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.

Yes, you need to install the theme zip not the ‘all files’ zip 😉

(we’ve all done this one … )

Usually file permissions, bad plugin, timeout from server, etc.

Media upload is part of WP, not theme, specifically. So, if you can’t upload from simply using the WP media manager, might be an issue with a plugin or file permissions.

Could be any number of things, unfortunately.

Using “DUPLICATOR” is best way to fully migrate a site from one location to another without gremlins, I’ve found.

Themify is different theme company; which panel are you trying to open exactly?

Do you mean TagDiv Composer? WPBakery?

You can’t generally mix different theme components.

You may need to be waaay more specific.

I don’t work here; just some feedback.

Ah, OG meta is the ‘open graph’ tags used by Facebook; normally you’d manage those with a plugin like Yoast SEO or All in one SEO or even a simple OG plugin. Facebook needs those tags, which can be seen when doing ‘view source’ of one of your posts. Without them, they will not grab correct info most of the time. 🙂

( I don’t work here; just been using TagDiv stuff for four years, and WordPress since 2005 … )

So the page is public on mobile, but asks for password on desktop?

Weird. Never saw that before. You might have to email link to tagdiv to check, if you can replicate issue across multiple posts.

simchris

Did you check your post to see if the OG meta data is actually there?

Also note sometimes FB simply times out when sharing, and you might have to once in a while do the ‘refresh attachments’ option on your FB post from your FB page.

We run into this every few weeks. Super annoying. 🙂

Not my theme. Comments are generally part of WordPress, not theme; theme may add CSS to add fancy style, but comments are “handled” by WordPress.

But check the demos to see what is there or what is not.

Did you make sure you’re ‘logged out’ on the mobile device also?

E-mail Address
Enter the e-mail address to which you want WordPress to send messages regarding the administration and maintenance of your WordPress site. For example, if you allow new users to register as a member of your site (see Membership below), then a notification will be sent through e-mail to this address.

In addition, if the option, An administrator must always approve the comment, is set in Administration > Settings > Discussion, this e-mail address will receive notification that the comment is being held for moderation.

Please note this is different than the address you supplied for the admin user account; the admin account e-mail address is sent an e-mail only when someone submits a comment to a post by admin. The address you enter here will never be displayed on the site. You can send messages to multiple admins by using an email address which forwards email to multiple recipients.

Install the updated supported version, per the theme docs from

Akismet is useful. Some google captcha plugins on the wordpress.org repo.

Did you change the images in the slider to be https vs http? You might need to recreate the slider ‘slides’ if you can’t edit them.

Also useful to add explicity https full url into the wp-config.php file — which is what I did. We did our main site to ‘https everywhere’ in 2014, then the rest (dozen or so) in 2015. So went through all the hoops then.

Not sure on pagination unless there is some caching with old “next page” embedded somehow. Search link should match site URL, so try the trick of adding explicit https paths to wp-config.php file.

Look at t he HTML for the gallery, to see if http images still be loaded.

simchris

Did you do search/replace in your post meta to update all http links to images and whatnot to https? Update theme panel settings for logos, etc., to https? That stuff impacts moving to https a lot!

these might help

just suggested reading; I don’t work here and have NO relationship to above sites in any way.

Main thing is to limit number of modules; perhaps only use *one* on sidebar, not five; don’t use footer elements, just have copyright; do simpler home page; disable XMLRPC as possible attack vector that can overload site; disable comments site wide unless you must have them (don’t serve much purpose anymore other than trolls and spam); turn off ‘related posts’ and ‘more from author’ and disable ‘you might like.’

Those are all good starting points. Idea is to ‘start small’ then optimize by adding more; not turn every option on to start with.

I don’t work here; but food for thought anyway 🙂

Make full backups, see docs about major changes, upgrade via ftp, the adjust site for changes

simchris
tagDiv Member

Generally a good practice to keep a backup of your website prior to moving to *any* major theme version upgrade. Also good to review changelog prior to install. Just because there is a new version doesn’t mean you have to use it. Often themes with major version updates add or change things, and this may mean site needs adjustments to work with new features.

ALWAYS: back up your dbase via MySQL/hosting account, files, website via FTP to a local hard drive or cloud backup for safe keeping. This is why WordPress also recommends this before installing new versions of WP, for same reason. Things change; site might or might not need to be adjusted to work with changes.

If you are not keeping prior install copies (and good time to start planning to keep backups of your projects!), you can usually email tagdiv to have them email you the prior version, unless it had some big security flaw (there were couple of versions with security flaw, just like WordPress itself).

If you need the last version (e.g., 8.4x), you can often email them directly from the contact info in forum to “ask nicely” for the prior version. 🙂

LEARN TO BACK UP YOUR FILES, INSTALL FILES, WEBSITE AND DBASE. Or, it will bite you at some point.

simchris

REMINDER for those upgrading — you need to *delete* old theme folder, then upload new version via FTP to ensure no broken files/pieces; not over-write/merge 8.x and 8.5 (!).

simchris

Yes, you need to remove all inline HTML to pass AMP validation.

Best way is to search/replace the dbase using MySQL/phpMyAdmin or similar (see various tutorials online on how to do this). Not part of theme. The center text element in posts is part of WordPress editor, and technically should always have been a style ‘class.’

Basically you need to change anything that you want centered to a
class="text-center"

Same with any inline styles you may have used for tables or comparable.

Hope that helped!

look in the ‘all files’ download; this is where they can always be found 🙂

simchris

Working for me, but using on test site, not a MAMP server. Only using TD Composer, no minification plugins and not using the tagdiv booster plugin, not using CDN, or any external stuff. Using PHP 7.1x with https.

many folks use free version of Yoast SEO or similar.

You need to add twitter tags for twitter to work properly.
How are you adding your Twitter and Open Graph (OG) tags?

In the main style.css file.
