Hello,
I have seen the demo. Please no more references or screens of the demo. I get it.
I removed some code in the header.php and the index.php files and it made no difference.
1. Your template does not allow for additional menu items in a pleasant design. I sure wish you guys would add a second bar and not the top bar…= A second bar would look great under the black…anyways, all i really need to do I guess is remove the arrows. Wish I could get a clean second line of menu items but that is too difficult, the line height goes crazy….
here is a screen snap from my ipad: http://www.screencast.com/t/9aLnhXF3Xhv3
How do i get rid of arrows and adjust space between items? Please?
2. Any ideas how to fix the deadspace in the sidebar on ipad after the video player and before “inside our las vegas blog” ? Please?

I don’t have that deadspace when viewing on desktop/ http://www.screencast.com/t/lGCVdARm
Thank you so much….
Thanks Catalin,
but I got to tell ya, the screensnap (CoLUY7ZCcpuC) you are showing me does not look impressive. Too much space on the line height etc…
My problem is I don’t want a second line of menu spill over on the ipad. Nor do I want a very tiny font size. Just want control of the space between the categories and the arrows gone. Don’t need arrows, because the category highlights itself.
My site is p a r a d i s e f o u n d t o u r s .com
I really think the menu choices need better design to allow more categories and more letters.
Would you be so kind as to spare any css for that?
Thank you.
Also, since you are visiting my site on ipad. Any suggestions on fixing the deadspace on the right sidebar. When viewing on desktop the space after the video player stops to allow the body content to catch up (which is awesome) but on ipad it does not. It just shows a big space. any suggestions?
Thanks so much.
Thanks Bogdan,
The reason why your ipad menu for say what looks good is you limited your characters:
Home
Celebs
Relationships
Scandal
More
But what if your categories have more letters, then it’s a problem and the width between has to be shrunk, font size has to be shrunk, arrow down has to go..etc..
All i want to do i guess is shrink some space between categories…and maybe remove the arrows… via css..
I have fixed the issue, it was a simple mistake in my wp-config.php file.
I just moved the ‘define( ‘UPLOADS’, ”.’images’ );’ few lines above in the wp-config file.
This was originally added as the last line in the wp-config file, but WordPress ignores settings after wp-settings.php file is loaded which overrides settings from core.
I also optimized the Database and that seemed to fix some issues.
So Everything works with the template, and above versions listed. Once can buy Newspaper and use Say What template and Ultimate Addons with confidence.
Thanks
uapdirect,
Details dude…details.. Tech Support are not mind readers….
Hi Bogdan
So the fix with issue one is
Replace in index.php line 6 code:
get_header();
with this exact code?
if (function_exists('get_header')) {
get_header();
}else{
/* Redirect browser */
header("Location: https://mydomain.com ");
/* Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. */
exit;
};
This is the only file that needs to be replaced, is that right?
I sure hope this doesn’t put me out of business. I’ll be honest my business is down 75% since switching to your template. =(
Hi Chris,
RE: “If you’re not interested in comments, likely not good to post on a forum for replies”
I’m not interested in a certain type of comment, as stated ” I’m numb to all the yoast subgurus that say they have it installed and no problems… not interested in those comments.”
Honestly I’m fed up with the slick marketers who are peddling these plugins and filling up the results in Google with positive reviews. It has not been a positive experience for me. Since I started using Yoast (and honestly this template) my income has sank 75%. My traffic has crashed. I refuse to believe it is this template. We have a right to use a nice template (and it is nice looking) and it’s up to Google to keep up with the code of these great new templates. I shouldn’t have to use a crappy Genesis template or whatever, so I’m sticking with Newspaper.
However I’m not so convinced Yoast is a good thing.
There is a pro and con to everything. it drives me crazy.
My site has 60 posts. Al unique hand crafted content. No duplicates. So why do i need the rel canonical tag?
The yoast plugin does not allow removal of the rel canonical tag (Greg’s high performance seo does)
I”m still looking into all of it and will report what I find, but am getting tired of 9 google visitors a day, when I used to have hundreds….
see: https://moz.com/blog/rel-confused-answers-to-your-rel-canonical-questions
“As my catastrophic canonicalization experiment and follow-up experiments showed, Google does honor rel=canonical even on very different pages, in some cases. That doesn’t mean that it’s a good idea. Generally speaking, I think it’s best to reserve rel=canonical for duplicates or very-near duplicates.”
Hi Again,
After a few more hours of research, I believe this is a wordpress issue that has haunted webmasters for quite some time.
you can append any page number to the URL and, if the page doesn’t actually exist, WordPress will return a valid “200 OK” response and deliver the highest numbered existing page to the user. And not just for paged content — WordPress exhibits this behavior for any permalink on your site. This of course is not good from an SEO perspective, where an infinite number of URLs all pointing to the same page containing the exact same title, description, and content could potentially devastate your rankings.
Try it yourself! Add a page number to the end of any WordPress-powered URL and witness the insanity..
The worst part is that WordPress does this for not only multipaged posts and comments, but for any post or page. Try it yourself on any WordPress site on the Web — just append some number to the end of any URL and watch WordPress work its magic.
I will try this fix later, was curious to know anybody’s thoughts on this..
FIX: https://perishablepress.com/wordpress-infinite-duplicate-content/
<?php // malicious post page ordinal fix by Jeff Morris
// [post URL for reference]
global $posts, $numpages;
$request_uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$result = preg_match('%\/(\d)+(\/)?$%', $request_uri, $matches);
$ordinal = $result ? intval($matches[1]) : FALSE;
if(is_numeric($ordinal)) {
// a numbered page was requested: validate it
// look-ahead: initialises the global $numpages
setup_postdata($posts[0]); // yes, hack
$redirect_to = ($ordinal < 2) ? '/': (($ordinal > $numpages) ? "/$numpages/" : FALSE);
if(is_string($redirect_to)) {
// we got us a phantom
$redirect_url = get_option('home') . preg_replace('%'.$matches[0].'%', $redirect_to, $request_uri);
// if page = 0 or 1, redirect permanently
if($ordinal < 2) {
header($_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL'] . ' 301 Moved Permanently');
} else {
header($_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL'] . ' 302 Found');
}
header("Location: $redirect_url");
exit();
}
}
?>
To implement this technique, just place it into your active theme’s functions.php file. Consider this a “beta” fix and test thoroughly. I have tested this successfully on WordPress 2.3 and 2.9, so it will probably work fine on just about any version of WordPress in use today.
This solution “fixes” the infinite duplicate content issue on the server-side of the equation. It eliminates the extraneous URLs by redirecting them to their canonical counterparts. Search engines will always find the canonical versions of your pages thus eliminating any duplicate content.
Conversely, using the canonical tag is more of a “cosmetic suggestion” that fails to resolve the issue in a reliable way. As Matt Cutts states several times in his presentation on canonical links, it’s always better for site admins to resolve any potential duplication issues on their site at the upstream end. Similar ideas are expressed in this video on the canonical tag.
I’m starting to believe the Yoast Seo Plugin is pure evil.
I don’t like the fact of it putting a rel canonical tag in the header for every post/page. Suppose your site is a small site of 60 posts and nothing is duplicated, so why have the rel canonical over used through the site? Read a great article on that. Could be irritating google with rel canonical overuse.
Also I’m not so trusting of the “wal-mart” of plugins. The bigger these companies/gurus get the more we are supposed to trust them? My income has sank since using yoast. I have it configured correctly too. Seen all the youtube videos and tutorials.
Looking into Greg’s High Performance as an alternate. Anyone else have suggestions? And btw, I’m numb to all the yoast subgurus that say they have it installed and no problems… not interested in those comments.
Alin,
The problem also exists on your demo site:
view any page and add subpages, it doesn’t 404.
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/homepage-magazine/
then add the /page/2/ to the url and voila!
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/homepage-magazine/page/2/
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/homepage-magazine/page/3/
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/homepage-magazine/page/4/
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/homepage-magazine/page/5/
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/homepage-magazine/page/6/
etc
Update: Continues to happen with no plugins activated. Although someone posted similar problem with yoast seo plugin and someone replied
Yoast SEO plugin will use get_the_excerpt as og:description and it’ll output it by default.
the default filter of get_the_excerpt: wp_trim_excerpt will use the_content as excerpt when post doesn’t have a native excerpt.
my solution is disable the get_the_excerpt in that particular page.
Maybe your template does the same thing? I don’t know, just wish it would stop generating multiple pages, i.e. /contact-us/page/3/, /contact-us/page/4/, /contact-us/page/5/ etc
Bogdan, Alin
I appreciate the suggestion but it’s not clear to me on some things.
td_module_1.php line 10 $parameter = ''
Do i just leave the ‘ ‘ or am i to put something between those ‘ ‘ ?
and line 21 echo 'my custom code';
Am i to leave it as ‘my custom code’ or am i to put something in there to replace ‘my custom code’ and if yes, what would i put in there?
Thanks so much.

Alin, I assumed Emil’s example was a suggestion that he wanted me to add my own code on it, I don’t know code. I was hoping for an example piece of code that was proven to work. I don’t know what he wants me to fill in for “my custom code” don’t know what he want me to do with the code in the screencast, there was no instructions, but a screen snap of code… do i use that code? do i paste that code somewhere as is? Do i need to modify it?
All i want to do is stop that code from showing up on the widget blocks, surely someone must have an easy fix? an if statement maybe?
Please?
I am getting the same error after a clean install of 6.6.
[29-Nov-2015 02:43:28 UTC] PHP Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, class ‘td_config’ not found in /home/paradise/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 503
When you get this type of error on WordPress, there’s a huge percentage of probability that your theme is broken. You normally get this type of error because a function on the functions.php for your theme is missing but there’s still the call for that function.
For example, let’s say you wanted to delete a function you’re not going to use anymore that is currently declared on your theme:
add_action(‘wp_loaded’,’my_function’);
function my_function () {}
Normally you would delete or comment out the function declaration for my_function. But if, for any reason, you forget to delete the add_action call, then you’re going to start seeing errors related to the call_user_func_array() on wordpress.
This normally happens when you have an add_action for that function in a different part of the code and you forget about it when deleting your function.
This error is very difficult to detect and solve as it doesn’t show which function is missing and where is the wrong add_action on the code.
To solve it, just comment one by one all the add_action calls that you suspect are causing the error, until you see the error go away. Then you will know which deleted function was causing the problem.
PD: This error could be also related to plugins authors that declared a function on a previous version of their plugin and then on a newest version they delete it but forget to delete the action related.

I truly hope you get rid of this in the next update. It’s a terrible feature IMHO. Or at least put in dashboard for on/off. I can’t help but think Google will punish us for this.. Why risk it… Plus it’s unsightly….Please be so kind as to dump it.
Also does the above fix, rid it everywhere? Every nook and cranny?
Thanks so much.

I too have been having major issues with Google, it’s hard to believe that Google would penalize us over a template, especially one that has sold thousands of copies…
I have a question for the GA masters… and this thread may have pointed out a serious problem in our website which I can’t thank you enough…
Our Website p a r a d i s e f o u n d t o u r s. c o m uses Post Affiliate pro to track and pay our affiliates. We set up the software in a directory off our root domain. Within the software we set up campaigns, banner links etc. Our affiliate simply links to us from their website appending their affiliate ID and banner ID to our domain url.
For example: ?a_aid=247e4f14&a_bid=168LP
Thanks to this thread I dove into our GA dashboard/behavior/All Pages/
and noticed tons of links in there with thousands of unique views that look like this:
/grand-canyon-south-rim/bus/?a_aid=247e4f14&a_bid=82LP
/grand-canyon-west-rim/skywalk-tour/?a_aid=247e4f14&a_bid=168LP
I am so confused by all this. Our affiliate has these links on their site, yet it shows up as a page in our GA, Could this be the source of our Google problems? Punishing us for duplicate content? Link Juice problems etc?
There are these affiliate links in our affiliate software interface on our domain. I would love to know your thoughts? I would love to dig us out of our hole and fix this. One web guru we worked with had a redirect going from these aff urls to our root domain, but I turned that off a few days ago thinking it wouldn’t solve the entire problem, there are too many pages with these aff ids in our GA.
Is this solved by the robots.txt file and/or htaccess? If so what would be that solution/code?
Thank you so much for taking the time to help. It’s been hand to mouth over here in feeding our families…I sure hope this is what had been causing our traffic drop.
Thank you
Thanks Catalin
Having trouble with the hover now. It’s not hovering the entire circle just the font icon, and ideas please
please have a look at the icons in the footer at (no spaces in domain)
p a r a d i s e f o u n d t o u r s . c o m
was thinking about a hover like this:
If that’s too hard, maybe just the circle hovers and not the icon? like in the footer of this site below:
Also is it possible to make the social icon font size bigger like the link above?
Thanks so much
Thought I’d share my redirect code in my htaccess file for having an SSL site. I am redirecting www, http:// etc to https://
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} libwww-perl.*
RewriteRule .* ? [F,L]
Header set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000" env=HTTPS
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^90\.28\.006\.21 [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.yourdomain\.com
RewriteRule (.*) https://yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule (.*) https://yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Hi Lucian, the old post is not quite clear on the method, you mention css and I can’t tell if that is an additional fix for something else or for the date etc.
Could you please repost the exact code to remove the date and in what file please.
Also what about this method?
1. Using Code in Functions File
This can be considered as the aggressive version of removing date and time-stamp from your WordPress blog. It is very powerful and removes the function of every php code, that helps to generate date. Date displayed in the comments will also be completely removed.
/** Start of Remove Date TimeStamp from blog posts */
function remove_post_dates() {
add_filter('the_time', '__return_false');
add_filter('get_the_time', '__return_false');
add_filter('the_modified_time', '__return_false');
add_filter('get_the_modified_time', '__return_false');
add_filter('the_date', '__return_false');
add_filter('get_the_date', '__return_false');
add_filter('the_modified_date', '__return_false');
add_filter('get_the_modified_date', '__return_false');
add_filter('get_comment_date', '__return_false');
add_filter('get_comment_time', '__return_false');
}
add_action('loop_start', 'remove_post_dates');
/** End of Remove Date TimeStamp from blog posts */
Add this code to functions.php file in your theme and update it. Wait for Google Search Bots to crawl and index your blog posts. Date will be removed from meta description of search results.
—
I read this article How to Remove Date From Google Search Results
It’s a better idea to remove dates from last year content, and for all latest content (ex: 2013 posts), let the date remain intact.
Note: I don’t recommend hiding date, rather show last updated time.
This is getting confusing…. Many sites say don’t hide it, some say don’t delete it and leave space, google hates space…too confusing….
I guess I’ll leave it in, there’s a reason why it’s coded in, maybe i shouldn’t mess with it and hope google doesn’t punish bloggers for having a date in their snippet.

I gave it a try and only got the facebook icon to work, do i not have the right id names? is my css correct?
.td-footer-wrapper .td-icon-facebook {
background-color: #3b5998;

.td-footer-wrapper .td-icon-font td-icon-flickr {

.td-footer-wrapper .td-icon-font td-icon-youtube {
background-color: #bb0000;
}
CSS definitions for more icons at: http://ksloan.net/css-color-definitions-for-font-awesome-social-icons/
Please in the next version of the theme allow us to change the background color of EACH and EVERY Icon. Want to make facebook icon blue, pinterest red etc.. Social Icons need to POP with color. They all can’t be the same color.
Thank you so much
Hey Chris,,
Could you look at this post for help and by chance do you have any ideas? is it the template or yoast? I’m stumped
