Hi
I am trying to optimize some pagespeed requirements and I got this error when JS fix render-blocking:
tdBlock is not defined
Apparently everything is working because this is somehow related to… pulldown? Not using it right now. Code is at the end of wp_booster but I’m not sure if should I disable this or where to do it?
Hi,
We have not had any other bad reports regarding the latest WordPress update. You could try to reinstall WordPress as well, then install the theme by FTP
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Install only the plugins that are provided in the theme package, and see if everything is working properly.
Basically these are the theme requirements for the server, along with the parameters mentioned in the previous guide provided by Catalin
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
The theme is compatible with PHP versions up to 7.1.
Please let us know if you still have a problem using the theme.
Thanks
Well, remember the “theme” is not slow with F Rating — your site/setup is. Two totally different things. You also need to test with adverts off.
You need to do all the stuff noted on GTmetrix for your setup, from time to live, to gzip, to regenerating your images with compression, limiting calls to outside sites as that all slows things down, if using avatar photos use a local gravatar plugin, make sure you have enough RAM allocated, try to avoid plugins that do popups or rolls downs, avoid large background images (anything over 40k will massively slow down a page), consider using web-safe fonts and NOT a bunch of Google fonts; don’t use child theme as it’s a redirect; make sure you’re using PHP 5.6 or higher with opcache turned on (5.4 is a dog and way out of date; 5.2/5.3 are obsolete and should not be used unless no other choice for old code — which doesn’t apply to WordPress). Stuff like that.
Don’t use the lazy load animation on your posts/pages – disable that ‘effect.’ Consider not using the extra modules like related/more from other, or story ‘more to read’ flyout.
Get a good baseline for streamlined site, good page score — then turn on bells and whistles, evaluate the performance hit, and make choices.
I just switched all my AdSense ads to text-only, as I got sick of the 20 stupid crappy image, cookies and poor optimization of Google’s 10 year old image serving system. Their own ad server doesn’t meet modern pagespeed requirements, so why use it?
For example: I just did an install here; starting speed with 78; regenerated all thumbs with a compression factor of 50; switched off Google fonts, and moved to text ads; speed went to 90 with ads ‘on’ ! All that stuff seriously adds up.
Not sure if any of that helps. I was early adopter of Newspaper, Newsmag, and WPion. So, kinda a dinosaur around here. You might find my ancient thread helpful in the documentation > tutorials > DIY > best of forums. Maybe not.
Anyway – I have a 90 score right now, with no caching plugin and have not yet compressed the main style.css or main .js files, which should gain couple of points right there.
Hi,
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 are 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. For an example, you should check our demo preview because this website is optimized.
Thanks for your understanding!
Just to note I’ve used FB IA for the last year (on and off not all posts of course)
However I code them manually, you can’t have the beauty of FB IA through RSS (which I assume you’re using?) – so for some posts I code in FB – thats when you can remove these errors…
I’m not sure any theme can guarantee all code sent through vis RSS meets FB IA requirements, just like it may not for AMP without plugin help
Just ideas, I’m sure the authors will also respond

In a blog post I wish to have an image which, on a mouse click displays a larger version of the image. All standard stuff so far. The issue is that when I click on the smaller image an error appears in the modal image viewer instead of the larger image. The error is ‘The image #1 could not be loaded’, however if I click the ‘>’ (next image) arrow it loads the correct image at the correct size.
I have tried the following:
I have followed the tutorial about using Modal Image to the letter with Modal Image switched on and off on the specific image settings.
I have also tried with General Modal Image switched on and off in the theme settings.
This is a recent installation (Saturday) of the latest version of WordPress and I am only running the theme plugins.
The image that is supposed to load on click is the same image that is displayed smaller in the post. The URL for the image was populated automatically when I selected Media File and is correct.
With any combination of the two Modal Image options I get the same result ‘The image #1 could not be loaded’. It seems as though the theme is trying to load another image before the one that I specified but it can’t be found.
During the weekend I searched the forum for this error and it seems that a number of users are experiencing it. So far I haven’t been able to find one that includes a solution. Being able to add an image that can be enlarged within a page or post seems to be one of the most primary requirements of any theme so I am hoping someone will be able to help me with a solution.
Many thanks.
Hi,
I have edited the topic title, please do not post or use sensitive information on the forum. The forum is public, for everyone to see.
We have not made any tests for functionality in those conditions. Basically these are the theme requirements needed
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
And these settings for the server and WordPress parameters
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
The theme should function if these requirements are as mentioned. Here are some installation guides as well
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/

Thanks
Hi,
No, it does not seem to be the page complexity the case here.
I might check the plugins as they can cause this kind of issues as well. Try to disable all plugins except the page builder and clear all caching. Then test again and see if the load is the same.
Please also make sure you meet the requirements for the theme:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Test again after everything is in check .
Thanks.
Hello,
There are many things that can affect the cpu load.
Please follow these topics:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/high-cpu-usage-and-caching-issues/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/100-cpu-when-using-visual-composer-after-site-migration/
Basicaly you need to limit your complex elements on the pages, try not to use visual composer but rather use our own tagdiv composer and make sure you meet the requirements and memory allocation needed.
Thanks.
Hello shaker,
Notice that problem could have more reasons and not necessarily guilty is our theme. First of all, you should check the minimum requirements which are recommended for your dedicated server, like this -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ Also, check your system status parameters to be according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Please follow this topic for more details as to why this happens:

I’m having no luck getting td_composer plugin to work on my site.
Problem: Once plugin is activated, I can’t access backend of my site – page just won’t load. After pages stalls, I can’t access any pages on my site frontend or backend until I delete td_composer, clear cache, and completely restart browser.
Could this have something to do with it being a multi site install of wordpress? I very much want to transition to the new composer, but after two days of trying everything already suggested, I don’t know how much more time and energy I can expend.
Steps taken:
Please help! Can I send login credentials?
Also note PHP 5.3 is very very old also, and new version of WP is not optimized to work with it.
https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/
From WP 4.8 onward, it’s optimized for PHP 7, but 5.6.30 would be *highly* recommended if you are running latest WP and cannot start migration to PHP7.
We use PHP 5.6.30 with opcache which is the closest you can get to PHP 7 without actually using it, but retain some backward compatibility while migrating, and planning to move fully to PHP 7 for 2018.
Seriously — 5.3 is ancient, 5.4 is a dog. 5.6 and above is the only thing you *should* be using with WP 4.8 and higher.
You can get up to 30% improvement in PHP speed, and stop those bizarro old CPU spikes from 5.2./5.3 era.
Here are some interesting benchmarks from way back in 2014; and 5.6 has improved since then since some of the work on v7 is backported to 5.6 for security/compatibility:
https://lornajane.net/posts/2014/php-5-6-benchmarks
(( I don’t work here; but we did big PHP upgrade last Sept., and *wow* what a difference. ))

Hi,
You can use the forum to post topics, and we will try our best to help you. The forum is also a huge resource of knowledge, you can search through all the topics as well.
Regarding custom ads you can check the theme documentation
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/custom-ad-spots/
There you can see (on the left sidebar section) all the available theme options regarding ads.
When it comes to plugins, please note that not all of them are fully compatible with the theme. Some may not work properly and some might. Please follow the plugins installation guides if they are available.
If the theme options are not sufficient for your ad requirements and the plugin you mention is not working properly, you could use the Adrotate plugin. Many users have this plugin and are using it without any issues.
Thanks
Hi,
That could also be related to those requirements. I have tested the theme export/import and it is working properly
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-export-theme-settings/
After you manage to configure them as recommended, then everything should work. There should be no problem installing a demo, or using the export/import feature.
Please let us know if you still have a problem after these changes.
Thanks
Hi guys,
I have my own footer I had to create as none of the footer templates really match my requirements.
I would like to still use the social icons from the footer templates in the standard newspaper theme footers in to my footer. Is there a wordpress short code for the Social icons list or widget?
My test footer is seen here: http://www.jamjosandbox.com/news/contact/
The social media icons you have in the footer templates are perfect so if I can just add them under my FOLLOW US section I’d be in good shape.
Any tips?
Cheers
Colin

Hello Aakash,
First of all, please notice that the W3TotalCache plugin is not tested with our theme and it seems to cause a lot of problems through the theme, sorry! You should use the WP Super Cache which is our recommended caching plugin.

Hello @schauvin and @pedromantovani,
I recommend you to make to make a full backup to your database and then, update the theme to the latest theme version which is 8.0 via FTP way and check the results. Clear all the caches and purge CDN files. If you are using some untested plugins which can interact with the theme core files, you should remove all of them and leave just only required plugins to be active and check the results. Also, check your dedicated server to be according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
I have read more on the subject on the internet. It seems that what you are trying to achieve is the highest level of accessibility that exists, and in most cases not a viable option even for the future users. The specifications to achieve this are just too demanding. It would require a lot of work and modifications to fix all these detected problems properly.
We have not made any tests in this matter, and it seems the theme is not compatible with the requirements. The test seems to detect issues in certain files from the theme and it would not be easy to modify all of them.
Thanks
Hi,
Maybe the server does not meet the requirements for the level of load it currently has
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Try to test while having no other plugins activated, except the ones provided with the theme. You should install this caching plugin with these settings
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
Also here you can find a guide to further improve the website
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
And maybe redesign your homepage using the tagDiv composer, and keep it as light as possible, like Bogdan suggested. Try using less block pagination, and ajax filters
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Thanks
Hi,
You can see an extensive topic in this matter, and also more in general here
