Search Results for 'review'

Likely best way to see what modules are in the theme is to setup a blank “page” and then launch Visual Composer and look at all the modules — you can load content from any category you want like /articles/ — as we do on one of our websites which is a magazine and has no “news” — e.g., book/movie reviews, fiction, health articles, etc.

Pages are not posts — “pages” are typically referential like “about us” or “privacy” — and “Posts” can be anything from news to articles or fiction or whatever — so you can build layouts in VC to load content by topic from any category — build one section with fiction, build one section with lifestyle, build one section with music reviews — that’s all up to you.

Easy to play with, even build multiple different home page versions and test them by turning one on/off and asking staff to evaluate, etc.

See the theme docs for examples of different modules and “blocks” — and how you might use different ones in your layout; look at the example sites from users; look at the theme demos — all of that can be great idea starters for your layouts!

example of different “block” layouts which can be mixed and matched on your home page layout:

Hope that helped a little 🙂

I am using theme Newsmag V 2.2
and in my custom field i have image path or URL you can say for ex. ‘entry-preview’ , ‘grid_thumb’ is the custom field and its values is ‘http://mydomian.com/wp-content/my-gallery/2015/09/my-custom-image.jpg’

this is the analysis from my web host who i had replicate the error

—————————

We have checked this for you and determined that your site may be reaching the maximum requests limitation on the server when using this specific theme.

This is very often caused by improperly coded scripts which run requests in a recursive manner filling all available slots. Usually the developers should be able to look into this and rectify the problematic code.

However, I will be sending this ticket to our level 3 department for further review. As soon as more details are available, we will be sure to notify you here.

once they are done with the analysis i will send you their results and login information

thanks

Hi
setup a custom sidebar for your home page if you don’t have one; add a text box widget from the appearance > widgets section in WP admin panel.

If you’re using visual composer for custom home page, see the how-to in building home page; create new horizontal “row” at bottom of all the other content. If you can’t do that, simpler to use a text widget in sidebar.

See the docs for how to create a new home page sidebar; you can then set that sidebar to be used in your home page layout.

But those are the broad strokes — worth playing with a bit to experiment.

Note you can make a new home page layout and mess with it, preview, etc. without actually making it live.

TagDiv support can likely help with more step-by-step; this was just an overview of one way to do it 🙂

Hi

1. That is a sprite image loaded by css, more details about the purpose of those images you can find here: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_image_sprites.asp and here is en example of their functionality with our theme: http://screencast.com/t/ivB2686o

2. Try this custom css in theme panel > custom css to change the review stars color: http://screencast.com/t/JL129IM0jiH

.td-icon-star-empty:before, .td-icon-star:before, .td-icon-star-half:before {
color: yellow;
}

Thanks!

Hi

1. You can filter the post displayed in blocks by category like here: http://screencast.com/t/3B9CL95TGOzo Also you can find more details about blocks filters in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-overview/
To remove the drop-down menu just disable the ajax filter: http://screencast.com/t/ruyNUPFxqzS

2. I am not sure what you mean, please provide more specific details.

3. You can add a review for every post from post settings: http://screencast.com/t/U20FtLaUTU

Hope this help.

Thanks!

Thanks for the advise. I was able to get the updated version installed, I was not installing it properly before. As far as errors go, the only thing I know to do is wait and see if Webmaster Tools shows whether things are improving.

Unfortunately since installing the latest version, I can’t seem to make any changes to color layout etc. When I installed the updated version, it changed the color of some of my accents, like “log in”, “recent posts”, “latest articles” to black which clashes with the color scheme. I have changed all the theme colors, saved the theme colors and refreshed the page and there is no change. I don’t remember that be too difficult in the past and I’m really not sure why it changed with the update.

I also tried to set the template to show summaries instead of entire posts on previous articles, when I save those settings and refresh the page there is no change.

Also, when I preview the page, it shows an about the author post at the bottom of the page and a comments field . I would really like these elements to show on the posted pages, but they don’t and in this particular case never did.

Please let me know where I should go to fix these items, Thank you in advance for your time.

Regards,

Jeni

I generally agree with what Steven said.

Of course, major hackbots actually go after ALL sites running WordPress, and even folders with /wp-content/ or /wp-admin/ simply by doing Google search.

It’s of utmost importance to keep your core WP files updated for all the security patches.

It’s imperative to learn about security strategies:
1) rename your admin account to something else — you should NEVER have account called “admin”
2) use tools like “limit login attempts”
3) consider disabling pingbacks and XMLRPC unless you have absolute need for them
4) make sure your host has system in place like IPTables/CSF for auto-blocking port scans and basic probing of server.
5) delete old plugins and themes you are NOT using — 5 year old theme in your theme folder might be hackable. Just because it’s off doesn’t mean the php files are not still there (!).
6) check your site/domain error logs from time to time to look for folks from certain IPS generating large amount of errors; have your host add them to a block list, or in some cases you can do so with htaccess if not other method.
7) try not to have any “account signup” forms on your site; make sure any contact forms do NOT send auto emails back to the sender — instant spam engine.
8) subscribe to security blogs like Securi which keep up on major WP hackables
9) don’t install any plugins which have not been updated in 2015 unless you’re 100% sure they are safe as they may not have the security updates of recent months
10) don’t install free plugins “found on the web” on some random website (don’t trust “glowing reviews” from junk WP review sites which are affiliate link farms!)

Use common sense, be proactive in having a security PLAN like regular safe backups, etc. and “be careful out there!”

I posted in other thread and it takes up to a week to review site as new account even if you already have ads added. If already approved then it takes two to three days for your newly placed ads via theme to start showing again where you added them. You also have to follow Googles documentation or you will get banned. They are really picky on ads on a site and no smart sidebar used with ads on the sidebar, its considered floating widget and is against their TOS.

Hi

A. To hide the ads in specific post/pages you need to ad a condition in td_block_ad_box.php
http://screencast.com/t/5uninsYLV1

if (is_single(134) || is_page(44)) {
return;
}
Use is_single() for post is_page() for pages. To get the post/page id follow this link: http://screencast.com/t/zXmGYcsp

C. If you want to move the review or duplicate it on the post it’s need to modify the file corresponding with the post template used like here: http://screencast.com/t/uxt9QzSQ0QD – http://screencast.com/t/BhDgzo2J0Pe8

Thanks!
