Plugin was updated today, April 10.

sorry…. the formatting got lost in the post …. look at that section to see what I was talking about.

e.g.,

[ Version 7.8.1 ]
– improvement: we updated Visual Composer to the latest version.
– improvement: tagDiv Social Counter was updated to the latest version, this fixes the issue with Facebook

[ Version 7.8 ]
– new: Huge improvement with the spacing of elements and the grid. We compleatly rewrote the grid system to allow easier full width rows and headers. Expect more full width options soon 🙂
– new: clear cache debug button for video playlists
– new: speed booster plugin version. Please update it if you use it.
– new: pinterest block and widget. Show your pinterest boards in style with this new block. Please note that this block is in testing phase.
– new: the main menu of the theme was redesigned from scratch
– new: Added a lot of options for colors on menu
– header and footer full width support
– improvement: better plugin descriptions and help text
– improvement: all big grids now show a nice error message when they don’t fit in the layout of the site. (when used on one column or two)
– fix: added various missing translations to the translation panel
– fix: some block templates where not able to change color on firefox due to a scoped style
– fix: we removed the offset from ajax requests, this provides a better user experience with the theme and the filters
– fix: the global modal window now ignores pictures with external links. Before this update, the modal windows was trying to open the external link
– fix: the jetpack sorting method on blocks now works as expected again
– fix: block header 17 on social counter now works as expected

– fix: post template 1 featured image sizing bug
– fix: all embeds that overflow content on small screens are now fixed
– fix: repaint in Chrome browser on blocks that use Load More
– fix: mobile theme now works with revolution slider as expected

The changelog has traditionally been found in the “all files” download for theme the past 3 years. Worth a look!

Probably need to edit the module in the theme where the ‘get tags’ is being generated;
or add a function hook of some kind;
or, make a new function to get tags, add the rel=nofollow, and then place that in your post templates replacing the ‘get tags’ code from the theme.

Try adding the rel=nofollow manually — perhaps, in t he section around line 730 in

/theme/includes/wp-booster/td_module_single_base.php

$buffy .= '

';

not sure that is right place

Heh. No worries. Common question.

I usually find it two places

A) in the “changelog” found in the all files zip for theme each time you download
B) on the theme page at bottom, on ThemeForest

Might be other places, too – but that’s what I do 🙂

If you create a ‘user’ account, the user then needs to login to the WP admin panel as that user, and then that user (contributor/author) can create posts. Then when you login as admin, you will see the posts as pending, which you can then publish/make live.

That is not managed by the theme in any way, so you might want to spend some time with the basic WordPress.org codex (‘docs’) to better understand how that works — it’s not managed by the theme and so kind of up to you to educate yourself on how WordPress works.

e.g.,

You likely want to contact ThemeForest to get your account login and password reset so you can re-download current versions, which you’d need to do even if using the Envato toolkit which requires you to login to your account. Probably sending Envato your license code they’d be able to update your account for you.

Best to update via FTP, as the Envato plugin breaks stuff more than updates…

Testing a ‘post’ on your site with GTMetrix.com (free) also insightful to see what you need to optimize for things like image optimaztion, time to live, server performance, etc.

See the theme docs and ‘tutorials’ section for tips on how to optimize your site for final deploy.

Any theme with complex CSS pre-builds, Visual Composer, and multiple options, will be “heavier” than a simple blog theme. Normally you determine your design choices, then optimize.

Yes, so try another?

Not all plugins work with all themes or play well with other plugins either due to non-standard use of WP class IDs, not been updated to work with latest WP, or can’t write to custom elements.

So, you have to trial/error different plugins to see which one works and which doesn’t.

Also try disabling other plugins to see if conflict, also check error log in WP (debug), and/or Chrome F12 errors, etc.

I personally dislike VC … but it’s the most popular builder solution out there, and used by most of the biggest selling themes on ThemeForest, and arguably better for most peeps that using a totally custom builder that might be abandoned at any point.

We stopped using it due to the server CPU oddities, and the fact it keeps getting bigger and bigger with things we will personally never use, so the WPION “sideways” project TagDiv is doing is pretty cool. 🙂

Best to use a plugin for this. There are several on wordpress.org that will set all your internal links to rel=nofollow. Just make sure it’s been updated to work with WP 4.7x.

Normal semantic markup for the H tag is to be a “headline” not a single “element.” So, in semantic markup a dropcap should not be an H tag and cannot be inside a P paragraph tag.

Having an H tag for SEO inside a P tag would break that value due to incorrect usage of modern HTML and markup and generate errors on Google validation and other tools.

Generally you would need to stack classes, such as

for the drop cap, do

<div class="h3 h3dropcap">Puppy mills </div><p class="pdropcap">are bad, and should be banned.</p>

and then setup custom css for ‘h3dropcap’ and ‘pdropcap’ to adjust desired margin height/width and be relative larger em size and baseline align to top. You basically need to “roll your own” for anything not included with the theme, such as this, or hire a developer.

Basic CSS, but you need to do it yourself, TagDiv can’t write CSS for you, and generally won’t help you write “bad” HTML, either 😉

(( Just my opinion. I don’t work here. ))

You don’t need any special requirements for ANY theme to get accepted by AdSense. It’s not theme related, but content and consistency related, as noted in the AdSense guidelines.

Step by step: read the AdSense docs !

You get the latest ‘bundled’ version of VC when the theme is next updated. You can buy your own license at any time if you have a burning need for it, but might not be secure, bug free, or compatible with theme until fully “qualified” as such. See the theme docs on how to update VC.

See answer to your query on the other thread 😉

Correction: I’m actually using the final BETA from the Github site from Dec./Jan., not the WPION version, which is a rev or three newer.

I think the SHIM was abandoned, due to the successor being the BETA plugin “TagDiv Composer”…

The trick right now if the Github page is still down, is to get the free version of the “WPION” theme from their commercial website and use the TD composer plugin included with that. This is what I’m doing on the Newsmag 3.1 theme in place of the ooooold shim workaround. For me that stopped working when we moved to 3x version of Newsmag and finally moved to PHP 5.6 from 5.4 in prep for 7.

I’m actually considering switching out Newsmag to WPION paid version.

Note the TD Composer “might” not work, but should work. You will have to redo your home page layout again, but trick is to make a snapshot of it while working with old version, and then “map” that out using the new version of TD Composer … much improved over the shim!

I suppose I was one of several people who “caused” the shim dev in first place as our old server would spike to 72 vs 0.8 with VC back in 2014. But shim pretty much retired.

Hope that helped.

Typically you’d review the docs for the caching plugin you’re using, as that is not unique to the theme in any way, and not theme specific. Ideally if you have specific page you don’t want cached, you’d set that as an exception in your cache plugin settings.

I’m not sure you can except possibly removing the mobile “viewport” sizes in the style.css as with any theme.

However, theme is sold as “responsive” and Google prefers you have a mobile friendly site, so “bad” to not be responsive, unless you’re perhaps using some kind of re-write plugin for mobile instead.

You can try removing the small viewport elements in the style.css file, as most likely solution. But, TagDiv might have better answer 🙂

Visual Composer gets updated when tested as safe, compatible with theme, and when theme is next updated.

If chomping at the bit and need it “now” you can always buy your own license, but the bundle version is only updated when the theme is updated.

Also time to add https to your website.

learn to use console view (F12) in Chrome web browser. That’s what I do.
