New newspaper theme user. Generally love the theme. Have been looking high and low though for a fix to a FB issue that only started occuring after installing the newspaper theme. Previously used Jetpack sharing, Yoast SEO, and the twenty fifteen WP theme and had no issue with FB always recognizing the post feature image and post title when posts were shared on FB. Since installing newspaper in the last week, FB no longer recognizes my post feature image or post title. Have tried a few things that have not worked including:
– deactivating sharing on Jetpack. No difference in the results.
– completed the post Social tab on Yoast SEO to force FB to recognize the FB image and title, although I never had to do this in my previous setup. No difference in the results.
– tried loading some other FB open graph plugins one by one which I never used before, but none of the them gave the results I was expecting, so I ended up deleting them one by one.
– tried using the FB developer debugger. It only returns one warning: “The ‘og:url’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.”
Now I notice that the FB debugger is picking up the correct post title, but still is not picking up the post feature image. On the FB debugger under og: image, it shows thumbnails for every picture in the post except the post feature image.
Appreciate any thoughts on what’s happening here and how to fix it.
Thanks
Hi,
I found that this usually happens when loading the font file (which contains those icons) from another host/url. I have checked your browser’s console and you have an error – http://screencast.com/t/b1EwOZfmFGm
The solution would be to load them from the same url as the site or try this solution – http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/71630/font-blocked-from-loading-by-cross-origin-resource-sharing-policy-no-access-co
Thanks!

Doesn’t look right to me…
Hello Pat,
We will consider your request and hopefully we will be able to implement it in future updates. Until then you can maybe use a sharing plugin. There’s a bunch of them out there.
Thank you for your suggestion.
Hi JanuszJasinski,
Thanks for sharing maybe it will help other users!
Hi, for some reason, I can never get my featured image to show up in Facebook meta data when sharing. If I add the picture to the actual article, it’ll show. When I scrape, the og:image will be the featured image but it’s never the image showed on Facebook.
Any suggestions?
Hi! When I share the posts on website on Facebook, the author’s name appears in the box below the abstract. How can I remove? Thanks!
Please understand, I am not complaining or telling you that you are wrong. I have no clue how Pinterest works. I am sharing with you that when using the theme sharing feature, Pinterest only grabs the image on my site. When I replace the theme sharing feature with sharify, or Mashshare, it work like expected. Well almost, Mashshare is pulling up every image to choose from except the featured image. My open graph meta tags are parsed correctly according to Facebook, so I doubt it is a meta tag problem.
Anyways my friends, I have let you know the issue. I don’t have time to continue working on this. My fix worked.
Well all I know is that the picture was all that was showing. You had to manually add any other details. I used the title for the description. Like I said, I am not a coder, but every Pinterest sharing plugin I have used has always put the title in the description under the picture.
Unfortunately my screenshot program doesn’t take shots of popups or I would show you what I am talking about, however it is the text section directly under the picture.
Thank you for responding back. I am not a coder so I am not sure where to put that code. I can find basic stuff but not sure where to place it in the single.php and if there are mods for specific templates.
I do think it is good that you are placing it on the suggestion list. Every Pinterest share button I have used in the last 4 years, has placed the title of the post in the description. I am satisfied with the solution I came up with but I do think it would serve your customers well to add this feature to the Pinterest share button. It also would be nice to have a few additional sharing options like reddit, stumbleupon, linkedin ect.
I have the show date for comments turned off. I am getting an error on all comments when checking a post page with comments on it about the time. Ideas? [IMG]
Thanks!
Hi,
My LinkedIn sharing buttons isn’t the same as the other social sharing buttons by my articles. Can I change this LinkedIn button? Or isn’t this possible?
Thank you for sharing @Pedropapito!
This allows for different ad sizes on different devices – which may be what I’m looking for if I think it through.
Ultimately I’m looking to display an ad in 2 different places – depending on device – so that a 300×250 on the sidebar has better visibility when reformatted for a mobile phone. Here is what I’m thinking (but there may be an easier way than this).
Two ad units, lets call them 300x250_desktop and 300x25_mobile.
300x250_desktop gets placed in the sidebar – it is visible when viewed on tablet / desktop but NOT on mobile.
300x250_mobile is placed Article Inline – it is NOT visible on tablet / desktop but it is visible on mobile.
So effectively only one 300×250 ad unit displays at a time depending on whether it is viewed on desktop or mobile phone.
Can your code example handle this scenario with 2 versions of the same ad size (once again, they can be set up as different ad units)?
Ultimately I’m looking for something like:
If display is mobile, show here (article_inline) else show here (sidebar) … this would be super-simple cause I wouldn’t have to have two ad units – just one that gets executed in different spots depending on the device.
Apologies – I’m probably confusing this too much.
I just wish the theme ad toggle buttons worked for DFP as they do for AdSense because I know exactly how to achieve what I’m going for 😉
Hi there
I am using the Peadig Facebook comments plugin and have disabled the built in comments and the default facebook comments for posts and have put in this code to loop-single.pgp
<footer>

<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_review();?>
<div class="td-post-source-tags td-pb-padding-side">
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_source_and_via();?>

Hi
The site you indicated have our theme but with lots of customization, here are a few tips:
To get the social sharing top on the same line with the author name you need to edit the file which correspond with the post template used, and move the indicated line in meta info container like here: http://screencast.com/t/kndbkTivLDaj then add this custom css in theme panel > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/0Lg6ehz0
.td-post-sharing-top{
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 10px;
}On the indicated site the category pages have disabled content top: http://screencast.com/t/uH1xkMfmQY
The theme doesn’t have an option to add a different banner image for every category, but you could achieve that by adding a set of condition in category.php file like here: http://screencast.com/t/xkOcUuRK13re
<div class="top-baner">
<?php if (is_category('business')) {
echo '<img src="http://localhost/wp_11/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/p1.jpg" alt="Smiley face" height="200" width="1042">';
}
elseif (is_category('vogue')) {
echo '<img src="http://localhost/wp_11/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/p1.jpg" alt="Smiley face" height="200" width="1042">';
}?>
</div>You must add a condition for every category and set the image which you want to display. You may need some other customization for this and if you don’t know how to do it youself my advice is to look for a developer from sites like: http://studio.envato.com/ as we cannot ofer any type of custom work at the moment.
Hope this help!
Thanks!
Hi,
Please check this topic how to add a share button(it is from newsmag but principles are the same) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/add-a-new-linkedin-button/ Also you can check this topic – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/linkedin-button/ You need to use a plugin for icons like Font Awesome 4 Menus, which is supported by the theme.
Add td-social-sharing-buttons class and a custom class like td-social-reddit to add a background color.
Also take a look at our buttons how they are made and try to use get_permalink() instead of the_permalink().
Regarding the fonts you can search online opinions about TypeKit vs Google. Like you know the theme use google fonts by default.
Thanks!
Yeah, the weird part is that i already have XML RPC off in functions using your code add_filter(‘xmlrpc_enabled’, ‘__return_false’);
Also can somebody help me add new native share buttons to what you already have.. currently it is just facebook and twitter.. i would really like to add Reddit! I’ve looked all over the place on how to do it like here: https://www.doitwithwp.com/add-sharing-buttons-to-wordpress-no-plugins-or-external-references/
but they use <?php the_permalink(); ?> which doesn’t get the URL
Any help would be great!!
Oh, here is a link to all the possible reddit share buttons https://www.reddit.com/buttons/
I think adding more options in future that you can turn on which networks would be extremely awesome!
Regards,
Glenn

Hey guys,
I would like to have fb sharing option similiar to the one in upworthy.com. Once an article is opened and scrolled down you get a drop down menu like stuff on the top od the page with a big fb share option along with the article title. I have attached the screenshot for quick reference. Is there any plugin available or any other way to get this done..
Any kind of help will be highly appreciated!!
Cheers,
AMSP
Hi,
Like I said above, unfortunately the like buttons must be enable on your post page to have twitter pop up. If you don’t want the like buttons to be visible, you can hide them via custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css – http://screencast.com/t/FpLkdMhMz7p
.td-post-sharing-bottom .td-classic-sharing {
display: none;
}
Thanks!
Hmmm for some reason it takes the captcha form along for the ride: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7ONmDzXJ27YbWIyMm1fX0FMeWs/view?usp=sharing
Do you need our url?
This is the process I went to update theme…
Deactivated Revslider, Js Composer, Social Counter
Reuploaded those plugins via FTP overwrite.
Uploaded all patch files (some files were missing like td_api were not in the patch directory, noticed after upload and simply just reuploaded the whole theme folder skipping exisiting files.
I had my managed team revert the server back to last night. Lost a few posts this morning but good thing it’s a holiday and traffic is slow 😉
I would really like to have one of your specialists work with us to get this updated.
Is there any direct contact email I can give you a shout from? I dislike sharing my site name on theme support forums as they tend to be a trolling ground for malicious folks to gather info of certain sites running certain themes and create a database of them for future attacks.
Perhaps an option on the forums is to allow post author to select private post only for admins to see.
Hi and thanks for the suggestion, but I do not have either the top or bottom like/tweet enabled. I don’t like the old style buttons and they are redundant when you have the sharing enabled.
So the answer for me was to enable the like/tweet at the bottom but not the top. Still it would be nice to be able to get rid of the old style like/tweet buttons that are redundant.
Oh yeah, and how can I show the sharing buttons on simple pages ?
