 * It’s not a bug report. Its a complaint about how the functionality is conceived.
   If you don’t want to implement it, that is up to you.

 * Hi Matt – Unfortunately that article did not help. The heartbeat plugin is only
   for limiting calls to ajax, not for expanding or making sure it is not blocked.
   The GTmetrix instructions don’t work because this only happens in the admin, 
   behind a login. In any case, it’s pretty obvious that Give is the problem since
   every time I turn it on, the admin side of the site slows to a crawl.
 * I tried the plugin on another site / server, and it is fine (as expected). I 
   guess it comes down to server settings. But I guess I’m surprised that this only
   shows up on Give. Isn’t ajax used throughout ?

 * Thanks Matt – I checked and the files inside wp-admin were set to 655 (the folder
   was 755). So I changed them all. Unfortunately this made no difference.

 * Hi Matt – I also did those things already. There were some odd things in the 
   htaccess file, but I cleared them out and re-saved the permalinks and htaccess
   looks right now. I did also connect with the host and they did not have anything
   helpful to say. Very mysterious.

 * Thanks. I was actually thinking of using the preloaded addon. I figure I can 
   count the posts and assign an order number to them, then pass that on to my single
   page and on the way back I can dynamically generate the shortcode to preload 
   all posts up the one I want to return to.
 * Could that work? Well, I’m about to try it, so I’ll report back.

 * I fixed this within a bout a minute posting. I had borrowed the following code
   to highlight search terms on the front end, but it turns out it affected the 
   back end as well:
 *     ```
       //Highlight Search Terms
       function highlight_search_term($text){
           if(is_search()){
       		$keys = implode('|', explode(' ', get_search_query()));
       		$text = preg_replace('/(' . $keys .')/iu', '<span class="search-term"></span>', $text);
       	}
           return $text;
       }
       add_filter('the_excerpt', 'highlight_search_term');
       add_filter('the_title', 'highlight_search_term');
       ```

 * I agree with John. There is total lack of clarity as to how the plugin actually
   interfaces with specific content. It would appear that I can put custom content
   in a lightbox. But how to do this is a mystery.

 * Be aware that this can be a very difficult thing to resolve. Sometimes it’s better
   to cut your losses and re create your website. If you have the template and the
   text? Or go back to a backup. Most hosting companies to have regularly scheduled
   backups, sometimes going back to a month.
 * Having said that there is good info here:

 * Here is how I addressed this problem. Of course, this will exclude single day
   archives from ever showing up. In my case that is OK. You have to put this before
   everything else in the archives page, or call it there via a function.
 *     ```
       <?php
       //redirect single day archive url to the first post for that day
       $archiveURL = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
       $datePieces = explode('/', $archiveURL );
       $datePieces = array_filter($datePieces, 'strlen');
       unset($datePieces[1]); //I'm deleting this bc the site is in a sub-directory
       $datePieces = array_values($datePieces);
       	if ( count($datePieces) > 2 ) : //This leaves monthly archives (yyyy/mm/)alone
       	$my_query = new WP_Query( array(
       							'posts_per_page' => 1,
       								'date_query' => array (
       										array(
       											'year' => $datePieces[0],
       											'month' => $datePieces[1],
       											'day' => $datePieces[2], ))));
       		while( $my_query->have_posts() ) : $my_query->the_post();
       			$postURL = get_permalink();
       		endwhile;
       		header( 'location: '.$postURL );
       	endif;
       ?>
       ```

 * My problem is the exact opposite. RSM is being applied to a custom menu in a 
   widget and I don’t want that. I see these instructions:
 * Selectively Activate Theme Locations
    Disable the above and activate only the
   theme locations you want. These theme locations correspond to the Theme Locations
   Meta Box in Appearance > Menus
 * But I don’t see any place to apply this. How do I “activate only the theme locations”
   I want?
 * Thanks
