Upon closer inspection, the “More” menu in the sticky menu on Safari only doesn’t load on the home page. It seems it loads on all other pages and posts.

Another question: Which section in the Style settings for the header would allow us to make the “More” menu items in the sticky menu look like the “More” items in the normal menu?

We’ve updated the header and footer to both be Cloud-based, but we ran into a couple of things.

For the Header, everything seems to be working fine on Chrome and Firefox, but on Safari the sticky menu doesn’t show the “More” pulldown menu. Do we need a special custom code for that? It’s showing just fine in the normal menu on Safari before you start scrolling down.

For the Footer, there’s a white line at the very very bottom of the page. Is there a way to get rid of that?

Thanks Vlad. We’ll look into only using the flex blocks.

That is the one in-article ad I set manually in Mobile Theme > Mobile Ads > Article Inline Ad. Before the Newspaper X update, AdSense Auto Ads would ad more ads below that in the article, but those are gone now.

I’m definitely still not seeing in-article auto ads on my iPhone 11 using Safari. I’ve cleared both the site’s cache and my browser’s cache. The only in-article ad I see is the one I set manually after the second paragraph in Mobile Theme > Mobile Ads > Article Inline Ad.

I’m not sure I understand. It says here (https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-update-standard-pack-or-tagdiv-cloud-templates/):

“To make the transition from 9.8 to Newspaper 10 with Cloud templates, you need to ensure you gradually and smoothly remove the dependencies. Please read this, don’t scan. Failing in removing dependencies prior to deactivating the Standard Pack will break your website.

If your website uses any of the templates present there, you must replace it with its equivalent from the tagDiv Cloud Library.

We’ve made it easy for you and recreated them. Every template from the theme panel already exists in the tagDiv Cloud Library. It should be easy to find the one that’s closer to your brand and import it on your website. Customize it using tagDiv Composer and assign it to replace the existing one.

You must find and replace templates until you’ve completed the process. Then simply deactivate the Standard Pack, and you are ready for speed and performance.”

Doesn’t that mean I can now go into the Home page in ‘Pages’ and my other pages in Cloud Templates and swap the current header, blocks etc with I guess ones from the Cloud Library? Like I said above, you guys really need a guide on how to do this properly. It’s a little confusing.

We changed the site’s demo to Default PRO yesterday, updated the theme panel to make things look like they were, etc., and then briefly deactivated the Standard Pack to see what it would look like. Below, you can see some screenshots of the Home page, an article page, and category page.

What would we need to do in order for things like the logo & header, the content block on the home page, and the sidebar on category pages to show normally?

Are there elements available in tagDiv Composer that should replace these? Does it work the same for the Pages and Cloud Templates sections?

Here is the live site with the Standard Pack activated: https://www.vitalthrills.com

Thanks for any advice you can give.

I’ve been switching to some of the other headers and it looks like none of the Multipurpose header styles show the Header Ad, including ‘Style 1 – Multipurpose’, ‘Style 2 – Multipurpose’, and ‘Style 3 – Multipurpose.’ When I switch to something like the normal header styles like ‘Style 5’ and ‘Style 6’, the Header Ad shows up. Is there a fix for this or will it stay this way?

You don’t think it’s a problem with the “Style 2 – Multipurpose” header like the problem Header 4 is having? https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/site-not-working-with-new-update/

Okay, we will look into doing that.

Hi Vlad,

I do have the header ad code inside the ads box. I’m using header style “Style 2 – Multipurpose.” I tried readding the code and saving again, but no luck.

On the previous version, 9.8, users were able to keep pressing the Load More button and more and more posts would show up. In 10, you can only press it once and the Load More button does not show up again.

Thank you, Calin. That looks much better.

Are you on an iPhone? I’m using an Android and definitely seeing the white space underneath many ads.

Looks like it was an issue with a recent update of the AMP plugin:

https://github.com/ampproject/amp-wp/releases

Fixes: “Prevent empty srcset for images in galleries.”

Yes, I realized too late that I had posted in the Newsmag forum, my apologies. I’ll take a look at the link.

Actually, I’m going to change it back to the original AMP ads code. I’m getting all kinds of AMP errors in Search Console now.

So I figured out if I remove the Mobile Header Ad, that it will only load the responsive header ad at the above AMP link. But that gets rid of the header ad on the mobile theme, so that won’t work either.

Right, I understand that. But how do we change the code here – https://prnt.sc/ov400l – to make it responsive? Right now all it is doing is calling up our AdSense account number (data-ad-client). I assume I can’t put the following suggested code by AdSense to make it responsive?

<amp-ad width=”100vw” height=320
type=”adsense”
data-ad-client=”XXXXX”
data-ad-slot=”8524489564″
data-auto-format=”rspv”
data-full-width>
<div overflow></div>
</amp-ad>

Regarding No. 3, I’ve done what you said (https://prnt.sc/ov400l), but AdSense tells me responsive ads would be better for the header amp ad? I assume this is out of our control since the theme already has the script in the head?

Here’s the message:

Try responsive ads for AMP
Using responsive AMP ad units can improve the overall performance of your ads.

Responsive ads on AMP-compatible pages perform better than non-responsive ads. Other publishers who already implemented responsive AMP ad units see on average 45% higher RPM* compared to non-responsive ad units.

First, make sure you have the required AMP ad script in the head tag of your pages. Next, replace the existing ad code in the body of your HTML with the responsive AMP ad code from the table below.

Yes, I have the latest version of the AMP plugin. Looking at the source of the page, it looks like the error is coming from the TagDiv Slide Gallery (amp-carousel), which has a lot of these – srcset=””. Is there any kind of fix for this?

Also, if I do the fix that you linked to, where would I put that code?

mparlevliet
tagDiv Member

Yes, I’m using Mobile + AMP, and I’m using version 9.8 of Newspaper.
