hi again, thanks for your reply,

2.Second in a post of this page i want the date in header’s picture to be removed http://iserres.gr/cityzen/
3.In my first demo page the weather widget works great with greekcharacters, you can check it here http://www.atantou.com
Now in the http://www.iserres.gr, i make the same changes (insert same greek .po and .mo files) and insert at the wp-config.php the code “define (‘WPLANG’, ‘el_GR’) but the characters still to be english. Also i try to copy all the files from atantou/…./plugins/weather-widjet and install it to iserres/…./plugins/weather-widget but nothing changed. Do you have any idea why this happened??
thank a lot for your answers

I also have the exact same set of error messages on my site, except for the different domain. Fresh WordPress install, only Newsmag and Newsmag-child themes installed. This is the second install that has failed.

The first install I went ahead and began installing the plugins, thinking that might be an issue, but that threw error messages requiring a wipe and reinstall (in a completely different directory).

FWIW this is a standard installation of WordPress through my host using Softaculous.

Avast often has false positives; which is why we don’t use it anymore. And, we had two machines infected while running their most expensive platform. We switched to Malwarebytes Anti-malware Premium, along with the builtin security on Windows 7 and have zero problems and it only catches “real” threats.

Note the big button “upgrade now” .. funny how they discovered something which wants to sell you an upgrade?

If you ran other anti-virus scans and threat checkers, and got nothing that should tell you something.

We’ve been using this theme a year, manage our own server, and have ZERO security issues.

THERE IS a known cross-site scripting flaw in WordPress 3.9 (prior to 4.0), which you should have already addressed by clean install. Some third party plugins can also become corrupted. We had that happen to one of our sites recently, where ironically fast secure contact form, was in fact not secure (!).

Point being, I don’t personally trust Avast on this kind of thing.

I have just re-installed wordpress. Same thing comes up again.
I activated the Twenty Fourteen theme and the problem didn’t happen.
I re-activated newsmagazine theme and the problem started happening again.
I also de-activated W3 Total Cache settings and re-enabled, tried enabling minify aswell to check and warnings flashing up saying minify is infected to.

I ran securi scans, exploit scanner and all coming back with no problems found.

I installed the update, deleted and reinstalled the Visual Compose plugin, the homepage still wont save, an updating circle just keep on turning. when I add a template or element it is there but when I update it is gone.

I already have W3 Total Cache enabled, but I had to switch of minify as the front end of the site just becomes a blank white page when enabled.

I also have force gzip plugin installed in wordpress which worked great in the past for my compression.

Page Rank is saying I need to lower the size of css, but I dont really want to tinker with it.

No one? Maybe it’s not possible, if is the case can I disable the build in function to install a external plugin?

Thank you,
Vitor

You don’t need to post the same thing over and over.

Try testing your site with GTMetrix.com as it will tell you specifically what your site problems are and classify them by things like “Server” “Images” etc., with explanations.

Did you setup gzip/deflate on your server? [looks like you did!]

Did you edit your htaccess file (if applicable) to add expiration headers (e.g., mod_expires settings)?

Did you install an optimization plugin for images/thumbnails or change the default setting in your functions.php file?

Are you using the tagdiv speed booster plugin?

Did you disable system hogs like jetpack? Disable all plugins you’re NOT using?

Are you using a caching plugin once all of the above is working?

based on this you have some issues:
http://gtmetrix.com/reports/crnjaci.com/fxrIs409

1) you’re loading images off wp.com instead of your own locale; using a CDN for un-optimized images doesn’t make them load any better
2) you need to add instruction to the functions.php file to remove query strings (see my help on that in the pagespeed sticky topic)
3) you have some ridiculously huge images….

Looks like you need to seriously look at your image optimization problems as your images look to be way too big when actually served on the pages.

Wny would you have a 250kb+ image file? A 1024×768 image if properly optimized should be no more than maybe 75kb.

BTW: optimizing your server/site for PageSpeed is YOUR job, not the theme’s job. Good to learn how to do this by reading up on the topic on Google as well as the docs provided with the theme as a courtesy.

Hi
theme uses a custom font for all the little icons which is more efficient than loading a graphic a million times with CSS (sprites). E.g., using FontAwesome or similar. What you’re seeing is the font not loading and hence you get “broken” icons that look like [].

The only issue with this is that for folks using a CDN, there is a cross-site security setting that most people using CDNs don’t know anything about unless they have run into this before.

In fact, there is a setting you would need to create for the font file if loading off the CDN, called a “CORS” file. You should see the docs for your CDN on how to do this.

Or, simply load the custom font file off your local server – which with many CDNs you do by creating an “exception” in your CDN setup to NOT load the font file(s) on the CDN and leave on the domain where the site happens to be. This will often be simpler method for those who don’t want to deal with setting up a CORS file.

Great article from 2013 which helped me with this issue when we were setting up a CDN; we had to create CORS entry. Later we chose to simply load off our local server (where the domain and WP are installed): (THIS EXAMPLE IS FOR AMAZON, BUT SIMILAR PRACTICE WOULD APPLY TO ALL CDNs):
http://schock.net/articles/2013/07/03/hosting-web-fonts-on-a-cdn-youre-going-to-need-some-cors/

Info from MaxCDN
http://support.maxcdn.com/how-to-use-cdn-with-webfonts/

Probably admin here will need to make a very short tutorial on this topic, since more and more people are using CDNs, without actually knowing how they work. 🙂

If you already borked your install and are getting server 500 error or similar you will need to do common procedure to reset WordPress:

1) login via FTP, manually delete both Newspaper and Newsmag themes so that all that is in theme folder is default themes; this forces WordPress to restart with default theme

2) manually delete the Visual Composer plugin so there is no VC folder in plugins

3) rename your plugins folder to pluginsX

4) login successfully

5) go to theme panel and SELECT your default twenty-twelve theme to CLEAR the prior selection in dbase of the Newspaper or Newsmag theme no longer running

6) logout

7) via FTP or server side file manager, rename plugins back to plugins

8) login and make sure site is working

9) then do CLEAN install of the Newsmag theme, plugins

(admin feel free to add this to docs if you wish)

Chris

Try this:
1) make backup of your site files, as per usual good practices; use tools to export your database from WP panel. Backup images.

Clear cache.

2) make sure you’re running latest version of WordPress (4.1); v 3.9x has cross-site scripting vulnerability; v4.0 has bugs, fixed in 4.1.

3) switch to default theme (e.g., twenty-twelve); do this before disabling visual composer!!!!!

Clear cache again, as applicable.

4) disable ALL plugins

5) DELETE the original theme folder, delete the original plugins for theme (TD speed booster, TD social, Visual Composer)

Then follow my posts on best way to install theme:

================================================
Make sure you upload only the main theme files; don’t install the “all files” zip from ThemeForest… that has docs, psd files, plugins, etc.

You want to install the smaller of the two files on Themeforest, if you’re installing via theme panel with .zip.

BEST WAY TO INSTALL WP THEMES:
Ideal way is still to
1) unzip theme folder “Newsmag” on your HD
2) upload via FTP/SFTP to your /wp-content/themes/ folder
3) upload the plugins unzipped to /wp-content/plugins/
4) switch to default theme from your old theme [should already be done for migration]
5) turn off *all* running plugins [should already be done for migration]
6) clear your cache(s), turn off caching (!),
7) activate the Visual Composer plugin
8) activate the new Newsmag theme
9) launch the theme panel
10) reactivate only the plugins you 100% need to make sure they work (some plugins WILL NOT WORK properly with WP 4.01 until you update the plugins!).

Clear the cache in your WEB BROWSER FULLY and restart web browser; this clears any CSS/Java used by your previous theme admin, and theme, so that you see the new CSS/JS properly (seriously, this is cause for huge number of “my new theme doesn’t load right” or “admin panel doesn’t have any boxes!” errors).

If you’re running WordPress older than 4.0 be aware there is a very serious cross-site scripting vulnerability (e.g., WP 3.9.2). You should be running WP 4.0+ to use this theme properly.

This is standard practice for switching to a brand new theme and good habit to get into doing it this way to ensure you clear cobwebs on old, and cleanly move to new.

Hope that helps! 🙂

ADVANCED USERS:
if you or somebody else optimized your site for better PageSpeed score and increase dbase efficiency, by editing the wop-config.php file to add absolute paths to the theme folder, you will need to remove that line prior to doing any theme switch. Some people forget this step and immediately get a server error trying to change themes in the WP admin panel. You should be making backups of your wp-config.php folder periodically anyway and never hurts to open it and view from time to time.
