Yes… it can take 4-24 hours.

Basically to choose the stories you want, you can’t use “most popular” module as that sets the posts based on how many times they’ve been read.

You need to create a new category like “Editor’s Picks” then choose five stories and on the post page FOR EACH STORY you want to be in that new category, check box for “Editors Picks” category; then on front page create a new content block and name it “editors picks” and choose the editors picks category to load stories from. Viola! You can name the category whatever you want. I did one the other day “from the vault” …. but I like “editor’s picks” myself. Basically you’re creating a second ‘featured’ category, technically.

It might be a caching issue. When you update your permalink structure, this should update links on home pages, other indexes, etc. as those are all queries to the dbase, so should show correct links unless the pages/home page is cached. Not sure if that helps, but this happened to me and it was caching issue.

This one works for me …

FileZilla is an FTP tool. If that is not working, there might be something wrong with your settings if you need to use a different FTP tool. Uploading plugins to your wp-content/plugins folder should not impact any other plugins. You should likely check *ownership* permissions of all your WordPress directories via your filamanager in your hosting account to whether something might be “owned” by Apache vs the “FTP user” account. This can be fixed by having your hosting provider change those via command line to fix it.

Nesru,
Probably a good idea to refresh yourself on what files are part of WordPress and not part of themes – will help avoid confusion down the road 🙂

We had similar issues on one of our sites running Woo Canvas, and basically stopped using WPtouch as it’s *not* designed to work with responsive themes due to “conflicting” CSS for mobile devices being loaded twice.

WP Touch is *NOT* recommended for use with themes already setup for mobile/responsive unless you plan to hack the theme, which defeats the purpose.

Yes! I do this …. you need to edit the file

theme > includes > wp_booster > td_page_views.php

static $post_view_counter_key = 'views';

Only downside is you have to remember to do that with each theme update.

You cant without editing the style.css to remove the mobile size media queries… This is a responsive theme designed so that separate mobile plugin not needed … That is purpose of responsive themes.

You can search forum for others who have asked same question.

Tech support back tomorrow, too.

Check error log to see if php overloaded, possibly due to rogue plugin.

Unless you’re looking to edit the theme files, it’s actually easier to use a plugin which gives you options for different buttons, and options for placement at top or bottom, or both. We use AddThis, for many sites. However one of the theme users made a plugin which you might be able to find from his post in this forum, maybe search for “social media plugin” or something.

HI …
sorry … my original post wasn’t related to your issue.

However, I *did* have your issue couple of versions back and it was entirely a caching issue. I’d forgotten to turn off mod_pagespeed *and* all caching prior to updating theme. And so both my version of WP and the theme version both had elements from OLD FILES loading from the new version in the browser, and so things were breaking or I’d get server 500 error.

So, I turned all caching stuff OFF, cleared that stuff, then uploaded both the WP update and the theme update, then worked first time out of the gate.

Might not apply to you, but caching is the main culprit with this stuff.

Try using the media uploader in WordPress directly. That is powered by WordPress and has nothing to do with the theme.

The issue I’ve found in not being able to upload from the post page at random times is due to the WP system doing a “draft save” and the system can’t do a draft save AND a media upload from post at same time.

Might not be related, but that was the bizarre thing that happened to me; and happens regardless of theme used, since WP 3.9.

There are two zip files on Themeforest;

one is the “all files” which has all of the docs, psd files, plugins. This “big zip” also has the Newspaper.zip file inside which needs to be unzipped.

The other zip file download on themeforest is just the theme.

You upload the theme folder “Newspaper” to your website/wp-content/themes folder.

If youre using the most popular 7 days module, the items shown are based on the most viewed items (popular)…. You dont choose them.

If you want to choose items in a module create an editors picks category, add posts to that cat, then pick a module and set posts to load from the picks cat.

The featured image cannot be “enlarged to fit” without using a plugin, like ‘thumbnail upscale.”

You can turn off byline on posts by unchecking “show” box in the post options for the theme panel as of 4.5. To change the “name” displayed, you set that on the user settings page in WordPress for each user/author.

BY “byline” I am assuming you refer to the “by line” which goes below the headline of a story and not the “author box”… which you can disable from the theme settings panel under post settings.

The theme doesn’t put share buttons above the byline, only below the story, as far as I know. If you’re using a plugin, it might be putting it there, and you can choose the settings in the plugin. You can turn the two types of social sharing buttons which come with the theme on/off from the theme panel under .. wait for it … post settings 🙂

Simplest way is likely some negative bottom margin as custom CSS for the div wrapping the advertisement.

Learn to write css and you can make all the changes you need, or hire someone to do it.

Hi,
I think I posted something in another post tonight about un-installing demo content.

One of the reasons I don’t personally use shortcodes as they tend to be theme-specific vs “generic” as you might find with bootstrap elements (which is why I use those or nothing!).

You might have to do a dbase search/replace to replace shortcodes, and there are some posts in the forum you would have to search for to find those, unless another kind soul chimes in here.

Regular tech support folk don’t work weekends …. so usually it’s us folk who pop in and comment based on our own past experience who help out from time to time (I’m waiting for a scan of my system checking for malware … hence sitting here doing nothing …)

Hope some of that helped (likely not).

Hi,
I think you have to comment out the date element on the module files you’re using for the home page; which requires editing the template files for the theme.

For the buttons, I think you can go to theme settings > posts and choose whether to show one type of buttons or the other from the two types. If that doesn’t work for you, simplest thing is to use a plugin like ADDTHIS, and that allows you to choose sizes, placement top/bottom or both, and the buttons you wish to use (we use it on several sites for many years now).

Hope that helped….

There is no automated way to do that as far as I know; generally the demo content is only intended to help set up a basic website to get it going and never used with an existing site/content.

Best way to delete stuff is go to “all posts” and delete the demo posts, if any are still there, go to posts > categories and delete any categories you don’t want; under wp > media; go in and delete all images you don’t wish to use.

I might suggest using ‘wp-optimize’ plugin to optimize dbase after that.

Hope that helped!

bump doesn’t do anything … except hurt your skull from banging against the wall.

URLs are not managed by the theme; they are managed by WordPress and the “permalink” settings you setup in the WP options panel (not theme panel). If you have a corrupted dbase due to a bad post name, you may need to use a dbase fix tool, or edit that element from phpmyadmin in your web hosting account.

Wordpress docs on using permalinks: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks

If the post URL “slug” you’re using for that single post doesn’t work, it implies there is something like a bad extended ascii character that isn’t being converted … sharing that post title might be helpful, or the “slug” that you’re using for that post page. Maybe try changing the “slug” for the post you’re creating?

Comments options on posts are managed from the main wordpress settings under discussion …

BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well….
1) make sure your folder has writable permissions (like 755)
2) make sure you upload the correct folder – obviously you just want the theme folder, and NOT the big archive with all the docs, psd files, plugins, etc.
3) make sure you have enough space on your hosting account
4) try simply creating a folder called Newspaper in the wp-content/themes folder via FTP — if you can’t do that then it’s definitely a permissions issue

Likely a permission issue where WordPress doesn’t have permissions to create that directory. Best bet is to upload the theme manually to the wp-content/themes folder.
