Why not just “place” the ad as a graphic using normal HTML at bottom of the post box itself?

Looks like you have issue with how you’re loading content on your site.
We’re not having this issue with OUR sites, so totally an issue on YOUR end.

I’m sure TagDiv will take a look when they’re back in to try to help you, but it’s not a theme problem.

Try watching the demo install video in theme docs.

If that was not your question, sorry for butting in !

TagDiv team back on Monday 🙂

Heh. They gave me a little “red/gold crown” for helping out 😉

I usually pop in here for a little bit while waking up, or while waiting for something to FTP to server, and got sick of watching the “progress window” .. so little bit of a time waster / karma points / or whatever. (Right now I’m uploading bunch of mods to the CMS I’m working on for our corporate site trying to integrate a YOURLS shortcode system into ‘printing’ the code into the social share buttons “on template” …

I disappear for long periods, but since I have multiple sites, and have been doing webdev for 21 years and WordPress for 11-12 years now, I’m usually at the “front” of the line in delving into new stuff like mod_pagespeed, http/2, AMP, or whatever. I guess I was also one of the folks who helped make the “shim” happen for disabling visual composer that Radu did, since one horrible series of VC versions crashed our server. Been around here with them longer than most, I guess.

Anyway – sometimes I have a “highly experienced” comment based on having to deal with a problem for “years” that many here haven’t had to suffer. Of course, some people get mad when I disagree with their comments (whining?) — but not too many of those, thankfully.

So, anyway — gingerbread cookies accepted in my virtual tip jar!

Back to the salt mine!

Make sure you paste the correct code snippets into the theme panel and then they do work ! Make sure you toggle them to be “on” also.

I would put the “official” version into your wp-config.php as this explicitly tells WordPress which version to serve, and do its own soft redirects, as noted in my very first reply 😉

Hi, note i don’t work here and not part of TagDiv — I started using Newspaper back in late 2013 ? As their thinking was exactly what I was building from scratch, at the time it was very bootstrap oriented, and they were further along. I kind of ‘adopted’ them, hence my lurking in here with advice 🙂

I guess with the featured video code, try putting it into the AMP plugin, exactly the same way it gets dropped into the featured video template?

See what happens ?

We’ve been using AdRotate longer than TagDiv in business, so was obvious choice for us 😉

https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-getting-started-with-accelerated-mobile-pages-amp/

Make sure those are not ‘curly quotes’

eg

Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"

http://enable-cors.org/server_apache.html

Presuming you made the setting in your Google Search Console to tell Google that www is preferred version?

Also, from my prior answer to your question on this (heavy sigh) … did you add the explicit version of your prefereed URL to your wp-config.php file?

If you do, then WP will do the redirect automatically since that will be part of its internal rewriting engine and then you would not need the 301 redirect.

Also, do search/replace in your dbase for all images linked without the www to add the www, update any custom menus, etc.

Last reply on this topic from me. You seem to keep reposting things vs updating your original thread. So, “I’m out” on support for this topic. Good luck!

You can of course do that in a post, if OEMBED supports it (not part of theme, but built into WP).

For the theme, you’d have to edit the functions file/includes file where that’s located.

TagDiv can help with that when back in.

See the theme docs.

Depends on what kind of ads you’re using.

If you place an Adsense unit in there, of course it rotates (meaning it changes each time page loads).

If you place static image into your ad panel, then of course not.

SO, no, the theme — like most themes — does not include an advertising management system to rotate, track, sell or otherwise manage ads beyond the “spots/hooks” included in the theme.

See theme docs for more info 🙂

For tech heads … by massively hacked … we are

– changing wp-content to /assets/
– changing author slug to profile
– removing /category/ slug
– hacked theme name and dependencies to our local branding
– local loading vs CDN of font awesome and jquery for optimzation/opcache in prep for https/2 update to server
– highly compressed html, js, css
– highly optimized wp-config.php file
– if single/ head removal of js/css only intended for home page
– locked down php disabling in core WP folders for security
– complete removal of all comment code
– complete removal of all XML-RPC code
– complete rewrite of local default search to load from paid Google Search Engine (GSE), including from URL search string and default WP search box
– local loading of author/client avatar, captured from gravatar but hosted locally and cached
– custom “more posts from author” function and placement
– custom breadcrumbs since our CMS is in sub-dir, main static site one level up for actual ‘home’
– custom author box to print as plug into after post meta to appear on AMP version of page including link to author/client site and top four socials (rel=nofollow and target blank)
– custom data fields with ACF5 Pro
– custom hook to our YOURLS install to pull in custom shortcode, drop into post meta, for sharing
– custom local functions, CSS, for social sharing buttons that grab YOURLS shortcode
– (and like etcetera)

so, you think you’re confused ? Welcome to my brain right now ! 🙂

Best bet is to only use the AMP plugin from Automattic as it’s the one being developed for all the WP VIP customers (e.g., TIME) and working with Google more closely than random plugin developers can do. It also adds built in support for those using JetPack, and has a simple template system and ability to change fonts, etc.

Highly recommended, and check the AMP plugin support threads for “edge” solutions as they happen.

Any other plugin you’re using, you’ll need to address the plugin developer for help.

( My company not currently available for work, as we are rebuilding our corporate CMS with a massively hacked version of WordPress right now …. as well as optimizing AMP for our news network sites …. overloaded to put it politely and working on the weekend *again* [sigh] )

Everybody learning to use AMP right now (we started with BETA last November hence why I’m a little ahead of most folks on it!). Seriouusly consider sticking with what might be called the “official” WP AMP plugin. The other stuff, including PageFrog, buggy as hell (see support threads for problems).

“It’s not a job, it’s an adventure.”

Did you change the default memory allocated to WP in your wp-config.php file ?

Did you check a post page at GTmetrix.com to make sure you have proper gzip/deflate running as well as expiration headers, consider using a caching plugin for site?

Or, to clarify – some things which hook into the post content, such as some author box plugins, or related post plugins, which hook onto end of the content block *will* show up in AMP automatically.

Be careful of paragraph alignment tags which WP stupidly still uses for old browsers and should have been changed to alignment classes at least 2 years ago. SO, centered paragraph tags and such will have to be search/replaced. Luckily images use an alignment tag properly when placed via the post insert media setting.

Very old non https YouTube/Vimeo links will need updating from http to https…

etc.

Read the docs on the AMP plugin as good first step.

AMP only loads content in the actual content box. Anything else “outside” the post, you have to add by editing the AMP plugin template. This solution makes it easier for people with different needs, templates, custom post types, etc., to enable what they want — which varies from site to site.

AMP is not required, but will get some bump in mobile search with the little AMP lightning bolt next to SERPS listings and also appear in the news carousel, where non-AMP versions will not.

YOAST SEO and Glue addon are useful for dropping in additional things to align the AMP version with the main version of post, default image, etc.

It’s all still a work in progress obviously. First step is actually having AMP pages so Google can see you’re moving to AMP, then they will “see” that and add AMP spidering to your Search Console for review.

The setting right below Admin is supposed to have rights to edit, change posts, unless you have plugin or function which broke that. Admin level allows adding plugins, removing plugins, changing main settings, changing theme. The user role below that allows all content options except main “admin” functions.

Summary of Roles
Super Admin – somebody with access to the site network administration features and all other features. See the Create a Network article.
Administrator – somebody who has access to all the administration features within a single site.
Editor – somebody who can publish and manage posts including the posts of other users.
Author – somebody who can publish and manage their own posts.
Contributor – somebody who can write and manage their own posts but cannot publish them.
Subscriber – somebody who can only manage their profile.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities

You can create a new user role, or change the setting of each user role.

But “editor” by default can make changes.

To change the settings for Visual Composer, which is not part of the theme or WordPress, you can change the user roles for Visual Composer also.

There is a wealth of documentation for VC, which is worth reviewing at some point :-0

https://vc.wpbakery.com/video-academy/control-user-group-access-visual-composer-wordpress/

https://vc.wpbakery.com/blog/advanced-user-role-management-in-visual-composer/

Hope that helps 🙂

Use a plugin like AdRotate or similar.

Per your prior post, and others — see the Google page I’ve linked to.

You “should” always have canonical link in all HTML pages.

If you’re using YOAST SEO, it’s there. Look at your page source 🙂

Canonical URL in your HEAD area of each page on your site SHOULD be the “official” version of the page, as I noted previously. 🙂

Theme does fully support AMP, but any customizations you need have to be made to the actual AMP template provided with the AMP plugin.

So, best bet is to try inserting the video into the template itself either from custom field, or pull the field from the video post type?

Then check validation tool from Google … be careful of some funky stuff with iframes, everything MUST be https if loaded from external location, and there cannot be any inline styles like align tags on paragraphs vs using a class.

Not sure that answered your question, but luckily it’s easy to mod the AMP template. 🙂

Theme supports AMP via the plugin made by the same people who make WordPress.

Using YOAST SEO, AMP plugin, and Yoast AMP Glue, our sites are working very very well with AMP.
