hello,
My web site does a strange movement when I activate the background. When I scroll, the block that is below the menu, moves and then go to the correct position. Any idea? (I disable all plugins, and clear cache)
thanks
Hi Simion,
I took out the custom CSS I had, cleared cache but it’s still there. There is no other custom code on the site.
Here is the site: https://www.vrfitnessinsider.com/
Thank you!
Hello ahujasahil,
I have checked your website but I did not saw any problems with your icons. Everything seems to be there. Provide some useful screenshots of the problem so I can identify it. Clear all the caches, purge CDN files and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
Never mind, think it was a cache issue
Hi,
The featured image can be bigger, for example the live theme demos use in some cases much bigger image sizes
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
This will however not have an impact, these original images will not be loaded in their full size on the website. Only thumbnails created from them will be shown
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
Of course images can be further optimized. If you do not set featured images the modules in block and grids will display a default placeholder thumb. Of course your hosting plan has be ready for increased content and traffic

Hello Samuel Rosario,
Please check your WordPress version and if you are not using the latest version of it you should update it and then, update them via FTP way because this is the surest method in this case. Remove all of the untested plugins if you are using something like this, clear all the caches and check the results.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello gorgiusgirls,
Please provide your website URL so I can test it. Ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme installed via FTP way, remove all of the untested plugins, clear all the caches and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
Maybe it is a cache issue. Since the latest update (8.7.4) Facebook in the social counter requires just the ID, no other information is required
– https://www.screencast.com/t/tNlu4c6t
So no need for Facebook security keys or tokens.
You could try changing the ID a few times, use some test IDs (coca-cola or bbc for example). The counter should display accurate counts. Then switch back to your ID and check the results.
Thanks
Hello 123mallemaala,
Please ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme and if not, please update it via FTP way, clear all the caches and check the results. The Facebook should have to be resolved and should works as expected in the latest version of the theme.
Thanks for your understanding!
Nothing to do with cache, right? I tried to see in icognito mode too, its same.
Please help!!
This is a little odd… When I set the theme up originally I created a variety of sidebars to be used on different news categories. I did it via the newspaper theme pages following the instructions in docs.
I added a couple of adverts yesterday and have issues:
The advert created using the default sidebar ad (theme panel >ads) shows.
The advert created using the default header ad (theme panel > ads) shows.
The adverts added to custom ad 1 (same place) don’t show. It’s like they don’t exist.
Looking at widgets, if I drag a tag div ad box into a widget and select default sidebar ad, it works.
If I select anything else, it doesn’t.
If I copy and paste the advert code from the default sidebar ad and put that in the custom ad 1, it doesn’t work either.
I did wonder if this was a cache thing, so I disabled the cache and did it all again without cache. Exactly the same results. Basically, I can show whatever I put in the header advert and the default sidebar advert, but nothing else.
I have tried in all 3 browsers I use, clearing caches before testing. No change. In any event, the cache isn’t an issue because as soon as I add the default sidebar to a post category, it works. The exact same code in the custom ad box doesn’t work. No matter what.
The other sidebar content (links to posts etc) works fine, regardless of sidebar chosen. It only affects ads.
Everything is updated – theme and plugins updated yesterday.
I can’t swear that this was different before yesterday (I went from previous to current versions), but I’m 75% sure it wasn’t. Maybe 90% sure.
What can be causing this?
Hello,
I have cleaned cache but not unseccessful. The post in homepage still show author and date. Template i use is Default template.
Thanks!
P/s: Now i test website on localhost.
Hello sahil,
To understand that the problem just happens only on the frontend? Do you have cleared all of your caches before checking the results? Remove all of the untested plugins, purge CDN files and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
Yes, I removed the old theme (EXTRA) and divi builder from the stage site, but it appears it is still creeping in. I’m using WPRocket as a cache so maybe that is not configured properly, I am noticing a lot of caching problems as well. I will try rebuilding the pages from scratch, but I did not use the builder on posts.
I’ll check with my host and my web developer and see what I can do. Thanks for pointing all this out. I really want to make this theme work.
Hello trongnghiait,
Clear all the caches and check the results.
Thanks for the message!
update:
I have disabled all the plugin and deleted the cache.
After that, featured images appeared.
I’ve reactivated the plugin one at a time and now it works.
The more delicate was wp-super-cache… but there are instructions on the plugin page
I panicked a bit … because I did not know where to start
I hope to be good in the future.
Hello mmedia6587,
Please understand that the main functionality of AMP plugin is to display the posts very quickly on the Google’s eye. Basically, when a client in on AMP version, he is not on your website (that’s why your visits were falling down more and more ) and the main goal is to redirect it to your own website. The AMP will have to be viewed as a preview of the posts pages of your website which are delivered by the Google AMP Cache. This is a proxy-based content delivery network for delivering all valid AMP documents. It fetches AMP HTML pages, caches them, and improves page performance automatically. For more information about this case and to better understand the operating system for this plug-in, please check the following useful manual from here -> https://www.searchenginejournal.com/difference-accelerated-mobile-pages-amp-mobile-friendly-pages/172967/
As a very good example, please check the official page of Seo Yoast and there you will see that they have not implemented the menu bar on AMP pages, as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/OfzMGTLPQk
Also, please notice that AMP will work only for pages which were made with a simple text and not with some page builder elements.
For more references and for a better understanding of AMP functionality please read the plugin documentation!!!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello jamie,
1)Errors happened during tdcIframeData.init() -> bindViewsModelsWrappers()!
Please do not use this setting in Seo by Yoast:
https://www.screencast.com/t/n8Cc35EofLh Also, if you are using the WP Super Cache plugin, please ensure that has been right setup according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
2)Also, the third important rule is to do not edit a page which was created with Visual Composer with TD Composer.
Also, I have inspected your website and I saw that you are using some untested plugins which can interact with the theme core files and causes a lot of unknown issues like this.
For more information about how you should use our page builder incorrect way on our theme, please check the following useful tutorial here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial-2/
Clear all the caches and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello sahitl,
I have inspected your website and I saw that pagination does not work, sorry! Also, I have noticed that you are using a lot of untested plugins which can interact with the theme core files and causes a lot of unknown issues. Please remove all of them, clear all the caches, purge CDN files and check the results -> https://www.screencast.com/t/6oR86fJu Notice that the first step for WordPress debugging is to remove untested plugins. If the problem is still there, please try making a new install to another subdomain for testing and check the results.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
The website you provided does not use the Newspaper theme fully from what I can see at the moment. On posts the theme applies partly, the homepage seems to be built with a different builder.
There are also issues with the usability of the website and loading. The menu cannot be used properly, the post pages are broken
– https://www.screencast.com/t/aDoqyjNM8Lj
There are errors concerning the loaded resources from cache
– https://www.screencast.com/t/hYKfKk9NyVcI
If you want to use the theme, please deactivate other page builders and create pages using the tagDiv composer and multi-purpose plugin (ads more elements to the tagDiv composer)
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/
Check with your hosting about the errors I mentioned, they might be able to help you. Let us know.
Thanks
Hello Ant0ni0411,
Please update the theme again via FTP way to be sure that your install has been correctly made. Remove all of the untested plugins, clear all the caches, purge CDN files and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
A backup plugin and a security plugin are the bare minimum requirements for a wordpress website. I have tried a couple of security plugins (one free, one premium) and have tried to use backupbuddy, which I have paid for and use on about 20 sites, but if I use them, your speed booster plugin is disabled.
Is there anything that doesn’t disable it but allows backups and security?
I also use wp-rocket (on 20+ sites) and have yet to have a problem with it. It seems to work okay with your theme but the theme status page says I’m not using a cache plugin. Why is that?
In that post they show – https://www.screencast.com/t/YxekSyZwKuiC
But in others they are missing for me as well
– https://www.screencast.com/t/AFom8G40e
Seems there is a visual issue, the ads are there but not visible. The lazyload animation seems to be broken due to some errors probably
– https://www.screencast.com/t/XVxPFTbDU
I could give you a code to make the ads visible
– https://www.screencast.com/t/DdHbGGbuL
You can enter that in Theme panel->Custom CSS
body.td-animation-stack-type0 .post ins img {
opacity: 1;
}
But you could try to find what exactly is causing this problem. Start by deactivating all plugins if possible as a quick test, leave only theme plugins active. Clear the cache and check if this has any effect.
Check code entered in theme panel, theme files and child theme. Something is creating this conflict.
Hello,
I have tested this on my end but could not recreate it. The sidebar changes as expected: https://www.screencast.com/t/bLhJbZcSpU
Please check your cache and clear it after you make changes in the theme panel.
Also make sure you have content added to your other sidebars.
Thanks.
