    I tried enabling GD Booster, and my front-page maps quit loading. As soon as I disabled it, the map started working again. It’s really disappointing that something with this much potential is unusable in a production environment.

    Can you post your URL and WP admin details?
    GD booster works fine for most, so it might be a conflict with something else.
    Did you upload and/or update ALL GD plugins?
    Do you have many other plugins enabled?
    Does it work when you disable all other plugins?

    The conflict appears to be Yoast SEO for WordPress. I’m enabling all of the other plugins one at a time, but that one triggered the issue when I enabled it.

    I’ve split this topic and renamed it GD BOoster bugs to allow other to report anything they found.

    Condider that we released this in Beta, so you shouldn’t be disappointed to find bugs. It is totally normal.

    I’ve flagged this for Stiofan and we will have a look asap.

    Thanks

    Hi Paolo,

    I use managed WP hosting without a caching plugin and so far so good. Will there be a list of hosting companies that will be fully compatible with GD booster?

    Perhaps a special thread for compatible hosting can be created. 🙂

    Hi,

    Great to hear you’ve created GD Booster, I’ve been trying to test it out though and can’t get it to work.

    So far, I’ve installed the complete beta package in 3 different environments, local apache, local Nginx & staging Nginx and I keep getting the same issue, once GD Booster is active the files it creates can’t be found.

    I wondering if it’s an issue with my server running Nginx with FastCGI (it’s a linode VPS), but this doesn’t explain why it didn’t work on my local apache dev server.

    Here’s the link to staging site – http://staging.myhappykids.com/

    Any ideas, Cheers

    Hi Stiofan,

    Thanks for that works great now, messed up my css a little, but nothing I can’t fix.

    I take it the fix will be permanent and included in the next release?

    Cheers

    OK, I’ve fixed the main CSS issue I had, but it’s a little weird. Maybe a GD Booster bug?

    For some reason my HTML CSS declaration, was getting stripped out. When I looked at the CSS file generated by Booster I noticed the declaration was there but missing the semicolon at the end, which existed in my original CSS file.

    The only way I’ve found to fix the issue is to make the declaration twice. Which you can see in my main CSS file.

    There’s still a few smaller CSS issues, I’ll investigate these in case it’s a similar issue.

    OK, I’ve figured out what is causing the other CSS issues, for some reason some of the advance_search_filters CSS file is now overriding some of my CSS.

    The main issue is the declarations just under the BASE comment.

    I’ve also just noticed an issue with the GD Twitter Widget, it’s not showing on my homepage in the right sidebar, below the events calendar.

    Cheers, Craig

    Hi Stiofan,

    Let me try and explain a bit better. There are three things that cropped up while messing about with the beta last night.

    1. First thing was the CSS issue that made my HTML font-size declaration 100%, when it should have been 62.5%. I’ve fixed this by adding an empty HTML CSS declaration at the top of my CSS file, for some reason with the booster active the first CSS Declaration wasn’t working, by adding one above it in my style sheet it’s now fine. Here’s what I had to do to get it to work:

    html { }
    html {
    font-size: 62.5% !important; }

    This was added to my main style.css file.

    2. The second issue was the geodir_advance_search_filters CSS file is overriding some of my CSS. It messes up my h3 in the footer widget header and the events calendar. This happens when the advanced search filters plugin is active, even if Booster is disabled.
    I’ve fixed this by commenting out the block under the base comment in the advanced_search_filters CSS file, like so:

    /* Base
    —————————————————————————————————-*/
    /* * {margin:0;padding:0;border:0;outline:0}
    html {
    height: 100%;
    }
    html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe,
    h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre,
    a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code,
    del, dfn, em, font, ins, kbd, q, s, samp,
    small, strike, sub, sup, tt, var,
    dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li,
    fieldset, form, label, legend,
    caption {
    border: 0;
    font-size: 100%;
    font-style: inherit;
    font-weight: inherit;
    margin: 0;
    outline: 0;
    padding: 0;
    vertical-align: baseline;
    }
    body {line-height: 1;}
    ol, ul {list-style: none;}
    blockquote, q {quotes: none;}
    blockquote:before, blockquote:after,
    q:before, q:after {content: ”; content: none;}
    :focus {outline: 0;}
    ins {text-decoration: none;}
    del {text-decoration: line-through;}
    p{ padding:0px; margin:0px}
    a{text-decoration:none;}
    a:hover{text-decoration:none;}
    body {
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    font-size:100%;
    }
    .clearfix:after {
    visibility: hidden;
    display: block;
    font-size: 0;
    content: ” “;
    clear: both;
    height: 0;
    }
    .fl
    {float:left;}
    .fr
    {float:right;}
    .clr{ clear:both;}
    p
    { line-height:22px; padding:5px 0 5px 0;}
    img
    { max-width:100%;
    height:auto;
    border:none;}
    article, nav, section, footer, summary
    { display:block;} */

    All of the above is commented out, this is strange as nothings changed in this file as far as I can see.

    3. The third thing is the Geodir Twitter Widget is no longer showing, it should be below the events calendar on my home page, right sidebar. It seems to start loading then just the empty container is left, there is no code between the <body> tags. Don’t have a clue what’s causing this, but it seems to be an issue with chrome, seems ok on firefox.

    Thanks, Craig

    Hi Craig,

    #1 is probably some bad CSS code above it somwhere (i guess)
    #2 might just be a conflict and not a GDB bug
    #3 i see the twitter widget fine?
