Make sure you have the image “sizes” activated on the module pages.
Also, clear cache.
Also, turn off lazy load animations.

You can use wp-postviews plugin and then disable the theme count function, as one option, to do all counting for you.

Or, you can use wp-postviews plugin to *only* count ‘pages’ and *not* ‘posts’ and let theme do the post counting.

see – https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-postviews/

We do this on some sites 🙂

Did you update VC from the /plugins/ folder at same time as theme? This is normally cause of that kind of issue 🙂

Your hosting panel should have error log for your website.

IN our case we switched to using the beta TD Composer plugin in place of Visual Composer, which really helped. Also, moving to php 5.6 from 5.4/5.5.

Also note, the ‘old/classic’ W3C checker had a lot of issues with HTML5 and nextgen HTML parsing; we went through this on a Bootstrap only project.

You might try the ‘nu’ version they are working on, which is ‘experimental’ for testing modern next-gen HTML5+ era code:

We had lots of issues with VC on our server with multi-XEONS, 32GB RAM, etc.

In our case – awhile back – was to use the beta ‘shim’ plugin which Radu (of TagDiv) came up with, which allowed us to use the most common blocks for story content to setup a fancy home page, where we’d use VC for short period to build/edit page, turn it off, and leave ‘shim’ plugin active.

This has evolved 2 years later into the TD Composer plugin, which does not replace/clone/ripoff VC, but takes that idea of the TD custom modules/blocks into their own plugin to build a nice homepage and strips out most of the more arcane stuff that “most” people don’t use.

So, that is worth a try.

Also ensure you disable loading of VC on posts if not actually using it for posts.

Hope that helped a little.

We’re now using the TD COmposer plugin and don’t have VC installed anyplace anymore.

Ignore it. Just because an update is available to a plugin does not mean you need it. The plugin is updated when the theme is updated.

Nothing to worry about 🙂

you do *not* need a license to use it. It’s a bundled version; you do not get a paid license for the plugin which would give you paid support from the people who make the plugin.

Simply ignore the nag screen asking you to ‘activate’ it — just use it! One you turn on the plugin from the plugins panel, it works.

Note it depends on the font; some fonts are “normal” at 400 and don’t have a 300 version. Some fonts are “too thin” on all devices (ever notice those sites with headlines where on mobile you can barely read them for being too thin at 300 weight?).

Ideally you should disable all fonts setup with theme and instead build your own custom font stack to use in your style.css and load from your footer.php file — yes, you need to update this each time the theme updates.

Probably not best advice; but most poeple won’t want to load the 300 weight to bog down their website loading if not using it.

Just some feedback; might not help in any way 🙂

Not having this issue with our sites in Apple News, but using Newsmag.

I would look at your most recent posts via your RSS feeds in browser, to see what might be “printed” in the post meta which doesn’t work “off your site…” — this can often be shortcodes, or bad HTML. Pretty much if it passes AMP validation will also work in Apple News.

So, you have to check for bad things being inserted in post meta from plugins; and also make sure legacy HTML is updated…

e.g., bad WordPress center tags like
<p align="center"> should be <p class="mycenterclass"> – etc.

You can find latest version on Themeforest from your downloads page and the sale page shows latest version. The latest version of VC is the version tested compatible with theme. You don’t need to update VC until the next theme update. Make sure you tell ThemeForest to ‘notify’ you of updates from your account page 🙂

(upshot – you don’t need to update VC just because a new version is out)

Can you be more specific on your issue ?

You do not need to ‘activate’ the plugin other than turning it on from the plugins panel in WordPress like any normal plugin.

Not part of theme; you likely need a plugin or custom coding to manage posts — that’s part of WordPress. An author role plugin might work 🙂

basic HTML; 20 years of online tutorials on how to write HTML …

e.g.,

<a href="http://" target="_blank"><img src="/myimage.jpg" height="" width="" /></a>

OG tags have nothing to do with images appearing in your posts/layouts.

a) try disabling lazy load image effects
b) be sure to ‘regenerate’ thumbs for your layout (make backups first!)
c) be sure to check the settings in theme panel to actually ‘enable’ the image sizes for modules/blocks you intend to use
d) be sure to clear all caching in site if used and in web browser
e) make sure you actually have ‘featured’ images assigned to each post
f) make sure you have ‘use featured image’ enabled in the post settings

Can’t you use the “letters” option vs “words” option to make excerpts same length ?

We did this with Newsmag theme; thought that was also option in Newspaper ?

(sorry if wrong … ) 🙂

Theme does not offer that by default. But TagDiv might have a hack you can do to your admin setup via a function.

Disable the lazy load animation as first step and see if that fixes it.

Admin panel is managed by WordPress, not the theme.

I don’t have this issue on any of our sites …

e.g., 2 of 521

Be sure to resave permalinks after updates; clear transients with wp-optimize.
If using Yoast SEO, resave settings and disable removing of stop words.

Might help some with this issue.

Try changing the url for adsense to https://

You can look at the docs here for Newspaper to see the new modules/blocks; you might have to redo some stuff, so good to do screen cap of old page first. I kind of went through that when going from Newspaper to Newsmag; but then going from VC to the beta TagDiv Composer. Suddenly the plain text box had to be the raw HTML box, and so forth. But luckily not too painful 🙂

Yes, if you buy Newspaper you get a current version of VC. There are obviously differences between the two as far as supported blocks and whatnot.

(( I don’t work here. ))

You can use a plugin like AdRotate 🙂
