you know, I think Radu was going to try to come up with something like an additional user account field for “image” where you could link to the image in your media repository, but I think that wasn’t high on the 140+ user requests relative to some other stuff. I think there was a hack for that, or plugin, or something… e.g., comment out photo in the author box code, then use plugin for custom author image…. but it’s been awhile. I was out sick most of May/June, and pretty wonky the 2 months prior to that. Only been getting better the past 2 weeks. So, just getting back to this stuff.
We both need to do a search in the forum for this topic, methinks. I don’t have an answer at the moment 🙂
My website speed dropped .i couldnt able to configure w3total cache.Can somebody provide a details config guide for w3 total cache.This is website URL.Please provide a details insight .
This may or may not work for you with this theme; but general settings from a blog called online media masters, and I’ve seen the same settings elsewhere would be as so:
(THIS MAY BE INCORRECT FOR THIS THEME: BE SURE TO TRY SETTINGS FOR YOUR SETUP: KEEP BACKUPS, AND KNOW HOW TO GO BACKWARDS BEFORE USING ANY CACHE!)

Monitoring
You’ll see an option here to sign up for New Relic. This is a tool for monitoring your web and mobile apps performance. It’s more for developers but if you are one, you probably already know about this service. Otherwise, leave it blank.

◾Leave blank
Miscellaneous Settings
If you want to see your Google Page Speed score in your WordPress dashboard, there’s instructions in this menu. Otherwise, here are the settings I use:
◾Enable Google Page Speed dashboard widget: enable
◾Verify rewrite rules: checked
◾Enable file locking: unchecked
◾Optimize disk enhanced page and minify disk caching for NFS: unchecked
Debug
◾Leave everything unchecked
Import / Export Settings
If you want to use the same W3 total cache settings across multiple websites, export your settings and import them into the new WordPress sites.
I’m running the PageSpeed Insights and receiving a terrible result. On desktop im receiving a 65/100 – and I wanted to point out a lot of is has to do with ‘CSS’ (same with mobile). It’s telling me to optimize css deliver of the following (http://screencast.com/t/z9EIqVts0B2). Any suggestions? (v. 4.0.2)
Yes…. follow the suggestions found in this sticky topic.
1) make sure you have proper expiration headers
2) make sure you have gzip/deflate running on your server
3) use the speedbooster tagdiv plugin
4) use an image optimization tool (e.g., smushit, or similar) and/or set compression level in your functions.php file
Use GTMetrix to see anything you need to fix except for minifying the CSS and Java; if you wish to minimize that you can do so using the tips I’ve included for using CSSminifier, etc.
However, expiration headers, cache control headers in htaccess file, and gzip/deflate running on your server are good for 20 points of your problem and will get you into the 85 range once you solve that.

Has anyone a resolution for this?
First point: the thing with the strings – what can I do here?
I activated in my plugin : Remove “?ver=XXX” part from URL (still not better)
And the Bad Request : 2 of them are deleted pictures… I asked google- but couldn’t find instruction to fix that! The Pictures are deleted from FTP – what else can I do and how exactly? (explanation for a dizzy blonde please! 😉 )
seems like I solved a few problems myself.
Hey Steven, hey peps!
maybe you can help me with that:
switched to cloudflare but having problems with the last steps:
http://www.intodns.com/cherrykoks.de
it says:
Error Missing nameservers reported by parent FAIL: The following nameservers are listed at your nameservers as nameservers for your domain, but are not listed at the parent nameservers (see RFC2181 5.4.1). You need to make sure that these nameservers are working.If they are not working ok, you may have problems!
rihana.ns.cloudflare.com
nick.ns.cloudflare.com
Error Missing nameservers reported by your nameservers ERROR: One or more of the nameservers listed at the parent servers are not listed as NS records at your nameservers. The problem NS records are:
ns.namespace4you.de
ns2.namespace4you.de
This is listed as an ERROR because there are some cases where nasty problems can occur (if the TTLs vary from the NS records at the root servers and the NS records point to your own domain, for example).
What am I supposed to do?
My host is df.eu
Do I have to change the NS Records? And if so, how and to which source?
Thanks
FYI : http://who.is/dns/cherrykoks.de and http://www.intodns.com/cherrykoks.de
Hey @Cherry yes you have to change ur host nameservers to cloudflare ones,to change the nameservers u have to go in ur host DNS settings and look for there name servers and put cloudflare ones ::
rihana.ns.cloudflare.com
nick.ns.cloudflare.com
Query Strings Remover
The plugin name is “Query Strings Remover” by the author Atul Kumar Pandey
You can download this plugin via the wordpress website @ this url
Hey Steven, think I solved this.
Look:
the nameservers are already changed in my CP at df.eu
But:
I had to deactivate “On CloudFlare Traffic will be accelerated by CloudFlare” for this:
Type A and Type AAAA
The result now is this: http://dnscheck.pingdom.com/?domain=cherrykoks.de
P.S I already have the strings remover installed, but not working because I added this to the functions.php
/** Remove Query strings from Static Resources. */
function _remove_script_version( $src ){
$parts = explode( ‘?’, $src );
return $parts[0];
}
add_filter( ‘script_loader_src’, ‘_remove_script_version’, 15, 1 );
add_filter( ‘style_loader_src’, ‘_remove_script_version’, 15, 1 );
<?php
}
add_action(‘print_media_templates’, ‘td_change_backbone_js_hook’);
Do you recommend to delete that code, and let the plugin do its work oder anything else?
And: any tip for bad request?
There are two pictures deleted from ftp

GTMetrix is complaining about this….
thank you very much
First you can only used one at a time may be u could used the plugin and removed that code and see which is more effective…
Did you put ur server Ip in the field for the A opition so that cloudflare can put they Ip to urs..
Here is a setup in cloudflare..DNS ZONE
1. Type A
2. Name (YOURSITENAME)
3. Value (Host IP)
4. TTL (Automatic)
If ur site direct traffic with out a www…
Then this setting is important..
1. CNAME
2. Name WWW
3. Value (is an alias of YOURSITENAME) WITH OUT THE WWW
4. TTL (Automatic)
You going need this plugin as well…get it via wordpress
I’ve check ur source code and cloudflare is not active as yet on ur host..check those settings i posted above…
After you set up the DNS settings in cloudflare then you need to go in cloudflare settings and set those as well..
1. Performance settings:: (CDN + FULL Optimization),
Hey Steven check this :
http://www.screencast.com/t/pSexNxHmP52
Do I have to change something?
Yeah, will delete the code and use the plugin (query strings remover)
Already installed cloud flare plugin to WP
Would be nice if you could tell which IP I have to insert and WHERE
Thanks!
WOW That’s lot stuff…
You need to delete some of them..you only need the A opition on the top…and active that also all those CAME need to be removed as well you only need one…
You only need one MX as well delete the first one..
and set the (priority 0) make sure in ur cpanel on ur host it’s set to 0…
You need the IP that ur host give u,it should be in ur DNS settings in ur host account are you can go in cpanel and find it there on the left side of the panel…
The IP to Type A is set automatically- I think it’s from the host, which IP has to be in there?
So I just go in there and say:
“delete record”?
and all also delete all cnames plus deactivating them?
But I don’t delete them in cpanel on my host right?
ok now we have this right here:
http://www.screencast.com/t/o07TJqlhsflZ
is the IP correct?
Also edited the priority on cpanel to 0
by the way: didn’t choose fully optimization because of the Javascript Minify….
the documentation says: no js minfier
no you don’t delete nothing in cpanel..that ip is not ur host it’s cloudflare ip that’s why u need to add urs in the A section…

you have two A OPITIONS that’s why i say delete all the rest u have and only used the first one…
Now it’s perfect cherry..good job
Oh ok, and the IP is correct? 🙂
choose (CDN + FULL Optimization) it not going harm ur site just make it better..lol
Yeay, ok activated- with rocket loader on automatic?
Now go back in clouldflare and purge ur site so it clean all the old cache..
