For the first — are you saying hotmail users not getting the email from your site?

You may need to add an SMTP plugin so that emails from site come as something like welcome@yoursite.ooo vs phpmail wordpress@yoursite — basically so that emails come from ‘authenticated’ user vs php script. A lot of ISPs will now bounce or not accept such email as potential spam.

I went through this couple of years back setting up ecom system where clients would not get receipts. Same issue.

You will need to try SMTP plugin for that, as it’s the most common issue.

For users/authors, you need to use names which are not identical to user ‘roles’ — meaning create a name/user like “Senior Editor” not “editor” — as that is a reserved name as a user “type.” So, try changing that “author/user” to something else, like “Joe Smith” or “Story Editor” and not “editor.”

Hope that helped!

( I don’t work here. )

Most professionals in this biz with clients know they can make their own plugins, and also adding specific plugins for specific task are best way to do it — good luck trying to do what WooCommerce does, for example, without doing that. I do not work for TagDiv.

I’m a long time webdev, and have been using TD themes here for more than 3 years. 22 years building sites; 12 using WordPress.

So, I don’t work here, but this is a forum, so I can feed peanuts to the dirty apes, as much as anybody. This is not a support ticket system.

In any case, I was merely pointing out, that being polite and asking for help is better vs demanding it, then being insulting helps nobody — and you’re less likely to get help from the thousands of people who use this product and have for a long long time, and have gotten support and help above and beyond from the team.

It’s really up to you to ‘hack’ your site to do additional things; nobody is obligated to pre-test plugins for you, hence the answer given.

Not accepting an answer then insulting the person giving you the answer, isn’t helpful to those who make the theme and provide support — or for others on here who are helping out from experience and expertise.

Basically — you have the ajax login as provided in the demo — if you want to hack that to add additional features, you may want to re-read the answers provided, and then politely ask others for suggestions vs insulting the support person. Simple mods can be done, and they have provided many suggestions for that in the forum in the past.

See the support info:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/support-policy-2/

If you are reporting a bug, that is one thing. If you are “suggesting” possible future improvements, that is another. If you are asking for guidance on custom programming, you may get limited semi-canned answers, as it’s not covered under your included support for major things — but TD *does* provide a *LOT* of support on simple hacks for things if you read the thousands of posts. However *some* hacks are too involved to provide a simple “edit A, edit B, move C…” you’re done.

So, just get some reasonable expectation level going here, and you’ll be fine.

From one monkey to another, your back is more likely to get scratched if you stop flingin’ poo!

Features not included with the advertised theme can be added by anyone, if you want to add them. That’s why there is a demo before you buy to see WHAT it can do, not what it “might do someday.” No theme does everything for everyone. For folks who want custom logins, you should use a plugin (any plugin is generally agnostic with any theme; you don’t need to wait for recommendation — go do what others do trial/error what works for YOUR USE CASE .. your site is yours, and only YOU can make such choices).

A $50 theme doesn’t include $500 of free coding and doing the hard stuff for you. You have to do that yourself — in customizing your site beyond what a theme can do. The default login for WordPress is the default WordPress login — you can change that with custom functions if you want to (google it).

There isn’t really a need for a ton of “add ons” for theme — that’s what plugins are for. For example why add ecommerce to theme when there are three giant ecommerce solutions. Why add membership plugin to theme when there are many highly rated?

Helps to have realistic expectations.

Give ME a break.

Issue with your site setup. Check
a) system status
b) check error log
c) turn on WP debug to test
d) look for plugins no longer supported
e) if using caching, check for errors with plugin that might be rolling you back to prior day version (very unusual)
f) check your site has not been hacked! (maybe do this first!)

There is a slidebloom plugin in the wordpress.org repository, but hasn’t been updated in 2 years — but you might try it, if you can’t move your presentation to modern tech and leave Flash behind.

Flash is not supported by most web browsers by default anymore, being an end of life product (https://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2017/07/adobe-flash-update.html) and blocked by most modern ones, so should generally no longer be used — or start winding down if you have no choice “right now.”

What browser are you using, do you have Flash installed in browser, does your browser support Flash?

Theme has zero control over Flash content.

If you paste it into a post using the text editor, and it doesn’t work, it means something is wrong with what you’re entering, or your browser doesn’t suppport Flash playback.

( I don’t work here. Just feedback on the obvious possible issue. ) 🙂

a) check your system status
b) you can’t edit a page built with ‘VC’ with ‘TDcomposer’ – you need to make new one
c) clear all caching
d) check for problems with plugins, like Yoast SEO has had bugs — two updates this month(!); try disabling plugins to see which might be causing issue
e) WordPress security update this week; always good to clear transients with WP-Optimize after update AND resave permalinks to clear all micro-caching
f) is using any ‘auto optimization’ plugins, these can break things — disable, or selectively disable minification options

Also note if something “suddenly stops working” it’s because “something” changed on your website. You need to stay on top of what you’re doing — e.g., if you have auto-updates for WP turned on, what got updated? Why? What changed? Did you keep copies of earlier version to roll back if plugin update actually has bug in it trying to fix prior bugs? (ahem, Yoast!).

Food for thought anyway.

A ref for anybody wanting to play with this if already running http2.. use the built in wp api and test the function you want
https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/07/06/resource-hints-in-4-6/

Try checking all the theme panels for any inserted ads. if you see malware ads, your site might have been hacked and you need to use t he links provided to clean up your site and also perhaps repair dbase.

That is the icon font, used for all the little icons (e.g., trimmed version of FontAwesome) — you kinda need that.

🙂
usually a caching issue …

That’s why i do the wp-optimize thing and resave permalinks to clear all the ‘micro caching’ — seriously, it helps!

Auto update generally not great idea; but did you try since you should be doing a site backup PRIOR to any WP update (just as it says in the WP admin panel) — but try:
a) clear transients with wp-optimize
b) clear all caching
c) resave permalinks ?

Welcome to WordPress!

( I do a and c every time I update anything! )

Not really a theme issue; it’s an inherent issue with WordPress.

If you read up on this, you may find the plugin “maintenance mode” helpful, as this is the kind of thing that is good for.

Neither Theme (any theme) nor TagDiv are responsible for how WordPress ‘behaves’ when you change themes, or do any update to WP, themes, or plugins — that error comes from the fact your site is still being pinged, and sitemap in place, and suddenly the theme is not there, then it is again.

So — a permanent solution is to either ignore the issue as it should only happen once in awhile and Google doesn’t care, nor is it a “server issue” — it’s basically the fact that public should not be going to that folder.

So
a) either create a solution with htaccess like I did, or
b) learn to use something like the ‘maintenance mode’ plugin
c) mark fixed, ignore – move on with your life, per my prior posts 🙂

Food for thought anyway.

Not really a theme issue, so any help/advice you get on this forum will be voluntary, and not mandatory from staff or users.

mobile ads should be responsive not fixed desktop sizes

What plugin are you using to add your open graph meta data? Is it actually there when you do view source?

Yoast seo or similar plugins can help.

Best way is to move to hosting with php7 + https + http/2 …
anything else is going to be out of date in a few months.

Otherwise it’s a bit tricky, and not part of any WP theme- You need to read up on the various tutorials and tricks found in Google — leading to many website posts on this topic.

( I don’t work here. )

There was bug in Yoast. If you updated to new version and cleared all your caching, that might have fixed it.

Install via FTP, always best way.

Correct. Proper method to update anything in WP is to *delete* old folder and upload new one — never “overwrite” or merge folders.

WP UPDATE 9.19.17

Summary
From the WordPress 4.8.2 release post: WordPress versions 4.8.1 and earlier are affected by nine security issues:

$wpdb->prepare() can create unexpected and unsafe queries leading to potential SQL injection (SQLi). WordPress core is not directly vulnerable to this issue, but we’ve added hardening to prevent plugins and themes from accidentally causing a vulnerability. Reported by Slavco.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in the oEmbed discovery. Reported by xknown of the WordPress Security Team.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in the visual editor. Reported by Rodolfo Assis (@brutelogic) of Sucuri Security.
A path traversal vulnerability was discovered in the file unzipping code. Reported by Alex Chapman (noxrnet).
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in the plugin editor. Reported by 陈瑞琦 (Chen Ruiqi).
An open redirect was discovered on the user and term edit screens. Reported by Yasin Soliman (ysx).
A path traversal vulnerability was discovered in the customizer. Reported by Weston Ruter of the WordPress Security Team.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in template names. Reported by Luka (sikic).
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in the link modal. Reported by Anas Roubi (qasuar).
In addition to the security issues above, WordPress 4.8.2 contains six maintenance fixes to the 4.8 release series.

Check your system status in the panel as good first step …

You might need to enable UTF-8 encoding for domain/server, or specify this in your wp-config.php file ? Food for thought anyway.

Hi folks
although I’m not updating this thread anymore; note that I have been playing with the system font stack concept a bit more in Fall 2017 — and I covered how to hack the theme for this a page or two back — but have now decided for new project I do want Google fonts for the page text on desktop, Georgia for headers, but I want system font stacks for all mobile … so how to do THAT ?

Fun article I can recommend on this topic — only for those who want to mess with their font setup beyond the theme panel (TagDiv can’t help you with this topic!):

I use AdRotate for several years over here 🙂

Been there!

Once that happened to me it was the stupid server side unzip utility timed out and was missing two folders and half the root files from theme. Doh.

Back to “only” doing this on local machine THEN uploading to server.

Not like I’m paranoid … oh wait! I *am* ! 🙂
