Hi,

In order for us to help you, please include a URL to the particular page where you are experiencing this problem. Since each page can be created in a number of different ways , and due to many updates, it is simply not possible to provide you with a meaningful solution without first seeing the page with the live code. A screen capture will not help. What you can do is hide the url to your site by using the http://www.goo.gl url shortner.

Thanks,

Nick

Hi,

You need to view source to get the particular ID numbers of various elements. The code below will only target the home page

#top.home .flex_column.av_one_fourth.first.avia-builder-el-0.avia-builder-el-first {

border: 1px solid green;

}

#top.home .flex_column.av_one_fourth.avia-builder-el-4.el_after_av_one_fourth {

border: 1px solid blue;

}

#top.home .flex_column.av_one_fourth.avia-builder-el-8.el_after_av_one_fourth {

border: 1px solid orange;

}

#top.home .flex_column.av_one_fourth.avia-builder-el-12.el_after_av_one_fourth {

border: 1px solid red;

}

Please add this to your /css/custom.css or to Quick CSS

Thanks,

Nick

Hi,

You can use this plugin to maximize the search power of your website: SearchWP

Refer to this link in order to integrate the plugin on ajax search: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/use-searchwp-instead-of-the-standard-search/

Thanks,

Hi,

Devin is correct. You are using an outdated version of the theme, with 4 updates released since your version.

Thanks,

Hi,

You officially have the slowest site I have visited this year. http://www.webpagetest.org/result/130812_XP_N9Z/1/details/

It takes 15 seconds of wait before your website even displays something when it normally should take 1.5-2.5 seconds. which tells me that you are either being hosted on the world’s most busiest and oversold server in Botswana or you pay 50 cents a year for hosting.

What I can guarantee is that based on that speed (you are slower than 99.999% of websites), Google will give you a huge penalty in search results since speed is one of the important components of how it ranks websites. Also, most people will not wait nearly 2 minutes for a website to load since a recent poll showed that 20% of visitors refuse to even wait over 3 seconds.

You put in a lot of time and thought into this (i put in some as well, lol) so here is what you should do.

1) Get an FTP program and connect to your /wp-content/uploads/ folder and find there the folders which contain images. Download them all to your desktop. then you should optimize them. Please remember that JPG format is made for photos , for big sized images and PNG format is more for vector/digital art , transparencies and small objects like buttons, etc…

---

Rules

No image at all should be over 100K that loads with the page. Each page should be no more than 1.5Megs maximum. (Yours http://www.ancientskies.info/ancientskies/ancient_skies_multimedia_gallery/ is 15 Megs which makes it about 1/2 the size of the browser you are using).

—-FOR PNG

for png optimization please go here http://tinypng.org/ and 20 at a time , optimize all the images found in the folder i mentioned above.

—FOR JPG

Go here http://jpeg-optimizer.com/ (it has a resizer, but if you do not need that, just unclick the checkbox for size but keep the optimization settings how the website advices (only 2 choices so its easy).

When you are done with the images, and emptied any cache you may have , run the test from the website i first mentioned.

—-Please install a cache plugin Super Cache and configure it after your launch *(do not use this while developing or you will not see the changes you made).

Only at that point if the time to first byte remains higher than 1 second would I contact your host to explain why you keep seeing turtles and snails consistently outrun you.

the issue you are experiencing (and me as well when i try to view your site using chrome dev tools) is directly related to this issue since you are still loading things 90 seconds after connecting.)

Each ‘thumbnail’ on that page is over 400K in size when they should be 20-40k. Photoshop is horrible at optimizing images since the do not do lossless optimisation just lossy (and not very well).

Thanks,

Nick

Hi,

Please add the css below to Quick CSS or to /css/custom.css

@media only screen and (max-width:989px) and (min-width:768px) {

.responsive .mobile_slide_out .logo img {

position:relative;

right:5px;

top:-6px;

}

.main_menu {

bottom:-40px;

right:-20px;

}

.main_menu .menu ul {

position:absolute;

top:85px;

}

li .avia-menu-fx,.current-menu-item>a>.avia-menu-fx,li .current_page_item>a>.avia-menu-fx {

position:absolute;

top:84px;

}

li:hover .avia-menu-fx,.current-menu-item>a>.avia-menu-fx,li:hover .current_page_item>a>.avia-menu-fx {

position:absolute;

top: 84px;

}

}

if you need to change things simply use this as a template

Thanks,

Nick

Hi,

Please use this css and place it into quick css or /css/custom.css

.big-preview {

padding: 0 0px 0px 0px;

}

Your problem is that the theme should be resizing that image to a proper size and instead it doesnt do that. Normally the square image shape is attached to this location. So what you need to do is install Simple Image Sizes plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-image-sizes/ and then go to Settings > Media find the square image settings (or whichever you changed to) , and make the settings have a set width of 710px and make the height 9999px and make sure that there is no crop. Always upload images wider than 710px and you will have no problems since the height will also resize proportionally to the 710 width and will look fine.

Do the same for gallery on Settings > Media (dont forget to install the plugin , it will save you hours of frustration)

Thanks,

Nick

Hi Jorge,

Terribly sorry for the delay. It’s my fault entirely and I apologize to you.

1) This will remove the scroll bar , please add it to quick css located in enfold > (theme options) > styling layout at bottom of page … the text area…. OR.. you can paste it to the bottom of the /cs//custom.css file

#top .widget ul {

margin-left: 4px !important;

}

2) The reason for the difference is that one type of button is actually a button (the html input button element for forms) while the other is a pseudo-button – basically a div and style html elements that are made up to resemble and act as a button..

So you like the look as the blue button on your website in the footer ‘Enviar’ ?

Well the easiest thing to do would be for you to add the following structure whenever you want to create a button such as this. It may not be a short-code but here you go. Please add this to quick css (see above for instructions)

#top .new-button .blue-btn{

background-color: #2F83CC;

color: #FFF;

border-color: #2F83CC;

margin: 0;

padding: 16px 50px;

border-radius: 2px;

cursor: pointer;

border: none;

-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;

-webkit-appearance: none;

-ms-transition: all 0.3s ease-out;

-moz-transition: all 0.3s ease-out;

-webkit-transition: all 0.3s ease-out;

-o-transition: all 0.3s ease-out;

transition: all 0.3s ease-out;

}

#top .new-button .blue-btn:hover {

background-color: #AAA;

color: #222;

border-color: #AAA;

}

#top .new-button {

margin: 10px;

padding: 22px 0px;

border-radius: 53px;

cursor: pointer;

border: 1px;

-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;

-webkit-appearance: none;

-ms-transition: all 0.3s ease-out;

-moz-transition: all 0.3s ease-out;

-webkit-transition: all 0.3s ease-out;

-o-transition: all 0.3s ease-out;

transition: all 0.3s ease-out;

width: 100px;

}

and when you need that blue button just add the following to your editor (in text view) You will need to replace (1) URL (2) What the Button Should say

<a href="HTTP://WWW.REPLACE.ME"><div class='new-button'><span class='blue-btn'>CLICK ME REPLACE</span></div>

Thanks,

Nick

Hi,

You need to signup for Google Webmasers Tools https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home?hl=en&pli=1

Once you are all set , you will be able to see how your site is indexed by google as well as lots of other info. One of the menu options is to submit a map. Sitemap is generated by Yoast plugin and the instructions are on the Chrome dev tools page. You may also want to sign up to google analytics http://www.google.com/analytics/ and then you will be able to link up to your Chrome WEbmaster Tools account with Analytics to really get good data on where and how visitors find your website.

Thanks,

Nick

Hi,

@wackyadvent

Do you know what “Disk Enchanced mode can’t work with “Default” permalinks structure” means?

Yes, it means you should be using Super Cache with Better WordPress Minify and not W3TC. Default permalink structure is when in Settings > Permalinks you have the very first radio button (default) set so there are no pretty permalinks just ?pageid=340 at the end of the url.

@enester1

I see the slider on the page linked to from your name is turned off. Please dont use gif images especially for photographs. Gif is no longer being supported as Compuserve in the past demanded royalties for using it, and thats when PNG format was created specifically to replace GIF format. All photos should be in JPG format. Please convert your image and see if it starts working.

Thanks,

Nick

Hi,

You can resolve this issue by adding the following to the very end of the youtube video url you are embedding.

First you need to see if the url of the video already has a querry string at the end of the url . Use either 1 or 2 from below depending on how your video embed url looks

1) Embed URL has a query string:

If you are embedding a video url which is in a format similar to this: https://www.youtube.com/embed/syhLY_fGRLU?feature=player_detailpage … the ?feature=player_detailpage at the end is the query string. So if you have a question mark , some word, and equal sign at the end of your embed url (?feature=player_detail) the words can be different but the format (?something=something) is whats important. If you see that format in the url you are embedding than you need to add the following to the very end of the url

&wmode=transparent

https://www.youtube.com/embed/syhLY_fGRLU?feature=player_detailpage&wmode=transparent

---

2) No query string at end of embed url

However if there is no query string, such as in this url ( https://www.youtube.com/embed/syhLY_fGRLU ) … there is no ( ?something=something ) at the end of the url.( Compare this youtube URL to the first youtube example.) So if there is no query string, then add the following to the end of the url

?wmode=transparent

https://youtube.com/watch?v=syhLY_fGRLU%3Fwmode%3Dtransparent

Hi,

It is I who must apologize to you for failing to see the link to your website. My opthamologist said I may need an eye replacement procedure one day but I always hoped that this need would arise when bionic implants were more socially acceptable. ;) Sorry again.

What I was asking for is a link to a page in your website where you have already inserted an image that you plan to use as your background so that i can use css to place it in position. Since the theme has 5 different headers, I am not sure how to help you without seeing the actual page on your website so that I can provide you with the code. But yes it is possible to do what you are asking.

Thanks,

Nick

Hi,

Do you have a url where we can see the entire code as it is difficult to guess your exact setup with so many possibilities. You can use http://www.goo.gl to keep the url private.

Thanks,

Nick

Any time!

Enjoy the theme

Thanks,

Nick
