Did you try making a new hompage template under pages, then edit that without it yet being selected as home page in WP settings?

Also, stick with php 8.3x as 8.4x has too many edge changes.

Your page is working for me. Disable lazy loading feature. Clear cache.

Works for me. Main thing is disable caching, upload NEW version of tagdiv composer; upload new theme folder only via FTP vs zip file. Disable anything not being used like mobile plugin – not needed in most cases until site working.
Login, and “enable” tag div composer plugin.
You may then need to massage some things like reset sidebar widget, or reselect footer widgets and reselect menus.
(any way – that is how I do it )

TIPS:
a) make sure you had/have the “delete all info” setting checked when you disable and delete the AMP plugin; which should be done before setting up regex entries
b) from the WP settings, do “save permalinks” to clear any permalink cache (always do this after any AMP related stuff)

Good luck!

So you’re setting target as /$1/ for both?

Yes, you need to make two (2) different regex entries using the examples I’ve provided. Try it πŸ™‚

simchris
tagDiv Member

Yep, we had the same — old version, them newer version. Hence my providing regex for both formats πŸ™‚

Might be PHP version too high? 8.4 still problematic. 8.3x works.

Hi – we don’t take international calls, sorry. Also I think we have .bg blocked for spam. Our main site has been online 25 years and you should see the amount of spam we get even with blocking and filters πŸ™‚

You have permission to use our news feed(s) provided you follow normal Google guidelines to retain the links at bottom back to the original story which lets Google know you are syndicating the news not pretending you invented it (content theft).

Might be due to mix of main and sub domain usage?

LOL … we have all been there on this one πŸ™‚

need to update install activate td composer

simchris

If it were me, I’d probably overwrite the theme and tagdiv composer with updated copy of the Newspaper theme, and do it via FTP not zip upload.
Sorry – not sure how that is happening. Would drive me nuts too πŸ™‚

So, you can load the images in the browser? When you look at the page source for the posts, the link to your OG (open graph) featured image is correct, and in a public folder?

So, looking at this page:
https://www.texasforestcountryliving.com/event/cheers-with-the-chamber-angelina-county-4/

Your image is
<meta property="og:image" content="https://www.texasforestcountryliving.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/455641862_1043608027767687_8948949854303820277_n.jpg" />

This loads in browser so is public image. So, any issue on the side of FB is their issue and nothing to do with the theme.

It might be related to your URL where you have a -4 on the end which is not normal. That implies you have three prior stories with the same name and this is the 4th version and so might be considered stale/duplicate content and FB might skip if they have already captured a story with -1 -2 -3. Dunno.

Anyway. Good luck in sorting it. I’ve been using TagDiv themes on numerous sites since they launched, and the FB issue is always as I have described in my prior post, unless there is some technical issue on your site, like blocking FB, or the image is too large or the wrong format.

Cheers.

We get hundreds of spam emails each week. We also block certain countries known to try to hack us. What is your website where you want to intake our news? Post as ‘code’ in reply here so not live link/spam. πŸ™‚

We have not received any recent emails asking about syndication of our content, only spam on how to post to our site.

Google search panel will show “errors” about the missing pages, and also will show stuff like “3,000 pages indexed; 2800 not indexed” — it will take couple of months for them to clean house.
You should go into your search console and ‘resubmit’ your site map to accerate them no longer seeing amp pages.

simchris

Note: when setting up be sure to set regex value option in Redirection plugin, not a simple one page redirect (see the how to for the plugin for more info).

There is no SEO problem as AMP was always a separate version of the canonical main page; hence why Google makes such a big deal about the “canonical” URL. This way

mysite/page-name
mysite/page-name?amp
mysite/page-name?pdf

would all have (1) “canonical link” which is the main one. This is how duplicate content is addressed and managed.

When you remove /amp or ?=amp links, your main page will load from any of the inbound amp links, and since the main page was always the “real” or “canonical” link, there is no SEO issue as suddenly losing hundreds of inbound links redirecting to what was always the main link has no downside.

Technically, just turning off AMP and letting google see they are gone, will just clean things up. There is no penalty for removing amp links entirely even when NOT doing a regex redirect.

Hm. Weird. We switched to Newsmag which does not make theme backups via any theme function. We only have default WP stuff and server side twice daily “all” backups to gzip.

Sorry for butting in πŸ™‚

There may be a setting to disable or limit Newspaper theme related backups, like there is to limit the wall of WP post backups (we limit those to 3 vs the 20 WP wants to do!).

simchris
tagDiv Member

WordPress does *not* automatically back itself up; this is why it always says to make backup before updating WP- every time.

Export of the basic post data from WP, is one of the purposes of the export function in WP. It’s part of WP, not the theme.

Ideally you make backup of the dbase on your hosting setup, periodically.

In our case 500 error is most often due to lack of system resources, too new version of PHP, etc.
