Yes. We have always used the html file here, as it’s theme agnostic and won’t ever need to be done again.

Why not roll back to prior version while you get things sorted and read the documentation on what changed between the MAJOR version change going from v7 to v8?

That way you lose nothing.

what I do is put my custom style at the end of my main style.css file … seems to work best 🙂

I found putting my custom styles at the end of the style.css file fixes that. But your mileage may vary, as I like to say 🙂

I always change the blockquote style, too. I’d prefer a medium size bold+italic as default and flush left, but somebody at TD loves the giant centered ALL CAPS thing.

Yes, well, people answer stuff in order received …
you might need to provide way more info — like, link to page ?

Did you check F12/console for javascript errors?

Did you look at your page source to see what is actually “on your page” to see if you have an undefined div around your element? Bad code, etc.?

Did you specify how those widgets were setup – plugin? Raw HTML code, etc?

What browser used?

What steps did you try to fix it??

Also doing “bumps” here actually pushes stuff to back of queue, not the top.

(I don’t work here. Just long time user.)

Probably need a plugin – see the various plugins for stuff like this on WordPress.org — many of the ‘best’ app conversion plugins charge and are not free, but Google it and you’ll find many!

( WPBakery puts that stupid ‘nag screen’ there even with bundled legal licensed versions – they still try to promote their own business the same way YOAST does even with the Premium version. TD used to be able to hide that, if memory served, but finally gave up ad WPB kept messing with the code for that. )

WordPress doesn’t have ‘tags’ built in for pages; so probably simplest way is via a plugin, or using custom fields. Or the ACF plugin (what I use). I actually use ACF to make a custom sub-head section after title, before post, where I can put in HTML if I want. I place the ACF field in the page template.

But at base level — ‘tags’ are not part of theme, but part of WordPress — so you may notice no option on page editor for tags, as WP doesn’t include them by default.

I don’t have a simpler solution; but perhaps simple ‘filter’ for functions.php to ‘add tag support to pages’ is available? I did this to add ‘excerpts’ – actually.

Not sure any of that is specific enough. Don’t work here. Stuck waiting on bunches of things to run this week, and killing time on dozen websites since I’m trapped here for awhile. 🙂

You need to set the minimum RAM for WP to 64M in your wp-config.php file.
Check the ‘settings’ checkup in theme panel for more info.

This is most common issue. Also possibly some bad plugins not updated (e.g., Yoast SEO had bugs breaking things; make sure updated, etc.).

Also try clearing transients with wp-optimize plugin.

AND: consider using the ‘limit logins’ plugin to stop hackers; *and* also consider disabling XMLRPC — as this can cause hackers to overload your server trying to post pingbacks or spam comments, etc.

All that stuff impacts ability for PHP to ‘work’ for your site — unrelated to the theme specifically.

Not sure any of that helps — but been suffering this stuff over here with WP for 12 years now, so kinda been hit by everything at one point or another.

🙂

What I do is make custom sidebar for posts, different one for pages, and different one for categories. That way I can have sidebar ad on posts, but not on pages, and on pages highlight company/site info, social and links to other pages as primary sidebar elements.

One option anyway 🙂

Simplest fix is to use raw HTML box and put your text in there, wrap in a div and then use a custom CSS class.

e.g.,
<div class="myboxy">Exciting Stuff In Here!</div>

.myboxy{padding:10px;border:1px solid #CCC;text-align:center;color:#AB0000;}

or similar 🙂

I use the Auto Post Thumbnail PRO to make a ‘featured image’ from external source. You still need all the thumbs ‘locally’ to serve in modules. SO, there has to be a ‘featured image’ in place to build those thumbs. Since theme uses built-in thumb image building for WP, works if it works with WP. So, as long as you can get your external image “into the featured image” box seen on the post edit screen it should work.

( I don’t work here. )

Yeah. Microsoft XML encoding for web version appears different than the home perpetual version so it seems the content box built-in to WP can’t “convert” properly using the visual editor.

Likely worth posting a note to github repo for WP development, as issue with the TinyMCE editor, and not any theme element.

No. You really don’t get it?
A licensed/bundled version is included with the theme, and is sub-licensed by the theme developer (who is paying WPBakery to do so) to include with the theme (as with hundreds of themes on ThemeForest which do the same thing).

You get a license to include the plugin with the theme use only; not on multiple sites; and it’s only updated with the theme updates.

You do *not* get a separate PAID license for the plugin from WPBakery — which would include support and updates from them — as WPB only getting very small license fee, and no money from you directly — so you don’t get a paid license from them as you have not paid them anything. That is how licensing works.

No need to be snotty — as nobody will try to educate you if you’re a dick about learning about things you don’t understand.

I don’t work here, but am part of the 4 years of user support where we all try to help one another from our own projects, tips, tricks, customizations, etc.

It’s not a pirate version. Clearly you need to dial it down and listen to what has been posted and what is clearly noted in the theme documentation.

Have a wonderful day!

As noted, use CSS.

For example, if you put an ad div into an ad unit, do something like

<div class="mysidebarazunit">
my ad code as javascript or HTML
</div>

.mysidebarazunit {margin-top:10px;text-align-center;width:100%;height:auto;}

You can also do the above using simple text widget for sidebar ads.

Or, even use an ad manager plugin and use ad manager widget from plugin to do things like random ads, etc.

Dunno. Try changing your category template settings?

Clear transients with WP-optimize — resave permalinks.

Then try disabling any plugin that adds stuff like cookie popups, or similar that might be interfering with page render.

Often it’s a typo in something added to theme panel.

Dunno if this helps, but with Word Online and WP, I found you would need to first do a ‘save as’ to UTF-8 with character substitution as a .txt file; then copy THAT file text into WP editor in the text mode.

You have your posts inside folder/category:

https://www.nova.ie/latest_news/mumford-sons-longitude-weekend-marlay/

If you don’t want the category as part of slug, you’d need to use a custom function to strip that out.

Make sure you update to version of VC included with NP8, and do *not* activate TD Composer, as you can’t use both at same time (it’s one or the other).

TDC is included with Newspaper 8 and doesn’t need to be downloaded from the WPION site.

Look in the all files/plugins folder for the ‘all files’ Newspaper 8 download from your Themeforest account. There may also now be a ‘plugins’ option in the latest NP8 theme panel to install it from there.

Use the version included with NP8, and not the WPION version anymore!!

( I don’t work here, but I use TDC on all our sites. )

Plugin is ‘bundled version’ and so is included with theme; but does not include separate paid license. You do not need to ‘activate license’ to use it, so can ignore the nag screen.

I think this is the YT plugin I use — it might not work with the video template; dunno. Only using it for vids placed into posts.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-youtube-lyte/

Simplest thing is to recreate home page – or use your backup of your post page text.

( I don’t work here. )

And – obviously for speed testing; try a post without 20 videos on it — just normal post with local photo(s); etc. — that is your ‘baseline’

video posts slower as video has to come from outside your site; same with ads, etc. — you can do some tricky bits with that; I have a YT plugin which makes a thumb, and loads nothing from YT until clicked on, which is neato for that.

yep…. I usually recommend testing page speed with ‘ads off’ — as this tells you what your actual baseline is, and then you can decide how much you want to wreck with ads and other external junk. 🙂

I am literally in another browser tab right now changing my adsense ads from text+images to “text only” to see if that helps at all. Sheesh. Turned on 2 ad spots just now and went from 90+ to 78 .. and went WTF??? 25 little bits of crap from ad units, graphics, pixels, blah blah. Hideous. Google needs to clean house on their ad units other than text, as it’s just awful — up to 20 point hit now running two banner ads from AdSense. Insane!!!! #WAHH
