Those folders don’t actually exist, they were there only to prevent googlebot from indexing my jump script which uses such syntax. As far as I know, they shouldn’t have blocked googlebot (or anything else for that matter). * However, even those items have been deleted so my robots.txt file shouldn’t block anything anymore. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Jetpack - WP Security, Backup, Speed, & Growth] Images, CSS & JS get blocked for Googlebot by Jetpack](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/images-css-js-get-blocked-for-googlebot-by-jetpack/) * Thread Starter [MasterBen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/masterben/) * (@masterben) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/images-css-js-get-blocked-for-googlebot-by-jetpack/#post-6382035) * I’ve deleted all the items with disallow in my robots.txt file now. There are only several allow items in my robots.txt file now. * However, when I turn on Jetpack, I still get “Partial” success, whereas without Jetpack I usually get “complete” success with fetch and render… * Admittedly, I do get “partial” even with Jetpack turned off SOMETIMES, but when Jetpack is turned on I ALWAYS get “partial”. * I know that Jetpack isn’t supposed to block googlebot, but it seems it does for some odd reason. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Yoast SEO - Advanced SEO with real-time guidance and built-in AI] Sitemap not updating with new posts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sitemap-not-updating-with-new-posts/) * Thread Starter [MasterBen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/masterben/) * (@masterben) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sitemap-not-updating-with-new-posts/#post-5216010) * Does anyone have any idea why this issue occurs? The sitemap used to work flawlessly but now even after my hosting restored all the plugins from about a week ago ( from backup) the issue still persists. * The sitemap is generated whenever I publish a new post, but it doesn’t include new posts… as if it got stuck at one of yesterday’s posts and doesn’t want to add anything after it. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Popular Posts Tabbed Widget for Jetpack] Plugin seems to slow down the entire blog](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-seems-to-slow-down-the-entire-blog/) * Thread Starter [MasterBen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/masterben/) * (@masterben) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-seems-to-slow-down-the-entire-blog/#post-5145814) * To be honest… I am not sure when Jetpack was updated last. I think it might have been recently… e.g. 15 days ago or so.. but don’t quote me on that. * However, even with that update about a few weeks ago nothing was slowing down the blog until today or yesterday. And today or yesterday I don’t recall changing anything at all. * It seems my blog has some other issues because even when jetpack and popular posts tabbed widget are turned off, WP Tuner reports some significant lags under“ Page generation performance” in: * plugins_loaded get_sidebar posts_selection * and within SQL Database performance in: * wp_posts * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Compact WP Audio Player] Can't prevent a song from looping forever](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-prevent-a-song-from-looping-forever/) * Thread Starter [MasterBen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/masterben/) * (@masterben) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-prevent-a-song-from-looping-forever/#post-4906279) * Thanks, that fixed the issue. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[LAPDI Featured Posts] When entering post IDs manually they are not showing properly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/when-entering-post-ids-manually-they-are-not-showing-properly/) * Thread Starter [MasterBen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/masterben/) * (@masterben) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/when-entering-post-ids-manually-they-are-not-showing-properly/#post-4525945) * Hi, * Yes, this has resolved my issue – thanks! * I use the widget in the widget section and it seems I used the wrong syntax ( I put spaces after commas). So instead of writing “5,3,4” I would write “5, 3, 4” (without quotes). * The way I put spaces is actually the standard in correct punctuation for most languages (you have to put a space after a comma), but I didn’t know that for this plugin/widget one must leave out all spaces. * Anyway, again – thanks for a nice plugin and for your help. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Popular Posts Tabbed Widget for Jetpack] No thumbnails?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-thumbnails-7/) * Thread Starter [MasterBen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/masterben/) * (@masterben) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-thumbnails-7/#post-4048340) * That would fix the invisibility of the rest of the tabs, but in that case every other text that is displayed in the sidebars (categories, tags, monthly archives etc.) is displayed in that darker color (#999) which doesn’t look too good. You can see how it looks at the moment… a bit too dark for my taste. * Is there a way to change the background color for the top horizontal bar of the widget itself (where the tabs are located)? Currently it is set to white color, and if we could change it to, e.g. some darker shade of gray then white text would be readable on the widget… * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Popular Posts Tabbed Widget for Jetpack] No thumbnails?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-thumbnails-7/) * Thread Starter [MasterBen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/masterben/) * (@masterben) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-thumbnails-7/#post-4048331) * Just to clarify the previous statement – I can’t see the title “Comments” and“ Recent” if the “Popular” tab is selected. * In other words, the font color is probably the same as the background color and that makes the titles of the tabs unreadable, except the currently selected one. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Popular Posts Tabbed Widget for Jetpack] No thumbnails?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-thumbnails-7/) * Thread Starter [MasterBen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/masterben/) * (@masterben) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-thumbnails-7/#post-4048329) * The plugin you suggested (Auto post thumbnail) works very well and now I can see the thumbs in the widget – thanks! * The only thing that I am still not completely happy about is that I can’t see the names of the other tabs except for the currently selected one. For instance, if I select the “Popular” tab in the widget I can’t see “Comments” and “Recent” tabs. I can see “Comments” and “Recent” if I select them or mouse over them. * I suspect this is some css issue. Any idea how this can be fixed? * Regards. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Popular Posts Tabbed Widget for Jetpack] No thumbnails?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-thumbnails-7/) * Thread Starter [MasterBen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/masterben/) * (@masterben) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-thumbnails-7/#post-4048269) * I don’t use “featured image” in my posts, but the option for setting featured image does exist in my WP dashboard (which might suggest that my theme supports it, but I am not sure). * There is a plugin that can turn the first image from every post into the featured image for that post ([http://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-add-thumbnail/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-add-thumbnail/)) but it seems that that plugin generates featured images only when they are called within the posts. I installed it and it didn’t replace the default wordpress thumbs in the Popular Posts Tabbed Widget. * Is there any way to make this work somehow? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Jetpack - WP Security, Backup, Speed, & Growth] Thumbs size for Tops posts & pages widget](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbs-size-for-tops-posts-pages-widget/) * Thread Starter [MasterBen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/masterben/) * (@masterben) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbs-size-for-tops-posts-pages-widget/#post-4045496) * I still don’t know where that code should be placed. In my theme’s css file or in some other css file? If I put it in my theme’s css file nothing happens. * As for the Tabbed Widget it is right below the “Top Posts and Pages”. You can find it if you search for the text “Popular Posts Tabbed” in your browser. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Jetpack - WP Security, Backup, Speed, & Growth] Thumbs size for Tops posts & pages widget](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbs-size-for-tops-posts-pages-widget/) * Thread Starter [MasterBen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/masterben/) * (@masterben) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbs-size-for-tops-posts-pages-widget/#post-4045462) * ——–Warning! This post contains links to a website that is NSFW!—— * OK, my blog is [http://www.roughstraightmen.com](http://www.roughstraightmen.com) * You can see those thumbnails in the right sidebar, somewhere in the middle of the page (you have to scroll down), and the title is “Top Posts & Pages”. * As you can see, the thumbs look too small and are barely distinguishable. So I wanted to make these thumbs a bit larger. * The code that you proposed in the first post has been added to my theme’s css file, but it seems to have no effect. * By the way, while we are at it, the widget “Popular Posts Tabbed Widget” also doesn’t work properly. It displays the default “WordPress” thumbnail instead of thumbs taken from respective posts. You can see that widget right below the“ Top Posts and Pages” widget. * Any idea how to make the Popular Posts Tabbed widget work as well? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Jetpack - WP Security, Backup, Speed, & Growth] Thumbs size for Tops posts & pages widget](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbs-size-for-tops-posts-pages-widget/) * Thread Starter [MasterBen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/masterben/) * (@masterben) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbs-size-for-tops-posts-pages-widget/#post-4045455) * I can but the site in question is NSFW so not sure if that’s OK for this forum? * If possible, please contact me at my email guysheaven (at) gmail (dot) com and I will show you the URL. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Jetpack - WP Security, Backup, Speed, & Growth] Thumbs size for Tops posts & pages widget](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbs-size-for-tops-posts-pages-widget/) * Thread Starter [MasterBen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/masterben/) * (@masterben) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thumbs-size-for-tops-posts-pages-widget/#post-4045446) * Hi, thanks for the answer.
