Hi @ncalex,
The plugin Regenerate Thumbnails does not regenerate size 265 x 198 Module M1 (Mobile Theme) and 741 x 486 Big Grid (Mobile Theme).
Because of this, on AMP related articles use full image size, instead of 265 x 198 Module M1 and same full image in Big Grid.
*265 x 198 Module M1 (Mobile Theme) and 741 x 486 Big Grid (Mobile Theme) works fine on upload of image.
*Regenerate Thumbnails works for all other sizes, except for Mobile Theme sizes.
– Looks like Regenerate Thumbnails plugin doesn’t “see” Mobile sizes.
Can you please check.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
We managed to fix it by going into the Settings of the AddThis-Plugin.
And changing the Setting regarding AMP.
Hey,
we have problem with our site mobile menu and mobile search, they won’t show/work properly.
We have been using Newspaper-theme couple of years, and mobile menu and mobile search worked fine before. These problems came recently.
Our site is: https://halloota.com/
The example Default theme page I have posted in my above post has the video on top and is still Outside the Viewport.
The articles cannot always have the video on top, they need to be in context.
So, I tested the TagDiv Newspaper Default theme with the Google Mobile Friendly testing tool. Screenshot of the Google test result
The test result: https://search.google.com/test/mobile-friendly/result?id=8M2iKKmwbUhHvAHJwHagRQ
This shows the video Outside the Viewport, and this is what the Google Bot is seeing and resulting in errors.
If we can fix this issue, it will help countless other website owners and publishers as well.
For example, the video here on the Default Newspaper theme is rendering properly: https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_pro/td-post-after-effects-guru-tracking-and-stabilizing-footage/
But I cannot find a page with embedded video on the Life Pro News theme option.
Ok. So, I did some research and did my own testing. Looks like when the Google Bot crawls the page, the YouTube video is actually Outise the viewport because when you see this example page on a mobile device/browser inspector: https://www.teslaoracle.com/2020/08/10/giga-austin-landscaping-drone-video/
You can see that before coming to its final form, the video is expanded vertically and horizontally, it settles after a few moments. This is what is causing the issue and it’s definitely coming from the theme not anything to do with my custom CSS as I also tried removing the CSS and re-testing.
This is causing huge SEO issues for my website and has given a dent to my traffic hence lost revenue, please fix it and provide and update to the theme, so that publishers like me can recover from the loss.
Hi NyttenET,
I made some deep research and it looks that the ” https://www-eurasiantimes-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/” is related to AMP Cache URL Format and Request Handling, normally if you don’t use AMP, when a reader clicks one of your links on the https://news.google.com site they should be redirected to your site. On mobile, the article is instead opened in the Google News app and the reader can still optionally visit your site from the article.
Thank you!
Hello!
Similar topics regarding GA4 are here:
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-find-and-add-call-to-action-google-analytics-tracking-code/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/track-ad-performance/
For example, you can add a trigger in the header, and when you use the infinite scroll, the count will be 1. Otherwise, you can add the trigger to the content, and it will count all the posts that load.
Thank you!
Hi,
After I updated to the Newspaper theme version 12.6.1, suddenly the Google Search Console started giving me errors on Video Indexing Issues. It says that “Video outside the viewport”.
Please can you fix this issue in the next update or tell me how to fix this? Because before the update YouTube embeds were fine and these errors were minimal. I am using the latest version of WordPress 6.3.2.
Example URL: https://www.teslaoracle.com/2023/10/14/now-you-can-zip-through-neighborhoods-downtown-tampa-tesla-model-y-suvs/
Thanks for the reply, but on the mobile theme is it possible to use the active plugins in the desktop version? (for example whatsapp button, etc.)
Hello,
You can apply the filter only on the Flex Block and Big Grid Flex -> https://imgur.com/Nnt3zGX
The Posts Loops settings are divided into 5 tabs: General, Layout, Style, ADS and CSS. The Posts loop is a special block and doesn’t have filtering options.
Also, one of the options for pagination of the Posts Loop has the option for normal numbered and the flex blocks do not have this option.
The Posts Loop is automatically filtering the posts depending on the cloud template you set (for example on the category page there will be posted posts from that category).
Thank you!
Hello,
Using our theme, you can choose from 3 mobile versions
-> mobile responsive => https://www.screencast.com/t/oJ2ShOp47 you need to deactivate the tagdiv mobile theme plugin.
-> mobile theme plugin => https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/ you need to activate the plugin.
-> mobile page => https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-10-3-7-update-brings-customizable-and-fast-mobile-pages/
If you created the mobile pages with tagDiv Composer, then when you install the Mobile Theme plugin, your pages will be overwritten by the plugin (the mobile theme comes with its templates for page, post, category, etc so your current templates from the desktop theme will get converted to the mobile theme layout, the page content is made without builders in mobile editor => https://www.screencast.com/t/xbgZG8kH also, the options that are provided to edit the mobile theme version are limited (this keeps the things simple)).
This is a video about Responsive Newspaper Theme, AMP & Mobile Theme, Mobile Pages & Templates -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpGkOnJeNZY
So, the mobile responsive is what you see then that you select the viewport on phone => https://www.screencast.com/t/matV17hH, so some settings may apply for each viewport(where is the border blue), and others are not(where the border is black).
The mobile page has the mobile templates from Cloud Library => https://www.screencast.com/t/YCcZ8rL8
The Mobile responsive version of the theme and the mobile page editor can be edit with tagDiv Composer, the mobile theme plugin cannot.
For example, you can have the mobile theme plugin activated and use the mobile page/mobile responsive version for the homepage/pages, but for the categories pages/404 page, you can’t use the mobile page/mobile responsive version if you have the mobile theme plugin activated.
So, if you want to design the pages with tagDiv Composer, you can use the mobile page or mobile responsive version.
Thank you!
Hi, I finished creating my site, now I have some questions about the “mobile theme” option of newspaper:
1) to use the “mobile theme” do I have to install the “tagDiv Mobile Theme” plugin? After installing the plugin, will the “mobile theme” become operational immediately?
2) if I wanted to return to the responsive version, what should I do?
3) does the mobile theme have a totally new layout? Do any plugins (for example push notifications) continue to work?

Hi Petra,
The theme settings are saved in database and if the theme was used on the restore backup, then the database should contain the theme settings, just make sure that the theme plugins are also installed, for example tagDiv Composer, if you are using classic templates, then you’ll also need the tagDiv Standard pack plugins and for cloud templates the tagDiv Cloud Library, all those plugins can be installed from Newspaper > plugins.
Thank you!
Hi akashdeep305,
When the mobile theme plugin is used, then this will used only the “Transitional Mode” mod for amp. If is used only amp without mobile theme, you need to use the “Reader” option to work with our theme.
For further support please provide a link to your website where I can see the amp problem with ” page with loading icon and nothing open”.
Thank you!
Hi,
I have 2 types of content: normal wp posts (news) and custom posts (moto) created with the plugin CPT UI.
How does infinite scroll work when previous posts option is selected?
In the news template, I’ve set this option but it never shows motos, only wp “native” posts.
What can I do or what settings do I need for the infinite scroll to work like this:
show all type of posts & categories ordered by publication date?
Thx in advance.
Strange, I’m using the recommended plugin WP Super Cache. There are no problems with the standard gallery. For example, everything is normal here – https://libymax.ru/smart-ochki-mini-augmented-vision-glass/.
On this page https://libymax.ru/carlex-mercedes-g63-amg-steampunk-edition/ in the error console I see a 404 error for the gallery buttons – arrowscleft30.png:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (). There are no left-right buttons…

Hello Mariano!
Yes. If you run this plugin: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/, then the images will automatically be cropped for blocks.
This will help to improve your page speed, but also to fit the images in the blocks.
For other places, you can choose the sizes you want. For example, here: https://cloud.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-basic-design-principles-to-decorate-your-home/ the image you talk about is a featured image, which we chose to display in full size.
We’re here to help you and answer all your questions.
Thank you!
