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.

Note wordpress cannot enlarge images, so you either need to upload image at least as big as the template, or use the thumbnail upscale plugin.

If that wasnt the problem, apologies.

There is a box in the theme admin panel at bottom, to put in your GA code 🙂

@Cleovane Soares da Silva
first, this is not the right topic.
PLEASE post a new topic for questions, NOT in this thread related to my optimization tips.

I seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding on the syntax for these woo classes … sheesh. I cannot seem to get this to be slightly larger, e.g. 16px:

<div class="wc-proceed-to-checkout">
a href="https://www.MYSITEINPROGRESS.zzz/store/checkout/" class="checkout-button button alt wc-forward">Proceed to Checkout /a
</div>

THanks for your help.
Proof once again I’m not as smart as I think I am 🙂

General note:
with a very high traffic site, you should consider not using any “hit counter” which has to query/write to dbase every page load/refresh. It’s better, in our experience with one of our sites with large traffic, to use local hosted stats on server side (e.g., Webtrends, Piwik, or similar), or google analytics, or similar.

This is also why most hosting companies now ban “wp-postviews” plugin for same reason.

HI, Lucian
okay here are two screen shots … note I’m using iPad Air, which has “retina” screen, so would apply to all “modern” iPads (v3, v4, air, air 2). I know it works a little different than simply dragging in side of browser, as that was throwing me too for testing — hence why I always check stuff on the pesky little devil 🙂

okay screen shot 1 shows the way the add coupon and update cart fall kind of funky with the latest iteration of WooCommerce, due to their finally somewhat standardizing their darn buttons. Now everybody’s corrections for that kind of need to be undone.

So:

temp - ipad portrait woocomm cart view

Seems like I also need to apply the same button 18px fix for the ‘proceed to checkout’ so that’s it’s CLEAR what to do NEXT.

————-
and this is the other thing I want to change to some kind of image icon — or something which is better, even if it’s just a 8 pixel solid color line on left side (e.g., | vs box)

temp - INFO icon change

I guess I can edit this in the style.css … but am “suggesting” some kind of (i) or [i] for info glypicon or something that is not so bland — a box that looks like it could be a checkbox, or something doesn’t scream (INFO!).

So, probably easiest thing is
a) how to REMOVE the little box which I think you did purely with CSS box/border in the style, to be “before” the “info” text element from woo.
b) add font awesome icon span to CSS style sheet — and I can load fontawesome fonts — or, if you have something better in your built-in glyph font (the one used for search spyglass, etc.) that we could insert into that slot in the style.css – that would be awesome (as we still say in California!). 🙂

THANK YOU!

That would be cool 🙂

In your web browser you can “view source” to see the actual HTML being loaded by the web browser. This shows you what is actually on your post page, such as the META data inside the HEAD tags at top of each post … this shows you whether you actually have the missing OG tags or not.

OG open graph tags are needed by Facebook to pull the description properly.

Or, simply turn off all your plugins except for Visual Composer and Yoast, and see if the issue remains.

simchris

Are you using Yoast SEO or similar to embed the author data into the HEAD area of each post? Check to see that is actually there by doing “view source.” Just make sure you have valid author meta tag in the body for now. I think the theme puts it in there regardless, but double check.

For microformats, know that Google’s issue on the above is a little behind; even that link doesn’t work 😉

The nextgen methodology is microformat2 where the hcard data will be part of the class structure, vs separate span tags and such.

See: http://microformats.org/

from above, old format
With classic microformats – WHAT GOOGLE’S OLD THING LOOKING FOR:
<span class="vcard"><a href="http://waterpigs.co.uk">Barnaby Walters</a></span>

NEW SCHEMA:
a class="h-card" href="http://waterpigs.co.uk">Barnaby Walters /a

In other words, presumably Radu and co will be looking at the new schema for Newspaper 5.0, and that will represent the “new think” on microformats.

All of that may not be the answer to your specific query, but anecdotal and informational for anybody searching this topic.

You may need to ask your hosting provider to increase the php file upload limit, which is usual cause of this issue.

simchris

Might be an ajax issue (try clearing browser cache/temp file); or could be conflict in loading more than one version of jquery. Some plugins now have option to turn off loading jquery *again* if already being loaded by theme and/or WP-admin panel.

Some plugins don’t play nice with visual composer, also, it seems.

simchris

I agree, I find this annoying, even though I do get that it’s a “feature” … would love a on click ON/OFF for this feature myself.

In our case with media upload oddities, it’s not theme related by fully WP related. I’ve seen this happen with various themes, post WP 4.0 when the oddities with media upload started. Sometimes media thing is empty, and I have to toggle back and then to media again. Almost like the browser is “timing out” on all the stupid ajax crap in the WP admin panel now.

And we have 12 core XEON server with 32GB RAM.

Clearing the web browser cache has also helped, especially on Win7/64 with IE11 if the temp folder is full for browser.

sorry, it’s actually wp-config.php

Modify autosave interval.

I was able to upgrade from 1.4 to 1.6, and also am using the older version of the counter (3.2), and all seems to be working. 🙂

@sundial
You have images in your RSS feed, such as this:
https://thedailysundial.camayak.com/media/f173e1cf-8e7f-4c7d-b726-7b6a29098172/1ea00224-a218-4273-8770-f280856a4f44.jpg?thumbnail=true

Those break in the feed, and if pasted into web browser, ask for login/password.

Also be aware, Google hasn’t really updated Feedburner in years, and may or may not survive their next big purge. We still use it for daily emails for some subscribers, but you will also find numerous issues with your feed as so:

http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2Fdailysundial

Using your built-in feed and customizing that by building a custom RSS feed, is often a better solution until Google decides what they intend to do with their “orphan” Feedburner.

Also be aware anything with https is kind of funky in RSS feeds, also (enclosures with https images will very often set off a validation error!).

Feedburner feeds have nothing to do with the theme, as the theme does nothing to modify the main RSS feeds from WordPress, AFAIK.

Check your page source to see if you actually have duplicate info; and then make sure you don’t have a second plugin (like from JetPack, or your hosting service, if they are a WordPress speedup service that alters code) running.

Looking at your page source, you can often *see* where the duplicate META data is, and possibly determine WHAT is adding it — for example Yoast “wraps” their output to show what their plugin is adding to your HEAD area on a post.

THis might not be your issue/solution, however:
I do occasionally have issues with drag and drop uploading, which seems (in my attempt to debug this issue) to happen when the WP system does an “auto save” while trying to upload a media file with post open.

Meaning, the WP panel cannot upload a media file same time it’s making a “draft save” of an open post.

We changed the default update time in functions.php which seemed to help with that random “error” when adding files to the media manager.

For us, this happened post WP 4.0 and randomly ever since.

Hi! Thanks, Marius
I’ve been getting education on using the hooks to add custom text in the functions.php file vs hacking the WooCommerce theme, so this is my first (!) WooCommerce install, which is hard to believe after all these years, but there you are.

THANK YOU for the button alt code; that was tricky … didn’t get the syntax on that. I’ll update on that.

Figure the breadcrumbs were in-built as I did look at the woocommerce.php file in the theme folder, and went “ahhhhhh soooo.”

The only other minor quibble I have at moment (once I test button fix), is that in iPad portrait mode, on the cart view, the coupon button and update cart spacing got a little wonky due to the changes to WooCommerce — which I think they have now “stabilized” to the next generation (meaning 2015 code vs 2010 code on a lot of stuff!).

I will need to make screen cap of the iPad on this particular issue of the viewport spacing for iPad portrait, as that is the “tricky” one.

For changing the “icon” in the “info” boxes on payment pages, it looks like I need to edit the CSS to change the box you’re making with CSS, and insert a font awesome icon or something there.

You need to use a plugin like Yoast SEO to add the OG tags for Twitter and Facebook.

Hi,
technically “article” is fine and the wrapper also identifies where the text lives for things like Apple’s reader function on iPad/iOS.

Also technically, “NewsArticle” was originally designed for PRINT publications and the ability to line up the print page number with the digital element.

That’s why when you look at the actual schema, much of it relates to a “thing” which is the print edition of a magazine article:
http://schema.org/NewsArticle

You would need to, at very least, edit the style.css file to remove the @media calls for the mobile devices sizes.

This is a responsive theme, so not really easy to remove the framework under which it was created and marketed.
