Search Results for 'update'

Hi,

I don’t know if you got my last post here – I have got the latest version of the team (6.6.5). I have also got the lastet update of the social counter installed.

The other social networks are working fine.

Its just Facebook and Youtube not working.

I followed your instructions on both links and it still not working.

Also, like I asked previosly, Is there a way to re-arrange the social counter buttons instead of the default arrangement?

And hence why there is coke and pepsi … 🙂

If you run a website for 10 years or longer at some point you find that with major updates the child themes need to be updated too and defeats the purpose. But whatever works for you is what works best for you. I manage 20 sites, some online for 16 years and updated daily, so I do things a little more “time management” focused in the long term. I also don’t update my themes every time there is update as I often don’t need the new bells/whistles requested by others. So, I’m usually many versions behind, and like it that way !

Thanks for your answer!
I use the version 6.6.3, so i have to replace files in link: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/updated-files-from-6-6-4-to-6-6-5/

Am i right?

Thank you.

For this theme I have tried it.But I am currently at 7 modifications. Every time there is a theme update I regret it. You always have to re-apply custom changes and keep a very detailed list of how and why to do it. With a child-theme you can just save a copy of the modified php file and feel free to update the theme at any time. So I actually hate not working with Child themes.

I’m trying to upgrade to Newspaper 6.6.5 from Newspaper 4.6.1.
I have problems with the shortcodes, I thought the update script would replace all old shortcodes in my posts with the new ones but that didn’t happen?
For example td_block7 this shortcode is an old one and isn’t replaced in any of my 200 posts.

How can I fix this?

Hi @Syams

We will test the current version of Visual Composer with the theme and if the results are good we will include it in the next theme update.

Thanks!

If you recently updated the theme, make sure you updated the plugin as well … that is usually the cause there. Clear/reset caching, etc.

Following my reply above; I’ve just logged into my site from my mobile, and it’s being diverted to unauthorised sites.

This is exactly the same problem I had just before Christmas which prompted the software updates, so something is clearly still wrong and I am feeling very nervous!

Thanks for this Chris – much appreciated.

I uploaded Securi and ran a scan which reported I was clear of any harmful stuff (malware, malicious javascript etc) so I’m not really any further forwards.

My hosting company made the same suggestion (although they suggested Wordfence…) so I’m still in discussions with them about other possible causes.

I still can’t get around the fact that the dramatic change in the site’s performance was at the exact same time as the WordPress and Newspaper theme updates.

Well, it’s good to keep up on security issues, as WordPress continues to refine its core platform and will advise to update when security vulnerabilities are found (e.g., “cross site scripting” issues, or a problem with ajax/java, or comments injection, etc.). This is the nature of the Web. Technically “SSL” has not been “secure” the past 20 years, contrary to the term secure. SSL3,TLS1,TLS1.1 are all not secure. So, the web continues to evolve and mature in terms of learning to actually test for security problems.

Right now, both Newspaper and WordPress are as secure as “is known” if you have the latest versions of each.

You should also check for articles online for how to harden/secure a WordPress site (e.g., don’t let folks register, don’t have your admin username be “admin,” us a plugin like limit login attempts to block folks trying to guess passwords, turn off editing of files from the WP admin panel, make sure your web host uses a dynamic system like CSF to auto-block IPs probing your site, avoid OLD plugins written prior to 2015, etc.).

You can use tools like Securi to scan your site for known malware, and your host can do the same.

Note that Google massively changed their algorithms in January to deal with issues of content spam based on “brand names” and other things, so every site with lots of “brand names” and company names may have seen some major changes in SERPS.

Checking your Google Webmaster Tools/Search Console regularly and examining what’s going on there is also advisable.

Hope that helps 🙂

You need to wait for the theme update as the “bundled version” has to be tested as compatible and error free with the existing theme custom blocks and whatnot. You don’t have a licensed version of VC, so you cannot update from VC as you don’t have license with them.
