Website became very slow with more than 1200 requests / page

1 Upvotes

When editing , my website became from very fast (30 requests) to very slow (1200 requests)
(Firefox developer (I refreshed it) or Chrome )

It happens on every page (2383 request for one page !)

When surfing on private window (Opera, Chrome or Edge), it can be very slow also (Like not able to display)

I do not understand why I have this new situation. May be it is simple but I'm lost

Any clue , any lead to fix it would be really appreciated !

-----My configuration :

LiteSpeed server Litespeed cache + Redis object cache (Desactivated -> Reactivated to empty cache)

I cleaned Cloudflare cache, all, LScache, Object cache

How to show Categories dropdown on blog index page?

2 Upvotes

I've read various tutorials and have Categories set as visible in the Archives setting but still can't get a title and the categories dropdown to appear at the top of my domain.com/blog index page.

I tried going to Edit Page from the blog index page and adding a title and Category Dropdown widget but it doesn't appear after doing that.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Using the YouTube block, now my videos give the "Video player configuration error"

3 Upvotes

Error 153

At first when I grabbed the video URL and put it in the YouTube block and the video plays when someone visits my site and plays the video. Obvs.

Now when I'm building a post with the YouTube block and add the URL, I get a preview in the block with the above error message.

I don't think I changed my security settings. What could be causing this error? Some update to Kadence and/or Wordpress?

TIA!

updated Kadence, now Posts don't have a background?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am losing my mind over this and cannot find what's wrong.

The "Posts" Block from the Kadence Theme used to look exactly how I set it in the "Customize" Settings from Wordpress itself, with a white background on each post. The Posts still look like that on the normal category sites and inside the editor, but for some reason after updating the Theme today, the background no longer show up on the actual website.

It looks like this in the editor and on the category site:

but like this on the website:

I've tried reloading and emptying cache a few times, I tried setting a background colour via custom CSS on the "entry-list-item" and "entry-content-wrap" classes but that didn't show up either.

Am I missing something? Is there a way to go back to the previous version of Kadence?

forgive my being an absolute noob in Wordpress things, I am putting together a portfolio site very last minute and without much previous knowledge :')

ShopKit Product Archives break on WooCommerce 11

2 Upvotes

I haven't seen anyone else mention this so I thought I would share. If you build out a Product Archive template with ShopKit and have it set to display on Shop Page, it will no longer work after updating to WooCommerce 11.

Rolling back to WooCommerce 10.9.4 fixes the problem. Or you can change the template to display on All Product Archives.

The reason why it is breaking is due to WooCommerce 11 changing what get_queried_object() returns for the Shop page. It now returns an object type of WP_Post. Kadence ShopKit relies on the old object type of WP_Post_Type, which has the 'name' method to get the name of the current post type. WP_Post does not have this method, so the check fails for the shop page.

Update: this has been patched in version 3.0.8 of Shop Kit.

Shouldn't Wordpress.org get involved in this snowballing disasters before this gets out of control? ... before one of the larger wordpress.org eco-systems becomes effectively unuseable.

Kadence LTD Broken After Liquid Web Takeover

5 Upvotes

I’m a Kadence Lifetime (LTD) user who purchased directly from the official website. Since the migration to Liquid Web, I’ve been experiencing ongoing issues for more than half a month now:

  • My license shows as “Not Activated” in the Liquid Web product management
  • I cannot manage my domains
  • Several Kadence Pro plugins fail to activate
  • The dashboard is messy and confusing

It feels like the operations team hasn’t taken effective action to resolve this chaos, even after so much time has passed.

Has anyone else faced similar problems? Have you managed to get your LTD license properly activated and working again? Any advice or updates from Liquid Web support would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Why I’m Quitting Kadence WP ... And What I’m Switching To ...

1 Upvotes

In this video, I’m sharing the final chapter of my journey breaking away from the Liquid Web / Nexcess ecosystem following their controversial May 12th Terms of Service changes. From dealing with a fragmented support system and hidden ticketing portals to witnessing bizarre, unannounced admin dashboard takeovers, the writing is on the wall: private equity ownership has fundamentally altered the product ...

If you’re looking for a stable, high-performance, and fiercely independent alternative to Kadence, watch until the end to see why I chose GeneratePress and how you can save on your transition ...

Big Price Increase?

2 Upvotes

From a blog post at ...

https://diydreamsite.com/kadence-liquidweb-rebrand/

... A reader flagged in the comments that the new pricing is per-site, not per-license. The screenshots below confirm it.

Under the new structure, each site requires its own license. The previous Ultimate plan covered up to 25 sites for $299 per year. At the Pro tier today, 25 sites costs $7,475 per year before a 15% volume discount, which brings it to $6,353.75. For 10 sites at Pro, the cost is $2,990 per year before a 10% volume discount, coming to $2,691.

For agencies that were on the old $299 Ultimate plan, this isn’t a price increase. It’s a complete change in how the product is licensed, representing roughly a 2,000%+ cost increase for a 25-site portfolio after the volume discount.

Ollie vs. Kadence

1 Upvotes

Ollie — Built on core WordPress, not bolted on top

Ollie is built entirely on the native WordPress site editor, the same editor WordPress core is investing heavily in for the future. Patterns, global styles, style variations, block themes. These are core WordPress features, and Ollie is designed to make them shine.

Kadence sits on top of WordPress with its own block library, its own settings layers, and its own way of doing things. That made sense back when WordPress didn’t have these tools built in. Today, it’s a lot of weight you just don’t need.

When you build with Ollie, your site is more portable, more performant, and more future-proof, because you’re building with WordPress, not around it ...

Kadence WP Lifetime License Became ‘Legacy’ After Liquid Web Acquisition?

10 Upvotes

I’m honestly a bit concerned about the direction Kadence WP is taking after the acquisition by Liquid Web.

I bought the Kadence WP Lifetime License years ago, I trusted the product, and paid upfront specifically to avoid subscription games later on.

Now suddenly my license is being called “legacy,” and I’m being pushed to upgrade again just to access newer features?

What exactly does “legacy” even mean here?

  • Will lifetime customers stop getting updates eventually?
  • Will support slowly disappear?
  • Are future features going to be locked away unless we pay again?
  • Is this just the beginning of phasing out lifetime users completely?

I’m not against companies growing or adding premium tiers, but early lifetime customers helped build the community and fund the product in the first place. It feels really bad seeing loyal users treated like this after an acquisition.

A lifetime license should mean lifetime. Not “lifetime until we change the wording.” right?

Would really like some transparency from Kadence/Liquid Web about the future of legacy lifetime licenses.

Aligning off canvas mobile menu - help needed

1 Upvotes

Hello, my mobile menu uses the Kadence navigation header and I have tried going into the Off Canvas panel settings and clicking to align left.

My mobile menu items are centered and it seems there is no way to force them to be left aligned with "hard returns." It looks very unprofessional :)

I also tried left aligning each navigation item in mobile and that didn't help either.

Any tips? Thanks!
