Hello, love Newspaper. I’m sorted on desktop but having a problem on mobile. I’ve decided to use the mobile theme but I am having a problem.
1). The top level categories work great. You click in the menu and you get a nice simple listing of all the posts under that category
2). The problem is that all second-level (sibling categories) when clicked do not render a page populated with posts. If I move the sibling category out and to the top level then the mobile theme will render a page with those posts.
3). I’ve built the site to run off these categories and need the sibling categories to work on mobile???? Help!
4). If that is not possible I have found in the forum the code to remove sibling categories. But this only removes the siblings from the top of the 1st level page (above the grid) it does not remove the categories from the post
5). If the mobile theme does not work with sibling categories what is the CSS code to add to the mobile CSS editor to remove categories from all posts (including on each single post page). And of course not affecting the desktop display of the categories.
This is is the last wrinkle for me in my implementation. Any help would be awesome. Again great theme!
Cheers

Thanks Simion, am sure you guys are trying your level best to iron out the bugs.
In my opinion the auto load on mobile theme was more important as world over major traffic source now is mobile. If it can be incorporated in that, it will be awesome.
Till then if we turn off the mobile plugin, would the auto load function work on mobile?
For points 3 to 5, I will make a gif or take do a screen recording for you see.
We are keeping a close eye on GA and how auto load is helping page views, yesterday the pageview count was not going up, instead in the same view, it was just showing another loaded page in GA. Will recheck again and come back to you.
Thanks
ok The theme is working for mobile, however I don’t know where to modify it to add more to the homepage.
It’s all updated. Now how do I use it for mobile.
I have made some tests on the demo sites and on tagdiv.com on pagespeed and all the sites have very low score especially for the mobile sites. Why is that ?
If style sheets ‘not loading’ — that is not a theme problem but system problem.
So, good to check F12 console view for errors, to ensure content actually loading.
Also try testing with GTmetrix.com — test as single post — and see if you have any issues with your setup.
Obviously if mobile styles are not loading, then desktop version would load for mobile as the responsive CSS needs to actually be there.
Common issues are mixed content – meaning some elements load via https, some set for http; or files not actually there.
I’ve never had a problem in the past getting my sites approved for Adsense however with this theme I am.
Here is the Adsense message:
Valuable inventory: Under construction
As stated in our Program policies, we may not show Google ads on pages or apps where content is unnecessarily difficult or frustrating to navigate or interact with. This includes pages or apps that are under construction, not functioning, or lead to error messages.
So I checked my site anfinson.ca with the new Google Search Console URL inspection tool. It tells me my page is not mobile friendly, clickable elements are too close together and content is wider than the screen. When I look at the errors, I can see why. Some of the theme CSS files are not being loaded. My robots.txt is set to allow the crawler to read everything except my admin login page.
I’m also getting a soft 404 error on this page. http://anfinson.ca/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/
I just updated the theme to 9.5 and am running the latest version of WordPress.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!
Hello Catalin,
thank you for your time, my homepage is working properly now,
but the mobile registration still have some issues. I saw the test you run, which is incomplete. the site will allow you to create an account using mobile, now the site will send you a link to your email to create your password. if you click on the link it will go blank (using mobile). please use an active email and mobile to run the test, you will see the error.
Am still studying the link you sent to me for ssl..
Please run the test on creating new account using mobile.
thank you
For 1, may we suggest a Previous – Next navigation for the mobile theme then? It has the links, but those are not easy for mobile users to find. Something like the “Next Article” at the bottom of the mobile theme at https://www.slashfilm.com/captain-marvel-tv-spot-ready/. You can also slide to the next and previous article by just touching the screen.
Hi,
We are aware that there are issues with the auto load feature, we will try to fix them as quickly as possible.
1. It will not work on mobile if the mobile theme is active, this is true.
2. There will be an option added to be able to control how soon the next post loads, I can’t provide specific details about how this will work exactly. This should provide a smoother experience.
3. This should not happen if the option mentioned at point 2 will be added. The post will be loaded before the user reaches the footer.
4. Please provide some more details about this, what exactly is happening. I will try to recreate it and if there is an issue I will add it on the list.
5. We could investigate this on your website if possible. Post a link to where this happens and we will take a look.
The issue with the sticky sidebars is under investigation currently. Seems that starting from the second post it will not function correctly. It will be fixed.
From what I tested the post view count is increasing for the posts that are auto loaded. The count goes up. Let me know about followups to these questions.
Thanks
Hi,
You need to use the td mobile plugin that come with the theme version you are using, for example if you have Newspaper v9.1 the only mobile theme plugin that will work for you will be the one from that package.
So if you want you can update the theme to the last version 9.5 and use the mobile theme from the package that you have download or you check what version of newspaper you have and you send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and ask for mobile theme for your version of theme.
Thanks.

Hi,
1)Use a static page instead of Your latest posts (blog) -> https://www.screencast.com/t/7cXx81x83p Also, I have checked your website and it seems to work as properly.
2)I have made some tests on mobile and the registration section works as expected -> https://www.screencast.com/t/kBDsVBP2
3)The theme has dynamically configuration for SSL and if this function has been correctly setup the theme will be automatically switched to the SSL mode. Most important is to make sure if this configuration has been correctly made. Please check the following topic from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/ssl-mixed-content-issue/
Thanks.

Hi,
There is a way you could do this. For example with a CSS code – http://prntscr.com/mjke46
Enter it in the Theme panel->Mobile theme->Custom CSS section
.category .td-category-siblings {
display: none;
}
It will apply to category pages on mobile, and remove the category siblings from them. I could modify it if needed, let me know.
Thanks
Hi,
If you have the last version of theme v9.5 then you can make the mobile menu how you want -> https://tagdiv.com/whats-new-in-newspaper-theme-9-5-update/
Also you can use custom css -> https://www.screencast.com/t/14pxorQ1o
.header-search-wrap{
display: none;
}
Set the code in Newspaper>Theme panel>Advance css>phone, if you are using mobile theme set the code in Newspaper>Theme panel>Mobile theme >Custom code>css
Thank you!
Hi,
@sathyavcs This is not possible unfortunately, the mobile theme cannot be modified in a child theme. So modifications to it’s files can only be done directly.
Thanks
Hi,
Unfortunately we did not tested that plugin with our theme, so if you want to try that plugin, please make first a full backup to your website.
Also if you have the newspaper theme v9.5 you can build your own mobile menu -> https://tagdiv.com/whats-new-in-newspaper-theme-9-5-update/
Thank you for your understanding!

Dear, you just have to make three changes in the previous code
1) Adjust the padding of add to cart button in mobile devices
2) Change the text of the Woocommerce Galleries (This text was not changed before in any of the CSS code provided by you)
3) Adjust the compressed text problem in add to cart button.
PLz take a look at the pic:
Plz take your time, I am not in a hurry but plz check all the required parameters before finalizing.
Thanks
Hi,
So you want to use the previous custom css, but adjust for mobile device;
I will try to do that as sun as possible, set the code here.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi,
You could use the footer text field, this will show up in the footer when the mobile theme plugin is active – http://prntscr.com/mjf88w
So the text will appear in both desktop and mobile with the mobile theme active.
Thanks
