In reply to: Larger feature images in excerpts

Answer to second query:

Yes. Create a child theme and add this to the child theme’s functions.php file:

function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {

return 100;

}

add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 );

The default excerpt length is 55 words; the above code changes it to 100.

In reply to: How to enable [graphene_after_post_content] widget area only in posts and not in Excerpt

#42906

Do you have an example of this in action?

It’s possible that if you changed your except length to a very long length, and your post is short enough, that your after post content widget would appear on the front page.

Try something like this in custom CSS or child theme stylesheet:

.home .graphene-dynamic-widget-graphene_after_post_content {display: none;}

I may have targeted the wrong class for the widget area; you can play around with Firebug to pin down the correct one.

Check your widgets panel. You may have added them to an action hook widget area.

If not, the code may be in Graphene’s sharing options.

In reply to: How long did my site take to load?

#42967

There are online tools you can use to determine this.

A google search for “How long did my site take to load?” actually gives you one of the best ones as the first result:

Sometimes it’s your host, sometimes it’s your isp, sometimes it’s the network in general. But run that test, pay attention to the waterfall, and deal with those items that take forever to load. Sometimes it’s only one or two things.

There are, in fact, plenty of plugins that provide a mailing list functionality that work just fine with WordPress. Three things come to mind here:

1) Be patient. Depending on your server and host, it could take several hours for emails to be sent and received. (If you have a large mailing list, your host may only allow so many emails to be sent per hour, to prevent overloading their mail servers.)

2) Your host may be blocking you from sending outgoing mail in quantity, since they don’t want to be perceived as sending out spam.

3) Switch from the default mail port of 25 to something else. SMTP uses port 25 by default, and this is sometimes blocked by default on some servers, again to prevent spam. This article may help you understand this. Alternately, it may also confuse you. The important point is to find out if your host is blocking port 25, and if they are, how to switch it to something else.

Marking thread as resolved. You can do this yourself as well.

Is this from a plugin? Or is it custom code that you dropped into a text widget?

Graphene Options >> General Options >> Slider Options

The Graphene slider is really designed to showcase posts and/or pages. If all you want to do is show images, you may wish to forgo it entirely and use something like Meteor Slides, which is designed to showcase images alone.
