they do need to fix the ‘wrap’ function for long URLs in the next forum CSS update around here (ahem) 😉

We’ve been using TD COmposer for couple of years since it was in beta as descendant of the ‘shim’ workaround for VC. For us, it’s 10x faster, less bloat, more secure, etc.

But we only use it for home page layout and nothing else for our news magazine sites. We’re not building corporate sites with it or similar. Hence “newsmag” theme for news magazines.

Back in 2013/14 VC used to kill our old server with weird CPU spikes, driving the system from .09 to 70 (something like 7,000x normal!). We have had ZERO issues with TDC on literally one dozen websites with both Newsmag and TD IonMag.

So, I’m probably one of the first big cheerleaders for TDC over VC. But again, I never used VC for “page layouts” or “corporate info page” sites. Just for news magazine home page layout, since posts and pages for rest of a news portal don’t need complex layouts (in our case anyway).

There is a side by side analysis — I think there might even be one on the current newsmag sales page on ThemeForest ?

If you change the URL/slug of a post that might change the views.

However, the views are stored in a custom field at bottom of the post edit page, so you can SEE the number of views, and change them back if something you’re doing is resetting them, which is unusual.

Yes, simply change the author from the drop down in the post, on the editor screen.

This might help if you’re new to how WordPress works:

Low percentage of what? Indexed pages? You need to make sure unique urls and content, and submit sitemaps properly. Theme controls none of that.

Ftp always best way vs via wp admin panel.

Increase memory limits and file limits for your local php virtual setup.

Looks like a plugin or your hosting setup generating that.

Generally you can’t edit a Visual Composer page with TagDiv Composer — two totally different things, based on my own experience.

two different things. AMP has nothing to do with theme’s mobile theme. So, works just fine. AMP is a new endpoint yoursite.ooo/post/amp and doesn’t use anything from the mobile theme and only works if Google deems it ‘worthy’ to show to people in SERPS.

Likely disable whatever tracking plugin you’re using – or adjust its settings ?

Simplest to just delete that section from plugin then try it.
Or, contact plugin author for a filter to use?

Simpler to just delete the code from plugin probably than go through task of de-registering it from a function when it is registered by plugin.

Theme has zero control over removing CSS from other plugins, only moving CSS to footer.

So, you’re not using Cloudflare with Rocketloader?
That’s where that comes from.

If using Cloudflare you likely want to check with them for tech support on how to disable the rocket loader for certain javascripts they are re-writing.

RTFM = this might or might not work with ‘automatic’ mode on; you might need to instead use manual mode.
<script data-cfasync="false" src="/javascript.js"></script>

Looks like your ‘rocket’ system is modifying that; not part of theme!

Not really theme related, so you likely need to go do some google searches on how to setup regex expression redirects, or possibly try the “redirection” plugin which can help you setup redirects for your htaccess file.

Theme doesn’t control your htaccess file or permalinks.

You might need to hire a developer to sort out the reasons why your site is no longer connecting to dbase — did you change settings in your wp-config.php file ? Did you get hacked ? Did you web host move servers, or replace RAID drive, or other system error? Did they upgrade PHP version? Did you try disabling *all* plugins except those included with theme, and then clear transients with WP-Optimize plugin, and resave permalinks?

Obviously theme doesn’t control WordPress actually connecting to your dbase — which is normally via the setting in your wp-config.php file, giving WordPress core ability to read/write to your dbase. However, not sure who you were able to add new stories this month, but then not be able to access them.

You had a ton of web server errors, so it might be worth doing a CLEAN install of WordPress, theme, plugins, and double check your wp-config.php file, check you don’t have some weird permissions set via htaccess from old caching plugin, etc.

Likely need to hire somebody to help if none of that makes sense.

Often for this kind of solution, it’s better to use a plugin for reviews, vs the theme platform for review ratings; this typically adds the meta box to the post pages for entry; then appends it to the end of the post meta section.

Or, another option is to create a new user role where you give all the permissions, but disable certain things.

Plugin is simpler method — we did this for one client as they wanted that to be ‘theme agnostic’ in case they decided to change themes a year later. I forget which plugin we used, but there are lots and lots of them out there.

Not sure that helped – just feedback.

Did you read the guides in the theme docs > tutorials section?

Did you review the “how to fix” on the GTmetrix page you linked to?

GTM provides explanations for each item you need to fix, why and suggestions. You just need to explore and look a little bit closer.

If you have trouble following website navigation, note the left side on the ‘documentation’ page here:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-documentation/

note the ‘tutorials’ option in the list of topics?

that leads to various help and how to including DIY (do it yourself) guides, such as this:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/best-of-forums/

etc. 🙂

Good luck! It’s a learning process to be sure !

Yep, browser caching highly important. Good idea to fix that then retest.

Likely need to be way more clear.

Articles that show up in a category index only show the articles you actually add to that category.

Also see:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Manage_Categories_SubPanel

You can often create a custom template based on the category “ID” and duplicate a theme template for that single category. Lots of tutorials online for that.

So, you might need to provide more information for the folks around here to offer better suggestions. Sorry if that didn’t help (I don’t work here.)

Test your page with GTmetrix.com for suggestions.

See the tutorials in the documents > tutorials section.
