Background Image X2

[benyamindavis]

Wonderful Theme! I am enjoying using and it and learning more!

I am wondering (and hoping) if it is possible to have two background images at once, activated in the Theme Options/Layout Settings/-Background. This would give the ability to have a top background image that remains stationary (or Parallax) at the top of the page, but have a second background texture that shows on the background on the sides of the boxed site. The top most image would be visible across the site, using the transparent menu settings (see screenshot attached of example from another other site). On the example, you can see the background image that stays at the top of the page, a texture used as a repeated image, and the content top image/slider that is placed in the page content.

Second, did the 3.13 update fix the BuddyPress issue of not being able to post an activity? Once someone logs in, they can see the post button, but if they go back to it after fixing something else, the button is gone and no activity can be posted.

I’m sorry, but I have one more question:

Do you know of a reason why I would be continuously getting a “Lost Connection” message, or my site would be dragging very slow at times? It’s not all the time, only when I make a few updates. Then, it slows to a crawl or stops working for a few minutes. I’ve checked with my web host and they cannot see a problem from their side. I’ve seen some forums that suggest it could be WordPress code.

I was wondering if you have seen this and if you know of a solution.

Thanks again!

Hello, you can use revolution slider as the background for the header ( a full-width slider )
Can you share admin credentials so i can check out the issue?

I have narrowed down the Lost Connection issue to Visual Composer. When I turn off JavaScript in my browser’s preferences, my site runs really fast! But, VC doesn’t work. I read that the code below can be added to the child theme functions.php file, but that did not help me, either.

add_action(‘admin_head’, function(){

$user_page = get_current_screen();
if( $user_page->post_type == ‘post’ || $user_page->post_type == ‘page’ ) {

?>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
jQuery.ajaxSetup({
beforeSend : function(xhr, setting) {
if( setting.data == ‘action=wpb_single_image_src’ || setting.data == ‘action=heartbeat’) {
xhr.abort();
return false;
}
}
});
</script>
<?php

}

});

This issue is really bogging everything down. Any help in how to fix it would be so appreciated.

Hi,

Is known for the Visual Composer to be heavy but I’ve didn’t heard of such issues till now, maybe you have a bad connection between your location and your hosting server, or maybe you need a better hosting.

Please let us know if you managed to achieve what you needed with the backgrounds, did Laura advices worked ?

Looking forward.

Thanks Andrei,

This is what I’ve found:

Most of the lost connection issue took place when using Visual Composer, AND when trying to set an image as a featured image or in visual composer. It happened other times, too, but those seemed to be the big triggers, repeatedly.

I found one obscure post on a forum that mentioned the Heartbeat API that was tied into WordPress 3.6.X. I used a Heartbeat API plugin named “Heartbeat Control.” I just turned off all the sync settings wear WordPress was trying to keep posts (and other pages) in sync with the server by making backups. I haven’t had an issue with a lost connection since (about 4 days now). It still slows way down when using Visual Composer.

I am not on a managed hosting system and am wondering if that would help the speed of my site and backend work.

If you know a better way to fix the latency issue with Visual Composer, please let me know. I do not understand why it slows down so much when selecting media. My media is generally saved for web (optimized) and the slow issue always happens when media is being selected.

Visual Composer is a very ajax intensive application that does lots of requests in order to build it’s drag and drop interface for each element in part. The good thing is that it will only affect your site during the usage of the page builder, and it doesn’t affect the loading time for your site visitors.

A hosting upgrade might provide you faster loading speeds and you’ll most probably notice a small improvement, but as I’ve said this doesn’t have impact for your visitors so with other words if you can live with it then maybe you don’t need to upgrade your hosting yet.

Cheers
