Hi Andril,
Sorry for the delayed response, i’ve been in hospital, so haven’t been able to reply.
I uninstalled all plugins that i had running, reinstalled on WP 3.9.1, and only ran the plugins that accompanied the theme – that seemed to fix the problem. so we’re all good here – thanks!
On a side note – there is another question that I would like to ask please –
How can i completely disable all calls to the google fonts api / google in general – I am generating a site that will be mainly viewed in China, hence, ANY calls to anything google will slow the page load speeds down to ridiculously slow.
Thanks!
