Facebook just randomly “does not grab” some data due to timeout of either your site or their system.

If your OG tags are there, not much else you can do on your end.

Worthwhile to check F12 in Chrome console for page errors on the pages where there is a problem. AdSense ads with borked data can sometimes cause issue too.

Typically the ONLY solution you have to random content drops is to go to FB and share the story, then click the “time since” posted, then down arrow on the post to “refresh share attachment.”

Theme does not control the actual pickup by FB of your data; it reads OG tags if there, but then timeouts can cause the hiccups.

I had been changing mine recently also, hence having a quick answer as I’d already figured it out ! 🙂

Tables are not blockquotes.

Tables should not be in blockquotes.

You can apply custom styles to tables yourself.

I don’t work here; perhaps tagdiv can help you further.

I provided the info on how to address issue with ‘blockquotes’ in posts.

Yeah … I’ve been moving all our news network sites to https with “Let’s Encrypt” and we’re going to be beta testing http/2 on our server for the speed-demon-who-needs-CDN-not-me-buddy effect :-).

I don’t use the speedbooster anymore since I tend to manually hack stuff to move to footer anyway, merge files, and then put critical css in header. SO, I’m more into doing that vs the plugin. Also been cheating a bit with the simple “scripts to footer” plugin which plays nice with our sites at the moment.

Also it turned out finally going from Newsmag 1.7 (ahem!) to 3.1 made huge difference in being able to use the tagdiv beta composer. So, with the 3x, scripts to footer, basic house cleaning, and the tagdiv composer, that is one huge giant jumpstart right there … newspaper a bit more clunky but serves more masters!

Right now I’m still embroiled in the nightmare that is working with google for http > https, notifying Google News, mysql search/replace crap, etc. — WAAAH!

Anyway — have not myself yet gotten to playing with php 7. Just switched on new server Aug 5, so still doing house cleaning on stuff in prep for new version of mod_pagespeed (we crashed last version due to some issue where it didn’t like missing images, and with server crash we borked some stuff, so now need to add stupid htacess rule to redirect missing jpeg to default jpeg just to get mod_pagespeed to work …)

but I digress … as per usual :-0

@ShowbizCool
you should consider making a post:

[TUTORIAL] Early Adopters for PHP 7x

and detail the items which need changing for those running PHP7.

Funnily enough a *lot* of folks only recently finally got off php 5.4 to 5.6, and “not quite” ready for 7.

Luckily in our case we can switch back and forth between the two. We’re still on 5.6x here, but getting ready to move to PHP7 for January 2017, so pointers would be good (we’re using Newsmag, but some similar stuff there methinks).

Anyway — if you make that a [TUTORIAL] they can add it to the ‘best of user forums’ section.

often issue with pokey jetpack if trying to use that. I don’t.

Might not be your issue, but perhaps an “example” post or page might help?

How are you placing the video into the post exactly ?

There is a plugin which can “trim” the sizes you’re not using from media folder, but I have not tried that. You could make a very safe backup of everything and then try that. It’s in the main WP plugin repo if you look for it.

If not adding your own version to bottom of style.css, and using theme panel, you may need to put !important on some items to force over-ride due to how CSS works.

Pretty simple CSS fix; using the Chrome “inspector” is super useful to highlight and ID what CSS is used where.

You can also find it in the main theme style.css under a notable section for “quote”

I changed mine to this on one site by example:

.td-page-content blockquote,
.td-post-content blockquote,
.mce-content-body blockquote,
.comment-content blockquote {
padding: 0;
position: relative;
border-left: none;
margin: 42px 0 38px 0;
}
.td-page-content blockquote p,
.td-post-content blockquote p,
.mce-content-body blockquote p,
.comment-content blockquote p {
font-family: "Segoe UI",Frutiger,"Frutiger Linotype","Helvetica Neue",-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Dejavu Sans",Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,Arial,arial,sans-serif;
font-size: 20px;
line-height: 30px;
font-weight: normal;
font-style: italic;
text-align: center;
text-transform: uppercase;
color: #4db2ec;
}

hope that helps 🙂

NEWSMAG Theme is “responsive,” it’s mobile friendly by design. There is no “mobile” plugin or theme.

Responsive design “resizes” and changes CSS depending on the viewport, or device size viewing the site.

You can sort of demo this by dragging in right side of your browser window to make it more narrow and see how it changes.

Theme doesn’t store third party plugin data; the WordPress database does.

You can try cleaning your dbase with wp-optimize plugin, which I use.

You can also resave permalinks, clear any cache plugin, reset CDN if used.

Check the support forum for that plugin to see if others have similar issue.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/123contactform-for-wordpress/

Setup correct open graph tags.

Optimum method is apply custom changes to new files from new theme, then delete old theme, upload your new version with custom mods applied, and upload updated plugins.

Anyway thats how i do it to be safe.

Delete via ftp if your system timed out.

You don’t need to ‘activate’ Visual Composer. 🙂

Did you regenerate thumbnails yet ?

Theme does not manage the WordPress admin toolbar — if you are talking about the black bar across top of page when logged in. You can toggle that on/off per user from the main WP admin bar on left side under > users.

Make sure you have anough system resources allocated to WordPress and PHP via theme status tab.

Also, DO NOT post your admin login/password here. You should change that immediately!

Set the sizes you wish to use in the modules settings for thumbnails; choose your modules and layouts to only use certain sizes, like a small, medium, large. For instance, use just ONE size/module for sidebar and secondary sections on front page = one size. Etc.

make sure you resave your permalinks, clear caching, perhaps add the correct new URL to your wp-config.php file also; make sure it’s correct on the admin > settings > general tab in WP.

Well, I use wp-optimize plugin to clean house.

You can also periodically check for errors and cleanup with PHPmyAdmin from your hosting panel. You can inspect tables and if you no longer use, or ever plan to use, an old plugin which added tables, you can scrub those very carefully following various tutorials online.

My main site dbase is 252MB, with 14,000 posts. 🙂

Well, if you check your page source, for a page like this — you have cocked up something as you have multiple <head></head> sections.

use “view source’ in your web browser for

You can simply use the Google adsense boxes under “ads” in the theme panel.

See the theme docs (link right side of page here), for using “ads” with theme.

Super simple 🙂

Or, if you’re trying to do that site wide, I think there is a header code box under “custom code” in theme panel.

Or, you could manually add to the header.php file, but will need to redo on any theme update.

Make sure you place that in ‘text’ mode; as WordPress has annoying habit of changing things placed into the post box when switching to ‘visual’ view.

Might not be your issue, but it’s the one we have had with WP the past 11 years. 🙂

Also, remove spaces
width = “100%”

and make sure curly quotes are inch marks ".
width="100%"
