Nope. This would require a more complex dbase query to remove current page from the loop, and you would have to do that for every page.
This would be terribly process intensive.

Which is why you rarely see that on any website.
At least that has bedn my experience.

Please correct me, if this is doable…

Sorry my answer wasn’t very clear … was on my iPad 😉

You can actually make it pretty big unless you’re trying to do the version with the advertising next to it ….

I do mine fairly big, but it’s centered with no ads on either side.

Try different web browser on iphone …
also try using the WordPress iOS app.

Make sure you were not trying to do that while your phone was updating to ios 8.2 which was a bug fix. If your phone is updating in background, kind of wonky trying to post stuff online 🙂

The theme will show author image at bottom automatically if you use a gravatar account email for each user …

or, you can use the plugin I recommend in my “optimization” sticky topic 🙂

love your ‘tags’ style in the footer 🙂

You can see my “BETA” site usage of that here:

Any changes you made to the original theme files will be over-written regardless, so you should keep track of those.

When you update theme, most settings for theme are retained due to WordPress “transient” settings. Usually the only thing that sometimes gets “munched” is a couple of sidebar settings, that you can resave. Also you often need to go to your home page and just “save” it again.

You can also “export” your theme settings from the theme panel at bottom, which is good habit to get into 🙂

You can try limiting the number of queries per page, or get a better hosting provider?

Sadly, Visual Composer *does* use a lot of system resources as it’s a GUI to enable custom site layouts — so it’s like another application running on TOP of WordPress, which runs on top of php, which runs on the server.

You can also disable the visual composer CSS from loading on post pages where it’s not normally used (see my optimization sticky for the code to add to your functions.php file).

You can also simplify the category/archive pages to not use fancy Visual Composer blocks by default and simply show list of stories, etc.

Sadly this is an ongoing issue with Visual Composer, and not directly theme related.

Ideally one should be able to customize site then turn OFF Visual Composer, but keep the CSS in place to render the layouts.

Stay connected is a “widget” based on the plugin included with theme (social counter) — did you
a) install and activate plugin
b) bother to look at the appearance > widgets ?
c) read the theme docs (link right side this page)?

Best help is always helping yourself 🙂

try lowercase .. stupid as it sounds,
make sure no space after ID

possible twitter has your IP blocked or some other bizarre thing…

double check the page source on the actual page to make sure the right code is actually showing in the HTML source …

likely a conflict with jetpack or one of the many many plugins you’re running….

you might need to turn them off to see which one is conflicting ….

Yeah. I have that issue notably with Internet Explorer; less so with Chrome on Windows 7/64.

The trick I’ve found with that is to do ‘save’ on right side to update, then try again, and if it spins, hit save. Then if it shows up, then go to edit.

Stupid I know. Went through this same issue over the weekend with migrating site to Newsmag from Woo Canvas. Basically it’s the Visual Composer uses a bit of memory, and since it’s all ajax based and uses WP “transient” settings, seems like browser runs out of something.

And I’m on a Mac Pro with 32GB of RAM, running Windows in 64 bit – what memory am I running out of ? 🙂

So try this:
1) clear your browser temp files/cache.
2) try the “save” button right side before doing ANYTHING.
3) if it spins and spins, try save changes; then if it drops into the slot in the preview, then click the pencil icon to EDIT it once it’s there.

Stupid, I know … but that’s how I got it done! 🙂

You need to use proper html… Either target=”blank or new”
… If you use the links item in the format box, you can set link to open in new window.

Google target element in anchor links if new to html.

Or you can also try the external links plugin.

Be sure to re-generate your thumbnails so they are smaller once you’ve added the code to your htaccess … if you’re using gravatars for author images, be sure to use my tip for that. Use my other tips to minify your style.css file. Etc.

You don’t need to add the wp-config.php code … it can help along with removing all the comments. if you don’t know what you’re doing, best to leave that unless you’ve done everything else.

Basically the code does two things

1) removing comments makes the file load faster by cutting in half
2) adding the “actual” URL to bottom of your wo-config.php file means you’re saving a “lookup” for that all the time. Don’t do the “expert” items unless you know what they are for. 🙂

For twitter just put in your @name without the @

works for me on all sites with no issues.

Try setting up your site with YOAST SEO plugin to ensure you have the correct open graph tags for Facebook and Twitter.

As much of a pain as it might be, try this method … as it DOES work, unless there is something funky going on with files.

Best to do everything via FTP vs the theme panel for updates!

Yep, just put articles in a category, and then exclude that category number from the blocks you create for the home page.

Using the theme builder takes some experimentation.

You also need to set your custom page as the homepage from the general/reading tab in your WP admin (see the theme docs for how to do that).

Did you fully delete the old js_composer plugin folder before installing the new one?

That is most common problem, along with not clearing any caching you’re using on the server after switching on / off the plugin.

You will have to experiment with the format you want — note the link to docs in your WP admin panel on the time setting page 😉

I use the responsive code on my sites. I think it says 2014 responsive version; and reminds me I need to double check if they have updated that.

Example:

<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
<!-- 2014-Responsive -->
<ins class="adsbygoogle"
style="display:block"
data-ad-client="ca-pub-xxxxx"
data-ad-slot="xxxx"
data-ad-format="auto"></ins>
<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>

🙂

Often this is from either
a) not enough memory allocated to PHP for your domain; which I recommend 256MB or higher. Some hosts default that to as little as 16MB.

b) sometimes as of WP 4.0, the WP system cannot affix an image while it’s doing a soft backup of the story (a draft backup); often you can do “save draft” then add the image.

c) check you can actually just upload things to the media manager at all, separate from placing them in to a post while live editing.
