Hi
To improve your site performance you can try to reduce the number of queries (fewer blocks on page, reduce the elements which use ajax requests/pagination like mega menus/load more/infinite load). By removing the ajax drop-down filter, content preloading and ajax pagination: http://screencast.com/t/gG1jdJsjT – http://screencast.com/t/NkM3ldIDEqY the number of queries it will be significantly reduced. Also consider using a cache plugin and to improve the loading speed look the mysql query cache: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/query-cache.html We also use it on our demo. If you haven’t already, you can try a caching plugin, like WP Super Cache or cloudflare’s CDN.
You can also contact your host provider and let them know about this, they might have specific info on what is the cause of this in your case.
Hope this help.
Thanks!

Hi
We haven’t tested cloudflare’s rocket loader with the theme but usually the rocket loader or automatic compression of js resources cause this. We don’t recommend using an autominify tool as this could generate js conflicts and break features that use js to function as in your case mobile menu and search did.
Please make sure you deactivate all plugins including cloudflare and cache you use, leaving just the Visual Composer active and empty all cache then purge files and check this again.
Let us know how it goes!
Thanks!
Hello,
After upgrade my mobile site http://www.dnevne.net does not work well.
Menu does not work, search…
I use cloudflare, after upgrade I deleted cache.
I tested on iPhone.
Thanks.
Okay. When I was using Cloudfront I had to set CORS rules on the bucket, if memory serves. It’s been over a year since I messed with that, sorry.
If your buckets are not via S3 .. not sure how that works.
In our case :: The solution is to get CORS working with Amazon S3, then to get Cloudfront to forward the appropriate headers.
Old article if the docs did not help from Amazon….

SORRY … I have not used Amazon hosting, so not sure how that works vs S3+cloudfront.

I am using Amazon EC2 for hosting and Cloudfront for CDN.
Sorry thought you were using Amazon cloud for hosting the content. My mistake 🙂
Thanks for your comment, Andrei.
I just realised that I was using an older VC version. Going to update that ASAP like you said and report back. Will also keep an eye on the site performance wrt Cloudflare.
Thanks again!
Hi
The latest version of the theme is tested and works fine with Social counter plugin. I’ve checked your site and noticed that you’re using Visual Composer V4.4.4 with V2.3 of the theme. We always recommend to update and the plugins included in theme’s path when the theme it’s updated to a newer version.
Try deactivate all plugins, update the ones from Newsmag-tf\plugins folder, clear all caches and test again. The plugins always should be installed from the same path with the theme.
We also have some negative reports regarding cloudflare’s rocket loader usage, it seams to affect the theme’s js so if you still have issues with the images try to deactivate it and test again.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hi lezaun,
I will suggest to search on Web some tutorials how you can generate an embed code for SoundCloud in WordPress. I suspect that the problem comes from embed code.
As a quick solution, you can try the code below and set the background-color to what color you want.

The result should see here: http://screencast.com/t/Q99FCyMX8Z
Thanks!
Hi,
When I paste the soundcloud code to a post, it doesnt appears as it should. It works, but without background. Could you fix this problem?
Here you can see the result: http://www.albertolezaun.es/2015/11/10/llevo-cuatro-dias-sin-cambiarme-las-bragas-en-el-confesionario-de-quemorning/
The code is:
<iframe width="100%" height="20" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/232470908&color=ff5500&inverse=true&auto_play=false&show_user=true"></iframe>
Hi,
I put a block on the front page to list posts, ordered by popularity (all time) on the right hand side as can be seen on http://www.virtualfestivals.com/
The top story has 177 or so views (http://www.virtualfestivals.com/news/rammstein-to-go-pinkpop-in-2016/) but the main story on the home page, which isn’t featured on the sidebar has over 200 (http://www.virtualfestivals.com/news/take-that-named-as-first-act-for-british-summer-time-2016/)
Any reason why? No cache plugin but I am running the site through CloudFlare, so does this mean I need to use https://forum.tagdiv.com/ajax-view-count/
Hi fusioncloud,
Please use the code below to change your text color and padding, like this: http://screencast.com/t/krWiIamM
.td_block_3 h3>a {
color: red;
}
.td_block_3 .td_module_wrap .entry-title {
margin-top: -15px;
}
The result is here: http://screencast.com/t/yQOyLT6ApzX
Thanks!
Hi,
with disk caching I was referring to the caching method used by w3 total cache and wp super cache that save the page on the HDD/SSD. W3 total cache also supports caching to APC user cache or memcached. I was tring to point out that wp super cache, even if it saves the page on the hdd/sdd can be as fast as APC or memcached due to the linux’s kernel caching mechanism.
We switch our recommended caching plugin to wp super cache because it’s written better, it’s maintained by automattic (the WordPress developers), it’s leaner and overall we did not encountered many problems with it.
Regarding the flush methods… there are 2 instances: http://screencast.com/t/qO7msUmvI – this is an experiment it may not work.
What caching method are you using now? Your site gets a very good response time from my end even when I’ve bypass cloudflare: http://screencast.com/t/xZ3x2n4Jdvw8 . TTFB is very good and I do not think you can push it more without hardware updates. I’m on the other side of the globe relating to your server and 363ms first page load is very good here with USA.
Part of it not understanding what you mean by “disk cache” in that reply. I have APC, Varnish, Memcache, Apache and Nginx all running. It’s a Cloudways managed setup, so my options are somewhat limited. My understanding is that WP Super Cache doesn’t work with reverse proxy or any of the other advanced stuff.
Your installs may not matter on this issue because you don’t have but a few plugins on any of the demos. Extra plugins means extra bloat and more need for premium caching.
Any further help on that is appreciated.
And as for W3TC’s claim that some flush method is responsible… are any instances used in the theme that I missed?
Thanks, Radu.
Searched the forums but found nothing about this.
I’ve been using it without problems forever now, but today when I went to add our new Instagram account to it (username only, public account, plugin v3.0) the plugin started throwing fatal errors. I have errors suppressed but here are the error log entries for a single page load…

I’ve been using Twitter, Facebook, SoundCloud, and Google+ in the counter widget. I don’t use it in VC. Adding the IG account is what threw the error. Haven’t been able to get the counter (at all) or anything down the document to load for any page where it’s supposed to show up since.
I tried deleting the plugin and installing fresh from the 6.5.1 release of Newspaper, no joy. Not sure what else to do here but report the bug. Made changes to the accounts used (flirted with not showing the SoundCloud profile) about a month ago with everything up to date (WP, VC, Counter, Newspaper, etc.). The only thing that has changed in that time is that I now run on PHP v5.6 instead of v5.5. First issue I’ve had with it since Feb 2014.
No clue what to try next and not making much of the error log to tell me what to fix.
Thanks.
Gracias por tus manuales en castellano son realmente útiles 🙂

Hi team
Today i am looking to add custom link using subfooter along with our site name. http://prntscr.com/8z8x1e
But when i add followed link along with subfooter,
Proudly Hosted by Cloudways
it points to wrong URL and not rendering properly.
Will you please help me to resolve the same.
Pretty much at the end of my wits on this issue. I’m using Newspaper 6.5.1 & W3TC, which I’ve said before I hate but have since moved to a managed VPS that is built to use it for APC and Varnish.
The problem I’m getting is encoded pages being served from the page cache module, regardless of what other modules are or are not enabled. If I change themes to something from a different developer, the problem goes away. The W3TC plugin FAQ on WP.org addresses this and says it’s due to the use of php_flush() or the function flush() by the theme, but I’m not seeing that in the header, index, or footer files though it’s entirely possible that one of those calls is in a deeper file.
Here’s what it looks like:

This has been an on-going issue for me since about July of last year (I’ve kept Newspaper up to date within a few days of every update) and has remained consistent across two hosts (one cloud shared and one VPS). At the time this started W3TC was the recommended caching plugin for theme and even though that recommendation has changed, it’s not because the plugin breaks the theme. I can’t figure out what’s going on.
The host has looked into it with no luck. The W3TC support team doesn’t exist. And I’m not seeing the flush methods called from the theme to answer the documentation’s claimed cause of the problem.
Any ideas? I’m at a loss now. I’ve got a beautiful varnish/memcached/apache/nginx setup going to waste because of this and it’s starting the impede growth of the site.
Thanks.
it is necessary to display the tag list, but not as much as in the WP tag Cloud. Need:
1) visible marks filtered by a certain category;
2) a list, and not depending on popularity.
How can I do this?
Hello Andrei,
You can use this generator from feedly to create your button and link to your account: http://feedly.com/factory.html
Then, for the header icons you can place the generated code in the top-widget.php file like so: http://screencast.com/t/3mrx3E76 result: http://screencast.com/t/QTQUNthjHY3b
It will need a bit of css styling to get in line with the others. You can add a CSS class to the a link generated on the feedly site as an example:
<a class="feedly-top" href='http://cloud.feedly.com/#subscription%2Ffeed%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2Fmyfeed' target='blank'><img id='feedlyFollow' src='http://s3.feedly.com/img/follows/feedly-follow-circle-flat-white_2x.png' alt='follow us in feedly' width='28' height='28'></a>
Then you can style it with css using the ‘feedly-top’ class.
For the bottom widget you will have to use the code in td_footer_extra_bottom.php like so: http://screencast.com/t/7HIBb5yxoaul
Keep in mind that you may have to change all the quote symbols to match the php syntax. A text editor line notepad++ will warn you on this.
Then you can also style it with css to position it.
I hope this helps
Thanks.
Thanks for reply, I am using Better WordPress Minify and its working fine without any problem. I also tried Autoptimize plugin and Cloudflare’s minify feature but both had compatibility issue with lazyLoad feature of Newspaper theme. Because All Images show blank space. When disabled lazyLoad, both worked fine…
I think excluding LazyLoad js can trick
Hi
Thanks for the suggestion!
We will include in our documentation more information regarding cloudflare rocket loader usage. We use cloudflare on our demo and works fine with lazy load animation active.
Thanks!
I have disable the rocketloader plugin, the video display effect still the same no improve. I also try disable cloudfare support, also no help.
I only can do is clone the old (video) post, then edit from that post. finally it’s work.
Problem’s solved, I try not to use Rocket Loader from Cloudflare and my website running perfectly.
