Presuming you made the setting in your Google Search Console to tell Google that www is preferred version?
Also, from my prior answer to your question on this (heavy sigh) … did you add the explicit version of your prefereed URL to your wp-config.php file?
If you do, then WP will do the redirect automatically since that will be part of its internal rewriting engine and then you would not need the 301 redirect.
Also, do search/replace in your dbase for all images linked without the www to add the www, update any custom menus, etc.
Last reply on this topic from me. You seem to keep reposting things vs updating your original thread. So, “I’m out” on support for this topic. Good luck!
For tech heads … by massively hacked … we are
– changing wp-content to /assets/
– changing author slug to profile
– removing /category/ slug
– hacked theme name and dependencies to our local branding
– local loading vs CDN of font awesome and jquery for optimzation/opcache in prep for https/2 update to server
– highly compressed html, js, css
– highly optimized wp-config.php file
– if single/ head removal of js/css only intended for home page
– locked down php disabling in core WP folders for security
– complete removal of all comment code
– complete removal of all XML-RPC code
– complete rewrite of local default search to load from paid Google Search Engine (GSE), including from URL search string and default WP search box
– local loading of author/client avatar, captured from gravatar but hosted locally and cached
– custom “more posts from author” function and placement
– custom breadcrumbs since our CMS is in sub-dir, main static site one level up for actual ‘home’
– custom author box to print as plug into after post meta to appear on AMP version of page including link to author/client site and top four socials (rel=nofollow and target blank)
– custom data fields with ACF5 Pro
– custom hook to our YOURLS install to pull in custom shortcode, drop into post meta, for sharing
– custom local functions, CSS, for social sharing buttons that grab YOURLS shortcode
– (and like etcetera)
so, you think you’re confused ? Welcome to my brain right now ! đ
WordPress does this with some updates of themes and the full WP upgrade if your “transients” are cleared at same time. Not a theme issue, as the them does not control the WP > settings > widgets.
It’s been an issue with WP since it was launched.
If you change themes, the widgets get reset — at least the added a moved to ‘deactivated’ section, so sometimes you can just move them back.
NORMALLY, on a live install where transients are stored, simply updating your WP version will *not* lose widget settings.
Broken pagination was a bug in WordPress no the theme — which was fixed in WP 4.4.2
Good to keep eye on WP updates as they often list fixes, severe security updates, etc. WP 4.4.1 introduced the pagination bug, not the theme. (4.4.1 is NOT a secure version.)
REF
https://codex.wordpress.org/Version_4.4.2
—
Summary
From the announcement post, WordPress versions 4.4.1 and earlier are affected by two security issues: a possible SSRF for certain local URIs, reported by Ronni Skansing; and an open redirection attack, reported by Shailesh Suthar.
#36435 HTTP: 0.1.2.3 is not a valid IP.
#36444 Better validation of the URL used in HTTP redirects.
In addition to the security issues above, WordPress 4.4.2 fixes 17 bugs from 4.4 and 4.4.1
Hi Support Team,
I have a local dev with WP 4.4.1 and NewsMag 2.2, with some customization.
I tried an update on NewsMag 2.3.5 on a new local site. (main reason is the broken pagination).
After doing the db import all widgets are empty.
All widgets are sitting in the “deactivated” area and I can manually put them on their places.
Hard enough, but adding new widgets in widget areas is tricky. Adding any widget into a widget area closes the widget, I have to reload the page to get the widgets open again.
I tried WP 4.4 and WP 4.4.2 on another local machine same result.
Please let me know what to do, to make this working as usual.
Thanks.
Hi,
is there any update on this? It would be soooo great, if Newsmag works properly with WPTouch.
There was a bug in last version of WordPress which broke page numbers, unrelated to any theme.
If you have not updated your version of WordPress to the latest version, that might be good first step and then clear all site caching / CDN content cache after update of WP.
Might not be your issue, but is is *the* problem that prior version of WP introduced, and was fixed a month later with the current version of WP.
Hi, I didnt made any back up because requires so much time. However I made the update and created another child theme. Everything looks ok for me. Can you take a look: http://www.storypickers.com
I really would appreciate it đ
Hello,
On the latest version of firefox I could not see any issues http://screencast.com/t/F7LeVwplEQS0 neither could I find any errors on safari 9. Unfortunately I’m not sure the theme will even work properly on safari 5 as it is a very old version. I can’t provide a precise answer as none of us tested the theme on old versions of safari. Sorry. Please let your client know that the theme could not be compatible with such an old version of the browser and we recommend he updates safari to the latest version so he can benefit from the theme features.
Thank you!
Hi
Unfortunately time does not allow us to provide any customization services. We can offer support for anything related with the theme, help uses understand how its features works or fix any bugs related with the theme. Designing your website it’s a task which falls beyond the support can offer you at the moment. We would have gladly made it for you but we are a small team and we are working very hard on the development, updates, fixes and support.
We did try to make the theme as user friendly as possible and also for any details about its features you can read our documentation or ask here how a specific feature works.
For example if you want to change the videos displayed in your playlist just edit the page and in Visual Composer locate the playlist block and change the videos ids: http://screencast.com/t/azJNT21kw7MJ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-video-playlist/
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hello,
Do you have any custom modifications done maybe? Please try to update your theme to the latest version and check again. If the problem is still there then please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can inspect the issue.
Thank you!
Hi
Thanks for reporting this. I’ve made some testes on mi side and seems that the theme display in authors box every registered user without checking if have or not an author role. We will change this implementation in next theme update.
Thanks for your message!
Hello,
The problem is not from the update, but caused by the cdn server. It is because of the fonts. Please read this topic to see how this can be fixed. https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/strange-chinese-symbols-replaced-icons-and-arrows/
Thank you!
UPDATE:
I figured out the display problem — I think.
The image file name had a spanish character in it “RodriÌguez” not sure if you can see it over the “i”.
I removed that and now is displaying on mobile again. Interesting!
But still getting HTTP error when uploading image.
Thanks!

Hi,
Do not delete your child theme before making a back-up or you will lose all your modifications. Like I said above, the child theme needs to be replaced only if the files you have in the child theme are on the list here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/updated-files-from-6-6-4-to-6-6-5/ If they are, then only those files(the ones on the list) need to be replaced in the child theme.
Thank you!
Hi
Try the solution indicated in this topic to fix the pagination issue for hompage: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/wordpress-4-4-1-pagination-new-fix/ but I cannot guarantee that will work as we didn’t test it with V 1.7 of the theme.
Also try to use this code in td_wp_booster_functions.php file: http://screencast.com/t/T1qCb2vBRX8
if(empty($query->is_feed)) {
if ( $paged > 1) {
$query->set( ‘offset’, intval($offset) + ( ( $paged – 1 ) * $limit ) );
} else {
$query->set( ‘offset’, intval($offset) );
}
}
This should fix the issue with the pagination on category page. If this does not work then the only solution is to update the theme at the current version available on themeforest, V2.3.5.
If you make any customizations in theme’s files it’s a good practice to keep track on them such that you can add them again after theme it’s updated. You can save your custom code in a text file on your computer then re-add it again in theme’s files but make sure it does not affect the new theme implementation. Also you can use the child theme provided with the theme to make some customizations, just make sure that the modified files can be overwritten in it. For more details about its usage with Newsmag theme check our documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-child-theme-support/ also WordPress’s documentation could help: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
Thanks!
I’m assuming you’ve done all the normal stuff like updating the wp-config.php file, htaccess file, resave permalinks, import dbase, etc.
Well, one of the most robust and popular tools, although a little bit of learning curve also …
meaning, if you can’t manage to do FTP, then this won’t likely help …
but the plugin DUPLICATOR allows you to fully move a site and dbase from one place to another to “deploy” it or move to new server, or even change domain name.
So, if you have your local site setup as /1.2.3.4/test/site and are moving to /mysite.ooo — it can even help with that by rewriting the site URL to actual with proper serialized dbase rewrites.
Or — hire a developer who knows how to do this stuff đ
(sorry not better answer)
it’s actually easier – in future – to setup your test site on a WORKING domain by using sub-directory like /futuresite/ then when ready update the config file to be /root/ on the same domain.
Not wise to build it locally, if you don’t already know how to migrate a site the way you’re attempting.
Nobody else having this problem I am aware of. Not theme related.
Did you
a) try turning off plugins except VC to determine a bad plugin?
b) did you scan your site with SECURI? – https://sitecheck.sucuri.net// — it found no issues when I just checked.
c) did you check your Google webmaster tools account for alerts about issues? If Google not having an issue, likely a non issue.
d) note some SEO testing tools online are worthless
When I just checked one of your posts you have a popup that floats over page asking to login with Facebook ? That sure isn’t normal (fanbox popup).
Possibly Wordfence code conflict ?
Possible bug in disqus ?
=====
You didn’t need to create new post, you could simply update the original thread.
Upshot – not a theme issue; but issue with something YOU have added to site on top of theme.
When I made some tests on some online tools like these:
1) http://isithacked.com/
2)http://www.webconfs.com/
3) http://www.seotools.com/
Screenshot: http://www.screencast.com/t/HfSKeYOR6v7
it tells me that my site it has cloaking, that means that web crawlers see some stuff that visitors cant see. And this is a big problem because I could be penalized from search engines.
P.S: I posted this topics some days ago, and some guys told me I should update theme, clear cache, update plugins etc… However, I just update my theme from 6.4 to 6.5 and this issue is still.
Waiting for a solution!
Hello. I just update the newspaper theme from 6.4 to 6.5.
Everything are almost okay but I have another issue.
The problem is a bit weird. Because everything seems to be okay and I cant provide a screenshot. The problems is when you are at a page/post reading something and when you want to scroll down with your mouse or scroll up it goes very fast, not like normally. I hope you understand what I mean. My website is this: http://www.storypickers.com
You can take a look! Waiting for your reply.
Hello, I just updated my newspaper theme from 6.4 to 6.5
I have this issue:
Sometimes, my categories, some icons and other stuff are like this:
http://www.screencast.com/t/2yEyLPJwEJlp
So after the end, is a box icon where it should be not that? Any solution?
P.S: All plugins are updated and cache is cleared.
Hello. I just update newspaper theme from 6.4 to 6.5
Everything is almost ok but I can’t upload my new child theme. I created the necessary files and put them into a .zip file. After I upload them it tell me that:
– The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the index.php file.
This is not my first time I created a child theme, what I’m doing wrong?
All the best!
Yeay ! congrats !! first thing first, your theme is great, your support is more than good. The best purchased i ever had. Thanks tagDiv ! Can’t hardly wait for the next update. And your next project ! All the best tagDiv !
Upshot, some “SEO testing tools” are total B.S. and are often scams to sell you a subscription to their “scanning service” or somesuch, or have not been updated for modern HTML5, Boostrap, JSON, etc. and so “get confused.”
That means that I have to delete newspaper theme, and child theme before the update. And after update I need to create a new child theme, and then to keep activated the child theme not newspaper theme?
Hello,
I figured out that it was the Nelio External Featured Image plugin update that did it. If I deactivate Nelio plugin, I get my home page back. It wasn’t working right with Newspaper theme anyway.
That said, I do need a way to automatically pull the first external image as the featured image. The plugins that do this (Nelio External Featured Image and WP Autoset Featured Image Plus) do not work properly with Newspaper, because the featured image isn’t being called in the usual way using (get_)the_post_thumbnail for printing the img tag. I’m using Embedly for most of my content, and need to use external featured images. Do you have another method for me to automatically use the external image as the featured image since the typical plugins for this don’t work with Newspaper theme?
Thanks in advance.
Rachel
