In reply to: WP site takes 9 seconds to load (please assist)Well, I’m glad my family doesn’t get feed based on my web programming skills as they would be hungry.
I had my top-90.com open in wordpress and top90sports.com which is the one I was planning on making into the production/live site since it was easier to remember (and say) than top hyphen 90.com
I decided I would copy the settings from top-90.com and import them into the top90sports.com. When I copied and pasted the data, it was the reverse meaning I wiped out all of the settings for the theme out.
A little disheartened right now. Going to see how I do a restore since I had backup (wpbackup) but you all can probably ignore this topic for a while as I work to get one back up. ??
AGH!!!!

In reply to: WP site takes 9 seconds to load (please assist)Greetings everyone!
I swear all I did was blink and 4 days passed since I replied last. My apologies guys. I lost track of time completely.
I’m working on the site today with the guidance of your suggestions. I am dedicating myself to providing an update this afternoon eastern standard time.
Thanks again for your help and my apologies for the gap in response.

In reply to: WP site takes 9 seconds to load (please assist)Finally had a clearer head then when I posted the question (and more patience).
I started disabling the plugins one by one and found that when I de-activated BackWPup, there seemed (from my novice eye) to be some positive difference.
I also went through the link (https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-install-and-setup-w3-total-cache-for-beginners/) that Matthew provided which helped further.
Switching the theme didn’t make much difference which is good because I paid for that sports theme.
Things I am working on next (and I appreciate the constructive criticism):
-optimizing the images (how would one lazyload my images?)
-reviewing changes in the site to enhance purchasing by the visitors
-look more into MaxCDN (any suggestions on pursuing this?)**Thank you very much! I am in deep water here and without you two offering the suggestions and expert level advice, I would be at the bottom of this lake with my site.

In reply to: WP 4.3.1 still allows visibility of admin usernamesKnowing someone’s user name is half of the battle for a hacker. If they don’t know it, how can they even attempt to crack it?

In reply to: [GeneratePress] Display a few replies of posts on home pageMorning Tom.
I installed/activated the Code Snippet plugin and copy/pasted this into it:
add_action(‘generate_after_content’,’generate_add_comments_to_index’);
function generate_add_comments_to_index()
{
// If we’re not on the blog, don’t do anything
if ( ! is_home() )
return;// If comments are open or we have at least one comment, load up the comment template
if ( comments_open() || ‘0’ != get_comments_number() ) : ?>
<div class=”comments-area”>
<?php comments_template(); ?>
</div>
<?php endif;
}I don’t see any change on the home page. No comments listed under the initial post so I’m not sure if I did something wrong or it just doesn’t work.
Thanks for your help.

In reply to: [GeneratePress] Display a few replies of posts on home pageTom, you’re a special developer as you respond (quickly) to your “customers” with an informative answer. Thank you for that!
I did mean comments (sorry for the poor terminology). I will try out your example and post the results.
Thanks again!
