Christopher is a long time WordPress user. Anything else you need to know is private ;-) I *do not* work for TagDiv, but I've been using their themes since late 2013.

If you have a create account form in any normal place that is default in WordPress and not sandboxed in some way then anybody can create an account as subscriber.
(e.g., http://yourdomain/wp-login.php?action=register )
a) open the WordPress dashboard and click Settings » General. Find the Membership setting and uncheck Anyone Can Register.
b) use Akisment to block known bots on forms
c) use hCaptcha / recaptcha on any forms
d) if you use server side reporting, look for the IP(s) hitting your site 7,000 times and block at hosting level or via htaccess, firewall etc.

(I don’t work here; just long time WP and TagDiv user.)

Most “hit counters” using php on websites and WordPress generally only count unique visits from a browser, not bots and will never match GA. Server side analytics are the only accurate count.

Again, it’s normal. Sometimes Google’s ad server times out when loading your page. Nothing to do with the theme or your website. (I don’t work here, but doing webdev since 1995 and WordPress since 2005.)

This has been an issue with Google ads for 10 years. Ads do not always load from their servers and then there is blank spot. They also randomly remove scam ads, and you see a box [ad removed]. And if you look at console in Chrome you will see numerous ‘warnings’ about their own code not being compliant with their own guidelines.

So, welcome to the Google that doesn’t give a shite. 🙂

They probably need to know which website you have, like the URL?

I usually put that kind of stuff in the same place in admin panel where you would put google tracking code.

depending on where you’re doing that, you might need proper quotes without any curly quotes.

<div style='text-align:center;'></div>
or
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>

Facebook sometimes has issues with capturing images. Nothing to do with the theme. If you look at the header source code for your post, and the og tag is there, and showing link to image, then as long as the image works, then FB can capture it. Sometimes they have caching issues; and the only solution is to do the post on FB, then come back and use the ‘refresh content’ option.

Also, good to learn some basics, like you can google “what is 503 error” to learn what that is.

in the thumbnail settings it tells you which blocks are used per size. ne yrick, turn them all off then go look at your layout to see which elementshave placeholder graphics then turn those few on. also, set the sizes n wp media settings to 0.

In our case, lots of RAM, and we use the classic editor for normal posts vs TD Composer.

You need to actually build your home page layout the way you want.

For example I start with a section full width (a row). Then on second row (side to side); I do [ 2/3 ] [ 1/3]
So, then the left 2/3 is one column to drag and drop different content modules and choose what content categories to load (e.g., news, reviews, etc.), and in right column I drag over widget element, so I can add stuff to right side from appearance > widgets and not in page builder.

I don’t work here but 6+ year user. Good to review the docs and tutorials so you can build out what you want. 🙂

I don’t work here, but if anybody can follow link, then anybody can share that with others, post online, etc., which invalidates whole point of having a login at all. Just sayin.

could be permalinks…try resaving and making sure htaccess is writable, make sure enough memory allocated in both php settings and also wpconfig file

simchris

Maybe check Chrome console for any loading errors?

simchris

What version of theme are you using? What version of PHP?

simchris

Sometimes going back to your menu settings and just resaving them will fix it. (I don’t work here.)

Probably need to resave your permalinks, or make sure the htaccess file is ‘writable’ ?

Long time user here; and simple answer is there is not. What we do is make the header and footer full width and leave the content in the middle as is. The only real solution for “full width” is to switch to the Newspaper theme.

Also, we’ve found over the past 7 years or more that folks with wide displays often setup their browser to be “half width” and right side of monitor used for MS Word, or email or whatever. So, turns into a non issue in most cases.
