simchris been there 😉
simchris Upload from your ‘all files’ download via FTP to your plugins folder.
simchris Because you don’t have a paid license, only a bundle license. So, you get a new version only when the theme is updated on themeforest and then latest/tested version is included for your use with theme.
simchris FTP always best way to install anything with WP due to different server/ownership permissions on some servers.
simchris Best solution is to make sure images extremely well optimized, ensure you use opcache with PHP 5.6 or higher (do not use 5.2 or 5.4 .. ooooold!); limit “queries” on each page — such as megamenu images, sidebars, footers, disable XMLRPC, disable track back/ping-backs, etc.
simchris You might need to redo home page due to so many things changing since 4x to 7x.
You can “try” simply resaving it. That used to work for me. Clear cache, etc.
simchris welcome to WordPress. FYI, most complex themes use custom classes (e.g., td_) for custom code, custom plugins, and custom CSS to extend Visual Composer; this is partly to keep things organized for developers and also to minimize “collisions” with other theme developers. Most plugin devs do this also, whether it’s Yoast, Advanced Custom Fields (eg., “acf_blah”), etc.
Doesn’t it make sense if the theme has a custom plugin, custom menus, etc. that are intended for its own theme, to use custom classes?
You can use a proper programmer editor to do full search/replace in ALL files but no way to do this by hand, and also it means you won’t be able to do updates to theme without redoing all the changes.
Most savvy webdev folk can “figure out” which theme you use without too much trouble, so you’re not really hiding that from anybody except newbies looking at source code. “real devs” can easily deduce which theme it is.
simchris we are now moving to using mailchimp here 🙂
simchris Well, if you only have three ad spots, you would only have 3 ads, right ?
simchris simchris You would typically use a plugin. You might also need an SMTP plugin to allow sending email securely via your website domain. Simple contact form, gravity forms, etc. Lots of options. See the plugin repo on wordpress.org to learn more about extending WordPress with plugins.
simchris You can’t use styles inline in modern HTML… even though WordPress encouraged it with the built-in visual editor for centering text for paragraphs or other elements.
e.g.
wrong = <h2 style="align:center">Text</h2>
correct = <h2 class="center-text">Text</h2>
You will need to google many of the articles of the past couple of years on how to optimize WordPress for AMP as styles you’ve used in posts, not part of theme.
Some IMG classes might need to be fixed depending on how used.
simchris Couple things
WordPress only “auto embeds” OEMBED capable video.
Second, generally you can’t embed content from other sites without permission. In fact, they may preclude loading on other sites than their own and hence it won’t work.
If you have permission, reaching out to them for info likely best option as what you’re attempting is not related to theme in any way, but basic HTML. Some may block loading from iFrame.
Also, make sure you are putting your HTML in your post/page in the text editor mode, NOT the code editor mode as this will break your HTML.
In your example above you have no closing divs which I’m assuming is just for the example?
Check F12/console view in your browser for errors that might be causing issues.
If you “view source” for the example URL you’re trying to embed you will see it’s not actually a video file, but a script page loading separate player element via javascript. Some of that might not be allowable under an iframe in browser and so gets blocked.
Just food for thought.
simchris maybe try
th {
height: 30px;
text-align:center;
}
?
simchris Basically it means Google could not access your website when they went to verify it.
So, you should ‘test’ your site with tools like securi malware scanners, and GTmetrix, and also check your pages with F12/console view in Chrome for functional errors.
Generally their messages mean exactly what they say … “error 404 – ” means they cannot view your site content (Google what ‘404’ error is).
simchris Keep in mind theme is still mobile ready, so any pages not AMP compatible will still load well on all mobile devices as the mobile/responsive version. World won’t end.
It’s actually more critical to look at next-gen speed optimization of your actual content at the ground level, such as php7 + https + http/2 … that is the future of the web and AMP is part of the overall evolution, but these “big 3” items are the most critical to the future of your site in mobile.
simchris You may find it useful when learning WordPress to review the official docs (codex) here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Posts_Categories_SubPanel
Each post in WordPress is filed under one or more Categories. This aids in navigation and allows posts to be grouped with others of similar content.
Each Category may be assigned to a Category Parent, allowing you to set up a hierarchy within the Category structure. In creating Categories, recognize that each Category Name must be unique. Thus, even if two Categories have two different Parents, they must still have different names.
Links to your Categories are, by default, shown in two different places on your blog’s home page if you are using the WordPress Twenty Seventeen theme. First, WordPress lists these Category as links in your sidebar. Second, WordPress shows all the Categories to which a given post belongs under that post. When someone viewing your blog clicks on one of these Category links, an archive page with all the posts belonging to that Category will be displayed.
simchris simchris probably one of many topics to add to a FAQs page !
simchris Where did you download the theme from?
Perhaps download fresh copy from your Themeforest account.
The version there does not have any malware.
simchris Nope. No reason to do that. Since AMP is changing frequently, simpler to use an agnostic plugin created by the same people who make WordPress and are updating it for their premium clients like TIME magazine, and the like.
So, by using an agnostic plugin, developed by WordPress folk, you’re not “tied” to any theme or framework.
Simply the best way to do it.
simchris Why not simply add the code above or below the content in one of your post templates you’re using?
simchris probably need to be more specific?
do you mean when you go to edit a post you cannot place an image in the post?
how are you trying to do that, what is not happening that you expect to happen?
is it a supported image type?
enough room on your hosting account?
version of theme, version of WordPress?
simchris Because for one-click in WordPress to update the updates need to be either on WordPress.org servers like the plugins hosted there are; or need to be done from the main WP panel, or a custom panel.
This doesn’t always work due to the differences in server “permissions” where sometimes the uploads folder is “owned” by the FTP user, but the WP install is owned by Apache/server — then it breaks trying to update.
MOST commercial themes on ThemeForest must be updated manually in this way. It’s not unique to this theme.
So, if you want to run a WordPress site, good to learn FTP as it’s the *ONLY* safe way to update your site. Seriously.
(I’ve been running WordPress sites for 12+ years and really – FTP is worth learning!)
simchris Look at the docs for imagemagick/GD library on your server, also, as that is what is ‘actually’ making the images from what you upload.
Try doing it without using smush-it; and/or check the settings for that!
