Hi,
A test on our demo shows that its mobile friendly and doesn’t have any issues: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdemo.tagdiv.com%2Fnewspaper%2F
It seems that a resource is blocked by robots.txt – http://screencast.com/t/0QJzgJwo Please check their guide – https://developers.google.com/webmasters/mobile-sites/mobile-seo/common-mistakes/blocked-resources?hl=en-US&utm_source=MFT&utm_campaign=MFT&utm_medium=incoming-link also this can help – http://www.davidtiong.com/is-my-wordpress-responsive-website-mobile-friendly/
Also you can test this without using any plugins, leave just theme’s Visual Composer plugin and also make sure that you disable all html/js compression and test again.
Thanks!
Hola! Mi problema es que cuando analizo mi web informeinsolito.com en https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/ no aparece optimizada… ¿Por qué pasa esto? Necesito arreglarlo.
PD: Algunas veces si funciona pero otras muchas no.
Hello! My name is Rubén. I’m from Spain. My website is informeinsolito.com
I have a problema with https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/
Why my website is not optimized for mobile?
Ok, next quastions. I try to input video in post (example <iframe src=”//vk.com/video_ext.php?oid=-95516353&id=171334001&hash=7e55a27f69f2f8b7&hd=2″ width=”853″ height=”480″ frameborder=”0″></iframe>) but but this video is not mobile friendly (not adaptive for screen size). Haw fix it?
I mean, that video post looks terrible on mobile devices.
Hello Gadget Friendly,
You have to be careful with these types of modifications as they can create other problems:
Your menu, when viewed on a tablet or mobile phone, gets wacky:
http://screencast.com/t/sbFOZvc4jNf
I’ve patched things up a bit with this code:
.top-header-menu li a {
line-height: 4;}
.td_data_time {
position: relative;
bottom:10px;}
.td-header-style-12 .td-header-top-menu-full{
height: 50px;}It’s a temporary solution. You have to revisit your code and set it properly because right now things are all over the place.
In order to fix it on other types of screens you have to use media queries: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Media_Queries/Using_media_queries
I hope this helps and points you in the right direction.
Thank you.
No crawl errors or significant 404s all is well in Console.
No permalinks and is mobile friendly I’m sure. Pingdom 5s down from 3
Should the code be put in the theme field of using Yoast too?

Google has been making changes to their algorithm and rolled out latest changes recently; this is an ongoing process. Sometimes changing your page structure, layout, placement of links, etc. can cause a change in indexing. Obviously good to check your Google Search Console (previously Webmaster Tools) for any crawl errors, drop in inbound links, rise in 404 errors if you changed permalinks, etc.
Also if your mobile friendly status changed, or PageSpeed dropped considerably, that can also have an impact.
We’ve been going through the same issue with our California news portal (10+ years old).
This seems to really be impacting sites in Google News due to how they “feature” news items for 7 days, but then seem to “whack” the organic results for awhile, then they come back.
We’ve not been able to sort out WHY this happens — one of our sites took huge traffic hit (using Canvas theme); while another took a huge jump switching from Canvas to Newsmag.
Might need to clear all your caching from old site; make sure you have everything installed properly. The theme is responsive and mobile friendly from the get-go. 🙂
You have a jquery error, so likely you have some plugin loading that twice when it is already being loaded by theme. Check your site in Chrome and press F12 to view error in console.
How do I make my site mobile friendly?
It was before I installed Newspaper. Now when visited on mobile it just has code as the homepage.
iecn.com
Thanks
Another issue as well. How mobile friendly is the theme?

All I get is code instead of the blocks. This issue was unexpected. Please help ASAP.
BASIC SEO TIPS:
Note that Google rolled out new version of PANDA recently. They continue to refine placement, and are putting emphasis on mobile friendly, ORIGINAL CONTENT, “answers to questions,” https capability, pagespeed insights, sitemaps, and the usual stuff still relevant:
a) inbound links from organic sites, not paid text links or text ads, help placement
b) blocking bad links from “bad sites” such as low quality scrapers – you can disavow bad sites (we do this with sites like ‘searchnaked’ which had thousands of links to us)
c) proper schema markup
d) limit junk posts (e.g., youtube video and one sentence — is not original content)
e) limit content you “steal” from other sites then link to them as source — write your own version, get your own photo; that helps your ranking
f) site structure matters; good navigation, prioritize the POST over categories, tags, etc.
g) don’t sell text links, avoid popups, interstitials that block content loading for Google bot
h) READ the free Google guide to best practices for SEO
i) write original headlines – check your headline to see if it already exists; do something different!
j) posts should have at least 5 paragraphs so it looks like original post and not excerpt of another post
k) don’t use “next page” for home page; conflicts with your category indexes
l) update site regularly — updates every 6 weeks shows lack of new content
m) create your own images where possible, vs copying somebody else’s
n) learn to use your Google webmaster tools (now “console”) properly
o) don’t overload pages with too many ad modules from adsense, amazon, other ad system, etc. — too many ads pollutes your pages
p) use h tags for your relevant subheads in your posts, not just bold sub heads — couch your subheads as answers to questions people might ask “The right way to boil spaghetti” … etc.
q) make sure guest posts are not also being posted on other sites (!!)
r) share the heck out of your posts to social media, but use the social media worth sharing to and ignore the stuff nobody uses anymore (sorry, delicious, diigo, Technorati, etc.)
s) don’t use sock puppets for clicking your ads; paid likes on social media; or similar
t) answer comments on your posts to create dialog
u) make backups of your site often and carefully (!) — if your system crashes, and you’re off the web for prolonged period of time — very bad for SEO after xx days
v) do you have a backup plan if your host goes out of business, or GoDaddy DNS crashes again and your site is down?
w) consider spending a small amount on Google ads to promote your best posts or site on the topic you most want to be found under, like “horse breeding” or whatever
x) make sure your site is verified with all the top search engines
y) ignore stupid things like so called “ranking sites” like Alexa which are completely wrong on traffic, including their inability to track shortcode use
z) check your site regularly to ensure it’s secure ! Make sure you have security plan. Make sure you have privacy policy on your site.
Share and enjoy! 🙂

Also testing your site with google mobile friendly testing tool returned a good result: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/?url=http%3A%2F%2Falltopstartups.com%2F

I ran my site through Google webmasters mobile friendly test this morning, and it passed, but with a warning
“This page uses one resource which is blocked by robots.txt. The results and screenshot may be incorrect.
For optimal rendering and indexing, always allow Googlebot access to the JavaScript, CSS, and image files used by your website so that Googlebot can see your site like an average user. If your site’s robots.txt file disallows crawling of these assets, it directly harms how well our algorithms render and index your content. This can result in suboptimal rankings.”
But according to this page http://pippamattinson.com/robots.txt
The only thing disallowed in my robot.txt page is wp-admin. Should I ignore the warning message?
Thanks
Pippa
Hi,
Do you use a plugin for mobile version? The theme was designed to be responsive so you don’t need to use a plugin for this. Please disable all plugins and then test your site on mobile friendly, also without any custom modifications for mobiles.
Thanks!

Hi,
@pings
As Christopher pointed it comes from your robots.txt – http://screencast.com/t/wFBfpGJS
Try this solution – http://www.davidtiong.com/is-my-wordpress-responsive-website-mobile-friendly/
Thank you, Emil G.
Also to clarify the panic and despair some folks have been hyped into worry and fear over … if you site doesn’t pass the mobile friendly test ALL THAT MEANS is that your site will not be shown/ranked highly for MOBILE searches — it does not impact your desktop searches at this time.
Logical idea – if a website won’t work on cellphone, why show link to a site in SERPS for mobile that won’t work on mobile.
It doesn’t mean your site is going to get kicked out or ‘punished’ — technically, merely not shown as well as it could for mobile.
During the break in period — they will typically still show sites, but they will remove a “mobile friendly” tag next to the site to identify it’s not mobile friendly.
Eventually they will start to hide those sites but not entirely “right now.” So, you have some time to shore up the flood gates 🙂
Hi there. I need help here.
As you probably know, Google is now punishing sites that are not mobile-friendly.
I thought that I was OK, my site seems to be perfect for me, but Google don´t agree.
In google test page, its showing that my site is not mobile-friendly, with 2 errors: Links to close and content bigger than screen.
Can you guys take a look at my website please?
Site: http://emagrecersemdieta.com.br
Test page: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/?url=http%3A%2F%2Femagrecersemdieta.com.br
Thank you.
Hi,
A test on our demo shows that its mobile friendly and doesn’t have any issues: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdemo.tagdiv.com%2Fnewspaper%2F
According to google your site appears not mobile friendly due to multiple reasons: http://screencast.com/t/082WVTNfz
I suggest you test this first without using any plugins, leave just theme’s Visual Composer plugin and also make sure that you disable all html/js compression and test again.
Also make sure that you follow their instructions on how to unblock resources and let google bot view your page correctly, all this guides/tutorials are provided by google in your test page:
– https://developers.google.com/webmasters/mobile-sites/mobile-seo/common-mistakes/blocked-resources?hl=en-US&utm_source=MFT&utm_campaign=MFT&utm_medium=incoming-link
– https://developers.google.com/webmasters/mobile-sites/references/faq?hl=en-US&utm_source=MFT&utm_campaign=MFT&utm_medium=incoming-link#whats-the-difference-between-the-pagespeed-insights-ux-score-and-the-mobile-friendly-test-results
Please also note that the mobile friendly test is a new feature from google, the mobile friendly algorithm being released by Google on April 21st so we haven’t dealed enough with it to fully understand it. You can do it yourself though and go trough their guides/documentation to learn more about it: https://developers.google.com/webmasters/mobile-sites/get-started/?hl=en-US&utm_source=MFT&utm_medium=incoming-link&utm_campaign=MFT
We will release the new version 5 of newspaper theme which will be a major update with new design and lots of new features and we will make sure that we’ll test it with this new tool from google.
Thanks
Hi everyone,
I have problems with my mobile site. Google is telling me that it is not optimized
https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.boxen1.com
I’m using the newest version of Newspaper Theme. My Domain is boxen1.com – can you please give me some advice?
Many Thanks
What is the best method that can be used to make the site appear on a phone exactly as it does on a PC? I tried commenting out viewport in the header.php and that worked for 90% of things but a few of my widgets show much differently on a PC then they do on a mobile – http://www.gadgetfriendly.net
If possible I would like the ‘featured news’ area at the bottom to extend across horizontally like seen on the PC and also for The ‘Top rated’ section to show regular size icons instead of super mini ones.
Thanks!
Google has made the mobile test more “rigourous” as part of the push to ding sites for not being mobile friendly starting late April 2015; and they are sending cautionary emails to websites not mobile ready.
But it looks like they went a bit nuts on the mobile test …
Some of my “perfect” sites suddenly dropped also for things which technically don’t matter.
I have a hunch this will “adjust” — as they are “right now” using a “perfect” rendered page for the benchmark, which is unrealistic unless the page is completely built for “mobile first” with desktop as secondary.
Other words — minor grain of salt on that.
