    Hi Sakin,

    I have a few questions. (Referenced site: WeekendPic.com)

    1) You said my mobile “Navigation” icon and “Back to the Top” icon not showing sometimes is related to a site loading issue. That is really odd because it loads fine when I am using my cell data but has shown blank when I am connected to WiFi. Is there any way you could look into this further? It has been a problem since I download the plugin.

    2) To increase my homepage load time is there a way to add an option to the the post page to assign a secondary image instead of just the feature image. The secondary image would much smaller and set at 560px wide x 227px high. This way It would take less time to load the homepage because it would be pulling in less images.

    3) Could you please tell me how to remove feature slider when I user goes to page 2, 3, 4…. and just have it shown on the homepage.

    4) Is there a continuous scroll option I could use for my homepage and category pages? So it is not fully loading all of the articles increasing my page load time?

    5) My site is setup to be an event calendar. To do that I constantly have to change the date of my posts, as I add new posts so the events fall in order when the user goes to homepage and event page. Because of this it is hurting my SEO because Google thinks I am trying to make old content relevant content but changing the date. Is there a better way to organize my content in date order while still keeping the same look of my current homepage and event page? I do not want to install an ugly event calendar.

    @Alexander:
    1. Menu is working fine. Also we are trying our new script for menu and it will be nice update.
    2. For image, have to regenerate the thumbnail after you activated this theme. If you haven’t regenerate then activate the pluign http://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails and then regenerate thumbnail. Also make sure that you have selected “Excerpt/Blog Display (Style 1 – Featured Image Size )” in “Appearance => Theme Options => Layout Options => Archive Content Layout”
    3. You can add the following css in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box:
    .home.paged #main-slider { display: none; }
    4. We only have “infinite Scroll” click option. For that you need to install Jetpack plugin and active “Infinite Scroll” module.
    5. I see that you have added in “Recent Posts” widget and this will display recent post. So, you need to change the date. Why don’t you create custom menu from “Appearance => Menus” and then add add all the post you want and arrange it as per your need. No need to change date. Then save that menu and go to “Appearance => Widgets” add in “Custom Menu” widgets.

    Hi Sakin,

    Thank you for your help! The answer you provided for question (3) and (4) work perfect.

    For question (1) please click the below link to view a screenshot I just took of my mobile nav and back to the top button not working. Note I am currently connected to broadband wifi using safari.

    Link: http://weekendpick.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/IMG_6699.jpg

    For question (2) I installed the plugin but on my homepage when I use the “Inspect Element” feature it is still using the main post image which is sized at 1600×650 instead of a smaller image sized at 710×288 which if used would decrease my page size (currently 1.9MB) and decreasing my page load time. I feel there needs to be an option to add a secondary image that will be used on the homepage and category pages.

    For question (5) I am little confused. I need the main homepage posts and category posts (feature image and except) to be in event date order. Is that possible without changing the post publish date?

    Thank you,

    Alex

    @Alexander:
    1. About the menu icon in mobile devices. From which mobile you too screenshot. Looking at your screenshot, it looks like there is issue with Genericon in your mobile browser. So, can you update theme to latest version. Catch Flames 3.1 which has updated Genericion script to version 3.3.
    2. After you install that plugin, you need to go to “Tools => Regen. Thumbnails” and then click on “Regenerate All Thumbnails”.
    5. Sorry no option for this.
