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.

I think that’s a built in feature of WordPress. Might be a plugin to over-ride that.

One possible solution

try different browser; IE11 on Win7/64 just goes into loop of doom with a lot of Ajax stuff in wordpress. Chrome seems best way to go.

Check the times ‘printed’ on your sitemap.

Time may be when captured, not published.

Do a php echo script of the current time on your domain.

You might look at “Newsmag” from TagDiv; this is a more narrow boxed layout and main difference between the themes. 🙂

Might be the malware popups you have on your site? Link launched multiple windows, forcing me to restart computer. BAD! BAD! BAD!

No help from me until you get your site fixed.

Try adding the ‘thumbnail upscale’ plugin which allows images to be enlarged to crop to fit.

simchris

They don’t have an upgrade rate, and most of the coding is now consistent between Newsmag and NP6; just be aware NP has “wider” layout you cannot change to be more narrow like Newsmag, and you might have to redo your homepage and widgets settings on the switch.

Why not turn off the emails for limit login attempts? Q E D

I use header style “8” to have the top stuff full width 🙂

Try it; you can change the header ‘style’ in the main theme panel without breaking anything.

But you can see the default ‘styles’ here:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/header-styles-newsmag/

Not sure there is one with
[logo][ad]
[full width menu]

but that would be nice to have!

different modules use different sizes; see theme docs for sizes for all moudules/blocks.

Try this via FTP:

a) delete all themes from theme folder except the last 3 ‘twenty’ themes that come with WordPress — WP will default to a stock theme if no other theme installed

b) rename the plugin folder to xplugin

c) login to your WP admin; then go to themes and change theme to twenty-fourteen; this resets the transient setting trying to load old themes

d) then rename plugins folder back

Follow the guide in my sticky post on optimization; you need to add the ‘handler type’ for fonts to your .htaccess file. (.woff is a font format used by modern browsers)

see:

Did you regenerate your thumbnails to fit theme sizes?

Note that WP cannot “enlarge” images to fit layouts, only reduce. This requires using a plugin (as I do) called “Thumbnail Upscale” which adds back in support for making images larger to fit/crop layout, which the folks who make WP have disabled due to a personal philosophy against it (even though your image module on web server supports it!).

Try adding that plugin, then use the “regenerate thumbnails” plugin.

Might not be the issue you’re having, but it looked like it when looking at your home page.

Complicated. You would need to edit the style.css file and other things; some might not fit anymore, such as images, modules, etc. — actually easier to use the “wide” theme, Newspaper 6 for “wide” theme.

I think you can create a post now “full width” without sidebar.

Be sure to
a) run test with GTmetrix.com on a post page; to show elements which can be optimized with help and examples

b) be sure to go through my complete sticky optimization guide; as well as the docs for speed provided by TagDiv

c) remember the more things you load from external sources (e.g., Jetpack, multiple ad networks, Disqus, etc.) all slow down your site so you have to find a balance on that.

TIP to lower potential depression on this topic:
1) test your post page with AdSense “off”
2) this will provide your “net score”
Google takes into account slowdown from its own loaded content.

So if your score is 87 with ads off; you have room for improvement; but if its 85 with ads “on” — your “net” score is actually the 87. This only applies to AdSense in my own experience on speed testing. Your mileage may vary, of course 🙂

(ADMIN: likely best to add something about this to the docs since it keeps coming up …)

simchris

Likely need to load icon font locally, not via CDN, or add a CORS rule for your CDN setup for the icon font in theme folder.

Shortcodes changed — see theme docs right side of page >>>

a) make sure you clear all your caching after changing themes; make sure your CDN/cloudflare etc supports mobile devices

b) make sure you regenerate thumbnails to ensure mobile sized images actually exist

c) use a plugin like ‘limit login attempt’s to stop people from trying to guess your password for WordPress; make sure you deleted your “admin” account and made the superuser some other name (e.g., anything other than ‘admin’ and not your site name like ‘planesadmin’ would be dumb!)

d) make sure you use Akismet for basic spam protection

e) consider other security “hardening” features (do google search for “WordPress Security Hardening”)

f) why would your WordPress self-hosted platform lock yourself out of your own admin account? Bizarre that your hosting provider turns off access to your WP admin — that isn’t nice.

This is often a memory issue; try increasing the amount of RAM allocated to WordPress both from server side with php.ini or panel setting *AND* mandatory also increase in wp-config.php to at least 96MB otherwise WP defaults to 40MB which is not enough for VC.

simchris

Hmn. Weird — I’m doing this on Newsmag and assumed would work identically for newspaper 6 — I think you might need to look at the page source and see what is actually being “printed” on the page in that spot to see if a style is being applied to the element aside from the div wrapper. If so, you’d need to apply the same CSS to your code (e.g., there may be a “margin-top:4px” or “padding-top:4px” or similar.

The quick fix is wrap your code in a span like

<span class="mypadder">[code here for time]</span>

then add custom css to the panel

.mypadder{padding-top:3px}

or margin-top, etc.

or wait until Monday for tagdiv official support 🙂

I don’t think they have coupons, or “special offers” unless you see one on Themeforest.

Be sure to clear all caching on your website, CDN, cloudflare or whatever.
