Hello fellas,
Just trying to make Newspaper theme 8 abit more useful :). I’m delivering a short post to all the fellas who are still trying to somehow rank their website, hope it helps.
1. The Title on top of page is already H1 Title, so don’t include H1 tags in your post. Instead, use H2 tags, these will appear as Site Links in SERPS. Here are just two of my posts that appeared on Google:
2. Don’t fall for green light for Yoast, it’s a stupid (yes!) for keywords. Use your imagination, google already uses synonyms if you have ever done a google search yourself. Instead of stuffing up your article with keywords, focus on content and mix up keywords variation.
3. Disable Yoast auto stop keyword stripping. It’s a dumb feature again. Say you have a post- How to download video, it will detect to and remove it automatically. Disable it under Yoast>Advanced>Permalinks>Clean up permalinks>Keep Stop Words in Slug.
4. Use Excerpts as a different version of your meta description. Don’t underestimate the power of them, they are not jsut useful to your readers on your site, but also useful to Search Engine Bots. Use them wisely to add secondary meta description.
5. Image- I would recommend you optimize the image size first before uploading it. Name the file with your keywords before uploading to WordPress and add Alt tags, Title and Description to it. Sometimes, images rank better in Google if optimized correctly and they can help you beat up the top ranking posts. Use Wp-Smush also.
6. Use External Links plugin to disable free juice passing from your website to other sites. Use it globally to keep the Search engines to crawling your website only. You don’t want to send cream to other sites, do you?
7. Do constant interlinking, it’s part of super seo!
8. Use cornerstone articles from Yoast wisely. These can actually help you rank better some of your very important posts. I am currently targeting three posts to test it out.
9. If you want to reduce bounce rate, try Inline Related Posts plugin. It’s superb to show related posts inside your post.
10. Disable Jetpack breadcrumbs. I am still testing it though, but they were kind of messing up with Newspaper default breadcrumbs.
11. Remove Websites under comments, a Website tab will just confuse users and will also add to spam. To disable it, simply add code below in your theme functions and also mobile theme functions:
add_filter('comment_form_default_fields', 'website_remove');
function website_remove($fields)
{
if(isset($fields['url']))
unset($fields['url']);
return $fields;
}
I hope it helps, will try to update the guide as much as i can though. Do help me with it if you also want to help others. You can follow me here: https://medicforyou.in
And be sure to check my other guide too on forums: Speedify your Newspaper Blog
Hi,
That could be a possibility in a future update, but I could not say for sure when this will happen. It is up to the developers however to decide what gets implemented as soon as possible and what is postponed, from the list of suggestions and recommendations. In the meantime you will have to make the modifications in the mobile theme files directly.
Thanks
Hello,

hi, I really love the newspaper theme and the TD composer! however, I am encountering a problem in my mobile version website, all the icons become weather icons as you can see below, could you please sort this out? thank you!

Hi.
The display of both desktop and mobile are different now.
My WordPress is linked with several URL ( swoop.kr, swoop.co.kr, hellomilan.co.kr hellomilan.kr ).
I checked mobile version on my laptop(Safari, Chorome, Explorer), and it is good working.
( I checked by inspection of Chrome and decrease the width of safari window )
But on mobile ( iOS and Android ), it is different look compared with desktop I checked.
Plus, on my mobile, both hellomilan and swoop are different looking.
It is weird and I do not know the solution.
I need a help.
Thanks,
Scott
Hi again… I still have the same problem on mobile version: https://ibb.co/j0H12a
Many people told me that they don’t see the site on their mobile phone.

On my desktop, it is working but on mobile, it is not working ( display is different with on desktop )
2) Why it is happen ? and want to know the solution.
Thanks,

Hi,
The following plugins were not included from the beginning.
tagDiv Composer
Revolution Slider
TagDiv Mobile Theme
TagDiv SpeedBooster
I think that the following was installed when updating the theme.
tagDiv Composer
When tagDiv Composer is invalidated, the character display is normal.
However, the image is not displayed.
http://www.fighters-spirits.com/magazine_test/archives/2309
The difference between the test server and the production server is whether the following plug-ins are not included.
Popup Maker
http://fightersspirits.sakura.ne.jp/043.jpg

Version
Test server Newspaper – Theme panel version: 8.0
Production server Newspaper – Theme panel version: 7.8.1
Popup Maker is in the test server, but it is disabled.
All other plugin versions are the same.
The custom CSS is below. It is described on the test server and the production server.
.widget_nav_menu .sub-menu {
display:none;
}
.td-category-header .td-page-title { text-transform: capitalize; }
http://fightersspirits.sakura.ne.jp/044.jpg

Having as a fact that I have to do a full makeover on the website on Newspaper 8, I have the problems addressed on my title!
– I cannot find hot to create a custom 1/2 1/2 row
– I cannot make some parts appear in mobile/desktop only
(have this options been removed?)
Is it possible to add seperation lines to the mobile menu similar to older version of newspaper & newsmag? Im looking for border lines that seperate the menu content, is this possible?
Hi,
Will you support the child theme for mobile in the near future?
I really missing that right now.
Problems occur only on chrome mobile.
Hello, it seems the problem was that in the test I did on an older mobile device and less resolution did not work, but accessing in a more modern and with more resolution, worked. Thank you for your attention.
I have the same issues with mobile galleries in my site:/
Hi,
The mobile theme will not recognize these shortcodes unfortunately. The only ad options for the mobile theme can be seen in the theme panel
– https://www.screencast.com/t/pPYkgprrf
The mobile theme is meant to be as light as possible for the best performance on mobile. If you would like to display the same content from desktop, you can simply deactivate the mobile theme plugin. The theme will adapt to each device, due to it’s responsive design.
Here you can find all the options regarding the mobile theme

Thanks
Hello
I guess that you want to insert some advanced CSS code, right? So, please notice that if you will check our theme panel, you will see in the Custom Code section, the Advanced CSS, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/UqOE6hFrd If you want to change the font size only for mobile devices, you will choose to add your code only for this in mobile section. Notice that the custom CSS should have to be made by you, according to our useful guide, like this -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/create-custom-code-using-the-browsers-inspector/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi Simeon:
As requested, all plugins were removed. The same issue persists, the home page renders, but posts do no (they display white blank pages). The debug log has lots of these entries:
[26-May-2017 11:59:16 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method td_options::get_array() in /home/bizcatal/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/parts/menu-mobile.php on line 10
[26-May-2017 11:59:26 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method td_options::get_array() in /home/bizcatal/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/parts/header/top-widget.php on line 15
When I revert back to the old version of the theme, everything works. When I enable all plugins over the old theme, all is still working.
Help!

Hi,
That is where the actual login link and registration link are defined

If you use the mobile theme the file is this one

I don’t understand exactly what mobile cover you are referring to. Those are the files responsible with the theme login.
The background for the mobile background can be changed like this

Hi Simon,
Thanks for the instructions.
But what we have to do with posts created with VC?
If we are using tagdiv composer we are getting wider posts, and also the demos are not working properly. This made me loose trust on tag div in future updates…
sample post with issue https://www.stufeed.com/tech/airtel-makes-free-unlimited-outgoing-calls-local-std-all-mobile-calls-with-daily-2-gb-3g4g-data-free/
Its terrible..
even I am not getting any option to edit those posts with tagdiv.. so how can i activate the tag div composer to realign my post pages?
also the mobile plugin has issues.
I have wasted much time in installing the theme by all the ways but nothing worked properly.
Only way is to uninstall/deactivate tagdiv composer and enable only VC
Hi there,
I would like to apply the same principle but for the mobile theme. What files do I have to edit to add <?php echo do_shortcode (‘[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1" tdc_css=""]‘); ?> for the mobile homepage?
Hi all,
Could let me know what CSS I have to modify to increase the font size just in the smartphone view?
I’m not using the mobile plugin, just the regular theme.
Thanks,
Daniel
Are you using a network site? If yes, then don’t network activate the td-mobile plugin. Just go to each site plugins and activate it individually in each of the network site. This may help!
Hi,
Please try to disable all your plugins, clear any caching installed then install and activate the mobile theme plugin. This could be a plugin conflict, this way you will rule out this case.
Thanks
Hi,
I have tested the search functionality on your website and it seems to work properly at the moment on desktop and on mobile, from what I can tell
