The plugin works; you might need to disable other plugins; turn off your caching, make sure your image folder is writable; make sure images not being loaded off CDN where I don’t know if the plugin works for that.

It does work, as I’ve used it dozens of times on dozen websites with different themes. The above issues would be only reason for the problem.

Also see the docs for the plugin. Perhaps re-upload the plugin manually via FTP if you did install via the wordpress panel.

Seems like there should be some kind of plugin out there to automatically put in a short description in the excerpt box for video posts, even if it just repeats the post title ?

In my case we only had a few posts like that which was solved by actually putting something in the excerpt box on the post pages.

Hmmmm… that is weird. Our site works perfectly in portrait and landscape on the iPhone 6, which I tested the day I got mine, out of paranoia (see: http://advertisingindustrynewswire.com — not self promoting here!).

In my case, the logo is a little funky top right in the landscape view on the iPhone 6, but that’s because I’m intentionally re-using logo from old site layout while playing with the theme setup, but not a problem.

One thing to double check is the advertisements settings
1) try using the latest non-beta “fully responsive” code from AdWords
2) if using older code, make sure you change the “sizes” for phones and disable the header advert for phones
3) if inserting ads inside stories, make sure they are not colliding with other images or things like long non-breaking words.

Experiment with that.

Might not be the issue, but just some feedback.

Hi
yeah. The only reason to use a child theme is if you plan on hacking things and don’t want to re-hack them on theme updates, which I actually prefer to do.

If you look at the theme activation page, you would only be running the “child” theme if you expressly activated it. If you didn’t do that and are running the “parent” theme, then this has no impact on what you’re doing at all.

Meaning, the child theme doesn’t work automatically, only if you expressly activate it from the WP theme panel. If you’re not using it, you could delete it, but if you ARE using it, you would want to switch back to main (parent) theme before deleting it.

For info on what child themes are all about, the WP codex/docs
http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

Might be. But of course the theme works perfectly with that plugin. So, it would likely be another plugin conflicting. This is also more common with child themes since the CSS is being “redirected” to the parent. Which is why I stopped using child themes couple of years back. Annoying as heck.

You could obviously try disabling the plugins then reactivate them one by one, to see what is doing what.

There are also a couple of good plugins you can run to see which of the plugins is using the most resources or slowing things down (I posed this couple of times this month, not sure – you’d have to search for that … if this were my forum I would probably add a list of “useful plugins for running a WP site….”).

Yes, look at your page source on a post page (do “view source” from your web browser), scroll down to find the logo element, which is above the search box section. Look at the div class right above the “container” for your logo. Find the class name, which probably has ‘logo’ in it. In my case it was td-full-logo; you need to obviously use the CSS class for the layout you’re using.

Looks correct to me, guess not seeing the problem.

Tech support folk will be back tonight/Monday.

You have to do this with custom CSS … basically add more padding or margin to the div element the logo resides in, or the class being used for the logo specifically on the desktop view.

I just had to do this myself actually… (look at your page source, find the logo, then look at the div above the container:

In my case using full width logo (add this to custom css panel in the theme panel):
.td-full-logo{padding-top:9px;padding-bottom:12px !important}

Yeah… (hey, I’m blond!)
… that’s a time out error. Either due to page loading too slowly or an issue with DNS not being able to resolve the page properly (server overload, routing issue for DNS resolution, etc.).

I had that happen when we first turned on mod_pagespeed with a bad setting, and the pages were taking 14 seconds to load or bottom half of page wouldn’t load due to a bad “lazy loading” setting (!).

Try loading/testing the page in GTMetrix.com instead, as it can often give you better “what is wrong” info versus just telling you something didn’t work.

Likely a bad setting in the Speed Booster Pack. Try disabling that and revisit your site.

If you’re loading the slider with content from another site, it might be timing out.

Check your home page in Chrome developer tools (F12), or Firebug in Firefox (etc.) to see what errors are being generated.

Check the page source of your home page to look at the code for the slider “on the page.”

If this happened “suddenly” – check for any plugins you’ve updated.

You can edit the style.css to remove @media views you don’t want to use. If you don’t know what you’re doing you can quickly mess that up, however, since the menus are designed to change based on viewport, so it’s a bit tricky.

Screen shot showing the desktop tab might be helpful.

Perhaps it’s due to the insights bot timing out trying to read the page.

What error message is it giving you?

Yeah, we had run into that when using AddThis plugin to put the share buttons at both top AND bottom of the post, and Disqus seemed to conflict with that …. changed the AddThis to just one location, and got latest Disqus update. Seems to be okay.

Weird!

I was having freezing on one of our sites running Disqus, and was particularly bad in IE11/Win7-64. Could not figure out if it was Disqus or AddThis plugin; but between those two and the Google ads — something kept causing page to just lock- like permanent wait for something to load …. “the page … has stopped working ….” (!).

And this was NOT using the Newspaper theme btw — (Canvas).

Note that both Disqus and Addthis have put out a WHOLE BUNCH of updates the past month (dot revisions) due to various problems.

This might not be related to your issue, but it’s the only thing we’ve been able to find as it only impacts the sites using those plugins, and the other sites NOT using those (running Newspaper theme or Canvas) have zero such issues.

Very annoying. In our case we ruled out anything theme related, so you may want to keep an eye on those plugins as there *is* something funky going on, and it’s not just you !

Luckily most theme developers show demo sites for people to view what a theme can do prior to purchase, hence no surprises.

They probably should swap that to the top and the import demo content to the bottom, since the demo content really only useful for somebody with blank new website project, in my opinion 🙂

Make sure the images are actually there? If you paste the image link into a browser does the image come up? Obviously it cannot create thumbnails from images which are linked to from your posts, but are not on the server.

You obviously also want to disable any caching or systems like mod_pagespeed before doing the regen, in case there is some system in place loading cached images in your posts.

Hope that helped!

You choose a preset “style” from the theme admin panel main page at bottom “import styles….”

Hmmm…. likely you could make a new “category” that doesn’t conflict with the page name, then delete old category and redirect to the new category (WP gives you option when deleting category to point at a replacement category, if memory serves — might be a plugin for that I’m thinking of …); then try deleting the page, then create a NEW page.

Likely also running WP-Optimize after doing backup might help, and perhaps using the built-in WP repair dbase function I think you can do by adding a line to your wp-config.php file if memory serves (sorry, been down these roads a few times the past 9 years, but some of it rusty in my fragile little mind …) 🙂

It can take awhile to sync. It will also fail sometimes due to FB API being overloaded or times out or if your IP is blocked for some reason from their system. You can use their debugger tool to check one of your post pages to see if you have a conflicting element, also.

Yes; useful to read the changelog which comes with each theme update in the main big folder to see what’s new.

The custom typography options work great over here, so you likely need to clear your browser cache, and make sure you deleted old theme before uploading NEW copy of theme so you don’t have mix of old and new files, which can cause hiccups.

Not sure that helped…. but there you are.

Likely an issue for Visual Composer tech support as changing the plugin to something else might void the license, and isn’t really theme related.

You might want to contact them or check their forums regarding whether the plugin can be renamed without breaking (I doubt it). I’m sure it “looks for itself by name” for legal reasons since it’s a paid plugin and not an open source project.

Additionally you’d need to hack this WordPress theme in order to somehow work with the plugin, and that might require your developer to “hack” more than you want to.

But I’m sure Lucian or Marius will have better answer.

Switch to default twenty-fourteen theme, check to see if issue still there.

Permalinks are not managed by the theme in any way; but by WordPress.

Issue will always be either
a) permalinks not written to the htaccess file – or can’t write to file (it should tell you this in the WP screen when trying to update them) — you might want to look at your .htaccess file to make sure it has everything it’s supposed to from WordPress
B) caching of old permalinks when you try to go to a page containing a link to the old page
c) some kind of “optimization” plugin which is messing with the links — this is VERY common with thing like YOAST SEO where they have option to “remove stop words” and that can cause issues (in my own experience)
d) some “slugs” for file name (“page” or “post”) or categories on certain servers are disallowed for php … I ran into this couple of years back being unable to “write” a certain page no matter what — the URL contained some mix of a word string somehow used by server and could not be parsed.

Did you try changing the slug for your “bad” page ?

We’re running PHP Version 5.4.22 on our server and have been using Newspaper the past year without any issues related to PHP. Also running one site with Newspaper with https with zero issues.

It sounds more like a system setup issue on the backend as far as resources, memory allocation, caching, or possible DNS issue; and not the PHP “version” itself being the issue with the theme/WordPress.

While not common in the past, if you’re using one of the tricky *new* setups with SSL and a shared IP, that can cause some intermittent things vs dedicated IP address.

Seems like you should have the overall system checked, as not being able to access your WordPress login is generally a sign something more notable is wrong.
