You need to make the changes to any files you have modified… Yes. You dont have to redo most settings in theme panel like custom css. You might have to refresh menus and widgets, as with all theme updates.
Hello everyone!
I was recently running my website (www.christianholydays.com.au) using the Enfold wordpress theme and was receiving an average of 80 in the google page speed test. After deciding to try other wordpress themes that appeared to receive good reviews for speed, I changed over to Newspaper. I spent a couple weeks transitioning the site over to newspaper, and then received an incredible shot when I did a google page speed test:
http://grab.by/JhpM
http://grab.by/JhpO
35/100 on the mobile version, and 40/100 on the desktop version. When looking into the reason for the poor score, I discovered several issues. It appears that all of the images are being resized and instead of optimised files being delivered, full size images are being resized via css/html. This is affirmed through GT Metrix as well. GT Metrix gives 65/100 score, and states that several images are “resized in HTML or CSS from 845×475 to 178×100.”
Can someone please help me with this issue? I’ve tried to do several things to help the issue, but it doesn’t seem to be working.
I’ve currently got MAXCDN installed with additional zones, using the fastest hosting package through Siteground, purchased the ewww image compression functionality, have w3 caching plugin installed, and static/dynamic/MEM caching through my server. I’d hate to see what my score was with out any of the caching plugins! Perhaps it’d be better??
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There isn’t much point. It’s generally a dumb idea. Main reason to use one is to make “alternate” versions of a theme based on the parent.
I don’t believe in them, and stopped using them years ago. But it’s a “standard” practice with WordPress.
For our network, we edit the main files and keep track of the files and the edits; then re-apply to major theme updates as needed.
Other downside to child theme is that it’s a CSS redirect.
Others will *strongly* disagree with me, but I personally don’t use child themes for exactly the issue you just ran into. 🙂
thanks man
but its still there after using custom css..
Hi
By default the theme doesn’t have an option to hide the category description, you can remove it from category settings: http://screencast.com/t/q5KJhVuCLz or hide it with custom css:
.td-category-description{
display:none;
}
Thanks!
Hi,
I suspect it’s the admin bar css, check it in style.css – http://screencast.com/t/T5u62eBqeB
Thank you!
Hi,
We’re sorry to hear that you had issue with our theme. We make a lot of tests on each update before releasing it, unfortunately it’s impossible to replicate all conditions. There are many servers and each come with different settings.
On most cases the layout issues are caused by cache or cdn, it may still deliver an old version for some of the theme files(ex. style.css). The demos download a few images from our servers, this process should run smooth but in some rare cases the connection it too slow and results in a connection timeout. Try to install it again or try installing another demo, see if there’s a difference in behavior. Let me know how it goes.
We’re looking for an alternative to this.
If the above solutions are not working please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com , paste a link to this conversation and provide wp-admin access so we can take a look.
Thank you!
Hi
Thanks for reporting this, we will update the documentation as soon as possible. Meanwhile you can follow this links:
-ad under the main menu: http://screencast.com/t/ccxDjge2J1
-ad before the footer: http://screencast.com/t/CZL50u0Kxu
And add this custom css in theme panel custom css:
.td-container-border:before {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
left: 0px;
display: block;
content: '';
height: 100%;
width: 1px;
box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
background-color: #e6e6e6;
z-index: 0;
}
The result should be like here: http://screencast.com/t/IpHxiMYn
Thanks!
Hi
If you place the custom css or you alter the original css of the theme in the style file then that styles would load first just like you want it and without other css to overwrite it should work fine.
Make sure you do your changes to the style files then purge cdn files and empty caches and test again.
Let us know how ti goes and give us wp-access via email at contact@tagdiv.com so we can have a closer look at this if you still can’t manage to solve it.
Thanks!
Hi,
I am testing this theme API Plugin to make my own block and then edit their CSS styles.
I only added this in the original code:
<?php $subtitulo = get_post_meta( $this->post->ID, 'subtitulo', true ); ?>
<?php if (!empty($subtitulo)) { ?>
<p class="td-post-sub-title"><?php echo $subtitulo; ?></p>
<?php } ?>
<div class="td-excerpt">
<?php echo $this->get_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
But, when i put an image in one news, a big white space appear in other news like you can see in the image bellow.

Hi,
1. You have to edit the modules used on the Big Grid you want to modify : – http://screencast.com/t/sCwRQvUnffk
Then edit those modules and add the excerpt line – http://screencast.com/t/xJLYpM7oAfY
Custom css is required to integrate the newly added element.
2. You have to add a new post format, check the official documentation on this – https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Formats – the theme code is located here – http://screencast.com/t/4BW58okTz4V
For the image slider you have to use a plugin, you could try Revolution Slider , see if it’s possible to configure it the way you want – http://revolution.themepunch.com/documentation/#installation
Thank you!
Hi
The color title for blocks can be changed from Visual Composer like here: http://screencast.com/t/eFObLjpBhldY
That delay appear because first time loads the main css from the theme, then the css. To avoid it you can insert your custom css in style.css file: http://screencast.com/t/kPT8IAoa
Thanks!
Hi
I’ve added this issue on our list and we will try to fix in the next theme update, meanwhile you can try this custom css in theme panel > custom css:
.td-header-style-8 .td-header-sp-logo img, .td-header-style-8 .td-header-sp-logo a {
z-index: 1;
}
.td-header-style-8 .td-header-top-menu-full {
z-index: 0 !important;
}
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hi,
for wordpress widgets and other widgets that are not made by us you can change the color by changing the site wide accent color from the theme panel or via custom css.
If you give us a link we can try to make a css snippet for you.

Hi,
You need to make a modification to show the views.
1. Add <?php echo $this->get_views(); ?> in td_module_9.php like here: http://screencast.com/t/koCkDeey
2. Copy the function get_views() from td_module_single_base.php in td_module.php like here: http://screencast.com/t/6pDj3N6S
3. Used this CSS for a better alignment, add it in Theme Panel -> Custom CSS section
.td_module_wrap .td-module-meta-info .td-post-views {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
top: 2px;
margin-left: 14px;
color: #aaa;
}
.td_module_wrap .td-module-meta-info .td-post-views span {
margin-left: 5px;
}
Result: http://screencast.com/t/bxe0fSQep5
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
You can change the font size from here: http://screencast.com/t/SpJC8Uw6nom
To change the border size you need to use this CSS, add it in Theme Panel -> Custom CSS section

}
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
You have to delete this js code – http://screencast.com/t/qFpkkxjaCxj

height: auto;
}
.td-category-siblings .td-category .entry-category{
padding-bottom: 10px;
}

Hi,
I’ve tested tested on a module and works fine, see here:
1. added get_views();?> http://screencast.com/t/LvOEYMEb76R
2. copied the get_views() function in td_module.php from td_module_single_base.php http://screencast.com/t/6pDj3N6S
3 Used this CSS for a better alignment
.td_module_wrap .td-module-meta-info .td-post-views {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
top: 2px;
margin-left: 14px;
color: #aaa;
}
.td_module_wrap .td-module-meta-info .td-post-views span {
margin-left: 5px;
}
Result: http://screencast.com/t/IBvCvum1oP
Please check again all the steps from there, should work.
It seems like with every update your theme becomes even more terrible and buggy. Last time also during update I had to clean install whole site again due to lots of fatal errors. This time again! This time the problem was due to conflicting CSS classes of Visual Composer and main theme that made theme layout distorted. So I again reinstalled complete theme package, now when installing demo content, showing up this: http://screencast.com/t/3JJsjHrAhqn
It’s been 1 hour, it was stuck there so I had to finally cancel it and showed this error: http://screencast.com/t/EVuHkyRHxfR
My permalink structure in fine and .htaccess file is also on 644 permission.
What to do now?
TERRIBLE THEME!!!
Hi,
That’s a complicated section, try this css for a start: – http://screencast.com/t/MSOhwTCNKmL
.td-header-menu-wrap-full{
height: 100px !important;
}
.td-affix{
height: 100px !important;
}
.td-header-style-5 .black-menu {
position: relative;
top: 19px;
}
If you want to modify the height on the menu elements, logo and search use the browser inspector to find what’s the custom css used for each element and create a custom css to make them look the way you want. If you don’t have experience with this i suggest that you look for a professional developer to help you with this task.
Thank you!
Hi,
Try the following css: – http://screencast.com/t/UmZmpEDr
.category-87 .td-image-gradient-style8 {
background: white url('http://www.projecthappyhearts.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/green-nature-dual-monitor-other.jpg') no-repeat;
background-size: 1164px 400px;
}
category-87 is the unique category class, use the browser inspector to check the unique class for each category.
Thank you!

Emil thanks a lot to take a look, but my question was only about google fonts css, this 3 lines:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8sck00ye0u31v3c/Screen%20Shot%202015-07-31%20at%2015.48.47.png?dl=0
Everything else is fine for me.
Before update to last ver of theme and speedbooster i have only one load blocking js (jquery) and one css (style.css), so i just want to move this google fonts css to speedbooster again.
Any suggestions?
Hi Wasi,
We’re sorry for the long delay, we have missed your post by mistake.
I have pasted below the custom css you need to use: http://screencast.com/t/cm61IhjI
@media (max-width: 767px){
.comments, .similar-articles, .author-box-wrap {
display:none!important;
}
}
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Thanks
That’s how WordPress works — theme doesn’t manage main part of WP.
If you google this, you’ll see it’s a common issue.
No reason for anybody to go to that URL.
It may pop up temporarily in your webmaster google account, but you can ignore it; will happen when switching/updating themes.
That’s not a public location so it’s not supposed to show anything.
I would be more worried about things like this where you have an open directory… I can see this folder on the web

Hello,
What is the best way to increase the font size of the block titles?
In changing the font size, I’m going to assume the box around it will increase with it.
The other questions is if there is a recommended way to change the thickness of the line coming off the block titles.
We didn’t know if there was a feature within the theme’s administration or if we should use custom css.
Thought we would ask before we go off in the wrong direction.
Thanks.
