Search Results for 'review'

I have been popping in to check on release of new version with fix for the bug affecting review ratings in Google SERPS/snippets in the NEWSMAG theme (not Newspaper).

So, throwing my two cents in from time to time when I see something in forum I might be able to help with a moment of my time.

Glad to help!

Well, yes, YOAST SEO has had some on/off issues, including a security issue. Which is why I normally don’t jump on the “update” until reviewing the changelog, and then waiting for a dot revision. There was one period where they were adding all the Google analytics stuff and that caused issues, and they did five revisions in 2 days (!). But it never hampered publishing.

The issue we *did* have with publishing was the “remove stop words” function, causing some links to not work right. But we could still publish stuff.

Also had issue with trying to hide the /category/ in front of /category/catname/ to have one less path – that didn’t work well as we use a lot of sub-cats for easier navigation (e.g., book reviews, fiction, and poetry might all be under “reads” to separate from movies/tv and music).

Still, some YOAST functions do require you to actually go through each screen and tweak.

ALSO: when updating the plugin, sometimes the settings get wonked, and your sitemap suddenly doesn’t work (!). I had that happen recently.

So…. usually if I update Yoast WordPress SEO, I go through the settings and resave just to make sure the dbase entries are correct/updated for the plugin.

YOU MIGHT TRY THAT… just go through and resave settings, double check social media stuff, resave sitemap stuff (I sometimes change from 1000 per page to 999 per page to “force” refresh that). Stupid stuff like that. Couldn’t hurt 🙂

But generally (sorry to keep using that word so often) … there is no conflict between the basic functions of WordPress SEO and the theme. And none of the problems were theme related, but due to plugin problems, which might be addressed on the support page for the plugin also.

Ok, I have tested it…

Put this:

human_time_diff( $td_article_date_unix, (int) current_time(‘timestamp’))

In the get_date() method inside /includes/wp_booster/td_module.php

My get_date() method inside td_module.php:

Don’t copy/paste the example, because it could change operations, since I’ve customized a lot in my theme!)

function get_date($show_stars_on_review = true) {
        $visibility_class = '';
        if (td_util::get_option('tds_p_show_date') == 'hide') {
            $visibility_class = ' td-visibility-hidden';
        }

        $buffy = '';
        if (td_review::has_review($this->td_review) and $show_stars_on_review === true) {
            //if review show stars
            $buffy .= '<div class="entry-review-stars">';
            $buffy .=  td_review::render_stars($this->td_review);
            $buffy .= '</div>';

        } else {
            if (td_util::get_option('tds_p_show_date') != 'hide') {
                $td_article_date_unix = get_the_time('U', $this->post->ID);
                $buffy .= '<div class="td-post-date">';
                    $buffy .= '<time  itemprop="dateCreated" class="entry-date updated td-module-date' . $visibility_class . '" datetime="' . date(DATE_W3C, $td_article_date_unix) . '" > ' . human_time_diff( $td_article_date_unix, (int) current_time(‘timestamp’)) . '</time>';
                    $buffy .= '<meta itemprop="interactionCount" content="UserComments:' . get_comments_number($this->post->ID) . '"/>';
                $buffy .= '</div>';
            }
        }

        return $buffy;
    }

Ideally you would use the “suggested” plugin for the theme, “Contact Form 7,” or similar, to set the desired fields and how the information is emailed to you.

The default contact us page is just like the demo:
http://themeforest.net/item/newsmag-news-magazine-newspaper/full_screen_preview/9512331

The demo contact us page uses Contact Form 7: https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/

Docs: http://contactform7.com/docs/

All good for the footer, but each time I post a video I CANT but a sidebar like in your demo (ex: http://themeforest.net/item/newsmag-news-magazine-newspaper/full_screen_preview/9512331) ! I have to choose the no sidebar option if I want a video post (see: http://prntscr.com/5mq5ek) ! My video post look like that http://mmanouvelles.com/2014/12/30/ufc-182-embedded-episode-1-video/ !

Thanks ! BTW ! Best theme I buy so far on ThemeForest ! 🙂

Hi,

I have removed the visual composer folder via ftp as you stated but I am still getting this error message when I try to reinstall it.

The plugin does not have a valid header.

Downloading install package from /home/katsdeli/public_html/review/wp-content/themes/Newsmag-child/includes/plugins/js_composer.zip…

Download failed. A valid URL was not provided.

Where can I down load the visual composer folder from, to upload via ftp?

Thank you,

Katrien.

If I try to install visual composer via the instructions on this link

https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/

I have my design the way I want, but what I see as a preview isn’t what is showing up live.

My preview

Current Home Page

Home page control panel

Also.. I cant gets my header ad or my side bar ad to show up.

So (continued)
WP 4.1; Theme 1.31 Unit/Linux/Apache/CentOS

Not using child theme.
No minification.
Only changed name of theme folder and name in CSS file to sitename.
Not using megamenus.
Not using revslider.
Not using jetpack.
Disqus turned off.

HEADER.PHP HACK: (same hack we did with Newspaper where snippets worked right)
One hack to header.php was removing call to pingback since we don’t want that
REMOVED:<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo( 'pingback_url' ); ?>" />
Removed the “facebook sharing fix for videos” section, not needed for our use.

Yoast WordPress SEO = on
TagDiv speed booster = on

Post settings:
Default = style 2
Featured Images – use = on
Breadcrumbs = all on
Lightbox = off
more articles box = off
ajax count = off
Related article = show by category
Sharing – all off except show top article sharing

Still showing error of not seeing the rating in preview.

TEST:
on the off chance it’s one of my customizations in functions.php
(I turn off Yoast in toolbar, hide ?version numbers and change default compression; post message for those trying to hack login/ping)
I am removing all of those …… NO CHANGE

Argh. So far only thought at this point is checking the actual content that makes up the review text itself, but looking at the Techwalls site with same issue, I don’t see any oddball characters in the summary box that might cause such an issue.

okay, now with Yoast WordPress SEO “on” as well as “Limit Longin Attempts” plugin turned on (security to block repeat hack attempts by password guessing with bots); we now see the “rdfa-node” populated.

The preview still does not show the rating.

Publisher markup now on via Yoast setting, but “not verified publisher markup” error – even though it is verified.

Bookmark section related to item 1 appears to be error; as that is different story than “this page.”

TEST:
am removing all my custom CSS ….. NO CHANGE

TEST:
turn off post setting ‘show related articles’ …… NO CHANGE
except “bookmark” in first box, now shows link to the first item from sidebar under module “what’s new”

TEST:
remove sidebar second Google adsense box …. NO CHANGE

TEST:
remove all sidebar AdSense Ads (2) ….. NO CHANGE

TEST
switch sidebar ads back on; turn off header AdSense ad …. NO CHANGE

TEST
theme based social sharing at top/bottom of post = OFF ….. NO CHANGE

Okay… we have a problem here, too.

With theme v 1.31 and WordPress 4.1, all plugins off except Visual Composer, and mod_pagspeed off, we’re seeing a problem with an example review page, here:
http://ga-ga.com/1890/book-review-people-deserve-a-fighting-chance/

when tested with the Google rich test tool,
https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?q=http%3A%2F%2Fga-ga.com%2F1890%2Fbook-review-people-deserve-a-fighting-chance%2F

the preview does not show the rating; although this does show in middle of the lineup
Item 2

type: http://schema.org/rating
property:

worstrating: 1
bestrating: 5
ratingvalue: 4.6

also showing the
Error: Page contains property “maincontentofpage” which is not part of the schema.

Very odd that the first schema hatom-feed also includes a “bookmark” element, which appears to be the first “related posts” item below author bio and social media elements, almost as if something from either the bio box or the summary for review is causing a grouping. There is a copyright symbol in the author bio, and there is a $ in the summary for price of book.

Very odd since conversely this page from the “demo” has no issue
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/td-post-baby-is-totally-delighted-by-his-first-taste-of-solid-food/

when comparing the two, the section on the hatom-feed is very different, and no “rdfa-node” box.

MOST NOTABLY for our own page, this important section is not fully fleshed out:
Item
type: http://schema.org/review

Very odd.

—————————

Will proceed with activating Yoast WordPress SEO next.

Weird.
You can see in one of my posts, the image fits just right with 640px width
http://ga-ga.com/1815/book-review-good-title-bad-title-beatles-destroyed-rock/

AH

on your page you have inserted a larger image
http://afro.freshmedleydesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/AY-NewsMag-size-2-1024×576.png

which is being inserted into the page as 681×383, which is breaking your layout.

You may want to go into the wp settings > media > and set the large or medium size to 640×480 or something like that, even though the theme should be doing that.

Also check the newsmag theme setting for blocks to ensure the 640×0000 size is “enabled” checked “on.”

That should solve it 🙂
