Did you also change default memory setting for wordpress in wpconfig file?

See the docs… You need to specify the static page being used for home page.

Try increasing the default memory for WordPress in your wp-config.php file per the WordPress Codex (docs) on how to edit the wp-config.php file.

The theme writes many more thumbnails per file upload than default theme; also try disabling jetpack, and all plugins except for Visual Composer.

You need to use Gravatars for your photos or use an author photo plugin.

See the WordPress codex for information on how WP handles author images.

… plugin recommended there to *disable google fonts in wp-admin interface* – Disable Google Fonts

Um, no.
The forum is on the tagdiv web server — not Envato. Envato can’t “cut off your account” on this forum. Only cut off additional downloads from the ThemeForest repository.

I think this has become necessary for some theme developers who deal with 5 hours of tech support for folks who buy a $59 theme; then a year later want another 5 hours of support. Nobody can make a living that way. I’ve been one of many (sorry!), pushing this idea the past 3 years on ThemeForest so theme authors can make a living *and* continue to develop and support products for clients.

For example, client buys v2 of theme – works great, gets bunch of support for customizations, site is awesome. 2 years later new super version theme comes, out customer gets it free, and now wants ANOTHER bunch of support for customizations and “how do I get it to work with plugin XYZ” … that’s crazy for a company to offer for a $50-60 product.

Otherwise they would have to at some point charge for support tickets unrelated to an ‘actual” bug or theme issue. Like the guy on Newspaper them who was “furious” over problem, and got all sorts of support, turned out it was issue with Cloudflare. Wow, huge time waster for TagDiv.

So I would not panic if you’re an existing customer – sky not falling – get your site setup, and get on with your life and make great content. TagDiv has already said they will continue to support existing clients, as they have done the past couple of years — often going above and beyond for clients who REALLY need to learn to use WP before coming here at all.

Sorry – not trying to be a troll or war of words, or anything, these are just my thoughts and reflect no policy or anything from the company or anybody else — just an opinion.

We started to sell themes 6 years ago and stopped doing so due to this very issue … folks really want a theme developer to help them debug their server, their plugins, their photos, their life, their coffeecake, and that’s just not reasonable in any business case. Hopefully some middle ground will be found, and 6 months is plenty of time for a buyer to get support on setup, shoot down bugs, etc for the small amount being paid.

TagDiv should add a FAQs page with answers to “top 10 questions” for stuff like this, how to hide the search box, how to change time/add time to post, how to add more social buttons, etc. — that would save a lot of posts here ! 🙂

I think modern WordPress defaults to using ImageMagik first, so also check with host to ensure that is turned on too.

You can deactivate plugins on a live site at any time — the world isn’t going to end … just turn them off except for bbpress and visual composer — pages will still work, test your page, then turn them back on one by one to see which one is causing the problem. Nobody can figure out which plugin is breaking your site other than you.

I believe you can disable that “feature” in your Adblock account …

https://adblockplus.org/blog/about-that-facebook-tracking-thing

Theme cannot control Adblock behavior.

Usually also found in the changelog files included with each new download 😉

I would stick with one of the major shortcode providers like bit.ly or even goo.gl …

we use our own YOURLS shortcode system which keeps the shortcodes local.

The plugin I suggested — one of many — does not tie you to ONE plugin service …

so for example — using your own local shortcodes built-in to WP:
◾Nice ID links – http://your_site/123 instead of http://your_site/index.php?p=123
◾Shortcode support (Ver 3.1): Place [shortlink] in your article where you want to display the shortened url.

SO, in this context you could edit the functions file for the theme to possibly put the shortcode where the shortcode would go.

You know — I don’t usually suggest add-ons for the TagDiv themes …
but *THIS* functionality would be an awesome future feature for the themes!!

Radu and co; see the plugin I’ve referenced above; this option for the theme would be super cool!!

Maybe try a plugin for this … ?

Try the WordPress.org plugins repository.

Hi –
you might be able to hide/disable them partially using the custom code from my sticky post for site optimization, specifically the first bits related to feeds, which would be added to the bottom of the theme functions.php file in a text editor (NOT WORD PROCESSOR)

 remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_generator' ) ;
 remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wlwmanifest_link' ) ;
 remove_action( 'wp_head', 'rsd_link' ) ;
 remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links', 2 );
 remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links_extra', 3 );

Frankly anything can be <h2> or <h3> contextually as long as it’s not h1.
In reality those elements are only used for identifying it’s a headline — one size is not better than another for anything other than applying a style sheet; or within one “group” where an h2 would be shown “semantically” to be superior to an h3 tag.

So, in sidebar widget it really makes no functional or semantic difference whether h2 or h3.

Not a help, I know — just an observation.

In other words, both could be h3 and then apply different size class to the div wrapper to adjust font/size/style per “class” …

Google doesn’t make it “better” or anything because it’s h2 in short term relational content that lives outside the main “article” block.

Lewis, probably helps not posting same things more than once like “how to hide things on mobile…” which is asking for custom programming help to do stuff theme not setup for out of the box …

posting yet another question here like this just slows down the whole process because guess what ? now somebody at tagdiv support has to answer this post !

Also check your open graph tags in your post page meta to make sure it’s showing the correct featured image as the one to be captured.

disable any “lazy loading” images setting
a) first try the theme panel for theme option
then
b) try changing any such setting for WPengine

I think you can replace the default “no image” image with your own, such as a site logo or similar.

Obviously some image needs to be in the layout for a module with images.

Or, if you have images in your post or video, etc., without setting a featured image, you can use a plugin to “auto” set first image in post to be featured — which is helpful with older sites (we had this issue on our 10 year old sites).

You can remove categories from the WordPress settings panel, under posts > categories

see the WordPress Codex/docs on WordPress.org for help using basic WP functions.

disable the lazy load animation !

(redacted…. my bad … doh!)

Works okay for me.

Theme doesn’t manage RSS, that’s done by WordPress.

Use a CSS validator online to see if you have a malformed character in your text somewhere breaking the UTF8 encoding.

eg
http://feedvalidator.org/

Well, keep in mind some theme developers get swamped with RTFM support questions on how to use WordPress, how to install WooCommerce, and folks who decide to completely change their site layouts/design 10 months later and want another hour of free support to teach them how to do basic CSS fixes, or “where do I download my file update from ThemeForest?” — so, at some point there are good reasons for two kinds of support.

Presumably support for the THEME should be free; but basic “where do I log in to WordPress” questions really should be limited as folks need to take ownership of learning to use the platoform and stop expecting the theme to completely manage a website.

Just my two cents.

On the other hand, I’m not renewing my Canvas/Woo licenses, after paying for them several times over. Their last support ticket took 5 days for reply, and they didn’t provide an answer on how to fix something they changed back the way it had been for 5 years. Answer was, too bad, sorry, for something related to having sidebar visible on iPad portrait.

Sorry — kind of ranting there 🙂
