Search Results for 'amp'

Hi,

About my issues: if I put twitter/face usernames with less than 1.000 fans/followers, the number show properly. If has 1.000 of more, appears only “1”. Example: 1405 fans (1 Fan); or 15150 fans (15 Fans)….

In any case, the word “Followers” appears (with the final “s” letter, so in plural). I think that is taking an abbreviated value.

They do this normally unless you put in a background color from the theme panel to create boxed layout 🙂

Perfect! Thanks. The homepage links work now.

BUT…. what if we want to make it a little more customized? Like this…

1. The share links on the homepage (Twitter & FB) should add UTM params – https://share.america.gov/?utm_source=shareamerica&utm_medium=homepage&utm_campaign=list — replace “https://share.america.gov/” with the full URL of the article and put today’s date in there too

2. The share links on the individual post for the similar articles (Twitter & FB) should add UTM params – https://share.america.gov/?utm_source=shareamerica&utm_medium=postpage&utm_campaign=similararticles-YYYY-MM-DD : replace “https://share.america.gov/” with the full URL of the article

3. The share links on the individual post for top share buttons (Twitter & FB) should add UTM params – https://share.america.gov/?utm_source=shareamerica&utm_medium=postpage&utm_campaign=sharetop-YYYY-MM-DD : replace “https://share.america.gov/” with the full URL of the article

4. The share links on the individual post for botom share buttons (Twitter & FB) should add UTM params – https://share.america.gov/?utm_source=shareamerica&utm_medium=postpage&utm_campaign=sharebottom — replace “https://share.america.gov/” with the full URL of the article

Can this be done?

Thanks,
David

So, one aspect of “responsive” design (good and bad), is that it’s better to load a 25kb image once than load the 25kb image once and the 12kb image together and switch those out on viewport. Better to load the 25kb image ONCE, then resize to fit the aspect you’re looking at when you look at it.

I agree it’s best to load the image only once. All I’m saying (and is what I believe Google Pagespeed is saying) is that we should request the version of the image that is best fit to the screen at it’s current orientation, and then if the device changes the viewport, the image will be resized locally, which is essentially what newspaper does now at a certain level.

For example, if I load my homepage and resize the browser window down to 767 pixels, I see this image which is only 326px wide being displayed at over 700 px wide WITHOUT reloading the image, as seen in the screenshot below, second image down:

Does that make sense? If someone really was bothered by the pixelated images, they’d probably realize that they could simply re-orient their device to how they loaded the page or simply reload the page. It seems terribly inefficient to me to have every single person download a high-resolution image on the off-chance that they will flip from portrait to landscape while viewing the page…

The other benefit of using the larger image is for retina/HD displays on a mobile device which have higher pixel count than desktop; so again, if you do the pixel math, a 700×500 image on a screen with double the pixel count, loaded half size, would still provide the same number of pixels when shown half size — without having to load alternate retina/HD version of image or use “image stacks.”

I agree, it does look nice on “Retina” phone screens, which is why I disabled my retina plugin on mobile devices. I think it would simply be a better solution to have Newspaper serve a 300 px wide image, and then allow the retina plugin to substitute the @2x version, rather than serving everyone the hi-res image.

Doesn’t that seem more efficient?

@Shashank

I don’t think Google wants us to have awful image quality on our sites. I think they just want images to be as small as they can be at their current quality and sized correctly for the display device.

For example, the theme is serving 700 pixel wide images on smartphones where the viewport is 320 css pixels, which Google doesn’t like.

The other thing they don’t like is having wasted bytes in an image. I am compressing all of my images at JPEG quality 90 in pixelmator. I then run them through JPEGOptim, jpegtran, and jpegrescan at a quality of 90 and the file size drops by about half. Then I upload them and Google tells me they can still be a few KB smaller… I don’t care about that so much as I care about serving the wrong dimension of thumbnails to visitors.

I wish the theme made different thumbnails for iPad landscape, iPad portrait, and mobile phone so that we wouldn’t be serving oversized images, which Google hates, take a look at the image below:

When I had the retina plugin enabled for mobiles, it was trying to serve a 1490×966 image on the mobile phone. I had to disable that plugin for mobiles, because newspaper is delivering an image larger than a standard 2x retina image for all mobile phones regardless of whether or not they have the pixels to display the entire image.

I guess I’ll focus on the other things I can do something about, but I wish this would be addressed in a theme update if it’s possible with the bootstrap framework…

Same over here, the dropdown menu is messed up after updating to 4.4

example: http://goo.gl/F1fyL

This is what i’ve tried so far:

– Flush all cache (no improvement)
– Disable all plugins (no improvement)
– Deactivating Cloudflare (no improvement)
– Rolling back to 4.3 (dropdown menu looked fine again)
– Installed 4.4 (dropdown messed up)

I will follow this topic for updates.

Cheers!

Hi Lucien,

Thanks for picking up the error – it is related to my mailing list widget and I’m investigating it. I changed the max_input_vars from 1000 to 3500 (the highest option) and it is still not working. I tried to change the custom css on another page and it is doing the same thing. I deactivated all my optional plugins and tried again – same thing. I also tried it in a different browser & on a different PC & on a different connection…
I’m really not sure how to proceed from here?

Thanks

Thanx for the answer
The id from video is ok! I see in your sample, you tried the video and can’t played in widget. In my case, if write the id from this video in playlist widget, the widget no showed in site. Some others video working good! The problem is in any Greek video with or without restrictions

Wellll…… you can supposedly specify which area to crop from in the new media editor in WordPress if they enabled that, and we used to use a plugin for that, which I am going to plead stupid on at the moment.

I think it was this one!
https://wordpress.org/plugins/manual-image-crop/

This seems very popular
https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-thumbnail-editor/

for example, have not tested this one
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/my-eyes-are-up-here

For consistent thumbnails, based on files you upload, remember that WP will reduce images to fit those specified by the theme and the three sizes in the media settings, but will NOT enlarge them. You need to use the thumbnail upscale plugin which we use here in addition to the auto post thumbnail pro plugin (paid).

Not sure if that helps.

Thank you for your respond, but may be you can give me the instructions how can I close the comments and keep all old comments of the post published. I tried to modify comments.php, but looks like that I need to modify other files as well (single.php?). May be you can write some kind of hotfix for this problem.

All I want to remove comment form and leave all comments when

1. allow comment is not ticked

2. the time expired for example after 2 weeks (Automatically close comments on articles older then 14 days is ticked).

Thank you.

Perfect example, the second link you provided is “not available in your country” when I go to visit it (I’m in USA).

So, it does have some “restrictions” on its use.

First video works for me just fine.

COPYING THIS FROM OTHER THREAD FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ASKED ME COUPLE OF TIMES ABOUT REMOVING GOOGLE FONTS FROM FUNCTIONS.php … ref: Newspaper 4.2/4.2.2 — not tested with 4.3, but presumably same idea:
