Not really a theme issue.

Make sure your content image folder is actually there, writable, and the domain name in your posts matches — and the images are actually in there!

For example, look at an image in your post, copy the URL, paste that into a web browser, and make sure it actually works.

If your DNS just changed, note it can take 24-48 hours for all name servers to properly load content from the NEW location vs the old one. If using a CDN, this can impact cross domain loading, and with some caching systems as well. Make sure you clear/disable caching while doing this kind of thing.

Good luck!

Put another way, if you change link structure then the old should redirect to new, and the new version should reflect the updated canonical link. WP should NOT be serving two different valid URLs with two of the same canonical tags unless you really messed it up.

If you have just one canonical tag on both, then only the ONE should be there.

You should not have two versions of same page.

Maybe resave your permalinks then force Google to respider your sitemap (resubmit it)

Use YOAST SEO or similar tool which will generate unique META titles/descriptions for your category/index pages!

Using YOAST SEO, you can have it automatically add things like

Books and Publishing, archive page 1

Books and Publishing, archive page 2

which will take care of that issue – common to ALL WP sites eventually (should be built into WP frankly, but noooooo…..) 🙂

Welcome to WordPress!

might be due to topic, might be do to takedown request from person named in story, or could just be that Google considers it “stale/duplicate” content if copied from a source which published it first …

Google is now “burying” duplicate news content.

Only way to see some things is to go to page 2, 3 in SERPS, then click the link bottom of results to “show hidden duplicate content …”

Might not be your issue, but has NOTHING to do with breadcrumbs – which help SEO.

If you don’t know how to add functions to the functions.php file or edit templates manually, best to leave that alone and try the speedbooster option.

Think about it …
why would YOAST SEO have a breadcrumbs option if it hurts your SEO ?

Only way to do that is to entirely disable all breadcrumbs on your website.

If you have breadcrumbs, Google will use them — as they have the past decade — in SERPS.

They use them as navigation aid … so if you have post in something like

entertainment > books > my story title

in SERPS, it’s more useful for somebody to jump to your books or entertainment page, vs seeing redundant URL since the title in serps is already there linking to the post.

Up to you. Breadcrumbs help SEO vs hurt them. We’ve been using them for 20 years online and they have only helped our sites.

Try
a) disabling lazy loading option in theme settings
b) consider using the “regenerate thumbnails” plugin
c) clear caching
d) clear transients with wp-optimize

not sure it will solve it, but that is usually issue

Welll…..

a) if you use the speed booster framework, you would put the code into the Speed Booster plugin settings per the docs for that and the example from Lucien; *and* likely any custom css into your style.css and not in theme panel; and ideally NOT use child theme, to mimize any flash of unstyled text

b) if you’re doing custom hacking of your site, you would put any functions for de/enqueue into the functions.php where all such WordPress “actions” go; then you’d manually put your style.css link in footer. The WordPress codex has good tutorial on how “enqueuing” (adding to queue) works in WP.

c) You would then use the critical CSS generator found in my thread, to put the above the fold CSS “inline” in the header.php file. This loads only the needed CSS for above the fold to load with page — no render blocking of CSS — and then the rest loads with remainder of page. — Trial and error on this stuff.

These efforts are toward solving the pesky lower score on Google PageSpeed Insights for mobile “above the fold render blocking…”

This is a bit “advanced” stuff most folks won’t tackle. But if you’ve got everything ELSE as optimized as possible, this is kind of the LAST thing to do.

And frankly, if you’re using the AMP system for mobile, for a lot of folks, this will be a non issue as Google products will be loading the AMP version vs the responsive mobile version anyway.

So, one could argue if you have a desktop score of 92 or higher, and you’re running “AMP” on your site for posts, you likely don’t need to stress as much as before on the mobile score on Google’s direct testing speed tool. 🙂

( rant over . . . ) 🙂

You might also be able to do a field conversion in phpmyadmin to merge the existing data field with the one used by WP for the “excerpt” box. Don’t have a clue the “correct” way to do that, but likely a good place to start would be the plethora of articles online about “migrating from Joomla to WordPress…”

Sorry, can’t download movies off web to my hard drive.

I don’t work here.

TagDiv will try to help.

Likely you have a configuration problem, bad plugin, or bad twitter account; nobody else having this issue.

Add proper open graph (OG) tags which FB needs to do that.

Thanks Lucian 🙂

With Speed Booster, that’s awesome.

For those who need to move the style.css to footer for above the fold critical CSS setup,

see this thread

https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/help-moving-style-css-and-fonts-googleapis-com-to-footer/

options include
a) use speed booster

b) de-enqueue the style.css
c) manually put style.css link in footer.php

So the function I provided didn’t work ?

See the theme docs, link right side of page >>

At bottom of the “how to upgrade” page is section on how to upgrade from NP4 to NP6.

I don’t work here, and maybe I don’t understand your question?

You do realize you cannot “share” anything on Twitter without actually having a working Twitter account, right?

You > twitter account login

Website > click share button > connect to your twitter account > shares to your active account timeline

You cannot share something on twitter without an account.

Getting started with Twitter:
https://support.twitter.com/articles/215585

function custom_dequeue_stylesheet() {
wp_dequeue_style( 'theme-style' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'custom_dequeue_stylesheet', 99 );

for style.css

try
function custom_dequeue_stylesheet() {
wp_dequeue_style( 'theme-style' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'custom_dequeue_stylesheet', 99 );

Put the right twitter account in your theme/plugin settings ?

Check to make sure YOUR account where you want to share something isn’t suspended, since you need a working account with Twitter to actually share something there.

Make sure you download clean copy from themeforest, and UNZIP on your PC properly, then upload THAT folder via FTP to your hosting account.

Note, you should make sure you’re using latest version of WP, as recent versions still had some nasty security issues ! 4.41 also introduced bug in pagination fixed in WP 4.42.

Your system might have a max upload size issue with zip, or time out issue — both of which can be changed in your hosting theme panel or php.ini.

Main issues are

a) search remove any alignment tags from WP like on paragraphs which should have been CSS classes

b) look for weirdo iframe syntax errors, as some of those not sure how to fix

c) make sure anything loaded from external locale is https (like YouTube, any “embeds” of ANY kind …)

the AMP plugin, + Yoast SEO, + Yoast ‘glue’ plugin can fix some stuff in meta, but NOT stuff in the content.

btw, if you’d like to syndicate some of our national news (from @send2press) let me know 😉

You can disable image sizes not being used from the theme panel; also trick is to set three of the default WP > media smaall/medium/large sizes to the sizes you use most often.

There is tutorial on how to do that …
