And doing this will fix this?

But when I right click on the image URL, it is being served as the full sized image /uploads/image01.jpg and not /image01-300-300.jpg (Just making up size numbers). So according to Google Page Speed, I need to resize my images.

thanks. that will do what I asked? Please answer the question.

If there is any way to check this without the 6+ hours of work you just described, I would really appreciate it. Can anyone tell me what file this code is pulling from? I’d really love to try and check that file first before wasting another day on this (since the other developers took my site down already).

content: ‘\f145’;
font-family: ‘FontAwesome’;

If that coding isn’t working, is there a specific place I can look to see if a fontawesome file is there?

Thanks.

I’d love the answer to my question. Please consider this topic open. where I can find/add the file that should make this work?

FYI- installing the Font Awesome Icons plugin fixed the issue. So I know it’s not the code. But I’d prefer not have another plugin so if there is a better way to fix what I know worked without the plugin, that would be great. Thanks.

@Chris – thanks. It was indeed lazy load. now gone, along the speed booster. Oh well. Two of the reasons I liked this theme.

Chris – as always, thank you. Lazy load is turned on – but I want it that way. I do have smush it – but that doesn’t explain why only images served by the theme aren’t showing.

The rest is out of my league.

Andrei – where can I provide you my URL privately? Bottom line – sometimes the images show, sometimes they don’t. And it appears to be totally random – and independent of browser, device, caching or whether I’m logged in.
Thanks!

Same here. Images used by the theme are not showing. All manually coded images (in the posts) are showing, all Woocommerce images are showing…but those served by theme on homepage, sidebar blocks, etc (using VC) are not showing.
Version 7.1.1 (tried w and w/o Speed Booster)

What are some common reasons images would not display on a desktop? They are fine on mobile- or they may be cached.

Pradeep – this is really great, thank you. I’ve been wanting to do this…

BUT, I followed the initial instructions (changed header-menu.php in the Child Theme) but it made the search icon disappear from the main menu?

Here’s the code I used. Any thoughts?

<div class="header-search-wrap">
<div class="dropdown header-search">
<div class="td-drop-down-search" aria-labelledby="td-header-search-button">
<form role="search" method="get" class="td-search-form" action="/visitor-sitemap">
<div class="td-head-form-search-wrap">
<input id="td-header-search" type="text" value="Search" name="q" class="s search-input" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Search') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Search';}" /> <input type="submit" id="td-header-search-top" class="wpb_button wpb_btn-inverse btn" value="Search" />
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Yes, I always forget that sometimes the child css doesn’t work (sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t) and that I have to copy and paste the child css into the theme options.

As you know, not an easy thing to remember when usual FTP has worked for years…

Thank you. I used the CSS method. The words “More from Author” are still there and when you click the words either “MFA” or Related, the links take you back to the top of the page.

So I dug around for 15 minutes to find your post.

I’ve added both these to my .htaccess

ExpiresByType application/x-font-woff A31536000
ExpiresByType application/x-font-woff “access plus 2500000 seconds”

and google still has it as an issue.

Yeah – I’ll stay away from the advanced part and just try different plugins. I still have the CSS issues with google, but the speed booster didn’t make an impact on speed – at all – and killed my child css.

Do you know how to set an exp for .woff? Google is giving me this error:

Setting an expiry date or a maximum age in the HTTP headers for static resources instructs the browser to load previously downloaded resources from local disk rather than over the network.

http://www.domain.org/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/images/icons/newspaper.woff?9

If you could tell me exactly what to put in .htaccess that would be great.

Thank you. I had to remove the tagdiv speed booster because it eliminated my Child CSS. I finally got it to work after a lot of trial and error – since no one here would provide any more instructions than “comment it out,” which I couldn’t figure out.

I don’t think it helped my page speed score either. Removing it actually improved my mobile page speed score by 20 points.

Please explain how to do this:

You can trick it though at your own risk by removing the compatibility function from within it’s code:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tinymce-advanced-and-other-various-disabling-speed-boster/

Either explain how to comment it out or how delete it all together. Precisely – including semi colons, etc.

You Booster isn’t even compatible with the Envato Theme updater – so clearly, everyone is going to need to know how to do this.

Nevermind. I took out this:
// disable the plugins if there are incompatible plugins
$active_plugins = get_option(‘active_plugins’);
//print_r($active_plugins);
//die;
foreach ($active_plugins as $active_plugin) {
if (!in_array($active_plugin, $this->allowed_plugins)) {
define(‘TD_SPEED_BOOSTER_INCOMPATIBLE’ , $active_plugin);
return;
}
}

And it completely ruined my CSS and site format. So I guess I can’t use the booster.

Exactly how do you comment out code? Is this it? Please don’t screenshot – send me something I can copy and paste. Thanks.

<?php // the_content(Continue Reading…); ?>
private $allowed_plugins = array(
‘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’,

);

Bogden – that is it! Booster is not enabled. Conflict with adrotate. You should add that little bit to your page on how to speed up your site I linked to above – because that could save someone else the 6 hours I totally wasted!

I’m just trying to follow their guidelines per the link I put above…I haven’t made it to your post yet, this isn’t my speciality but it is near impossible to hire anyone b/c they never realize that when they fix one thing, they screw up something else, and then I have to clean up after them. So now I’m trying to learn and understand…I wouldn’t know what “critical” css is.

Your answer doesn’t explain why Google PS and the errors havent moved after doing what the instructions say.

Following…

Everything got stripped and I had to recreate all my sidebars. Nightmare. I’ts never happened with any other theme and there are no characters in my sidebar names. So it definitely seems to be theme related.

So is there any way to get my menu to look as good as your demo (I thought this was part of the theme, I didn’t realize it was a plugin) but control which posts are in the menu? I can’t use categories for the most part. But even where I can use categories, why do only 5 posts show up when it should be 20?

I added Mega Menu:
1) It’s only showing 5 posts in the drop down. how do I control the number of drop down items?
2) I manually control my menus – the posts mega menu is showing is not the ones I want. Can I manually control them?

I’ll look into the page menu next. Confusing.

I tested what you said – and the only way it works is if it is the ONLY category. If Category X is primary, but there are other categories, the custom sidebar doesn’t work. But if Category X is the ONLY category than it shows the correct sidebar.

Why is that? And can you fix it so it works correctly?
