Check your site with console for javascript errors which would cause ads to not show…
make sure you’re not using an adblocker on your browser.

You can do this by going to the WP admin panel > posts > categories > hover mouse over edit button for a category and see the URL which includes the “ID” …

or .. a very cool plugin I just now discovered!
https://wordpress.org/plugins/reveal-ids-for-wp-admin-25/

You can control the meta title and description for the category/archive page 2,3,4 in Yoast SEO; there is specific setting to do that 🙂 I believe it also works for posts.

Theme doesn’t control the meta data like what you’re asking.

You can also try the updated beta checker here:
https://validator.w3.org/nu/

note the old checker has some issues with HTML5, modern markup, CSS3 using classes in certain ways, etc.

One thing you can do, too … is make full backup of dbase at server level; make full backup of site via FTP.

Run the update on WooCommerce, then check to see if any theme files need to be manually updated for new hooks in the Newspaper/woocommerce (or wherever that is) folder. It will tell you if something changed on the status report screen in WooC.

If you can’t get it to work, then simply “roll back” your version of WooCommerce from the backup you took via FTP. Any problems with that, then resurrect the mysql dbase from backup.

I will be doing this Saturday on our site, to see what happens 😉

Also note most web server control panels now allow you to setup a redirect in the domain/hosting setting. This sets a site wide 301 redirect to new domain. This is commonly built in now to many panels (e.g., Plesk) so that you can control trademark domains/domain changes, and parallel domains (e.g., like we have send2.press redirects to send2press.com, etc.). 🙂

Some panels also allow you to create aliases for the landing domain, and then the duplicate domain points to same IP in the nameserver/DNS setup.

You might ask your web host about this, assuming both domains are on same server.

Additionally, many name registrars also allow you to do this so you don’t even need to have the redirect domain hosted anywhere at all — meaning, no hosting, no account, no htaccess; simply the domain itself redirects to the new domain at registar level (GoDaddy, etc. have this feature).

Anyway — food for thought (we have trimmed our domains from 850 to 250, but still you should see my Excel spreadsheet on this … ugh!!!)

Well, normally in a post you would wrap anchor links on words or visible URLs in HTML links as per normal writing with HTML … meaning typing normal My Cool Link

However, if you are not comfortable actually writing HTML …
there are some plugins on WordPress.org —

a) one of them makes all visible links into live links without having to do them manually —

Auto-hyperlink URLs

b) the other one makes all external links into “rel=nofollow” which we need for some sites where we have press releases but not original text (meaning, we make the press releases, but google requires all press release text to be rel=nofollow)

WP External Links

///they are on wordpress.org if you do a search.

Also good to “view source” to SEE what actual meta data is on the page for the meta title, meta description and make sure the title on page is set as H1 and not H2. Google may scrape the title on page in favor of any meta data.

If you mean the meta TITLE and DESCRIPTION tags … those are best done using a plugin like YOAST SEO, as recommended in the docs.

For posts, the description tag is usually picked up from the excerpt. For pages, simply put something in the excerpt box. For the home page, you need to use a plugin like Yoast to “insert” and customize that for your static page.

YOAST SEO really best solution to manage all the meta data for posts, pages, homepage, categories, etc.

If you corrupted your database, you may need to go to a backup copy of your site from before you corrupted it.

a) check your site name is correct in the WordPress admin panel
b) check your website is correct in your wp-config.php if it has been listed implicitly
c) resave permalinks in WP admin panel

Test your site using the default Twenty Fifteen theme and make sure your site WORKS before attempting to reinstall the Newsmag theme!

If you are using two site licenses and want to copy settings from one site to the next, you can try using the export function in the theme panel to export basic “settings” from one site to another.

You should look at a plugin called DUPLICATOR which is designed to move a site to a new domain name. See: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/

Theme support doens’t cover moving sites from one domain to another.

In broad strokes, you might back up your mysql dbase on base site, then install clean version of WordPress on your new domain name, then import the old dbase into the new dbase — then edit dbase to search/replace old instances of the old domain name to change to new one (if you have images placed into posts for example).

The WordPress site has some info on this, but hiring somebody to run the DUPLICATOR plugin is the best way to move site.

See the WordPress documentation for more info here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

You can go from 4 to 6, but you will need the dbase converter, which i think you now have to request from tagdiv support. They will answer on monday.

See the sticky post on the file you can edit due to the bug introduced by wordpress 4.11

Simply edit the 404 template however you want.
You could create a new query to select a different category you create like 404 featured .. Or whatever. Or just hand edit html to put links to anything.

Permalinks managed by wordpress, not theme.
Check to see if you have old bad data in your htaccess file or perhaps have a bad plugin messing with your site.

Useful to learn to use the console view in Chrome to highlight page elements to show classes in use other than looking at page source.

Bump doesnt do anything.

User roles are managed by WordPress, not the theme. You may need to use a plugin to manage advanced user roles if not wanting to use default settings from the link @catalin provided above.

I think the user role “editor” works for adding embeds — oembed is a standard feature on posts in WordPress. Embeds work if it’s a supported format, and if you enter that on the correct editor tab.

Meaning, sometimes if you paste a Video URL from MS word on the visual editor, for example, it won’t embed because it’s wrapped in HTML when converted; so that has to be done on the text editor tab.

If you have cleared and reset any caching plugin and didn’t help, then …

Your best bet is to do a clean install of the theme. Upload the theme via FTP (don’t use the pokey Envato updater), upload the updated plugins included with theme — then login and make sure you can login.

Make sure you have full backup before doing anything.

********You should login now and CHANGE your login/password as this is not a secure location, meaning anybody with forum access could login to your system right now.******

Ask hosting co to ensble GD library…

Turn off the lazy loading feature, as it seems to conflict with some browsers when cache is full, slow connection, etc. This can be disabled in theme panel.

You might need to be more specific ?
Self hosted, YOuTube, Vimeo ??

Might be problem with Chrome. Be sure to clear your cache/history in Chrome from time to time. Make sure it’s updated to latest version.

See the theme docs on how to update.
You can’t automatically update from WordPress theme panel as it’s not hosting on WordPress.org.

I’m not having any issues in EDGE including your website loaded immediately.

Be sure to clear your caching in Edge if you switched themes and CSS.
