A number of problems with the new update 9.6

Hi,
Again thanks for all the efforts, but you need to keep in mind that most of the sites that use Newspaper theme are actually news and media sites. They have ever-changing content on the home page and you need to test out a better cache plugin compatibility. Wp fastest cache has become old and mundane.
Issues we are facing:
1) We were using Speed Ninja plugin with 9.5 theme, and it was giving us great results in GTmetrix and google speed index. However, with the new 9,6 update, there are compatibility issues on the mobile. The front page only loads and articles do not load or if they load the style sheet is missing and everything looks like plain HTML. Can you please check its compatibility or tell us which other plugins we can use to get back to 90+ level on Google speed index, because we tried your tutorials and super cache, and nothing is working. We have right now disabled the SNP plugin. So that site works at least.
2) With the new amp plugin we are getting over 400 errors in the very first few hours of updating, none of the new articles are showing as AMP.
3) The 3 bar menu from amp is missing.
4) There is no infinite loading on the mobile theme. Since many come from mobile only, we were hoping it will come this time. When can we expect that?
5) How can we minify CSS and javasript? Since WP fastest cache does not do that.
6) The URL is not changing on autoload on the desktop. As soon as we go down to the next story, the article loads but the url does not change. The GA team tells us we are not getting additional page views because of that.
7) We have loaded the AMP code as the tutorial suggests, however we are not seeing any amp views on GA.

Please help.

Hi,

1)Unfortunately, the theme has not been tested with the Speed Ninja plugin and also, we have bad or good reports regarding this, sorry! Please notice that we cannot provide support for untested plugins and being an untested one, we cannot recommend using it, sorry!
2)Give more details about how you test this more, provide more details/screenshot and examples so I can identify it closer to this error. For more testing about AMP functionality, please use the following online tool from here -> https://search.google.com/test/amp
3)Did you have enabled the Mobile Theme plugin from the Theme panel? The hamburger menu should be there. Look this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/QkFp8H4rH3i
4)Unfortunately, the Infinite loading is not valid for Mobile Theme, sorry!
5)You need to use some online tool for that minification from here -> https://closure-compiler.appspot.com/home
6)I have tested this functionality and the URL is changing when scrolling down. Please provide oyur website URL so I can take a closer look at it.
7)Unfortunately, the Page Views counts for AMP are not working but if you will set up your GA AMP code for page view, you will see them. -> https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6343176?hl=en

Thanks for oyur understanding!

Hi Catalin, Thanks for taking out time.
1) Any other good plugin you guys have tested? Like Wp-rocket? Since WP super cache is outdated and is not recommended by many.
2) Please check the screenshot, in the first two days we have over 1,200 amp problems reported.
https://prnt.sc/mx7gj3
Because of this none of the articles are being served as amp pages on google –
https://prnt.sc/mx7lwd
Getting same error for all articles when testing its amp compatibility.
2B) getting this amp error in over 300 pages
https://prnt.sc/mx7ri3
3)Yes the mobile theme is enabled, but still there is no hamburger menu, now because of amp errors we are not able to see amp pages, otherwise would have sent you a screenshot.
4) IMO it is the most important part of the mobile theme, please bring it in the next update 🙂
6) Our website is http://www.gagdetbtidge.com
7) Let me elaborate on this one. Like we see how many users/unique users come from mobile or desktop in GA. Is there a way to see how many come from mobile AMP, since that is now showing in our GA.

Regards

Hi,

1. Actually WP Super cache is rated quite good in reviews – https://www.isitwp.com/best-wordpress-caching-plugins-compared/
https://kinsta.com/blog/wordpress-caching-plugins/
While it may not be the best solution there is, it still is in the top caching plugins. AS far as I know this is the only caching plugin that works with the mobile theme properly. Maybe others do as well if configured in a right way, but I can’t say which one and what configuration unfortunately.

2. I tested a post from your website with both AMP validator and test
http://prntscr.com/mxn9hlhttp://prntscr.com/mxn9k5
http://prntscr.com/mxnakdhttp://prntscr.com/mxnanm
http://prntscr.com/mxnc62http://prntscr.com/mxnc8b
AMP is valid in the posts from what I can see. That message in the console seems to say something about a script. Are you sure it is a script loaded by the theme? What exactly is this script if it’s possible to find out?

This https://prnt.sc/mx7lwd is related to AMP auto ads, how exactly are you implementing the ads? Should be like this – http://prntscr.com/mxnext

That tag meta name=”viewport” is loaded by the AMP plugin in the head, only once
http://prntscr.com/mxngvh
Where exactly does it appear twice?

3. The menu icon appears and works just fine at the moment – http://prntscr.com/mxngvh
Let me know if I should check somewhere more specific.

4. I can’t say if this will be implemented at the moment, or if it is possible to do with the mobile theme. It is noted as a request and will be strongly considered.

6. This works in our tests and I haven’t seen similar topics about it. Maybe this is a specific situation where it does not work. If you want us to investigate provide admin login as well as cPanel if possible at contact@tagdiv.com.

7. Maybe it takes a while. I will add this for testing to check if it works as it should.

Thanks

Thanks as always, The amp related errors are somewhat sorted and are being validated in Webmaster tools, we will know after the submission is complete and dealt with, will let you know.

The script we loaded was accidentally put from the normal auto ads and not amp auto ads. We did that this morning and it subsided the script error. That is on us, apologies.

a)The hamburger icon on the home page of mobile is not working, strangely on article pages on mobile it is working.
4) Thanks, appreciate it.
6) ok, sure will mail.
7) once you do please let us know.

The issue with the menu that you mention is under investigation. Seems that on some pages AMP is not loading properly, while on other pages it does. While there is no apparent difference between these pages something is causing the problem.

For example here it does not work and AMP is not loading for this page
https://www.gadgetbridge.com/about/ while in this other page it loads and works
https://www.gadgetbridge.com/privacy-policy/

We have requested admin and cPanel from a few users, so we can try and identify why is this happening as soon as possible. We are very sorry for the inconvenience.

4)Unfortunately, the Infinite loading is not valid for Mobile Theme, sorry!

Will be available some times soon? And regarding mobile version without using mobile theme, when it will be possible to select which elements of the post should be loaded or not on mobile?
And when it will be possible to creat a different homepage block system that is different from desktop version?

Thanks

Hello !

The Mobile theme was specially designed for optimization on mobile devices. Unfortunately on mobile theme you cannot do much changes of design. If you want to have the same design as on desktop mode you can achieve that by simply disabling the mobile theme.

You will have to recreate your pages into the Mobile editor or completely disable the mobile theme. The mobile editor will not render shortcodes !

Also you can disable mobile theme on certain pages or posts by following this setting:

Please take a look here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/

Mobile theme plugin can be disabled from Newspaper Plugins as you can see here: https://www.screencast.com/t/LnkZCEVC

Thank you !

Hello Vlad.

The question is if the Mobile Theme that you developed, which is very good, will be upgraded sometime soon. The infinite load for mobile user (which are 80% ) on my site is a good feature that i would love to have on the mobile theme, and I think many user of newsparer are thinking the same.

I’ve now disabled mobile theme on my site, but if you read the post in mobile, the grafics are strange, and the font is way to small for a mobile phone reader. Please take this all as suggestion for the new version of the theme. here it’s an exaple, please read it from your phone https://www.rnbjunk.com/mtv-vma-2020-nominations-performers/

Thank you for your hearing and patience.

Fabian

Hello !

You can do some changes on mobile theme. Please go into Theme Panel – Mobile Theme and you will be able to see that you can edit Theme fonts / Theme Colors.

At the moment there are no plans to add more customizing options to the Newspaper mobile theme.

Thank you !
