Good job, although i didnt say to use the full url, i was pointing out to use the username per docs, but there was no such user account.

Good job showing how to set by channel vs user… Docs should be updated to show that ???

If you look at my sticky post on site optimization, one of the elements I added for the htaccess file is the fonts stuff like woff, and also webp image format 🙂

https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-chriss-custom-optimizations-for-functions-php-etc/

That “should” work … but also make sure you’re removing the versioning like the ?7 … but I guess you’re saying it’s not working?

Did you also check to see that the woff file type actually enabled on server? I ran into this with the webp format for images when we switched our main business site to https — for some bizarre reason we kept seeing “unknown file type” errors with webp — turns out the server didn’t know what kind of file that was (!). So, although woff isn’t new — it’s “possible” your server doesn’t have the MIME TYPE added at server level for woff and might need that for gzip/deflate at top level. Just a thought 🙂

I thought it only worked with the /user/ account per the docs.

so this doesn’t work as there is none

not sure if there is workaround — it might be in the forum already so you might do a quick search for that until TagDiv gets back to you on this 🙂

LOL… that will do it !! 😉

Well, you should of course make periodic backups of your entire website, such as via FTP, or your hosting account file manager.

Exporting
a) tools > export will save basic dbase stuff but not “the” dbase on server
b) theme panel > export settings — save to a txt file; saves most theme settings.

I won’t suggest the DUPLICATOR plugin, since if you’re asking this here that will be way beyond your skill.

You can use this awesome plugin for free:
“MY WP Backup”
http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/my-wp-backup.latest-stable.zip

Or look for that on theme repository, or auto-install via the WP add plugin panel for “My WP Backup.”

Cannot access website content.

Note that when you save images for web, they should be web jpgs, not photoshop jpegs (e.g., 100kb max vs 5MB+); consider adjusting the gamma up a bit for the web, test on an Apple display (e.g. IPS panel) or iPad/retina for best view of “what it really looks like.”

Make sure they are in RGB color space vs other multi-layer or high-gamma formats.

Looks like might be an issue with the caching plugin not set properly.

Theme does not manage server side or client side caching.

Probably start by looking at the php templates, like the header.php file… Likely need to find the menu files in the theme includes folder, remove the element and css, functions, and the parts that call other parts.

Or hire a developer.

Did you try it with the default WP theme and see what happens?

This is normal A/B testing practice 🙂

I have it on my to do list to play with that next month!

what is the error ?
you might need to be more specific ?

I had to do this recently and there are several things you can do

a) in your wp-config.php file add the express link to your site with https; this helps WP know “everything” should be https; WP should then in most cases do a 301 redirect for you. Should fix canonical issues, too.

e.g.,

define('WP_HOME', 'https://site.com');
define('WP_SITEURL', 'https://site.com');

Be sure to use either www or without www — and only do that ONE way, not both! Some SSL setups require the www.

b) you can edit your content via phpmyadmin to do a search replace for all images and internal links using http://mysite to https://mysite — as those are hard-coded in the text and no way to automagically change them. Dbase search/replace best way.

there are tools to do this such as the WP CLI plugin:
http://wp-cli.org/commands/search-replace/

c) ideally you may need to add a 301 redirect for “any” request made to site to serve only the https version so you don’t have two versions of site being served.

Often with theme updates, the sidebar widgets get reset on the appearance > widgets page as “inactive” and can simply be re-dragged to the location. Kind of a WP issue not a theme issue.

Might not be the issue you’re running into; so apologies if that provides no help at all.

I would love to see a TagDiv plugin for the ad page redirect to original requested page option; but these are sometimes things that might be better served through an ad system which is updated regularly as strictly an ad system to manage both ads, ad sales, ad placement and things like promoted post, custom post templates, etc.

Not super easy to do.

There is no way to stop an adblocker from running on somebody’s PC/Mac through WordPress.

Some plugins will show a “note popup” to adblock users, telling them something like “reading our content without the ads means we can’t pay to continue making great stuff” or somesuch — there are plugins to do this you might try out; try the WordPress.org plugin repository.

What some sites are doing is promoted content, textual ads manually inserted into content, interstitials that must be seen before page loads either as overlay (modal), or redirect — meaning “check to see external link > redirect to ad post > with forward link to the page originally requested” ….

these are way outside the scope of the theme itself, and are likely things included with pro-level ad module/management systems which have either high cost or ongoing subscription to keep updated.

If none of that makes sense, you may want to do more research on this issue online.

There is no “one size fits all” or “simple plugin fix” for this particular issue.

We are working through such options for our publishing network at this time, incidentally, since ad revenue has falling by 80% over past 4 years.

Best way to install is by unzip on your local computer, then upload via FTP.

If installing via the method you’re attempting, make sure those files are actually in the /includes/ folder you uploaded ! “File does not exist” means the installer can’t locate the file(s) to install.

Any file you over-write, yes.
So you would need to re-apply changes to user.ini, custom.css, function.php.

htacess is not managed by the theme.

Basically if you over-write any file in the /wp-content/themes/Newspaper/ folder, it gets over-written to replace the original file.

I usually keep track of my changes, then reapply changes to the new versions, then delete old theme folder, and upload new one via FTP which has my modified versions of new files.

Having the code inline actually loads faster than external file as it’s cached with the page and reduces wait time for external file to load before the page to allow it to render.

Did you also increase the default memory used by WordPress – this *must* be done in your wp-config.php file.

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

If you embed that into a text box, only the video from YouTube will render there; not a thumbnail built from the website/theme, since there is not theme page with the video.

I think you can disable “lazy loading” from the theme admin panel. Great to explore all the option panels to see what is there 😉

HI, you can use any plugin you wish. As long as it’s compatible with latest version of WordPress should work fine.

YOu can also search forum for many many discussions on this topic from past 2 years.

Also on Newsmag forum, topic from this month:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/adv-plugin/#post-65745

Try switching to the default WP theme, and see if that fixes it?
Theme should have nothing to do with your permalinks structure.

Be sure you clear ALL your server/CDN caching.

Did you try just renaming the current page you have for your home page now ?

Just change it and/or the title from “home” to “homepage” for example. Then go to your static setting and choose the new name.

Make sure you set your static page to the home page you created, from the WP admin panel under reading. Make sure the name of the page you create to set as static homepage is not the same as any other page on the site.

Link would be helpful…?

I think you can delete those in the header.php file.
