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.

Should be in the CDN FAQs, too 😉

You need to either load the font locally (it’s in the theme in the images folder I think; basically a trimmed version of fontawesome) — or setup a CORS rule on your CDN. This is a protection setting that blocks fonts from being loaded “across domains” in browsers.

Really should be a FAQs page on this in the docs, but everybody using a CDN runs into this one eventually 🙂

We were looking to do this also, so feedback from anybody who has done this and not been ripped off by monthly fees or other nonsense, would be good to know 🙂

Might be something that changed with WP 4.2.2 — likely good to double check your php upload settings for your hosting account as this sometimes resets with a server update (meaning the max file size upload).

Try uploading from media manager vs from a post. That is “outside” the theme.

Make sure you have enough RAM allocated to WP, meaning at least 96MB vs default 40MB.

Make sure you’re not using a conflicting plugin, or something that tries to post the image to external location or something (e.g., CDN, Jetpack, etc.).

Likely you would need to edit the “row” CSS but not sure where. Tagdiv may have better answer.

To control number of items shown per category page overall, use hook here:

Links work for me — you might need to be more specific as to WHAT the problem actually is ?

I am using Chrome and the links are all blue and work for me.

Perhaps clear the cache/history in your Chrome web browser and make sure it’s updated to latest version. You do need to clear the caching in the browser from time to time!

Make sure your page is a PAGE and not a POST, make sure your PAGE is named something appropriate like “contact-us”

You can make backups several ways, and good to spend the time to learn — only YOU can manage your site content, backups, and security.

a) learn to download/backup the mysql dbase from your hosting panel for safe backup of content
b) learn to use FTP to download all the folders from your website, primarily things like images, plugins, theme, wp-config.php and htaccess files
c) learn to use the “export” settings in the WordPress admin panel
d) you can export some THEME settings from theme panel by copy/pasting some elements into a text file you save to your hard drive.
e) your hosting provder might have a one click backup/download option.
f) if you hire somebody or use a servvice, I can recommend the DUPLICATOR plugin which is a bit complex, but makes full snapshot which you can even move to another hosting provider if needed (advanced use and you’d likely need to hire somebody to implement for you).

There are also some paid services which install a plugin and then render a full snapshot of your content and dbase via php and then give you a download link to save that.

The page count actually counts how many times the page is loaded/viewed and not tied to FB in any way. Page views are written to custom field per post (look at the extra fields in your post view). So, you can update theme without losing the post views per post.

Note that FB has been changing how they show stuff to people, so somebody liking or sharing doesn’t always translate into any specific number of views from FB — theme doesn’t control whether people CLICK THROUGH from a share on FB to your site/pages.

For advanced users, you can start using a shortcode with tracking where you use shortcode for social and then track that by number of times shortcode is clicked through. But that is likely outside the scope of what you want to do here.

Not sure any of that helps .. just food for thought.

We use 500×375 images on one site (Newsmag) and they look great in FB 🙂

Theme supports ANY ad network… you just need to follow the docs to put in your custom HTML for the different media sizes … theme will print THAT into the spots unless it’s Adsense. At least that how it works for us.

simchris

Usually you can go back to your menu settings and resave them if WordPress update messes with something.

I usually turn off auto-updates until I make sure they actually don’t break things.

simchris

We use 800xXXX for Newspaper and 640xXXX for Newsmag. But you might want to try something else. Generally best to simply use the “actual size” in post for the template you use as the default.

simchris

You can place any ads you want into the ad system using the tools provided, or place the code into the template files directly. Not that hard for a professional publisher. We don’t have any problems with it over here.

Sure TagDiv may have better answer, but working fine for me.

Note…
be sure you did a search/replace in your dbase for any images “inside posts” which have http:://yuorsite/image.jpg type links. Make sure you added the explicit https path to your site in the wp-config.php file.

Do a full regenerate images run.

For instance, if you have an image in a post as http://yoursite/image.jpg and then a new related thumb is rendered in certain places, you may end up with http://yoursite/image-thumn.jpg

Make sure you have a full 301 redirect in place for *all* requests for http to redirect to https in your htaccess file at the TOP.

We went thorugh this nov. 20144 with our site. All of the above were needed.

You likely would need to create a script to look at the category and then do an if/then loop to load different text/java/iframe depending on the topic.

Or, create a custom template for a category like ‘shoes’ then hard code the related content being shown on that one custom shoe template.

The WP codex describes how to make a custom template for a category, usually based on the ID of the category. (e.g., if “shoes” were category #23 then you could make a template called category-23.php by cloning the template you have now)…

https://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates

The Template Hierarchy specifies that WordPress will use the first Template file it finds in your current Theme’s directory from the following list:

category-slug.php
category-ID.php
category.php
archive.php
index.php

I think you can keep using old one unless there is a security patch or other issue (which VC has had on at least 3 notable occassions). I’m using an older version here 🙂

Um, maybe download the files from your ThemeForest account where you bought it?

Just login to your account, and go to “downloads.”

If you download the “all files” — it will be in the /plugins/ folder 🙂

Good to make back-ups of your entire working site via FTP from time to time, especially prior to making changes/updates of any kind.

once again – this should be in a FAQs page so it doesn’t come up once a week.

note that FB does *NOT* always capture all the data properly when sharing, either via a button or manually posting into your stream/page — more common in mornings, or when busy. Generally the only thing you can is to ensure proper OG tags, and if sharing doesn’t work – share it, then click the ‘time since posted’ text link at top of post on FB for the item shared, then click right side triangle in post box to “refresh share attachment.”

We deal with this on daily basis going on about three years now.

FB simply doesn’t always capture stuff. Not theme, site, photo, or weather related. Their systems are processing billions of images each day, and not always works.

simchris

You would need to use a weather plugin and shortcodes on a “page” …

see the wordpress.org plugin repository for weather plugins and try them out.

simchris
tagDiv Member

You can find the changelog in the download folder of the “all files’ for theme from ThemeForest.

I’ve been watching it like a hawk over here … 🙂

All ad tech works with theme; you simply need to put some of the coding into the templates manually if not using the pre-built “ad spots” which basically just insert the code into the locations. Looking at the docs, you can see you can put ANYTHING into the ad posts, even just a static image — it will only switch to triggering custom jscript with Adsense. Anything else and it’s just a hook for your own code.

Google is not yet technically using AMP for everybody, but it’s coming soon … presumably with Chrome and Android Google will be scanning certain types of sites for compatibility as it does now with the “mobile ready” vector.

Google is great resource for looking up WHAT they are up to with this stuff.

E.g.,

https://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2016/01/amp-error-report-preview-in-search.html

https://www.ampproject.org/docs/get_started/create/prepare_for_discovery.html

Look for updates in search console once it fully ramps up 🙂
