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.

That’s for translation, in case you’re blocked from getting to Envato to look for yourself ;-0

SO, looks like you’d want to create a mega manu and then put the four graphics linking to four different “publications” for the diff languages.

So, mega menu expert needs to step in … here …. !

You will need to re-create your home page, sidebars, menus, as they are two totally different themes.

This may not apply to your issue but seems like might be for the ‘author’ thing — thought they fixed this…

Are you building different version of site – or using Google translate ?

Presumably you could use the Google translate default widget, stick on your page; then do each translation to get the link for each language, then make a mega menu element like above ….

Or try one of the plugins out there … have not tried this … but have been looking at similar solutions for our next revamp:

So did you try the Facebook debug tool already ?

https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/

Did you test your post for errors from plugins using the ‘console’ in Chrome or similar ?

Google sometimes has problems and you have to resave, retry the share to get it to work. I run into this with Google News and the G+ and Twitter share; sometimes leads to wrong item, and then I have to go back and hit share again. Happens with all themes, not just this one.

Might not be related to your issue, but just food for thought.

If your OG tags are correct, and there are no console errors on your page, the theme cannot “change what Google grabs” — if you look at your title, description, and other meta data and it’s correct, Google will pull from those first unless they have some hiccups with your site unrelated to theme.

But I’m sure if you post a link to example page, TagDiv support will be happy to look for you ๐Ÿ™‚

Did you setup OG tags for Google+ and Facebook?

Otherwise both will just ‘scrape’ information without the tags and often get it wrong.

Use a plugin like Yoast SEO or other to set your open graph tags for Google and Facebook, or you will always have this issue with most themes other than base theme.

This is why Yoast SEO recommended in the theme docs. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Useful also to learn how these things actually work so you take charge of your own website:

Great place to learn to use WordPress is the official codex; often you can do google search like wordpress codex increase memory, and similar ๐Ÿ™‚

https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP

ideally you want to make sure you have at least 96MB allocated to php for your site from your hosting company; and then edit your wp-config.php file (above), to also change to 96MB.

Stupidly, WP defaults to 40MB which is fine for blog, not for a magazine! ๐Ÿ™‚

Works for me on WP 4.3, so likely completely different issue.
You may need to increase the default memory for WP in your wp-config.php file, make sure you disable all plugins temporarily other than Visual Composer, and make sure you clear all your caching if used.

Look for official reply from TagDiv; this is just my feedback.

Good tutorial video in theme docs. We used it on site with thousands of articles and mo issues. Check the docs link right side of this page for good starting point.

1. will be done with custom CSS; I forget the exact CSS; but tagdiv will update Monday.

2. Use visual composer to create that layout and choose the post categorie(s) you want to be included in that module. You can easily “experiment” by adding a new row to your home page layout to test.

Simple enough to add a new module, save, then preview.

If you don’t want to mess with your current live page, make new page, then play with that until you have what you want, then make that new page the replacement for your live static front page.

Not sure that helps, but those are the broad strokes.

3. Try importing the “tech news” style/demo from the theme panel … but only the style not any other demo content.

Yes – you should update plugins ๐Ÿ™‚

Hi
you only need to regenerate thumbs when moving to a new them like this one.

Otherwise the theme generates the thumbs automatically as long as you set a FEATURED image per post. It won’t create thumbs just placing an image into a post — WordPress doesn’t do that; it needs a featured image set.

simchris
tagDiv Member

nope – it will still work if you change domain name.
I recently did this for one site which was 10 years old with long name, now with short name. ๐Ÿ™‚

Won’t impact license.
Will impact everything else …

I recommend using the DUPLICATOR plugin if you’re changing a site to a new name.

Works fine. Tested by TagDiv prior to upload to ThemeForest ๐Ÿ™‚

simchris

Yes. ๐Ÿ™‚

simchris

Unless your server doesn’t have imagemagik running, you should get multiple thumbs when you upload a NEW image or regenerate thumbs. You can also check your error log to see if something is broken.

Are you using a CDN or something — in that case the images are not on your site but on the CDN with some setups.

Link to one of your pages might be useful ?

They look very good on my high quality Apple Cinema Display (IPS panel, color calibrated), also.

One note: if you’re using the “optimization” setting for the “quality” factor in your functions.php to change from default 90 to the 50 from my optimization sticky post, you can try dialing that back to something like 65.

Also note with ANY image which is predominately “red” — this is the color not well compressed by JPEG; in some cases it’s worth experimenting with PNG/24. In Photoshop any “lots of red” image generally needs at least a “32” level setting and possibly “52” compression setting vs the normal “15-22” you can use for many other images for optimum max compression.

and of course my venerable sticky post on optimization is designed to help you learn to do most of the heavy lifting EXCEPT for a cache plugin here:

normally WordPress uploads images into the wp-content/uploads/ folder unless you have changed that, or have older setup which allows manually changing location from the WP media settings page ?!!

https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Media_Screen
As of 3.5, wp-content/uploads is the default path setting for the uploads folder. Assuming this is your path setting, if you check this box, a file uploaded in June of 2010 would be placed into the wp-content/uploads/2010/06 folder. Note: At the time of the actual upload, WordPress will automatically create the folders, such as wp-content/uploads/2010 and wp-content/uploads/2010/06, as long as your wp-content folder is writeable

You need to have og tags added otherwise g plus scrapes page and gets confused. Using something like yoast seo or the wpmu seo plugin should fix it.

Glad you are rockin it…

I will be adding a tip jar here for sending me ginger bread cookies via amazon ?

Theme cannot enlarge images; you may need to use the “thumbnail upscale” plugin ๐Ÿ™‚

Most often this is from using JetPack image tools, which I think suck.

you might want to post a new topic, as your note has nothing to do with the thread you’re posting on.
