How Do I Customize My Page Layouts?

Welcome to Hopps help where we answered questions in two minutes. Today's question is how can I customize my page layouts? So first we're going to go to pages, add new.
Now, one way to customize the layout is actually customizing the content layout and that's done with blocks. So, if we add a new block, we can add a paragraph shortcode image, whatever we'd like, that all that is determined by when you add that to the page, or if you drag and drop different things.
So that's one block. Now we have another block here for the shortcode. I'm not actually going to add a short code, but I want to drag and drop this to the top.
Oops. That didn't work so well. Let's do it off of this guy. We'll drag and drop this to the bottom here.
And now the text is under the shortcode. So that's how you customize the layout for the actual page content. Now, if you're looking for customizing things such as, and I'm just going to ignore the work we did here, I'll just go to the homepage and click on hello world.
Now with this, you have the header you have that may have a comment and things of that nature, all of that is determined by your theme.
So, you can use your you'll need to edit your, your use, your theme to edit its content, or you have widgets sometimes where you can just go and drag and drop your widgets into different locations, such as with this theme, footer.
And that's how you customize your page layout in WordPress. If you need one-on-one assistance with a WordPress expert, hop on it, https://app.hopps.io/session/create today.

How Do I Speed Up A Slow Wordpress Site?

Hi, welcome to Hopps help or answer questions in two minutes. Today's question is how do I speed up a slow WordPress site?
So you want to keep your plugging count low, try to aim for 25 plugins or fewer active plugins or less, by the way, you should be deleting the ones that you're deactivating as well.
That way then you don't have that security liability, but every active plugin is adding a certain degree of complexities to your site.
And in doing that, it's every plugin slows your site down just a little bit. Now, all of those combined to just a little bit more slow, just a little slower, just a little slower, and you wind up with a mess.
So you want to try to keep your plugging count as low as possible. And ironically, another idea is to add a new plugin and this one is actually a caching plugin and a caching plugin is going to compile a page for you basically.
So that way, then you don't have to recompile the page every time it loads. And because it doesn't have to go through all of those calculations every single time, it loads, it's just going to display the cached page as it's called for the visitor.
And that way, then you don't have to, waste a lot of time loading that page and potentially you lose your audience Images or an are awful images are also an often overlooked tongue twister.
I mean, having a, having a megabyte image here, a megabyte image there, may you have a video that's loading in?
Have I dunno, 200 megs? Do you know what I mean? So you want to go and try to keep that stuff low as well.
So some things that that'll cash image or to bull shrink images are image optimizers. Okay. And hummingbird is actually one of the, uh, one of the bigger brands in that and smush that's by the same people and whatnot that, uh, smush will go in and smush your images for you.
Your image as a promiser is also really popular. I'm looking at the star counts by the way, and how many installations they have.
And by the way, I've seen their brands quite often. So that's another key indicator that they're popular. So, all right.
So I hope this gives you some ideas on where you can optimize your site's speed. And if you'd like one-on-one assistance with a WordPress expert, how about https://app.hopps.io/session/create today?

How Do I Fix The Space Between Featured Images On The Home Page?

Hi, welcome to Hopps help where we answer questions in two minutes. Today's question is how do I fix the space between featured images on the homepage now for simplicity? I'm going to stay with the stock WordPress theme.
You might have a different theme and it's going to be a, it, it might be different and for your situation, but with the stuck theme, this is all I can really focus on because there are thousands.
If not millions of themes out there for WordPress. Okay. So, we have a featured image that we added to the stuck theme in WordPress.
Now, this doc theme does not allow me to add multiple featured images for that reason. I've added a couple of images to the content of the page instead, and that basically, the premise is going to be about the same.
So, if we go to the homepage and I'll just copy this link here because it's going to open a new page otherwise, okay, so now we're on here.
This is our featured image. It's listened to large and on top. And then we have the two images that I added in there for the demonstration.
Now, how do we get rid of this gap? Because we don't want that gap there. Okay. So, we're going to go into customizing and we'll add additional CSS.
I'm going to scroll down so we can see what we're doing here. Notice this gap is still there. I'm going to paste in the code that I wrote earlier.
So, you go and fix this problem and I'll explain what it means. Notice the gap has gone, by the way, I just pasted this in.
Okay. So, body dot home, that means you use the home class on the body tag and then space. So not cure, but space figure.
That means that figure has to follow the body with the home class on it. Now the body is in a standard HTML tag home is the class, and that home only appears on the home page.
So, we can only target that homepage this way and the figure is what we're using to display these images. Then we also need to go and get rid of the margin.
So, notice what happens if I do a five-pixel margin here, we have a gap. We can also go back to zero, but we don't have that gap anymore.
So that margin is gone. That margin between the images is gone. And that's how you get rid of that gap between images on the homepage of your WordPress site.

How Do I Optimize The Initial Load Of A Website With A Large Volume Of Categories?

Hi, welcome to Hopps help where we answer questions in two minutes. Today's question is how do I optimize the initial load of a website with a large volume of categories?
So, if you have a lot of categories, there are going to be a lot of posts attached to those categories and whatnot.
Now, in order to optimize your site, you're going to want to go and prime the page cache. And that includes anything.
That's trying to list those bins on that massive list of categories. So, w three total cash is an excellent choice for them.
If we go to the performance page cash, then we see that we have a cash preload. So, if we are automatically prime the page cash and update it on a schedule, that's going to make it really fast to, load that, that page.
So let's say that we have a really active site and we're constantly adding new categories every single day. Let's say you need five new categories.
I don't know. There's something that's going to change that list of categories or there are lots of posts coming in May.
We're a very popular news network or something like that. And we need to go and update this, this, these pages so that people aren't sitting there waiting for that entire page to compile, to do that.
Use the automatic prime, the page automatically private page cache setting update. Then, the update interval will happen behind the scenes and you can set it to however many seconds you want.
You could also preload the post cache upon publish events. So, if you publish a new post, it'll go and prime that cash for your new posts and everything like that is you post them.
But that's how to go in and make sure that your pages are nice and fast. Okay. So if you'd like one-on-one help with a WordPress expert, hop on it, https://app.hopps.io/session/create today.

And we might as well just go ahead and do another one. So on posts, add other post. Again, this time I'm going to skip the category and we go back here and notice the default categories uncategorized.
So, another post is uncategorized. So, if we go to categories, we have accounted for one for test category, but uncategorized has two.

If they're redirected homepage, custom URL login and back, et cetera. And then you also have content. So what content are we trying to protect here?
So, let's do a selected there's selected post, and there's also a selected page, so we can restrict access to a short content page, and we must be a logged-in user And We'll be redirected to the login screen.
And then back if we choose that, so let's just go ahead and do that. Okay. So now, oh, and we didn't enter a redirection title, so I'll just say tusk, just so we have something in that box.
Okay. All right. So now I'm going to log out or actually first, I'm going to go to that page that we were on.
We restricted this one. So, we'll go ahead and view this page. And now we're there. We can see it. We can log out, try to view it again, short content.
I'm going to refresh because it's on that. All right. So, I'm going to read, I do my login and now I'm able to see it.

How Do I Display User Posts In A Grid Instead Of A Single Feed?

Hi, welcome to Hopps helps where we answer questions in two minutes. Today's question is how are, how do I display user posts in a grid instead of a single feed?
So, to do that one option is to use a plugin such as a post grader, content views, post grid, something of that nature, whichever one looks the best to you and does what you need to do.
However, keep in mind that that feature, that functionality is often handled by your theme. So, if your theme supports building a grid, instead of for posts, instead of using a, like a content feed where it's just, for instance, this is a feed here, another post, hello world, that's a feed.
So, but the plugins on here we'll create a grid out of it. And so can most themes. So check to make sure that your theme has that feature first.
If it doesn't then install a plugin that way, then you're not loading your site with extra plugins for features you already have and winding up slowing down your site.
So, okay. So, if you'd like one-on-one assistance from a WordPress expert, https://app.hopps.io/session/create today.
