Depends on the size of the site, etc.
Basically some sites you can just do the “export” tool and “import” to the new site and bingo it works.

Or, in other cases you have to move the dbase over to new server using phpmyadmin, then install the dbase on new server, then install WP and point wp-config.php at your new dbase; presumably copy over all your image folders via FTP, and do an export of your theme settings.

Anyway… DUPLICATOR works pretty well. I just did this for one site.

If both servers use same system (e.g., PLESK) — “site migration” much easier as it moves everything over including emails, passwords, folders, php settings, etc. — it’s a 1:1 snapshot.

Not normal to restrict access to wp-admin from your .htaccess unless you’re in a test setup and are using something like limited access to one IP for testing.

Likely you need to fix your .htaccess file setup. The theme doesn’t manage that or change it.

Do Google search for moving WordPress from one server to another.

Simplest way is using the beta “DUPLICATOR” plugin.

Or, if both servers using Parallels/Plesk or similar hosting platform, they actually have a “site migration” tool where one server FTPs the entire site to the other server. However, in that situation needs to be same type of hosting platform in most cases. Ask your hosting provider about “site migration.”

That’s because they are still working on it.
They don’t plan to release it on a “certain day,” but rather once it’s ready.

🙂

That would actually be a nice on/off option for future version …

a) use ajax search with thumbs
b) use ajax search no thumbs
c) use only normal search with no hinting (basic dumb search box)

🙂

Time to start looking for a new theme to save your business from imploding, methinks.

Use the YOAST SEO plugin to set custom elements for pages, categories, etc. Works very well, including for the home page/custom page.

Um, well. Themes don’t stop working unless WordPress changes radically, but that’s true of everything. PHP might change tomorrow and nothing would work. What if TagDiv was no longer around — would you drop your theme “right now.” No.

I still use many plugins from defunct orgs, themes from defunct companies, etc. If they work, who cares.

I have themes from 2009 that still work with WordPress 4.1 just fine. So, I just updated two sites recently after 6 years with new theme — I didn’t have to, I just wanted to. They could still sit there and serve traffic without “my business being in danger” … Why suppose this theme would suddenly stop working in a month or a year?

Still – obviously best to plan for the worst.

In any case, they do honor refund requests, thankfully, which is very cool. 🙂

Because it’s doing an ajax search with suggested results to choose from.
You might be able to turn that off, but I forget how.

I think there is a known issue with some blocks when you use the “zoom” function in some web browsers, but not all. I noticed this with one block when zoom was at 95% for some oddball reason in Chrome on my MacBook pro.

Also working on rescuing my music magazine site, which went online 10 years ago (!).
http://musewire.com

It was very much neglected the past 2 years for various reasons. Coming back from zombie land using Newsmag!

just pulled off a massively tricky domain name change for a WordPress site; changing the domain from MusicIndustryNewswire-dot-com to MuseWire-dotcom … that was a major pain in the butt!

Still working on logo sizes, and other clean up. Really a pain to do search/replaces for 10 years worth of a site name within the content an excerpts! (say hello to phpmyadmin, my little friend….) 🙂

If the theme didn’t support Visual Composer I would just leave it at the final version. Just because there is an update doesn’t mean you have to use it.

One of my top websites has been running the same version of Woo Canvas for 2 years. The updates to the theme didn’t add anything I needed, so there was no burning need to upgrade it. Site works, has an audience, no need to keep updating every little thing unless it’s a security issue.

New color paint comes out for my house; I don’t need to repaint it.

v5 isn’t going to break v4 … it won’t stop working … your site isn’t going to explode and lose all your content.

In the webdev community we refer to this as “freezing” a site once it works. Much like in our music studio, when the system works, we “freeze” it — we don’t install every little software patch and driver which might break something. Same idea.

Upshot: if your site works, use it. Concentrate on making it work NOW, and then work on the content. Waiting for some new version of the theme to fix your site and do something beyond the version you purchased isn’t very productive. It works great “right now” …

Sorry. Just an opinion. Your mileage may vary, of course.

The current version supports RTL, which you have right now and is what you purchased.

A new version of theme from ground up doesn’t require any features to be carried over, nor are you obligated to use a new version of theme. When Ford comes out with a new car and adds a different engine, your existing car doesn’t get the new engine, nor are you obligated to stop using the car you have.

“Unfair and illegal” activity is a ridiculous statement.

Just an opinion.

Awesome!

I am still working on my first install of WooCommerce (after 20 years of doing ecommerce sites). I had only been working with ONE service category so far that had 6 items in it, and had not yet populated other categories — I’ve been obsessing about custom messages via hooks in functions.php and iPad portrait mode layouts — but was wondering about this topic the other day myself due to fact once I populate other service categories the “main” parent category would end up doing the same thing when I’d want to see 12-20 items per page or more.

Thanks for sorting that out 🙂

Seems with WooCommerce almost everything gets put into the functions file.

You would think they would include one “example fuctions” file someplace where you could copy out the stuff without having to look all over the place online or decipher their docs.

Thanks for that! I just updated my functions with your code.

1. Go to wp admin, posts, categories
… Change names, add new ones, remove those unwanted
This is covered in wordpress docs … Codex.

2. When you make new post, you choose categories right side post page … In categories box.

3. Not sure which section?

I think a solution to this was just posted a day or two back in the newsmag forum, which should work the same over here.

I did not know how to do this either and a good solution was posted …

This is usually an issue with php memory limit as of WP 4.0, or if you’re uploading an image with a post page open, WP has annoying habit of doing a draft save while you try to upload and you get http error. Also sometimes going to the media manager there is nothing there. Not theme related as I also have this issue with two other themes (e.g., Woo Canvas), and increasing PHP memory and upload size limit helped “most of the time” — and also doing a draft save manually before uploading an image, if uploading from post.

With media manager, also sometimes no matter what seems like I have to “drag” image second time. Annoying. This all started with WP 4.0 in our case.

You know, I was just looking for that.
There is *no* setting in latest WooCommerce (I just updated today), and there is not a setting in the theme panel I could find.

I am going to presume it’s using the default WordPress index setting from
WP > settings > reading ?

But don’t quote me on that 🙂

WordPress cannot create larger thumbnails than the size you upload.

So, you’d need to either
a) hack the template or use custom CSS to make the image in the template be
style="width:100%;height:auto"

b) use a plugin like Thumbnail Upscale which will create the larger image sizes for some of the templates than what you upload.

That is managed by WordPress — not by the theme. It’s possible some theme’s have been hacked to change that behavior, but WordPress always creates the author index based on the user ID (123) and/or the pretty name which is also the user name (johnsmith).

See the WordPress Codex to learn how WordPress functions.

This forum is not for basic WordPress functionality.

REF:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy

This is why it’s important for security to:
a) enforce strong passwords ALWAYS
b) disable ability to edit core files from WordPress panel
c) use tools like Limit Login Attempts, to stop people from sitting there guessing the password more than 4 times.

It’s not a simple subject, but if you wish to hack your install of WordPress — if you do some research you’ll run across past discussions of this here:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/assistance-changing-author-permalink-url

Hope that helped 🙂

I’ve ben “suffering” WordPress for 10 years now – welcome to the adventure!

There is separate box for header and footer logos.

Hi,
again; do *NOT* post questions here — post a NEW support topic for help with site optimization. This thread is for ME to post updated help on how to do this stuff.

@elteliblejvi
you cannot optimize anything being loaded from other sites than your own.

TIP:

a) switch to default theme, e.g., twenty-fourteen

b) insert JetPack widget in sidebar

c) configure JetPack with all your info for the newsletter settings (from link to docs above)

d) make sure the subscription plugin is working

Once it’s working properly, *then* switch to this theme, and ensure it still works.

They plan to add that in version 5, I believe.

Yes, you can get a widget using a plugin, or using one from Twitter.
You would put in your API stuff in the widget you’re using.
