Re, Font Awesome:
I think the theme uses the built-in icons from Bootstrap 3 (aka “Glyphicons”). Adding Font Awesome would slow down the site a little bit, even if loaded off the CDN.

Still, you could likely simply add this in the appropriate place:
(likely in the header section, and/or in the td speed booster plugin)

<link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.1.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

Hi,

This can be done by adding custom CSS in the Theme Panel, like this:

.header-search-wrap {
display: none;
}

Thank’s for your question,

hi,
marius forgot to put the !important kwyword in the css rules.
put this code :

@media (max-width: 767px) {
   .td-header-menu-wrap {
       display: block !important;
   }
} 

here: http://screencast.com/t/pGdM4vDgP

result: http://screencast.com/t/IVTKQfij

as the width of the site gets smaller the menu will start to be ugly.
like marius said this task require custom work. if you are not a developer please hire one for this task.

Thanks for you message.

hi,
lets start from the begging, the reason way google is giving that “Remove render…..” is because when the source of the site get downloaded and loads into the browser it find resources like css and javascript files, font file, etc and the browser stop the downloading of the page to start downloading the other files (css, javascript files) and google says that is better to download the source of the page first and at the end to download other resources.

now that we found what happens, moving the css and javascript code at the bottom of the page – I think ???- it can be done by doing something like :
keep the style.css of wordpress, but put all the code in another css file, then
read the file and put the readed content between <style> and </style> in the
footer of your site (probably thru the use of hooks). do the same for javascript
files(need to use the <script> and </script> tags).

Now imagine that for every plugin that have css files and/or javascript files you need to do this reading of files and pasting in the bottom of the page. Is hard to do this but will insure that message “Remove render …..” will disappear.

==== about speed buster
all that td-speed-booster is doing is to move the javascript files from the header of the page to the bottom of the page. in theory this will have to increase the speed in google pagespeed application, but in your case seems that it fails, really don’t know way, this has to be checked.

Thanks for you message.

hi,
all that td-speed-booster is doing is to move the javascript files from the header into the footer, this will increase the pagespeed in google speed aplication, however td-speed-booster duos not know how to move all the javascript files from all the plugins that you have. revolution slider is working because with no speed buster, no javascript file is moved down.

to have the speed buster activated you need to remove all the plugins that have javascript files and td-speed-booster duos not know how to move them.

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.

@THOR
for testing actual speed you likely need to turn off some of the external elements like social media plugin, advertising, etc.

Try testing with GTMetrix instead as it will SHOW you where the problems are and how to fix.

Also, rather than set expiration headers with plugin, you can do magic with the .htacess file settings I note in this forum (not for use with nginx). Much more efficient.

Thanks Radu,

I was using that header and uploading a transparent .gif background. When I saved it as a .png (same file) it now shows as a transparent background. Strange. So do I use a logo that’s 1200 x 400 for the Retina logo upload?

Thanks again,

Suzanne

That should be very easy look for “create a new menu” then after drag the page to that menu that you created for the header,then you have to creat another menu for the footer,so in total you need 2 menus..

Btw this is not a theme issue why you not went to wordpress forms for help because this is more about wordpress and not the theme…

Thanks.

>> “The page you made,after you have to go in “Appearance” then MENU after look for the page you made and when you do choose header for that page and disable the headers for that page at the bottom of the menu settings”

Under APPEARANCE -> MENU, I was unable to find how to set a menu for only one page. I found the page we made on the left side, but was only able to select it to be included INTO a menu. Couldn’t find how to specify one page to have a different menu configuration than the others.

Btw you have to create a MENU just for that page to edit the header and footer settings so they will not show on your blank page..

The page you made,after you have to go in “Appearance” then MENU after look for the page you made and when you do choose header for that page and disable the headers for that page at the bottom of the menu settings and you do the same for the footer these settings will be only for that “BLANK PAGE” not the rest of the site,so in the theme settings where i send you before don’t used those settings used the ones only for the page you made…

>> “You have to make a page just for this for it to work”

Yes, we have already created a page that we want to be blank, but disabling the menus, header and footer in theme settings as you suggested also disables them site-wide, so could you please explain in a bit more detail how your solution allows one page only to be blank while preserving menus, header and footer on the rest of the pages?

>> “i already told you how to get it done and you still saying this not work etc..”

If we misunderstand something then please clear up the confusion, because your solution as stated will not work for us in our situation.

Thanks!

For the menu go in the theme settings and then header and choose MAIN MENU and in the drop down just choose “NONE” and for the footer you do the same choose”NONE” and after you choose “Homepage-Blank” you will see nothing is on the page…

Hi Steven,

Thanks for your feedback. When I select “Homepage – Blank” I get a page which still shows menu, header and footer, so that unfortunately isn’t the solution for our needs.

We are in urgent need of a truly blank page template which is 100% BLANK. Zero showing on the page, pure white. No header, no menu, no sidebar, no footer, no post loop, nothing. Sorry to say it again and again but it has to have absolutely NOTHING whatsoever on it.
