and here is a screenshot of the issue: http://www.goproace.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1.png
Also, as you may see in the screenshot, the meta description text is appearing onto of the website logo.
Please advise thank you

Hi,
It seems the ad is coming from a raw html element and it is linking to a Facebook address – https://www.screencast.com/t/m0rnExCDBN Maybe this code is inserted directly in the theme single post and category files. You could take a look in the category.php file – https://www.screencast.com/t/gropsNLlY and the post single files – https://www.screencast.com/t/bVmbyjmzFR and check for any code in the structure. You could try disabling all the plugins except Visual composer, clear the cache and purge cdn files, maybe a plugin is causing this. If none of these suggestions work, you could make a fresh theme install with the latest version – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ install only the theme bundled plugins and this should solve this issue.
Thanks
Hello,
i updated WordPress to the latest version yesterday and began receiving the following error:
Warning: mysqli_escape_string() expects exactly 2 parameters, 1 given in /srv/users/serverpilot/apps/lavasea/public/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/functions.php on line 3
A few weeks ago, I had to add the code:
function mysql_escape_string($string){return mysqli_escape_string($string);}
to my theme because the entire site was down. I searched for a solution, and found that line of code, and it worked until yesterday.
I do not know much about PHP or MySQL. The theme is the current version, running 3.3.1 and WP version 4.7.3. I run three sites with this theme and this is the only one that has this error after the update.
Thanks
Daniel
Hello,
I figure out that my website was not secure anymore when I wanted to tweet a link and that the picture couldn’t show up. I updated my website. No change. What can I do ?
Thank you for your help !
Audrey
Close this topic since the 4.7.3 update of WordPress all are good (don’t know why)
Hi Bogdan,
unfortunately it’s still not working.
I have made some changes thanks to your hint above. However, that option didn’t work well so I used
one of the methods found here https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/35101
So I pasted this php code below to my child-theme function.php file and it seems to make my newly images point to the media link as you can see on the screenshot here https://1drv.ms/i/s!AkIZ0iKtBNnXmdlLTUt0Wu5r-E3hdg
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'default_attachment_display_settings' );
function default_attachment_display_settings() {
update_option( 'image_default_align', 'none' );
update_option( 'image_default_link_type', 'file' );
}
So I think there is a deeper issue I am having with Newspaper light box when enabled globally as I thought of in the first place.
Please have a look and let me know what else to try in order to get this working
Thank you
Hello,
Okay and the update instruction is also very clear, except it is mentioned that I should first deactivate and delete WPBakery Visual Composer plugin, before I upload the new one and activate it. Will it change my current layout page and do I have to remake the whole layout after update? Just to be sure, so I know what I am expecting when I update the plugin.
Thank you.
Thank you, Catalin. I do fully understand how the mobile theme works, and it works great. My question was only related to whether I could preserve any changes I make to the mobile theme’s functions.php file following a theme update. Because there is a function I have created that needs to appear in posts displayed using both the “normal: and the mobile theme, I need to add that function to the mobile theme’s functions.php file. I was hoping to be able to use my child theme’s functions.php for that so my changes would not be overwritten after an update but given your response, I will just make sure to keep a backup of /mobile/functions.php so I can restore my mods after a theme update. Thanks!
Hi,
After you downloaded – https://forum.tagdiv.com/whats-included/ and unpacked the theme package, you should have a directory with these files – https://www.screencast.com/t/wztJbGCPai You must upload the Newspaper.zip archive because this is the theme file. Here is a guide to help you install the theme – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ either through WordPress or by Ftp. Please note that we answer all the topics on the forum during the support hours, from oldest to newest.
Thank you for understanding!
Hello @gescaconsulting,
Please check your system status parameters to be according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ Also, if you do not use the latest version of the theme, try to update it via FTP and also, update the required plugins which come bundled with the theme packet.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
I have inspected some of your articles but I do not see any ad related problems – https://www.screencast.com/t/kBdRziEhjM1b – https://www.screencast.com/t/O9auVkQ6hJ in your post page. Maybe the compression plugin you are using is not fully compatible with the theme, this meaning unexpected results. If the problem reappears, you should try to disable all the plugins except Visual composer, clear the cache and purge cdn files. However you should consider updating the theme and the required plugins to the latest version – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thanks
Hello,
In order to figure out which plugin causes the error, simply remove all of them and clear all caching. Then run some tests. Visual composer and revolution slider are known for not having full php 7 compatibility but they are working on it as they have added compatibility in each of the previous versions, but unfortunately it is not a simple thing to make and you cannot add it all at once as you cannot know all of the situations that can show up and this is done over multiple updates. From the theme side, we already implemented full php 7.0 compatibility. I cannot provide any solution for the plugins however as we are not allowed to modify the plugins code as it breaks our license agreement.
Thank you!
Hello andrew40,
Please try to update the theme to the latest version of it via FTP way because this is the surest method in this regard, according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/ Clear all your caches, purge CDN files if you are using the CDN system and check the results. If the problem is still there after update, please provide your website URL so I can take a closer look at your website.
Thanks for the message!
Hello mattemkadia,
First of all, please ensure that you have made your theme installing via FTP way because this is the surest method in this regard, according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/ and here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ Also, if the problem is still there, please check your backend of your website and check the Big Grid to be in full row, with layout 1/1. Clear all your caches and check the results. You can provide your website.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
Please try to disable all the plugins except Visual composer, clear your cache and purge cdn files if used, then check again. If this does not fix the problem, you could do a fresh install with the latest version using the ftp method – https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/ and install only the recommended plugins that come with the theme. Also make sure you use the latest Visual composer – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thanks
Hello,
You should only use visual composer. Our new page builder is experimental and not a final version. We removed it because most people believed they should remove visual composer and only use our builder. This is not the case. Please use visual composer and update it using this step by step guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
The tagdiv composer is momentarily not available so you can only use visual composer.
Thank you!
Hi,
Is there any way I can remove a background image from a post? After creating several posts without problems (and without background images), the next post suddenly had a background image – even though I am using the same post template and all other settings remain the same.
How my posts are supposed to look (and how all others look): https://www.screencast.com/t/f4itIJkCSq36
How the new post looks: https://www.screencast.com/t/MWUGWCTxCV1n
I have tried creating the post several times now with different names and links, and it looks okay at first. However, in the final stages (adding categories, changing the author and uploading the featured image) the background image suddenly appears again. It even happens regardless if it is a new post I have created or if I update one of the example posts that came with the theme.
I even tried to delete the image, which appears in the background, from my media center and I deleted the cache too, but the image keeps appearing.
There is no image uploaded in the Theme Panel –> Background –> Site background. And I use the default post template, which does not have a background image. Additionally, when editing the post I do not see anything about a background image.
I am going out of my mind trying to find the cause of this and where to remove the image, but still no luck, so I hope you can help me 🙂
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Luise
Hi, I don’t know since when it happens but the title on my footer changed color to black. I didn’t change anything so far. Is it happened after the latest update? How do I change the color to white? Please advice.
The title I am referring to is the one on the bottom “About Me” and “Follow Me” on peekholidays.com
Thank you
Regards,
Tracy
Hi Catalin,
I tried to remove adsense, the drop in Page Speed is not dependent on what…
Perhaps it depends from the header 7?
…but I also saw that there are other users who are complaining for similar problems of the theme with the latest updates..
Thanks
Hello Michael001,
Do you update the latest theme version? If you have not do it you should do it now because in the latest version of the theme, was introduced the option to disable logging section. Please notice that since now, if you will have a log-in on your website and if you do not have the https you will see the no-secure message. You should have the https. For more references about this regard, you should read the following information posted by Google, like this -> http://www.pcworld.com/article/3118164/security/google-chrome-to-start-marking-http-connections-as-insecure.html So, if you do not have the https you should simply disable the login and the nonsecure message will disappear.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello Catalin, thanks for taking time to inspect the site. I am glad to let you know that I have already located the issue and solved the problem. http://mayapurvoice is back in green at 87 points and the result looks beautiful 🙂
My guess is, the Visual Composer plugin update that came with Newspaper 7.6.1 or earlier (after 7.5) caused the problem. I upgraded from 7.5 so it could be even earlier update of the plugin that I did not use. The reason I suggest this is, after trying so many different things finally the speed went up considerably only when I removed one VC element (Post grid with 4 posts showing some animation effects) from the page. This element was there since long when the page speed was in green. I suspect that something in the updated VC plugin might be causing the issue. As soon I removed that element my page speed went up. So I think it was not Newspaper theme but the upgraded version of VC plugin that had caused our page speed to drop. If you have some other insight I would like to know. I will also keep in mind what you suggested above. Thanks again.
Now… one more thing.
I strugled a little to add the Facebook Comments Moderation Tool.
Although he Facebook Developer guide for comments it’s sufficient and easy to follow it can be a litle tricky and can mislead your perception that moderation is not working. Here is hw I fixed to add Moderation Tool to my Facebook Comments Plugin. Here it is the documentation from facebook: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/comments/#moderation
First of all, you have to be in a point where you already see Facebook comments plugin on your page(s), okay? Only after you fix this is the time to step forward to add moderation on it.
1 – You have to make sure you Facebook App you’ve just created for your comments it is well setup. To make sure, go to you App Panel (https://developers.facebook.com/apps) open your app and make sure that a) it’s live/public under APP REVIEW section (right menu) and then that your configuration for your app is complete under Configuration (or Settings depending of your language). In this configuration section you have to make sure you have added a plataform for website / site. To add that you just click in Add new Plataform on the bottom of the page and select the option SITE. In the field that will open you put your URL for your blog for example: http://nicedomainname.com/blog. After you’ve done this you go to field up above named App Domains and inform the main domain name which is this case would be: nicedomainname.com and then you save your configurations. This all you have to do in your app before proceed.
2 – Then, you go to the moderation tool and do a little tunning on it. To access Facebook’s moderation tool you can use this link: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/comments. Make sure you select the app your are working on from the drop-box. Then you just need to click on Configuration (or Settings depending of your language) and do some adjustments on the options it shows. Observe that this is where you say to Facebook to mirror all comments from your blog from/to one of your FB’s pages (this option only works from the time you activate this and cannot be deactivated for a page after it is done, so choose it carefully although it is a nice feature). And for the last make sure you add all moderators under the moderators tab including yourself. (Note that you have to be friend of the person you want to add as moderator). You can explore all other options but basically in this area that’s all you need.
3 – Then you will need a little of programming again. But it is just a little. All you have to do is to add this litte piece of code within your <head> tag in your header.php file: <meta property=”fb:app_id” content=”YOUR APP ID” /> …. more specifically add this under this line <meta charset=”<?php bloginfo( ‘charset’ );?>” />. In the end your header could look like this (I’m using Newspaper so pay attention for any different. However the end result should looks similar):
<head>
<title><?php wp_title(‘|’, true, ‘right’); ?></title>
<meta charset=”<?php bloginfo( ‘charset’ );?>” />
<meta property=”fb:app_id” content=”YOUR APP ID” />
<meta name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0″>
<link rel=”pingback” href=”<?php bloginfo( ‘pingback_url’ ); ?>” />
<?php
wp_head(); /** we hook up in wp_booster @see td_wp_booster_functions::hook_wp_head */
?>
</head>
4 – Update your site, purge all caches and wait Facebook scrap recycling identify all changes which can take hours or days. And this is where I can say can be tricky and misleading. Because all you need to do are within the 3 steps above. However, if you try to immediatly see the moderation tool gets activated that will not attend your expectations because facebook is slow to identify all changes. BUT, and this is a nice thing, you can FORCE facebook to extract your pages and identify the brand new tag you’ve just inserted on your header.
All you need to do is to go to debug page and force this. The link is this: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/sharing. Paste your URL with the facebook plugin and check if facebook can read your app id. In most cases the last time facebook extrated your page could be days before. Than you have this button “Extract again” that will force Facebook system to read again your page. Check if now your metatags are correct and if you app id shows up in fb:app_id field. If it shows up you can now reload your page and see the option “Moderation Tool” in the Comment box: Like this https://scontent-gru2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.2365-6/12448449_1702676243339764_782736789_n.png?oh=15556d00a727244cb75e95a9033048ad&oe=592F427A . If you don see anything yet or your App Id is not showing up after you have added to your header, check if you have paste the code correctly, if your App ID is correct, if your App is Public already or if you have updated your site (update a page for example) and if you have purged all caches. It has to be quite straight forward to implement this.
If you’ve done all right you will start seeing comments getting to be reviewed or in “public” area of Facebook moderation tool.
After I updated from 7.5 to 7.7 the main content of the Website Needs at least up to 10 seconds to load, except the header. I have no idea what exactly the Iroblem is.
I absolutely had no performance Problems under 7.5 and the Website is hosted on a superb fast dedicated wordpress SSD server.
Best rgds
