Thank you Bogdan, for replying.
In the mean time I found the custom css that you described here http://screencast.com/t/wPjTlcbdt.
I’ve removed it and now it’s fixed.
Thanks for all your help.
I’ve tried both solutions, no luck.
It has the same behavior as Thisguyhere described.
It happens only on homepage, and initially it’s displayed centered for a split of a second and then floats left.
I’ve tried to look also for the solution you gave him but I don’t find that code.
Can you please help?
Can you please guide me?

Hi,
I’ve tried to reinstall the Classic Blog demo but probably I didn’t do it correctly.
I did uninstall it first, then install it. Everything was don from within WordPress, Newspaper – Install demos.
After reinstall was showing me the default view of Newspaper without a theme.
I had to revert my site to a previously database and files.
What I did wrong? How should I do it?
Is there other way to fix this without reinstalling the Classic Blog demo?
Hi,
I’ve tried to remove it by adding this code to the functions.php file of the theme.
function dequeue_devicepx() {
wp_dequeue_script( ‘devicepx’ );
}
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘dequeue_devicepx’, 20 );
It didn’t worked.
If I install the blog demo again do I loose my settings?
@ChrisS This attitude doesn’t help and I hope the developers doesn’t have the same one. I’m paying for a product that should work with most common plugins.
I’m a software tester for the last 15 years. When I’m upgrading a product from one version to another (Newspaper 6.5 to 6.6.4) without adding other settings or other software(in our case plugins) I shouldn’t loose any functionality and things should work the same. If that is not the case it should be put in the release notes in order for people to know there is an issue.
In my case: I didn’t change anything to the site. Not a single change in settings. Then I’ve upgraded and I started to get issues. This is a problem, a software defect.
@BogdanB If my feedback it’s not wanted please let me know. I thought you might want to know the issues in order to fix it.
Belive me when I’m saying this is an issue. It’s not normal to loose functionality over an upgrade.
Until this is fixed I will disable this feature and I hope the developer will announce the community it is an issue and get it fixed.
@ChrisB We did blocked Ukraine bots long time ago. A more positive approach it’s better appreciated by the clients. Getting in defense mode it’s not what users appreciate.

@BogdanB I did all you said less disabling all plugins. I can’t disable all the plugins because this is a live site and will impact the site for too long time.
I can provide you with wp-admin access if you want. Maybe this way you will understand what I’m trying to explain.
Maybe during the upgrade I did something wrong, even if I followed the steps from Newspaper documentation.
@ChrisS. The fact that there are 2 of us that have this issue should rise a flag. I’m 100% sure there is an issue or a change of code that produce the 80% drop in views. And what I’m saying is not related to Facebook.
I agree that the best way to measure is at the server level.
But if I want to display the views and the actual users are seeing a drop of 80% in views … well for me it’s a big issue. Because they will think the site is not popular anymore and I guess you know and understand what this means.

I want to add to the above post that also the statistics from Jetpack it’s showing much more views than the one reported by Newspaper.
I did follow the steps. Enable the Ajax option and then cleared the cache.
If I’m going manually it’s updating the views and I can see the number increase.
Yet I still think that there is an issue here as the views are still lower.
Even more there is that gap between the Facebook clicks and post views.
On Facebook I can see on my post how many times users clicked on post which is redirecting to the post site.
That number is higher that the post views reported in WordPress.
I will check manually and also let it run for 1-2 days and I will get back with a feedback.

Thank you for your answer Bogdan.
This is not about the FB likes.
What I’m saying here is that if for example an user comes from a Facebook post directly to the post in the Newspaper theme, the view post it’s not counted at first. Then if you hit refresh it will increment the views count.
The same thing it happens if you enter the site, go to the post. You have to hit refresh to increment.
I have the same problem.
After upgrading to the latest version of Newspaper my page views severely gone down at the same rate like Mucha K (80%).
I think somehow it doesn’t count correctly.
I have a lot of post click on FB and the page views are way down.
Can anyone help us in fixing this?
There must be an issue as it happens to both of us.
Hi Bogdan,
Thank you very much for helping.
It was Google Captcha (reCAPTCHA) by BestWebSoft plugin that was breaking everything.
Now it’s working very good.
Hello Bogdan,
I’ve tried also with TagDiv Speedbooster and I got worse results.
Besides breaking My Favorites widget, images from articles does not appear.
Here it’s the screenshot http://postimg.org/image/slf3dokrz/
Thank you for helping
I’m sorry to insist but when using Async my site it’s blazing fast and I can’t use it because it breaks My FAVORITES widget.
Can anyone please give me at least a hint on how can I fix it?

Great tips Steven and Chris.
I’ve installed Async, page is loading fast after defering Javascript, but this plugin and defering of Javascrit is breaking MY FAVORITES widget from the sidebar.
I’m using Newspaper 6.5 with Classic Blog theme.
Anyway to fix it?
Just to correct this. I see my activity and that I like a post on my personal page.
What I want to do is to link the WordPress posts with the Facebook posts through the Facebook App ID (or any other solution).
When I click the like in the Newspaper post, I want that like to appear on the post from the Facebook page that I did publish with NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster.
How can I do this? If there is a way.
Thank you for the info.
I think it’s something from my settings.
When I do like a post(using my personal Facebook account) it doesn’t show on my Facebook activity that I’ve liked a post and neither it doesn’t show on the individual post that me I did like that post.
Where can I find more info on how to set this for Newspaper 6.5?
I saw there is a Social settings menu on Newspaper admin page but I didn’t found if there is a place where I can add an Facebook App ID or a way to link them.
My likes or other people likes doesn’t show on the Facebook page and their names there.
