It was fixed.
You likely need to update your caching, reset CDN, etc.

Latest update resolved issue. Make sure you clear your cacheing/reset CDN, etc.

It *is* fixed for those running WP 4.4.

Theme update was posted already and ready for download from your ThemeForest account. If you check the “send email” option on your downloads page you can be notified when updates are released.

I don’t think the actual updated files list for the WP4.4 were included in the list of changed files for either theme, at least in the initial download. Meaning, for those who just wanted to drag over the single files for category/big grid fix, that was not self evident.

Theme does not control media uploads. I can upload png files without any trouble, since we use that for logo and also in WooCommerce. Make sure you have enough HD space on your account; make sure your image folder is writable.

Try clearing cache, and also try uploading via the media manager outside of a post.

Also ensure you use proper file names — no spaces, no multiple periods, no high characters like ! ( * & % etc.

This is bug introduced by WP 4.4 – the new theme update this week fixes the problem introduced by WordPress.

You may also need to increase the default limit in your php.ini settings (see your hosting control panel).

try clearing your caches ?

in my case, I also found I had to put the memory limit at top of my config file.

Also note your original post had it at 40MB ::

WP Memory Limit 40 MB/request –
We recommend setting memory to at least 64MB. The theme is well tested with a 40MB/request limit, but if you are using multiple plugins that may not be enough. See: Increasing memory allocated to PHP. You can also check our guide here.

Did you try making the boxes on page visible from the visibility tab top right of the post/page writing page, when creating/editing a page/post?

Also, if you don’t have enough memory allocated the VC page might not work – hence increasing memory. My system won’t work right without 96MB allocated vs default 40MB.

Worth a try.

Doesn’t have to be. They are only relative sizes not levels of importance.

In semantic terms you might want the h3 content titles to have higher relevance than h4 block titles. Does not really matter since all that data is temporary on most news sites — meaning the h3 tags for story titles might be gone next day or hour on busy news site.

You could likely hack that in the modules settings if it really matters to you. Doesn’t matter for SEO purposes or most machine readers.

Supports any banner ads. HTML5 is just HTML it’s not magic sauce. 🙂

You can paste your custom HTML into the ad box units per the theme docs.

You can paste HTML5 code into a text widget in sidebar; or into any of the post templates you’re using if perhaps using custom ad manager plugin.

Updating your default memory per the above post is advisable.

You do this in your wp-config.php file.

Be sure to watch the turorial video right side of page in theme docs, to make sure you’re making a “page” properly.

Not sure that helps, without knowing more about what you’re trying to do.

You can create a text block in the page grid, or a simple sidebar box, to put an h1 wrapped short description of your site.

h2 is usually only for sub-heads, like a large section header. But not necessary, semantically. But you could add a new “row” to a section of elements with something like “Music News” wrapped in h2.

Only have *one* h1 on home page.

You can usually upload a simple php script to echo the ‘local’ server time.

<?php
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
?>

or long winded discussion
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/470617/get-current-date-and-time-in-php

We had similar issue on our old server (2010-2013) where we could never get it to always explicitly be EST/EDT. We had to add a php variable to specify time zone as “New York”.

Well, the update script, if you ask for it, migrates many of the existing settings from old theme to new one. You can then tweak a few of the home page modules for the new system. Not terribly painful. it’s a whole new theme, but the updater scriptlet helps with that quite a bit. You might also need to reset a couple of modules in sidebar(s). But a lot of the normal settings are saved through the WP transients just like any “same theme” update, vs upgrade. it’s only the things that totally changed which require some tweaks.

Of course, always keep backups via FTP, and your mysql dbase so you can “go back” if you mess things up too badly.

Hey, no prob. I don’t work here, but “been there” 🙂

Did you increase default memory for your WP install in the wp-config.php file? 96MB or higher recommended.

Do you have the right php settings for your hosting account ?

Without the exact PHP error you got, kind of hard to comment on that.

I just went to your site, seems to be working fine. Ads not loading, but likely due to me being in US.

Oops, just got this “http://insight007.com/?p=952” // 500 internal server error.

You might try clearing any/all caching, reset CDN, and resave your permalinks.

Check the date/time on your hosting account settings.
Check the date/time setting in your WP admin panel.

Theme does not control the date/time of WP.

Hm. It “looks” like a tracking code; like you’d see in Google analytics, Google ad, affiliate program, or simliar.

When you look at your page source you can see it looks like it’s part of some script placed in your header, but missing part of the code …

UA-71280683-1<noscript>

So, likely want to double check your theme panels for the custom CSS, custom Javascript, check the ad panel, and turn OFF any plugins which write anything to the header. Double check your YOAST SEO settings you didn’t put some code in there incorrectly as well.

UA = often short for user accountm, user analytics, etc.

Glad you got it sorted 🙂

(darn pesky cdn!!)

@mboydnv
I do agree on being a bit against the “bloated one plugin for all” concept. I used to hate YOAST. We used to build our own themes, or hack things like Canvas to add custom if/then and queries for meta data in our headers. Yoast simply made it easier for us to deploy and add some things more quickly. But it has gotten a bit big and bloated and every major version it crashes and burns. I certainly don’t think it’s the only game in town, but it does work for a lot of folks. Of course, we’re using some other things on some sites, just because they’re smaller and work as well.

As for canonical tags — the reason they are useful for many sites, is for things like the pending /amp/ protocol from Google rolling out in 2016 to speed up mobile pages separate from things like mod_pagespeed or http/2 (previously inclusive of mod_SPDY). So, for example mobile accelerated pages will soon be loaded as so:
yoursite.ooo/name-of-my-article/amp/ — in this context, the canonical tag is useful to identify the /amp/ version is not another page, but an alternate “version” of the same page.

In our case — I should have stated — we syndicate our news from some sites, and the canonical tag helps identify we did it first, and when we link back to the parent page from the child syndicator.

Also be aware that article on MOZ is from 2013, and going into 2016, the canonical tag is more mature now.

However, you are correct — if you have no duplicate versions of content, if you’re not dealing with malformed inbound links to your site like /site/name-of-article/?12hy6 — where Google is saying you have duplicate content for too many 404 errors — then you may not need it !!

In our case, it helps control inbound malformed links from external sites, and also because with modern social media you have a dozen sites inventing their own links to your website page; meaning FB, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. all use a shortcode in some case to link to you, and the canonical can help identify that the URL on your site is the de-facto CORRECT one, even though it should be self evident being on your site.

I’m not arguing you need to have them, just saying they are useful and do NOT hurt inbound traffic in any way. Just like adding a default img tag, or an author tag, or other meta data; it’s read by those systems that have use for it, and other things ignore it.

Anyway — just some food for thought 🙂

Might be from pasting in something to your ad unit boxes incorrectly.

At this point likely good to pick a service you think works for what you need, then go read reviews of that service.

This is also the point we’re at here. We want to add an app sometime early next year, but have not chosen one or gotten very far on looking either.

Note these apps are not “theme” specific — they would work with any WordPress site as they repackage content, so it’s not practical for a theme developer to spend the time/money on testing all possible plugins/services.

Sorry nobody here had help on this. We’re all in same boat as you 🙂

Not really great for SEO as it can be “gamed” — meaning why would a story with a higher rating be better in SEO if nothing can be validated that the ratings are true.

Might only be useful if you wanted to be able to “highlight” content in some way based on visitor rating and then make that more visible site-wide which might improve it’s ranking related to your own website, but not in relation to anybody else’s.

Did you update the speed booster plugin if using it, and the visual composer plugin also ? Did you update the social plugin ? New theme often includes new version of plugin(s) also. Which you can see by looking at the “changelog” included with each update zip file.

Did you also update to WP 4.4 ?

Clear all caching ?

Try turning off all plugins except Visual Composer?
