    Yeah, well my site is totally screwed up now. I tried mod_rewrite and had problems, so I tried to to back to PHP, but mod_rewrite apparently writes rules that cannot be changed. It said something about having to make changes to the htaccess file. None of my pages will open now, other than the front page. I get this message when I try to open a page from the front menu or page preview in the admin panel:

    Not Found
    The requested URL /about-itoto-house/ was not found on this server.
    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    Stupid me! I shouldn’t mess with things I don’t understand.

    I think that just happened to me too! It slowed way down after I updated, but I didn’t put it together. I tried to change some settings in my Super Cache plugin and I think I now screwed up my htaccess file as well. I’ve had Kleo for almost a year now and it’s been a continual pain.

    tattoobooksonline:

    Obviously the rtMedia plugin is conflicting with something. What theme are you using – Kleo? The moderators here might be able to help you. You probably also need to try the old standby of turning plugins off and on, to see what is conflicting.

    Did you install and setup WP SuperCache? That helped the most.

    My host server techs also bumped my php ini limit up to 1024 (1 gb). You could see if your host will do that also. It helped.

    Thank you. While waiting for a response I did a few things that have seemed to help quite a bit. Following is a list that may be helpful to others:

    Decrease WordPress Site Loading Times
    Courtesy of HostMetro.com Support!

    1) Upgrade your WordPress installation to the latest version if you haven’t already.
    This goes for themes as well. Remove any themes you are not using.
    2) Remove all nonessential plugins. Make sure the remaining are upgraded.
    3) Only activate plug-ins that are needed.
    For example, you don’t need to activate a theme previewing plug-in if you are not planning to change a theme. You don’t need to activate a WordPress database backup plug-in if you are not auto-scheduling a backup, and so on.
    4) Install WP SuperCache if you haven’t already. [Most Important One]
    It is clear that the WP SuperCache has great performance while having the lowest overall resource hit on the server. It should always be using the least amount of memory and CPU time that it possibly can.
    5) Reduce PHP/Database calls as much as you can.
    Most CPU usage is caused by the number of PHP and database calls. Using WP SuperCache helps this tremendously, but sometimes it can’t be helped that your blog still has to do some PHP/Database calls. If you can reduce it though, do it. For example if a plug-in allows you to set an option whether to write a log or not (like number of spam comments caught, etc.), then disable it. This will reduce the number of database insertion/update calls.
    6) Reduce the number of widgets and other components as much as possible.
    Although putting a weather widget or other widgets are cool, do you really need them? Besides cluttering your blog and turning visitors off, it can also put a strain on the server. Turn them off!
    7) Repair and optimize your database.
    It is updated a lot of times throughout the day, whether you’ve posted or not. There’s a lot of chance for errors there. The process can be completed through phpMyAdmin.
    8) Close any Post Writing Pages when you’re not using them.
    WordPress will Auto-Save and it uses server resources and builds up CPU usage.
    9) Turn off the Formatting Options in Settings
    In WordPress, under Settings->Writing uncheck both Formatting options. Especially turn off “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically”.
    10) Don’t post via e-mail/word.
    Write your posts in the Write interface and copy/paste it into Word when you’re done or when you take a break. Don’t make WP spend time parsing your Word file.
    11) Use Summaries in Feeds.
    Under Settings->Reading, select use “Summaries in Feeds”.
    12) Under Settings-Discussion, turn off any e-mail notifications you don’t need.
    Especially redundant ones. If you go to your site often, don’t worry about having it e-mail you for comments. Just turn that off.
    13) Reduce image/graphics/video/flash sizes.
    Use Photoshop, Gimp, etc. to reduce the image size.
    14) Rename the file wp-cron.php to wp-cron.php.bak.

    I looked at the wp-config.php file in the itoto.org root folder and I could not find any lines containing a definition for memory limit.

    Could it be in another folder/file? The pages are still slow loading and my client and site users are complaining.

    Thank you!

    My host provider increased the “virtual memory limit” yesterday and that seems to have fixed the errors, although page loads are still a bit slow. You may have tried to reproduce the errors after that was done. Is virtual memory what you were referring to, or will increasing the php memory limit help to further speed up page loads and otherwise improve the performance of the site?

    I attached a pdf with sequential screenshots over a 20 minute period.

    My host server tech support is also looking at this issue.

    It all revolves around Revolution Slider.

    I’m having a nightmare with Revolution Slider!! Nothing works correctly. I keep getting a message saying “Ajax Error”, but nothing else.

    Okay… what custom restrictions are you referring to?

    Are there any known conflicts with the “Private Content” plugin?

    Please provide me with a list of any third party content or user restriction plugins that integrate well with your Kleo theme.

    Thank you.

    Okay, well if you’re just going to ignore me, I will have to let people know. I’ve tried really hard to work with you and be patient.

     scottmriley

    How about this? I create the content, insert the images, include links in the directory page to the profiles pages, and create each profile page. Is there a way to just restrict access to those pages to certain membership levels?

     scottmriley

    Hi Andrei,

    Thank you for your response. My client cannot afford to pay a developer for custom code. I was hoping that there was a simpler method, as this is not all that complicated. You advertise this theme’s community / membership features as the “best”, so I would think this type of function would be pretty standard.

    This theme also takes advantage of the Paid Memberships Pro plugin – but only the free version, which is available for any theme. They have an add on titled “Member Directory” that pretty much does what we need, but it’s only available with a yearly subscription that costs $197. That’s a little much for a simple plugin that is basically just 2 lines of code (according to them).

    With all of the hype you out out there about the Kleo theme, I’m surprised that it is so insufficient.

    Are you sure that there are not any functions in the theme or free plugins that will help?

    Thanks,
    Scott

    Okay – I believe you – but I still don’t know how it appeared in the plugins panel. I know I didn’t put it there.

     scottmriley

    So, to be clear, are you telling me that it’s not your product, so not your problem? Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the help that you’ve given me and the plugin is not that big of a deal. I’ve just been frustrated by the difficulties I’ve had with this theme, but I know that you are doing your best. You have all been obviously working very hard to keep everyone happy, and I’m aware of it. So, thank you very, very much!

    I thought it was listed in your features on ThemeForest. I can’t find it now, but I don’t know where it came from if it wasn’t part of the Kleo download.

    Whoa – yesterday, when I posted, the entire page was blank. Now, everything is there. I don’t get how, but I’m happy it happened. Thank you.

     scottmriley

    Okay, it’s disabled, but I would still like to use it. Isn’t it one of the features marketed with Kleo? Are you going to fix it?

     scottmriley
    Participant

    Rename it to what? Radu said to disable it, so are you saying that renaming the folder will disable the plugin?

    Here’s the path to the call: public_html/itoto.org/wp-content/plugins/simple-picture-menu/index.php

    So you are suggesting that I rename the simple-picture-menu folder to something else?

    Once again, here is the entire error message:

    Hi Radu,

    Thank you for replying. The error is blocking my access to the admin panel, so how do I disable the plugin?

    The icon color issue resolved. Thanks!

    The jQuery errors were probably from some code Laura sent for header changes that I tried. I just removed it all. Are the errors still there?

    sharmstr – so again, thank you for your awesome help! There is only one small problem remaining and I’ve tried to figure it out, read through similar posts, experimented with every option I can find and tried using some custom css on the page that Laura had sent earlier… no luck.

    When we changed the shortcode elements color, the cart and search icons in the header changed to the same color (see the attached screenshot). Is there a way to get them back to the white, as they were before we styled the shortcode elements?

    One other thing, I’d like to have a log in drop down link in the header following the icons. Just “Log In”, with username and password fields in a drop down. Can that be done?

    Again, the link is http://itoto.org

    Thank you so very much!!

    I found the problem. I had the bg alpha setting for the row at about 60%. I brought it back to 100% and matched the css color with the row color and it looks great! Thank you very much!!

    Thank you for your efforts here sharmstr.

    The lines show, but the little bg element color doesn’t blend with the page and the line seems to show through. I adjusted the rgb to match the actual page bg and it was still too dark. I tried taking the bg element out, but the lines then strike through the icon. Please take another look and see if you can tell what is happening:

    All good guesses, but I haven’t inserted any other css. Yes, I did put the code you sent in the child theme stylesheet and I fixed the error when you mentioned it. I did put the border color in alternate, but what do you mean about setting the row to use it? I set the same border color in the row options on the page. I only changed the background color for the row though, because I don’t want the entire page that color.

    And… this is a shortcode so maybe it isn’t set up as a horizontal rule. There is a choice in the options panel to change it from full to long to short.

    Also, remember I’ve said that I changed the background color, so maybe there is a z-index issue?

    One other thought. Is there some sort of z-index associated with the divider lines? Could the background color change have covered them up, so to speak?

    I would make all of my changes in the child theme or on the individual pages (if I can get them to work – I haven’t had any luck so far).
