Yep. i do this on our California website for authors who interview celebrities; where I post it ‘as them’ so I don’t have to give them access to the system 😉 When published, it has their name, little bio, photo, etc.

Check your page source to see if the code is actually there (‘view source’ in your web browser). If it’s there, theme can’t do anything more with it. You have to wait awhile for GA to work. Theme just helps you put the code on the page — nothing else related to GA.

I would also like to ‘suggest’ that TagDiv discontinue ‘printing’ the theme version in the footer, as this is an easy Google search for vulnerable theme versions, much like printing the version of WordPress in header was incredibly dumb for WP security practices. I’m not sure this is still happening in latest version, but I used to have to remove that code by hack of theme files.

Also useful to read the WordPress docs on how to create posts.

When you create a new post while logged in as admin, you can choose from any existing ‘author/user’ you have created, from a drop down on the post edit page when making a new post.

So, if you login as ‘superadminguy’ and then you want to create a post as “Joe Smith” you simply ‘select’ that author from the author drop down box on the post edit page — this is built into WordPress and not theme related.

Then when post is published, the author meta you’ve created for that ‘user’ is shown at bottom of the post as the author, not the superadmin.

If that was not what you meant – sorry to butt in 😉

Not really issue with theme; issue with Chrome. If it prints in Safari, and not in Chrome, that kind of tells you the issue.

You can try
a) clear cache in Chrome
b) make sure running up to date version of Chrome
c) try ‘incognito’ mode in Chrome
d) try Chrome on a different OS or computer as behavior is different on Mac OSX vs Windows 10, iOS, etc.

Also useful to look at the F12 console in Chrome for site errors:

e.g., in your page

Failed to decode downloaded font: http://fonts.gstatic.com/stats/Roboto/normal/700

Be aware Chrome is going to continue to work less and less consistently with sites not conforming to https, so good to look at moving to https ASAP.

a) check the system status in the theme panel
b) check php settings in your hosting panel
c) increase RAM allocated to WP in wp-config.php and php settings in hosting panel
d) consider optimizing site for https via proper server side redirect for http > https queries, add https admin required in wp-config.php vs using plugin for https
e) try disabling plugins that load CSS/js onto admin panels and pages/posts, even if not actually used on those pages (e.g., Contact Form 7 doesn’t need css/js on pages without the form actually being used)
f) test one of your post pages with GTmetrix.com to see if you need to optimize server settings for gzip/deflate, expiration headers

For images
A) better to optimize in Photoshop prior to upload to site (e.g., 40kb image vs 124kb image — slows down system if server has to do that for you)
B) better to set the WP default compression level to 50 in functions.php than use plugin to do that, this will make thumbs uploaded more optimized

Depending on how email is setup on your system you might need to look at your error log; if you see authentication errors, it means php can’t send out email, and you need to use an SMTP plugin, to send email from a domain-based account (e.g., support@mysite.ooo).

Also with certain security plugins, check if there is a disable password recovery option, as some folks fully disable that feature (as we do here) for better security.

That’s how WordPress search works — it’s based on “relevance” normally. So, if the term ‘bunny’ is used 10x in one item and 5x in another, depending on that you may see the one with 10x more. I’m not sure if the ajax search works same way.

There are various ‘better search’ plugins for WordPress you can add which improve how the builtin search works, which might be worth looking into.

Not sure that was what you meant as far as “date sort” …. but I’m sure TagDiv may have more official answer; just some food for thought while you wait 🙂

Are you looking in the ‘all files zip’ or just the ‘theme zip’ — two different downloads from ThemeForest for the theme package.

Basic HTML, wrap your image banner in an anchor link.

Lots of tutorials online for learning the basics of HTML.

e.g.,

<a href="linktogoto"><img src="/myimage.jpg" height="" width="" alt="" /></a>

And the image won’t be larger than what you upload when it gets cropped, was my point?

Also note that Google custom search will inject ads into all your site searches

Catalin will need to answer that one, as I’m not sure where that code hook is — although probably in the socials snippet file/module …

You need to optimize your site, no theme can do that for you.

See my long winded optimization thread for tips in the tutorials, DIY, best of forums section.

There is a complex process to do this, but if your host will be supporting php 7 + https + http/2 you no longer need to do a lot ofthat, as http/2 will package the entire page as a single element which solves the issue.

Normally you would move elements to footer, and put critical CSS in the head, among other things, or use some tricky plugins that might or might not work. (Speedbooster tries to do some of this…)

Perhaps not answer you were looking for, but having done this for a lot of site myself, looking at http/2 is the best solution to look into with your hosting provider for 2018 ‘best way’ to do that.

(you can try the free ‘scripts to footer’ plugin also … )

Yes, if you don’t update your theme or WordPress when there are security patches, or take proper precautions to check for core, theme, plugin updates then all WordPress sites are at risk.

Learn to keep your site secure:

If you are already compromised, simply updating theme is not enough, you need to clean your ad section, and check your database.

Welcome to WordPress!

A new image uploaded should crop; an old image would need thumbs regenerated. Also note in some cases if the crop would make larger image, pesky WordPress turns off the upscale feature, so you *might* need to add the free ‘thumbnail upscale’ plugin — as I had this same issue with our stuff.

Double check the code is correct with the opening and closing elements; make sure you paste into the correct box in the ‘custom code’ box for GA.

Also, if you’re doing that in YOAST SEO, don’t also put it in the theme too.

Probably means nobody has used it. If they are cheap enough, you might try them. Or first look for free stuff on wordpress.org in plugins repo — usually a freebie for this if you don’t want to create a function yourself.

Do you have proper closing div there ?

New 4.0 theme is new version, and requires new activation vs v2 or v3.

basically to help fight the massive piracy online for TD themes. Which, if you want the company to stay in business, is absolutely necessary, although a little frustrating — esp for all of us with multiple licenses across multiple themes and sites.

Generally best to simply ask for help vs name calling — while it’s frustrating when things change, there is usually a simple solution that the TD theme and volunteers can help with.

hang in there brother!

DUPLICATOR plugin is best way. I have used this twice now for couple of gigantic projects on changing and moving 10 year old sites to new domain name and fresh WP install.

Or, import content using PHPmyAdmin for your MySQL backup. But then you’d need to manually do any search/replace in your database for changes, such as different domain name, etc. (same process used when moving from http > https).

Note the ‘import’ function in the WordPress panel sometimes is hit/miss and not 100% reliable — you may need to temporarily increase your php settings (memory, time processes run, file size limit, etc.) to the maximum allowed by your hosting provider (but let them know what you are up to).

BUT, DUPLICATOR is a little tricky first time out — but it is the only ‘foolproof’ way I found to move sites and actually have everything work right.

answered in your other post on error in your feed…
not theme issue, but looks like related to JetPack.

No need to cross post same issue you might be having in two forums.

503 usually means a server maintenance error, or error generated when WordPress is in ‘maintenance’ mode such as updates/installs.
