Search Results for 'update'

Likely because your site got updated to WordPress 4.2 for the security fixes.

You might try
a) clear all your caches, especially in your browser
b) reinstall the theme with “latest” 1.71B version from Themeforest.

I just completed the update,

I followed method 1 here:

https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/

Then I updated the Visual Composer by doing this:

https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/

And everything seems fine.

Hi, thanks for the reply!

Is there any way to patch this manually without updating the theme?

I don’t have a test environment at the moment so would prefer to avoid big updates.

Thanks.

They can’t do the update for you, but you can follow my guide from the sticky post.
Or read the theme docs “how to upgrade” — see links right side of page 🙂

I am not that much techie, can anyone from the support team help me for theme update?

Yeah, I’m going to try moving to 1.71B today on one of our sites and see what happens. 🙂

If you know what you’re doing there is a quick and dirty way to upgrade, but this requires having FTP window open with the files to upload, and your filemanager on your web hosting platform open to delete the old files with one click. I call this the “in place” dirty upgrade method.

Best way to do it, for safety, is the method found in my “sticky” post top of forum on moving from one theme to another; same process.

I will update that sticky to include my “dirty” upgrade method … but this is kind of advanced in its own way and site will effectively be dead for 5-8 minutes while doing it whereas the long method nobody sees the changes just different theme temporarily.

Also, sidebar widgets “might” or might not reset one or more items, so good to take screen shot or write down anything special or unusual you did with sidebar widget placement. This last issue is inherent to WP, not the theme; although it keeps getting better.

Hope that helped!

Actually … that is separate function for a different kind of content sharing.

Here is example of what I’m talking about …
if you go to your G+ account and post an update, and paste in this link from one of our sites — one of the last ones running Woo Canvas vs Newsmag:
http://newyorknetwire.com/2015/04/20/newswire_NYNW150338-9452.php/new-easeus-partition-master-10-5-able-convert-mbr-disk-gpt-disk-convert-gpt-disk-mbr/

this will populate the photo, headline and first paragraph in the content box.

If I do that on CaliforniaNewswire.com with a story, running Newsmag 1.6, it no longer does that; although it did it a week ago prior to the switch to Newsmag from our old Woo custom template.

This leads me to believe all things being equal that there is some element of the rendered page structure which causes Google’s scraper to not pull the full text in quite the same way.

——–so———–

I did try removing the “categories” from above headline/title on CaliforniaNewswire.com and this had no effect. I am going to try some other things like “simple sidebar” and removing related content, social media buttons, etc., to see if it’s “relational” content confusing it (e.g., meta data or mark-up related to the other images/titles on page), or what. Super annoying.

It may be that having the bulk of other headlines/titles/images inside the “woo sidebar” separates the onpage content enough to make the Google scraper less confused.

They really should be pulling the damn meta/og description tag, and no good reason for them to still be “scraping” the page.

Could be something as simple as they don’t like the “full width headline” which is in separate “block” from the body text; meaning not in the same “column” …. (sigh)

I’m playing with it, as time permits.

Upshot — the Woo Canvas template we’ve had for several years DOES WORK for G+ capture, while the Newsmag layout I’ve setup does NOT … so, I’m always frustrated by these micro-management issues with Google …

And don’t get me started on the right format for sitelinks for CSE hinting. Lack of documentation on that is ridiculous from them. 🙂

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
23rd April NewsMag 1.7 update to NewsMag 1.7.1 So should I go for it,
is there any quick way to update the theme like plugins ?

Yeah, I’ve just gotten in habit of deleting the field text if I update a block. Luckily the feedback in the preview area of the layout reminds me if I forget. Annoying, but not world crushing.

HOWEVER…
always check the changelog for a theme when there is update (it’s in the “all files download zip”) — as the update log will state if the new update fixes and security and/or functional issues (like, say crashing server …). 🙂

You can find the changelog in the zip file you download from Themeforest … ?

Great idea to learn to unzip files locally on your hard drive and “explore” what is actually included with files you purchase and download from the interwebs. 🙂

Nope. If you have 1.6, you could wait to see if 1.71B is stable for everyone.

If you have 1.7 you should go to 1.71B.

You should update WordPress when there is update as they have been fixing security flaws with each update, some of which are fairly critical as the industry continues to become more and more aware of potential flaws in the underlying structure of all the pieces being used. Same with plugins; check them regularly. Don’t ignore updates if the patch is for a major security flaw.

Thanks, all updated and site is running good.
