Use Yoast SEO to optimize your homepage! 🙂

For the ‘page’ you create to set as home page, at bottom will be settings from Yoast SEO to set stuff for that page.

Also, you can add a h1 description of your site in a simple text box on home page, either at bottom in a new row, or in sidebar.

See the YOAST SEO user guides on how to use with your custom home page.

Likely want to open a new ticket and ‘reference’ this one; as NP 8 is totally different from NP 4 and code is nothing alike. Totally different theme at this point. So, old solutions won’t work with new version; so, if you tried it and it doesn’t work, that’s why.

Did you try your custom code?

e.g., try inspector on any of the demos

https://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/discover-the-10-best-hairstyles-according-to-your-face-shape/

640×428 apparently

also, in Chrome inspector, in right box, there will be at very bottom an “illustration” of the image and padding div, showing the dimensions as rendered.

a) on the theme settings for turning thubnails on

b) on the web, such as in Chrome, you can use F12 console inspector to look at the image size “rendered” on the page

c) on the web, with Chrome, you can inspect any image, by right-mouse-click ‘inspect’ to open console: so, if I do that on, say the avatar of your photo here on forum:

src="http://2.gravatar.com/avatar/2813d211a0d1a5c2d5ec3043f7ab7555?s=200&d=identicon&r=g" width="200" height="200" alt="" class="avatar avatar-200 wp-user-avatar wp-user-avatar-200 photo avatar-default td-animation-stack-type0-2"

this shows the width and height of the rendered content.

Inline ads work fine. You are adding to a stale topic from 3 years ago. Note the DATES on forum posts here.

Adding to a July 2014 topic has nothing whatsoever to do with current version of theme.

For help on using inline ads see the documentation for NP 8.

Depends on which template you’re using. Check the image sizes noted for each template, and then choose the size used for that. Then let system make anything smaller for thumbs. For sizes larger, you can upload to that size if needed on case by case basis.

At least that’s what I do 🙂

probably simplest to edit the woocommerce templates in the theme folder, and add the code to that; or make new over-ride template per normal WooCommerce practice, then put into the theme woocommerce over-ride folder.

I don’t work here, so I won’t be doing anything to fix your website for you, only giving pointers on how you can learn to do so yourself.

Good luck.

Often if you don’t want to learn to ‘hack’ the theme yourself
“there’s a plugin for that …”

If you use “rows” vs “columns” with responsive design when elements contract, only the row contracts.

so
[ [content] [content] ]
———————–
[ [content] [content] ]

in above example, when each ‘row’ contracts, if different amount of content in each [area], then one will be taller than other, as the ‘row’ is still the same height for ALL content in that row <—–>
This is why I do

———————-
[{content}][{content}]
{more} {more}
{more} {more}
———————-
this way if content taller in right, stuff on left moves up.

Hope that made sense 🙂

Well, again – not part of theme, so asking for theme support not best choice, when you can Google how to manage your dbase and WordPress system.

Theme doesn’t control your dbase or content.

But anyway, gave you some pointers, up to you to use or not. 🙂

Have a great day! Sorry not more help. But answer was correct.

No worries. WooCommerce is not part of the theme, and generally any ‘customizations’ for Woo have to be done as part of the Woo elements, such as custom template mods, function hooks to change messages on pages, behaviors, etc.

So, Google good place to look, if there is NOT already a custom 404 theme template inside the woocommerce folder within the theme itself (have you looked in there yet?).

E.g.,

I had to customize the heck out of our WooCommerce install end of 2015, so went through the hideous learning curve on how a lot of stuff with Woo should be in the Woo panel but they have cottage industry selling plugins on annual basis, or want you to make custom hooks in a function to change obvious things like “message on the login page” or “remove shipping address on checkout page” which really should be simple on/off stuff in Woo, or at least offered in single “extend Woo” plugin for all the stupid stuff that can’t be done with a theme or in Woo “directly.”

Anyway — just food for thought. Theme itself doesn’t control custom Woo templates, was my point; but you can add over-ride templates by putting them in a woocommerce folder inside the theme.

Woo DOCS:

Theme support is awesome.
Obviously if you didn’t try to install theme via FTP to ensure it’s in place properly, then you didn’t listen to the suggested solution. If 10,000 people can use it, and 25 can’t, often the issue is with the 25, not the rest, oddly enough.

Good luck!

Issue with Envato. — OR — *can* be caused by improper install of theme or file permissions, caching issue, transients, other plugins, minification and compression fault from CDN, etc.

Did you try ‘manual’ activation?

## SNIP:

Usually waiting for a while and trying again is a solution for that issue, we have yet to identify an exact cause for that message. Please try to activate the theme manually

or,try the fix 😉

if only 2-3 people out of 10,000 people ask about that, not big on the to do list.

All themes with page builders and complex options, built-in features ala plugins, may ‘change the way wordpress works’ — as WP doesn’t do a lot of things out of the box.

(Only my opinion, I do *not* work here!)

Edit the content with phpmyadmin using a mysql query. Many tutorials online for how to do a search/replace in your mysql dbase.

Common thing to do also when moving from http to https and having to change internal image and link URLs.

Theme doesn’t control the meta data in your posts in any way, that is normally found in the WP post meta box, which is part of the WordPress database.

Google doesn’t like ‘resized with CSS’ images as the browser has to do the work, which is considered slow for mobile vs an optimized “serve images at actual size” methodology.

One trick is to change the 3 image sizes made by WordPress, separate from the theme to be your 3 most use sizes. Also consider cutting couple of modules.

Or, you could turn sizes off, and thumbs won’t be made, and will be resized in some instances (larger to small, but smaller to large will not fill boxes).

Try it; but then also check your Pagespeed Insights from Google for “make images right size…” warning.

If your server does mod_pagespeed, you can have it build temp cache images on the fly, including conversion to webp format. Again, something you’d need to test.

(I don’t work here; but we went through this. We ended up limiting “total number of sizes to 6” to keep thumb explosion down.)

ALSO: be sure to change the default compression for thumbs in your wp-config.php, as most small thumbs don’t need to be razor sharp, and so compression level of 50 works for most stuff!

Just mark as fixed.

This happens whenever you update/change themes and don’t use a “maintenance mode” plugin.

You should ideally make a custom 404 page for your woocommerce area. I think the WooCommerce docs have info on how to do that; or just make a new ‘page’ in your WC store, then add the error 404 link in your .htaccess file.

If you’re asking about how to change a plugin to show something when a plugin-search shows nothing, no idea.

(I don’t work here.)

simchris

You probably need to contact the plugin developer for assistance.

Only ‘tested’ plugins are supported by TagDiv, as noted in prior reply (I don’t work here). You can try turning on WordPress debug function, and look at your hosting panel error log to try to debug the issue.

You can also try disabling other plugins to find the ‘conflict.’

If you didn’t save your prior files, you can also request they email you the prior version of Newspaper, but no longer supported.

Probably need to provide more information…
what did you insert, from where …

where did you place it

what did you expect to happen and didn’t

possibly include link

nobody can help without waaaaay more info!

Best way to insert links on image is with normal HTML wrapping the image src tag in anchor link. Many online HTML tutorials on how to do that.

simchris

what did you change?

“all of a sudden” should not happen unless something updates.

Make sure you clean your wp_options table in your dbase, too.
If you don’t do that, infection can still be there!

Forgot to include this article, also:
https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2017/08/traffictrade-malware/

attackers modify your wp_options table to inject the malicious code into that table

What TrafficTrade Malware Does On Your Site
Once you have been infected with TrafficTrade, it injects Javascript onto your site that loads from the TrafficTrade.life domain. The actual script is very simple.
It redirects your visitors to a ‘trafficreceiver’ domain which then does further redirects to whichever campaign they are running. In the case of my test, you are redirected to a site that wants you to install a Chrome plugin – most likely malicious.

Seems this IP range would be useful to block:
79.110.128.0 – 79.110.135.255

HOW TO CLEAN DBASE!
https://wpfixit.com/traffictrade-wordpress-infection/

REMOVE INFECTION SCRIPT FROM SITE

The goal here is to track down where the script we mentioned above exists and them remove all traces of it. The scanning we did in the previous step will likely show you what files on your site have this script but it will not show you where in the database it remains.

Run Search and Replace Using a Plugin
Our favorite search and replace plugin is Better Search Replace. Install and active this plugin to search and replace database content. You would simply run a search for the script above and replace it with an empty filed.

Run Search and Replace Using a SQL Query
To do this, you will need phpMyAdmin access. This access allows you entry to edit the database that your WordPress site runs on. Once you have this you will run the SQL Query below which will search the entire database for the bad script and remove it.

UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = REPLACE(post_content, '<script src=\'https://traffictrade.life/scripts.js\' type=\'text/javascript\'></script>', '') WHERE INSTR(post_content, '<script src=\'https://traffictrade.life/scripts.js\' type=\'text/javascript\'></script>') > 0;
