Future Directions

• A nicer feed view of the story

HTTPS

• If you are experiencing issues related to assets being loaded via http (and your site is using https), check your settings and ensure that the site URLs are set to https.

Troubleshooting

Only try these after experiencing issues

• Firstly make sure that your www directory is owned by the correct user
• In your wp-config.php file, add define('FS_CHMOD_DIR', 0777 );
• Contact help@shorthand.com and ben@shorthand.com for further support and feedback
• Some WP Plugins can aggressively cache or control how content is displayed at the theme-level; check page templates to ensure nothing is conflicting.
