Hi Chris.
Thank you for the feedback. I will try your suggestions. Your input is more helpful than from hostgator, which I am using for this site, although they are friendly.

Hi.
Thank you for the feedback. I have looked at the two images through the links, and I cannot see any difference between the two. To me, they both seem equally sharp. I also have an US site – http://www.theCarUSA.com – where your template works well with this image. However, for the site in India – http://www.theCarIndia.com – the image is sharp for the masonry, but not for the blocks.

I have been in contact with the host in India – hostgator – but they argue that it is not a mistake by them. I understand that your template is supposed to only crop the image, but something is disturbing the images for the block on this site – theCarIndia.

I do not use any optimizing plugins for images or videos.

Glenn

Hi.
Thank you for the feedback.
How come this is not the case for the site thecar.no? The only difference between the two is the host.

Hello again.
Just a follow-up: I see that the Newspaper theme is not affecting the clarity of the images for a third page that we are running in the USA. Is it possible that the host for the webpage where the problem with the images are can be due to restrictions by the host? We use different hosts for the three different webpages. Additionally, the image size for the blocks seems smaller than what is the case when using the two other hosts.
We have tested the same images with the same plugins, and the same column structure.

Hello Catalin.
Thank you for the response. I will contact Envato for a refund using the link provided.

Best wishes,

Hello Bogdan.
I have now changed the php.ini file so that max_execution_time is set to 60. However, the widget section is still incredibly slow. The system status for this variable is now ‘green’. Again, the widget section has been very slow from the installation of the theme.
Best, Glenn

Thank you for the feedback.

Hello.
Just a follow-up: The Max_execution_time is marked yellow and with a value of 30 even though the php.config is specified with define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’ ).

Glenn

Hello Bogdan.
Max_execution_time is yellow with a value equal to 30.

The following is green:
-http channel test
-max_input_vars
-SUHOSIN installed
-mbstring
-WP Memory Limit
-WP_DEBUG
-Caching plugin

Hello Bogdan.
The widget and CSS-coding part of appearance have been slow from the beginning of installing the template, i.e. before any accumulation of plugins. Perhaps tagdiv could take a look at these two sections alone. I used another template prior to Newspaper, and widgets and CSS-coding worked well then.

Hello. Thank you for the reply. I am in the process of deleting unnecessary plugins.

Hello.
Thank you for the reply. I am currently following your advice.

Dear Catalin.
Thank you for the feedback. I have been in contact with my host, as well as changed a few things in the wp-config.php file according you the guidelines by tagdiv. However, the wordpress is still exceptionally slow with the theme, and the cpu use is quite high, especially when using the widget section. Would you be able to take a look at the website? In that case, send me an email and I will provide the necessary log in information.

In advance, thank you for the help.

Best,
Glenn
