Search Results for 'update'

Some people like child themes. Some “frameworks” use them as the framework doesn’t often break the CSS, and so easy to make sub-designs of main design — idea being you can update main theme and child theme changes are left alone. In practice, however with all the WP changes, security changes, etc., child themes end up changing every few major theme update –totally defeats the purpose. So, I avoid them like the plague.

You don’t have to use it; so my rule of thumb for most clients is “if you don’t know why you have a child theme option, don’t use it …” 🙂

I find its safer to make changes to the “main” theme, then keep track of those changes with each major update.

Yeah!!! I don’t use the child theme as it’s a redirect for one thing, and second — as theme evolves and you need to update stuff, using child them doesn’t really serve intended purpose.

In olden days, a child theme allowed one to make a “alternate” version of main theme, with different look/feel.

However, issue becomes with complex themes that having to update TWO themes at once for one site is nightmare.

Have not used child theme in years due to that. But I’m a weirdo!

Latest vulnerability is not fixed.

version 0.9.4.1
Compatible up to: 4.5.4
Last Updated: 6 months ago
Active Installs: 1+ million

W3 Total Cache was updated six months ago with a fix for two security issues. The last major update, 0.9.4, was released in 2014. After many users began to wonder if the plugin was abandoned, we spoke with author Frederick Townes in March to learn the status of W3 Total Cache. His said that development and other operations have been ongoing and that his team is working towards leaving officially beta and moving towards a 1.0 release. No major updates have been issued and Townes’ company blog has remained silent.

At this point, the only option users have is to disable the plugin or use an account with author or editor permissions instead of the administrator account. The plugin’s author has been contacted about the vulnerability but there is no security update available via WordPress.org yet.

Hi again Katie,

About that message from Visual Composer: completely get rid of them, very soon tagDiv are going to do something to inform new users about that.

You and all of us we are using a copy from Visual Composer, with every update tagDiv also updated the plugin to the current version but in some case this plugin is updated more often, that’s why you receive that notification.
Don’t worry, in the next update of theme you’ll have that version.

Never use Envato Toolkit or other tool, search in this forum how make update through FTP

About that plugin “Complete Analytics Optimization Suite (CAOS)”, I see that using wp_cron() to update (I would not touch that).
Nano, with or without GA script we are talking about milliseconds, (on Google Speed Insights is only 1 point). We are more than 50.000.000 webs that using GA so don’t worry about that

Thanks Andrei and Nairolf. I have followed the instructions and have successfully upgraded Visual Composer to the current version.

However, I’m now seeing a nag message near the top of the screen asking me to ‘activate’ my copy of Visual Composer, even though it is already activated. Please take a look at this screenshot –

What should I do about that?

Also, will it now be safe to use the Envato Tolkit (in the same screenshot) to update the Newspaper theme automatically or will that overwrite the Visual Composer update I have just installed?

Thanks, Katie

Hi K,
This error is from Visual Composer.
¿When you made theme update you upgrade also the Visual Composer plugin bundled with the theme (v4.12.1)?

Hi

You will also need to update the plugins included in theme’s path, Visual Composer and Social Counter need to be update to the versions included in theme’s path. For more detail about the update process for Visual Composer please check this link: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/

Thanks!

Hi A,

Is it possible to have only the CSS that

Nope, you have to strip out the unnecessary lines. Is very well commented, so is easy.

Can I delete Woo Commerce and BB-Press and their CSS if I don’t need it.

Yes (remove them also from functions.php), no problem.

What needs to be tweaked in Main Style CSS if I want to use only OpenSans and Geomanist fonts type.

I think that @neotrope (Chris S) have a tutorial for something similar (look into “Best of Forums”)

Can We Delete all Comments from all PHP files and Minify them, same for HTML and CSS.

Yes. If you compress/minify them, the comments are to be deleted. You’ll obtain better results one by one that use some plugin. The bad thing, is to much work and every update you have to do it again, but it’s worth!

Hi

The date is missing from hentry because is deactivated on your site. If you don’t want to display the date on posts it can be hidden with css. Enable the date from theme panel so google can find entry-date updated and use below css to hide it:

.td-post-date, .td-author-line{
display: none!important;
}

Thanks!

Hi B,

And I just realized that it seems any update or change to the CSS takes about 12 hours to take effect.

1. Go to your .htaccess and remove for the moment the rules for “Expires”
2. Cut your custom .css from theme panel and paste into the main syle.css
3. Clear your cache

If works, change your time for “access plus” in somewhat lower

Hi, I’m sorry…problem has changed somewhat.

First of all – this site is hosted on my company’s servers, so our IT guys handle it. And I just realized that it seems any update or change to the CSS takes about 12 hours to take effect. I have no idea why. SO…my last email about how it doesn’t work isn’t true anymore – it works…but maybe too much.

Now if you go to outside.agoda.com/category/technology you can see that NONE of the links work, even the ones in the excerpt. I’d like these ones to open in a new tab, but the title and photo to be inactive.

I know…this is very strange. 🙂

Thanks.

@nairolf

I don’t able to understand what you need to convey. You reply is completely ir-relevant to the topic. If you don’t know anything then atleast don’t spam….

Google Structural Data Tool (Live Tool) is not able to get the hentry “Updated” from the post template, which used to be in the website pages and asking to include the same in all posts.

Hi L,
Keep in mind that GW is not updated in real time and that’s why you still see the errors.
Sometimes it can take even a week ore more until the data is updated and it depends on the bot frequency

Hi

Hello Andrei!

I can also see the no error in google structural tools….please error says missing:updated..

Data is missing in hentry

See the Updated field on this link and please advice why it says its missing

Entry Updated

an Entry Updated element is identified by class name updated
an Entry Updated element represents the concept of Atom updated
an Entry should have an Entry Updated element
use the datetime-design-pattern to encode the updated datetime
if there is no Entry Updated element,
use the Entry Published element, if present
otherwise the page is invalid hAtom

Tagdiv.com and all demos work perfectly for me in MS Edge. Your site works perfectly for me, also.

You might want to clear your cache, make sure you have no funky extensions added in latest version (like ad blocker or similar), and make sure you have Windows 10 updated fully to the latest version including security patches, and “anniversary edition” fixes.

EDGE current version:
Microsoft Edge 38.14393.0.0
Microsoft EdgeHTML 14.14393

If you’re still using the beta version or first edition, you need to update Edge. Also make sure you’re not loading pages “as Internet Explorer” in EDGE, which might cause such issues.

Hello, i am getting familiar with the theme! Please i have 2 questions:
1) I see that visual composer plugin needs update. How can i update it?
2) On top header menu of some demos there are social media icons (facebook, twitter etc). How can i link them to my actual facebook and twitter page? Because when i click on them, it just refreshes the site. Where do i change that so when i click it, i can be directed to facebook and twitter page?

Hi Andrei, thank you for your reply. I already have the custom field set up. This is not an issue. I also know how to get the data from the database to the frontend. The thing is, I don’t want to change the code of YOUR php file. Because, when I update your theme, my changes will be lost and need to be implemented again. Therefore I was hoping that I could add this functionality with a hook.

But if I understand you correctly, changing the code is the only option I have, right? There is no action hook for changing this, correct?

HI

You can try this css in theme panel but it may affect the layout in some places, also image quality will be affected. Best wy is to update in media library an image at least by thumb’s size.

.td-module-thumb img {
width: 100%;
}
Thanks!
