Use the ‘theme zip’ only — NOT the ‘all files’ zip, two different things 🙂

You would need to setup a CDN and load your images from there.

Depends on how you made the ads.

Normally you’d wrap the graphic or text you’ve placed there in proper HTML with anchor link to the landing page the ad is promoting.

See basic online tutorials for how HTML works, for how to create anchor links.

If that was not what you were asking; sorry. I don’t work here 🙂

Hi, no longer updating this thread, as I’m now moving to testing optimizations utilizing

a) php 7 with enhancements for code and opcache, even better than php 5.6 (5.4 is a DOG!).
b) https + http/2

We have dedicated server, so a bit different approach than many others here. We do not use CDN as not secure (e.g., Cloudflare), or not any faster for our U.S. client/audience due to our server in Class A datacenter in Texas.

usually permissions issue on your server.

upload via FTP to be safe!

We’re running PHP 5.6 and Newsmag 3.1 and works perfectly, although we’re not running bbpress or buddypress, or jetpack, or woocommerce with it.

Pingbacks get written to WordPress comments – not a theme function.

Likely need to search web via Google for past solutions to this.

Default is on or off, and you’d likely need custom filtering code to “hide” the ones you don’t want in the comments. Likely need to hire a developer on that.

Example – simple google search:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/hide-trackbacks/

It did work with newsmag 3.1 (just used it few minutes ago); but was then removed from Github. So, the “works with newsmag” version is no longer available for download on github it looks like, so … The version with ionmag is different, it seems and designed for ionmag, not other TD themes.

I think they are ‘testing’ the waters of eventually offering TD Composer as alternate to VC for Newspaper and then Newsmag, but that has been an “in the works” idea for two years now.

I would guess they should remove the “sticky” from the top of the main forum here, since it’s actually “not” on github for download at the moment, nor the past month.

If you are unable to Google webdev tutorials on using favicons for web design,

probably best to simply paste the full https URL to your favicon into the box in the theme panel.

That is simple enough.

(I don’t work here.)

What version of PHP are you using?

Ignore the nag notice. You do not need to ‘activate’ the plugin with the developer to get support.

Just “turn it on” from the plugins panel and start using it 🙂

You don’t need plugin or theme panel.
Simply put your favicons in your root web directory via FTP.

All browsers have always automatically looked for them there. So adding a favicon.ico, favicon.png, and the Apple set of sizes is recommended.

Sounds like caching issue on your host setup.

Had issue with client, hosted on GoDaddy, similar issue. Had to clear the ‘cache’ in the GoDaddy panel twice to see changes on home page, or product pages.

Also, with Chrome, helps to do the force reset option as well when viewing a page after update.

Not sure that helps – but not theme specific.

But ALSO check the ‘system status’ to ensure you have enough RAM allocated to WP.

We’re not having that issue here, but we have a more controlled setup than you.

(I don’t work here; just been using the TD themes for 3 years now!)

You will get that error “once” each time you change/update the main theme files, as during the update, some pages redirect or allow pointing to the theme root, which should not happen. On high traffic sites, you’d normally use a “down for maintenance” plugin to avoid this.

Normally having ONE instance of the error is normal.

If you have “constant” errors, somebody might be trying to hack your site, and you need to use some mitigation tools.

Also, just to pop in here …

many folks should look into https + http/2 on hosting platform;
as we are now running this and much much faster than classic methods for many things we’d been doing like critical CSS injection, etc.

Examples?

Check with your hosting service to fix some of the host-related settings.

See the official WordPress docs (wordpress.org) to learn how to add custom elements to your wp-config.php file, such as increasing default memory from 40M to 128M, etc.

Theme docs can also be some small help, here:

I believe using the TagDiv Composer “BETA” with Newsmag is still kind of a hit or miss option.

I’m using prior version of TD Composer with Newsmag 3.1 with zero problems.

I don’t think it’s been tested with the current version of Newsmag, but I could be totally wrong. Most folks still using Visual Composer included with theme and not the TD version.

Remember ionMag and Newsmag are two different things.

Current version of TD Composer included with latest IonMag theme works with Ionmag perfectly also.

(We use both NewsMag on our main sites, and IonMag on a persona/project site.)

I don’t work here -just food for thought until real support team back on hand.

Waiting on my server backup, so twiddling virtual thumbs over here.

use the ‘official’ wordpress amp plugin by Automattic

been there 😉

should be in the /plugins/ folder from the ‘all files’ download.

Best to do clean install of newest version of theme; them manually adjust things, to ensure site is completely clean and malware free.

Yes, well you can’t fit a 10-foot log in an 8-foot space.

So, only option would be to use smaller banner, or “re-engineer” the article space and page layout to fit that size; ton of work, and TagDiv can’t help with that.

Just food for thought. I don’t work here 🙂

Learn by trial/error, is best way.

Learn to open your style.css file in a text editor like textpad, BBedit, notepad, or similar.

That is what you would select all/copy/paste into the CSS minifier box … try it ?

You then end up with a slimmed version of the code, which can then be pasted back into the style.css file.

Once you have a text editor in your PC/Mac, simple enough to “open” files from the theme folder on your local hard drive to explore what is in them. Also see the WordPress.org “codex” to understand common conventions of theme and WP hierarchy.

There really is no 100% reliable automated minification tool for CSS. You may run into issues, as you have already, unless you do it yourself manually — this is what all web dev folk have to do — part of the mental ‘cost’ of choosing to do this stuff.
