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.

do you have proper open graph tags in your headers?

access error?
You might try installing via FTP, as safeest way.

The DUPLICATOR plugin is the best way to migrate site. We’ve been using it for years as it maps all the paths to the new locale.

I am running Newsmag on PHP 8.2x with zero issues. Try disabling plugins other than the tagdiv composer plugin. Not all third party plugins work with PHP8. Theme *does*.

Also note you must disable all caching plugins, clear caching, and after changing PHP versions if you see gateway error refresh browser, as that is also cached.

Try enabling debug mode in your wp-config file then look at the generated errors when switching to PHP 8.2x (don’t go to 8.3 yet!).

In our case, PHP 8.2x worked better.
Also, limiting the number of “modules” on home page, not using ‘related posts’ element bottom of posts, limiting number of modules on sidebar, trimming overdone mega menu, removing image call for dynamic search box; doing normal security stuff like disabling XMLRPC and access to core files via htaccess, all helped cut queries by 70%.

Dumb question? Did you actually install TD composer plugin?

What are the errors shown in the error log for WordPress? Theme version? PHP version?

simchris

you might have to escape or encode any html in the link

btw, reminder time to retire /amp links altogether as Google abandoned that in 2023. Best to stop using them and 301 redirect all /amp or /?amp=1 endpoints to your canonical links. AMP no longer needed for mobile validation. Google has retired/abandoned AMP.

Simplest course, since not theme related in any way, is to hire developer for custom plugin

— or, what I’d try is setting up search on the sub domain, then insert a search box on your main site that points to the search plugin on the target site. Meaning main site has simple HTML form element that targets the plugin on the sub domain doing the search.

I think they posted link to updated version here for somebody else last week – possibly do search while waiting for support reply 🙂

? you setup a database when you install WordPress; or WP would not work. This is usually noted in your wp-config.php file in your root install. Theme does not setup database, you do with WordPress.

Sorry, guess i didn’t understand.

simchris

Easy on home page or side bar. I create category called ‘Featured’ then basically setup a block to pull item(s) from that category.

In my own experience, having too many modules used at same time, too complicated mega menu, and related posts plugin active all cause high load. Not counting normal security stuff like disabling XMLRPC etc. to stop “hits” overloading site or hacking attempts.

Confirming latest 2 versions of Newsmag work with PHP 8.2x.

simchris
tagDiv Member

Isn’t that done from normal WordPress settings?

Not sure this helps, we are using this plugin over here
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-external-links/

EDIT: hmm.. looks like the plugin is now trying to upsell folks to pro version and no longer includes some stuff like internal link settings for free. *sigh* TagDiv could make better version of this plugin now, frankly.

wasn’t that in the control panel under footer, underfoot setting?
Sorry, I get newspaper and newsmag confused over here.

doh…
solved:
‘grid line color’ 🙂

simchris

ok… gave up on this. Going to use “wide” 2 image feature box across full menu width. Then the 2+1 layout below.

Thanks for help. Really bizarre thing. Something being ‘enlarged’ which shouldn’t in the 2 col layout.

Wheee!

simchris
tagDiv Member

Thanks; will futz with it a bit more.
Worst case, will see if I can do some kind of single image in the two column spot. Don’t recall if there is a single image block kind of like slider without the slide.

Stupid Windows 11. It’s the Windows 8 of modern era. Ugh.

simchris
tagDiv Member

not sure why older version of newsmag not affected by this…something to do with the structure and padding on either side of slider to fit in column in current code

will play with it more unless you have another suggestion…no other content blocks affected by this

simchris
tagDiv Member

so, argh. this fix seems to solve windows issue, but then on ipad portrait and landscape slider overall width now smaller.

simchris

Hm. OKaaaay. So it looks like the zoom impacts the “size” of the element on Chrome/Windows with Windows accessibility stuff active. NOT Chrome zoom.

I got someplace with this:
@media (min-width: 700px) {.td_block_slide{max-width:95%}}
@media (min-width: 1000px) {.td_block_slide{max-width:639px;}}
