    We have recently installed the new Enfold theme on our site and are seeing 2 issues that hopefully you can shed some light on. Site : Link

    1) The pages take a couple of seconds to load. Wondering if you have suggestions to reduce that time. Could be related to the RSS, the redirect category addon, or it could be something else ?
    2) All of the Podcast links are not working now that we loaded the new Enfold theme. They did before. Any specific setup that needs to be done ? Also, also, can the generic gray musical note pictures can be changed ?

    Thanks,
    Mips.

    Hey mips1000!

    It seems to be loading fast for me.

    I like to use this tool, https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/, to look into ways for optimizing because it gives you suggestions on what you can do.

    Best regards,

    1) With the Enfold theme, we lost all the “Podcast” links that used to show a play option slider to listen to the podcast. Is there anything in the Enfold theme that needs to be setup to enable the podcasts ?

    2) The Podcast item has next to it a default graphics from the Enfold theme, of a gray musical note, as the image of that item. Is there a way to “change” that default image ?

    3) Regarding the slow load time of the pages of the site, do you think it is from the Enfold theme ? Or do you think it is because there are 3 different RSS feeds that are trying to load ? Or do you think that the site is hosted on a slow server ? Any ideas ?

    Thanks,
    Mips

    Hey!

    1. & 2.
    Add a featured image in the post entry.

    Insert your audio as a media in a text box if you are using Advanced Layout builder. And set post format to audio.

    You can also try some plugins like http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/free-wordpress-audio-player-plugins/

    3. Enfold theme is designed to load fast. Your page speed depends on many other factors please check the private link and you have some suggestions from google page speed and pingdom when you can improve the page speed. one of the major areas is image optimization and js files.

    Regards,
    Vinay
