Hi Chris – appreciate that 🙂 Old code that we knew worked was quickly dropped in simply to get an image into the post so we could run auto post thumbnails – but as we now know it doesn’t harvest post images that are inserted via custom fields – so it was deleted 🙁 Now trying to implement it (properly with CSS) since we can’t easily get around the featured image problem.

FYI, for those curious –
couple of things I’ve noticed

1) ad loading seems to slow down page more than it used to;

2) apparently it is better to use the long https://?= URL for embedding YouTube videos on post vs the http shortcode since it’s a redirect.

3) optimizing font loading is still a huge hairy deal to deal with, and to optimize site one must consider adding font calls to style.css at end and remove from the functions and/or the speedbooster functions file (depending on theme version); theme uses 3 Google fonts by default

4) running 3 ads on page does slow it down vs 2

this page has GTMetrix score of “95” without fully optimizing font loading, and need to remove the redundant images being loaded in footer for latest items.

still, page load time is slower than it could be.

When I optimized the crap out of Newspaper a few months back; I optimized font loading, and also had only text ads loading from AdSense. Funky thing with that is Google now loads unoptimized favicons with some text ads which will fail the image dimensions test, and nothing can be done about it. Full stop.

So, I’ll be playing with this a bit more this month, as I did with the Newspaper theme a year ago, and may have a little “insane optimization” guide for y’all.

Like adding expiration headers for the icon font to the htaccess file 😉

Same here. Just updated to 1.4 yesterday (Jan. 10); no other plugins updated except the two plugins included with theme (speedbooster and social). WP 4.1, everything else up to date.

So, yes, looks like a bug.

I did manually minify my style.css, but that is just basic minification and doesn’t impact stuff like the bullet points.

In “theory” we might be able to do something temporarily like

ul {list-style-type:circle; color:#000}

I could not do this by editing the style.css. I changed some things but not altered the width of the layout.

What can I do?

Check the changelog to make sure you don’t need to replace files in the child theme also.

With a fairly new theme, the child theme can actually change dramatically and you may need to do clean install of child theme and then add your custom css and functions to the new versions of the child theme files.

May not apply to you, but this same issue happened with Newspaper theme the first 2 months. Theme went through rapid changes, so the child them changed with the main theme quite a bit, which sort of defeats purpose of child theme.

I find it’s safer to mod the main theme, and remove one CSS redirect, which Google prefers even though the WordPress folks love to do that.

Well, using basic CSS would be good … “centre” is not a CSS class.

Also using the normal WordPress image classes for alignment might work, too

class=”alignright” ?

The WordPress Codex is a great place to learn about using basic WordPress CSS classes:

For Comment Icon edit you style.css on Line #7178 —>
.td-module-comments {
background-color: #you color code;

OK – we’ve started migrating the content – and we’ve edited the loop.single templates to pull in the custom field for the image by adding this just before <?php echo $td_mod_single->get_content();?>:

<table width="300px" border="0" align="right" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td><?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Image', true) ) { ?>
ID, "Image", true); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" width="300px" border="0" style="padding: 0px;" align="centre"/>
<?php } else { ?>
<?php } ?></td>
</tr>
</table>


It’s working fine – but we just have a small, cosmetic formatting issue – the table holding the image is the full width of the page – ideally we want it set as just 300px wide and aligned right – so that the content wraps around the left of the table.

Can you help with necessary css code to achieve this? There are in excess of old 10,000 articles in the database.

This should work fine while we generate new post thumbnails with Auto Post Thumbnail Pro.
