Maybe Google is having issues today?

Also, check your home page with F12 console for javascript errors. That is usually the culprit. Or, if running too many ads on front page, Google may turn them “off…” or … just general gremlins!

Heh. I’ve been setting up 4 copies of my own sites in 3.1 from 1.7, so it’s all ‘top of mind’ right now. Having to ‘re-discover’ stuff on daily basis.

I think you can also simply disable the lazy loading animation effect from the theme panel. That’s what I do. 🙂

I think you can disable this from the theme panel under “post settings”

You might be thinking of widgets included with jetpack.

My wordpress installs on 20 sites do not have a subscription widget by default.

But your host panel might include them.

Not part of theme, in any case.

You might need to add a smtp plugin if wordpress mail function not working on your host.

I think caitlin answered it pretty clearly in the second post of this thread.

(( I will be testing Newsmag 3.1 with PHP7 once we have pesky mod_pagespeed working again … ))

Also note that most “good” web hosts actually support both PHP7, and PHP5x during the transitional period of the next year where “most” will start moving to PHP7 for 2017, but not everything yet works right. SO, for example on my server, I can go to a specific site’s php settings an CHOOSE to use either PHP7 or PHP5.x depending on the site. During the “transitional” period with PHP7, most good hosts should be doing this!

You can also toggle “visbility” of the author box from the top right visible tab in the post edit page 🙂

Best way is to select “text only” ads for mobile. iOS will block Flash ads; some ads simply don’t load (timeout). You can also set a fall back local “house ad” for your site in the AdSense settings when you create an ad unit.

Put another way; the theme has nothing to do with what ads are shown/not shown; it is simply setting up the ad spot to load your AdSense code — the ads are served by Google, not the theme.

Also be aware you can usually put the Google AdSense code into a simple text widget and it should work just fine; we do this on one site not using TagDiv themes, where there no ad boxes, and we just needed ONE simple ad unit.

Hope that provides some food for thought 🙂

Yes, see the main WordPress Codex (docs) on WordPress.org for basic of using WordPress.

You can create users/authors from the WP admin panel (not theme panel), and you can specify an author “per post” when you create each post.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_Posts

So, if you had a contributor named “Jane Smith” you would first make a user with that name, and set their user role to contributor, then you would go to your post and choose that person/user under the “author” box selector on each post.

Hope that helped! Welcome to WordPress! 🙂

You can add CSS to either your style.css file in your theme; or in the custom code panel in the theme panel. Note the option to add CSS to your header in the “custom code” panel in the theme.

Also note, I’ve also had to add some margin to the tags and category “pills” so that “tap targets are not too close to one another.”

Some themes build-in functions to do that, just like a built-in contact form, etc., in lieu of plugins. If that function was part of old theme and NOT a plugin, you would need to replace the method used in old theme with a plugin to replicate that function. This is actually one example of where using a plugin *is* better than doing everything in the theme, as it is agnostic and can move from one setup to another without breaking.

I found it only takes a moment to just open each slider, click the default template I want, go to next, next, next, next, hit save. Never have to do it again. Takes less time to do that than it does to post a ticket here 😉

But after just setting up four sites moving from 1.71 to 3.1, I admit it sure would be nice to be able to set a sitewide default. But I can live with the current option as it really only takes 2 minutes tops to do it.

Nobody should be going to that location; it’s not a public part of your site. Hackers sometimes try that to see if there is no proper blocking mechanism in order to get access to your files.

You will also often see that error in webmaster tools when switching themes, or updating themes; this is normal, and you can just mark as ‘fixed’ and move on 🙂

Check server for malware:

Make sure you changed your username/password for super user.

Turn off “allow anybody to register”

Delete old plugins you don’t actually use.

Install “Limit Login Attempts” plugin.

Make sure you have clean backups up your website and consider re-installing WordPress entirely.

You can also manually delete that section inside the comments from the main functions file inside the /theme/includes/td_booster/ folder.

Usually going to the menus option in appearance > menus and re-saving your menu locations works. This is often a common issue in changing themes due to how WordPress stores that info. Also check the menu option in the theme panel > header.

ALSO: remember your site now has all-new CSS; if you had added custom css to bottom of your style.css in old theme, you need to add that back in new theme.

This also means you need to fully clear your cache; such as in Chrome, in clearing your history to load only the new CSS for your updated site.

Glad you were able to get 3.1 working 🙂

Well, the only way you can ensure you actually deleted the old theme folder properly is either

a) check via FTP if directory is there; delete it!
or —
b) use the filemanager in your host panel to delete folder if still there

Once you have the old folder deleted and you can *see* it’s gone via FTP; then simply upload the new theme folder (uncompressed on your local HD), to your theme folder. Boom, now you know it’s actually there, complete, and not broken.

Only you can do this step. Theme dev isn’t responsible for you installing software on your website.

Good luck!

more info?
Where are you trying to do this?

Yes, you need to fix your content.

You cannot use any inline HTML,
for example

<p align="center">
needs to be
<p class="mycenterclass">

<table width="500">

needs to be

<table class="mywidth500">

etc.

Plugins which inject code into the AMP header need to be changed; or not used; and some things cloudflare may break the /amp/ endpoint CSS. Check the support forum for the AMP plugin to learn more on any issues you might have.

Delete old theme folder via ftp.
Upload new theme folder via ftp.

Best way to do it, especially since whatever you are doing does not work on your system.

HAd same question recently; there is option to disable on the modules page I think under “meta” … anyway, look for the ‘meta’ horizontal bar on the modules or templates page; forgot which. (Assuming you’re using 3.1).

You don’t need code to activate it. Just ignore the nag screen.
