In reply to: RSS feed editingThanks for the ideas. You mentioned that I wouldn’t want to make a custom feed template after all. What file would I need to insert the code to call get_the_content_feed() and modify it so that the modified output shows up in the RSS feed?

In reply to: RSS feed editingThank you for the suggestion. I agree, that seems like a better approach. From reading on this, the steps to set up a custom RSS template make sense, but the PHP coding may be a challenge since I have little experience with it. Are you aware of any plugins that might ease the process of doing this?

This did the trick. The display issues are fixed, and the menu is loading noticeably faster than before. Thanks so much!

Sure. I removed the code temporarily since it had been a few days, but just added it back to the header so you can see it live. The issue appears on mobile. Also, here is a screenshot as requested:

Just an update – I added the CSS code to the header, and I feel like I can see much quicker loading of the menu on the desktop. However, when I pull up the site on mobile now, the header menu is all jumbled and the mobile menu missing. Do you think there’s a way to fix that, or would it be best to remove the CSS?
Hi – it does appear that my optimization plugin was the source of these issues. After disabling it, the caching related issues have disappeared. Thanks for the help. One last question – on the CSS lines to load the menu in parallel, I believe I’ve added it to the site header, if I did it correctly, and I believe I may notice an improvement in speed of the menu loading. Do you recommend I keep this code even though the caching related issues have resolved?
Hi – thanks for the reply. I’m still in the process of testing/debugging to see if the suggestions resolve the issues and if I can find a work around. Will let you know
Thanks – but unfortunately I am still having issues after attempting to exclude this file from caching: premium-nav-menu.min.js. They may have even worsened as I can’t get the menus to show up on the homepage, both on desktop and mobile.
I tried adding premium-nav-menu.min.js to the exclusion list for my wpspeed plugin which didn’t help. I then reached out to my host (wpengine) and asked them how to exclude this file from caching. The person I spoke with initially said they can only exclude paths, arguments, and cookies. They added the premium-nav-menu.min.js file to the exclusion list, and also created a web rule setting, URI type, with value “no-store” for the path: ^/wp-content\plugins\premium-addons-for-elementor\assets\frontend\min-js\premium-nav-menu.min.js
But the issues persist. Is it possible there is another problem going on besides the caching?
Is there any way/setting I can use to force the menu to load in parallel with the site assets, rather than at the end after all site assets are loaded? I would like to eliminate the delayed load of the menu if testing doesn’t reveal any problems.

I’ll give that a try. Thank you
If I don’t have an easy way to set the pages to cache for 12 hours or less, would you recommend I use the alternate mechanism to store data in the database instead of setting the cookie option to Off? Are there any disadvantages/downsides to using the alternate mechanism compared to the “Off” option? I assumed there are some, otherwise Off would not be the default setting?
Thanks for the reply. The “loop” seems fixed now. Clearing all web caches may have fixed it.
Regarding regularly seeing the SpamFireWall pop-ups with the countdowns (not referring to the loop issue): Currently my “set cookies” is OFF. I see this is the recommended setting. Can you tell me what effects changingit to “Store data in web database” would have? Will this reduce the number of SpamFireWall pop-up screens users see? Does this have any effects on SpamFireWall’s effectiveness or on the database/site’s performance?
