Search Results for 'cloud'

Did you try to ‘regenerate’ your thumbnails ? This is often necessary when some elements of a theme change markedly and some modules/sizes change. Your site may have had temporary versions of the new sizes, and they no longer exist due to how your files are stored (e.g., CDN, Jetpack, etc.).

Try the “regenerate thumbnails” plugin. If your images need to be make larger, not supported by WP, add the “thumbnail upscale” plugin first; then run the regen plugin. (Both are free plugins, and essentials.)

If you’re using Photon from Jetpack this is common issue with theme updates and you need to refresh that. Theme has no control over how your images stored on Jetpack or other CDN cloud systems.

You can change any of the styles however you wish with custom CSS.

Simply look at the page source for the widget on the page, or use the console (F12) in Chrome to highlight and inspect that element to reveal the CSS used.

Then simply put in the CSS styles you want for those elements in the custom CSS panel in the theme panel.

The tag cloud widget is part of the default WordPress widgets and not a theme widget. Some folks simple use a custom plugin for a tag cloud which gives you control over what items are shown, sizes, fonts, colors, etc.

If you have no idea how to write CSS, simplest thing is to look at many of the free plugins:

A lot of folks on these forums (TagDiv) seem to be using this one:

I also have a question Not sure if anybody will know the answer.

I’m running an image heavy site, at the moment i am uploading all images to my sever and am using Amazon Cloudfront as the CDN for my images.

But i was thinking how do sites like buzzfeed do it. Do they upload all images to their server or do they have an external cloud storage system like amazon S3? Also there a way to have an upload image system like imgur.com, where you can just add the URL of the image and boom it’s stored on your server?

Hi Chris:

Thank you for your quick reply. I check with my hosting, i am using cloudflare for ddos attack prevention but not really any cdn (at least I don’t know) Anyway, now it seems working.

my hosting tells me that the images not showing are using links like this:

http://i1.wp.com/cisocial.net/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/images/no-thumb/art-thumb.png?resize=100%2C65

do you know anything happened? what is i1.wp.com is it jackpack? How can I prevent it happen in the future.

Thanks/Jun

Clear all your caches.
You can also try to regenerate your thumbnails if your images were being loaded via CDN/cloud.

Issue is not with theme — all themes using Visual Composer as a “drag and drop page builder” are having this issue. And this only impacts some servers. We’re using NewsMag on two high traffic sites right now; one which gets a lot of traffic every day, the other gets large hits “depending on the content.”

Not sure what “SmartMag” is as this is the “NewsMag” forum, but if you read my thread then you don’t need to worry …

a) use the theme with current Visual Composer; might not impact your site/CPU depending on how your server is setup.

b) if you have a large CPU hit you will know immediately, and you can switch to using the SHIM plugin.

c) if you have a VERY high volume traffic website (e.g., millions of page views per day) you should be building a “lean framework” which doesn’t have all the pre-built options baked in, as this is not as efficient as a lean framework where you have as little as possible — e.g., TIME magazine is running on a version of twenty-fifteen theme with some custom plugins to manage editorial matters. No page builder, but lots of stuff running via cloud for fast “edge loading” via the Automattic premium platform. In that situation you would be custom building a theme to fit your needs not buying a $50 off the shelf product.

d) in our case we chose the TagDiv folk to redo our news network sites because 16 months ago when looking around they were one of the VERY few who had some clue about pagespeed optimization beyond so-called “SEO READY” … meaning, some thought given to page speed and not just “feature bloat” with some meta tags built in. We had built our own lean framework which was a pain pre-bootstrap, in 2011; went to Woo Canvas in 2012; went to TagDiv end of 2013 (has it been that long?).

But like all CMS platforms where you have a platform running on top of php, then theme(s) running on top of that, then plugins and hooks going into that, there is always a dev/test process on your end to see what works, what needs to be massaged, and what won’t work at all in your particular environment.

If you’re starting a NEW news site, I don’t think you need to worry about high traffic at this stage, as it takes awhile to build that unless you’re using bots or entirely click-bait with paid adwords per story to drive that.

————–
so, if you reads my thread you know
a) they have a fix NOW that works for those with high CPU issues
b) not all users of Visual Composer have an issue
c) the folks who make VC (not TagDiv) may optimize or fix memory issues in future version; TagDiv has NO control over that beyond working with the WP Bakery developers on the issue.
d) they may “roll their own” sideways version of a page builder which is more ‘lean’ at some point, but obviously that takes a bit of time to develop.

So, have fun and build your site 🙂

Ah, no if I delete loop-single.php it stops! It was Cloudflare cache.

Sorry! 🙂

Still can’t get excepts working though on 2-6. Trying!

thanks will try cloudflare, it is asking me to update my DNS – is it safe?

CDN’s, Cloudflare, Cache plugins all help ease off the RAM pressure.

HEY!!
note to all having this issue … not a new “theme bug” per se;

this actually caused by install of WP 4.2 and *not* the theme update

… one of my sites running 1.6 which I just updated to WP 4.2 now has this same issue with just the “categories” widget — none of the other widgets affected I’m using (might impact other ‘default’ widgets; but not impacting tag cloud …

CSS “printed” on page:

<aside class="widget widget_categories"><div class="block-title"><span>Categories</span></div><label class="screen-reader-text" for="cat">Categories</label><select name='cat' id='cat' class='postform'>

Tags cloud is not managed by theme; but you can look at the WordPress Codex on how to add config to the functions.php file; or find a better plugin than the default WP widget (the tag cloud is not part of theme; but a default widget).

And wow the service you’re using to use for a screen shot launched a popup to a live video sex site … might want to use something else for that (!).

+1 on this: Podcaster here 🙂
Also, +1 on SoundCloud support !

Thanks !

No way to fully remove the “render blocking” issue unless you custom engineer your website from scratch to load pages in “chunks” — which is virtually impossible with off the shelf product like this; so technically you will almost ALWAYS get that warning. So, the “goal” would be to address everything ELSE, and “tune” your site without any external elements being loaded, then switch back on the external stuff (e.g., adverts, etc.).

I don’t use Cloudflare, so not much help there.

The reason I don’t provide “support” anymore is I don’t work here; and every server and setup has different issues which are unrelated to how “I do it.” So, not much help for some things like CLoudflare — I stopped using our Amazon CDN for just such issues like IE randomly not loading font awesome, and Firefox just is a P.O.S. with a whole slew of java issues (e.g., our old ecom system won’t load via mod_SPDY with FIrefox, but works with every other browser known to man — forced me to turn off mod_SPDY and having to migrate our ecom to woocommerce … !). Stupid FF.

Thanks for not bugging me …
The other reason I stopped answering some questions is people would not bother to actually READ my help post and ask if their htaccess file was okay. 😉

I have not bothered putting anything in the speedbooster plugin as not a huge help with most stuff; and many plugins that I use actually have option to load JS in footer anyway, so no need to hack that into the plugin.

Upshot — I have not used the plugin beyond its default settings, since mod_pagespeed takes care of a lot of things (except the latest update which was being overloaded by a legacy site with a loop of doom with timthumb…. but woo taking care of that finally..)

blah blah. Anyway… sorry no magic answers today !
