Hi, thanks. I have downloaded the latest update. Am keen to know if the update will overwrite the menu structure and other changes that I have done on previous version? If yes, is there a process to avoid it, pls highlight so I can proceed with upgrading to the latest version.
hi,
I thought that you are talking about this date : http://screencast.com/t/2bvSl04Ewn
try this
.similar-articles .meta-info .entry-date, p.logged-in-as {
color: #ff0000;
}
Note: if you use only :
.meta-info .entry-date, p.logged-in-as {
color: #ff0000;
}
you will change the color of the date in many places.
how did you add that lines after the ‘Post Comment’ button? i did not find that.
Thanks for you message.

Did not seem to work:
AH! Digg Digg likely had a CSS conflict or a JavaScript element not updated, or which was being inserted into the page but not being enqueued, or one of those funky gremlins. Whew!
I hate that kind of stuff.
One of my friends has a site using JetPack, where the the related stories thing kept giving him “too many connections” errors and printing that in the story box – not very fetching as a related story. Turned out is was conflict with the AddThis “Layers” plugin being used for the slider/sticky sidebar social icons (same idea as Digg Digg). Weird.
That bit of code to “sticky” stuff on left side, on any bootstrap related theme might be a recurring culprit, methinks.
Thanks for the update, that does work better 😀
Hi,
What value you consider is fine for letter setting there? We will make it for the following updates.
Thanks!
thanks Radu, its better but its still not right
the ad is now perfectly centered, but the logo isn’t
Sorry!

Good’ve only detected in breadcrumbs. Do you going to fix in future updates? is that I prefer not having to touch php files
thanks!
Hi,
I just figured out what was causing the problem and thought to post an update here to let others know in case they may have the same problems.
I have W3 Total Cache plugin installed, it is best to use the default Minify settings otherwise they will interfere with the HTML which is not good 🙂
But I am still having issues with #6: The color of the date and the comment options are too light to read, need to make them darker?
Thanks Marius, but like I said, I have tried to adjust the position and it doesn’t make a difference. This has only happened since the last update and it was perfectly centered before then.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
Andrew
Hi,
Please can you make your logo at 100 px height transparent. Also you can move the header(logo + ad) from here: http://screencast.com/t/WP6jRKSkn
Thanks!
Hi,
In the next update we have the @site-name in Twitter share ready. ABout before and after the post we will take a look.
About the issue with | i don’t have a solution yet. I search on Google about that and nothing fount.
Thanks!
Hi,
I will add this on the todo list for the future updates. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hi,
The HTML structure is different from the original, are you sure that is the original theme without code touched?
see here the difference: http://screencast.com/t/uMS26lYwv
hi
since doing the last update my header is lower than it should be, meaning that both the ad and the logo are too low down and not centered. I have tried adjusted the position but it doesn’t seem to work.

Hi
me again, so it looks like when I update to your latest version I am having this issue as I have just updated your theme on another one of my website and have the same issue.
Hi,
I was looking into some of the features for categories in the theme. I noticed that, if I don’t hide categories for posts, and select a Primary Category in posts (also other categories), the theme shows all of the categories! I mean, I want to show only the Primary Category and not others that are selected. I hope tagDiv brings this feature to the next update.
Another feature I would like to request is, I want to show a Twitter icon with a @username beside it. I have already added the author name under posts titles and wan to add this icon beside it. You can see what I’m talking about here: http://screencast.com/t/EBNdKGIjko
Thanks!
Minify CSS
Minify JavaScript
Minify CSS

so ideally will be to have it done automatically ???
is there a way ???
just trying to improve page speed … mobile 58 / desktop 77
thanks
Hello,
I just updated to 3.6 via FTP. Everything went fine except that, in Main Menu, the “switch menu icons color”, is not working any longer. Or, to be precise, it just works with the Home icon, not for text menus. You can see here on my site, where characters are turned black even if I use the white choice in the switch. Any suggestion?
Mario
I would stick with ONLY enabling Page Cache.
And now … my morning soapbox: brought to you by clean living and cute kittens ….
Remember that if you’re using the TagDiv Speed Booster plugin, it is MOVING things around on the page for better performance when the page is loaded. You do not want the dynamic stuff cached or it won’t show updates to things on pages. Your home page would not show new items, categories wouldn’t show new items, sidebars wouldn’t show new, recent, related, etc.
So, you only want to enable the page cache which will basically serve up a snapshot of the page and not the dynamic stuff which is still called via php.
Newspaper type sites are way more complex than say, a blog about raising rabbits on a farm, or a bicycling blog updated once a month. If you have content updated daily, or even hourly, caching can help with speed and limit load on server, but it can be TRICKY to optimize for YOUR particular website, due to how elements are loaded on pages, where they are, what other optimizations are running, etc.
There truly is no “one click” caching option for any busy, complex website. Blogs sure. Complex websites need to be tweaked for advanced tools like caching, just like all the other tweaks not built-in to WordPress, or the theme.
So, for most advanced users, there is trial and error – nothing to do with the theme, and not covered by support team for your particular use.
The theme devs have “recommended” you only use Page Cache, as that is how they achieve their own high speed rating/score.
So, you may wish to
1) fully optimize your site, outside of caching!
2) enable tagdiv speed booster and make sure nothing breaks if you’re using some kind of external plugin which might conflict with the optimizations (on our site the < > arrows disappear in 3.6, with WP 3.8.1; with 3.5 the slide out “you might like” broke) — you have to decide if this is a benefit for you or not; YOU need to test, decide, then either use or not for YOUR particular solution
3) make trusted backups of your site before doing any caching!!
4) enable W3C and use page cache only; test your site — either determine if it works for you or not, and some trade offs, and if there are workarounds for some things like page counters, random or recent dynamic elements, etc. — and there are forum posts on issues other have faced with using specific plugins, or with certain features in use (e.g., JetPack, forms, membership, bbpress, etc.)
5) adjust, test, adjust, test.
If you have no idea how to do any of that you likely would need to hire a developer at an hourly rate. Or, do what most of us do which is trial, error, forums, Google search, test, retest, learn, fail, learn.
The reason there is no simple “how to” for caching, is that there are a hundred things which might be impacted by that if you turn on every option in the theme and load up a dozen external plugins.
In a perfect world, for caching, the average joe might try this:
1) setup the theme with only the basic functions; no special menu, no JetPack, no “counters” for social media reads, one ad management system or AdSense.
2) enable tagDiv Speed Booster BETA plugin to optimize the placement of the CSS, JS components, Google fonts, et al.
3) put in the basic optimizations: a) gzip/deflate at server level, b) htaccess, c) image optimization tweaks (plugin, and/or functions.php mod from my speed posts)
4) W3C or other caching with minimal page caching settings.
5) test site.
6) turn on the “fun” features like megamenu, jetpack, forms, social reads/likes; choose what works; what doesn’t — either find workaround or don’t use.
There is ALWAYS a tradeoff between speed and features. You can’t have 100 add-ons and have the speed of a site with 15 add-ons. So, YOU need to decide if speed vs features matters, or other way around.
Hope that helps somebody!

Amazing, thank you again it’s working (not 100% but it’s better already).
Anyway for a future update it will be great to add more possibility for the mega menu, like the mega menu plugin maybe.
Thank you again!
Is there any updates about when this feature is coming? As i’d really like my popular widget to work with cache.
Thanks 🙂
