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 don’t think you can. It’s a “wide” them which then is responsive to fit smaller devices.

You would have to change all the modules, layouts, CSS, etc. — not simple.
This is purpose of the brother/sister NEWSMAG theme — more narrow layout.

Did you update your base memory allocation for WP in wp-functions.php — ? this can help quite a bit. Add config line to make it 96MB or more to increase from WP’s default 40MB.

See my sticky post on optimization if you don’t know how to do that or read the WP official docs/codex on editing wp-config.php file.

Might not be issue; but great place to start!

Likely best to simply deactivate plugins except for VC, then check for errors in log as you turn each plugin back on.

You could also use a text application to scan your plugin folder on local PC/Mac to find that function in the text of the offending plugin.

Another way to debug — look for any plugin not updated in 2015, or since WP 4.2 came out.

You might also check my tutorials on “optimization” of WordPress here:

You should have gzip or deflate active on server also.

Check your site with gtmetrix.com to see if perhaps you need to optimise images, etc.

@kaixer
link to an example page ?

Can’t you just set the noindex of subpages option in Yoast SEO?

Otherwise you would need to do something like edit the header to do an “if is page greater than one, the echo meta” conditional expression.

Or, follow best practice and don’t do “next page” from home page at all; and only do from categories which is normal best practice where you can control the meta with Yoast SEO very simply. There should be no homepage/2 homepage/3 homepage/4.

Probably need to modify the woocommerce templates found in the theme folder, as starting point.

I’d likely try turning some stuff OFF and see what happens. Something is causing the page not to load, obviously. Might be something unique to your sandbox, and something not loading cross domain or similar.

See theme docs right side of page as good place to start on doing update >>>

Pages are there just not showing up in browser — source code all there.

Sure you’re not making posts with VC ?

In looking at your page source for a sample post …

It always takes a little bit for things to “shake out” when you change themes, also if you change ad positions.

I’ve found looking at AdSense “recommendations” for placement can help; however I used their suggested for inline ad and readership went down due to people hating a big giant ad in middle of fourth paragraph.

Reads back up since I got rid of that.

So, as in all things: change, test, modify, test, examine, test, etc.

We’re still using 4.3.5 ๐Ÿ™‚

Might not be issue; but make sure you fully deleted old version of SpeedBooster plugin; and install the new one included with the NEW version of theme, if you’re using NP 6.1.

Disable Akismet, then re-enable again.

a) delete old social counter plugin
b) clear all your site/CDN caching
c) install new social counter plugin
d) put widget in sidebar
e) put in your social account info per the examples
f) check the page on your site
g) if not working, check to see if you have conflict with some other FB/twitter plugin (try F12 in browser to show console errors; easiest with Chrome)

Don’t expect answers in an hour; it’s not a pizza delivery place ๐Ÿ˜‰

simchris

Not having this problem over here.

Always good to
a) try using different web browser; make sure javascript not “disabled” in browser.
b) turn off all plugins except VC to see if plugin conflict
c) check your CDN is loading files properly if loading theme files from CDN
d) make sure you cleared your cache on CDN/server/plugin so you’re loading correct files
e) if you broke something in child theme; try using theme without child theme

We have issues from time to time with IE on Win7/64 in saving widgets; but works 100% in Chrome.

simchris

Apologies; my suggested code applies to over-ride the “default” WP comments box, and not a customized version as used with theme (doh). ๐Ÿ™‚

simchris

Make sure you increase the base memory for WP to at least 96MB in your wp-config.php file. 128 or 256 better if your host setup allows that.

This is mandatory when using VC.

simchris
tagDiv Member

Seems to be working fine except too many menu items.

simchris

Should be option bottom of theme admin panel main page to save theme settings.

Also in wp panel, tools, export, for story data … Though not reliable over 10,000 posts.

Also ftp backup htaccess and wpconfig.

From host account backup php dbase.

Did you update to the NEW version of the TagDiv Social Counter included with the theme update? It can be found in the plugins folder in the download from themeforest. That is usual reason for it not working ๐Ÿ™‚

simchris

make sure you don’t have bad characters in username (e.g., tildes or whatever as that can cause problems although it’s supposed to be sanitized).

When you click on author NAME under byline does it go to author page? That is one thing, author bio box is a different thing entirely.

Author’s website link from user bio, would be the URL shown at bottom of bio box. But author photo and “name” at top of the bio box below post should also link to same place.

Be sure to check if you have a plugin causing conflict, or java error from F12 in chrome or IE.
