It says on the same Page. You can’t edit a page using both TagDiv Composer and Visual Composer.

These are posts, not pages.

TagDiv Composer does not work on Posts.

I think you misunderstood my post.

I am NOT USING the plug-in.

I have stopped using the “Google Tag Manager for WordPress Plugin.”

Instead of using a plug-in, I want to install the Google Tag Manager manually. It operates similar to Google Analytics.

https://developers.google.com/tag-manager/quickstart

It is SECOND most installed feature of Google’s Analytic Tool Suite. Being so popular and widely used, I was hoping there would already be a set and proven method to install with your theme.

For many, not using Google Tag Manager is not an option. It must be installed.

I was asking for the best method of modifying the CHILD THEME to added the needed Google Tag Manager Code Snippets.

It has these two requirements:
1. Paste some GTM code as high in the <head> of the page as possible.
2. Additionally, paste addtional GTM code immediately after the opening <body> tag

With that said, you are saying I should copy header.php to the child theme, and modify it there? Is that correct? Is that the best method? Is there another approach?

I found the problem. It was the Google Tag Manager for WordPress Plugin.

Without using a plug in, what would be the best way to install Google Tag Manager?

Google Tag Manager asks me to do two things:

1. Paste some GTM code as high in the <head> of the page as possible.
2. Additionally, paste addtional GTM code immediately after the opening <body> tag

I am now doing testing on our staging site:
http://clnnew.staging.wpengine.com/

What can I use for anti-brute force on the login page? Any approved captcha or recaptcha options?

What about a workable Ads Manager for WordPress that will work with your theme? I just want to put in rotating ads. Nothing fancy.

Anything from CodeCanyon like WP AdPress or Ads Pro Plugin?

Social Sharing For Pages - reply
#146429
Dec 4, 2016 at 2:16 am

I created a landing page for the topic of WNFR in Las Vegas:
https://cowboylifestylenetwork.com/nfr-las-vegas/

I shared it on Facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/GoCLN/posts/1160469957339579

But there is no easy way for our visitors to share the page directly from the page like you do with a post.

There must be an option check, shortcode or widget I missed.

Place Google Translate into the header or top of Newsmag? - reply

Yes, Katie has the problem described perfectly.

The current way it appears is clunky and it looks really bad.

It is just floating in the wrong place way off to the side.

Is there a way to get it to look better integrated, and in a position so people can see it for desktop and mobile users?

I had an issue where all my social sharing buttons disappeared and other weirdness.

http://cowboylifestylenetwork.com/chef-magbanua-brings-experience-creativity-arroyo-grille/

I had to copy the images directory into the child theme.

I also updated the style.css from the new child theme.

I don’t think the change long had any changes to functions.php or header.php.

Try purging the cache and hit ctrl-f5 on your browser.

I think the CSS is getting cached, and it is old.

Are you using a child theme?

It works. You have to install the latest version of Newsmag and VC 4.11.

You may need to manually update VC after you update NewsMag.

All my included plugins are way out of date.

I have to go in and check each one manually with what is in the plugins folder.

Where is a list of the the current plugin versions that go with the current theme version?

Updating things is a real pain.

It does not alert me like it should.

Where is the list of the current plugins for the Theme so I can check they updated properly or not?

Right now I download. Unzip. Then go into the plugins. Unzip again. Go and try to find the version info blah blah.

Where is a listing that I can trust is updated on time every time?

The problem is that 68% of my visitors are coming in on a mobile phones and most of that traffic is iPhones.

That is about 1 in 3 can login/logout/register easily. It may as well not even exist at that point.

If the theme can’t do it, I am willing to buy a plugin that will. I just want to know it will work before I spend the cash. The refund game is a pain in the ass.

it is just one of those things people notice if it is not there. At least one rotating ad position makes you look more pro.

We put in banner ads of charities we like in a rotating spot or senate vote alerts. At least 5. We don’t expect any real revenue from it. Just something interesting and helpful.

That is why we do our own rotating ads, and not google ads or whatever.

Fast Fact: Initial tests show Adpress works without a problem.

I have been using Adpress on our old site for years.

Adpress is not perfect, but it is a beast I know and it has yet to fail me so far. Plus the author is a cool cat.

We use Adpress simply. Only we the staff post ads, and all of our ads are images in our media library. We don’t do anything else but that.

We are upgrading our theme to NewsMag. We are doing testing on a dummy site with the demo and Adpress.

If my info is useful and you decide to buy Adpress, click on this affiliate link. Never used an affiliate link, so what the hell. Why not now.
http://codecanyon.net/item/adpress-wordpress-advertising-plugin/1510785?ref=GideonLupine

First I uploaded a 728×90 image to the Media Library.

Then I created a Adpress Campaign. Ad Type Image. Ads Number 20. Image Size 728×90. Clicks 10,000. Column Number 1. Price 0. Ad Rotation checked with Ads to Display 1.

This created a AdPress Campaign shortcode of

[adpress campaign=1]

Then I went to Ad Press Settings Image Ad. Deleted everything in both HTML Code and CSS Style. Then I entered in HTML code the following:


a href="@url" target="_blank" img src="@image_src" //a

I was wondering the best place to put “td-all-devices”, but I decided to make it flexible.

In NewsMag Theme panel Ads for Header Ad, I entered in the following:

<div class=”td-all-devices”>[adpress campaign=1]</div>`

I also just threw in the Adpress Campaign shortcode into a post.

Long story short. It worked both places and was responsive.

I will do some more testing and let you know how it goes.
