Search Results for 'td composer'

I also had a fatal error updating the theme. Already tried visual composer and cleared cache, but it didn’t work:

Warning: require_once(td_deploy_mode.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /kunden/403446_74074/viel-unterwegs/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/functions.php on line 14

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘td_deploy_mode.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /kunden/403446_74074/viel-unterwegs/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/functions.php on line 14

Hi

Basically you will need a function which pass the value from url as a tag in block’s shortcode. Here is an example code which insert a custom value in shortcode:

$v = $_GET['val'];
$block = '';
if (isset($v)){
$block .= do_shortcode('[vc_row][vc_column][td_block_11 tag_slug="' . $v . '" limit="3"][/vc_column][/vc_row]');
}

This code can be used as a function in fuctions.php then you can try to generate a new shortcode for that block using add_shortcode() function. For more details about add_shortcode function check this link: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_shortcode After you generate the shortcode can be used in visual composer. This link may also help: https://codex.wordpress.org/it:Riferimento_funzioni/do_shortcode

Note that you will need some codeing skills in order to complete this task. I’ve offered just a basic example above but if you still need guidance on this or you’re not aware of the steps you need to take in this regard please consider hiring a developer or a freelancer to do this for you as we can’t offer customization services at the moment.

Thanks!

NEWSMAG OPTIMIZATION EFFORT 2016
——————————-
PRECIS:
* WordPress 4.6
* Newsmag 3.1
* tagDiv Composer v1.0 BETA
* TD Speed Booster plugin – Version: 4.5
——————————-
I am re-optimizing my network sites since upgrading from v2 v3, and needing to revisit all the past steps from past 3 years with new TadDiv tech, code, etc.

This project presumes I will do several advanced things
1) run mod_pagespeed on deploy; currently disabled for all other efforts; with proper webp format support added as mime type and in htaccess (MPS converts some png files to base64 inline, and others to .webp format when better than jpeg)
2) compress main css and js files not already compressed after ‘thinning’
3) decomment some TD files loaded by pages which are (ahem) overly commented
4) have proper gzip/deflate/TTL elements on server
5) no caching used for initial deploy (MPS uses opcache/memcache)
6) move CSS to footer and use critical CSS generator for inline above the fold CSS
7) test free SSL cert and http/2 on our new server for 2017
8) test move to PHP7 from PHP5

Follow along if the mood strikes; I’m just sharing my info not offering to consult with you (you cannot afford me, in most cases). Please do not post any questions until I post the info during last half of August 2016, as you can “try” any of my changes if you wish, at your own risk.

I am using Unix/Linux, CentOS, Plesk 12.5x (will likely move to ONYX when releases for 2017); Apache with NGINX in front; dedicated server, 1GB connection to network in Class A datacenter in Texas, USA. Running PHP 5x with PHP7 installed and will test ‘7’ once initial deploy stable with my ‘thinning’ and optimization.

Hey party people, it’s on!

I don’t think any kind of “slideshow” would work unless you have build out your own custom template. AMP is really more for stories, not for viral slideshows.

In our case we were able to do our own ‘related posts’ using the CRP plugin, then simply including the shortcode via a hook, along with a string to include link back to the story page and message to follow us on Apple News channel if using iOS device.

If I have time I’ll try to post that someplace.

Right now I’m in process of “thinning” Newsmag 3.1 along with the custom composer plugin to replace the v2x version and TD ‘SHIM;’ for one of our sites as text (server crash messed up the site, so seemed good time to move onward ) … just took 50kb out of main style.css since we don’t use BBpress/forum or Buddypress. Boom 50KB gone from style sheet 🙂

I just don’t want to load down my site with bloated stuff that isn’t needed.
I also found a big chunk of Buddypress CSS – why is that there?

I’ve removed some of the things I don’t think I need and that has taken the 876K down to 691K. (I estimate I can get it down another 100K.

The minified complete style.css is 648K and the cutdown minified css is 489k

Before, My story pages were loading in 8+ seconds. Now they are loading in 4 seconds.
That is better, but I want them to be faster. That is why I want to remove anything that doesn’t need to be there. I haven’t tried it with the cutdown CSS yet.

I’ve also tried most of the things suggested by Chris, including preventing Visual Composer loading in stories (posts).

After this, I will work on shrinking VC for the front page.

Then, I will try using Varnish and nginx rather than Apache.

HI

To achieve that you need to edit the file corresponding with post template used and echo out there one of theme’s ad-spots. First you need to get ad’s shortcode from Visual Composer. Add an ad-box on a blank page, chose the desired ad-spot, press CLASSIC MODE button and copy the shortcode: http://screencast.com/t/CvyiAdvTo then paste it here: http://screencast.com/t/SAp89QNhaOEK

In above example I’ve used custom ad 1 on post template 1, but you can use any ad-spot from theme panel.
Thanks!

Hi

You can build your page and ass all desired content on it then add it in top menu like this: http://screencast.com/t/HwcXkBCcQh Also make sure that you enable top menu from theme panel > header: http://screencast.com/t/Sg2jEqCF
Please note that td-composer is still a beta version. Also it was mostly tested on Newspaper theme but works good enough with Newsmag too. However we can’t recommend it yet as a page-builder for a live site as there is still a lot of work to do until the plugin will work properly from any point of view. We release the plugin so users can test it and give us back their feedback.
Instead we hardly recommend the usage of Visual Composer plugin which is tested and works fine with our theme. Fore more details about plugin’s usage please check our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-use-visual-composer/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-block-settings-tutorial/

Let us know how it goes and if you need further assistance please provide more details about what you’re trying to do, also some screens pointing the desired result would help.

Thanks!

HI

A) Yes indeed our theme removes the front-end part of Visual Composer’s page-builder because it’s not working properly with theme’s blocks. We also added 25 new blocks which works only with our theme. We don’t recommend any third-party plugins or additional ad-ons for our theme. The theme is tested and work fine only with Visual Composer plugin which is included in the path available o themeoforest. You can try additional software if you want but we can’t support it and also we can’t say how will work with Newspaper.
B) The theme is tested and search page works fine with any module used, including module 17. I am not sure why the page breaks on your site but you can try to deactivate all plugins, except Visual Composer, clear all caches then test again. If the problem persist please provide your site url so we can have a closer look.
C) We need site url for further investigations.
D) Try this css in theme panel > custom code > custom css:

.td-social-google, .td-social-pinterest {
display: none!important;
}

E) The theme uses default wp implementation for authors and there is no option which allows you to add multiple authors for a post. You can try a plugin with similar functionality but we didn’t made any tests in this regard and I can’t make any recommendation.
F) You can set a primary category for each post, primary category will be displayed on modules and blocks if is set: http://screencast.com/t/7KmMi5qqKCd
G) Yes you can filter posts by multiple categories using this field from block settings: http://screencast.com/t/bsMWXZCAUUYh For more details in this regard please check this link: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/

Hope this helps.
Thanks!

Hi

Try to deactivate all plugin except Visual Composer, clear all caches then test the site again. Then activate TD Composer and check how it works. Note that the plugin is still a beta and is best to try it on a test wp-install. just to make sure that it won’t break site’s functionality. There might be a conflict between TD Composer and other plugin that you have installed in your wp.
The best environment for testing would be on a sub-domain with a fresh wp-install with this configuration:

– last version of wordpress
– last version of Newsmag (we did extensive testing and development on Newspaper but it should also work on Newsmag)
– TD Composer plugin
– optionally you can install Visual Composer.

Thanks!
