Search Results for 'composer'

HI, Glenn
doh. That just proves I’ve been too busy working on our main business website this past couple of weeks to even think about that or minifying my CSS, for that matter for 1.71.

I guess we might need Marius or Radu’s (et al) help on how to revise this code for the shim:

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

function dequeue_visual_composer_css() {
if (is_single()) {
wp_dequeue_style('js_composer_front');
}
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dequeue_visual_composer_css', 1003);

since the new code in header is js_composer.css and old code is js_composer.css; not sure if we have to edit the booster main function file or what ?

This is totally a question for TagDiv support, so let us poke them on this one 🙂

Hi Chris,

You added code to remove Visual Composer CSS on post pages. Could you please do same for the TD SHIM alternative?

Regards,

Glenn

Well, those are issues with WooCommerce, not the thene. So, you likely want to contact Woo for support, use their support forum, or perhaps join one of the great Facebook ‘groups’ for help with WooCommerce.

Obviously — those two errors are self explanatory. You need to contact your hosting provider.

For Visual Composer, perhaps try the full reset procedure from my sticky topic on moving to new template. Note my section on how to address the “500 error of doom” if the above suggestion didn’t work.

See bottom this post for how to recover from 500 error:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-guide-to-moving-from-newspaper-to-newsmag/

i did all of this and error 500 still here ^^

I use woocomerce plugin to check server status and i have 2 problems but i don’t know if it can explain the 500 error for Visual composer

Here are the 2 errors :

– Your server does not have the SOAP Client class enabled – some gateway plugins which use SOAP may not work as expected.

– wp_remote_get() failed. The WooCommerce plugin updater won’t work with your server. Contact your hosting provider. Status code: 403

Can u tell me ?

I have disabled all the plugins except the visual composer but no success. I dont even know what custom css is not to talk of adding it.

Are you asking about how to do a Featured Image or setting up your home page with that block?

For the big block on your home page, just use Visual Composer to add the “Big Slide” block. Then just change the settings to your liking.

Well, the shim isn’t going to replace visual composer; it’s a stop gap for those having CPU death spirals. For VC general issues, try going back to the earlier version of VC on your site (e.g., 4.4.2), which you should have from older versions unless you are first time user.

Or, if you choose to use the shim, be aware it won’t work for some of the more oddball things in VC; and it’s not optimized for the Newspaper modules – as far as I know.

For example, working here just fine:
CaliforniaNewswire.com

I have slider, lots of modules on page, and they do work.

Only a few things I was using before do not work with the shim, and I’ve just worked around that.

Sort of too bad as VC had zero problems last year and it’s only been the newer versions causing issues this year (ironically with a ton of junk added people were demanding without knowing how it would impact their little VPNs and $10/month accounts….). All the hacks to WordPress for security this year likely haven’t helped either as obviously a lot of stuff got moved around.

In any case — I’d wait for an official “can I use this with Newspaper 4” answer, as my thinking would be “maybe.”

Is this SHIM being worked on for the Newspaper theme? I have the Newspaper theme and the visual composer problem is affecting us as well? We have Newspaper 4.6.3 running on a WAMP stack. We get 2500 visits a day tops so that may be why it takes longer to affect us than larger sites?

I don’t get CPU usage warnings all I see is that the time to first byte on our site seems to slip everyday. I moved our site to an entirely different server and it helped for a day. The first day the TTFB was 900ms, today it’s 2000ms by the end of the week it’ll be back at 8000ms just like when we hosted it on a different server.

If I disable the Visual Composer, the time to first byte goes from 2000ms to 600ms.

The shim helps keep some of my article elements inline but all the columns don’t work. Disabling the Visual Composer also messes up the sliders on the front page and the shim doesn’t fix that.

Is there going to be a fix for this soon or do I need to manually rebuild my homepage?

I also noticed that if I removed and then reinstalled the Visual Composer Plugin, that it “reset” the issue and I’m back to 900ms TTFB. I presume it will just slip away again though…
