Try disabling the lazy load function if your site is timing out on image load on mobile. We had this issue on some iOS devices.

Theme doesn’t send the email, WordPress does — so you may need to implement SMTP email plugin to get WP to actually send emails on registration. Common, well known issue with WP. (Google it!) Sorry not a better answer.

If users not being added to user list, that is separate issue. I’m sure TagDiv will have some help on that if you’ve already checked the WordPress.org Codex docs on how registration works in WP.

Try clearing cache, or turn off caching, resave permalinks, turn off all plugins except visual composer to figure out what might be causing issue with latest version of WP (not all plugins are updated to work with WP 4.2x and break things!).

@DaneOLeary
the above coding is relatively easy to implement in theory, just not sure WHERE best to hook that stuff, since the Javascript has that pesky <div> in front of it; and don’t want the code loading on ALL pages or home page, or archives, only on POSTS.

The plugin that is in the WordPress repository has some issues, and I haven’t seen any major sites using that. For example IMDB is using the direct code from FB, and “works” if placed in the right spots.

We were using the lazy load Disqus alternative plugin, but again — Disqus has started to have issues as of Jan 1, so time to consider something different.

FB has become a juggernaut, without a doubt and can no longer be derided as waste of time quite so much as before. For some folks it’s become their only website for their company, the groups have almost killed a number of forums and yahoo groups, and it’s undeniably the #2 daily destination on the web outside of Google.

So, as much as I’ve hated the idea, it seems time to bow down and at least try it out for a bit and see what happens.

Just some feebdack on a Sunday morning 🙂

See the theme docs > right side of this page > under “tutorials”

What errors are you getting? What theme version?

Try uploading an image via the media manager and make sure the file is actually there ; if so, then it’s writable (or learn to use FTP and what CHMOD and file permissions on web server folders are). If it’s not, then theme cannot create pictures in the folder for the thumbnail sizes.

One also presumes you didn’t turn “off” all the image sizes for thumbs in the theme panel. 😉

Also make sure you’re not using any “auto minify” plugins as that can break stuff too.

Always good to make a backup of everything periodically 😉

Make sure you set a ‘featured’ image for each post.
Make sure your image directory is “writable” on your site(s).

Please see this:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-chriss-custom-optimizations-for-functions-php-etc/

🙂

A copy of the license can be downloaded from your files/downloads on ThemeForest for more info.

Looks good to me – guess you got it working ..

often a caching issue 🙂

You can use a plugin to set user roles and set what elements of the admin panel are viewable by each user role; so this would also allow limiting access to other things as well.

However, TagDiv might have some advice on how to “hack” the function to only show the element to users with “admin” level.

Hi
you can optimize the images quite a bit more.

You can also figure out alternative to the things being loaded from external sources.

You can also optimize quite a bit more things from my tutorial in the docs > tutorials > DIY > best of forums.

Cut back on several of the plugins or find alternate ways of doing things — smile fonts? Scroll bar ?

The more stuff you load the more time it takes to “build” a page, and the more pieces you have.

Userpro plugin is loading a *lot* of things.

See theme docs, link right side of page, on how to update theme.

Usually via ftp is best method.

use HTML to make a table.

Create a custom class for the elements in first column for larger text in red.

eg.,

<table class="table">
<thead>
<tr colpan="3">Blah</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="bigred">COL 1</td>
<td>COL 2</td>
<td>COL 3</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

plenty of guides online for making tables in HTML.

Actually, if you’re using the RSS in a “sidebar” widget, you could make a new sidebar for each category you wanted to do this, then drag instance of RSS plugin to that one sidebar, then assign that to the category page.

category = bunnnies

sidebar = bunniesbar

widget = > bunniesbar > settings > import RSS feed on bunny news

This came up due to not getting many comments with the default commments after switching off DISQUS due to problems (apparently a number of plugin devs working with Disqus complaining of lack of response to issues, so not sure if they are restructuring or on the way out, or what).

Not all sites benefit from comments, but some do. We have couple of sites where they are useful, and others we have just now turned them all OFF as waste of space and spam magnets which also artificially boost page views from the spammers hitting the pages to post comment spam.

Anyway… that’s where we’re at so far …

Hi, all.
I will email Lucian/Radu the example stuff.

But quick overview…. FB has their own generated code you can implement, which can be responsive and this method basically replaces their old defunct WP plugin for FB comments.

Example in action on IMDB news items:
http://www.imdb.com/news/ni59489163

But, basically you go here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/comments

You use the “configurator” to specify a website, and width such as “100%” for responsive divs.

Assuming your site is already setup for ‘apps’ in your FB developer/user account, you would on above page click the ‘get code’ and then it will ask you to assign to one of your sites (if more than one), and you have a block of code to use with a WP theme.

Block ONE, looks like this and would go after the body tag on POST template:
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.5&appId=XXXXXX";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>

then block two would either replace the comments box includes file, or simply be pasted into the template for the post, after post loop, after author box

<div class="fb-comments" data-href="http://mydomain.zzz" data-width="100%" data-numposts="5"></div>

Only trick is when you do the form, then get code, it will say “item not public, make public on your app menu” then trick there is to put in email, namespace (sitename all lower case), domain for app. Then click to make public. Going back to the configurator doesn’t make a new app, you’re still making just the ONE app for your site you specify; you can’t make 2 accidentally!

I tend not to worry about those as they ONLY load if somebody is running IE8 or IE9, both are deprecated (obsolete) browsers, so additional elements needed to make modern themes/sites/CSS work with those old insecure and security-borked browsers. So, they only load for those folks and not everyone else.

I think that’s in the header.php if you wanted to quash them. But, why?

I think Q 4 answer is because “theme is setup that way.” Doing a query by both would add a lot of overhead for every page load to search TWO different tables. At least that was what I understood.

You could likely hack the function file for that to modify the loop to query BOTH tables in the dbase.

Also, most posts are in a “category” with “tags” being additional fodder, such as

cat = books
tag = nonfiction

since all nonfiction items would also be in books, a bit redundant for most folks.

I would likely presume category to be a macro search and tag to be a micro search.

Just some thoughts on that you didn’t ask for 😉

I think it would be in the main functions file which is actually inside the includes booster folder. Usually if you look at the main functions.php file and look what is being “included” — you can see where the pieces actually are.

TagDiv will likely reply with specifics, but just some feedback while waiting on that 🙂

Check with your hosting provider as to where the error log is.

I’ve been using the theme for over 2 years, and other themes.

500 error means site crashed on ping/visit — could be overload — did you assign enough memory to your install?

If you get the error once a momth or on WordPress or theme update — THAT is normal.

If you’re getting it multiple times a week, then you have an issue with your hosting, WP setup, or plugins, etc.

Well, if Google tries to ping your site while updating, the site gives a 500 error since it’s not working … so it logs it as such. Doesn’t mean your site is broken. Just click “fixed” and move on. Common issue with all WP themes/installs. Not theme specific.

This was a bug introduced with WordPress 4.1.1 and not the theme.
For most folks simply updating to latest version of WP and clearing all your caching fixes this.
