Flatsome is not made by TagDiv — it’s a totally different company.

You could, of course, have your “store” using that theme in a /store/ folder, and then use TagDiv theme for rest of the website.

But for questions about Flatsome best directed to the company that makes that.

Well, the CSS and Java in the page helps it load faster by NOT having to load external sources and helps to deal with the above the fold loading, and mobile loading. Some things work better inline than external these days.

In other words, some CSS and JS “inline” loads faster for above the fold (render blocking …) vs waiting for the entire separate file to load, hence why this is now donw, which was crazy talk in olden days.

“Critical CSS” should be loaded with the page itself, then supported elements “later.”

Tricky!

I’ve stopped using some plugins due to the extra CSS crap included and no way to disable, or allow the plugin to “inherent” theme CSS (e.g., <LI> and <UL> stuff).

I also hacked one plugin to remove their CSS and just put it at bottom of the style.css and shazam.

I feel your pain; actually dealing with this right now on another project which is NOT using TagDiv themes due to a long boring story.

I really hate the form scripts which load the FORM CSS on every page and not just the actual FORM page. Requires creating custom page called “form” and then manually putting the CSS for plugin on THAT page vs having stupid if/then on every site page to NOT load it conditionally which is also dumb for resource queries.

AUGH!!!!! (damn kite eating tree!)

( happy to take some of your beer money in my ‘tip jar’ 😉 )

Been there ! 🙂

I have combined various things and also minified both CSS and JS, and you can see the tools I used to minify manually in my thread on theme optimization in tutorials > DIY > best of forums.

However, note that to “combine” certain things like lightbox, visual composer, etc., you would need to hack the plugin to NOT also enqueue the js and css calls, keep track of what you’re doing and basically “freeze” your setup for awhile for those tools.

You can also quash some things like the emoticons js and other things by disabling that via addition of code to functions.php. And of course, not using things like Jetpack, and turning *off* anything you are not using like slider plugins, etc., sure helps.

I believe per the theme docs, you need to get the ID for the plugin and then add to the plugin so that it’s properly enqueued.

I think you can change this from the “translations” panel ?

I believe the ‘feautured’ image is the one you choose from the images setting on the woocommerce > products > product page

eg
https://docs.woothemes.com/document/adding-product-images-and-galleries/

at least that is how I do it.

LOL – yes, the dread zoom error … trust me, we have ALL done that one !!! 🙂

There is no malware in the theme files, for anybody curious about that topic.

However
a) some security scanners on your PC/Mac (Avast) may trigger false positive
b) some PCI-DSS scanners may find false positive with some plugins active — we ran into this with our old ecommerce software (not running WP; they thought we had some kind of vulnerable email script, just because a plugin had same “name” … when it clearly was NOT the known exploit malware app)

Note:
TagDiv scans products prior to upload, based on their past posts – and does not inject any bad code
and,
ThemeForest scans everything when put into the download system, hence delay between TagDiv uploading an update and it becoming available to us.

Google Malware Warning:
If you get a “real” Google malware warning, and not a phishing popup; CHECK YOUR SEARCH CONSOLE (webmaster tools) on the malware tab as it will *confirm* if they have scanned a vulnerability on your site.

Be aware however, sometimes Chrome and Google may list this in search results — and still be false positive.

I went to the TCL Chinese theatre website (aka Grauman’s Chinese theatre) to look up a show time, and Google was saying “this site might be hacked” in the SERPS. At that point in time, it was NOT.

Make sure you have open graph tags setup.
Note facebook does not always grab image, no matter what you do.

Be sure to install the plugins, and activate visual composer plugin.

Avast is not the best anti-virus, and gets many false positives. You should simply disable it, or setup an ‘exception’ when editing your site in WP admin.

If something “suddenly” changes without your knowledge good to look at what might have changed with an automatic WP update, or a plugin mis-begaving.

Try disabling all plugins except Visual Composer, and YOAST, and clear all caching on your site if used *and* in your web browser.

I thought the ad panel let you select on/off for desktop vs mobile ?

TagDiv back on Monday.

Also good to use caching plugin.

You only need to post a topic once, not three times, please. 🙂

One tip, make a menu item for the phone number but without a link on it.

See the WordPress docs on how to create menus.

https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Menu_User_Guide

Probably. Some settings may need to be set from your hosting panel to actually be in effect for your hosting account.

One tip, you need to highly optimize all the thumbnails.

From my optimization thread in the tutorials > DIY > best of forums; one thing you can do is change the default compression level for thumbs to 50 from 90, then regenerate all your thumbs.

If you test your home page with GTMetrix.com you can also see some pointers on things that might need some tweaking 🙂

Or, read the docs on Speedbooster on how to add a plugin to the enqueue list.

Note there are different post settings you can choose “per post” on the post page.

Also, different “default” post templates have different layouts as far as header, columns.

Good place to start, for exploring that 🙂

You can try the solution we did; deactivate Visual Composer, and use Radu’s “Shim” solution, which allows you to use the nice TD modules, but you lose some of the high-maintenance/high-query VC stuff that most high-traffic sites do *not* really need. You can also find a snippet in my optimization thread from the tutorials > best of forums thread where I disable loading VC stuff entirely from the post pages; only home page.

I thought this was also in the theme panel on the posts page settings?

Try disabling the features in the theme panel for loading images in popups/image viewer, as that might help?

Per the theme docs, you should activate the ajax option for in the theme panel for the hit/view counter.

Page views are based on how many times page is ‘rendered’ — so , if cached it is only rendered once, then loaded from cache, so you need to use the ajax method to count the reads.

Try the header.php file.

If using YOAST SEO plugin, there is spot to paste in the verification code.

Or, download the .txt file from Google and put in the root of your website (nice as it’s not theme specific, so you can just leave it there forever !)
