Search Results for 'update'

Hello Catalin. I changed it, but I’m changing it back. Really, to have it show across the entire site, requires changing a lot of files code everytime the theme gets updated. And even then it doesn’t display like it should. So I’m just leaving it as normal.

Can you please just get confirmation from the developers if they are working on implementing this in a future update? I’ve seen responses about a year old that it is added to a list of features. From the search results in the forum it seems like it is one of the most requested features.

Thanks

If you’re using an optimization plugin, check your minification. I use W3C Total Cache, and always have to tweak the settings whenever they release a new update (like they did last week) to get my images to appear.

Hi again @rayarasmussen,

If you haven’t made any modifications into the theme files (css, js, php), you will not lose anything.

All modifications/customization through theme panel settings, like for: header, footer, posts, translations, etc., etc., … and all your content, never are going to lose them because they are recorded into the data base (DB).

When you want to update something, allways before make a backup/copy from all your files + DB (if something goes wrong you can revert).

It is not advisable to use Envato Toolkit for updates, I think he has received some bad feedbacks! Take your time and learn how to use FTP (File Transfer Protocol), is very easy, free and will greatly help in the future. You will have access and control to all your files from server.

Use the search bar in this forum, you’ll find 99% answers for your Q.

Thank you Nairolf. I have been updating the newspaper theme using Envato Tool kit for over a year now. I updated the theme a month or so ago and waited until this morning to update visual composer since the plugin needed to be updated. from the plugin folder I updated it using the zip file.

I am a novice and am a bit uncomfortable reinstalling the entire theme. Will all my settings remain? Will I have to start over and reconfigure everything?

I’d prefer it if someone knows how to fix my specific problem with Visual Composer.

I have tested all of my plugins and all seems to be fine.

Thanks again for your help

when I deactivate VC, it crashes the whole site. Functions Line 207 gives undefined error and causes the entire site not to render. This is how the NP theme is coded. How to update VC without crashing the site?

Thanks Catalin,

I’ll drop something in the custom CSS panel.

Again, would be another good feature for future updates. If you could choose from solid, underlined, tab styles etc headers it would make it really easy to customise.

Hi

We’re sorry for any inconvenience you have encountered using our theme.
The theme is tested and feature images should be displayed without any changes in code. However checking your site I’ve found some errors in browser’s console which are related with theme’s js: http://screencast.com/t/A5oKnz8tg This errors may be caused by some plugins which conflicts with the theme or by some minifycation used for js. Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches, purge cdn files if you’re using, remove the css/js minification then test the site again.

The theme can’t control the informations picked by Facebook sharer when a post is shared. Facebook looks for og tags and picks the details from these tags. To generate the og tags you can use a plugin like SEO By Yoast which is tested and works fine with our theme. Please check these links for more details in this regard: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/getting-open-graph-for-your-articles/ – https://yoast.com/social-media-optimization-with-wordpress-seo-by-yoast/
Another important aspect is server’s response time. Facebook won’t wait to long for requested data and if the server respond to slow some data will be skipped. Checking your site with google page-speed tool I’ve noticed that the response time is higher then 6s, please check the screen: http://screencast.com/t/2qMDqyDS2 Make sure that your server meets theme’s requirements and also ensure that the parameters from system status have the values indicated here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/

It is very likely that Facebook won’t anything about a new published post. Facebook handle a huge amount of data and a new published post won’t be indexed automatically. However you can force Facebook to update new posts by running a fresh scrape with debugger tool: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/ – http://screencast.com/t/8rKTpv28f

Hope this helps!
Thanks!

Hi

Thanks for your feed back, we appreciate any suggestion and each bug or bad functionality reported by customers are taken into consideration! Indeed there is a bit of confusion there because we check only if post founds number is higher then 1 but the post limit value from slide settings is not checked. We will change this implementation in future updates because we try to make the theme as user friendly as possible so users can be happy with it.

Thanks!

Hi

The settings from theme panel should not be affected by theme’s update as they are stored in database which is not touched during the update. The settings may be lost only if the db is damaged or the reset function is used: http://screencast.com/t/RnjDahif4r5
Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches, purge the cdn if you’re using then try to import the settings again.

Let us know ho it goes.
Thanks!

Note that they answer tickets in order received; so posting updates actually pushes it back further in queue; oops, I did that too.

Basically, install theme and plugins via FTP if you have permissions issues on your hosting setup (where WP cannot remove/delete stuff in folders); this way you can *see* what is actually there, remove broken install, and do clean install of theme; this is very often the issue where something broke on server when WP was unzipping the zip file, and now can’t delete it due to being messed up. It happens 🙂

Try FTP upload/install — best way, every time!

Hi Chris S, indeed it would be great!

A little advice for that users who will want to use this improvement for Speed-booster plugin.

Using this code in combination for example with that one provided by Chris S in his [tutorial], you’ll have a double-edged knife (you’re warned! 🙂 ) if not used with caution.

Good to know: even if you update your theme to a new version, browsers/CDNs/… and in the end users, they all not recognize your changes until your rules for “Expire headers” will expire! and I’m sure that you’ll go crazy the tagDiv staff 🙂 with: “my users not seen me changes/updates” or similar.

In addition it should be recalled that a normal users (visitors) which makes search on Internet, will not erase the cache from their devices to see our web (recent version).
So, if you are use this snippet, use it with precaution in combination with an flexible time for expire headers depending on your activity!

Can be controled also by Cache-Control Headers but that’s another story apart

———-
Summary to remove query strings from static resources with Speed-Booster enabled:

• For functions.php (a slim version 🙂 )

function remove_js_ver( $src ) {
if( strpos( $src, '?ver=' ) )
$src = remove_query_arg( 'ver', $src );
return $src;
}
add_filter( 'script_loader_src', 'remove_js_ver', 10, 2 );

• For td-speed-booster.php

foreach ($this->style_footer_queue as $style_id => $wp_dependency_object) {
            if (strrpos($wp_dependency_object->src, '?') === false) {
                echo "<link rel='stylesheet' id='" . $style_id . "-css'  href='" . $wp_dependency_object->src . "' type='text/css' media='" . $wp_dependency_object->args . "' />\n";
            } else {
                echo "<link rel='stylesheet' id='" . $style_id . "-css'  href='" . $wp_dependency_object->src . "' type='text/css' media='" . $wp_dependency_object->args . "' />\n";
            }
        }

Good luck and nice/big traffic to all.

All thanks must go to Andrei L. because he provide us this custom work.

Hi Catalin,

Is it something you’d consider for future updates?

It’s a very popular style, at least here in the UK.

I think the user is asking about instant updates on the home page without needing the user to refresh.
