I thought the theme works on a modified/custom version of Bootstrap 3. However worth noting that BS3 is not compatible with Internet Explorer prior to IE9 at all, which is why some still use 2.3x (which we do on our business site actually, so the large existing userbase on WinXP can still see the pages at all vs a mangled list of bullet lists).

So, keep that in mind; some people do want compatibility with IE6,7,8, which BS3 has ZERO support for.

And of course remember the theme is not built on the “full everything on” version of Bootstrap but custom version which anybody can build out based on choosing components at the dev portal.

That might not help, just food for thought on this topic.

One way to “guess” the version is to look at the td-bootstrap.css file and look for any of the styles unique to BS3 such as for tables, the semantic changes to button classes, etc.

Also, as noted the other day, Google has completely retired rel=author, so those still following that aspect of this thread can consider that topic completely and forever closed as the rel=author tag for Google no longer is relevant to anything Google does.

Well, you can simply click the checkbox on a post when creating or editing each post; it’s built in to WP for many years. No need for a plugin unless you need to “bulk” turn off comments in the past.

Anecdotal: I had same issue with light box on my main business site (not running WordPress). We worked hard to explicitly conform everything to the validator back in 2011, but now with the CSS3/HTML5 stuff the validator throws a LOT of errors, hence why the HTML5 validator is labeled “experimental.” It tells me my light box pop up code isn’t supported in HTML5, and yet it works and is correct for CSS3/HTML5, but not CSS2. Soooo, even with correct doc types, etc., it gets confused on some stuff. It’s also a bit funky with mod_pagespeed elements. I got our main site to only throw 2 errors simply by changing couple of things (oh, like the old ASCII code for the trademark symbol should be the four number version not the old three number version, etc.).

That may not help, but Lucian can help sort it if he can see link to your website page.

Hi!
This is a built in function of WordPress.

You may find the official WordPress documentation a wealth of info on using WP.

Often you can do a Google search with something like
wordpress codex disable comments per post

anyway, here is the how to 🙂
http://codex.wordpress.org/Comments_in_WordPress

I keep a folder with copies of the files I hack each update so I can remember them at a glance, a text file with my additions to put at bottom of functions.php and note as to which section by line number x-x to remove; and a text file with cheat sheet of the search/replace for the style.css file. Not too painful. Kind of started when I had existing read/hit counter and needed to update the module to load the existing “field” vs the one used by Newspaper for hit counting. Then it was uncommenting the author byline each time in the main post file. Then it was the custom font loading. Well, there you are. As long as I have my local “cheats” folder, I can usually open two windows with both old stuff and new version of theme and then just top to bottom change stuff in new update folder, and then upload to server and it’s like nothing changed for the stuff I modified.

And, benefit is the style redirect issue that Google doesn’t like with child themes, and much easier to deal with any custom css over-rides as well as issues with tagdiv’s in house speedbooster plugin, etc.

At least this has been my experience 🙂

Also just a comment, but this method of click/tap to expand search is quickly becoming a standard on the web and specifically mobile devices.

You will see this on the YouTube site on mobile, TIME magazine on desktop and mobile, New York Times on desktop and mobile, NBCnews.com, hundreds more as they do revamp for mobile, often based on Bootstrap or similar grid/masonry layouts, etc.

I only mention this as a “trend” and the reason why Radu and co did it this way. It wasn’t a unique design choice, but the way things are going as folks move more to a “mobile first” layout (sigh).

Heh. Yeah, now you know why I don’t work with child themes any more!

I tested the font on my own site our of curiosity without using child theme and it works perfectly fine in IE. So, fyi, it’s not “the font” at issue with IE, but the child theme messing with the remote loading of the font.

So, luckily you got that sorted! 🙂

In Photoshop for my main images I generally start with a quality factor of 30, and a blur level of .2 … I then try going down to quality factor of 25 and sometimes blur of 0.22. And for some images I push it down to 20, and have gone down to 15 when I need to if the image supports it without looking too awful. When going to save for web, make sure “progressive” is chosen and NOT “optimized,” and don’t embed meta data or color profiles; only embed meta data such as copyright if really needed.

If the image has text, you will need a quality factor of 25 or more, or it may be illegible; if you have images with RED then you will generally need a quality factor of 52 in order to not get horrible artifacts due to the inherent flaw in mpeg/jpeg compression from last century.

I needed this also, and the example provided in the screenshots above worked first time out.

Basically you’re wrapping a span class for the button in the anchor link, vs using a shortcode for the button. The example does not use the shortcode which I think is where you’re getting hung up here.

Think of it this way, and this is not the explicit example from Lucian’s code, just simpler way of showing what is happening, while *not* using a shortcode. And be sure to do in text editor mode, not visual editor mode as you’re working with plain HTML/CSS.

<a href=""><span button class></span></a>

th = table header
tr = table row
td = table cell

You may want to do a search online for how CSS3 tables work.

Example:

table, th, td {
    border: 1px solid black;
 } 

Not sure, but the theme might support Bootstrap 3 common table styles like so:

class="table table-bordered"

ref: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#tables

Hope that helped 🙂

Yes, it’s useful to read the documentation which outlines bow to use W3cache with this theme, if you didn’t already review the thin how-to info:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/w3-total-cache-configuration/

FYI: be sure to select “UTF-8” and “HTML5/experimental” under the options when doing a W3C checkup.

I believe the main menu can be set as sticky from the admin panel.

Demanding support won’t help. Sometimes folks need to second guess what you’re asking, or research past answers. Or, nobody else has had the issue, and so it might be local problem.

Two things I’ve seen, which may not apply to your case
1) javascript caching corrupt in your web browser; try clearing cache for browser
2) make sure you have enough memory allocated to PHP/etc., which ideally should be 128MB and not the default 16MB on some cheap hosting companies
3) make sure no automatic updates run on your install, as that can crash your admin sessions if something being updated in background
4) 404 error implies “site went away” which is common with either PHP or MySQL being overloaded; check with your server ERROR LOGS as this will TELL YOU what caused the error.

Hope that helps. Perhaps not.

I have no issues with my sites running this theme with my iPhone and iPad with iOS7. Not really a help, but just thought I’d mention … I constantly test my sites to make sure they work, and never a “page not found” issue. It could as easily be somebody losing their data connection from their cellphone provider.

FYI, I’ve been running the theme and WordPress since Jan 1, with our new web server, which has this:

PHP Version5.4.22
MySQL Version50533

No trouble at all 🙂

Sigh. Me too 🙂

Ah, you’re using a child theme. I don’t use child themes due to these kinds of issues, because the css is basically a “redirect” to the main CSS, and Google ‘frowns” on CSS redirects even though WordPress loves them.

So, that might or might not be the issue. The style.css I was referring to is the “main” one in the main theme, not the child theme.

I no longer use child themes, to achieve better pagespeed, so I guess I’m out on any help for this one 🙂

You may want to try testing with http://gtmetrix.com/ as it will give you more specific info on images, and other things related to your score, as well as often create optimized image versions for you.

Most of the methods you’ve mentioned work for the majority of those with optimization issues.

I found it’s better to set the three sizes in the WP admin > media sizes to the three sizes you plan to use the most from the modules used by Newspaper.

The regenerate thumbnails plugin is not part of the theme, so likely good idea to review the documentation for that plugin before you use it; also download and backup all your images before you do anything, since you cannot “undo” using it on existing thumbnails. However it doesn’t touch your existing “main” uploaded image.

It should work in IE as I’m using IE right now, and I can go to the Google site and the fonts work.

So, likely you need to load them from your style.css file vs using the theme panel. Meaning get the CSS from the above link I provided, from the CSS link, grab the CSS, and put at bottom of your style.css file; edit the style.css file to change the headline or whatever to the font you want, then edit the functions file to remove calls to google fonts from there.

eg. the css file you need to copy FROM:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Quattrocento:400,700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

Kind of advanced, but that’s how I’m loading Open Sans and it works 100% of the time because Google provides the correct font for the platform.

Ideally, the point I was making for Marius is that you should be calling the Google version of the font in the theme, and the theme should be calling that from Google. It has nothing to do with “web safe” fonts, where the specific font would not be installed on a Windows PC.

Not sure that helps. But since you use that as your corporate ID font, it might be simpler to make the custom fix to ensure it always works, as I do with Open Sans.

FYI, Lucian, there is a Google font for this
https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Quattrocento

I don’t have that issue in either IE11/Win7-64 or Chrome/Win7-64.

Sometimes that happens from a really long URL which won’t word wrap.

The editor box for posts is not part of the theme, but managed by the WordPress style sheets.

Marius and folk might have better answer, but generally you would need to find a plugin, or do some custom coding work for that; since you’d need to be able to setup icons in the post meta, and then call those icons from the meta info for a custom query in the sidebar, and not use the standard WordPress widget.

You may find this useful:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_Your_Sidebar

However, I seem to recall a plugin somewhere that let you assign an image or icon to each category then call that from a sidebar widget.

Maybe this?
