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.

I think the refund policy is found on ThemeForest.

good to stop using AMP as Google abandoned it in 2023 and no longer required for mobile SERPS.

usually a caching issue. i do not have this issue where stories show instantly.

if you have large site with a lot of posts, you can try wp db cleaner plugin to remove stuff like orphan meta from deleted posts and stupid draft revision copies stuck in dbase….on one site i had 123,000 of those!

You probably need to increase the minimum memory needed for PHP via the hosting panel and ALSO in the wp-config.php file. 256MB is a good starting point for minimum.

Install the Classic Editor plugin from WordPress (official), which allows you to edit posts/pages in “classic mode” on per item basis without gutenberg. Muuuuuch easier. I also install the Classic Widgets plugin (official) as well.

DUPLICATOR works to migrate all settings and can also fix any URLs like links to /staging/pagexxxx/ to /siteurl/pagexxx

I have used it for many years and if you read up about it online, it’s truly priceless for this stuff.

I’m sure somebody else will mention, but best way to migrate from production to live site is often using the DUPLICATOR plugin

My name in lights (Neotrope aka Christopher Simmons) contributing to bugfixes in WordPress 6.6.1 update released today 🙂
** Issue with super full height category selector box when using Classic Editor plugin active, FIXED **

ideally you should entirely remove AMP and setup 301 redirects with regex statement. Google abandoned AMP in 2023 and no longer required for mobile SERPS.

wordpress has a maximum php file size limit by default, and some files misnamed may not upload…not managed by themes.

add the favicons to your root directory where Apple devices look for them

for our sites, we had issues with 8.3 as huge number of wordpress stuff not yet compatible….highly recommend you stick with php 8.2 for now, which works

simchris

try testing with gtmetrix to see what you can improve

Suggest reviewing the meta data and GT Metrix score of your page prior to and after theme update.

Keep in mind latest WordPress update might have some elements that changed as well.

Also note Google periodically goes through a re-indexing phase and ‘tests’ elements such as their new AI bot for indexing, which will probably also look at open graph meta data, so good to ensure you have that.

If you maie changes to your site, and SERPS change, that is not the fault or responsibility of any theme.

Changing “site structure” can always affect SERPS, especially if “weights” of content change per page, linking changes such as footers and menus, or other issues.

Just some feedback. (I don’t work for tagdiv)

calin shared this info
You can create a sidebar from the theme panel > categories – https://i.imgur.com/knz7ya3.png or from an article – https://i.imgur.com/jGDKsno.png

note…there is a meta box bug i reported to bugtrac in 6.6 which will be patched n 6.6.1

Newspaper and Newsmag, which are made by Tagdiv.

Theme files are normally only written into
/wp-content/themes/theme-name/
and not core WP folders.

/wp-includes/ is part of wordpress core; not the theme.

You may want to actually download a fresh zip file of wordpress installer from wordpress.org, unzip, then *look* inside the /wp-includes/ folder.

Those all look like normal wordpress files. So the tool you are using to scan WP may be woefully out of date if it cannot recognize current 6x branch (e.g., WP 6.6) files.

(I don’t work here. Just long time tagdiv user and WP user since 2004.)

No issues here. (( I don’t work for tagdiv; just long time user. ))
Maybe turn on debug in wp-config.php and then paste your error log here if unable to grant temp access to the support team.

Common 500 error issues:
Browser cache
Corrupted database
Corrupted .htaccess file
Corrupted WordPress core or installation files
Database server problems
Incorrect file and folder permissions
Problem with the PHP memory limit
Third-party plugin

Yoast lets you ‘strip’ the /category/ element.
e.g.,

site/category/puppies/post-about-puppies/

site/puppies/post-about-puppies/

Themes do not control default behavior of WordPress. The URL pretty permalink structure is set by WP, not the theme.

did you toggle the visibility from the top panel in post edit view? basic feature of wordpress to show and hide items on right side menu. mine is working just fine.

I posted a bugtrac to the WP dev team. As always, it seems with a major dot rev, WP has joined the “wait for the dot one” group. I’m expecting we’ll see a 6.6.1 or whatever soon.

Specifically this is when the Classic Editor and Classic Widgets plugins are active (which we use on all our sites, as we never use Gutenberg).

in old days with classic editor active, you can just drag items to rearrange …with gutenberg editor active i think you have to go to three dots to efit appearance. See wordpress docs, not specific to theme.
