Hi,

Optimizing a wordpress website for the best possible score can take a lot of time. Especially for mobile, where it’s more strict.

I believe you are using mod pagespeed, I very rarely see it anymore. These days the best possible combo for performance is considered Cloudflare and WP Rocket. However, you current results aren’t bad at all. I tested the website now and it’s 82 on mobile -> https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-actugeekgaming-com/c9aa1kj7cl?form_factor=mobile

What the theme offers for mobile is mobile pages. This means using a mobile version of the desktop page, same as on this demo -> https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_pro/
A mobile page has it’s own content, header, footer. Usually there is a difference from using the responsive desktop page versus using a mobile page, favoring the mobile page. You could test it, create a mobile page -> https://prnt.sc/R8zzwvtFsb50 and create the header and footer -> https://prnt.sc/Lj7X4dZfzP9v Also reduce or simplify the elements in the page as much as possible. Then clear the cache and repeat the test.

Thank you!

Claude for the win! – Found it — confirmed directly in the page’s DOM. The cause is a menu link URL collision, not a bug in the “active state” logic itself:

The root issue: Under each of the SPORTS, NEWS, MUSIC, and BUSINESS dropdowns, the “Writers” submenu header is set to link to https://barrettmedia.com/ — the homepage — instead of a real anchor page (probably because there’s no dedicated “Writers” landing page, so whoever built the menu left the URL pointing at home as a placeholder).

WordPress’s nav walker assigns the current-menu-item / current_page_item classes (which drive the “active” styling) by comparing each menu item’s URL to the current page’s URL. Since four separate “Writers” items all share the exact same href as HOME, all of them get flagged current/active whenever you’re on the homepage — alongside HOME itself, which is correctly active.

That’s 5 “active” items per menu instance (HOME + 4x Writers). And because the theme renders the same nav markup three times in the DOM (desktop menu, mobile menu, and what looks like a sticky/duplicate header version — all sharing the menu-fall-2025-main-menu-2 menu), it shows up 15 times total in the page.

The fix: give each “Writers” submenu parent a real destination (an actual writers/authors archive page, or at minimum a distinct # / non-matching anchor) instead of the bare homepage URL. Once those links stop matching https://barrettmedia.com/, WordPress will stop marking them current, and only HOME will show active on the homepage.

I created a landing page and tried to assign a separate menu to it:
https://www.bocaratontribune.com/beauty-and-wellness-expo/

However, when I change the header to this page, the whole site changes from the default menu to the dedicated menu for this page. I am not sure if it has to be fixed using the Website Manager or if I am using the wrong element.

I also tried to apply the specific menu creating a raw instead of a header box but then the mobile shows the menu items horizontally instead of a hamburger.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Hi,

First of all, thank you for your previous reply regarding Flex Blocks and background images.

I’m trying to optimize my website as much as possible for Google’s Core Web Vitals, especially on mobile, and I’d like to make sure I’m using Newspaper in the best possible way.

My website is:
https://actugeekgaming.com/

My latest PageSpeed report:
https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-actugeekgaming-com/aomr1s8vst?form_factor=mobile

At the moment my mobile score is around 50–60, and I’d like to improve it significantly while keeping Newspaper if possible.

Here is what I’ve already done:

Removed the homepage video background.
Replaced the hero section with a normal image.
Optimized all featured images.
Enabled WP Super Cache.
Enabled Jetpack CDN.
Upgraded to PHP 8.2.
Removed unnecessary plugins.
Added preload for the LCP image.
Contacted support regarding Flex Blocks using CSS background images.

I understand that Flex Blocks use background images by design, and you’ve suggested creating a custom Module Builder template using an element instead.

Before rebuilding my homepage, I would like to ask a few questions:

1) What are the official Newspaper recommendations for achieving the best possible Mobile PageSpeed score?
2) Which homepage modules or blocks are the most performance-friendly?
Are Flex Blocks still recommended for the first visible section, or would you recommend using a Module Builder layout instead?
3) Are there any Newspaper or TagDiv Composer settings that should be disabled to improve Core Web Vitals?
4) Do you have a performance optimization guide specifically for Newspaper?
5) Do you know of any websites using Newspaper that consistently achieve 85–90+ Mobile PageSpeed scores?
If so, could you share a demo or explain what makes them different?
6) Apart from replacing Flex Blocks, is there anything else inside Newspaper that commonly hurts LCP or overall mobile performance?

My goal isn’t simply to increase the PageSpeed score, but to build a fast, modern news website while continuing to use Newspaper.

Thank you very much for your advice!

Hello,

I’m using Newspaper 12.7.7 with the latest tagDiv Composer.

My homepage scores around 60 on Google PageSpeed Insights (mobile).

Lighthouse identifies the homepage LCP element as:

<span class=”entry-thumb td-thumb-css”
style=”background-image:url(…)”>

The image is rendered as a CSS background instead of an element.

Lighthouse reports:

fetchpriority=high should be applied
render-blocking CSS, especially:
td_legacy_main.css
style.css
tds-front.css

I already tested:

latest Newspaper and tagDiv Composer versions
Jetpack Image Accelerator enabled
cache enabled
manually adding a preload for the LCP image

My questions are:

Is there any supported setting or Flex Block that renders the featured image as a real instead of a CSS background?
Is there an official hook/filter to customize the thumbnail markup?
Is there a recommended way to improve LCP for Newspaper homepages?
Can td_legacy_main.css or other legacy CSS resources be safely disabled on Newspaper 12.7.7?

Hi,

The first thing I see is that the required composer plugin isn’t active on the website. Please install it from the theme plugins panel -> https://prnt.sc/7P2I8thU8xeb Most of the theme’s functionality and features depend on the composer, so it should be active.

Then you can choose what you want to use, a simpler basic design based on the standard pack plugin, or a more advanced and complex design based on the cloud library -> https://tagdiv.com/why-tagdiv-cloud-library-is-a-better-alternative-to-the-standard-pack/

To provide a bit of context, the theme by itself with none of the theme plugins active is basically useless. The composer plugin provides the base. Then there are 2 directions, the cloud library or the standard pack, these add the extra capabilities.

I also noticed that you are using AMP -> https://prnt.sc/yhj7NKjJtRHv I rarely see AMP used anymore. But if you want to use it, then we recommend using it together with our mobile theme -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-amp-plugin-tutorial/

Let me know.

Thank you!

Hi,

The easiest way to do that is like this:

Click on the row that contains those columns and activate this option -> https://prnt.sc/7Nah0MzBjn3b

On the first column set the order to 3 -> https://prnt.sc/_s30ntkzhXwj
On the second to 1 -> https://prnt.sc/tNrLynDAhsT7
On the third to 2 -> https://prnt.sc/0pjTrwJATJOc
And on the fourth to 4 -> https://prnt.sc/xiOJQXlqo0IB

Then it should look as you want. Please try it.

As a note, on mobile please set the row to it’s initial layout -> https://prnt.sc/3R8ImUF0s6fk
Or, if you want to change the order on mobile also, set it to this one -> https://prnt.sc/V1YaRnf9tZJi

Thank you!

The tagDiv Header Search element generates invalid ARIA markup in both desktop and mobile header instances.

The generated HTML is:

<div class=”tdb-drop-down-search”
aria-labelledby=”td-header-search-button”>

The W3C validator reports:

The aria-labelledby attribute must not be specified on any div element unless the element has an appropriate role.

The search itself works correctly. The issue is specifically the generated markup.

I confirmed the source in:

wp-content/plugins/td-cloud-library/shortcodes/header/tdb_header_search.php

The original PHP output was:

$buffy .= ‘<div class=”tdb-drop-down-search” aria-labelledby=”td-header-search-button”>’;

I changed it to:

$buffy .= ‘<div class=”tdb-drop-down-search” role=”search” aria-labelledby=”td-header-search-button”>’;

After clearing caches and revalidating, both validator errors disappeared. Desktop and mobile search continued to function normally.

This confirms that the issue is not caused by search placement, template layout, or custom CSS. It is caused by the Header Search element omitting an appropriate role from the .tdb-drop-down-search container.

Please update the plugin output to include:

role=”search”

on that container, or otherwise revise the ARIA structure so aria-labelledby is used on an element with a valid role.

The error appeared twice because the page contains separate desktop and mobile Header Search elements.

Dear TagDiv Support Team,

I hope you are doing well.
I am using the TagDiv Theme with WooCommerce on my website.
Website: https://grookfit.com
I have noticed a compatibility issue when enabling Razorpay Magic Checkout.
After enabling Magic Checkout:
1.The mobile product page layout becomes distorted.
2.The main product image is resized incorrectly.
3.The product gallery alignment changes.
4.The overall responsive design is affected.
When I disable Magic Checkout, the product page immediately returns to its normal responsive layout.
Additionally, Razorpay’s Buy Now feature does not appear on the product page even though it is enabled in the Magic Checkout settings.
I have attached screenshots showing the product page before and after enabling Magic Checkout.
https://prnt.sc/DxkZdCfZO2LL , https://prnt.sc/cNL45N7MpQju , https://prnt.sc/5p15SGmFamU7
Could you please check whether this is a compatibility issue between the TagDiv theme and Razorpay Magic Checkout, and let me know if there is a recommended fix or CSS/JavaScript compatibility patch?

Thank you for your support.

Hi Simion,

Yes, the extra menu was something we added while testing a few possible external solutions, but it also helped us identify the root cause of the issue.

We just wanted to let you know that the mobile menu is working correctly. The problem is that the website is loading too slowly, so until it finishes loading, it doesn’t allow the menu to open. Once the site has fully loaded, the menu works without any issues.

We are currently in contact with our server support team to find a solution. Thank you for taking the time to check our website.

Regarding the updates, we won’t be performing them this weekend because we’re expecting increased traffic. We’ll be livestreaming a cattle show in Guatemala, so we’d rather avoid making changes during that time. We will most likely handle the updates next week.

Once we determine what is causing the website to break when we update the PHP version, what would you recommend as the best order for the remaining updates? Should we:

-Update the PHP version
-Update the theme
-Install the tagDiv Standard Pack plugin

Please let us know your advice on this, as well as any other suggestions you may have regarding the update process. Thanks in advance!

Please also deactivate the AMP plugin -> https://prnt.sc/urrTbuqCUPtU because I see that the posts are using AMP on mobile -> https://prnt.sc/55md929Rivvs

But I’m not quite sure what’s going on with the homepage. I can only see a footer in it -> https://prnt.sc/wFJGrZC6LPhB
Did you maybe set a mobile page for it? Please check here in the admin bar -> https://prnt.sc/aKa8U-4ONmoY

Le me know.

Thank you!

Hi,

Currently I see some kind of custom mobile menu, or from a plugin, on top of the theme mobile menu -> https://prnt.sc/xr6is1rpWCft That extra mobile menu is displayed over the entire mobile header actually, meaning that I can’t click on the theme mobile menu, the logo, or the search.

If I delete that extra menu using the browser inspector, then the theme mobile menu seems to work correctly -> https://prnt.sc/tTDRcRp4z_Qw It opens correctly. So the only problem I see is that there is an extra menu in the mobile header, making it impossible to interact with the theme header.

About updating, if the website broke after updating the PHP, that can be caused by multiple things. Could be because of a plugin that doesn’t support newer PHP versions, or custom code, or the child theme as I see you use one, or an inactive extension in the new PHP version, or other causes. I suggest testing on a staging/testing clone of the main website, in order to deal with the issues there first.

From the theme perspective, if you update it just make sure to install this standard pack plugin -> https://prnt.sc/zkjDfLHkzSHy That’s a plugin we added in Newspaper 10. Normally it’s optional, but for older websites it’s required. Older websites are built with the older blocks, grids, templates, etc. and they will not display correctly without that plugin.

Thank you!

Hi Simion, how are you?

Thanks for your support!

I followed the procedure you recommended, and the mobile version did indeed match the desktop version; however, about a minute later, the mobile version lost its formatting again.

I tried to upload a screenshot here, but it seems this support channel doesn’t allow it!

I ran several tests, but the desktop-style layout never returned. What could be happening?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you,

Best Regards

We stopped updating the theme over a year ago because it requires to update the PHP version from our 7.4 to 8.3. We could update the PHP, but when we did try to update it broke everything. All the pages got messed up and we had to roll back the site. So it either broke the WPbakery page builder or the Tag DIV. We were afraid to update again as it took hours to roll back the site. We are not sure if you started using your own builder or what, but this is a very large site and we did not want to lose everything. Not sure why now the mobile menu will not work – but it does not open. We would like to either find a way to update the site with the existing theme but NOT break everything we have; Or we will have to abandon this theme. Any suggestions? Our site is located at https://brahmanjournal.com/ Maybe we did something wrong when we updated the site. If you can help us we would appreciate it. If we need to pay for a new support I can do that, we have had this theme a long time and would like to keep it if possible.

Hi,

That’s the mobile theme version -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/mobile-theme-introduction/

The mobile theme is an optional plugin that we provide. It has it’s own design, homepage, templates. Please deactivate it if you don’t want to use it -> https://prnt.sc/4hIOpMXHN4oY Then the same content from desktop will be displayed on mobile.

Let me know if I can help more.

Thank you!

I need the desktop version of the site to look the same as the mobile version.

Website: https://palegreen-hare-478921.hostingersite.com/

In mobile version, The site looks completely different.

I need your assistance. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you!

Hi,

No problem.

1. That’s possible. The active color for the links in the mobile menu can be set in the theme panel -> https://prnt.sc/JCEFjWULjfqE

2. Are you referring to the socials displayed in the mobile menu? If so, that isn’t possible unfortunately.

If you want to customize the mobile menu more, or in detail, then you could use a popup instead. Like we use on some of the demos -> https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_urban_observer_pro/ On mobile the menu is a popup. A popup can be set to open a page which you can build with the composer. Then you could add the social icons in that page, and change the order of the socials -> https://prnt.sc/YnyOx4ivkzlV While it is more work, sometimes using a popup instead of the regular mobile menu can be useful.

If you want to know more about popups there is a guide here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/modal-popup/

Thank you!

Hi,

That is possible with the composer. Each row has this option -> https://prnt.sc/mlcFlcbistnz and that option can be activated per viewport -> https://prnt.sc/mV_kBq1OCTMa

So if you want a row to be visible only on desktop, you can switch to these 3 viewports and set the row to hidden -> https://prnt.sc/Ct1T0QAnb3nw Then the row will be visible only on desktop. Or, hide the other row on these 3 viewports to see it only on mobile -> https://prnt.sc/oeDv6rL22e4p

In case you hide the row by mistake on all viewports, or you want to see the hidden rows in the composer so you don’t forget about them, you can activate this setting -> https://prnt.sc/gQQxLXgPTk1Q Then you will see them in the composer, but they will still be hidden on the website.

Please try it.

Thank you!

Is it possible to make the entire <row> highlighted in the photo visible only on the desktop version? And conversely, is it possible to set an entire <row> containing ads to be visible only on the mobile version?

Hi Simion,

I have two quick questions:

1. In the mobile menu, when a user clicks on a category, can the selected/active category change to a custom color (instead of the default color)? If yes, how can I set a custom active color?

2. How can I arrange the social media icons at the top alphabetically?

Thank you!

Hi,

Is there no message in the page on mobile when you check logged in? For example -> https://prnt.sc/fGKSc310dIPF

That message is displayed for pages when the mobile theme plugin is active -> https://prnt.sc/faCV1r-BgKKt

Please check the mobile theme guide carefully -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/mobile-theme-introduction/ especially the part about pages -> https://prnt.sc/weXgkmMS9AuN

So basically when the mobile theme is active, a page needs to have 2 versions, one for desktop and one for mobile. If you edit a page there should be a mobile editor section usually at the bottom -> https://prnt.sc/amy6YqhBe_DT

The important thing to note is that the mobile theme plugin is optional. So if you don’t want to build and maintain two versions for each page, then please deactivate the plugin. Then the content from desktop will be displayed on mobile as well. Or, if you want to use it and you need help with it, please let me know how I can help.

Thank you!

Hi,

we have Accordion Pro on our site http://www.vpz.hr…the problem is with this site for example…https://www.vpz.hr/zupanijska-uprava/upravni-odjel-za-graditeljstvo-zastitu-okolisa-i-imovinsko-pravne-poslove/

and then tab Oglasna ploča….

on desktop its ok….but on mobile its not…there’s some “custom css” code in front of the actual code that works what I entered in that particular accordion…

that “custom css” code wasnt here before…it just appeared somehow hmm

They said this:

Last wordfence security team alert us to minor security issue for outputting script and style may cause security issue,

we are now using wp_kses function to escape accordion content, which causing strip all style and scripts from 3rd party shortcode,
to solve this issue, third party plugins authors must update their plugin to load style and script to header or footer not via old style via content.

I hope you understand, you may report to plugin author that you are using via accordion plugin content.

WHAT CAN WE DO !??
