btw…
if you’re *not* using my example cache expiration file for htaccess … note most of the other versions forget to include expirations for font files (!).

So, be sure to look at that as one possible element for the font expiration headers (e.g., .woff).

As to the .js issue … that is odd … might be a setting on the main server for default expiration times, or some interaction with varnish cache time.

Aw, shucks ….
you’re lucky I just went through doing this exact same thing for one of my websites this month, so I already had it done 🙂

Glad I could help!!

(my karma points bucket is now full for this month!) 😉

Redirect does seem to work, and site does resolve to www. Hmmmmm….

Try my version as that is based on all the guides for doing this for wordpress on apache servers. And it worked for me.

Make sure your new site is setup and validated with www in webmaster tools.

If you are redirecting from old site youre no longer using wordpress on old site, so there should not be any wordpress stuff still installed on old site.

Server should be doing redirect, not wordpress.

If using apache, try my code as it works.

Also note you should only be using one canonical format for new site..

Domain.com
Or
http://Www.domain.com

Not both. Both should work if typed in, but only one should resolve. So do your psges resolve to www version, or non www version… This also needs to match what you setup for new site in webmaster tools.

Check your categories menu for the slugs for each category… Note you also cant have category with same name as page or post

Tags widget part of wordpress… Good idea to explore the codex for seeing how all these basic fuctions of wordpress work.

Normally it will show most popular tags.

On one site we made up a sock puppet name in place of admin, for client. Not greatest solution either.

Ha… You know what i did on one site… I set the slider to not start for 60 seconds….

As long as you have proper canonical link tags in your meta data, and are using proper xml sitemaps, its not duplicate content.

Its like having menu on top and menu at bottom of page… You are not penalized for having two menus.

You can also use googles fetch tool to see what they see vis a vis the actual rendered page and not data that swaps based on viewport.

Right, well
your NEW domain has to work …
such as going to “mynewsite.com/story-1-2-3/”

the redirect put in place on OLD domain should be work like so

myoldsite.com/story-1-2-3 >>> mynewsite.com/story-1-2-3

What does the 301 redirect look like in your old site’s htaccess file?

There should be nothing else in that file except the redirect.

I think there is shortcode for that …

on your post, go to visual editor, then from tool bar to shortcode, then click on one of the drop cap items after you highlight the first letter of your paragraph….

this will drop in shortcode like so

[dropcap type="1"]N[/dropcap]

Right. Well … you have a long wait on that one 😉

Also, note that WordPress cannot “enlarge and crop to fit” images.

Try adding the free “Thumbnail Upscale” plugin, which is what we use.

If you want a simple solution, we’re playing with “Mashshare” to put the counter and FB/Twitter at top, and use the theme built in buttons at bottom.

sorry … normally yes, this past year (since Jan 2014) I have been 100% focused on saving my company, our news network, and various back-end upgrades for client stuff, which is just brain numbing. I sometimes have snippets of time here as I have one monitor doing something I can’t leave, and have to watch for pop-up to continue or confirm, and on my other display I can bug pals on FB, or check deals on Amazon, or watch a video, or pop in here to see whassup with the theme …
so – not like I just hang out here all day … I have little snippets of “hurry up and wait” while I can’t really focus on something.

And in fact, one thing done — NOW I need to go deal with Yandex validation, and setting up a randomized block of text for our home page to randomize the links to the blog page with helpful customer how-to articles … oboy!!! 🙂

(thanks for asking …)

I am recommending folks go back to Newsmag 1.6
as v1.7 seriously caused all sorts of problems for us on one site. Rolled back to 1.6 and working again.

Consider this as best option “right now” for your site to work properly, if it was working properly prior to 1.7 update.

Seriously.

No prob … “paying it forward….” 🙂

(ha… thought that might be too easy!)

You might try this

<?php echo $this->the_field('datum_feiertag'); ?>

I think there needs to be something there to say “get from this record” … vs just echoing the field unless the field applies to everything on the site.

That could be wrong… just a thought ….

I use ACF on one of my sites .. love it 🙂

I think you can exclude your custom category from big grid by putting in the filtering of -NN where NN is the custom category ID number. I do this with the 2 column slider on my state based news portal, where I don’t want “national” news to be featured at all, only local news.

You should revert back to 1.5, or request the 1.6 version zip from contact@tagdiv.com

and include your purchase code.

In my system, 1.7 has some SERIOUS issues and I don’t believe it should be used at all.

Tired of the stupid “stoplight” from Yoast SEO in your admin pages …

add this to functions.php with my/your other enhancements…

add_filter( 'wpseo_use_page_analysis', '__return_false' );

(also note I am now testing setting the jpeg compression factor to 45 vs 50; since from time to time Google insights keeps saying .. you could save 45 bytes or some ridiculous tiny amount on thumbnails … “45” vs “50” might do the trick there …. )

@zaone
Revert back to 1.6 for now. 1.7 has numerous issues and should not be used.

Just as an FYI,
the 1.7 version of theme was causing CPU spikes to go from our normal load of “0.9” to “1.1” up to “270.0” … (!) … considering our old server prior to Jan 2014 would have completely crashed at “60” — that’s pretty amazing in and of itself. But, server was pushing out “high load” warning emails hourly, and php status going from green to red every hour for a full day since switching on 1.7.

Going back to 1.6 immediately resolved that issue.

Normally I was skeptical of the whole “theme is crashing my server” issue, but this did in fact happen with us, and my server is about as hot-rodded and streamlined as currently possible with Linux/Apache/CentOS/Plesk-Parallels + mod_pagespeed and mod_SPDY, opcache and php optimizers; 8+ cores of XEON CPU and 32GB RAM (enterprise class server).

Still blown away server didn’t crash with “270” spikes, and email still worked, and other sites worked …. but normal server response overall also went from 0.3 seconds to 1.6 seconds and longer.

Obviously, you know there is an issue; but this is just anecdotal info for anybody else running into a WTF? moment.

Peace out 🙂

What some folks do is create an account in place of admin
like “Staff Editor” …
and then put one sentence like

Stories crafted by our editorial team.

and then make the soclal links all the main site’s own social links.

You will see this commonly done on a lot of sites to replace “admin” posts.

(you should not even have an account called “admin” btw; hopefully you renamed your “superuser” to something else!)
