Since switching to Cloud Templates, the header ad (Google AdSense) seems to not be centering on phones. Is there a custom code or anything else for this that won’t affect other ads on the page that are fine?

Thank you Calin. I see that Simon also emailed me.
I have done some troubleshooting prior to my messages. My php memory was set at 256MB and I complied to the majority of the other points referred to regarding minimum requirements.
What was an immediate solution was in fact the php version from 5.5 to 7.2. It was an instant solution on almost all issues i experienced.
Tagdiv composer works.
Website on desktop is back to what it was.
Mobile is almost 100% just the advert art that is missing, but i will be uploading my own so that should be resolved.
I did update to 9.6.1. Thank you. This worked perfectly this time and I added the WP Cache and activated AMP and naturally did the settings as prompted.
So I want to say thank you very much for helping and assisting. I am really very happy and impressed with the detail to response from both Simon and you.
Here is a link if you have the time to look at the page. http://www.backstagemanagement.co.za/wordpress There is still loads of tweaking to do and changes to make, but we are almost there.
two things:
Is it possible to make the social share and follow buttons all round on mobile and desktop. The share buttons on a post i have made round “top of post” and “bottom of post” is there anywhere else to do this?
Thank you again. I am very relieved!
Marius
That seems to work without the huge memory setting. The page still loads a bit slow on sites with a lot of posts, BUT… it loads, AND the button shows up.
You guys gotta get this released in the next update.
Thanks for the help. Note that a bunch of my other problems went away with this fix, so maybe tell your support team that this fixes the missing button problem and error 500 loading of cloud templates problem too (It might help others).
Thanks.
Hi!
I’ve built many pages before and I cannot understand what is happening this time. Perhaps it is due to the new version?
I’m running Newspaper v 9.6
I’ve made an entire page, saved it in TD composer, then saved it and the message came saying “successfully saved”
But when I try to go back, then TD Composer shows a completely empty page!
Looking at the bottom of the page, I see that the code (which usually appears in the editor area of the traditional page composer) still figures in “Custom Fields” “tdc_content” (I have copied the code below)
But there is also a 1 in “tdc_dirty_content”
Could you help please? I’ve already tried to make the same page again, unsuccessfully.
Here is the code:

another question
is possible to make rotation ads in newspaper – looking for a easy way to place several ads in one space and show it randomly or in certain order or percentage ( eg 25 % first / 25 % second and 50 % third)
Dear Catalin,
The problem is that we have up to 20 news in one slider. As in the picture http://test.vesti-online.com:8080/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Screenshot_2.png We are now on five-digit numbers and in a few months we will be on the six-digit. This is a series of large numbers that we can hardly control. The question relates to the size of the window in which the article ID is entered. Can you help us expand the window for easier insertion and bindings of articles as shown in the picture. http://test.vesti-online.com:8080/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Screenshot_6.jpg If you have any other solution that we can directly insert a particular article into the slider order, it would be great.
I have a number of other issues reported, but I think I’ve tracked down the overall problem with Cloud Templates.
On some sites Cloud Templates loads just fine and shows the “Add New” button.
On some sites Cloud Templates loads, but do NOT show the “Add New” button.
On some sites Cloud Templates just errors with error 500.
I tried the advice you provided on another ticket to increase memory, and I found that when I increase memory, the more I do that, the more sites starts working. In fact, the memory required increase proportionally to the number of posts I have on my sites.
- Site with 100 posts seems to always work, and the Cloud template page loads fast.
- Sites with 100-8000 posts works with 256M
- Sites with 8-1000 posts can load the cloud templates at 256MB, but does not show ADD NEW button until memory is increased to 512M, then the Add New button appears. Note that at 386M the button does NOT appear
- On a site with 65,000 posts, I don’t have enough memory to get the button to show up, but at 4096M I can get the Cloud Template page to load.
So, The FIRST thing that works as I start adding memory is the page starts loading again. As I add more memory, the “Add New” button starts working again later.
So, clearly, the amount of memory required from the Cloud Templates depends on how many posts the site has, which is a huge problem. If I was to guess, it’s because your “used on” column checks all the content, but inadvertently uses a TON of memory.
If you can fix this in a new release I think you could solve a bunch of other problems I have (And others will have), where the Cloud Templates won’t work on large sites.
Hi,
If you want to load some ads other than the Google Adsense when you are using the AMP, notice that you should add the Ad Code in the Mobile Theme Ads section, from here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/mG8kFlnWE
Thanks for your understanding!
Theme: Newspaper-tf-9.5
Symptom: after click on menu item (category), category page loads with default layout (5 images in a first row and below there are biger images with content snipet). Problem is that in first row there is no Title printed on the image. If i hover on menu with mouse, then smaller images with titles appears. Strange.
For more fun: this happens only on 1 category, others are ok for now. What’s wrong here, does anyone have similar problem before?
Thank you for any answer.
I have since installed amp and mobile theme but it seems only google ads work there. How do I use other ads that are not adsense?
So, I have that situation, my site is composed by 1 default post type and 3 custom post types, say it “test”, “quiz”, “photogallery”.
I created a custom post template inside Cloud Templates, but if I set it on the theme options as the default template for all posts, the custom post types are not affected by this, they load a different template…
This is a normal post with the template created on Cloud Templates: http://dev.libreriamo.it/arte/filippo-de-pisis-incontro-arte-scrittura-mostra-ferrara/
And this is a custom post type, it must’ve been a “quiz”, and it loads some other template…: http://dev.libreriamo.it/sondaggi/andrea-camilleri-quale-dei-suoi-libri-vostro-preferito/
Any suggestion?
Hi,
The Adsense Auto Ads may appear anywhere on the website, please check the documentation for auto ads -> https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/160534?hl=en
On very refresh on your post/page the auto ads will appear in other place.
Thank you!
Hi,
Thank you for oyur kind words and also, I feel sorry if you are not happy with the latest version of our theme (v9.6).
The new feature of this update is the AMP+Mobile Theme packet which works well if there will be together enabled. Regarding on Ads, if you do not want to use the Mobile Theme, and just using the AMP plugin and if you want to display more Ads, you need to make some custom modification through the code in order to display them. Unfortunately, the theme does not have any support for this, if the Mobile Theme is not active, sorry! As a hint, in order to achieve as you wish, you should check the following useful tutorial which guides you in the right direction. -> https://isabelcastillo.com/google-adsense-wordpress-amp -> https://isabelcastillo.com/auto-ads-amp-wordpress Unfortunately, the Mobile Theme does not have any such an option that allows you to load your desired font, but only if you will add them such via custom CSS code.
Please notice that we are working on a new update, where we add another functionality regarding on AMP which you have possibly to use the only AMP without a mobile theme, remains the desktop layout. We try doing our best for our future updates.
Thanks for oyur understanding!
Best regards!
Hi there,
I just added Adsense Auto Ads to our page http://www.eldiadesabadell.cat
But, when you enter in a post, an ad is showing in the author box, between author picture and description. See an example: https://eldiadesabadell.cat/index.php/2019/03/14/los-enfermos-en-la-uci-del-tauli-tendran-gafas-de-realidad-virtual-gracias-a-una-enfermera-premiada-por-ello/
How can we delete this ad, or move to another place?
thanks a lot
After the recent update to Newspaper i’ve discovered that smartlists no longer work.
For instance if i choose Smartlist 4 only the images appear on the left and the sidebar either loads below the post or on the left hand side (overlapping the content area on left)
If i remove the images, then the same smartlist appears properly. Case in point https://www.techvise.pk/best-parcel-forwarding-services/
Another e.g. which is active and you can try and solve this is here: https://www.techvise.pk/mobile-banking-apps-in-pakistan/6/
The article is very long so it is set as Smartlist 3.
Please check the problem, this is quite alarming for us and we need a fix asap
Hello, I created a custom tag page and used the Loop element. I wanted to put ads on tag pages as well as category and search after the second blog post. How can I do this?
Also on the homepage when you click the “Load More” button to display more articles, is it possible to have another ad pop up?
Edit: Not sure if this will have any affect, but I would like to place this within the Child Theme so if I update the theme, nothing will be lost.
Hi,
As far as I know AMP can’t display a featured video, option that in this case is provided by the theme. So only a thumbnail of the video will appear in the AMP version. Post is still valid though – http://prntscr.com/my52tf
Maybe this isn’t an actual issue to worry about – https://port135.com/2019/01/02/content-mismatch-missing-embedded-video/
So you tried entering those ad codes in the mobile theme ad sections and they do not work? That may happen, adsense will work, other ads should work as well, but there could be exceptions.
Thanks
The issue with the menu that you mention is under investigation. Seems that on some pages AMP is not loading properly, while on other pages it does. While there is no apparent difference between these pages something is causing the problem.
For example here it does not work and AMP is not loading for this page
– https://www.gadgetbridge.com/about/ while in this other page it loads and works
– https://www.gadgetbridge.com/privacy-policy/
We have requested admin and cPanel from a few users, so we can try and identify why is this happening as soon as possible. We are very sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks. Would like to filter more broadly excluding all with a particular tag from the Category block.
For example I have a “Creative” category which focuses on ads from Asia. I have another that features ads from outside of Asia. I would like to list both those types of posts in the “Creative” category but not have them both show up in the block.
Hello guys,
Tagdiv one of the greatest WP theme developers. They created a great and light weight theme designs for bloggers, businesses, entrepreneurs, niches and more.
The Newsletter theme worlds #1 selling and using theme. Why the #1 because they (they) deserved it.
They recently released Newspaper v9.6 it’s a totally big fail on the theme development.
How can I say fail matter, yeah it’s true, newspaper v9.6 big fail.
Whenever they released v9.6, the forum filled with so many problems.
1. AMP
The AMP works fine only when I’m using mobile plugin. Ofcourse, the amp works also without mobile plugin but I can’t monetize my site with Ads.
The ads (article, top, bottom, inline, etc) only managed by mobile plugin.
*today are the most of the people using mobile devices to reading our blog posts.
*Some bloggers only earn money only for monetizing ads.
2. Mobile theme
Mobile theme is perfectly good. But some users didn’t like that. Because the desktop structure is different and mobile theme structure is totally different.
The mobile (plugin) theme displays only 3 blocks featured posts and recent posts.
So, when user visit our site he/she immediately goes back. Then our bounce rate very huge impact.
Internet have huge blogs, we need to beat some one.
So, theme design must be impressive.
* The person who have using v9.6 they can’t monetize AMP ads without mobile plugin. (It is totally big disappointed right.!)
* Ok, when we ready to use the mobile plugin we can’t change mobile menu text type (roboto, lato, open sans, ubuntu etc.) it’s comes from default.
***There are so many others, but these are the main reasons affect our blogging career.
Please think blogger point of view they only earn money from monetize, sponsored content, affiliate etc.
Most of the users come with mobile devices. When the user feels not good the site then he immediately goes back. *Bounce rate will be very high.
Kindly, please take this an serious issues.
We will wait for the successful v9.7 with stunning features.
If anything wrong for me, I really apologize.
We are making some tests since multiple users have the same problem. Could be changes made to the ads on Google’s part since we did not change the code in the theme.
From initial testing it seems that the ads are not served in the desired sizes even if this is request in the ad code
– https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/6307124?hl=en
Seems to affect all 300x sizes. Others seem to work. Also the same happens when using a default WordPress theme. I will try and post results here as the investigation continues.
Hi,
1. Actually WP Super cache is rated quite good in reviews – https://www.isitwp.com/best-wordpress-caching-plugins-compared/
– https://kinsta.com/blog/wordpress-caching-plugins/
While it may not be the best solution there is, it still is in the top caching plugins. AS far as I know this is the only caching plugin that works with the mobile theme properly. Maybe others do as well if configured in a right way, but I can’t say which one and what configuration unfortunately.
2. I tested a post from your website with both AMP validator and test
– http://prntscr.com/mxn9hl – http://prntscr.com/mxn9k5
– http://prntscr.com/mxnakd – http://prntscr.com/mxnanm
– http://prntscr.com/mxnc62 – http://prntscr.com/mxnc8b
AMP is valid in the posts from what I can see. That message in the console seems to say something about a script. Are you sure it is a script loaded by the theme? What exactly is this script if it’s possible to find out?
This https://prnt.sc/mx7lwd is related to AMP auto ads, how exactly are you implementing the ads? Should be like this – http://prntscr.com/mxnext
That tag meta name=”viewport” is loaded by the AMP plugin in the head, only once
– http://prntscr.com/mxngvh
Where exactly does it appear twice?
3. The menu icon appears and works just fine at the moment – http://prntscr.com/mxngvh
Let me know if I should check somewhere more specific.
4. I can’t say if this will be implemented at the moment, or if it is possible to do with the mobile theme. It is noted as a request and will be strongly considered.
6. This works in our tests and I haven’t seen similar topics about it. Maybe this is a specific situation where it does not work. If you want us to investigate provide admin login as well as cPanel if possible at contact@tagdiv.com.
7. Maybe it takes a while. I will add this for testing to check if it works as it should.
Thanks
Hi,
If I understand correctly you want to set some ads in homepage in the sidebar, if is so then you need to edit the homepage with tagDiv Composer and set there and ad box

Hi,
I was having the same problem after inserting some HTML into a page, just to test an idea I had.
However, the Error at rows: N(models) : N(dom) error only showed up after some time. I was able to close and open the same page multiple times over a considerable length of time before I encountered the error. Despite this, I could still view the page in a browser without error, open it up to edit but not switch over to tagDiv Composer. Does, the tagDiv Composer parser not work in real time?
In the referenced article. Solution 1, reads – “Clean the code. Recreate the element with the tagDiv Composer. If you need to add other items that are not present in the tagDiv Composer elements list, please use a “Column text” element”
So,
1. I created a blank page
2. Switched to tagDiv Composer and added a Column Text element to the column.
3. Did nothing else and viewed the page in a browser.
4. Viewed the source code and validated the HTML at https://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input
The generated HTML gave the following errors.
Error 20: Error: Saw ” when expecting an attribute name. Probable cause: = missing immediately before.

2. <div class="wpb_wrapper">

5. <div class="td-fix-index">

7. </div>
8. </div>
9. </div>
10. </div>
11.
Could the generated double quote ” at line 3 above be a cause for the Error at rows: N(models) : N(dom) as my HTML text editor is unable to match up the opening and closing div tags correctly until I remove it.
Also, have you designed tagDiv Composer so that inserted HTML fragments appear b/w the <p></p> tags?
In the theme dashboard, in the ads tab I can only add 1 inline ad, I’d like to know if I can put more than 1 inline ad
Maybe creating another ‘Article Inline Ad’ tab, does anyone know if I can do this?
