Hi,

I have installed the Medicine demo that comes with red background color for the header menu, but I do not have this problem. In your case there seems to be a delay for the background color to apply. You can try to optimize the website by installing this recommended cache plugin with the setting provided in this guide
https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
Also please check this tutorial about improving page loading speed

Hi,

Unfortunately a text logo will not be displayed on mobile, so in the absence of a logo image you must upload a different logo for the mobile theme, in the Logo for mobile section in theme panel –
https://www.screencast.com/t/Brc1EXXHx More information here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/logo-favicon/
The Big grid that displays on mobile is supposed to show featured posts, so please make sure you have posts in that category. Everything you need to know about the mobile theme is available here
https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/ and you can choose to use it on all the website or not, there is no option to have it only for some parts of the site.
Please note that the theme is testes and works properly, if your website is slow there are multiple factors that can affect the speed, like plugins for example or modifications to the theme files. If you want to test this, please disable all your plugins except the ones bundled with the theme, remove any modifications made if there are any, clear any caching installed then check the results. You can also use the links provided above to make the site faster.
You can see here for example the time the website spends to load resources
https://www.screencast.com/t/C1dzNcjIst
And that can only be caused by the factors mentioned.

Thanks

No, right answer: the whole idea is to move away from “theme shortcodes” and use agnostic shortcodes not tied to themes. Theme shortcodes based on CSS have nothing to do with VC. Speaking as a 22 year wevdev, and 12 year WordPress dev.

Again – plenty of very simple plugins which allow you to add custom shortcodes to the editor, for things like the typical Bootstrap style buttons, wells, panels, alert boxes, etc. — all these plugins do is add some additional CSS for you for the styles you wish.

Frankly, if you learn to code with WP, you can even very simply add your own CSS shortcodes and functions in the functions.php file. There are even online shortcode generators you can use, like so: https://generatewp.com/shortcodes/

However – to make my point:
For example, this one has over 600,000 installs; you could have installed it faster than arguing with me on how to resolve your query:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcodes-ultimate/

(( I don’t work here and do not speak for TagDiv ))

Hello polys_a,

Please notice that the speed of your website depends on how well your site is optimized. Notice that is not a simple task and if you do not have any experience in this regard you will do not bring good results for the theme. Also, notice that we have a speed optimization tutorial but this is addressed only to advanced users. So, if you follow the steps which are presented in this tutorial here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ you can increase the page speed loading and if you are not aware of the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because the speed optimization services is not covered by our support policy, as you can read here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/support-policy-2/ Check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ regarding on dedicated server to fit to our requirements.
Unfortunately, our theme does not have such an option to minify the style.css file and we cannot recommend any plugins with this functionality because is not tested with our theme. For minifying this file, we are using CloudFlare for our demo and works fine. If you want to read other views from our users, please check this topic -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tip-how-to-easily-minify-your-css-without-breaking-your-site/

One of our top members here on the forum wrote his own optimization tutorial here:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-chriss-custom-optimizations-for-functions-php-etc/ and here -> https://www.infophilic.com/get-almost-100-pagespeed-newspaper-theme/

Please keep in mind that at the moment, we cannot provide optimization services because this task involve time-consuming and we do not afford to do this, sorry! We only can provide support for basic theme settings.
If you are not aware of these steps which are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry!

Hi,

Please try to disable all your plugins except Visual composer and the mobile theme plugin, clear any caching installed, and check again. The mobile theme is fully tested and it is working properly, maybe a plugin is interfering with it.
If you would like to make the website faster, it is recommended to use this caching plugin
https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/ with that configuration
Also please check this available tutorial about improving page speed on your website
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/

Thanks

The whole idea is to move away from VC shortcodes and use something that loads the post faster. From my end I am looking to Tinymce shortcodes.

Hello,

1) I suggest using a different machine or a different browser as we do not seem to be getting these issue son our end.

2) People usually use ‘mailchimp’ for changing the default WordPress email

2.1) Sorry but we have not tested linking our login modal to a plugin. This represents customization and falls beyond what the theme support can offer you. Sorry.

5) The line does not come from the font but rather the quote style you choose: https://www.screencast.com/t/SpwC5Yr59

6,7,8) Unfortuantely it seems you did not follow this guide properly: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Here is what google mentions should be improved: https://www.screencast.com/t/J5OmhLPTf
You need to follow the guide and use google’s instructions on how to make the recommended changes.

9) Yes there seems to be an issue in the theme regarding the logo on header style 8. I added this to our bug list and we wil fix it in the next version of the theme.

11) If you have the latest version of the theme we recommend PHP 7.0 as it.s faster that the previous versions. DO NOT however install version 7.1 as you will face errors that will not go away even after rolling back to 7.0

Thank you!

Hi,

We have not had any negative feedback regarding this. Please make sure that you use the latest version of the theme and the plugins bundled in the package.
The theme has these server requirements – https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ and requires modifications to be made to some parameters if needed – https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
It is recommended to use WP Super Cache – https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/ with the theme. There is also an available tutorial about improving website performance – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
If you are saying that everything was fine before moving to the new host, maybe the problem is there since we have no complaints regarding this issue and everything is working as intended. Please let us know how it goes.

Thank you for understanding!

Hello,

Thank you for your appreciation.

1) I have tested your site on mac but could not see the line you mention. https://www.screencast.com/t/kHdvVpdbcJUN

2) Our theme has a custom login already which can be accessed on the front-end: https://forum.tagdiv.com/login-how-to-enable-user-registration/https://www.screencast.com/t/D0BiMNXRTqyG

3) sorry but there is no gradient color section for the header and footer but you can add a footer background image: https://www.screencast.com/t/rKgVA4TL
For the header it can only be done with custom css.

4) Sorry but only by using the obile theme can you have a separate menu for mobile devices.

5) The quotes can be changed from the fonts option: https://www.screencast.com/t/tcwLRz4daHU

6) and 7) It is ok as there are no restrictions in this regard. It will load all of the elements, yes, but you should not experience drastic loading speed drops. It is recommended to increase your overall loading speed by using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ and increase your system status parameters like so: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
lease only use wp super cache and these settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/ if you plan on using a cdn server: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/

8) This topic explains how to use speedbooster together with other plugins: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tinymce-advanced-and-other-various-disabling-speed-boster/

9) Please provide an example as the image is not working

10) The validator also provides errors for ALL of the well known sites including google, facebook, Amazon, Yahoo, etc. We have stopped trusting it 🙂

Thanks

Hi,

Basically the theme has these requirements as specified here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ in order to get the best results. Some further modifications are recommended to be made according to this guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
If all these simple conditions are met it is recommended to use a caching plugin and the CDN as mentioned in the previous reply. Also a tutorial about improving page loading speed is available here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ meant to help you optimize website speed.
Some of these recommendation are not mandatory and a website can work properly without them. Please note that some plugins can have a negative effect on websites and cause unexpected results, so you should test this using only the latest version of the plugins, provided in the theme package.

Thank you for understanding!

Hi

>>>
Optimization was made overall >>> So basically same issue, no specific menu speed was addressed..

I looked at the demo

I have no image in the background,
I havent seen the latest, but I fear the same animation in the background can cause issues so will keep the setting I have now where I replaced your menu to something faster which has no issues

Anyway, thanks, until you acknowledge and address the issues, I think I’ll keep the new settings I have as its got us better engagement

We realised that this element wp-content/themes/Newspaper/js/tagdiv_theme.js?ver=7.6
owns a very long download time and does have a huge influence on page loading time.

Can you tell me how this gets faster?

Bogdan B.
tagDiv Staff

Hello Ivan,

First let’s start by removing autoptimize. That makes things worse. Please remove any customization you made and revert the theme. Please disable all plugins except the tested and recommended ones: https://www.screencast.com/t/VOeWxr4li6Y
Please make sure you increase the system status parameters like so: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
The use this guide to increase your site speed: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Make sure you use a caching plugin like so: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/

Thank you!

Hi,

Please note that page speed optimization does not depend entirely on these plugins. There are many factors that can negatively interfere with page loading. Please follow these guides carefully, for the cache plugin configuration – https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/ and for page speed optimization – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ This should optimize the loading time on your site as best as possible, also please try to make the tests without any plugins except the ones bundled with the theme, for more accurate results, because some plugins could have a big impact in this matter.

Thanks

Thank you. I took a poll on facebook and everyone could see the site. So I am not sure why the one woman was seeing “Oooops error 404″.

I have condensed my front page down…. and I am working on making it faster. Looking through the documents on this forum to do that.

Thank you for your reply Chris.

Hi,

I have inspected your site but it seems to be loading fine now – https://www.screencast.com/t/gUCdLSvovUA nowhere near the two minutes you are experiencing. You are right, some plugins could slow down the page speed loading.
