Also let me correct my second response. I tried two different methods of import/export. First I tried using the Theme Panel “Export/Import”. When I did this, thats when I got different font sizes, headers would be missing etc. The second method I used was the one you mentioned above. Using WordPress composer and copying that code and pasting it. Thats when I got the broken images etc as you see in the image.
Do you have enough resources allocated?
Do you limit the number of queries on home page, and sidebars, footers? Try to limit to no more than 3 modules on pages and 5 on homepage.
Did you disable image format/sizes not needed for your chosen modeules?
Limit number of elements in a mega-menu?
Try using GTMetrix.com to see what you can improve beyond server resources.

Hello!
Check all these requirements for the theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Please note that page speed is not covered by the support team: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-support/
I recommend you use fewer features on the page so there will also be fewer requests.
Improving page speed in WordPress is crucial for providing a better user experience and optimizing your website for search engine rankings. Here are some tips to help you enhance your WordPress site’s page speed:
Optimize Images: Compress images before uploading them to your WordPress site. You can use plugins like WP Smush or EWWW Image Optimizer to automatically optimize images without losing quality.
Utilize Caching: Implement caching to reduce server load and speed up page loading times. WordPress caching plugins like WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache can generate static HTML files of your pages to serve users instead of dynamically generating them each time.
Minify CSS and JavaScript: Minify your CSS and JavaScript files to remove unnecessary characters and reduce file sizes. This can be done manually or through plugins like Autoptimize or W3 Total Cache.
Enable GZIP Compression: Enable GZIP compression on your server to reduce the size of files sent from your server to users’ browsers. Most hosting providers offer GZIP compression, but you can also enable it through plugins like WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache.
Optimize Database: Regularly clean up and optimize your WordPress database to remove unnecessary data and improve performance. You can use plugins like WP-Optimize to automate this process.
Limit External Requests: Minimize the number of external requests your website makes by reducing the use of external scripts and widgets. Each external request adds overhead to your page’s loading time.
Enable Lazy Loading: Implement lazy loading for images, videos, and iframes so that they are only loaded when they are visible on the user’s screen. This can significantly reduce initial page loading times.
Optimize Server Response Time: Choose a reliable hosting provider with fast server response times. Consider using a content delivery network (CDN) to serve your content from servers closer to your users.
Regularly Update Plugins and Themes: Keep your WordPress core, plugins, and themes updated to the latest versions to ensure compatibility with the latest performance optimizations and security patches.
Ads can significantly impact the speed of your WordPress website since they often involve loading external resources and scripts. You can try to limit the number of ads, optimize ad sizes and formats, and implement lazy loading on your ads.
By following these tips, you can significantly improve the page speed of your WordPress website, leading to better user engagement, higher search engine rankings, and overall improved performance.
Thank you!

Hi,
I have a problem with the mobile page layout on my site winbuzzer.com which does not show well on all screen sizes.
please see these images for two different phones:
https://winbuzzer.com/files/Samsung_Galaxy_S22_Chrome_Mobile.jpg

Hello!
A low text-to-HTML ratio means there is relatively little visible text content compared to the amount of HTML code on the page. This can negatively impact SEO because search engines prefer content-rich pages. To address this issue, here are several strategies you can implement:
1. Reduce Excessive HTML Code
Clean Up Inline CSS and JavaScript: Tools like WP Rocket or other caching plugins can help.
Remove Unnecessary HTML Markup: Ensure your HTML is clean and doesn’t contain redundant tags or attributes.
2. Add More Text Content
Increase the amount of meaningful, well-written text on your page. Focus on including relevant keywords and addressing user intent.
Use Alt Text for Images: Ensure that every image has descriptive alt text, which not only improves accessibility but also adds content to the page for search engines.
Use Descriptive Headers: Include H1, H2, H3 headers to structure your content. This increases readability and enhances your SEO.
3. Optimize for Core Web Vitals
Reduce Unnecessary Scripts and Plugins: Remove unnecessary plugins or extra scripts from your page. Too many scripts can increase the size of your HTML document.
Lazy Load Images: Implement lazy loading for images so they don’t bloat the initial HTML load.
4. Optimize Embedded Media
Host Media Externally: Embed videos from external platforms like YouTube or Vimeo instead of hosting them directly on your server, which can add a significant amount of HTML code.
Compress Images: Optimize image sizes using compression tools like TinyPNG to reduce the HTML document size related to image loading.
I hope that helps you!
Thank you!

Hello!
They are cropped automatically: https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/ ; that’s why you can disable the thumbs you are not using. Set up your thumbs from Newspaper -> Theme panel -> Block settings -> Thumbs on modules/blocks. If you deactivate a dimension from there, next time when you will upload an image, it will not be resized to that dimension.
After changing the thumbnail sizes you need to regenerate your thumbnails using a plugin. Check this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/

Hello!
LCP measures how quickly the largest content element (e.g., image, video, text block) becomes visible within the viewport. Improving LCP involves optimizing various aspects of your WordPress site. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to enhance LCP:
1. Optimize Images
Images are often the largest elements on the page, and optimizing them can significantly improve LCP.
Compress Images: Use tools like Smush, Imagify, or EWWW Image Optimizer to compress images without sacrificing quality.
Use Correct Image Format: Convert images to modern formats like WebP for faster loading.
Lazy Load Images: Lazy loading delays the loading of images until they’re needed. WordPress 5.5 and later versions come with native lazy loading, or you can use plugins like Lazy Load by WP Rocket.
Serve Scaled Images: Ensure images are served in appropriate sizes based on the device.
2. Enable Caching
Caching improves LCP by reducing server response times and decreasing the amount of work needed to load a page.
Browser Caching: Ensure that static resources like CSS, JS, and images are cached in the browser to speed up repeated visits.
3. Minimize CSS and JavaScript
Reducing the size and loading time of CSS and JavaScript files can help improve LCP.
Minify CSS and JavaScript: Use a plugin like Autoptimize to minify CSS and JavaScript files.
Defer Non-Critical JavaScript: Delay the loading of non-critical JavaScript by deferring or async loading to avoid blocking rendering.
Remove Unused CSS: Eliminate unused CSS using WP Rocket’s CSS optimization feature or manual removal for unneeded stylesheets.
4. Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN)
A CDN helps improve LCP by serving your content from servers closest to the user, reducing latency.
Integrate a CDN: Use services like Cloudflare, StackPath, or KeyCDN to serve static resources, like images, CSS, and JavaScript, from a global network of servers.
5. Optimize Fonts
Custom fonts can significantly affect LCP if not optimized properly.
Preload Key Fonts: Use the preload directive in your HTML to load important fonts early.
Use System Fonts: Alternatively, switch to system fonts for faster font rendering.
Font Display Property: Use the font-display: swap; CSS property to ensure text is visible while web fonts load.
6. Reduce Server Response Times (TTFB)
A fast server response time (Time to First Byte, TTFB) is essential for a good LCP score.
Upgrade Hosting: Choose a high-performance hosting provider, especially one that specializes in WordPress, like Kinsta, WP Engine, or SiteGround.
Use Latest PHP Version: Ensure your WordPress site is running the latest version of PHP (8.x) for better performance.
Database Optimization: Regularly clean up and optimize your WordPress database using plugins like WP-Optimize or Advanced Database Cleaner.
7. Reduce Third-Party Scripts
External resources can slow down the page, affecting LCP.
Minimize Third-Party Embeds: Reduce or optimize third-party scripts, such as Google Analytics, social media embeds, and advertising.
Use Tag Manager: If you use multiple tracking scripts, implement them through Google Tag Manager to load them asynchronously and reduce load impact.
8. Prioritize Above-the-Fold Content
The content visible above the fold (i.e., before scrolling) should load quickly for a better LCP score.
Inline Critical CSS: Inline essential CSS directly into the HTML to prioritize above-the-fold content. Tools like Autoptimize or WP Rocket can help with this.
Avoid Heavy Above-the-Fold Elements: Avoid large images or videos that slow down the loading of the above-the-fold content.
9. Use Lazy Load for Iframes and Videos
Similar to image lazy loading, delay loading of iframes and videos until they are needed.
Lazy Load Iframes: Use plugins like Lazy Load for Videos or WP Rocket’s built-in lazy load feature to defer video loading.
10. Monitor with Performance Tools
Continuously track your site’s LCP performance to identify new bottlenecks or opportunities for improvement.
Google PageSpeed Insights: Run your site through Google PageSpeed Insights to get a detailed breakdown of LCP issues.
WebPageTest: Use WebPageTest for deeper insights into your page load times and specific areas affecting LCP.
GTmetrix: Another tool that provides useful performance data, including LCP metrics.
By implementing these optimizations, you should see a noticeable improvement in your WordPress site’s LCP, resulting in a faster, more user-friendly experience.

It seems after the latest update the Logo header I had has changed to a Text header. I run two different sites and it happened on both. Thinking it was related to Logo resolution I created new logos at the specific recommended header image sizes and sadly after saving changes the headers do not change.
Anyone else seeing this issue?

I like how it looks like here
https://ibb.co/WPvkgtW
But not here

Is it possible to make all images the same sizes? IN this case Prev & Next icons will have same position.
Hi, the Default Image Size for the posts is 696×0. I always upload images 1200x wide. I am using a template that has post content wider than 696 px. If I set Content width to 100% in theme builder it oly works for texts but not for in-content image blocks. I am using Gutenberg editor. I have tried to set different image sizes in Post editing settings but with no luck.
I understand that you use the TagDiv Newspaper theme which is not a very performant theme, but at this point, you don’t have an option to change the theme.
That being said, during the audit (even while working on the staging environment) I did find numerous issues with your website mainly related to the below 2 points:
1. Images
2. JS
Your team can severely improve this by incorporating my feedback below. I understand that this response is quite technical, so I highly encourage you to share this with your internal dev team. Now let’s dive deeper.
## Images
Let’s start with the images, as it’s the biggest problem for your website.
### Problem 1 — Images:
So currently across your website (home page, single article page and other pages) images are not actually being loaded via HTML image (img) tags. Instead, they are being loaded as CSS background images.
This forces the browser to download all the images at the same time despite not needing them. Also, lazy-loading these images is almost impossible as all images are CSS background images with no unique class attached. Here are a few examples:
Though I’ve only shared a couple of screenshots, but this problem remains across your website on every single page. Be it the home page or any other pages. Every single page on your website have this exact same issue when it comes to images.
#### Solution:
All these span that are basically holding the images as CSS background images should be replaced with HTML img tag with proper width, height, class names attached to them.
Different images should also have unique classes attached to the img element to easily target them like:
– slider-thumb-img
– three-article-row-img
– featured-article-img
and so on…. (these class names are hypothetical just to give you and your team and idea)
This would make the images to be properly understood by the browser (thanks to the img tag) and also render and lazy load them properly. Also the proper width and height attribute would also maintain the CLS from image size shifting.
## Problem 2
The second problem that is related to your website images are image sizes.
Firstly, I can see that you are loading images from static.profootballnetwork.com making them not to be served from https://www.profootballnetwork.com/ and as a result not getting the benefit of Cloudflare Enterprise caching (higher cache HIT ratio and lifespan) and image optimization.
Secondly, you are loading way bigger images on your web pages asking for them to be scaled down and served to the user. In doing so, the browser has to spend a lot of time to downscale and render/paint the images.
This is why, it is always best to create multiple image sizes for your website using add_image_size() – exactly the image sizes that you need and then use them accordingly where needed.
Here are a few examples:
https://i.imgur.com/Ddl7gp7.jpeg — https://i.imgur.com/YGIjOmi.jpeg
https://i.imgur.com/O3KSAu0.jpeg — https://i.imgur.com/CmO72p8.jpeg
https://i.imgur.com/iHbHJap.jpeg — https://i.imgur.com/KLVA4HY.jpeg
This is not only making the size of your webpage insanely larger but also hurting your CWV and website performance.This issue is also present across your website, across every pages.
#### Solution:
Use add_image_size() to create custom image sizes that are needed for your sites and then serve images with HTML img tags with that exact image size that is needed for that section.
Alternatively, your team can also leverage Cloudflare Images to automatically resize the images directly on the cloud. More info: https://developers.cloudflare.com/images/transform-images/transform-via-url/
## Problem 2 — JS Scripts:
Thanks to Tagdiv Newspaper theme, the website is highly reliant on javascript and especially jQuery requiring the jQUery library to be loaded along with other jQuery scripts for the slider and other things to function properly. Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/WELMdYl.jpeg
But a huge chunk of JS is coming from the ad networks, so I would highly recommend you to reach out to your ad provider asking them to reduce as much JS load as possible and possibly delay ad loading to reduce the JS impact on the website from the ads.
With the update to 12.6.6, I note the theme now has an option to display Webp images, but it does not create the images. Is there a recommended plugin or method for generating Webp images in the required thumbnail sizes on the server?
Hello!
I recommend you to use cloud templates, so you can use other blocks with many settings for the images from modules. Also, you need to have the same sizes for your images when you upload them.
We recommend to use cloud/PRO templates in order to have the possibility to edit them with the TagDiv Composer which contains a lot of functions and features, please check our tutorial here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
More documentation about the cloud templates is here:

Hi guys,
We’re having some issues with the newspaper pro templates.
1. The footer, we changed it. Problem is that it works on all pages. But only on the homepage and mobile view, it shows another or old version. On all other pages and screen sizes It works. We cannot find how to fix this.
2. The product images at woocommerce product pages are not shown as they should be. I’ve tried to use a new template from you but then it also does not work. The thumbnails are not working as it should. They are shown as big images below the main image.
3. At the archive / category pages we’re using a different layout on mobile. Quite simple with some changes at the CSS tab to show other blocks with different order. The tag div builder does show me the correct view. But when I check the page it’s not showing how it should be. How to solve this?
See issue 2 and 3 in the following video

Hello @infocj!
You shouldn’t update that plugin. https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-revolution-sliders-on-demos-prebuilt-websites/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-install-revolution-slider-v5/
That WpBakery plugin is deprecated and it is not used anymore in the latest update. Please check those screenshots to know how to shift from WPBakery to Composer: https://www.screencast.com/t/6xLVMmlsY ; https://www.screencast.com/t/zWHrRmK1LQC ; https://www.screencast.com/t/vuFdT9Stx ; https://www.screencast.com/t/DWbSf3qj ; https://www.screencast.com/t/QuHyGccTK71v
They are cropped automatically: https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/ ; that’s why you can disable the thumbs you are not using. Set up your thumbs from Newspaper -> Theme panel -> Block settings -> Thumbs on modules/blocks. If you deactivate a dimension from there, next time when you will upload an image, it will not be resized to that dimension.
After changing the thumbnail sizes you need to regenerate your thumbnails using a plugin. Check this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/
Unfortunately, no. Read more info here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-support/
Thank you!
slider revolution has any license code to register? as can’t update it automatically and latest version isn’t available in theme pack, wordfence says the plugin has a security vulnerability, same with the WPBakery Page Builder.
if i deactivate all the thumb on modules/blocks and regenerate the thumbnails what images will be displayed in modules/blocks? the default thumbs from wordpress? as are generated thousands of images because of those modules/block sizes.
also is there any support for the theme outside the forum? creating topics on and on and waiting sometimes over 1h for response isn’t always good.
Hello,
Please check if you have an option like “Add missing image dimensions” enabled in the plugin for cache; if yes, please disable it and clear the cache.

Hi. I installed the theme on this new website: https://skeptinet.wpenginepowered.com/
1. I uploaded my logo with the exact sizes required (272×90 and 544×180), cannot get rid of the ‘Black version pro’ that appears next to it. Is this a watermark?
2. In the Theme panel, under Social/API’s, under ‘Social networks’, I put in the URL’s to my social networks (twitter, etc.). But the homepage just has FB,IG,X, and they direct to this website, not my social networks. Also, how can I add “Substack” to link to my substack page?
3. The featured post image goes to the top of the page with the logo and menu floating ontop. It looks strange since the logo and social network run off the edges. How can I specify that this featured post should be below the logo/menu (not underneath it)?

Improving page speed in WordPress is crucial for providing a better user experience and optimizing your website for search engine rankings. Here are some tips to help you enhance your WordPress site’s page speed:
Optimize Images: Compress images before uploading them to your WordPress site. You can use plugins like WP Smush or EWWW Image Optimizer to automatically optimize images without losing quality.
Utilize Caching: Implement caching to reduce server load and speed up page loading times. WordPress caching plugins like WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache can generate static HTML files of your pages to serve users instead of dynamically generating them each time.
Minify CSS and JavaScript: Minify your CSS and JavaScript files to remove unnecessary characters and reduce file sizes. This can be done manually or through plugins like Autoptimize or W3 Total Cache.
Enable GZIP Compression: Enable GZIP compression on your server to reduce the size of files sent from your server to users’ browsers. Most hosting providers offer GZIP compression, but you can also enable it through plugins like WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache.
Optimize Database: Regularly clean up and optimize your WordPress database to remove unnecessary data and improve performance. You can use plugins like WP-Optimize to automate this process.
Limit External Requests: Minimize the number of external requests your website makes by reducing the use of external scripts and widgets. Each external request adds overhead to your page’s loading time.
Enable Lazy Loading: Implement lazy loading for images, videos, and iframes so that they are only loaded when they are visible on the user’s screen. This can significantly reduce initial page loading times.
Optimize Server Response Time: Choose a reliable hosting provider with fast server response times. Consider using a content delivery network (CDN) to serve your content from servers closer to your users.
Regularly Update Plugins and Themes: Keep your WordPress core, plugins, and themes updated to the latest versions to ensure compatibility with the latest performance optimizations and security patches.
Ads can significantly impact the speed of your WordPress website since they often involve loading external resources and scripts. You can try to limit the number of ads, optimize ad sizes and formats, and implement lazy loading on your ads.
By following these tips, you can significantly improve the page speed of your WordPress website, leading to better user engagement, higher search engine rankings, and overall improved performance. Please check out the tips from those platforms: GTmetrix and Google Pagespeed Insights.
