For sure. There will be a way around it but then there are other issues like for example its not responsive.

Open it the browser and then slowly make it narrower. It should adjust so whatever device you are using it displays correctly. All newer themes do this but older themes may not.

Not that I know from memory. There are so many to choose from though….

It’s a pretty old theme. It hasn’t been updated for a couple of years.

Have you considered updating / upgrading to a newer theme?

Search for “slider revolution example”

The first result has lots of links to examples that do what you are looking for and if you had that product and you like them you can just download and import those templates.

These tools are responsive by design so they should help you.

Either way that gives a good idea of the approach that I’m suggesting.

This is how you can have conditional css.

<!--[if IE]>
According to the conditional comment this is IE<br />
<![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 6]>
According to the conditional comment this is IE 6<br />
<![endif]-->

I wouldn’t edit your theme css directly. I would either create a child theme or to install the jetpack plugin. The jetpack plugin gives you an option Appearance -> Edit CSS which allows you to change css on the fly.

If you are saying that you want to change your home page to have less text and big graphics then I think you may find that Google wouldn’t rank it as well. Google needs text to determine the content and if it’s relevant for a searcher so with little text it can’t do that well and will probably not rank as well.

An alternative approach that is quite common now is having a main image, headline and call to action which takes up the whole screen. Then when you scroll down you have all the content about the page like testimonials and why us stuff. That way you get a strong landing page image/action but also don’t lose the ranking benefits.

No probs. You will be able to download the image and change it but to upload it yes you will need your cpanel details or equivalent.

It’s actually part of this image….

– download the image
– edit the image & replace the purple with red
– upload to the same folder with the same filename

You could setup a backup plugin like backwpup and then create a backup. That creates something that you can restore that includes the images as well as the all the posts etc.

It sounds like it would be a good idea to move it back so you can play with that other site a bit.

After moving it back I would completely delete the files & db & do a fresh blank installation and see if that responds the same way.

I did a similar thing with my website wpjobz I just created it again from scratch and then only added the plugins/themes I needed and then imported the content. I can’t say why it was slow but now its not ??

To speed up my site from a blank install I installed a caching plugin (wp super cache but wp total cache would also work) and CloudFlare which acts as a cdn. I also then used CloudFlare’s free ssl service which made it super quick. Finally I installed a smush plugin and make sure all my images were optimised.

Those three changes only took about an hour and on Alerta its an average time of 1.160 and Pingdom 1.15s.

If don’t know if you can do it with the theme but If you download the jetpack plugin and set it up there is a menu option that you can edit the css: Appearance > Edit CSS

.page-id-9 .blog-info {
  display:none;
}

That will hide it for that page only.

ok cool. Sorry I reposted as I thought it didn’t go through. Please delete the second threadI just started.

It’s hard to say without looking under the cover as it all appears to be server response time so the server it doing something …. and then coming back. It’s only going to be possible to know more by getting in there and looking at it.

You could setup caching or try an optimise it but I would consider creating a new account somewhere and doing a backup/restore to if it behaves in the same way somewhere else. Have you contacted the hosting company? Maybe the shared server that is on is completely overloaded.

If you get stuck and can’t find a solution you can [Moderated].

Are they exact backup / restores of the same site or do they have different plugins etc. configured.

Are you able to post a link to the fast & slow sites?

As WSOD suggests you should baseline your site with GTMetrix, Pingdom & Google Page Speed.

Enter the url of the site to be improved into each of these free tools. They provide reports which show the current speed, what improvements need to be made and also a log of past reports to compare improvements:

https://gtmetrix.com/
https://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/
https://www.alertra.com

Then you should start doing things like setting up a caching plugin [Link moderated], use a cdn & optimizing your image with smush.it. I

After you make each change run the page speed tools again to see if it has improved much.

Your ping times may be slow with pingdom as they are USA based and you server may be in your own country.

It may also be dependent on how many plugins you have running on your site.

Let us know how you go and if you want some assistance.
