Search Results for 'use visual'

Thank you Alin for helping me out.

First, it was hard where to find the visual composer or page build because I didn’t see it from Theme Settings or WP Settings, I found it in Page > Add new after searching from documentation.

🙂

Yes…. I think you will need to do what we did:

a) use older version of Visual Composer — which the main thing is missing is the extra woocommerce modules, I think.

b) possibly use the SHIM plugin; where you would setup your home page with VC then turn VC off leaving the shim plugin active.

In theory, if you go back to a 4.3.5 version of VC the shim may not be needed. It’s really only needed with the 4.4x versions which added a ton of ‘code bloat’ and hence the CPU issues started to crop up. Likely you’re getting a 503 due to how they have your container setup; in our case having dedicated server, it didn’t kill the box entirely but it started to really slow down when CPU usage jumped by 50 times normal load (!) — might be 500 or 5000 times normal load, actually — dropping a zero someplace there.

Okay, direct from grand wizard Mr. Radu …. here is the code to hide the shim and VC on post pages for those of us who only use VC for home page or whatever and do NOT use it for posts! You don’t need to use *this* version unless you’re using the SHIM plugin to deal with CPU spikes with VC versions post 4.4 (for regular code for just hiding VC on posts, see the prior post ABOVE).

Here is updated from RADU June 5, 2015:
(and this goes in functions.php file in main root of theme folder, for those who did not already know that . . . )

function dequeue_visual_composer_css() {
if (is_single()) {
wp_dequeue_style('js_composer_front');
wp_dequeue_style('td-vc-composer-css-shim');
}
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dequeue_visual_composer_css', 1003);

Hello from California 🙂

Hello folks.

I’m also having issues with trying to save theme settings. I’m using the latest version of both WordPress and Newsmag themes. I’ve disabled all plug-ins except for Wordfence, WPBakery Visual Composer,Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer, tagDiv Visual Composer Shim and tagDiv Speed Booster.

When in the theme settings page in the admin panel, I’m able to modify most of the settings without any issue. However, when I try to click on the Block predefined style section links to modify them, the ajax spinning icon just hangs and doesn’t pop open the menu. When I pull open the dev console in Chrome, I noticed this:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token < admin.php:1

Things that I’ve tried:

Cleared both the server cache and the browser cache.

I’ve spoken with my host, HostGator and asked them to check the admin-ajax.php and confirm that it wasn’t being blocked, which they said it wasn’t. They also stated that the maximum memory limit is already set to 256, and cannot be changed by the end-user on a shared hosting account.

Reference: http://support.hostgator.com/articles/cpanel/php-settings-that-cannot-be-changed

memory_limit = 256M (MAXIMUM)

Per Chris’s link above, I also went into the wp-config.php file and added the following line of code:

/** Increased memory allotment to prevent Ajax Errors. https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP */
define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );

(The official WordPress.org article Chris showed said you had to add it in prior to settings.)

Please note, this has to be put before wp-settings.php inclusion.

You can see it in-line where I included it right after the absolute path section, and before the wp-settings.php section, here:

/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
	define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');

/** Increased memory allotment to prevent Ajax Errors. https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP */
define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );

/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');

Perhaps this is related, but when I’m on the front end, and try to use the left and right arrows to scroll through content in the various section blocks, the ajax loading icon just spins, and the console spits out the following error:

SyntaxError: Unexpected token < madlymanly.com/:1

Any thoughts as to what is causing the syntax error message in the console? Thank you in advance for the help!

Chris, thanks for the response.

This is what the hosting company told me about the issue – please bear with me since I’m not very accustomed to such issues.

I have checked the logs of rcdronearena.com and found the following error messages:-

Please note that, the long_query_time set for the MySQL service is 15 seconds.
Since it is a shared server, we can't alter this values for single domain. We have set this limit carefully to avoid any wastage/abuse of server resources and increasing the limit will result in degradation of server's performance.

Do you think I need an older version of Visual Composer?

Thanks once again.

Damn, meant to say, for those thinking this might be an issue with NewsMag or Newspaper, that the issues with Visual Composer being discussed in this thread are not unique to tagDiv themes. I’m also using A-Bomb by 007Theme, aka Ridwan Reedwan, which uses VC 4.4.4 and is very similar to NewsMag/Newspaper, and experiencing the same kind of load issues. Not as bad as NewsMag 1.7 was for me on the same site, but tagDiv integrates VC with a lot more features than the A-Bomb theme does, so it makes sense that it drains a bit more.

Marius/Radu..
going to post this here since relevant to the SHIM users and also those who follow my thread on optimizations … somebody brought up good point I had forgotten about …. any ideas for updating this functions.php element to remove the SHIM css from the post pages … this code you provided for the VC plugin obviously doesn’t work for the SHIM; and I have hunch we might have to put something into one of the booster files also?

——–old code you created to hide VC css from post pages — does not hide SHIM css on post pages————snip:

add_action('init', 'myoverride', 100);
function myoverride() {
remove_action('wp_head', array(visual_composer(), 'addMetaData'));
}

function dequeue_visual_composer_css() {
if (is_single()) {
wp_dequeue_style('js_composer_front');
}
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dequeue_visual_composer_css', 1003);

thank you kindly 🙂

Absolutely true. Everything “weird” started with 4.4 and when they started adding a bunch of new things for WooCommerce and adding some things which I think were designed to roll-in things others were selling as extensions/add-ons to VC.

So, for low traffic site, VC 4.42 and Newsmag 1.71 work fine. High traffic site and VC 4.5x .. not so much.

With VC 4.3.5 we never had *any* problems. Newsmag 1.71 good to update to for the WP security fixes, and then try to either use shim, or older version of VC.

AGAIN TO ANY AND ALL: issue *not* with the theme — it’s nothing TagDiv ‘needs to fix’ with new theme version. It’s an issue with Visual Composer from WP Bakery, bundled with theme to provide dashboard and additional widgets for custom layouts. Issue doesn’t impact ALL sites/servers. Oddly it seems worse with those of use with dedicated servers, but really weird things happen. Only real solution — I think — is for VC to fully re-write their code from ground up based on current version of WP, optimize it, and possibly break some things into extensions that most people don’t use. Why have all the code bloat for WooCommerce if not using that on a magazine site?

Anyway…. just my input on this topic since I was one affected. I don’t speak for TagDiv in any way… just my opinions.
