If you’re using Excel, you can try ‘exporting’ to HTML.

If using classic editor, you can try copy pasted table into a post while in rich text view.

If table gets spaced out, copy text back into a plain text file and remove all the line breaks.

There are some plugins for this, but couple of them recently had major security issues (per WordFence).

Sorry not better answer. I do mix of copy paste from excel then clean up.

You can do regex expressions in your htaccess file, but the redirection plugin is simpler overall.

part of general wordpress settings, not theme settings….go to wp settings, discussion

Be sure you also installed tagdiv composer update, not just theme update.

For menus you can usually just go into the WP settings and ‘reselect’ the menu positions.

I put custom css into WP > customizer so not part of theme settings.

Footers may also need to be reset in the widgets settings.

Simple Local Avatar has worked on our site for many many years now without issue.

WordPress built-in search has sucked for 20 years; try searching for customer in WooCommerce; just as bad.

Aside from any theme inconsistency in display, there are bunch of plugins “better search” which can help fix the horrible results WP provides internally.

Issue with Twitter; seeing this with our newsmag themes today too. As always, social media is hit/miss on caching content. Sometimes the image not shown, but then appears later on. Sometimes you have to ping your post using the sorta defunct developer preview tool – which still pings, but does not show preview (LOL). X is crap.

Q: since I have several hacks to the plugin for our news portals (e.g., changing custom field for hits/views; removing images from drop down search; moving tags to bottom of post), is there one file I can edit for the version number in the composer plugin. I’m assuming it’s top of the plugin code? Obvious, I know – but just double checking.

Yeah – Google tried to basically create solution for problem where many of us had solution from early days when Google didn’t sell ads — which was “print friendly” page. Then they added all these stupid requirements – oh, you can’t load jscript here, oh you can’t load a font, oh, you can’t blah. So glad it’s dead. The insult of being forced to use /AMP to “ensure” visiblity in search was one of the reasons Google has turned to evil.

I don’t work here but couple notes
a) theme does not control the /AMP plugin from WordPress
b) Google abandoned AMP in early 2023, so good to move on and no longer use it, as it might entirely stop working at some point

Theme does not control index, no-index; this is usually managed by your SEO plugin (Yoast, Rank Math, etc.)

You’re better off properly setting up your hosting setup to enable all queries to load over https than using a plugin that keeps interfering with your pages loading!

I may be wrong, but seem to recall having to use .+ vs .* for some stuff

yep. theme does not control FB image capture.

I don’t work here, but the docs are good place to start:

Most social systems need proper open graph tags to read and identify what info to include in a post on social. So, if you have no open graph tags, probably won’t work consistently.

your images all working for me … 9:51am PDT Aug 31.

Probably a bug in Plesk toolbox; since if you’re running 5.1, it probably should not give you warning about “hey, don’t use versions below 5.0).
I stopped using the toolbox on Plesk, myself.
(*it could also be the toolbox needs to be updated from your hosting panel).

FB issue. They sometimes capture something, but their caching is not right, and you get blank image. Usually you can click the … on your post on FB, and do “refresh share attachment.”

Not theme related, as your OG tags give FB pointers to what to capture.

site is pushing malware

Theme does not control FB scraping images from your OG tags. If you look at the header for your posts, and you have proper OG (open graph) tags for FB to scrape, then that is how they grab stuff. Sometimes they have caching issues due to billions of images at a time. Sometimes the only way to get them to recapture image is go to your post on FB, click the little … or drop down for post and do “refresh share attachment.”

This is not new issue and happens from time to time with FB, as you should probably know by now. Not theme related. Theme does not control your featured image on server – if it’s readable by FB, then it’s an issue with FB showing a captured image not cached on their end properly.

As to ‘stock answers’ (I don’t work here), but TagDiv go out of their way to help folks and have for many many years, even when it’s nothing to do with their product.

We recently deleted 8,000 old posts. Our “impressions” went down 50% in Google, but the quality of the content went up as more focus on current vs stale (old news is not that evergreen really). We let them 404 to our main news index.

Using the Redirection plugin is super useful 🙂
I also posted the regex codes in forum to setup proper 301 redirects for /amp and /?amp type URLs. 🙂
