Try testing your site with GTMetrix.com as it will tell you specifically what your site problems are and classify them by things like “Server” “Images” etc., with explanations.
Did you setup gzip/deflate on your server? [looks like you did!]
Did you edit your htaccess file (if applicable) to add expiration headers (e.g., mod_expires settings)?
Did you install an optimization plugin for images/thumbnails or change the default setting in your functions.php file?
Are you using the tagdiv speed booster plugin?
Did you disable system hogs like jetpack? Disable all plugins you’re NOT using?
Are you using a caching plugin once all of the above is working?

based on this you have some issues:
http://gtmetrix.com/reports/crnjaci.com/fxrIs409
1) you’re loading images off wp.com instead of your own locale; using a CDN for un-optimized images doesn’t make them load any better
2) you need to add instruction to the functions.php file to remove query strings (see my help on that in the pagespeed sticky topic)
3) you have some ridiculously huge images….

Looks like you need to seriously look at your image optimization problems as your images look to be way too big when actually served on the pages.
Wny would you have a 250kb+ image file? A 1024×768 image if properly optimized should be no more than maybe 75kb.
BTW: optimizing your server/site for PageSpeed is YOUR job, not the theme’s job. Good to learn how to do this by reading up on the topic on Google as well as the docs provided with the theme as a courtesy.
Hi
theme uses a custom font for all the little icons which is more efficient than loading a graphic a million times with CSS (sprites). E.g., using FontAwesome or similar. What you’re seeing is the font not loading and hence you get “broken” icons that look like [].
The only issue with this is that for folks using a CDN, there is a cross-site security setting that most people using CDNs don’t know anything about unless they have run into this before.
In fact, there is a setting you would need to create for the font file if loading off the CDN, called a “CORS” file. You should see the docs for your CDN on how to do this.
Or, simply load the custom font file off your local server – which with many CDNs you do by creating an “exception” in your CDN setup to NOT load the font file(s) on the CDN and leave on the domain where the site happens to be. This will often be simpler method for those who don’t want to deal with setting up a CORS file.
Great article from 2013 which helped me with this issue when we were setting up a CDN; we had to create CORS entry. Later we chose to simply load off our local server (where the domain and WP are installed): (THIS EXAMPLE IS FOR AMAZON, BUT SIMILAR PRACTICE WOULD APPLY TO ALL CDNs):
http://schock.net/articles/2013/07/03/hosting-web-fonts-on-a-cdn-youre-going-to-need-some-cors/
Info from MaxCDN
http://support.maxcdn.com/how-to-use-cdn-with-webfonts/
Probably admin here will need to make a very short tutorial on this topic, since more and more people are using CDNs, without actually knowing how they work. 🙂
1 and 2 have been resolved.. It seems it was Cloudflare minification problem
But does this mean that I can’t use CDN..?
Also, any help with #3 appreciated
Note if loading the custom icon font off a cdn you will likely need to add CORS rules for the font files.
please see attached image. browser on the right is logged in. widgets appear properly. browser on left is not logged in. widgets missing in footer 3 
does that mean i can’t use cloudfront cdn if font icons must be from same domain? do you plan to support woocommerce? thank you
See the theme docs on how to update.
there is a patch file in the full download, but i usally turn off plugins, delete old theme folder, upload new theme folder, reactivate theme
Obviously you need to manage your caching and cdn settings as applicable, such as clearing cache before reactivating new version.

That’s what I thought. I don’t think slider is able to do “double loading” — meaning it’s doing ajax or whatever to load each “slide” as an image, but cannot also do “media query check” as each slide loads, as that would mean reloading the slide every time to check for viewport. Horribly complicated and almost means having to do a viewport check, THEN load “desktop slider” vs “mobile slider” with two different setups; meaning loading both large and small images like is done with logo. Problem there, however, is what size would somebody load for mobile since the viewports vary, and traditionally loading larger image and “scaling” it was fine since you’d get benefit of more pixels for retina without having to actually load a denser image.
In our case to this issue, the solution was running mod_pagespeed on the server as this optimizes and caches the most common “rendered size” — so if 80% of your audience was coming in on iPhone, viewing in portrait, and the 1073 image was loading as 573, then mod_pagspeed would make an optimized 573 size image and cache it; which would speed things up AND help with the “resize image” technical “problem” with mobile.
I cannot stress any more highly the benefit of mod_pagespeed for this kind of issue; and the fact it can generate optimized images for Chrome and other WebP image capable platforms (WebP more efficient than jpg).
If you can use a web hosting company using mod_pagespeed you will be amazed. Of course some CDN providers are now offering this, too, if your hosting provider doesn’t yet do so.
Hi,
This could be due to the speed booster plugin version 3.0 that was provided with the latest theme version, which is 4.6 (by mistake we have added 4.5d).
Other than this css flash which appears only when using the speed booster plugin the theme should work fine so please make sure that you empty all cache the purge files if you use any CDN host service then disable all plugins and check again.
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Hi,
I have checked your site and seems that you also have some errors in your console: http://screencast.com/t/cp8T026vnZUL
A plugin could cause this so please make sure you deactivate all plugin leaving just Visual Composer enabled the empty cache and purge files if you use any cache or CDN plugins then check again, and also make sure that you check you console for errors.
Please let me know what you find.
Thanks
Be sure to disable woo commerce also, not just the woo commerce extension plugins.
Clear your site cache and cdn cache if susing those, fully clear your browser cache.
Hi,
Glad it dose! Regarding the style settings for old pages please make sure that those pages don’t load from cache and for that empty cache then and purge files if you use any CDN host services then disable all plugins leaving just VC active and check again.
If you still have issues with it after following all this steps please give us wp-acess so we can also check and provide login details via email at contact@tagdiv.com and also include a link to this tread.
Thanks
Hi guys, we are CDN so the web is pretty fast however we would like to improve PageSpeed, YSlow, Pingdoom and GTmetrix. is it safe to use this plugin for leverage browser cash etc.. web: http://www.electropiknik.cz

Hi,
Thanks Christopher!
@digitalbulgaria First please send your site’s URL so I can inspect it and also make sure you deactivate all plugins and empty cache and/or purge files id you use any CDN hosting services then check again.
@worldchris you can find the changes and list of modified files here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/update-theme-using-envato-plugin-without-losing-customizations/
Scroll down to this section: http://screencast.com/t/1k9oBNAija
Thanks
Hi,
Another plugin that you already have installed and active could interact with it. Have you tried this without any plugins activate? Also please make sure you download and use the latest theme version and that rev slider plugin within the theme files from plugins folder.
Try this without the plugins and also make sure you empty cache and purge files if you use cache and/or any CDN host services and let me know how it goes.
Thanks
Hi, i want to know where i can found the ID author to insert in Author Box widget, like the image https://scontent-a-mia.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/p280x280/10423779_10204718124093636_1048797646001331832_n.jpg?oh=b2d8ac41ded3e696cca43610f34b9992&oe=54DCECAE
Because i don’t want show all the registered users.
Sorry for the english, thanks
Hi,
I can assure you that it’s not a bug, you can see on pour demo that this doesn’t occur: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/?s=beauty
Most likely this happens due to a plugin so please make sure you disable all plugins leaving just Visual Composer active then empty cache and/or purge files if you use any CDN hosting service then check again.
Please disable first this one: https://wordpress.org/plugins/search-everything/ as I quite sure that this is causing it.
Please let me know!
Thanks
Well, this is a NEW theme, on version 1.0 … it is not an update to Newspaper. So you need to treat as changing to different theme, unless I totally misunderstood what you were saying there 🙂
So,
1) switch to default WP theme
2) turn off all plugins; delete ALL plugins used for Newspaper theme
and delete any prior issue of Visual Composer – completely
3) clear cache, update CDN if needed
4) install theme
5) install plugins
6) activate new visual composer with all other plugins OFF
7) activate theme from wordpress > appearance
So, you need to install the theme then activate the new theme following the theme docs.

Hi,
I have checked your site and seems that this only happens on homepage as on other pages like post pages/category pages.. the ads are loading as they should so please make sure you disable all plugins, empty cache and/or purge files if you use any cache plugins or CDN host services then check again.
Please also check your console for this error after you disable plugins: http://screencast.com/t/tsOxZtQWjt
If nothing works please make sure you follow this ads troubleshooter: https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/1208336?hl=en
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Hi,
You have managed the issue? Please try what Christopher said and see if works. Probably is from your CDN or a cached page.
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
Please provide your site’s URL so I can inspect this as I’m not sure I understand what your issue is. Also consider disabling all plugins then empty cache and/or purge files if you use any cache plugins or CDN host services then check again for this as this.
Please let me know!
Thanks
@howtoisolve All this css files are moved automatically by the speed booster plugin to the footer when active. Noticed that are also loaded from CDN so you should consider emptying cache and purging files.
Thanks
