Hi

Where can I find a list of new changes in Newspaper 7.6? Looked around and within first 10 minutes I did not figure out it yet. When I click details via Envato Market plugin it sends me to https://themeforest.net/user/tagdiv/portfolio?TB_iframe=true&width=640&height=662 but nothing there also did not found it from the forum and other pages. Did I miss something somewhere?

NB! Used Envato plugin to upgrade Newspaper theme (looks like it was not a good idea) and it still upgrading it, over 30minutes, So I cancelled it and upgraded it another way within few seconds. Has someone tried Envato Market plugin before?

Version 7.6 – December 20th, 2016

    misc: Visual Composer plugin updated to the latest version 5.0.1
    misc: Revolution Slider plugin updated to the latest version
    misc: full compatibility with WordPress 4.7
    new: DEMO – Beauty blog – a fresh and simple blog demo. Easy to use and beautifully designed
    new: The Plugin Page from where a user installs the included plugins was completely redesigned to be more user friendly.
    new: added support for block templates overwritten via the Theme API system in demos. All future demos can now load different block templates if needed.
    new: the comment form is now validated with javascript. This was a long requested feature and we are very happy how it turned out.
    misc: css fixes in the theme panel and the welcome screen
    misc: we finally updated the social icons and we also removed the icons for dead services (picasa, Posterous etc)
    misc: the Social Networks panel now checks each input to be correct, this prevents user error and bad URL’s that supposed to go to social networks profiles but instead go to 404 pages on the site
    misc: we removed the max-width from srcset on images and the responsive images on mobile now work as expected
    misc: translation panel information text
    misc: on android, when a user uses the mobile search, it will autofocus on the input field now
    fix: password protected comments now work as expected
    fix: facebook videos that are in the content of the post now work and resize as expected
    fix: font panel css issues
    fix: the tag ajax filter now displays the tags in the order of the id’s the user selects. Before it was alphabetically
    fix: home breadcrumb does not appear as structured data as required by the google metadata testing tool
    fix: smartlists that had image captions with HTML where broken. Now we fixed them.
    fix: category sorting options was not working sometimes.

I have not switched breadcrumbs back ON, but other data like POST TOPIC, AUTHOR, DATE and COMMENTS count is still included facebook post description.

Hello,

Please use SEO yoast (wordpress seo) as it provides the needed controls for facebook sharing including the og image: https://forum.tagdiv.com/facebook-share/
As for the social icons, please add the full path to the social network like so: https://www.facebook.com/nike

Thank you!

Never had any problems with Facebook sharing with any other themes before. Default themes and Valenti showed that info by default as it should be. Anyway I activated SEO Yoast back ON, and yeah it removed unnecessary information from post description.

Not all themes behave the same unfortunately. Each one has it;s own code and features. In our case seo yoast is needed for the proper facebook info.

Thanks
