Hi Guys, we work on an unmanaged dedicated server, and would like to know the right setup for our server to make it work perfectly with the tagDiv newspaper theme. Is there any “must-have”? How should we set Apache to work fine?
Please let us know!
Thank you for your great and precious assistance.
Basically you should optimize your setup to run WordPress, and once that is functional, then worry about the theme, as it is just an overlay on WordPress functionality (which is how themes work). So, if your server is optimized for WordPress, then it’s optimized for the theme.
You can *then* do further optimizations for WP, like making sure image magick is working, making sure you have gzip/deflate working, using memcache/APC/opcache or similar, and possibly setting up mod_pagespeed. All that can be done separate from the theme.
However, there are some suggestions for speeding up the theme in the theme docs, and I’ve posted various things I’ve done in the pagespeed sticky topic (some of which is now in the docs, obviously, also).
And of course the official WordPress docs (codex), always great place to start!

We use EasyEngine framework for our project, works great
