Is it possible to remove the Article markup data or have it switched? Here are the results that are being pulled from Google’s testing tool here.
It is saying that the image, datePublished, headline, publisher, dateModified and mainEntityOfPage aren’t being pulled correctly.
Hi,
if you test one of our posts from the demo: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ you will see that no errors are being returns, so there is something on your end that is causing them The structure data tests all elements so if you removed the post author or date published or other elements, the test will detect that they are missing from your post and are required. Enable them from the theme panel and these errors will go away.
Also try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. Then test again and compare the results.
Thank you!
Hi Bogdan,
I appreciate the response. I just checked and noticed I have an older version of the theme on my website. Is it possible to update the theme, but not lose all of my aesthetics? I read an older post and it looks like the new theme works more specifically for the new Schema rules.
Thanks,
Hi Bogdan,
On my dev site, I disabled all plugins an still got the error on https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool#url=http%3A%2F%2Fedmsauce.staging.wpengine.com%2F2016%2F05%2F18%2Fmalaa-maximono-arsenic%2F. I’m thinking it is the theme.
Any recommendations?
Sorry for the countless emails on the thread. So on my dev site, I uploaded the new theme and did the test again and noticed all of the errors but one were fixed. Is there an easy way to update the Theme without deleting all of my customization?
Hi,
Unfortunately there is no update proof method of adding custom code. If you altered the theme files, you will need to back-up your modification and re-apply it after the update. In order to update, please use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and also make sure you update visual composer and social counter by following this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thank you!
Hi Bogdan,
That’s what I was afraid of. Any idea if it’s possible to just update the .php files that are relevant to the Schema in particular or is it all or nothing?
Thank you
Hi,
Unfortunately this will provide mixed results as files depend one on the other in most cases. If one is changed and it requires another code that was changed in another file, breaking the link will cause the whole site to collapse. It’s like a house of cards. Remove one card and the whole thing falls.
Thank you!
It looks like the new update has much larger images on single posts. Is there any way to reduce the sizes?

Hi,
Quite a few things have changed since newspaper 4. If you want to reduce the height of the image you can use a bit of css like so:
@media(min-width:1018px){
.single_template_3 .td-post-featured-image{
transform: translateY(-70px);
height:483px
}}
You can add the code in the theme panel->custom css box
Thank you!
You guys have the best customer service. Thank you for everything!
Are there other threads or information on how to turn certain things back to Newspaper 4?
Hi,
There are a few threads on the subject especially for updating from newspaper 4 to newspaper 6 as that was the major change. (there was no newspaper 5 as 6) you can do a search through the forum on specific subjects and you will find lots of topics on updating from version 4
Thank you!
