Christopher is a long time WordPress user. Anything else you need to know is private ;-) I *do not* work for TagDiv, but I've been using their themes since late 2013.

Not part of the theme.
Likely you will want to delete the plugin manually from your /wp-content/plugins/ folder via FTP or from your hosting panel.

minify it per Google guidelines?

https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/MinifyResources

make sure you have gzip enabled on server?

Which web browser, which OS version?

Did you try Chrome browser on Windows? Check F12/console for errors.

Doesn’t hurt the site at all. We’ve been using it since it was in BETA end of 2015 with zero problems. The /amp/ endpoint won’t use anything from the theme, however the /amp/ endpoint will generally only pull in the content actually in the body of the text, not stuff outside the post such as a slider or featured image, etc. — and anything inserted must be https.

Likely good to look at the forum for the plugin.

If you are using Yoast SEO, be sure to also get the ‘glue for amp’ plugin for Yoast.

Did you try the theme panel under footer settings?

Did you check F12/console for errors in browser? Javascript errors might block the GA code.

Did you check your GA console for errors?

Did you check your post content still has the tracker in place?

Theme has no control over tracking — only places the code into your HTML. Nothing else. if it’s there in your code when doing view source, and you have no JS errors, nothing to do with the theme.

I don’t work here.

Typically for best support, it’s good to identify what steps you took to debug a “sudden error” — did you update something? What did you check to determine the problem? Only you can manage your own website. Theme is only tiny portion of your site, hosting, plugins, WordPress, etc.

Are you using responsive ads?

If you’re using custom ads, you need to put in smaller image sizes for mobile devices or wrap the div in responsive css and/or the image with a 100% width plug max-width class.

turn off the lazy loading image effects; often an issue;

check for console errors; F12/ in chrome.

So,
you’re saying the info reported in the theme panel is different than what you see in the phpinfo.php print out on screen ?

simchris
tagDiv Member

Probably part of the plugin you’re using (e.g., Jetpack).

You can easily see what FB should be capturing by looking at the actual Open Graph (OG) meta data in head of your post (simply do ‘view source’).

simchris

You can try the ‘scripts to footer’ plugin which moves all .js to footer. It’s what I use in place of Speedbooster; but you have to try it and see if it breaks anything. With certain js elements they have to load in header; but MOST can be loaded at footer. Easy to try, as it only moves things when it’s turned on — so, you can turn it off, and nothing changes. 🙂

Use the jquery rss news ticker … google it.

Install the theme zip file, not the all files zip.

I have used AdRotate for several years. But there are many out there, depending on level of need (e.g., some complex ones let you ‘sell’ ads, and give advertisers stats, etc.).

Local PHP settings on your hosting may not match server over-rides, or hosting panel settings. Normally with any *good* hosting service you should have a hosting panel where you can see/set your PHP settings, version, etc. This is normally where you’d see your *actual* live php settings.

The theme is picking up that info from querying the current php settings as ‘reported’ by the server for your local install.

You can do the same by putting a simple php query file in your public root and then reading that in your web browser.

To read your actual php settings

create an empty text file, name it
phpinfo.php

put this at top of text file, and nothing else

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Put the file in your root directory via FTP (same place your WP install is, or whatever).

Load that via web browser
mysite.efg/phpinfo.php

this will load the actual php settings as reporting by your system, for your specific site as well as overall server settings used by your site.

This should probably be in the them docs someplace, but there you go.

Theme is querying and posting the same data you see running that php ‘query.’ So, theme is not ‘making it up’ from some random info source. 🙂

Hope that helped. I don’t work here.

WHY NOT ROLL BACK TO PRIOR VERSION WHILE LEARNING TO TRANSITION TO NEW VERSION?

ANY MAJOR THEME UPGRADE IS LIKE INSTALLING A NEW THEME; IT IS NOT JUST A BUG/FEATURE UPDATE. RTFM BEFORE UPGRADING THEMES TO MAJOR VERSIONS; DON’T UPGRADE THEMES DURING MISSION CRITICAL AD CAMPAIGNS.

DONT USE VISUAL COMPOSER AND TD COMPOSER AT SAME TIME.

YOU MAY NEED TO RECREATE YOUR LANDING PAGE WITH NEW SETTINGS, IF USING THE NEW VERSION OR CHOOSING TO MOVE TO TD COMPOSER VS VISUAL COMPOSER.

Send email to tagdiv with your purchase code and they can send it to you.

TIP: save copies of your website on your local PC/Mac for safe keeping. Save theme files when you download from ThemeForest.

Well, remember the “theme” is not slow with F Rating — your site/setup is. Two totally different things. You also need to test with adverts off.

You need to do all the stuff noted on GTmetrix for your setup, from time to live, to gzip, to regenerating your images with compression, limiting calls to outside sites as that all slows things down, if using avatar photos use a local gravatar plugin, make sure you have enough RAM allocated, try to avoid plugins that do popups or rolls downs, avoid large background images (anything over 40k will massively slow down a page), consider using web-safe fonts and NOT a bunch of Google fonts; don’t use child theme as it’s a redirect; make sure you’re using PHP 5.6 or higher with opcache turned on (5.4 is a dog and way out of date; 5.2/5.3 are obsolete and should not be used unless no other choice for old code — which doesn’t apply to WordPress). Stuff like that.

Don’t use the lazy load animation on your posts/pages – disable that ‘effect.’ Consider not using the extra modules like related/more from other, or story ‘more to read’ flyout.

Get a good baseline for streamlined site, good page score — then turn on bells and whistles, evaluate the performance hit, and make choices.

I just switched all my AdSense ads to text-only, as I got sick of the 20 stupid crappy image, cookies and poor optimization of Google’s 10 year old image serving system. Their own ad server doesn’t meet modern pagespeed requirements, so why use it?

For example: I just did an install here; starting speed with 78; regenerated all thumbs with a compression factor of 50; switched off Google fonts, and moved to text ads; speed went to 90 with ads ‘on’ ! All that stuff seriously adds up.

Not sure if any of that helps. I was early adopter of Newspaper, Newsmag, and WPion. So, kinda a dinosaur around here. You might find my ancient thread helpful in the documentation > tutorials > DIY > best of forums. Maybe not.

Anyway – I have a 90 score right now, with no caching plugin and have not yet compressed the main style.css or main .js files, which should gain couple of points right there.

Best way to move stuff is using the DUPLICATOR plugin. This allows you to change the web address in all files and WP settings/transients.

Theme doesn’t manage dbase stuff when moving sites; that is not part of what the theme does.

they are often in your hosting control panel under php settings

Theme doesn’t control your permalinks. Likely check the plugin you’re using to add that to the slug for story. Also, try resubmitting your sitemap if you changed your link structure.

simchris

clear cacbe.

clear transients with wp-optimize

resave permalinks

The style should go in your header.php or end of style.css — NOT in the box portion of article template.

You can use the CSS property: margin-bottom:24px;
