Hello @dariosipos , the following lines are the error:

.td-menu-background,
.td-search-background {
background-image: url('http://digitalfuturetimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/14.jpg');
}
.white-popup-block:before {
background-image: url('http://digitalfuturetimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/14.jpg');
}

To fix them, you will have to replace the http image version with the https version of image. To do it, simply upload the specified image again- http://digitalfuturetimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/14.jpg. And replace it in theme panel>Background. Let me know if it fixes it.

Yeah @ryansmccain , agreed upon that. SumoMe does slows down, but the tweaks i have done still compensate for it. I might remove it sooner or later, just trying to figure out some alternatives.

Great guide @snaxzer . Added these values, although i think there’s much that can be added to cache expiration.

Hello @dhapenk , the process limit is hitting because of the search bar present in the newspaper theme. I had have been that issue too, i solved it using heartbeat plugin which removed a lot of load from my hosting panel. Apart from that, use Wp-Optimize to make more space in database. Hope it helps. Do check out my Wp Speedify Guide.

Heartbeat plugin- https://wordpress.org/plugins/heartbeat-control/
Wp-Optimize- https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-optimize/

That is probably due to server caching. Try clearing it.

Thanks @ryansmccain , that will add to the list. Apart from that, i’m also using SumoMe. Not too many apps, just a pop-up for Facebook page likes and a sharer since sumome has super analytic for shares.

Hi @dariosipos , you can get the plugin here: Sem External Links. Following are my settings for it:

Just make sure to add your facebook.com, twitter.com, etc. to add to exclude list to nofollow.

Thanks a ton @simion . I was finally able to code the redirect after a lot of hit and trials. The following code has functionality to redirect users trying to access only bbPress Pages to Wp-Login page, and once they login using id or social profile, they will be redirected to the page they were trying to access.

Note: Make sure to paste the below code to Theme Functions.php , both main and mobile functions.php to make it work on desktop and mobile devices.

/**
* Redirect bbPress pages to registration page
*/
function redirect_login_page() {
$refer=urlencode($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);
$isItExt = strpos(strtok($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"],'?'), 'external');
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() && is_bbpress()) {
wp_redirect( 'https://medicforyou.in/wp-login.php' . '?redirect_to=' . $refer );
exit();
}
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'redirect_login_page' );

function redirect_after_login() {
global $redirect_to;
if (!isset($_GET['redirect_to'])) {
$redirect_to = get_option('siteurl');
}
}
add_action('login_form', 'redirect_after_login');

function redirect_login(){
wp_redirect( 'https://medicforyou.in/wp-login.php' );
exit();
}
add_action('wp_logout','redirect_login');

AMP - reply

I really don’t think it’s a good idea to go for amp unless you have a news or sales website. Adsense CTR just don’t work well with amp.

Quick Update

Looks like i have been missing a lot (yes a lot) of SEO because i totally forgot to check my broken links when i migrated from Blogger to WordPress. Even if you haven’t migrated and had fresh install of WP, try getting the Redirection Plugin.

It will tell you about your broken links and redirect all those broken links to another url, so you don’t lose precious SEO Juice of your website.

Just a quick update to the guide:

Further Speed can be increased by-

Setting Post-template to Post Template Style 5 or 12 (i prefer 12). This removes viewing your featured image in the post and reduces the load. Note: Do set a featured image, as GoogleBot will still crawl your website and will be able to fetch this image for showing in rich snippets (if applicable).

Apart from that, the users who were having trouble with http to https redirections, following code can be added to .htaccess file in your hosting cPanel:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Note: Do not duplicate RewriteEngine On

Hello @michele-jolie , have you tried using Mobile Plugin provided with the theme? Indeed your page is blank on mobile phones. Apart from that, i assume you are already using

Apart from that, some basics you should try for your website:

1. Try installing a demo from theme panel, in your case, you should try Cooking demo- https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_recipes/ . Just have a look. You can find other demos here- https://demo.tagdiv.com/select_demo/select_demo_newspaper .
2. Go for Free CDN by Cloudfare, that will boost speed of your website a lot and is pretty good.
3. Add SSL Certificate to your website, it will show users that your website is safe and again, is pretty neat.
4. Explore post types in theme, they are pretty good and worth exploring.
5. Try reading how to set up homepage here- https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/ .
6. Basic plugins must get for WordPress- Akismet-anti spam, External Links, Jetpack, Regenerate thumbnails, WP Smush, Wp-Super Cache and Yoast ofcourse.

Good luck with blogging. You can check mine here- https://medicforyou.in . Feel free to ask for anything. 🙂

Thanks for your response, @bogdan-b . Appreciate your work, and looking forward for new update.

Thanks for the response Chris (gladly, i was reading your comments on so many posts 2mins back).

As a website owner, and yeah part of newspaper family, what do you suggest me about AMP? Different articles end up mixing similar pros and cons of it. What exactly is the use of “super fast speed” when your revenues are cut off (a friend of mine just took off from AMP because the revenues were falling greatly). Just need your word of advice here.
(i don’t usually mention people, but when i do, i respect them)

Nice thread Prajwal. The questions asked are legit and lovely. Yeah you can’t simply ask developers to style everything (in case of quotes and ad on/off).
Post update date is something i would definitely love to see, but it seems more of theoretical, since we know google doesn’t work that way or everyone here will be just pressing “update post” every next day.

I suggest you use Mashshare. I too disabled the regular sharing buttons. Mashshare was great since it has better look and fake counter of shares too 😀

+1 to issue. I’m having similar issues. P.S- Just updated to 8.6.

Appreciate the response. Great work again. I used up some plugins to tackle the navigation issues on BBP Mobile. Thanks again.

H1 is added to Title tags usually. If the audit software are giving warning, i guess you should ignore them. Just try not to use h1 heading in page.

The title tag on the above is purely for users, however, the one set by Yoast is for SEO. Try to use both of them abit different. Title for attracting visitors and Yoast SEO title for search engines.

Apart from that, try to use small H2 headings in page, they will be appearing as sitelinks for the article. I have been practicing the same and have got sitelinks and some super rich snippets for my articles recently. For the check, you can try searching “mbbs books” or “Window reflex”. You will find the sitelinks actually appear below the post in search results.

True that. Apart from the general ad types, link ads can be added to page, making the number of total ads maximum to 5 (generally, but Adsense has not defined the limits yet, just said that page shouldn’t be spammy). On the addition, the newer related content ads are not counting to total number of ads on page. I think its time Tagdiv should look to this as it will increase the revenue of fellas working hard on their blogs to make some income with Newspaper theme.

Thanks alot @usman . That was great help! Didn’t find any guide to that though. Had to add a lot of plugins to list though.

drvarun5179

@neotrope That actually seems genuine since TD Composer and VC have almost same style. Apart from the buttons, you will have to recreate them for sure. There’s a shortcode for buttons though in format.

I don’t know but i have really not seen any great difference between TD Composer and VC. They look alot alike but the plugin of VC seems to be heavy abit.

Stay with VC for sure. Disable TD, it would be total mess re-creating all posts now. As for VC you should know, you can’t properly use mobile theme with it. Try not to use VC in posts for now.

Thanks @Bogdon B. , but it seems like I’m greatly suffering from low CPC. Ah the Indians pay so low. I’m testing out google search console feature- data highligther and rich cards. Still guessing if anyone is actually reading this guide. 😀
