- NewspaperWP Rocket and Newspaper Theme: Optimization Guide
- TutorialsFrom WPBakery to tagDiv Composer
- TutorialsWhat is Ajax preloading?
a) disable all minification plugins, caching
b) check for bug in version of Yoast SEO conflicting with page builders
c) clear transients with WP-optimize
d) resave permalinks before using
e) consider adding explicit paths to website in wp-config.php while also increasing default RAM from 40MB to 64MB
f) make sure you clear caching in Chrome if hadn’t been done when switching themes and such with your website
g) disable plugins not included with theme if still having problems
h) TIP: ‘create’ your blank page FIRST, then open it with TD Composer to edit; that’s what I do — can help mitigate php transients and timeouts, where the ‘session’ dies before you actually finish editing and thus page never actually made, so nothing actually happens. Happened to me on one site with php 5.4, but 5.6 totally fixed that nonsense. If you’re still using php prior to 5.6 you’re likely DOOMED! 😉
( food for thought while doing my backups this week; I don’t work here or speak for tagdiv so ignore my ramblings unless it sparks your imagination! )
Theme would only have those pages there if
a) you’ve imported demo page content
b) you’re using translation plugin to build alternate page versions
Ideally clear all caching, remove all demo content, resave permalinks, clear all transients with wp-optimize; check you htaccess for old redirects — in case you have old redirects going someplace for stuff not actually there.
Force resave your sitemap; resubmit to Google etc.
Pages removed will stop getting pinged eventually. Hurts nothing to get some 404s for temporary pages. Nobody on the web should be linking to temp pages so zero issues for site other than getting temp errors like that.
Not sure that helps – but common issue when you have temp pages, then delete, then have redirects created for non existant pages to near matches; esp if the auto-redirect plugin links to pages you then delete also. Get a bad redirect ‘chain’ going there.
Food for thought.
Hi,
We have facing the loss of quality on the featured images on Big Grid Slide.
Original: https://www.screencast.com/t/JPgvdi73XMBi
Optimized: https://www.screencast.com/t/WD8WxMVqt442
Is there any compression control available in order to solve that?
Thank you!
Hello wsharkar,
If you got this message it seems that your website is not optimized, sorry!
Please notice that the speed of your website depends on how well your site is optimized. Notice that is not a simple task and if you do not have any experience in this regard you will do not bring good results for the theme. Also, notice that we have a speed optimization tutorial but this is addressed only to advanced users. So, if you follow the steps which are presented in this tutorial here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ you can increase the page speed loading and if you are not aware of the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because the speed optimization services are not covered by our support policy, as you can read here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/support-policy-2/ Check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ regarding on dedicated server to fit to our requirements.
Unfortunately, our theme does not have such an option to minify the style.css file and we cannot recommend any plugins with this functionality because is not tested with our theme. For minifying this file, we are using CloudFlare for our demo and works fine.

Hi all,
I’ve been using the Newspaper theme and optimizing my on page using the YOAST SEO plugin, everything was alright when I start blogging on my website but after getting indexed on google I just can’t find my permalink which I’m using domain.com/post-name .
All my posts are indexed category wise like in what category I’ve posted the article e.g, https://domain/some-category while it must show the slug I’m using.
I just check all the posts slug on on the YOAST optimizer and there I find everything is normal.
Theme cannot change site randomly, so something, like a plugin or whatever got updated on your site. Suggest checking error logs, try clearing cache, try clearing transients with wp-optimize, try resaving permalinks.
Then try disabling plugins to see if something you updated broke something else.
Theme cannot “suddenly” break for no reason. This is why disabling ‘auto updates’ is wise, and then keeping eye on when updates come up to ensure you stay secure; trade off on ease of use vs stuff breaking from being auto-updated.
Check all your plugins to see if activated properly, or anything disabled due to broken update, etc.
Not sure if that helps, but good starting point.
( I don’t work here. )
Hello zeeodesk,
Unfortunately, our theme does not have any such an option that allows you to Remove these queries, sorry! Please notice that all of these tasks involves additional customizations and we cannot provide this type of services at the moment, sorry! Before beginning to optimize your website, you should consult some useful manuals/guides which teaches you how you can do this or another alternative for you would be to hire somebody to help you, sorry! As a hint, you can start from here -> https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/remove-query-strings-static-resources/ -> https://www.sourcewp.com/remove-query-strings-static-resources/
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
See the tutorials section in theme docs; Google it; try testing page with GTmetrix.com and read the how-to help there.
Theme has nothing to do with how you optimize your server/hosting; so good to review tutorials online for how to optimize WP sites in general, while learning to use and optimize WP.
But you can find some pointers here ! –

Welcome to WordPress! 🙂
ads are not working I’m using another one is not google I called emresa uol affiliates and they detected that the theme is modifying the code of the page I’ll send one showing that it’s right and when it enters the page it’s wrong this is barring me from receiving ads on my site help me urgently
This is the image link showing that it’s right. https://imgur.com/a/gfDM8
This was the message the company gave me:
The tag on the site is wrong because the </ script> tag’s attributes are out of standard. The right one that is generated by affiliates is:
<script language=”JavaScript1.1″ src=”https://t.dynad.net/script/?dc=5550002445;ord=1506702289657;idt_product=15;idt_url=325213;idt_category=48;click=”></script>
What’s on the site is:
<script language=”JavaScript1.1″ data-rocketsrc=”https://t.dynad.net/script/?dc=5550002445;ord=1506205322498;idt_product=15;idt_url=325213;idt_category=48;click=” type=”text/rocketscript” data-rocketoptimized=”true”></script>
My site is http://www.bhshow.com.br
You might need to hire a developer to sort out the reasons why your site is no longer connecting to dbase — did you change settings in your wp-config.php file ? Did you get hacked ? Did you web host move servers, or replace RAID drive, or other system error? Did they upgrade PHP version? Did you try disabling *all* plugins except those included with theme, and then clear transients with WP-Optimize plugin, and resave permalinks?
Obviously theme doesn’t control WordPress actually connecting to your dbase — which is normally via the setting in your wp-config.php file, giving WordPress core ability to read/write to your dbase. However, not sure who you were able to add new stories this month, but then not be able to access them.
You had a ton of web server errors, so it might be worth doing a CLEAN install of WordPress, theme, plugins, and double check your wp-config.php file, check you don’t have some weird permissions set via htaccess from old caching plugin, etc.
Likely need to hire somebody to help if none of that makes sense.
Maybe you have an SEO optimizer like Yoast? Check to see if the title there says ‘Blog’..
Hello majorfuss,
2)If you will use the Infinite scroll+Load More you will see that the Load More button will appear on you frontend after some few posts.
3)With above code, notice that you can change the main menu background color, as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/f0TQMMya8rM if is not what you mean, please provide more details or some useful screenshots.
4)Sorry, but please notice that is the default theme behavior. You should optimize your images for a fast loading of theme and this thing depends only on your coding skills and not theme related, sorry!
6)I have inspected your website and I saw that your breadcrumbs structure is not good on your side. It should look like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/UffEvsYffmcK Try to disable all of the untested plugins if you are using something like this, clear all the caches and check the results. Also, if the problem is still there, try to make a new clean install from scratch and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
usually a caching, or micro-caching issue.
What *I* do for our sites
a) clear transients with WP-Optimize plugin
b) resave permalinks
then it works. Same with changing RSS feeds, etc. all sorts of transients seem to get stuck with WP, regardless of theme or browser.
Hope that helps. Worth a try, anyway.
People don’t want to add tons of plugins since it slow down the site.
People chose the theme because it was optimized and have a ajax login form.
People did test the theme and bought it because of great support at beginning and promises to add features to the to-do-list .
People are asking for help or recommendation are clients and clients are the core of each company.
People don’t ask for any thing for free , so they are offering to pay for any customization (or your 500$ coding as you putted it).
Don’t rush rush ,hold your horses. tagdiv company grew from the 50$ your underestimating. 50 and 50 and 50 makes a ton. its not like only one person is asking for this features. There are many clients here that asked the same questions and got the same answer. saying there is a way to address issues other than using a template answer.
i just want to know if you are from tagdiv offical support team.
Pay Peanuts Get Monkeys you say . ha!
a) check your system status
b) you can’t edit a page built with ‘VC’ with ‘TDcomposer’ – you need to make new one
c) clear all caching
d) check for problems with plugins, like Yoast SEO has had bugs — two updates this month(!); try disabling plugins to see which might be causing issue
e) WordPress security update this week; always good to clear transients with WP-Optimize after update AND resave permalinks to clear all micro-caching
f) is using any ‘auto optimization’ plugins, these can break things — disable, or selectively disable minification options
Also note if something “suddenly stops working” it’s because “something” changed on your website. You need to stay on top of what you’re doing — e.g., if you have auto-updates for WP turned on, what got updated? Why? What changed? Did you keep copies of earlier version to roll back if plugin update actually has bug in it trying to fix prior bugs? (ahem, Yoast!).
Food for thought anyway.
Hello,
1. Google keeps giving me this (only) render block error below. I activated Speedbooster and made sure it was not disabled by any other plugin. It didnt make any difference and keeps giving me this error.
https://www.dagonline.nl/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/css/styles.css?ver=4.9
How can i solve this?
2. Also, what is the best way to minify JS, CSS and HTML with the Newspaper theme?
3. http://www.webpagetest.org keeps saying i need to optimize the 2 files below. What is the best way to do this? I use Short Pixel to optimize my images.

Hi,
If you use Google Adsense ads, these can be responsive. More useful information here
– https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/3213689?hl=en
– https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/3543893?hl=en
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/ads-adsense-overview/
If different ads are used, you can display for example particular ads for desktop, and other ads on mobile devices, optimized in that way
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-other-ads-non-adsense-ads/
Please note that if you use the mobile theme plugin, ad codes have to be entered in the mobile theme section

Thanks

usually a caching issue …
That’s why i do the wp-optimize thing and resave permalinks to clear all the ‘micro caching’ — seriously, it helps!
Auto update generally not great idea; but did you try since you should be doing a site backup PRIOR to any WP update (just as it says in the WP admin panel) — but try:
a) clear transients with wp-optimize
b) clear all caching
c) resave permalinks ?
Welcome to WordPress!
( I do a and c every time I update anything! )
When disabling autooptimize i get the same errors. See screenshot of error here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fg2cntik8tdv4el/Sk%C3%A6rmbillede%202017-09-20%2012.25.41.png?dl=0
It points to this line of code:
(b+=tdAffix.menu_offset));”undefined”!==typeof window.tdThemeName&&”Newspaper”===window.tdThemeName&&(b+=20);var d=””;a!==tdSmartSidebar.scroll_window_scrollTop_last&&(d=a>tdSmartSidebar.scroll_window_scrollTop_last?”down”:”up”);tdSmartSidebar.scroll_window_scrollTop_last=a;var e=jQuery(window).height(),f=a+e;a+=b;for(var l=0;l<tdSmartSidebar.items.length;l++){var g=tdSmartSidebar.items[l];g.content_top=g.content_jquery_obj.offset().top;g.content_height=g.content_jquery_obj.height();g.content_bottom=….keeps going here

Yes it doesn’t have anything to do with autooptimize. The erros are still there when disabling the plugin, but instead referring to a tagdiv file.

Thank you so much, I’ll start to test these ideas and one more thing…
In addition, I´d like to change the link underline style/color and hover color, so it would be a site wide option for my content, whenever I add a link into a text. Solutions I have found in the internet, they are a side wide option. Every headline and topic and so on, has the same style, but I want to have only post hyperlinks customized, with custom thickness underline, with a custom color and leave the text black, while on hover it turns into a brand color. And in order to optimize the user experience I’d like these links to open in a new tab while the focus stays at my content.
Thanks for the great support so far.

Hi,
Usually this is caused by plugins interfering in some way with the theme. In this case the errors are present only on the homepage and seem to be caused by the autoptimize plugin, or a setting in the configuration of this plugin
– https://www.screencast.com/t/x2emv6BrvIvG
Check if the errors are still present after disabling the plugin.
Thanks
Hello bwebb,
I have checked your website on Google Page Speed Insights and it seems to be very poor, as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/LyBHMbUM https://www.screencast.com/t/agLqdztuD It seems that your website is not optimized, sorry!

Hello ikkir,
Please check the following topic here -> Notice that the speed booster is an optional plugin which can be activated in the same way as you install a new plugin.
The Speed Booster works only with the tested plugins. If you use other plugins, it will be automatically disabled, and I suggest to check this first in System Status. However there is a workaround to make it also work with other plugins, you can read more here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/speed-booster-not-compatible-with-vaultpress/
Unfortunately, the time doesn’t allow us to provide any custom and optimization services. We provide support only for the theme related issues based on Envato support policy – https://themeforest.net/page/item_support_policy I suggest to get someone to help you if you want to optimize your site.
Thanks for your understanding!
