Search Results for 'child theme how to functions.php'

I found this post: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/child-theme-2/ and followed the instructions. Removing the line in functions.php solved all of the warnings.

Sorry I didn’t read that first!

It happens because there is no td_wordpres_booster.php anymore. You can fix this by removing the following code from your functions.php in your child theme:

if (!defined('TD_THEME_WP_BOOSTER')) {
include TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/td_wordpres_booster.php';

You can avoid CSS import by not using a child theme.
You can remove query strings by using the functions I have previously recommended for adding to your functions.php file. You can also optimize your thumbnails by editing your functions.php file to set higher compression level for WP, and then run the “Regenerate Thumbnails” plugin.

Add these to bottom of your functions.php file, for one example:

function remove_cssjs_ver( $src ) {
if( strpos( $src, '?ver=' ) )
$src = remove_query_arg( 'ver', $src );
return $src;
}
add_filter( 'style_loader_src', 'remove_cssjs_ver', 10, 2 );
add_filter( 'script_loader_src', 'remove_cssjs_ver', 10, 2 );

add_action('init', 'myoverride', 100);
function myoverride() {
remove_action('wp_head', array(visual_composer(), 'addMetaData'));
}


You can optimize your site following the documentation for this theme:

Hello Lucian,

This last solution seems very complicated.

We have added the first code, in order to add the post title to the alt tag of the images when it doesn’t exist.

We have added it to the original functions.php file (not in the child theme function.php file).

But as you can see in the code of this old page, is not working:

How can we solve it?

Thank you in advance.

I’m using Newspaper Child Theme and I’ve added code lines to functions.php in Child Theme, everything seems ok except search
still http://www.futbolne.com/ara (ara means search) gets 404 error. (Also /search didn’t work before changing)
Any suggestion for it?

Basically what I’ve done for my site is
(not using child themes as they add CSS redirects bad for SEO/speed)

a) search/replace all instances of fonts I don’t want to load from Google in my style.css file; using common font stacks for fallback such as 'Open Sans',Arial,sans-serif
(if you don’t know what font stacks are, see: http://cssfontstack.com/

b) set all my fonts in theme panel to ‘default’ so there is no code if/then trying to insert any custom fonts into header/footer/speedbooster

c) commented out the code in functions.php which loads google fonts on the page; and also removed the section of code which has the various links to theme fonts on google I won’t be using; no need to have if/then code asking to load fonts from google if I’m never going to do that via theme code (as per examples in my prior posts in this thread); need to both or you will get error. Same code in 4.22, 4.3 and 4.4 versions of theme.

d) I grabbed the link from google fonts website for the font I wish to use (as per my example above in this thread), then pulled the actual css from that link so I won’t be loading the links to the fonts from their CSS file (one less CSS file loaded on page); placed this at bottom of my own style.css file after the minified code, so that it lives in its own section after theme styles.

All of this was done with caching off, mod_pagespeed off, so that changes are picked up immediately. When editing my files I use either TextPad on the PC, or BBEdit on the Mac, to ensure my files have Linux/Unix line breaks since I’m using Linux web server. Some PC editors will put “Windows line breaks” in files, which are bad for Linux servers, in some cases, and can cause parsing errors. So, helps to know what you’re doing if editing core files for a web server.

PURPOSE OF ALL OF THIS:
1) speed up website
2) remove intermediate call to CSS style sheet on google, which may not have proper expiration headers/TTL, and may show “advisory” from testing GTMetrix,PageSpeed Insights, etc. – may help “rating” by removing one so-called issue caused by Google’s own system.

You do *NOT* need to do this, unless you have ALL OTHER optimizations in place. Many sites load their fonts from Google using their function call as it’s essentially loading from a CDN. However, “hacking” the theme for this purpose can help advanced users resolve those last couple of ratings issues, and also those obsessed with micro-optimizations.

WARNING
this hack must be done EVERY time you update the theme; so if not willing to do that, best to skip this whole subject and get on with creating great content which is better for SEO and SERPS than saving a couple of milliseconds on font loading.

I posted how to do this recently, but don’t have the link, unfortunately. Perhaps do a quick forum search.

Remember, too, to search/replace the calls to Google fonts in the style.css file, too. And ensure you turn off your cache if using one, prior to making changes.

Also note some folks have trouble doing this when using child theme, if the child them css calls the fonts or a fuctions over ride file calls them.

I think you need to remove the whole section in 4.2x in functions.php which if I recall was lines 41 to 84 … you’re basically removing that “function” ….

Child themes are indeed handy. Christopher recently said he doesn’t use them because of the pagespeed slowdown in CSS importing, if I understood him right, which is valid but it does prevent things like this. If you’re a heavy modifier of files, each update will be painful…

Child themes basically make WP use the version of the file in the child theme rather than the parent theme’s, if one exists. Hence your changes would survive updates.

Also, not all of those files can be modified in a child theme (I believe td_wordpress_booster.php can’t, for example). For those ones, you would have to copy the function in question into your child theme’s functions.php, make your changes, and rename the function. Then either change all references to the function in other files, or it’s a hooked action or filter, unhook the parent functions and hook yours in. (There are a few tutorials out there for this.)

Even if you use a child theme, you would want to watch for updates that affect functions and styles you’ve changed and do your changes over again, but it’s not as big a deal.

A block 10 is also included in the latest update, so you’d want to rename your custom one to avoid it being overwritten.

I keep a folder with copies of the files I hack each update so I can remember them at a glance, a text file with my additions to put at bottom of functions.php and note as to which section by line number x-x to remove; and a text file with cheat sheet of the search/replace for the style.css file. Not too painful. Kind of started when I had existing read/hit counter and needed to update the module to load the existing “field” vs the one used by Newspaper for hit counting. Then it was uncommenting the author byline each time in the main post file. Then it was the custom font loading. Well, there you are. As long as I have my local “cheats” folder, I can usually open two windows with both old stuff and new version of theme and then just top to bottom change stuff in new update folder, and then upload to server and it’s like nothing changed for the stuff I modified.

And, benefit is the style redirect issue that Google doesn’t like with child themes, and much easier to deal with any custom css over-rides as well as issues with tagdiv’s in house speedbooster plugin, etc.

At least this has been my experience 🙂

I seem to remember having little luck with that. I think the way I ended up doing it was copying, renaming, and editing the functions in my child theme functions.php, then removing the action or filter of the parent function and adding the action or filter of my own.

It looks like you’ve done it almost exactly right. But I have these notes:

1. I made a mistake when I said to use the_field — change all instances to get_field in the code.

2. If you can’t activate a child theme, your code modifications won’t survive a theme update anyway and you’ll have to redo it each time you update. 🙁 Still, it should work. And it’s fine if you use that block of code instead of the functions.php way I quoted.

3. Once you have that code in your template files, you don’t need to do anything from the post editing page besides enter those custom fields.

4. If you’re not seeing anything show up when you view the post, you might be putting your code in the wrong single post template file. There are seven of those in this theme: loop-single.php, loop-single-1.php, single_template_2.php, single_template_3.php, single_template_4.php, and single_template_5.php. You could put the above code in whichever template file you’ve picked in Theme Panel -> Post Settings, or you could put it in every template file.

5. Just to make sure, where are you putting the code in the template file? (Which lines come right before and after it?)

Thank you Lucian,

I appreciate you support.

Kind Regards

Note! I should have used get_field, not the_field, up there. the_field echoes it right away but get_field gives you the data so you can put it in a tab.

One last thing is that if you’re going to use this in all your templates, you should probably just go to your child theme’s functions.php and turn the code into a function. You have to pass the post ID to that function as well. It should look like this:

function my_custom_field_tabs($post_id) {
  // all the code I posted above, indented
 ...
}

Except that instead of echo $to_echo; you’ll have return $to_echo;, and instead of $data_1 = get_field('field_1');, you'll have$data_1 = get_field(‘field_1’, $post_id);`.

Then, wherever you want to insert the tabs in a template, you would just use this one line:

<?php echo my_custom_field_tabs($post->ID); ?>

I got confused.

1) Open sans works fine but ubuntu,roboto etc. do not. They look different.

Roboto: http://prntscr.com/4jbd9r
Ubuntu:http://prntscr.com/4jbdp8
Roboto and Ubuntu(google fonts page): http://prntscr.com/4jbfff

2) Blue default color loading first is not fixed. I re-installed the plugin and update again the theme. nothing changed. Last solution does not make any meaning because problem is not only blue color. Default template loads first. all fonts and colors change.

3) All I need is a website with latin extended fonts. I want to change widget, menu, h1, h2, title. etc.. fonts and colors using theme panel.

All these fonts and colors supposed to be changed by theme panel. But, in this situation, theme panel has no fuction.
or
(Theme Panel > Custom Typography) never works. I have to change everything manually with css. Is this right?

It has been just two weeks, that I bought the theme. I can start all over if there will be no problems like these.

What do you recommend?

Thanks Lucian,

It didnt worked. I only want to change block title font not all parts. So add only this to custom css:

.block-title span {
    font-family: "Roboto Condensed" !important;
}

Would you please check? http://www.konsantrepo.com/

Apart from this, when I open the website, I first see the blue title block which is default, then it becomes grey which is my choice.

If I modify something on theme panel, do I need to write a custom css for every single change?

Regards,
