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.

You would need to likely setup custom functions in your functions.php file – this has nothing to do with the theme. The user fields are built in to WordPress — so, you probably want to research this on the WordPress.org “codex” (documentation). Or simply Google “how to remove wordpress user fields…”

1) clear your cache; if using local cache or a CDN
2) make sure you cleared cache prior to uploading new theme; make sure you updated theme by removing old folder and uploading new theme folder vs “over writing”
3) make sure you fully clear your browser cache to make sure you’re seeing the new style sheets if you did (1) and (2) properly
4) sometimes the widgets reset, and you’d need to redo the widget/sidebar for homepage
5) any changes you made to templates, style.css, functions.php. need to be redone as they are lost on upgrade

Firefox generally has many issues. We’re running into various issues with FF on different themes, sites, etc. — everything perfect in every platform, OS, mobile device … *except* Firefox. So, I often suspect that browser as being less than perfect these days. However, I’m sure Lucian or one of the other support techs will be able to give you better answer when they get back in (closed weekends). Likely a simple CSS addition to the custom CSS panel might work.

Good idea to visit and explore all the settings panels in the main WordPress “settings” section as these control the main WordPress install – the theme is just the icing on the cake, but you still need to check the other ingredients. The documentation on the WordPress site is super helpful in explaining what each section of the settings panel is actually for, and good thing to bookmark:

I’m not likely the best source of help on this at the moment, as I just installed my first instance of WooCommerce yesterday; still figuring it out 🙂

<LOL> Welcome to the world of Google’s slight time space warp field … (where nothing can escape, not even light … ) 😉

been there …
with yoast I ran into trouble with two items
1) force transport (e.g,. http vs https) = leave off
2) remove stop words; caused some pages to 404 randomly

likely you should try temporarily switching to the default twenty-fourteen theme and turn off all plugins to see if you have the issue … then turn each plugin on, check to see which one causing issue; then when debugged, switch main theme back on.

Weird… Im not having that issue.

Sounds dumb but try changing the tag path to something else…
If using seo plugin check to see there is no setting on to not use tags and only use categories

@sunkast
presuming you’ve updated the theme and VC plugin since then? Updates have come out since 4.2.2 addressing several issues. Often you can check the changelog of the new version to see if it specifically fixes a bug/problem you’re experiencing.

View the page source to see if you can see the GA code actually on the page … if it’s on the page, it’s there. If it’s not right code, it won’t work.

Also forgot; there are number of widgets included WITH WooCommerce, which you could use to place into a sidebar on your home page.

Caching is usually the culprit in most things like that. Always good idea to disable all caching before doing updates otherwise you end up loading mix of old stuff and new stuff, as you likely discovered. We had the same issue while running mod_pagespeed, and I learned my lesson on that 🙂

This forum is for Newspaper theme, not Newses theme.

Best way to change to Google search for most themes is
a) use a plugin
2) edit the code for the module/includes element where the searxh box is located in the theme.

In case I didn’t include this previously:

In your WordPress Settings, you specify the WordPress address and the site address. Those are added in your database, and every time the developer calls it in the template, it is running a database query.

define('WP_HOME', 'http://www.wpsitez123.com'); 
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://www.wpsitez123.com'); 
define('TEMPLATEPATH', '/absolute/path/to/wp-content/themes/active-theme');
define('STYLESHEETPATH', '/absolute/path/to/wp-content/themes/active-theme');

By adding these in your wp-config.php, you are reducing the number of database queries thus increasing your site’s performance.

These settings are also useful if converting your website to “https” once you have SSL cert installed as WordPress can ‘soft-redirect’ any query for http://yourpage to https://yourpage; and it updates the WP Settings general page showing URL, and YOAST SEO picks this up for writing canonical links for https.

In case anybody is on to the more hard core optimization of WP.

Likely won’t address your issue but I also hard code my URLs to reduce dbase calls

Blog/Site Address

In your WordPress Settings, you specify the WordPress address and the site address. Those are added in your database, and every time the developer calls it in the template, it is running a database query. In WordPress 2.2, these two settings were introduced to override the database values without changing them:

define('WP_HOME', 'http://sub.wpsitez123.com'); 
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://sub.wpsitez123.com'); 
define('TEMPLATEPATH', '/absolute/path/to/wp-content/themes/active-theme');
define('STYLESHEETPATH', '/absolute/path/to/wp-content/themes/active-theme');

By adding these in your wp-config.php, you are reducing the number of database queries thus increasing your site’s performance.

Try resaving your permalinks

Maybe add the server paths to root folder in wp-config.php

Yes, I see that in the lightbox popup also; looks like high ascii characters not getting encoded for HTML:

Oops – forgot links

I’m actually going to be using/buying a number of things for our install.

simchris
tagDiv Member

I think there are some commercial widgets to do that; I have been looking at them this past week as we’re installing WooCommerce tomorrow (Sat.) on one site.

I’d look first at the sometimes pricey, sometimes free, extensions on the Woo website, and also on codecanyon for anything with good review, sometimes cheaper. There are lots of widgets for things like adding shopping cart to various places, adding content elements to various places, etc.

SOrry I don’t have specific recommendation at the moment … installing my copy tomorrow 🙂 First time I’ve used WooCommerce.

simchris
tagDiv Member

Yup. I don’t work here. You will have to wait for tech support to help with that kind of an issue, as I don’t have that problem. 🙂

simchris
tagDiv Member

Simplest way is to ASCII encode your captions with the characters, but it could be bug in the encoding for the lightbox, which Marius or Lucian will address once they are back for support duties 🙂

You can add favicon by either uploading to the root of your domain and most browsers will look for it there; or use the function in the theme admin panel:

theme panel > header > logo

FAVICON
Upload a favicon image (16 x 16px) .png

Dude! (as we say here in California) … thanks for building this. I haven’t tried it yet, but keeping eye on it. as you know I built something similar for our in-house CMS, and had planned to move that over to a WP plugin, and very cool you did the hard work for me 😉 Will check it once I get our ecommerce system working with mod_SPDY and Firefox (we got SPDY working properly, but then it breaks our ecom system [cubecart], but ONLY in stupid Firefox… ).

Great job!! 🙂
