You can still use CloudFlare just don’t use there “CDN service” but there is a lot more nice features that come with them,this week they giving FREE SSL Certificate to every one site that use they service..
The team at CloudFlare is excited to announce the release of Universal SSL™. Beginning today, we will support SSL connections to every CloudFlare customer, including the 2 million sites that have signed up for the free version of our service.
For all customers, we will now automatically provision a SSL certificate on CloudFlare’s network that will accept HTTPS connections for a customer’s domain and subdomains. Those certificates include an entry for the root domain (e.g., example.com) as well as a wildcard entry for all first-level subdomains (e.g., http://www.example.com, blog.example.com, etc.).
For a site that did not have SSL before, we will default to our Flexible SSL mode, which means traffic from browsers to CloudFlare will be encrypted, but traffic from CloudFlare to a site’s origin server will not. We strongly recommend site owners install a certificate on their web servers so we can encrypt traffic to the origin.
Later today we’ll be publishing a blog with instructions on how to do that at no cost. Once you’ve installed a certificate on your web server, you can enable the Full or Strict SSL modes which encrypt origin traffic and provide a higher level of security.
Thanks for the tips.
I will see if I can deactivate ‘JM Twitter Cards’ and use the SEO plugin for Twitter cards. There must of been a reason why i wanted another plugin, but can’t remember. I’m sure i’ll find out soon 🙂
I’m now going to try ‘All In One WP Security & Firewall’ and see if that helps.
Which functions.php do i edit? The WP core or the themes?
EDIT: I can’t unfortunately use CloudFlare as i’m using a different CDN service.
Same over here, the dropdown menu is messed up after updating to 4.4
example: http://goo.gl/F1fyL
This is what i’ve tried so far:
– Flush all cache (no improvement)
– Disable all plugins (no improvement)
– Deactivating Cloudflare (no improvement)
– Rolling back to 4.3 (dropdown menu looked fine again)
– Installed 4.4 (dropdown messed up)
I will follow this topic for updates.
Cheers!

I removed CloudFlare and brought a CDN for WordPress 🙂
I am haing trouble with CloudFlare. As someone mentiones before, the site becomes “not-mobile responsive” using it, altough I do see a good speed improve. Any suggestions? Is mandatory to use the payed version to resolve this issue?
Have you all a nice weekend!
Steven,
I have disabled all plugins and issue remained. The problem seems to only go away when I disable cloud-flare service at their site. Not a good outcome.
Just turn off the Rocket Loader or just set it to manual mode…
Manual Mode: In order to have Rocket Loader execute for a particular script, you must add the following attribute to the script tag: “data-cfasync=’true'”. As your page passes through CloudFlare, we’ll enable Rocket Loader for that particular script. All other JavaScript will continue to execute without CloudFlare touching the script.
Please note that:
1. Adding the ‘data-cfasync’ attribute within JS will not work to exclude the script from Rocket Loader.
2. The ‘data-cfasync’ attribute must be added before the ‘src’ attribute.
3. Rocket loader will recognize the tag when either single or double quotes are placed around the attribute value.
Hi,
Safari version 7.0.6.
Found that the issue is with cloud-flare service. If I disable it everything works fine. Any workaround to this or do you recommend any other CDN service?
The most important plugins you need to even get this close to getting those scores..as follow
1.tagDiv speed booster
2.Speedbooster Pack Plugin (Don’t use the feature Disable all above CSS options on mobile devices) all the other features can be use but it all depends on ur site.
3.WP Super Cache Plugin this work better with the theme and don’t cause any issues with the theme code.
4. Optimize Database Plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/rvg-optimize-database/
5.EWWW Image Optimizer Plugin
6.CloudFlare Go to “performance settings tab” and make sure you choose every thing in there…
A.CDN & Full optimizations
B.Simplified
C.Rocket LoaderThis play a very big important role in ur google pagespeed test as well make sure it’ turn on..
D.Auto Minify (JS,CSS,HTML)
E.Minimum expire TTL Make sure it’s set to 5 days not more are less..
Hi,
First of all please deactivate all plugins except those that the theme requires and check again, to make sure that if this issue has nothing to do with some plugin conflict.
Please make sure you that you updated the VC composer plugin also and install it like this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
Also please make sure if you use CDN (cloudflare) or similar please clear the cache.
If nothing helps, please make a backup of your current theme installation and re-updated the theme like this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/
Please let me know if nothing helps.
Thanks
Hi,
Right now I can see that the blog page it’s set as your homepage, you can change this from WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Reading and chose a page you designed as your homepage: http://screencast.com/t/vdcOwLKH6s
You can create the same layout and design for your homepage like this:
1. First add a new page, add a name for it(which you will set in the Reading settings as a homepage), after this set the template, then switch to “Classic mode” like this: http://screencast.com/t/rBoKKS5a0F
2. Secondly change the to “text” view and add the code from below, like this: http://screencast.com/t/TnCeQsNyXfn
The code for the homepage:
[vc_row el_position="first last"][vc_column][td_slide_big limit="8" tag_slug="taggggggg"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][td_block2 limit="6" custom_title="DON'T MISS" ajax_pagination="next_prev" show_child_cat="all" category_id="19"][td_block1 limit="5" header_color="#f65261" custom_title="TECH AND GADGETS" ajax_pagination="next_prev"][td_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"][td_block2 limit="6" custom_title="TRAVEL GUIDES" ajax_pagination="next_prev" header_color="#82b440" sub_cat_ajax="n"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3"][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id="td-demo-1"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][td_block2 limit="6" custom_title="FASHION AND TRENDS" ajax_pagination="next_prev" header_color="#ff3e9f"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3"][td_block4 limit="1" custom_title="EDITOR PICKS" ajax_pagination="next_prev" header_color="#2b2b2b"][td_ad_box spot_id="sidebar"][vc_wp_tagcloud taxonomy="category"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][td_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"][/vc_column][/vc_row]
3. After this switch back to “Backend Editor” and customize the blocks with your content by editing them from here: http://screencast.com/t/0TjfKvN8U18 Do the same for sliders, sidebars, widgets, you can do it as you like.
4. Finally go to WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Reading and set the “Front page displays” as a static page and select your newly created homepage instead of the blog page.
Please make sure you follow our documentation, we have added there guides on how to use the theme right.
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Issue was found to be CDN service through cloud-flare where they have a BETA service called Rocket Loader to speed up loading time. This settings when set to Automatic stops the scripting behaviors for the back to top function, the feature image light-box, the auto slider on tagdiv slider. setting it to Manual or off lets the newspaper script work accordingly.
Here is a link to that:

Thank you everyone.

Hi,
If you use CDN (cloudflare) or similar please clear the cache.
Should solve this.
Thanks
Minifying is reducing file size by removing unnecessary data (e.g. line breaks). Caching / minifying / performance / speed plugins usually do it. The problem is that it can break up the flow of parsing the CSS file (if I understand it right).
Support has said in other threads that minifying CSS through plugins like W3 Total Cache won’t work (and I’ve seen it have the white screen effect). A CDN might also be minifying your CSS files, although I use Cloudflare and it seems fine.
Hi,
Cloud be due to other plugins, I have inspected this and as you noted only happens on Firefox and IE please try to deactivate all plugins leaving active only those theme requires and check if this is still happening.
Please let me know if this solves something for you.
Thanks
Lol. I don’t wanna compete. My site is 8 months old…What settings are you using for Cloudflare? Also, what code do you have for Leverage Browser Caching?
Great dude, all the best for your website!
I don’t combine images using css sprites, they are as they were by default. Cloudflare is great, for now I’m using it anyway but I’ve planned to buy cdn and ssl cert, once I start earning. 😀
And I and you have kinda same type of website. My 21 days old and yours?
Lets compete in that (if you can help me in seo) 😛
Hi Shashank,
First of all, the render blocking css warning was full of me using @import to separate CSS files on that product directory. As soon as I removed them and used a different method, it was completely gone.
The theme had some images that weren’t optimized. So, I downloaded and reduced the quality of them and then uploaded it to the server again. Also, I use WPSmush.It on the website.
As you suggested to download and use a minifier, i did it. I used both of this websites:
cssminifier.com and http://javascript-minifier.com/ – IT works great and I minified only files which were more than 3,000KB.
Its worth noting that the score drastically improved as soon as I downloaded the fonts from Google and uploaded them to my server and then added them to the Custom Font section. — I was surprised by the improvement. (Thanks Christopher for this tip!)
It isn’t possible to get 98 cause the thing is, almost all of us are using Google AdSense and it is slowing the website down. Try without AdSense and you should get 100/100 😉
Hope that helps. Also, did CloudFlare helped you gain a bit of speed?
Thanks!
Hi,
Sorry for the delay.
You cloud try something similar using VC, at this moment the theme doesn’t support this layout and you will need custom work to achieve this, unfortunately we cannot offer custom work as we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support. You can always get a freelancer from sites like: http://studio.envato.com/ if you don’t know how to do it yourself.
Sorry about this!
Thanks for the message!
If Lucian’s method seems lengthy, here’s another way.
Find the category-template.php file, in wp-includes folder.
Change ‘number’ => 100, or ‘number’ => 20, or whatever number you want.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_tag_cloud
Remember to do this again after core update.
Oh cloudflare!!
I use the page rule *styzic.com/wp-admin/* and I had selected I’m under attack so browser would not access admin-ajax.php….
So silly but Finally solved!!
Hi,
This cloud happen because of the cdn plugin you are using it’s not theme related.
You can check this topic, I have explained this more detailed: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/thumbnail-featured-image-center/#post-18473
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Hi,
1. You can use the "Homepage - bg" template with or without the article list and full layout like this: http://screencast.com/t/LXRL8Yqn and you will get this result: http://screencast.com/t/IvREH9NKGvD4
2. It’s possible, you cloud try to add your own image and then replace it within modules/sliders.. besides wordpress default cropping sizes http://screencast.com/t/ifk8fE1HYk and we added more sizes inside the functions.php file – http://screencast.com/t/2QaaubXnqxL you can also add your own there and then use it.
Those sizes are used on modules and sliders (including the Big Slider) , you can read here about the thumbs used on modules and sliders – https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules-and-blocks/
You also have to regenerate thumbs after you add a new image size.
About the cropping modes, you can create your own images sizes and use it like I said before, hare are some more info about this:
1. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size
2. http://www.davidtan.org/wordpress-hard-crop-vs-soft-crop-difference-comparison-example/
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Hi,
Glad you figured it out!
Regarding the next/prev I don’t think it would be an easy task, the theme uses an script at the end of the block which based on the id of that block when requested it’s sends that request to the server and based on the info it receives changes only that part of the page, you cloud try something like that with the tabs if you want or you could try to find another way http://screencast.com/t/HaxSlwfeP
Thanks for the message!
