Ok here is a update about the “Categories, Translations and Custom Typography ” now i get home on my laptop it seem to be working,but i really don’t like the new way,the drop down was way better then this via AJAX…
UPDATE ON MY MOD_SPDY PLUS MOD_PAGESPEED ADVENTURE
for those of you doing the more arcane stuff with mod_pagespeed and perhaps looking to use mod_SPDY to speed up your site if moving to https, here is what we found over past 2 weeks of testing.
1) connecting mod_pagespeed to mod_SPDY caused Apache to stop/start every 3-5 hours. Not good.
2) using relative paths to static file directories in mod_pagespeed .conf file was the way to go; this allows pagespeed to load the files via /relative/paths/ vs sorting out what to load via http or https (via spdy)
3) running mod_SPDY without pagespeed connection seems to work quite well. (so far)
Anybody not doing any of the above can simply IGNORE this post as it won’t relate to you.
Just a tip:
be sure to
a) backup your site, export dbase and theme settings
b) turn off any caching plugin
c) turn off any special things like mod_pagespeed
d) deactivate all plugins
1) delete old theme folder
2) replace with new theme version (don’t overwrite; which mixes old code with new)
3) delete old VC plugin if updated
4) upload new VC plugin if updated
5) clear browser cache several times
6) reset/expire any CDN content to refresh with new theme content/CSS
The above resolves 90% of the oddball “my theme panel doesn’t work” issues.
Hello Lucian,
I understand that with every update, we should repeat all these instructions again an again, don`t we?
It could be possible to add this freedom of adding custom ads in a new version of the theme? Remember that ads are the source of income of the online newspaper, and not always they work with Google Ads.
Thank you.
Hi team,
Can you please recommend a Google Analytic plug-in that work best with Newspaper 4?
Also, I have my site upload to Go Daddy shared space and all is running really fine. Can you recommend the best way to safely update the theme. I cannot afford to lose any settings or data as it’s a popular magazine.
Lastly, thanks again for developing a truly great product. Everyone is thrilled. TAGDIV ROCKS.
Hi,
Unfortunately that is not possible at this time as the block don’t have an unique id and because of this there is no way you can target each block from your sidebar and set a different block title background color.
If you like you can do this for different blocks, like this: http://screencast.com/t/1aTLciGVl
Sorry about this, we will consider this for future updates.
Thanks
Hi,
Thanks TheMediumUTM!
@faditayyoun You can achieve this like TheMediumUTM suggested, we will also consider this for future updates.
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
I have added this on our to-do list and we will consider it for future updates.
You can charge it from here: http://screencast.com/t/NqHtJWJdTbO
Thanks
Any news on this being a feature in global settings rather than having to do it manually and then update it again every time the theme is updated?
Thanks.
Dave
Hi,
Please try to update the VC plugin, follow this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
Thanks
Hi,
Thanks for letting us know, we will consider this and try to find a better way to implement this in future updates. Should work fine for you in the footer.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Have a nice day!
Hi,
You will need custom work for this but you can also use a plugin for it and add it to the menu using shortcodes, you could replace the actual search with your own here: http://screencast.com/t/78SAKU4J3
You can do the same for the social icons and use a plugin.
you could also use the WordPress search widget and tagdiv social icons, use page builder to customize them and add it with the do_shortcode() function, should look something like this: http://screencast.com/t/vb0u2EBFRHg
This is the code I use for the example: http://pastebin.com/JTjXCD68
This is a start, if you don’t have basic php/html/css knowledge we recommend you to get a freelancer from sites like: http://studio.envato.com/ to do it for as we cannot offer custom work as we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support.
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Hi,
I have build and tested that css live on your site based on the code you already have in the attachment file so it should work fine.
Please also make sure that the changes you make in theme panel are saved:
* https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/cant-save-settings-in-theme-panel/#post-23103
* https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/theme-panel-dont-save-my-updates/#post-23226
Thanks
Hi,
Unfortunately the short time doesn’t allow me to test this plugin, you can check here for more info: https://github.com/herewithme/simple-taxonomy or to the support page of this plugin. You might also consider that this may not work properly with this version of WordPress as it hasn’t been updated since 2013-1-4: http://screencast.com/t/GAid459c
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Had to remove the code and put it in the footer file. I think it would be better if the template did NOT place javascript tags, But was simply a place holder for any code that we want to execute. This way I don’t have to keep copying the code to every footer file for every template update.
Not all code starts and ends with those javasript tags. I’m using Statcounter and Post Affiliate pro and those built in javascript tags in the functions file are messing it up.
=)
Update: It’s not solved the problem so any input would be very much appreciated.
Basically what I’ve done for my site is
(not using child themes as they add CSS redirects bad for SEO/speed)
a) search/replace all instances of fonts I don’t want to load from Google in my style.css file; using common font stacks for fallback such as 'Open Sans',Arial,sans-serif
(if you don’t know what font stacks are, see: http://cssfontstack.com/
b) set all my fonts in theme panel to ‘default’ so there is no code if/then trying to insert any custom fonts into header/footer/speedbooster
c) commented out the code in functions.php which loads google fonts on the page; and also removed the section of code which has the various links to theme fonts on google I won’t be using; no need to have if/then code asking to load fonts from google if I’m never going to do that via theme code (as per examples in my prior posts in this thread); need to both or you will get error. Same code in 4.22, 4.3 and 4.4 versions of theme.
d) I grabbed the link from google fonts website for the font I wish to use (as per my example above in this thread), then pulled the actual css from that link so I won’t be loading the links to the fonts from their CSS file (one less CSS file loaded on page); placed this at bottom of my own style.css file after the minified code, so that it lives in its own section after theme styles.
All of this was done with caching off, mod_pagespeed off, so that changes are picked up immediately. When editing my files I use either TextPad on the PC, or BBEdit on the Mac, to ensure my files have Linux/Unix line breaks since I’m using Linux web server. Some PC editors will put “Windows line breaks” in files, which are bad for Linux servers, in some cases, and can cause parsing errors. So, helps to know what you’re doing if editing core files for a web server.
PURPOSE OF ALL OF THIS:
1) speed up website
2) remove intermediate call to CSS style sheet on google, which may not have proper expiration headers/TTL, and may show “advisory” from testing GTMetrix,PageSpeed Insights, etc. – may help “rating” by removing one so-called issue caused by Google’s own system.
You do *NOT* need to do this, unless you have ALL OTHER optimizations in place. Many sites load their fonts from Google using their function call as it’s essentially loading from a CDN. However, “hacking” the theme for this purpose can help advanced users resolve those last couple of ratings issues, and also those obsessed with micro-optimizations.
WARNING
this hack must be done EVERY time you update the theme; so if not willing to do that, best to skip this whole subject and get on with creating great content which is better for SEO and SERPS than saving a couple of milliseconds on font loading.
I have updated the code in td_social_api.php, but unfortunately this did not resolve this issue we are having. Our ‘Fans’ number is still zero.
Hi,
You will need custom work for that, and change this file: http://screencast.com/t/TXUHtuubQw7O so that it returns the output you want. Unfortunately we cannot offer custom work as we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support. You can always get a freelancer from sites like: http://studio.envato.com/ if you don’t know how to do it yourself.
Thanks
Hi,
We will fix this in the next theme update.
Thanks
Hi,
For your first issue, you can get rid of the breadcrumbs on search module like this: http://screencast.com/t/wd80UQ6nBuWy
You can remove them the same way for other module also.
Regarding issue #2 please note that those setting will work for the pages templates build and added with the page builder and when used the default template.
We know about #3 and we have this on our to-do list to fix in the next update.
For the 4-th issue you could use this css to add a border to the top of page wrapper, like this: http://screencast.com/t/kcV8d2ZLj4R
.td-page-wrap {
border-top: 2px solid #a7a7cb !important;
}#5 I’m not sure how this happens but you can use custom css to hide the banner only on homepage, like this: http://screencast.com/t/rDggCB6SIlUl
.home .header-content-rec .td-g-rec-id-header {
display: none;
}and for post template 4 you can use this: http://screencast.com/t/K4PjrKpr3nI
.single_template_4 .header-content-rec .td-g-rec-id-header {
display: none;
}Regarding the option for the banner to show before logo, you can simply do it like this: http://screencast.com/t/9cq1f3v9p5Bi
For the background of sidebar ad you can try this: http://screencast.com/t/BJhaoVkxCs1C
.td-g-rec-id-sidebar .adsbygoogle {
position: relative;
top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px !important;
}
.td-g-rec-id-sidebar {
background-color: #a7a7cb;
padding-top: 20px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}Also use this sizes fro the sidebar Adsense ads: http://screencast.com/t/wlsdqlsI3p
Hope this helps! Please let me know!
Thanks
Hi,
Unfortunately module 7, as an extension of module 1, can’t be used as a block and you will need custom modifications to it so it can be used as a block. At this post module 1 and 7 can be used only on loop templates.
Unfortunately we cannot offer custom work as we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support. You can always get a freelancer from sites like: http://studio.envato.com/ if you don’t know how to do it yourself.
@mike
You can achieve a similar result with for this using block 3 on 2 columns: http://screencast.com/t/ebPjKaqT6ld6
You can see this on our demo: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-3/
Thanks
Hi,
Unfortunately the theme doesn’t have an option for that but you can follow this topic and use that method to achieve this using Advanced Custom Filed plugin: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/function-to-hide-ads-and-function-to-show-author/#post-8993
If you don’t know hoe to do this we reccomend you to hire a developer or a freelancer from sites like: http://studio.envato.com/ as we cannot offer custom work as we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support.
Thanks
Ok, thank you!
I’m using child theme now, so the update won’t be a problem for my style.css i hope
What about stuff like this in the beginning of my source:
link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’google-font
thare are some google fonts, can i move it to the bottom somehow?
Hi,
You can try to use this plugins for this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/search-exclude/ or you can try to search and find a solution online for this, you will need custom work for this, unfortunately we cannot offer custom work as we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support. You can always get a freelancer from sites like: http://studio.envato.com/ if you don’t know how to do it yourself.
