My site is not yet https:// and Google is currently sending out warnings to sites who ask for passwords. I do not allow anyone to register or post on my site and I have disabled the login modal so it doesn’t show on the front end. But, Google is still reading the login code on the back end and thinking I am asking for passwords on my site. How do I eliminate this code all together so Google doesn’t think I am asking for information that will require SSL.
Thanks.
Yeah, this is a big issue. Several people in the Google product forums have Newspaper installed and are getting the same warning email from Google.
Problem is the theme is hiding the password field from view when it should just remove that section from the templates.
It’s going to have to be fixed.
I am getting the same issue. Hoping for a fix asap as this is crucial. Thanks
I commented the following codes and the mention of “password” in the source code does seem to be disappeared:

Not sure if that will be sufficient for Google. Waiting for an official reply from tagdiv too.
Thanx
No, that’s not how Google sees your page.
Control U on the page and find “password” or put the url in here and you will see the password fields http://www.browseo.net/
Hello!
Is it going to be fixed with the new theme update?
Thanks

Thanks

Thank you!
I received the email too: soon my site will have penalty because it requires data and is not https … what can we do?
Deleting or commenting the code worked for me. I deleted mmostly.
Can someone spell out (for dummies) – in writing (so we can copy and paste) how to comment out all code that Google has issues with? Thanks.
You should google how to comment code in php. Then use the commenting syntax to comment out the code as mentioned above
Thank you!
Can someone spell out (for dummies) – in writing (so we can copy and paste) how to comment out all code that Google has issues with? This is specific to the Newspaper theme and should be answered here – like the way “support” is supposed to work. Thanks.
Hi,
Sorry for the inconvenience. We are still investigating the matter and we will make the proper adjustment as soon as possible.
Commenting the code in the screenshots I showed above can be a possible fix but it is not an official fix. I reference above the files where the login modal is being called but we have not found a proper solution for the moment. When we do , we will gladly share it with the community.
We do not want to offer untested solutions as they can do more harm than good. We will have to run a few tests before we can provide the proper solution. I posted the files above for experienced users to see where the login is being called until we figure out the issue and provide the proper solution.
Thank you for your understanding.
If you were faced losing 100% of your income, what would you do? Switch off Newspaper theme ASAP? How would you feel about your answer with 1) no solutions, 2) no sense of urgency and 3) no proposed date of a solution?
What do you suggest for those who may lose ALL their income in the next few days??????????????????????
Hi all,
we are investigating this issue and we will fix it by tomorrow.
Thank you. Seems to have worked great. The update also fixed a bunch of Visual Composer issues that went wonky in the December update. Thanks very much!
