You may be using a plugin which sets some content to only be viewed — or not viewed — by people at certain ‘user role’ levels; so if you have a plugin which sets a specific user role to NOT see content — theme has nothing to do with that, it’s the plugin you’re using which is controlling “who can see what” — this is why it happens only when somebody logs in; because that person might be set as “contributor” and your plugin is saying don’t show anybody who is a contributor content type or post type xxx.

So, you need to check your plugin settings; and by disabling them, then logging in as a user, you can see *which* plugin is causing the problem.

Nobody here can help you with THAT, unfortunately.

Yes, you need to either put in responsive code for the graphics, or use a responsive ad unit from the provider. Theme does not “resize” your images loaded from external javascript elements/code. This is normal. Get a responsive ad unit from them, or use the custom code setup to just put in your own code from scratch.

Theme generally expects for its system
a) raw code you place, and it drops in where you say
b) Google AdSense responsive ad units
c) setup two ad units; one for mobile; one for desktop
d) use an ad manager plugin and create your own ad units/spots, and simply place the shortcode into your site templates

Bump does nothing except push things DOWN in the reply queue.

You can learn to minify your main style.css using minification tools online. Google is a great resource for finding things. I use this : https://cssminifier.com/

And yes, if you use ANYTHING loaded externally, like Google Fonts, JetPack, social “likes numbers” on your page, weather widget, ad networks, etc. — all slow down your page as it has to “go fetch” stuff for page to load. So, choosing to NOT use Google fonts is one option.

Using fewer modules per page; meaning no more than 10 thumbnails on sidebar and footer COMBINED will speed things up a lot.

Per GTMetrix
1) optimize your images
2) Adding time to live settings for browser caching, for Woff/Woff2 to your htaccess file as mimetypes is advisable; the other items you can’t do much about as they are on other sites — and will impact your score
3) loading all those elements from Amazon ad services’ CDN is slowing you down
4) removing query strings is advisable

That stuff from share-a-sale is badly optimized.

Generally when setting up your site

* test without ads or external items to get ‘actual’ score for your post page
* then turn on ad systems and external stuff one by one until you can stomach how this affects your side adversely — your ad units are NOT part of the theme so you should complain to them about crappy optimization!

( I don’t work here. )

And just as general note, most ‘ad units’ used online are based on “IAB” standards to identify “common ad unit” sizes with specific dimensions and sizes. Fun to read if you never have.

Might want to check the support forums for WP Super Cache — this theme recommends using it, but doesn’t own/operate it. Same behavior for any theme when using a caching plugin. So, you would need to adjust how the cache works. Check the docs for WP Super Cache for help on that.

I don’t work here, just some quick feedback. Sorry to intrude.

I believe all the ads are normal IAB standard sizes.

I don’t think the PSD for logo would work as it’s flattened if memory serves and doesn’t include the font used.

I don’t work here, just working from memory on that.

(sorry; don’t work here — just post random helpful thoughts much to the delight and sometimes annoyance of others … glad you found it!)

Turn off from theme panel ?

Did you install the theme zip or ‘all files’ zip ?

Did you re-generate all your images, clear all caching, resave permalinks, optimize dbase, etc. ?

Sometimes it’s a time out or permissions issue on server with WordPress.

Best way to install is via FTP to ensure it’s done properly, and you can also make backups as needed!

All the normal ones you would install to use WordPress.

See the WordPress.org ‘codex’ for the requirements for using WordPress.

a) change all your passwords immediately; make sure NOT using any account called ‘admin’; disable XMLRPC in your theme config file; install limit login attempts plugin. See section on WordPress.org about ‘hardening’ WordPress.
b) remove all old/unused plugins and themes
c) make sure you’re on latest version of WP
d) scan site with Securi
e) consider doing clean version of WordPress via FTP; delete old version upload new
f) consider clean install of all plugins and themes via FTP, delete old
g) disable/clear any / all caching plugins completely
h) check your htaccess file for any redirects

Perhaps first disable all ad units in your theme panel or any ad plugin completely, see if ads still generated when doing view source; disable or remove plugins one by one to see if hacked plugin.

Good luck!

Once you clean house, make proper backups for safe keeping.

Best to install via FTP since there appears to be either a timeout issue or permissions issue in the install with WP method.

Working with WP 4.8 here 🙂

Well. You need to read the help on that page, where items like “server” are noted. Only YOU can fix those items as they have nothing to do with the theme.

Stuff like gzip compression is good for 20 points; enabling keep alive (time to live) also needed it looks like; and you need to optimize your images for web or use a plugin to do so like smush.it or similar.

Simply read through the explanations on that page to see how to optimize your server and WordPress install — these need to be done before anything related to theme itself.

Good luck!

Test one of your posts with GTmetrix.com to get suggestions and examples of stuff you need to fix on back end.

I stopped using VC and only use TD.

There were a few things I had to recreate with TD, like a text block, or couple of other things, but not terribly painful.

TIP: make second home ‘page’ as draft; copy over the code from original to copy; then edit while VC is “off” — perhaps on a Saturday, or when traffic is normally low in case errors show up on home page. Then once you have sorted, simply switch static page over to new version/draft.

That’s what I did anyway 🙂

See the theme docs on ‘how to install.’

You want to install just the theme zip, not the ‘all files’ zip.

@ajna2mantra
grow up. Note that this site and this forum are *not* part of ThemeForest where you purchased the item.

Note that TagDiv support has requested you email them your login information so they can *personally* spend their time trying to help you by checking why *your* site is not working properly when MILLIONS of other people are able to activate their purchases via Envato.

I personally have done so on over 50 occasions, with different themes, plugins, etc., without any issues, except for *one* time where there was issue with my local ISP connecting to the API server — not fault of TagDiv OR of Themeforest (TagDiv is not part of Themeforest and only sells this theme via their marketingplace).

Company is not a scam. Your foul language helps no one, and obviously if you go back to your account on Themeforest you can request refund — which I’m sure TagDiv will be happy to ‘accept’ since you don’t want their help in checking your site personally. How can it be a scam if you can get a refund? Or that people have been TRYING to HELP you here? Wow. RTFM.

I don’t work here; but wow, your attitude sucks. So I, for one, hope you get lost!

Have a wonderful day.

Yes, you need to do a search/replace in your MySQL dbase using PhpMyAdmin to replace all instances of http to https in your posts. The theme doesn’t control that in any way.

There are several tutorials online about converting your WP site from http to https, so likely good to go search for those. I did mine years back so don’t have link handy, sorry.

It’s also useful to explicitly put the https URL in your wp-config.php file — see the WordPress.org ‘codex’ (official docs) on how to edit the wp-config.php file.

Learning process – but no ‘automatic’ way to do this for you.

I don’t use VC for much the same reason. However, you might try their new TD Composer …. muuuuuch better and can be used to setup custom blocks/areas on home page, which is what I use it for. Documentation > Newspaper > install theme ?

If you need it site wide, just add the java to the header.php file, then add the div into the category template you’re using.

If it were me, I’d probably do this with ACF and make custom field where you could install that ‘per post’ — then edit the header.php to call the ACF field “if” it’s used. Then in the template(s) you’re using use the “if used” method for ACF field, to add the div ID above the normal post area.

If that makes no sense, probably need to hire a developer.

I don’t work here; but TD might have better answer. 🙂

(I do stuff like this in a custom report platform I built in WP, and using ACF for custom fields per report, where some content is added to post template only if something is actually in the custom field.)

Did you try the ‘social media’ panel in the theme panel?
Did you add social links to the ‘user’ who is writing posts, per author?
Did you see the theme docs (link top of page) for how to use ‘social counter’ if that is what you were asking about?
