Hi @thesend – could I hire you to get this going for us? Setup with DFP, but ads won’t resize for us.

I’ve done this and there’s a lot to consider. It’s a bit finicky to get it working 100%, but once you do, I found that the speed is actually better, and not worse. That would have a positive ranking impact.

As far as ranking goes, there needs to be consideration that the http and https are considered two separate domains and, even when you 301 redirect them, you’re losing some link juice off of them. A 301 redirect URL/link maintains about 90% of it’s value, so you’re actually hurting the site from an SEO standpoint.

We organized all of the backlinks to the site and prioritized them from most important to least important. Then we contacted each and every webmaster and asked them to update the links from http to https to minimize the loss.

I don’t expect that https has a huge ranking benefit, and if you don’t fix your backlinks, it’s a negative with regards to SEO. If there’s a tie breaker for two results, the winner goes to the site with https—that’s how we see it.

TL;DL – you’ll get a speed boost (if done correctly), update your backlinks to point to the https version of the site, and the ranking impact is slight and will probably only be in the 1-3% area, in my experience.

Mobile screencaps: Misaligned ads
Blackberry Z30, though the commenters have provided feedback that both iPhone and Android OS are getting the same problems. All the Google ads are set to responsive, so they adapt to the size of the computer screen.

Mobile screencaps: Misaligned text on buttons
On a separate issue, the text on livefyre’s commenting plugin is misaligned with this theme on the like and reply buttons:

http://mapleleafshotstove.com/2015/06/23/tuesday-mashup-no-mccrimmon-draft-trade-talk/ – On mobile and on Safari/Mac the ads are shifting to the right. It happens on every page.

Another thing: the ads that are at the tops and bottom of the content (the in-content ads) are aligned right and I am not able to find anything in the theme panel or in the documentation.

Thanks

The new update is fantastic.

1. Deleted old theme and uploaded the new version, activated, etc. I’ve disabled all my plugins and am getting this error on the front page:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function vc_column_offset_class_merge() in /nas/wp/www/staging/****/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/vc_templates/vc_column.php on line 22

I’ve only got visual composer plugin activated.

2. We have an existing site with content and the old shortcoded blockquotes appear to be missing, which makes the previous content with the blockquotes in it show the raw shortcodes. Did the shortcodes not get carried over? Is there an easy way to fix this?

Thanks! Unbelievable job on this theme.

The spacing is way off on it.

Use that as a comparison.
