BTW, what I did for now was to simply comment it out in the theme, then use the AddThis plugin to put below posts. Works perfectly while Radu is doing evolutionary stuff. We needed a couple more sharing options, so this is how it looks:
will try to put URL as code, as I’m *NOT* trying to promote pages here (!)

Additionally, I use the WP-Optimize plugin to regularly optimize my WP dbase. Cutting 800kb out of your dbase once a week, or after a large number of posts/pages, also speeds up your system overhead.
Typically, we post several stories, then do backup of WP dbase for safekeeping, then run WP optimize to clean house of all the temp files, overhead, etc.
Much like SEO, “Page Speed” is a program and not a plugin. It requires research, implementation and support ticket with your hosting provider, or if you have a VPS or full dedicated box, they don’t turn anything on for you by default — you have to tell them what you need to make it go. We had to test our server cache settings as the first time they were too broad, and we dialed that back (you don’t want to have your home page cached for a week, obviously, but images can be cached for a month or year, for example as they don’t change).
Enabling gzip or similar compression on web server is mandatory, and this is good for 20+ points on Page Speed (SERIOUSLY!). What this does is compress the files sent to the web browser which the web browser decompresses on the fly (modern PCs and Macs are mini supercomputers after all); so instantly almost everything sent from the page to the browser is cut by 50-80% — THAT speeds up the page immensely.
THE TAKEAWAY:
1) web server compression MUST be enabled and setup — this is good for 20+ points on Google Page Speed !
2) proper expiration headers must be served for static content like local hosted fonts, favicon, apple icons, images — this also impacts page speed as it tells browsers like Chrome and Google’s caching server not to keep loading content over and over again.
3) images must be properly optimized before upload to your blog/publication — don’t upload a 50kb file if a 25kb file will do —
4) avoid bad behavior plugins such as those which load additional style sheets not needed, or loading too many ad units (10 ad units on a page will slow it down!)
5) consider using a caching plugin like W3C which can fix things like combining CSS, moving JS to footer
TEST, modify, review, TEST, review, adjust.
Obviously Radu, Marius and co need to setup a FAQs/knowledgebase page for all their themes on this topic or folks will keep posting again and again asking why their WP page doesn’t get 99. The theme is part of the picture, not the only item in the picture.
Sharing all of this as this topic has been the #1 thing I’ve been working on with our other sites, including our main business site which I have up to 99 PageSpeed and 96 YSLOW, using a CDN on top of our own dedicated server, but NOT using WordPress. It’s a complex subject, but Radu and co have done a freaky good job in making this theme work with all the other pieces — and I bought about 10 other themes before this one — and they all sucked, as we say here in the states.
Peace and hope all of that helped somebody 🙂

Hello,
Is it possible to set the social sharing buttons to appear underneath the featured image instead of underneath the post?
Thanks in advance!

Hi I’ve just installed Newspaper and have a couple initial problems.
1. The icons do not show up anywhere. The menu bar, search icons, social sharing, back to top icon. Is there something else I was suppose to install?
2. My revolution Slider does not appear. I have tried to include it on the home page with a shortcode, as well as with the page builder Revolution Slider module – but it just will not appear.
Thank you.
Hello,
I see you have added on post, to align with other social inline add this in style.css
.td-social-sharing ul li {
display: inline-block !important;
}
.td-social-vkontakte #vk_like {
width: 120px !important;
}Thanks

Yes, try it live to see if work.
That’s a normal behavior of the facebook script if you’re working in local environment e.g. xampp.
Hello,
Working locally so I’m afraid I can’t send a link…
Anything else you can think of to make it easier for you to see what’s going on?
Thanks,

Hello,
Delete this code http://screencast.com/t/k0hrTdkLq to remove our sharing and use your link instead.
Or use a sharing plugin if you want something else.
Thanks
Hello,
@taskforsome what do you use for sharing? We doesn’t change anything on that part.
@cristiandark when you post manually you can select another image to share? Can you give me an URL to test the facebook share?
Thanks

Hello,
You can translate the theme from Theme – Option -> Translate, search there for SIMILAR ARTICLES
For ads do you followed steps from here: http://import.tagdiv.com/newspaper/doc/ads.html
*To disable sharing you have in Theme Customizer -> Post settings http://screencast.com/t/T81JpD8K8JUI
Thanks
I’m helping myself today. 🙂
– Facebook Like Box
DONE. From widgets setup.
– Built in sharing buttons.
DONE. Managed to erase the right lines.
Questions that remain:
Where can I change title of “SIMILAR ARTICLES”?
I tried this to remove built in sharing buttons:
Edit td_module_blog.php file and delete this code: http://screencast.com/t/sfWcFgff
But my site stopped loading, I re-rolled to the previous file. Any other ways to removed built in sharing options?
This is properly labeled version of a prior post.
Hi, folks
there is a minor bug, which is a user field conflict with the Yoast SEO plugin which breaks the proper OG tag meta data for the author’s twitter ID for twitter card sharing, etc.
SPECIFICALLY:
Yoast setups a field called “twitter” which needs only the user’s id such as
@userid
While, the theme needs to have the full URL/URI to twitter
http://twitter/userid
PROBLEM:
if we use the full URL with Newspaper in the user > settings > twitter field, in order to have the link work in the author box, we get a broken twitter card meta data with Yoast
conversely, if we leave it as it’s been for quite a long time, with only the @userid in the twitter field, then in Newspaper, in the author box, we get a broken 404 url on every post, which is
/site/name-of-pretty-permalink@USERID
SOLUTION:
While I’ve put in a bug track on github with Joost/Yoast for a possible solution; the fact is many many people are using Yoast – many more than the theme at the moment.
Ideally, you should register a new field “Twitter URL” (e.g., td_twiturl ) in functions.php and then pull the author box meta from the new field and not the pre-existing twitter field.
I am happy to hack the theme to register a new field for our site, however need to know where in your templates/includes/modules I can find the author box loop to pull the new registered author meta field for “twitter URL” in place of “Twitter.”
ALTERNATE OPTION: let me know know to mod the theme to not pull the twitter user meta into the author box, so we can use the @USERID for the Yoast meta pull in the head.
UPSHOT:
right now twitter card meta data for all authors is broken with the theme.
Hi, as quick follow up.
Seems Yoast adds data field for Twitter and Google+ and expects to see
(user setup, per user/author)
Twitter account: @name
Google+: linktogoogle/accountname?rel=author
When the theme uses these same fields for placing in author box, it expects to see:
Twitter account: https://linktotwitter/name
Google+: linktogoogle/accountname
So….. seems either theme or Yoast will break.
Fix options:
1) use @name in user setup for proper author placement in yoast og/twitter card META; and then add new user data record for Newspaper Twitter Account (full URL)
2) or, get Yoast to update to use full twitter account – but with tens of thousands of sites using Yoast, seems more applicable to modify theme behavior at this point
1) Option to remove the Google author data from footer generated by theme, which is redundant with yoast/etc.
2) remove rel=”author” and conform with yoast and others using the full url with ?rel=author already added; but still have option to remove since redundant even without the additional rel=author added.
Right now we either have broken meta data for sharing to author’s @account in twitter/tweets, or broken link under author box — choice of two evils. And for Google author have broken link in footer for rel=author?rel=author
Hello,
This is a service for sharing 🙂 They have a plugin for WordPress that use the service. https://www.po.st/get-it You can try it if you like, but i don’t know it is free.
Thanks @iOSPortalSK
Hey Marius,
I just want to add something to this. I think that the theme would benefit hugely, if you improved that “panel” with share icons. It has so much potential. For example, you could style it, so it resembled the menu panel a little bit, alternatively, you could do it like this, which is pretty cool: http://puu.sh/4XLca.png  You can find it on AndroidPolice.com.
