Just use a raw HTML element and put the AdRotate short code in there. Or, create something like widgetized sidebar, then in the sidebar, put AdRotate widget into the custom sidebar.

I did search/replace in the style.css so that ‘default’ fonts are the ones I wanted without touching the panel settings.

( been there ! ) 😉

Also make sure you have the GDlibrary and/or ImageMagick turned ‘on’ for the server!

I think if you’re using a full width column, use the top bar header ad spot.

Or, simply drop in your ad in a [raw html] box. That’s what I did. 🙂

This is most often a bad setting in however you might be doing a caching plugin (turn off minification, or disable for RSS feeds), or a bad plugin trying to inject code at ‘top’ of all pages/endpoints and breaking the RSS.

Header for a site/feed endpoint should start with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><rss version="2.0"
xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"
xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"

Theme has nothing to do with this.

Hi
I’m assuming you put the widgetized sidebar into your layout.

Then you put your custom ‘homepage’ sidebar into the block on your layout.

Then you added the plugin to the ‘homepage’ sidebar, and tested? And also tested it works on “any” sidebar like the default one, not just the custom one for homepage?

There are many simple ‘plugins’ which have widgets that you can drag to the sidebar and configure from appearance > widgets > sidebar — and then that sidebar would go into a widgetized sidebar ‘block’ on homepage.

That’s how I insert weather widget on my home page, for example.

Simplest way is to make clone of the template you are using; find the section which inserts the featured image, then use advanced custom fields (ACF) to make a custom field for posts, with the target URL.

Then do an if/then/else

if ACF field 
> <a href="urlfromfield">[featured image code]</a>
elseif
[featured image code]
endif

It’s such an uncommon request it’s doubtful they will add it to the codebase.

It’s not weird — if you want all those little thumbs in modules, the thumbs have to be created somehow — not my elfin magic 😉

This is why there is option in theme panel to turn on/off the thumbs you don’t actually need. So if using module x, y and z — just turn on those ‘sizes’ and turn the rest off.

Probably don’t have cURL installed on server.

Might have to install via FTP.

We use the AdRotate plugin, then put the shortcode into the templates.

Best to upload web jpg images, with quality factor of perhaps 32-52.

*Not* Photoshop jpeg format.

In Photoshop do ‘save for web’ not ‘save as jpeg’ — two different formats.

Image would be more like 200kb not 2MB if saved as web jpg. 🙂

If uploading png, try doing png8 and switch to 64 colors, not png24 (only used when transparency needed; and best to upload these via FTP).

Yep. Different theme has different modules. So you would need to recreate any home page layout. Might be easier if you’ve already moved to TD Composer from Visual Composer.

There some good plugins — theme check? I forget — that let you ‘try’ a new theme without losing all the settings/transients from original theme. Might be worth doing that first.

And always make backups of everything via ftp, php/myadmin, export WP dbase, export theme settings into a text file (e.g,. any custom widget text, any custom text in theme panel, any custom text in layout boxes…).

Not sure that helps – but some feedback anyway.

Add a widgetized sidebar; then put the widget for twitter feed into the custom sidebar. That’s what I do.

use F12/console to see errors.

Remember you should
a) put explicit https link to website in your wp-config.php file
b) change links to logos/RSS whatever in your theme panel
c) may need to do search replace in your WP post meta via phpmyadmin in your MySQL dbase to search/replace links and inserted images in your posts — many tutorials online for this.

Yeah. They have been having issues. You can try saving, then check back later to see if image pops in. Or, do what ive been doing on every third post… save it, then click the 1 minute ago link on the fb post, click top right down arrow to refresh attachment. One thing or the other will work. Annoying but 2 billion users seem to mess with reality from time to time.

Probably best to keep using VC with NP8 then.

Need to update all your links for logos and whatnot in your theme panel settings.

Also may need to do search/replace in your post-meta via phpmyadmin for any images ‘placed’ into posts in your dbase.

Many tutorials on how to do that online.

I use the AdRotate plugin.

Well – I just went to the post on your site, clicked ‘share’ and it properly populated the photo, excerpt, headline, etc. — so working for me 🙂

Looks like it’s working.

Again, FB has been having some hiccups – including this a.m. where post capture was timing out and other stuff. No idea why you’d get the debug issues, but I “suspect” it might be sensing the Instagram stuff — dunno.

Um; it means that the TagDiv Booster function capability has been disabled, if you look at your page source you’ll see that — it doesn’t mean your plugin was ‘disabled.’ Two different things.

Again, the theme pulls the data from a query to your php settings via the php query command, it’s not inventing that data.

Anyway — not my problem. Good luck!

Facebook having an issue with capture.

Also note theme has nothing to do with sharing to FB.

You should have proper open graph (OG) meta data in your header, which you can see from ‘view source’ on any of your posts. If the meta data is there, this is what FB uses.

Make sure you have your site properly setup. For instance do you have your website URL set explicitly in your wp-config.php file and in your WP admin panel? Is your DNS setup properly (e.g., www. and non www and http and https are all different things and only *one* version of URLs should be used).

What are you using to insert OG tags in your posts?
Is the meta data actually there?

Are you getting F12/console errors on your posts in Chrome?

( I don’t work here; just some feedback as early adopter of Open Graph on WP. )

The ad system supports multiple image sizes for mobile optimization, just like WordPress srcset.

You can put a simple ad unit in the sidebar widget as a text box, and if WP doesn’t scale in sidebar, just ad the normal CSS for responsive images (e.g., width:100%;max-width:300px;height:auto; ).

That’s what I do with locally hosted ads.

( I don’t work here; so feel free to ignore my input! )

Well, it may not match the php.ini file, but should match the example file I provided.

However, if you *know* the system settings are correct on server, then it’s really immaterial to anything as the theme is reading that from your system, so the system is reporting the wrong info — but if it’s correct on the backend, that is all that matters if the resources are “actually” available.

Also, per the theme docs, if you know the WP Orion plugin doesn’t conflict, you can simply add it t o the TD Booster plugin whitelist.

I don’t work here, just some feedback as I’ve been managing my own Linux servers since Jan. 1996.

The phpinfo.php file when you run it will show the ‘actual’ PHP settings for your single domain/site. If not, then your system is mis-configured.

You don’t have to use TD Composer; you can keep using Visual Composer if you wish.

TDC is not a 1:1 replacement for VC. You would need to redo your layout for home page or custom page with TDC if you choose to use that instead.

Can’t you use normal HTML/CSS3/HTML5 tables?

You might be able to add CSS for the table classes you’re using.

(I don’t work here; just food for thought.)
