It’s the icon font that was really slowing down the site, because it was blocking other things to load, I guess. I solved it by adding

<link rel=”preload” href=”/wp-content/plugins/hashbar-wp-notification-bar/fonts/Material-Design-Iconic-Font.woff2?v=2.2.0″ as=”font” type=”font/woff2″ crossorigin=”anonymous”>

to my header. Now it preloads.

The other thing is the 70kb css file. Does it have to be that big? 99.8% of the css is unused on my site. But that is a smaller issue, all plugins seem to do have a similar problem so I guess it is difficult to solve.

Otherwise, really good plugin, and thanks for taking the time to reply! I already added an extra star to my review.

Had a deeper look. The plugin and code above do not solve the issue because pdf files or images, and also the WP backend will still have the WP favicon.

The only solution is to upload a favicon.ico to your root folder via FTP.

It is very persistent. I also have it popping up on my PHPBB forum – I don’t even know how that’s possible.

This code and plugin might help:

I second aegirr’s comment: why on earth did you move the arrow to the top? It’s a pain.

What’s even more of a pain is that you can now no longer drag-and-drop a block if you have the toolbar at the top.

So I had to put the toolbar back on the block-level to be able to drag my blocks. Please fix it in the next iteration.

Edit: for anyone else coming here, the issue is being discussed here: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/20078

For myself: I knew I should not have upgraded this soon.

I am working with a developer to find out where the bug is.

Use this in your functions.php or code snippet:

add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘insert_ad_block’);

function insert_ad_block( $text ) {

if ( is_singular( array( ‘post’, ‘page’) )) {

$ads_text = ‘put your ad code here’;

return prefix_insert_after_paragraph( $ads_text, 3, $text );}
return $text;

}

Repeat but put a 6, 9, 12 instead of a 3.

I was on a holiday ??

If I find out what happened, I’ll let it be known here.

Thanks Daan. I could not find anything suspicious and had to decide to learn to live with it in the end.

Most confusingly, the number of users and sessions did not rise or drop, only the quality of their visit has dropped.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks. It was the NinjaForms plugin causing trouble.

I have been using WordPress for 5 years, stable host, never had this issue before. I also started having it this week. Maybe still something to do with WP 4.4?

Hi denis,

I think you need to write it without the ” quotes.

Hi Bruno,

I did it in the end with some other plugin (forgot which one), so no need for it anymore. But thanks for the heads up!

Hi Priyanshu,

it was SEO Image alt tags which also rewrote alt tags dynamically.

Thanks I figured it out, there was a conflict with another plugin causing confusion. Makes sense now. Thank you for quick support!

Thanks for the follow-up. That explains a lot. It does not explain about the title-tags, though. Need to do some digging for that, I definitely did not do that myself.

Thanks for all the support!
