Hello Devs!
I am making this dashboard for my logged in users where hey can navigate to different parts of the website.
So my main issue is that ##profile_link##profile/ is not working for the ACCOUNT button in the following picture. I want users to be redirected to their profile from that button
Also, how can I create a Forums page? Any shortcode for that?
Hi,
Thanks for contacting us about creating a dashboard. If I understand you correctly you’re trying to use the ##profile_link## menu feature in the main body of the page? If so this will not work as the feature is for menus only.
With regards to forums once you have added some they will appear here https://www.nomadtravelclub.com/forums/, however, if you wish to call the full forum, parts of the forum etc on other pages you can use the included bbPress shortcodes to render content. See here for a full list of available shortcodes https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/.
Thanks,
Kieran

Yep I am using this feature for the main page body and it is not working so what else can I use to redirect users to their Profile?
Thanks for the info on the forums. I was able to take control of that.
But I need this profile redirection from body to be working so please help me achieving that.
Thanks!
Hi,
Glad you have the forums working. The ##profile_link## feature is working as intended as it is not designed to be used outside of the menu architecture. I do not have a solution for you immediately and this will take custom PHP code to implement such a function.
You will need to contact a developer about building a solution that suits your custom needs. If you wish you may also contact one of our developers who will be happy to discuss your needs. You can do so by emailing dev@seventhqueen.com with as much information about your custom request as possible.

One more thing. Where is the option to let every user create a new forum?
Currently it seems only admins can create one as I logged in from a user account and I got this “You cannot create new forums.”
Also, I am using Godaddy hosting and the loading time of website is awful.
I can’t use Cache plugin yet because it makes changing certain things too hard and for every change you have to clear the cache.
What else can I do?Hi,
Do you mean forums or topics?
If you mean topics any user can create a topic when they visit a forum.
If you mean forums, and I would highly recommend you do not do this without serious anti spam / moderation systems etc in place, then you will need to install a WordPress role plugin. Once installed you will be able to duplicate the role of ‘Participant’ and check the capability to allow forum creation. You will need to assign this role as the default role in bbPress settings and update any existing user who has the old role.
After this you users will be able to create forums via the back-end or you can do this via the front-end with plugins like Contact Form 7, Caldera Forms, Gravity Forms etc. The instructions for each are different and you will need to research the best way to achieve this.
Of course, away from this users will still be able to create forums with their groups with no coding required so long as you allow it in settings.
From my personal experience I can tell you GoDaddy’s hosting and speed is not good. I tried to run a report for you on https://gtmetrix.com to give you a better idea of things you can do away from changing provider or installing caching to help with speed – unfortunately your site is currently loading too slowly to measure with this tool. Try this tool later on in the day to see if you can generate a report – once it has you will see each item can be opened with an explanation as well as steps to remedy the issues.
Thanks,
Kieran

Hmm. So I was trying to let users create new forums on the FORUM INDEX which bbpress does not allow. Users can only create new forums inside a specific topic. So that I cn achieve now and confusion is over.
Now, if you were to refer me a hosting service, which one would that be? I want this website to load faster and as you said it has an awful loading time right now.
Hi,
Depending where in the world you are and whether or not you need managed / unmanaged.
– SiteGround is a very popular choice, I even hosted with them for a while but moved away due to cost after year 1. They’re a fully managed host with built in free CDN and caching at the server level
– CloudWays they are a layer service for bare-bones cloud hosts like Vultr, DigitalOcean, Google Cloud etc. they offer a nice interface and okay support. The price you pay for resources received is impressive. CDN integration is $1 USD extra per month.
– Kinsta – I haven’t used this host but comes highly recommended by many WordPress developers that I know who use it. It is expensive so be warned.
– WP Engine – I haven’t used this host but comes highly recommended by many WordPress developers that I know who use it. It is expensive so be warned.
* You should make sure you carry out your own research of the companies, their services and customer reviews

Hi Kieran
Here is the reort from GTmatrix
https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.nomadtravelclub.com/uGVi0YKP
Kindly help me in loading speeds. My hosting is running fine and the site is using only 30% resources from there. After running these tests, I see most of these errors are the features of theme themselves
Hi,
Thanks for sharing the URL to your report. To be clear none of the issues stated in the report are actually an error in the theme. I will breakdown some of the important pieces of information for you from the report but it is your responsibility to manage your own site performance.
Tab: Waterfall (times)
TTFB was 3.7s on this report, that is the time taken for the server to acknowledge that there is a request for content. This should at most be 0.3s. This is not something you will be able to adjust but it is something your host should look into for you.
TTFB via ByteCheck was 6.6s at the time of writing this
Tab: PageSpeed
– Serve scaled images
Your logo is excessively large and should be reduced dramatically in size. Currently the file is 3317 x 1632 px try resizing to 250 x X px
– Defer parsing of JavaScript
You can install any number of plugins for free from the WordPress plugin repository to handle this for you. This is not something that should be done by a theme. Make sure to test thoroughly when deferring scripts.
– Leverage browser caching
Caching is needed on your site, but as per your earlier reply you are unable to have caching currently
– Optimize images
By default WordPress optimizes images as .jpeg or .png (24) at 92%, you can install third party plugins like Smush etc for free from the WordPress plugin repository to handle this for you
– Specify a cache validator
See here for more information on this https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/specify-a-cache-validator/
– Minify JavaScript
Again there are a plethora of plugins that will do this for you. You may wish to try Autoptimize, which is free in the WordPress plugin repository.
Tab: YSlow
– Add Expires headers
Implement this as per the help section on the report https://gtmetrix.com/add-expires-headers.html
– Make fewer HTTP requests
91 JavaScript files and 41 CSS stylesheets. This is most likely due to the amount of plugins you have installed and are being called without reason on the homepage. Minify / Combine JavaScript and CSS as per the suggestion above (Autoptimize) to reduce this. Also look into using plugins like WP Asset Cleanup to remove files from being called on X pages or X post types when they’re not required.
– Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN)
Implement at the host level, especially so if your customers are a fair distance from your server OR are located in more than one country / continent.
– Minify JavaScript and CSS
As per above
Note
Implement an SSL on your site, this will enable HTTP2 and parallel downloads which will speed up your site considerably. It will also encrypt data to and from your site and is required of any site that handles login information by June 2018 (Google Chrome / Firefox)
Thanks,
Kieran

Hi Keiran!
I spent all day today making changes and doing things the way GT was proposing. Before starting, my results were these https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.nomadtravelclub.com/WUo0qYaS and after I have done the optimization, my results are these https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.nomadtravelclub.com/iAgL1icb
But there are still somethings that need fixing and improving them will further increase the performance of the website. You, being a technical person can better guide me since now 90% of the errors are gone from the site and it is already fast for now. Please suggest me what I can do to make these things better.
I am planning to use CDN and currently I am using W3 Total Cache which will handle CDN for me once I register there.
Hi,
Congrats, speed increased considerably. I see your Time to First Byte (TTFB) is now under 1s at 954ms which is good.
In the second report, check the waterfall tab, you’ll see there are six instances of /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php being called, this is a perfectly legitimate call but it is taking 10s to 13s to load each instance and once instance of /?wc-ajax=get_refreshed_fragments which is taking 6s to load.
You will need to talk to your host about exploring why the server is taking so long to load these files. They’ll have profiling tools that should expose the issue.
If you do not plan on using WooCommerce (selling products) then you should disable the plugin. If you do plan on using WooCommerce then a simple fix for the landing page could be to go to WP Admin > Pages and edit your homepage, on the far right of the page you will see an option to disable the cart on this page. You can check this option to remove the menu cart on this page only.

Okay. Will keep that in mind but there is one issue that I need help with. Currently, we are having B score on yslow and pagespeed because of javascripts being minified but the Slider rev is not working
I played with the settings of Auto Optimize and here is what I get
1) Turning Javascript Minification makes revslider obselete. It won’t load.
2) excluding script from Autoptimize Load the slider but theme features stop and the performance scores go to C and D
Currently I am not Optimizing Javascripts at all and you can see the scores yourself.
Can you point me to the right direction in this regard?
On this report https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.nomadtravelclub.com/0Owp7lxM
Pagespeed Tab: How can I fix this [650.6KiB of JavaScript is parsed during initial page load. Defer parsing JavaScript to reduce blocking of page rendering]
SeverSources from a single URL? Only main logo is making that problem. How can I fix this?
On Yslow, there are some expiry header problem. I added some in the morning in .htaccess but it is still showing problems.
How to make fewer HTTP requests by JAVA?
I am not asking about complete solutions. Just point me in the right direction and I’ll manage then
Hi,
All of the remaining scripts cannot be altered as they’re not on your server
COPY CODEhttps://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,400,600,700,800|Raleway:100,200,300,400,500,600,700,800,900|Droid+Serif:400,700|Roboto+Condensed:300 https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?&language=en&key=AIzaSyDViFQaDBjSHAhlNAHUOnUeqIuVTiaoUGo https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Raleway:400%2C300%2C500 https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js https://www.facebook.com/impression.php/f2ba77b306f518/?api_key=190090068388950&lid=115&payload=%7B%22source%22%3A%22jssdk%22%7DLooking at the list the only real optimization I can see that you can do is use one or two less fonts, currently you have three. Two is considered the maximum that should be loaded for performance.
Single URL is coming from the logo using http and not https. The easiest solution is to go to WP Admin > Media and delete your current logo, then go to Theme Options and upload your logo again now that your site is running https.
The method you’re using to defer JavaScript is not catching the following external files.
COPY CODEhttps://cdn.ckeditor.com/4.5.3/standard/ckeditor.js (443.6KiB) https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/gsap/1.11.2/TweenMax.min.js (85.9KiB) https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?&language=en&key=AIzaSyDViFQaDBjSHAhlNAHUOnUeqIuVTiaoUGo (69.9KiB) https://staticxx.facebook.com/connect/xd_arbiter/r/Ms1VZf1Vg1J.js?version=42 (35.9KiB of inline JavaScript)Either the the plugin is failing to find them for X reason or is purposely ignoring them for compatibility. Please reach out to the developer for assistance with this.
With regards to the Slider Revolution, I cannot find a fix for this after excluding the scripts for you. I will ask one of our developers to look into this for you. They’ll be in touch as soon as they can, Monday to Friday, East European Time.
Thanks,
Kieran

For the website though, The slider on the main page seems not to be working on mobile devices. From what I am able to detect is that slider loads but is covered with the image so it doesnot appear working. Is that something you can help me with or guide me in a direction?
The link to the website is http://www.nomadtravelclub.com
