Hi,
This issue usually comes from uploading images that are smaller than the container. The theme crops images but it does not enlarge them. Your images need to be at least the size of the thumbnail used for your grid.
If your images are big enough, then you can follow this guide to fix the strange looking images: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
you can use the thumbnail upscale plugin as it will enlarge images to fit the containers but you need to also regenerate thumbs afterwards.
Thank you!

Hello cva183,

This is not a right behaviour of the theme, strange. Please notice in our demo, here -> http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ and there you can see that the theme works fine. I suspect your issue being from your untested plugins which you are using in your theme. Please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all cache and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins.

Hope this help and let us know how it goes!

Thank you for the message!

Thanks for your answers. We are not using Jetpack or Photon.

It’s kind of strange. We just checked our website on 4 different iPads. On two of them everything is fine and on the other two the images are blurry. I tested not only our blog but also some other blogs using the newspaper theme including the theme demo.

It was the same with all the blogs: On two iPads it’s fine and on two other iPads it’s blurry. Maybe it has something to do with the version of the iPads.

Hi Chris

Any chance of a steer with one AMP error

Have cleared all other errors in search console except ‘Prohibited tag – INTERACTION .

Tag is the only error left in 2,000+ posts but I can’t even find a reference to this tag anywhere on the web.

Strangely 3 posts have passed AMP but 2,000 haven’t – wonder what’s different?

(Ref our last conversation about syndicating send2press – are you US only news?)

Hello,
I have a strange issue with Visual Composer. It does not allow me to drag and drop any modules. I can create rows but nothing else.

I am running WP 4.4.2, Newspaper 6.7 and VC 4.9

It worked at one point in time but it stopped

Thanks for your help

Hi Bogdan,

I will give it another try and then let you know, but it seems pretty strange as I have already updated the theme multiple times. In any case, with the last update:

– no content is loaded in my homepage (created with Visual Composer);
– sidebars are not loaded in single pages;
– megamenu is not working.

Hello Chucho,

Thank you for your suggestion. Usually, this kind of error appears when using CDN or loading fonts from a different source. Please try to use this solution and take a look at this: http://screencast.com/t/AMjW530CSH6 and this: http://screencast.com/t/dLjEUGGwQUZ
The solution to this issue is simple. You will need to add some code to your .htaccess file like this post suggests: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/strange-chinese-symbols-replaced-icons-and-arrows/

Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!

Thank you for the message!

Hi,
They look like the same size from your screenshot and they should be the same size as this is how the theme was built. It uses the same thumbnail size for all the posts inside a block element. if they really have different sizes, it means that you do not have the thumbnail activated from the block settings here:
http://screencast.com/t/7LP3lGhKDs
If you did not regenerate your thumbnails after you switched to newspaper, then you should fo it now as the theme needs it’s thumbnail sizes to be created. Please follow this guide:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Hope this helps.
Thank you!

Thanks!

Hey guys,

So I loaded some test posts into my site so far. In some of the block where I list these articles out i’m getting this error:

td_api_base::mark_used_on_page : a component with the ID: thumbnail is not set.
/home/derbak2/finough.com/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_api.php

I’m not familiar with the path nor what its responding with. The code comes up behind the thumbnail image and right above the title specifically with block 27. Any advice on how to fix this would be great!

Hi Bogdan

I may have solved the problem by removing the script

<script async src=”//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js”></script>

above the ad link … there being other adsense banner on the page is not necessary to put it on every ad

in this way it seems that speedbooster is ok and speed site does not deteriorate…

yes i know…very strange but that’s how it seems

Thanks anyway

Hi,

This is strange indeed, You can try to add your custom ad shortcode in the single_template_2.php file here:
http://screencast.com/t/4zcCtQtx
If this still makes speedbooster stop working, maybe you could try another ad, like a simple image ad instead of adsense to see if there is any code related to the ad that creates this error.
I tested this on my end with the do_shortcode function both in the loop file or the single_template file, but there was no change in pagespeed and speedbooster worked as expected.

Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you for your kind words.

1) The featured image you upload for your posts needs to be at least the size of the biggest container it will display on. There is a list in our theme panel of thumbnail sizes here: http://screencast.com/t/uUNAZADLxua
Unfortunately there is no ideal featured image size. This is very subjective as different people use different layouts. There is also the post template to take into consideration. If you use a post template with a big featured image like post template 6, 7 or 8, then only a full hd image will display properly without quality loss.
You can read more about thumbs and featured images here:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-vs-featured-image-size/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/

2)Our theme does not support sticky posts as it will break the layout of the blocks. you can however filter specific posts in a block by using the post id filter in block settings: http://screencast.com/t/F1eIo8eY This way you can add specific posts to your block.

Hep this helps.
Thanks.

Hi Bogdan,

Also I think what you say, but really
if I delete the code for adsense,
delete the cache and still do the test with page speed
the problem is gone and Page Speed goes on…

very strange

there is no alternative to put adsense under the title?

thanks

Hello,
Our theme creates thumbnails for every image. They can be seen here: http://screencast.com/t/Gqa0c2vRjsjD
If you want to chose a featured image size, you need to have an image at least as big as the largest container the image will fit in. Basicaly, you must figure out where is the largest size your image will need to display and then you must upload the image at least as big as that container. Usually the biggest container is on the post themselves: http://screencast.com/t/vV9MmxC7

Hi Andrei,
thank you very much for your prompt reply and for you patience.
Now, I’ve better understood the 7 WPP post sorting behaviour, but still have a big doubt tha I try to explain better in the following. Since the moment I’ve enabled the visit counting display on posts, that is yesterday in the early morning, I’m monitoring the last 24h, 7days, 30days visits as well as what is shown on “MOST VIEWED” -“PIU’ VISTI” filter block on my home page. The results still continue to be incorrect. In fact, as one can expect, now the statistics of 24h, 7days and 30days are all aligned as you can see from here http://screencast.com/t/pVP8tbGpMd4, here http://screencast.com/t/Dx2BLPGVT, and here http://screencast.com/t/QPK69L6xKQ. As you stated in your last reply, now the first 4 posts in the 7 days WPP list should be the same of the 4 posts shown in the “MOST VIEWED” – “PIU’ VISTI” section on my home page: because the 1st and 2nd condition of your reply are now both satisfied.
But if I check opening the home page http://www.ntr24.tv/, I see this http://screencast.com/t/rI0JCOOHvym i.e. no one of the 4 most viewed -7days WPP- has been listed in the home page block!
And here comes another much more strange thing: if you go ahead clicking on paging controls of the filtering block in the home page and, right after, you click again backward, you will see the correct result as you can see here: http://screencast.com/t/XfD5OrSWM. Now the 7days WPP shown posts are correct even if you go forward and backward again by means of the block’s paging controls.
Moreover, even if the post list on the home is correct after the “unusual” forward/backward scrolling, the first 4 posts of 7 days WPP reported visits doesn’t match with the views counter of the related posts (the number near the eye icon on the post): please look here http://screencast.com/t/WwfJkAKjB and match with the 7 days WPP visits. Why?

Since I’ve enabled the “unique content” on site pages from theme panel, might have this a negative impact on the corretness of the 7 days WPP block filter behaviour?
If this is the case, I still don’t understand why results change scrolling forward and backward on block in the home page because, after all, the “unique content” still should have effect…
Thanks in advance of your pacience and kindness and looking forward to better understand about it.
Giuseppe

Hello fettbauch,

I have checked your website and I saw your strange errors to page 43. However, I suspect this odd issue to come from your untested plugins which you are using in the theme. Please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer, clear all cache and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins. It is possible that your plugins to interfere with our theme and creates this type of issue. Please try my advice and check after this your page 43 and check if your problem persists there.

Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
