There really is no permanent solution unless you block Google from accessing your site during updates, as this happens during the update process.

In other words, nothing on your site normally links to that location, and it’s NOT part of your XML sitemap. So, it doesn’t hurt to have that temporary 404 error.

In my case I mark as fixed, then I don’t see it again for 6 months.

If you are getting the error “all the time” — that’s not normal.

However you do not want a readable page at the /newspaper/ location — as that is not a public part of the site. You can try to create a hack on your site to give a different kind of error like “not authorized” (e.g., “401 error”).

Anyway — just some food for thought. Not a theme related issue, so you might want to google it.

rel=canonical is good to have on every page/post — it identifies which URL is the actual one and is useful in various things used by Google.

If you’re not interested in comments, likely not good to post on a forum for replies 😉

We have not updated to the 3x version of Yoast being happy with the 2x branch. This seems to be a common refrain from the many users this month.

You cannot “irritate” Google with having a canonical tag on every page of your site; they expressly recommend doing this site wide. It also helps with pagination for archives, and with other pages on the web with similar headlines for the bot to better identify the right thread for what site, and various other things separate from the XML sitemap(s).

If you’re new to all of this Google has a huge repository of “official” wisdom, policies, and examples so you don’t need to rely on hearsay, junk WP article sites setup to sell affiliate links, or comments on forums (ahem).

To wit, and perhaps of some help on the subject, per Google’s official “content guidelines” for 2015:

Use canonical URLs

This article describes how you can use canonical URLs to improve link and ranking signals for content available through multiple URL structures or via syndication.

In the world of content management and online shopping systems, it's common for the same content to be accessed through multiple URLs. With content syndication, it's also easy for content to be distributed to different URLs and domains entirely.

Always throws me too when I see that in my webmaster tools. 🙂

They really should have option to “ignore this error in future” — but it keeps happening couple times a year.

Once in a blue moon you might also get an error like that from a robot probing the folder to see if the directory is readable, but same issue. if you get one every once in awhile not a big deal.

Just ignore it. Mark it as fixed and move on with your life.

This happens sometimes during site updates if Google “reads” the links to certain things and WP redirects to a location it shouldn’t. Very common with theme updates and WP updates during the shift in and out of “maintenance mode.”

Did you clear all your caching? (if using any caching plugins you must always clear caching before/after major updates). Did you try resaving the home page modules to clear transients? Clear your browser caching? These are most common causes. If you’re using any plugins like Jetpack’s image optimizer (Photon), try turning that OFF. If you’re using any other plugin that changes content on the fly (such as a “rocket” plugin orservice, you need to cleasr/reset that for new updates).

Well, your site is messed up. Nobody here can help you with the back end.

Switch to default twenty-fifteen theme.
Make backup of all your site files via FTP; make backup of dbase via phpmyadmin.

Clear cache; disable cache plugins. Delete cache plugins. Delete any additions to the htaccess file from the caching plugins if yours do that for custom rewrites.

a) disable and remove all plugins except for Visual Composer – a bad, compromised, hacked, broken plugin can break other stuff; rename the plugins folder xplugins to reset for WP
b) install CLEAN version of WP via FTP (delete the wp-admin, wp-includes; all the root WP files except config); upload the new ones from the wordpress.org zip download
c) login to WP; rename plugins folder back to plugins
d) turn on visual composer
e) turn on the TagDiv theme

See where you’re at.

You might look at the docs for wp on wordpress.org on how to setup categories. You can put content into any category, then when setting up menus and page block layouts you can choose what categories are seen at top of and on home and dategory pages.

False positives. Not actually malware.
All content on ThemeForest is very rigorously inspected before you can download it.

Be sure to change your password for superuser account if not already done.

You should ideally replace all plugins, clean install of WordPress, clean install of theme, etc. to be safe.

Do updates via FTP and not the Envato toolkit.

Have your host do a security scan for any rootkit — remove any plugins you don’t recognize; check your htaccess for any malicious code.

Read those 3 links suggested in detail to be safe.

Only you can repair/correct/salvage your website — it’s not theme specific. While folks here can give advice, only you can clean up, repair and then properly secure your WP install.

Well, to update NEWSMAG, note the theme docs; link right side of page >>>>>

Note the section ‘updating theme’ …
https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/

Hi
see the theme docs, right side of page link >>>>

see the installation section ‘how to install demos’ including video:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-installing-demos/

hope that helped! 🙂

Usually a conflict with something else; try turning off the mobile option in Jetpack if using that; disable any “mobile” plugins. Theme is responsive so mobile by default.

Maybe check to see if your hosting company “changed” something like going to PHP 7 or some other oddball thing; since WP cannot “suddenly” change overnight — meaning one day it works, next day it does not, unless something changed in your plugins, settings, or at hosting level.

They will probably tell you the same thing; just saving you some time since they won’t be back in until Monday.

I usually upload via FTP, as the “decompress, delete, write new folder” process can “time out” on some systems if your settings for php are not set to run long enough.

Best way is to decompress the zip on your hard drive, then upload via FTP to the theme folder.

Seriously, it will save you broken themes, nightmares, and other pain and suffering in the long run!

Yes, you need to install via FTP it looks like for your setup.

grow up sometime this century, why don’t you?

I don’t recommend the envato plugin — never works right for me.

You need to upload the single Newsmag folder — not the whole newsmag-tf folder as that includes docs, psd file, changelog etc.

See the docs right side of page on how to upgrade theme.

No idea. I don’t work here; just some feedback.

Why not try one and see how it goes, then share your info with us here ?

I have not seen anybody post here anything about using an app plugin yet over the past 2 years. So, you would be breaking new ground.

Great – did you try any of them yet?

Here’s an article you might read, also:
http://www.wpexplorer.com/wordpress-website-app/

Some of that you can control from the theme panel under “post settings.”

Some is controlled via the main functions file inside the /theme/includes/forgetnamefunction.php (sorry forget exact name).

TagDiv folk will have much better answer when back in the office 🙂

Update to newest version of theme posted today; or do the hack to the one section of code found in another thread on here from the past 2 days.

Bug impacts category pages which do NOT have the big grid, apparently.
