Search Results for 'ftp'

AH! Yes… in fact, I just did this same upgrade process to my 2 sites running theme on Friday. Went perfectly. Just over-wrote files via FTP, then deleted the one old bakery folder, installed plugins, then over-wrote my mods to the functions.php and style.css, and two module files, single-loop file, done. Everything worked!

Yep same issue I have with many themes, browser, etc.

Again, simply copy the URL for the image in your repository, then paste that URL in the box for the logo, press save. If you go back to the logo options, it will now be there. No FTP required.

I see this with some themes from major companies, and some themes do not. It’s an Ajax/Java issue between the WP panel, theme panel, and browser.

I’m sure Radu et al will look at that issue, but it’s fairly common, and can change from each version of browser, theme and WordPress, in my experience.

Thanks for your reply. I use other themes on other sites. Themes I used include Steam, Orion Press, Bucket, SmartMag and they all open the WP-media manager to manage logo, fevicon etc and it works fine. It’s only Newpaper theme which has this issue 🙂

Since we have 2 editors who manage content, they are not at all versed with FTP and WP interface is what they are used to.

As you can see in video below I was on Explicit theme and when clicked on logo upload option it opened the wp-media manager

This has been an issue with all themes for years, not just Newspaper.

We’ve found it’s simpler to FTP up the logo, then put in the URL to logo. such as mysite/images/logo2014_600x200.png (or whatever), then save, them reload page and the link will be there. Super annoying. I gave up on the upload function looooong time ago.

Not sure that helps, but it’s what I do on my dozen or so websites now. Especially if using Internet Explorer on Win7.

If you don’t want to FTP, you can still upload logo with media manager, make note of URL, then put in the full URL in the theme panel(s) for logo.

I would likely try simply unzip the plugins on your hard drive, then manually FTP to your plugins folder.

This is usually from you changing your permalink structure and not creating 301 redirects to the original content; or you have something being loaded from your site out of the Newspaper folder which is not found. Often reinstalling theme will fix this kind of thing, as a file didn’t fully upload the first time.

At least that happened to me once. I made the mistake of using my FTP software to decompress the zip, and files were missing.

Multumesc, Marius! Am reusit sa fac actualizarea prin metoda ftp, iar totul a decurs asa cum trebuie, nu am pierdut nicio setare, nimic.

Sunt foarte multumit de tema Newspaper, dar as dori sa semnalez cateva mici erori:

• Butonul de partajare prin Pinboard nu este afisat corect dupa incarcarea corecta. In timpul incarcarii am observat ca este afisat precum celelalte trei butoane, dar dupa ce incarcarea s-a finalizat, se schimba in butonul clasic – http://www.screencast.com/t/kvcUBLDAY
• Legat de traducere, toate optiunile functioneaza, mai putin doua dintre ele: “We’re sorry, but the page you are looking for doesn’t exist./If you’re not happy with the results, please do another search.” Orice as scrie in campurile lor nu se salveaza
• Reclamele nu sunt afisate dupa optiunile selectate manual. De exemplu la unitatea de anunturi Top Article, am lasat pe auto toate optiunile mai putin cea pentru Desktop, unde am selectat 320/200, dar in continuare este afisata o unitate de anunturi ingusta
• Pe forum, Breadcrumb-ul Forums nu face trimitere la pagina de pornire a forumului, ci la aceeasi pagina pe care te afli

O alta problema, nu stiu daca de tema sau de ce este generata, are legatura cu partajarea pe Facebook. Orice articol doresc sa il partajez pe Facebook, previzualizarea, imaginea, si titlul nu sunt afisate,ci, in schimb, apare un cod: http://www.screencast.com/t/8tpuatxY.

Multumesc pentru ajutor si va felicit pentru tema grozava!

1) remove all external loading elements like social media, advertising, recaptcha, and anything which loads css or js as part of its content; anything not part of the theme

2) use the minification tools I’ve suggested in the pagespeed sticky topic – such as online minification tools, or use the GTMetrix optimized versions provided during the site scan

Basically you need to take the CSS and JS files which PageSpeed is saying need to be minified, and then copy those from your theme directory, minify them, then save the minified version over the original.

One tool to minify the CSS is here:
http://cssminifier.com/

or
http://gpbmike.github.io/refresh-sf/

After you have your minified versions, say of style.css you would need to FTP the minified version(s) to your web site into the wp-content/themes/newspaper folder in the appropriate place.

NOTE: you need to clear all caching, turn OFF caching, and then upload the optimized versions, so that the new versions get cached not the old ones.

3) see 2

If you have a page speed of “82”
then be sure to
1) have faster web hosting account
2) ensure that gzip/deflate are working on your server (mandatory!)
3) enable expires headers (mandatory!)
4) optimize your images

All of this is well covered in the PageSpeed sticky topic in the forum. Optimization of your server, content, and htaccess or nginx config files are not part of the theme.

There is no way for you to optimize external content such as AdSense, AddThis, Recaptcha, Disqus, etc. which are not being served on your actual site.

For max speed you will need to use web safe fonts (not Google fonts), and then comment out the fonts in your functions.php file.

Thanks – Have uploaded this newer version via ftp replacing the existing .zip

I will check later in the day if it is still working but for now it’s working.

@christopher

can you tell me more about compressing thumbs?
Let’s say you have one image and have uploaded it to server. Once you select it as a featured image, the theme generates 3 images. For big slide, category slider, and for the post itself. Now are you telling me that all these images can be compressed via functions.php or a plugin? I can’t say I love installing plugins, and just because of that I thought I could get at ftp once in a while in order to download images and reupload them after compressing. But I’d like to hear more about that php line you mentioned or plugins you have experienced.

I have managed to handle them.
For the slider, just added one more post then slider appeared on homepage, no problem.

for the image, reuploaded the image after enabling cropping.

Everything is fine now.

Just a little question. my pagespeed is 97(mobile) and 88. Of course I wanna keep them, but after the images, google wants me to optimize them. I was wondering if I could get them from ftp and compress then reupload. It would be okay, wouldnt it?

Thanks Radu – I have received the files and uploaded via ftp but the problem remains, twitter count is not working. The file shows it was last modified 15 May 2014 if this was the latest version?

Hi Radu,

It’s http://e8d.7b1.myftpupload.com. The NextGEN plugin works fine in posts, but not in the static page builder.

Thank you!

Hi @Radu yes, because I didn’t deinstall 3.3 in the first place. I’m new to WP so to try and avoid screwing everything up X-) I installed 3.8 under a modified theme name and that means I can switch between the two at the moment.

I did try FTP first but my Filezilla display is different to the instructional video…I will have another go.
