You can minify the style.css file by following my tips in my pagespeed optimization sticky post, as well as other tips/tricks for speeding up/optimizing your site — including a new method of compressing .js files without breaking them, recommended by Google. 🙂

You should have gotten email already showing the update which was posted last week; do a download of all files from your account for theme; open on your PC/Mac; in the plugins open the js-composer plugin and look at the changelog/version info to see it’s been updated to a secure version.

Try resaving your menus 🙂

Posts have H1 tag for the post title; simply do “view source” and you can see your actual page code/HTML and do search for “h1” … it’s there 🙂

Not from the admin panel, per se, but you can modify the desktop @screen viewport in the style.css file to experiment. If you dont know how responsive css works, might be prob.

Tagdiv might have tip for you on monday. ?

Do forum search for my posts with radu re the vc shim beta… Nit sure it works with latest vc, but if you can live with only the tagdiv modules and blocks and none of the whackier vc stuff, it might still work.

Good question for radu? Does shim beta still work?

I think it used to be in the header.php file ….

Put the right account in your setup: such as YOAST SEO, and for each USER which is publishing/posting content.

Check the sharing setting in the theme panel also:

Hope that helped !!!!

Best way is to make a new row in your homepage layout in visual composer and add the text there. Does not need to be at top of page, can be anywhere on page — such as bottom of page as a description of what your site is all about. H1 tags are an HTML tag and must be part of visible text, not in the META data.

a) use the WP admin > tools > export

b) use the theme panel > export /copy-paste settings to text file

c) if your host supports it, use phpadmin to clone/copy your existing dbase as backup

d) use a plugin that makes local back-up of site
http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/my-wp-backup.latest-stable.zip

e) download all files from your site via FTP.

Try the WP panel for posts > categories …

Try the WP menus setup — appearance > menus …

See WordPress docs as good basic starting point 🙂

https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Optimization/Caching

You need open graph tags in your meta data otherwise Google will try to “scrape” the page, and might capture wrong data — very common if you have mega-menu running.

The *only* way to fix this is to have proper OG (open graph) tags which are used by social media to properly capture the data from your page — there are various plugins for this if you don’t want to use YOAST.

Nothing anybody here can “fix” without the OG tags in place.

Simples thing to do is use a plugin which is what I do here.

Contact Form 7 is very popular.

We use this one on several sites, for several years now:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/si-contact-form/

One thing you might try, if you already have an image “in the post” of some type is do what I did; use the “auto post thumbnail pro” plugin which will automatically take first image from post (or from external site, if necessary) and then generate thumb and assign as “featured” image in every post.

This saves having to hack WP, the theme, the image files, etc.

Make back up of your dbase, first, obviously, but might be worth a try if that is what you’re trying to do — get existing images into the default WP “featured” post field.

Check your Yoast SEO plugin, if enabled, to see if you “disabled author pages” in sitemap or similar.

Hm..
might be plugin conflict, permalinks issue; or double check the author “name” has no tildes or language based characters in it … check the “user” settings and look at the username, display name, and check for odd characters, try changing the “display name” …. try resaving the username/account.

Make sure the social and ad systems are not causing redirect issues, which I’ve seen before due to too many things loading on page causing conflict (check F12/console in Chrome, for example …).

Check your htaccess file to make sure there are no leftover “rules” from a prior theme causing issues or redirects.

Not sure any of that will help, but place to start! 🙂

Well, you can obviously make a “post” page with info about the interview, and use the built-in embed function for audio from WordPress ….

For home page, you could simply create a text box in sidebar widget, and put some text there like an h3 or whatever, short description and the mp3/4 HTML5 embed that WP supports out of the box?

see:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Audio_Shortcode

or plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/audio-player

as is often the case the hosted wordpress.com has better docs 🙂 But in most cases same principals:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/audio/

Can’t get to your website … so … unable to help on this one.

TagDiv back tonight.

Perhaps try turning off all other plugins except Visual Composer; clearing all your cache; check page in console for JS errors. Check Disqus twitter account to see if service outage, etc.

If comments not showing *in* your Disqus account itself, then there is problem with plugin conflict.

If comments are showing *in* your Disqus admin account, but NOT on your post pages, either plugin conflict, or connection issue, caching/ajax issue or similar.

Also double check the wordpress.org support page for any known timeouts/bugs/conflicts with other things.

None of that might apply to you — just some normal debug food for thought. Damn WordPress gremlins!!!! 🙂

Make sure you change the “name” of the theme in the style.css file, which will also appear in the appearance > themes panel. Basically you might do:

a) change theme folder /Newspaper/ >> /mysitename/ (be sure not to name same as a category or post!)
b) in your style.css, change the “name” of the theme (which populates the appearance data)

(might have to ‘reselect’ the new theme name in appearance > settings — might delete some settings, be sure to backup!!)

c) use something like mod_pagespeed or other system which removes all “comments” from HTML (plugin, CDN, etc.)
d) view page source in text editor, do search for old theme name
e) clear all caching on server/CDN, browser, if not done so already

That would change the “basic” name of the theme in the HTML to your new theme name.

Again, this won’t change the name of modules, plugins (e.g., speedbooster, td social plugin, etc.), or CSS elements with “td_classname” …

However it would fix things like

/wp-content/themes/mynewname/style.css

to show /mynewname/ in place of orig theme name.

Also need to be active in the MAIN WP “discussion” panel.

Also try doing the “sync” and “download” buttons in the Disqus admin panel for plugin on your site.

Login to your Disqus panel from the comments > disqus button in WP admin and make sure your comments are actually there, too.

It does work.

For those curious why I’ve been recommending disabling XML-RPC on WP, here is more fuel for the fire on “why I do that …” —

Yes, you can remove the envato updater entirely. I don’t have that on any of my sites anymore. Nothing but problems!

Hi normally it’s in the “all files” download. I didn’t look this time for 6.5.1, sorry; just presumed it was there.

I also come back here to see if any issues prior to install from “first adopters,” and TagDiv had mentioned it here too.
