Hi there, I noticed a couple of times that when I looked at the site on mobile the forms don’t show.
Realised it’s the AMP version vs the normal version.
e.g. https://www.mykidstime.com/for-parents/join-us-for-the-mykidstime-21-day-fitness-challenge/amp/
should show the form like so:
https://www.mykidstime.com/for-parents/join-us-for-the-mykidstime-21-day-fitness-challenge/
What can be done about this as we don’t want forms not to show of course. Does the AMP plugin block out the forms?
Thanks
Hi, how I can set author box sticky on posts, and custom posts, so when the reader moves down, author block moves with him. I see such option available on pages, but not on posts.
Thanks
Hi,
I installed tagDiv Speed Booster plugin on my blog running Newspaper 9.2.2, I followed https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ guide, but without results in google page insights for problem “Remove render blocking css/js”.
I’m wondering if tagDiv Speed Booster plugin is compatible with Newspaper 9.2.2.
thanks for help!
Hi,
You can try couple of things, first activate the mobile theme of Newspaper, that will bring the speed upto/over 45 (mobile).
Next you need to check the render blocking scripts.
I used this tutorial to bring those down. (you need to understand coding for a little while)
https://searchtides.com/eliminate-render-blocking-javascript-css-fold-content/
Also I am using lot of plugins to get the work done, You can also check some for yourself.
JCH Optimize is a good one to bring the speed index up. But remember if with plugins, the website might not work properly. So, keep experimenting.
I use WP Super chache, since any other cache plugin does not make the new stories appear, and you would end up cleaning the cache every time you post a new story/article. It is not the best Cache plugin, but seems to be the only one working with Newspaper.
We also use WP Smush Pro to keep the images size low.
Some of the plugins might reduce the desktop site index, as it puts more load on server, so make sure you have good RAM and CPU on the server.
Newspaper requires good amount of resources to be quick, no matter what anyone says you need good amount of RAM and CPU for your site to be fast if you are using this theme :).
However, Newspaper is much better than other themes we have seen, as they keep it updated and their support is excellent. Only thing missing here is infinite article load and infinite smart list load. Probably we will see it in the next update. That will make bounce rate lower and also time spend on site higher.
Hope all this helps!
Hi Spu,
I have your same problem on my website, in particular I got “Render-Blocking Resources” to fix.
I saw your mobile performance is very good right now (76 mobile Google Page Insights).
Could you tell me which WP plugins did you install?
Thanks
Blocks images are not loading on my website
Hi,
On http://www.tirananews.al I want the flex block 1 to have the same height? I have tried to play with title length and excerpt length to have them in same line but no results.
Regards,
Cesk
I solved the problem above by changing the columns padding to 0 px, and paste this to the phones repsonsive CSS section.
But one last question anyway. The 8 px botton padding works pefect for the image block as well as for the column block. Exept from when the block after is a text block without a heading. The text then comes to close to the picture, both on desktop and mobile. Is this possible to adjust as well?

Hi everybody,
we own ahrensburg-portal.de with newspaper 9 installed. Unfortunately, the Thumbs on Startpage looks really bad compressed on non-retina monitors. I tried everything, but unfortunately without any luck. On Retina-Screens, it really looks way better. Here is an example:
Original Post:
https://ahrensburg-portal.de/vhs-ahrensburg-startet-ins-fruehjahrssemester/
Small thumb for retina:
https://ahrensburg-portal.de/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/IMG_3641-e1547204708382-200×140.jpg
Really small thumb for normal screen:
https://ahrensburg-portal.de/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/IMG_3641-e1547204708382-100×70.jpg
Is there a change the image sizes for the small thumbs of the blocks or do you have any other hint for me?
Thanks and greetings

Hi – I have created a homepage – http://jazzreview.co.uk – using Flex Block 3 which looks great on desktop and mobile but on tablet landscape the columns lengths change and on tablet portrait column lengths and header menu break. How do I solve this? Happy to have tablet portrait go to mobile format and menu (how do I set for that?) but tablet landscape would like columns to retain equal lengths. Thanks
hi
I don’t speak about the images of blocks I speak about the images in the sidebar (Recent posts and home posts )
how can i change my titles h3 to h2 block 2
Thanks a million. The provided CSS totally solved the desktop issue; it looks perfect now.
On my iPhone I still have a larger padding above the two portrait format pictures. Also I have a small extra padding to the right of the first portrait picture, and dito to the left of the second portrait format picture (in the column block).
Are those issues possible to sole as well?
Thanks again.
Since a few weeks the featured images that my site shows are of a lower resolution. The original images themselves are high quality (2000 pixels on the long side). The exact same image in the posts themselves are fine. When I watch the page in the tagDiv composer they also are the right resolution.
It seems that the posts in the list that are loaded during scrolling do have correctly sized thumbs. From the thirteenth post and down the thumbnails have the correct resolution.
The first block on the frontpage is Big Grid 2 (Module MX9 and MX10). The list underneath is Block 11 (Module 10). The posts in the sidebar are Block 8 (Module 7).
The live website can be found at http://www.ommenaar.nl
I have rebuilt the frontpage, and regenerated all the thumbnails.
Active plugins:
Ad Blocker Notify Lite
Envato Market
Classic Editor
Regenerate Thumbnails
tagDiv Composer
WP Super Cache
Yoast SEO
These haven’t changed the last months.
Hi,
I have a little problem with this code now since I’m using Gutenberg and shortcodes.
So my first block is a “shortcode block” with a shortcode creating 2 columns. In the left one I have my picture (that I want to hide on mobiles) and the text in the right one.
The look and feel is way better than before.
But now my 1st picture is showing on mobiles…
Can you kindly help?
Hi,
Unfortunately those are Gutenberg settings not Newspaper and we can not change those settings, but if you want we can provide you a css that change the padding for those images
https://www.screencast.com/t/bcIgqEX1Z
Just add this custom css in Newspaper>theme panel>Custom code>Custom css -.
.single .wp-block-column:not(:last-child) {
margin-right: 5px;
}
.single .wp-block-column:not(:first-child) {
margin-left: 5px;
}
.single .wp-block-image{
margin-bottom: 8px;
}
.single .has-2-columns .wp-block-column{
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
Hope this will help you!
Thanks.
Hello
Having updated to the Gutenberg editor I am experiencing some challenges with the paddings between the pictures.
1. Using two picture blocks after each other give me a padding twice the size I had before the upgrade. I find the smaller padding nicer.
2. I use columns block (not the picture gallery block) when I have two portrait format pictures; as this shows the pictures next to each other on desktop and one under the other on mobile. But I get a huge padding between the two pictures on desktop and also bigger padding between the column block and the next picture block than usually.
Is this something which will be changed in next theme updates? Is it possible to create a “same padding as before Gutenberg” adjustment by CSS code?
New padding with Gutenberg: https://test.ladiesabroad.se/2019/01/gutte-pyrgos-pa-santorini-alltsa/
Old (nice) padding: https://www.ladiesabroad.se/2019/01/hong-kong-utflykt-macao.html

Hello
I am using PHP 7.2 and last version of Newspaper theme.
My website : http://www.jogging-plus.com
Yesterday evening, I saw that my website homepage + 2 others pages were blank whereas I did nothing
I managed to connect to site admin and saw that all theme panel options had been reset to blank (no more sidebar widgets, no more logo, no more ads, no more colours, no more block settings, nothing !!)
May someone know how this happened ??
I have set again all options but my website homepage is still blank ?!
2 other pages were blanks :
http://www.jogging-plus.com/calendrier/courses-5-10-15-km/france1/
http://www.jogging-plus.com/calendrier/trails/france/
For these pages, when I change URL france into france1, they work… Why ?? The pb is I use the last word of URL to display content of the page, so as I have changed it, the content is wrong… I could change my script by I would prefer solve the pb and keep france…
Thank you very much
Hi,
All the thumbs sizes can be found here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/obalAcR and from here you can see what kind of thumb sizes uses your blocks.
Thanks.
Could someone be so kind and help me rename the title on More articles box? At the moment it’s named Mai multe articole but I would like to change it to Articole recomandat. Found the source but don’t know what css code I should add in custom css.
Please see attached printscreen: https://imgur.com/a/E8sJLjQ
Thanks!
thanks for your reply, i have update php version to 7.2 from 5.4, install cache plugin and edit other setting. Now browser block script for load thumb.
Content blocked for unsafe script.
if i accept to load a unsafe content, thumbs loading.
Hi,
1. I think the best flex for mobile is that one that you can make it to look clean and nice.
You can use a flex block and set settings per each device
On desktop: https://www.screencast.com/t/6HKNJjl35i
On mobile: https://www.screencast.com/t/Ik42eacS3DgK
2. This can be made only with custom css https://www.screencast.com/t/cnSbKWPgrnC
3. Yes you can use a smart list and hide the number with custom css, or use a smart list template from tagDiv Cloud Library and set opacity 0 on number count

Thank you for your understanding.
I just tryed what you said.
Theme is updated to the latest version. I deactivated all the plugins and I cleared the cache, and the problem persists.
I have observed the following:
– Witouth using TagDiv Composer, if I add a new block “Classic”, links there are not going to open in a new window.
– Witouth using TagDiv Composer, if I add a new block “Paragraph”, links there are going to open in a new window.
– Using TagDiv Composer, if I add a new block “Column text”, links there are going to open in a new window.
– Using TagDiv Composer, if I add a button, links there are not going to open in a new window.
So, right now the problem is only occuring while using Classic block witouth using TagDiv Composer and adding buttons with TagDiv Composer. In both cases links are not going to open in a new window even they are set to do that.
I regret the day I decided to update wordpress, because the new version is very bad. If I install the plugin “Classic editor”, then I can’t see the text in posts or pages and I can’t do anything. It’s just a kind of bug or incompatibility with the theme.
I just don’t know how to solve this but it’s very annoying.
Hi,
Please provide one example here the pictures is not showing in the blocks, or a screenshot with it.
If you are referring to this https://www.screencast.com/t/q1FprFve5h than is possible to be set just one post to that category.
Thank you.
