False positive unless you’re using pirated version.

Everything on ThemeForest scanned and safe. Everything TagDiv pushes is fully vetted.

Some “virus scanners” don’t understand things like an icon converted to base64 can look like malwware packet, etc.

Which “anti virus” tool are you using?

So, upshot – under normal use, nothing to worry about 🙂

You can scan your site with SECURI free scanner to find any “real” malware in your WP site.

See the theme docs under ‘speeding up website” as good start.

All videos on YouTube have an ID number.

If you go to YouTube and click the share button … notice the number on the end? How it’s different for each video? That is the “ID” unique to that video.

Either turn off the option for showing categories on posts from theme panel. Done. Or, you need to move that in your templates if wanted.

If you want to move that to footer, as I do, then you would need to move that block in the post template(s) you’re using from the loop file to bottom — I move my category block down to the tag block area with certain layouts.

Simplest thing is to just disable showing the “categories” elements on post, as not strictly needed since those same categories are in your menu(s) and in sitemap(s) for Google, et al.

Also note that if you are referring to the “official Google AdSense” plugin, it has a *lot* of problems reported hence the negative ratings on wordpress.org.

It is simply not compatible with all themes due to the way it works.

In many cases, you can simply disable the speed booster plugin if you’re unable to add the exception to the booster setup per the “speed up your site” theme docs.

If you’re unable to do that, you can try disabling speed booster, and try the “scripts to footer” plugin, but then you’ll have to manually move some things to footer to optimize speed.

Or, you can try using the built-in adsense ad system for the theme, which works very well.

(( I don’t work here. ))

Yes. That can be one issue; I personally turn off all the extras in Yoast, especially the ‘onepage’ thing, and also turn off all the boxes on admin front page, un-used plugin boxes on post page, and don’t show featured image on the post list screen, etc.

But again, it varies by server WHAT might be causing stuff. Usually it’s ajax, jquery, cache, or plugin that affects admin panels in some way (permissions, user roles, modify the admin panels, or anything that phones home for info like jetpack stats, etc.).

Alin saves the day again!!!

🙂

Make sure you are using a news sitemap for Google (e.g., yoast news seo add-on if using yoast).

Also, with “some” layouts, you need to move the “category” stuff to not appear above headline.

Stupidly Google will still from time to time use its old scraper bot vs the xml news sitemap and generate those kind of wonky errors.

It should ignore breadcrumbs, but the “category names” placed above headline in “some” layouts can cause this issue, based on my own experience with Google news the past 11 years.

Hope that helps. Not strictly a theme problem, more of an issue with how Google sometimes “scrapes” the page vs actually using the sitemap, even if there is one. Sometimes resubmitting the news sitemap helps. Sometimes changing one word in headline within the first few hours forces reload of story.

🙂

I am using tdc on all our live sites now.

For the de enqeue snippet, switch to footer unenqueue if using the booster since no longer in head.

Support here answers every question and has done so the past 3 years. And you can email support directly if you have a reason to do so.

One presumes you read the copious documentation, tutorials, and actually asked for support here?

Note the section in the docs on how to get support?
https://forum.tagdiv.com/free-theme-support/

Absolutely lots of support.

Hi!
In my case I tend to put anything directed at server before WordPress stuff, like the mod_pagespeed stuff if required, or any funky stuff like force 301 redirect for non-https to https, or custom rewrites to fix old icky permalinks (like we had horrible stuff like /2005/16/03/enc235-name-of-story_123345.php !!!).

Then WordPress block

then the add handler types, as applicable, time to live, and in my case I don’t use XMLRPC and redirect that.

So:

[ custom stuff ]
[ wordpress stuff ]
[ add handler for new types like webp, or woff2 ]
[ time to live, expiration stuff ]
[ redirect xmlrpc ]

And I suppose if your server “requires” you to put in the deflate stuff, I personally would put that with the add handler stuff area.

Put another way, I put stuff that does rewrites before WordPress stuff, and everything else after. 🙂

🙂

Make sure the link in the child theme was changed to https.

Ideally for Google you should only serve ONE version, via https, and redirect all other non https requests to the https version of your site.

Also avoids the new (!) warning icon in Chrome for non https sites.

Also, useful to choose to make everything https, by search/replace image links in mysql dbase and also add explicit https link to website in wp-config.php

Seriously, ideally only serve ONE version of site (https) and you won’t have any such issues in future 🙂

LOL…
somewhere in forum is a filter for functions to de-enqueue VC for single posts, or anything not home page. I did that before moving to the interim “shim” beta Radu did a long time back, and now the TD Composer beta (try it!). TDC gives you most of the modules from VC without all the goofy stuff, and soooooo much faster.

Don’t have the code handy, but you can de-enqueue anything, you just have to play with the “naming” of it and wrap in a if ! home statement (so, “if not home, de-enqueye pesky VC …”)

Sadly i have so zillion posts I can’t find anything of mine anymore after 3 years, so either go on safari in the forum (and pull hair out), or wait for the tagdivvy folks to repost the sneaky cool way to do that.

Check your site with F12/Chrome to see various errors related to https, etc.

(yep, was replying to @nano )

Maybe your site was hacked. Maybe your hosting provider did a server update and your site overloaded php and they disabled stuff.

Might be worth
a) scanning your site with SECURI scanner (free)
https://sitecheck.sucuri.net//

b) ask your hosting provider why all your wordpress plugins got mysteriously deactivated over the weekend!

c) make sure you have dbase backup

d) change your admin password(s) RIGHT NOW!

In the theme panel and docs it refers to “image effects” — not true lazy loading

https://forum.tagdiv.com/loading-image-effects/

these are CSS effects which are “presentational” and not technical delayed loading of images bit-data.

If you have auto updates turned on (not good idea), your site can post updates to plugins, WordPress, etc. which might break things.

Things don’t “suddenly happen” unless something changes on the backend. Theme cannot change your site without you. 🙂

Looks like you updated theme without also updating the VC plugin? Dunno.

Try checking you have updated version of VC included with latest theme version; try resaving your home page layout. Try clearing cache plugin and/or reset CDN if applicable.

Turn off any “minification” plugins that can break things, etc.

Part 2, is “part 2” of my most recent modifications. Part one was Aug 17, 2016 🙂

“Part 2” only covers removing Google Fonts entirely from v3.1.

Have not gotten to part3 ; we have issue with trying to get latest version of mod_pagespeed running as it generates errors on any site with “missing images” — and from our recent server crash, that happens on several sites; so having to put in rewrite matches to a default image, which seems like a good practice anyway, so going to add that to my htaccess example which I will update soon. Pain.

You can enable comments per post as a built-in feature of WordPress. Just make the discussion box visible on the post edit screen; then turn comments “on” for the site; then for each post you can choose whether to have on/off. This is built into WordPress.

See the WP docs on how to use the post edit page options.

I don’t know of any free version of the plugin I use from Themeforest which is $9.

Basically – use the visibility tab top right of your post edit page; toggle visibility of the ‘featured image’ box; unless you have a featured image for your post, no thumb will be created in blocks. Period. Full stop.

So, you need to use some type of plugin to generate a local image then set it as ‘featured’ in the WP media folder (WordPress itself has no function to make thumbs from external site images). Auto Post Thumbnail PRO, can create image from “first image in post” even if external; then that is set as featured image, then thumbs built from that now local featured image.

We do this on our news network where main site creates news, hosts image, then some of our satellite news portals for local news grab the national story and load the image from main site in post, then the plugn makes the local featured copy so that thumbs can be added to the national news page/index.

In any case, not a theme issue — as you know — since you’re doing something custom/unique unrelated to theme.

You can spend the $9 for legal copy and try it; I’ve been using it for 3 years flawlessly. I rely on it every day for hundreds of images. So, it solved the issue for me. Also solved issue when we moved to Newspaper in 2013 (rev1.0) and our old content on some sites from say 2005-2013 had no featured image, but had image in post. Solved that, too.

I have no interest or relationship to the plugin; but rocks for me 🙂

Just to be clear, this is the one I use on ALL our sites: Best $9 I ever spent on anything. I would have sent him more money if it was donation ware! 🙂

(edited to add correct price of $9 not $8, which was a guess.)

I have dedicated server, advanced user, and I do my own hacks to minify CSS, de-enqueue elements not used (emojis, etc.); and move stuff to footer.

You can see my long winded thread in the docs > tutorials > DIY > best of forums

I am just an oddball case as I do some major changes to the header and footer to optimize the site so don’t need speedbooster to do that for me.

e.g., I load all the critical above the fold CSS in header and move main style to footer manually after de-enqeuuing it from header via functions/filter.

SpeedBooster is a helper, but not only way to do that; and there is no one click solution for solving “above the fold” content issues for pagespeed score for all sites.

Turn off any plugins that affect admin settings. Make sure you’re logged in as ‘admin/superuser.’

Worst case if your WP install broken, do fresh install of WordPress.

Theme does not change WP basic screens.

You might be able to adapt this function to your shortcode:

http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/58605/insert-ad-code-in-the-middle-of-a-post

Sorry, probably unique to your setup.

Only time we’ve had admin issue in 11 years with WP, using 100+ themes was bad plugin, bad hosting setup or using one of those dorky “frameworks” that add a whole extra layer between theme, WP and admin panel.

Keep massaging your setup — if your site admin is speedy using another theme, but slow using this one, then there is some oddity there, to be sure, but that is NOT normal.

One presumes you have gobs of RAM allocated to WP, expanded your php timeout and uploads settings, gzip/deflate working right, opcache/memcache properly working, no oddball cookies or cookie blocking issues, correct http/https setup, etc.

Just throwing out ideas… 🙂
