Hello,

We are still working on the speed booster plugin. To make speed booster run with all plugins, you can easly edit it like so: http://screencast.com/t/Lv17MLygXSZ

the list of tested plugins:


'bbpress/bbpress.php',
'contact-form-7/wp-contact-form-7.php',
'jetpack/jetpack.php',
'js_composer/js_composer.php',
'td-speed-booster/td-speed-booster.php',
'font-awesome-4-menus/n9m-font-awesome-4.php',
'wordpress-seo/wp-seo.php',
'wp-user-avatar/wp-user-avatar.php',
'td-social-counter/td-social-counter.php',
'wp-super-cache/wp-cache.php'


We will add more plugins as soon as we test them

@DrewSov I’ve done some tests and this is what I’ve found:

Stock WordPress + stock WordPress theme without visual composer with 2000 – 5000 terms encounters some kind of out of ram error at 246 MB regardless of the ram limit set in php.ini or in wordpress.

I will investigate this more next week.

Radu O.

@DrewSov I’m now looking at this issue. Sorry for the delay, I will do a full test with 50k in taxonomy

🙂

here is an improved shim (1.0 Beta 3): https://forum.tagdiv.com/files_for_users/td-visual-composer-shim.zip

– fixed an issue with column calculation on 1/1 full width rows
– added vc_separator shortcode
– added vc_column_text shortcode
– added vc_raw_html shortcode

the plugin it’s still a bit messy but after we finish the new Newspaper I will make it much better. All the shortcodes that are supported now are with minimal support 🙁 (ex: no designer tab support yet / no custom visual composer css support).

@Chris … do you want a beta version of Newspaper? Let me know and I will sent it via email.

Hi Chris, the original code does not work for the shim style because I’m using another id for the css (td-vc-composer-css-shim)

Here is the code that will remove the css form js composer and also from my shim on single pages.

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);

@RKdium you are right 🙂
@snowwatchGB better than a screenshot… a small video teaser is ready.

@hhealth we’re working very hard to release it on time.

The theme is in the final testing phase. It should be out in two weeks if nothing unexpected happens. We took our time to polish every detail and we are carefully testing it now.

Hi,

thanks for reporting this, I’ve added it to our issue tracker and I will fix it. The next Newspaper update is a major one and it will be released in a couple of weeks with the fix.

Hi all,

I’m working to make the visual composer shim work better and it will be released here in 1-2 days.

@mrmorrison @mattrock – we had searched for the slowdown issue for almost one month now. It appears sometimes on bigger sites but we where unable to reproduce it here. Chirs S helped me by testing the visual composer shim and it looks like it works…. so the slow down can be from visual composer.

I’ve searched a lot in visual composer for what may cause this but it looks like I have to look deeper. The plugin is damn HUGE, it’s bigger than our themes and it’s not our code so it’s hard to debug. Especially that we did not find anything unusual on the callstack traces / memory traces.

Chris thanks a lot for the feedback and help, I will analyze the stats from the email and I will get back to you.

@mrmorrison please send and email to contact@tagdiv.com with the subject URGENT FOR RADU

I will send you a list of things that would help me debug the issue.

@Chris S I’ve contact you via email.

HI,

We’re trying now to make a plugin that will allow to run the theme without visual composer once the page is built. I will get back to you via email and here when it’s done and tested.

I will work with you until we solve this, I’m very sorry about all the problems, we run a lot of tests and call stack traces on our theme and on visual composer and we still don’t know where the issue is from.

Hi,

unfortunately that is a wordpress issue with category permalinks. It does not allow users to select what category should appear in the permalinks. I would suggest to try a plugin. I know about this one but it’s a bit older: https://wordpress.org/plugins/hikari-category-permalink/ and I do no know if it works now but there are others.

Hi Mosamlife,
the site loading speed is pretty good, almost as good as our demo. I don’t think there is much you can do to get a better score than that. The score is also affected by external resurces: http://screencast.com/t/MOYUQz6YYt1g

Hi,

I’ve tested the system and we could not find any problems on the latest version. I’m very sorry for the inconvenience and we can provide you with a full refund for the theme.

Radu O.

Hello,

can you please let me know what version of the theme are you using? And your website url if possible. IF you want in private you can contact us anytime at: contact@tagdiv.com (please also paste a link to this forum thred in the email so we know who you are).

Hi Chris,

Newsmag is no longer made with bootstrap. The grid system is custom made by us. Newsmag uses a grid system that is very unique and different under the hood compared to a standard bootstrap style grid (due to the borders and other design requirements). We deliver only the fonts that we use on the ui and the icons are made in house (we don’t use one of the free icon font packs). As more and more users rely on visual composer to make pages with buttons and other ‘non news-y’ items we dedicated a lot of time to support visual composer better and to have custom styles and fixes for most of it’s components.

Newspaper 5 is also not based on bootstrap.

A solution based on visual composer will not work? I know they are basically shortcodes and will tie you to visual composer but it’s very easy to built prototypes and to customize them until you reach a nice design.

Radu O.

Hi Chris,
If possible please wait a bit more until you modify the core of the theme (2 weeks – until we deliver the next update). We plan to bring another big update to the core of the theme and after that I hope we will have a stable core for at least half a year. We are also working to bring a new api that will allow developers to build a lot of nice stuff on top of the theme.

Here is a short description:

• the tgm plugin installer can be removed safely with the code under the require_once
• td_ads.php can be removed
• td_demo_site.php is used in the backend on the view that imports the content. That view will no longer work but I think the panel should work as normal.
• td_cake.php can be removed 🙂
• td_video_playlist_support.php + td_video_playlist_render.php – can be removed if you also delete the playlist shortcode td_block_video_youtube and td_block_video_vimeo in /includes/td_config.php – we will change this file in the next update to a new structure and I don’t have on this dev machine a old copy of the file
• in td_first_install.php, this line should remain in the theme: http://screencast.com/t/0Wxs8cejxYiE
• td_smart_list.php can be removed… but if you use a smart list it will give a fatal error. The part the calls the smart lists is here: http://screencast.com/t/yJoBHOMeC that should also be deleted
• td_login.php can also be removed

If you need more information please let me know

It’s done 🙂 . Will be out in 1.5 next week. Sorry for the delay.

Hi,

theme check warnings and informations are normal. All the products that are sold on themeforest pass a rigorous quality check, including theme check.
If you cannot use the theme, we can provide you with a full refund. Please contact us via email contact@tagdiv.com

hi sorry for the delay,

Are you sure the issue is due to high cpu load? This is very unusual because usually the weakest link is the HDD/SSD (high I/O wait).

can you give me the output from sar:

sar 1 10

you should get something like this in 10 seconds http://screencast.com/t/KpiNQkRbBg

I would also suggest to make a test with the default theme from wordpress because that many posts are really pushing the limits of WordPress and MySQL (IF it’s not properly configured). The theme uses about 30% more queries than the default wordpress theme and it adds up with each block that you add to the homepage / sidebar.

Please know that issues like this are very hard to debug and the high cpu load can come from a variety of reasons including: high traffic + server that is not properly configured, poor cache choices / configurations, poor mysql configuration, slow hdd/ssd, no php op cache, WordPress limits (at that many posts, wp is almost at it’s limit and if you search a bit on the web about this you will find that it is terribly slow with many posts), etc…

Hi,
only move the # END WordPress from the end of the file to the end of the wordpress section. Some plugins look for that in .htacess
