Yes….
GD library and/or Imagemagick needed on server to actually process images 😉

Probably useful for the theme “system status” to check for that !

use SMTP mail plugin

Probably issue with php mail.
You might need to use an SMTP mail plugin with WordPress, which is what we do here.

Theme does not control email sent by WordPress or PHP.

Basically you need to have email sent where it checks mail first with username/password before being able to send outward.

Lots of good “SMTP PLugins” for WP — common issue with WooCommerce order receipts, too.

Theme options normally saved in the dbase.

Make sure you’re running latest version of WP, as ALL older versions have major security flaw.

I use the free ‘thumbnail upscale’ plugin to allow WP to upscale images to fit properly. Worth a try.

Best way to do this is actually keep the style sheet loading in the footer, then use a ‘critical css generator’ to put the above the fold CSS in the header.php file. That’s what I do.

Best to learn to use server-side metrics which are included with most hosting platforms except the budget ones. These track actual site visits based on IP, most popular pages, top IPs, etc., by day, week, month.

You may want to just try Google Analytics for the time being if the above isn’t possible, or use both GA, and server side reporting.

Theme authors don’t include complex reader metrics dashboards as that has nothing to do with the actual presentation of information, and is related to web traffic measurement.

Lots of folks have it turned off, or they are using a cloud provider who expects the end user to manage everything. Some folks have “stuck” to older version as some plugin won’t work with 4.7x. But, WP is the one thing peeps need to always check to see WHY it got updated, not just because it has more spinning logos 😉

I use the free ‘thumbnail upscale’ plugin to solve many of these issues, personally.

is your site secure?

Try scanning your site with the securi scanner; try disabling all ad modules for testing.

I noticed it again when we updated from Newsmag 1.7 to 3.1 last Fall and forgot to “move” the “category” links to bottom above the tags. Suddenly we had “National news” in front of headlines, and couple of breadcrumbs as the title in Google News. Really dumb since they have a news XML sitemap, validated in search console. Kind of like how you can have two photos on page, make second one the one in your news sitemap (e.g., featured), and yet often the FIRST photo will still show up in google news.

After 12 years in Google News, I learn to “work around” the dumbness sometimes.

LOL…
damn, I solved my own issue AGAIN!

this is resolved. 🙂

Not theme related. See the Yoast SEO support on wordpress.org

a) in the wordpress settings under ‘discussion’ – part of wordpress; this is ‘master control’ for your WP install

b) in the theme, under ‘post settings’ is also a ‘toggle’

Known issue with Google’s news bot ‘scraping’ page vs using your news xml sitemap.

Only solution I found on all our sites was to NOT have category names above the headline, and instead move those to bottom of page.

Not specific to theme, but an issue with how Google ‘reads’ the page, sometimes badly!

Hmmm…
using either ‘td-theme’ or ‘tdtheme’ does not un-enqueue (remove) the main style.css from head.

Hmmm…
oh…

// 1001 priority because visual composer uses 1000 function load_front_css() {

will try de-enqueue priority of 1100

yep … that was the trick, I had upped priority to 999, but you clever folks had it at 1001 … 🙂

Sorted!
Thanks

We use the folks at WP All Import to do nutty complex dbase imports to WordPress …

I basically need to *REMOVE* the theme inserting the link to main style sheet in the header.

Normally one can “de-enqueue” that based on the ID of the stylesheet but I get tripped up often enough trying to figure out the right ID for the actual CSS or js sometimes.

Not using speed booster plugin with the theme as we have our own internal optimization setup, but I think the second link you gave showing ‘td-theme’ as the right ID might be what I was looking for.

So, I’ll try it this way since I guess the ‘css’ was redundant — those IDs always trip me up! 🙂

function dequeue_my_css() {
wp_dequeue_style('td-theme');
wp_deregister_style('td-theme');
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts','dequeue_my_css',100);

Thanks! (and happy new year!)

preloading the critical CSS in your ‘header.php’ file is fastest way to load menus.

Yes. There are (2) options for downloading theme on themeforest
1) “all files” — noted as such
2) “theme files” — just the theme

Always good to download ANY zip file and decompress on your local HD to “VIEW” what is there before uploading to any web server/website.

For best results, consider modding theme to pull in Google custom search. There’s a tutorial around here someplace on how to do that.

FeedWordPress is simpler as it just pulls off an RSS. So, makes “syndication” from your other site simpler, depending on what you’re trying to do.

WP All Import needs XML or mySQL file from the other site.

But you can always ask them for support on what you’re trying to import.

They were huge help to me in a complex import project from custom CMS built in 2004 into WP in 2017, which we thought was impossible. Took a month, and some major tweaks in php custom code snippets, and user import was funky as hell on first try, but they got it to work. The All Import PRO folks awesome.

For a super complicated thing, you might need to hire the WP All Import folks to make a new “module’ for you, like they have for Yoast SEO fields, or in our case, we used the ACF Import module heavily.

We use FeedWordPress to pull in syndicated content from our mothership site to our baby sites.

We use WP All Import Pro to do more serious things like rescuing an old site built outside WP into WP.
