Search Results for 'update'

Hi

When you update the theme, the old file are overwritten by the new theme files, and any custom modification will be lost, so you have to save your customization and apply it again.

Thanks!

Hi

@shae101s unfortunately I can’t provide an exact answer but we consider to add in the next theme updates new post formats for Newsmag.

@nherious to hide the new grids on mobile devices you can use media queries like here:

@media (max-width: 767px){
.td_block_big_grid_7{
display:none!important;
}
}

This css hide the big grid 7 on mobile devices, just replace the grid class with the corresponding for the grid you want to hide.

Thanks!

Hi Marius,

Thanks for your help! I’ve also just now double-checked these exact steps and also tried adding your CSS. Still no luck. I tried disabling all plugins and that also has not solved the issue. I am feeling frustrated with the recent theme updates…. seems the site is always breaking 🙁

Where exactly do I “copy the vies function from td_module_single_base.php to td_module.php”… I mean, where in td_module.php do I place the vies function? Should the location placed matter in this case?

Thank you,
James

Hi

Thanks Chris!

If you plan to customize theme’s code then it is recommended to use the child theme and make the necessary adjustments there, you have a guide on how to do that here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/child-theme-documentation-newsmag/

Using a child theme is recommended but given the fact that we are constantly looking to improve pour products we usually release updates quite often so if we change a file in the main theme which you’ve altered in the child theme you have to take note of those changes and adjust your changes to the new version of the file so in this regard if files you change are post’s templates or headers then you could use the child theme because we don’t plan to change any posts template or headers or anything similar, usually the change occur in theme core files.

Thanks!

Hi Emil, thank you for your answer. I need to save “td_subtitle” inside the array “td_post_theme_settings”.

What is the syntax using update_post_meta() function?.

Thank you.

Hi, I need to mention an additional file.

1) includes\td_config.php
2) includes\wp_booster\td_wp_booster_functions.php

When these two files are with the old “6.3” version, the backend shows, if I put the updated version for any of these TWO files, I get the blank screen.

All other updated and new files (of the 6.3.2 patch) don’t affect the backend from showing up.

So, I am wrong to think it came from the update (delusional – ouch, pretty harsh response).

Thanks for the idea to check for malware.

Usually due to not first turning off all plugins prior to upgrade; or turning off caching first.

Remember to delete old theme when doing updates, not simply over-write.

If using a child theme, remember to check changelog to see if child files also changed and need to be updated. Same with plugin versions included with theme.

Often if you need to “recover” — via ftp or via the hosting panel, rename your plugins folder to xplugins, then login. Then rename plugin folder back, and only turn on visual composer, then other plugs to determine if one is a conflict. Don’t use speedbooster unless everything else working.

Hope that helped 🙂

BASIC SEO TIPS:

Note that Google rolled out new version of PANDA recently. They continue to refine placement, and are putting emphasis on mobile friendly, ORIGINAL CONTENT, “answers to questions,” https capability, pagespeed insights, sitemaps, and the usual stuff still relevant:
a) inbound links from organic sites, not paid text links or text ads, help placement
b) blocking bad links from “bad sites” such as low quality scrapers – you can disavow bad sites (we do this with sites like ‘searchnaked’ which had thousands of links to us)
c) proper schema markup
d) limit junk posts (e.g., youtube video and one sentence — is not original content)
e) limit content you “steal” from other sites then link to them as source — write your own version, get your own photo; that helps your ranking
f) site structure matters; good navigation, prioritize the POST over categories, tags, etc.
g) don’t sell text links, avoid popups, interstitials that block content loading for Google bot
h) READ the free Google guide to best practices for SEO
i) write original headlines – check your headline to see if it already exists; do something different!
j) posts should have at least 5 paragraphs so it looks like original post and not excerpt of another post
k) don’t use “next page” for home page; conflicts with your category indexes
l) update site regularly — updates every 6 weeks shows lack of new content
m) create your own images where possible, vs copying somebody else’s
n) learn to use your Google webmaster tools (now “console”) properly
o) don’t overload pages with too many ad modules from adsense, amazon, other ad system, etc. — too many ads pollutes your pages
p) use h tags for your relevant subheads in your posts, not just bold sub heads — couch your subheads as answers to questions people might ask “The right way to boil spaghetti” … etc.
q) make sure guest posts are not also being posted on other sites (!!)
r) share the heck out of your posts to social media, but use the social media worth sharing to and ignore the stuff nobody uses anymore (sorry, delicious, diigo, Technorati, etc.)
s) don’t use sock puppets for clicking your ads; paid likes on social media; or similar
t) answer comments on your posts to create dialog
u) make backups of your site often and carefully (!) — if your system crashes, and you’re off the web for prolonged period of time — very bad for SEO after xx days
v) do you have a backup plan if your host goes out of business, or GoDaddy DNS crashes again and your site is down?
w) consider spending a small amount on Google ads to promote your best posts or site on the topic you most want to be found under, like “horse breeding” or whatever
x) make sure your site is verified with all the top search engines
y) ignore stupid things like so called “ranking sites” like Alexa which are completely wrong on traffic, including their inability to track shortcode use
z) check your site regularly to ensure it’s secure ! Make sure you have security plan. Make sure you have privacy policy on your site.

Share and enjoy! 🙂

NOT FOR REPUBLICATION!

You need to make the changes to any files you have modified… Yes. You dont have to redo most settings in theme panel like custom css. You might have to refresh menus and widgets, as with all theme updates.
