You have the free ‘bundled’ version which does not need ‘activation’ with WP Bakery. You do not have a paid license with WP Bakery, so it cannot be ‘activated’ for WP support (it can be activated on the plugin page to be used with the included bundled templates/settings compatible with theme; you don’t get ‘bonus extras’ offered by paid users of the WP Bakery plugin!) — see the help info here in the forum and the links provided in prior reply

Good to look at an ad manager plugins – we use AdRotate here for several years, but more complex solutions are not free; but plenty of choices. Good first step would be to check the WordPress.org plugin repository (‘repo’).

Hi, good to use for a style class, but obviously try to avoid any inline style in the body of the pages, as I’m sure you know. Also, I think with width:100% we usually do height:auto ? so you might add that in there too 🙂

I think you can use Akismet with the theme login, but don’t quote me on that 😉

Likely because the font is loading ‘after’ everything else to speed up page load.

Only way to really fix that is complex
a) either load the font in header up front
b) convert the font elements to base 64 and include inline in the code

c) Another option, would be to unhook the theme font, and instead load the ‘font awesome’ font off their CDN, which would make it more likely to have been cached by a visitor – and hence load faster even though 5x the size of the ‘slimmed’ version included with theme

Just food for thought.

yeah. That plugin kind of sucks.

FTP is better way to consistently update theme without breaking, and also allows you to make a safety backup at same time!

I really noticed it last week again when changing out the wrong photo on post, went back to home page, and went ‘hey!’ — and had to hit refresh to see the new image.

It’s not just you 😉

Might not help, but I found in one instance with responsive AdSense units that it only served up proper sizes when I wrapped it into a div with a size class like 100%, or when inside a post layout adding a ‘max width’ as well to the class.

e.g.,
<div class="mybanbox">
--- normal adsense code here ---
</div>

You might try that — might be unrelated to your issue. But ran into that when trying to put full width banner “above” the top menu on one site to run full width.

ALSO: make sure you are not using some kind of minification option which might strip out commented code or inline javascript, etc. as that can also break AdSense ads by crunching the wrong thing.

AND: if you have recently clicked ‘don’t show me this type of ad’ on your own site, you may see empty ad units for a while. Incognito mode in Chrome might help there, maybe not.

Note that your web browser has caching (e.g., Chrome); and also WP does have some micro caching (‘transients’) in place which can be cleared using WP Optimize to clear those transients (I use it once a day here to clear cobwebs per site).

Also, technically most modern versions of PHP 5.6 and up have ‘opcache’ running which helps to do caching of stuff like pages with many requests.

So, if you view home page — all those things cache the page in your browser — and then you do new post, go back and look, new post not there. This is normal. However, a NEW visitor would only see the newly updated content.

(short answer was YES! and NO! — theme not doing that; it’s WP, PHP/Server side, and browser cache… )

Congrats, Radu and co … great job!!! 🙂

You can try
a) via FTP rename the plugins folder to kill all plugins to gain control
b) that ‘should’ allow you to login unless you damaged your dbase in some way

Otherwixse
c) go to a backup from before you tried importing something

always make backups via phpMyAdmin of dbase before doing any import/export of content to a dbase in case you break it, so that you can immediately roll back.

Check to see if your hosting provider supports ‘mod_pagespeed’ as this can compress the HTML by removing line breaks, comments and extra spaces. Simplest way to do that, if you’re able.

Better to compress the javascript, CSS, first.

You can also manually compress the main theme template you’re using for the post template, as another option.

Normally you should never have /page/2 from your home page as a home page is supposed to be a ‘single entity’ leading to other pages and categories, posts, pages, author bio, etc.

sitenameXXX/page/2 (no!)

Only page 2 from a post or index.

e.g.,

sitenameXXX/business-news/page/2/ (yes!)

Yes. I compact that using mod_pagespeed …

and I meant *all* custom code; “The Theme Panel puts all the custom fonts, colors and customizations in inline code instead of storing them in a file” … all of that can be done manually in the style.css vs using theme panel to make those changes.

Might not be your issue, but one common solution is to modify the default time that WP does an ‘auto save’ to something like 120 seconds or more. Change that in the wp-config.php file — many issues I’ve had with editing things lead back to pesky WP trying to do something WHILE I’m trying to do something.

Couldn’t hurt 🙂

I use a custom sidebar for those, then just put my ads in a WP ‘custom HTML’ widget.

Best way to do custom CSS, btw; is simply add to bottom of the style.css and minify; don’t place in the theme panel.

Also, if your host supports mod_pagespeed there is a nifty filter to remove comments, empty spaces and line breaks at the server level.

Not perfect answer, but that’s what I do. 🙂

You might also try this:

General tip:
make backups of site and plugins periodically, and BEFORE updating plugins in case the plugin is broken or buggy. This way you can ‘roll back’ immediately to restore working site.

Also with Yoast, I find it useful to
a) clear transients with WP Optimize plugin
b) resave permalinks

Useful to read through theme docs to learn what everything does, try here for example
https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-blocks-modules/

Look in the all files zip download … i think…

Working for me, but my setup is highly optimized and i avoid funky plugins, dont use speedbooster, dont use multiple pagebuilders, etc.

Always remember when doing updates you seriously need to clear all caching, clear transients, and browser cache cleared. Many java issues are client side.

Might be dumb, but double check your www vs non www vs http vs https elements using F12 console to see if a mismatch causing something to not load …. very odd …

make sure that file is not blocked by a bad robots.txt entry; and make sure it’s actually there !

Check your system status for enough RAM; also check you’re using a userlevel high enough to make changes to site; also check PHP version as 5.6 or higher should be used. Older versions are end of life.
