Did you update the plugins include with theme update also?
These are found in the ‘allfiles’ download, in the /plugins/ folder.

So, if using td-composer plugin, you need to update that along with the theme update.

That is issue with Google loading its own ads.
Check the ‘console’ view in Chrome for help with that.

Generally, you should try optimizing site with all ads turned off as the ads from Google adversely impact technical page speed, so can throw off your ‘actual’ vs ‘practical’ scoring.

Also, you don’t need to start multiple threads for same topic, usually.
(I don’t work here.)

That element is from Google Ads.
Try disabling all the Google Ads to test your ‘page speed’ …

Also try testing your post on GTmetrix.com to see all the stuff you need to optimize.

try resaving permalinks and check /amp endpoints actually work.

I went through same issue in 2014 when we migrated our sites to https everywhere. Pain. Glad you got it sorted!

DUPLICATOR plugin is best way to migrate site to new server/host.

Yes, you need to update all your content to change the http image links to https via phpmyadmin to update dbase, and also update all the links to logo, favicon, etc. in the theme panel to https versions

Works for us; however we disable gutenberg with the classic editor plugin from automattic which was included with version 4.9

Likely want to audit all installed plugins, and all fields in the theme in case you were hacked from out of date version of theme, plugins, jquery, WordPress, etc.

Also check your theme with console in chrome (F12); run ‘best practices’ checkup, look for ‘console errors’ also.

See the sections in this tutorial on cleaning hacked site:

This is a very good read:

Hi
fyi, we have been using a WP plugin over here called “FeedWordPress” which works very well. We use that with ‘Auto Post Thumbnail PRO’ to bring in a featured image from the first image in a news post.

Note that pulling in news from other sites is typically not good idea unless the site is allowed to do so. Meaning, pulling in news from LA Times would violate their copyright.

However, some ‘newswire’ services allow pulling in news for non-commercial purposes — meaning, you can’t use it to help sell MLM, socks, affiliate program junk sites, etc.

e.g., see free news feeds via RSS here:
https://www.send2press.com/wire/syndicate-our-news/

Are you looking at in mobile? The Whatsapp icon doesn’t appear on desktop – it’s a ‘mobile only’ product

Might need to clear all your caching for site (if any), resave permalinks; clear browser cache; inspect with Google Chrome after that to see if still there.

Yep. This is old issue with *all* AMP plugins; where one needs to save permalinks to enable the redirects to the /amp endpoint.

Really should be part of all AMP plugin documentation, but often is not.

Also good idea to review the changelog for each new version of WordPress before updating; as the ‘classic editor’ was noted as recommended with WP 4.9 for those who needed to maintain compatibility while testing to see if theme would work with 5.0 where Gutenberg was enabled as default.

Some folks are using TD Composer with Gutenberg, since Gutenberg is primarily for ‘posts’ while TD Composer is primarily for ‘pages’ …… just so you know; they can work together.

If you notice bug in information, likely worth doing your own post about your issue vs hijacking somebody else’s query. Your post added nothing to the actual question of what the actual latest version truly is.

Tip: you can also simply download the latest version of all files from ThemeForest and unzip and view the changelog included with each version.

People are human, so once in awhile they forget to include a note, but most of the time are on it.

Also, the ‘version’ date can vary as the date created is not always the date approved in the ThemeForest download system; and sometimes they update the same ‘version’ if there was something missing in an installer or plugin or ancillary elements unrelated to the *theme* version. So, the latest theme version showing as Date X might have an updated ‘package’ a day or two later with same version date. I’ve seen this happen with many themes.

Again, if you RTFM in the main ‘all files’ download you won’t have to go looking for things, as you already have it.

Do your current posts show the star ratings?
Reminder that if the ratings were a custom system of prior theme, those do not carry over!
If using a custom plugin for ratings – you might need to review setup for that plugin to include the necessary hook in to a template someplace.

I don’t work here; just went through this same issue couple of years back.

Upshot – any ‘custom’ elements from the prior theme don’t carry over to new theme; which is why for some stuff like ‘ratings’ it is useful to use a theme-agnostic plugin for such things (e.g., forms, ratings, reviews, ecommerce, etc.).

For TagDiv support if the issue is related to a review CREATED in the new theme, and not workin you would likely need to include a link to a post where it’s NOT working. So, first try making NEW post with ratings, then check the structured data to see if working.

For “old data” you might need to do some kind of dbase chicanery to migrate the info if still there.

Here’s example of what I did for one of our custom corporate pages (not using Newsmag, but using Bootstrap 3 + WP):

<h1>Our Daily News Desk<?php if ( $paged < 2 ) { } else { echo (' - Page '); echo ($paged);}?></h1>

<?php if($paged < 2): ?><h3> (description of topic/category here) </h3><?php endif; ?>

Thanks!
I guess this would also apply to the ‘tag’ template, and the author template as well.

Happy new year!

Note – you can check your site on emulated mobile devices using Google Chrome F12 > console – use device selector top of screen.

Make sure your ads are all ‘responsive’ ad units, not fixed sizes.

I know I posted some example code long ago, where it would do to have a “if not page 1, add the pagination” hook … but this really should be implemented in all TD themery 🙂

Old argument – and I am likely one of the biggest naysayers on child themes, personally, as it’s an additional redirect of the main CSS; further, over time, when there are ‘major’ theme updates/upgrades, the child theme has to be updated as well (kind of like pesky WooCommerce templates) — which entirely defeats their purpose beyond style over-rides.

It’s a general ‘norm’ to have child themes as part of WordPress, but ideally better to consider simply adding another css file that over-rides main theme css, and perhaps load that vs modifying sub-templates as child theme.

This is *only* my opinion, based on using WP since 2004, so I’m a bit biased based on how we used to have to tweak for speed/performance. Less of an issue now with http/2 and PHP 7.2, etc. But used to be minor speed bump to do child load on top of main load.

disable XMLRPC
https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-disable-xml-rpc-in-wordpress/

AMP requires https …

We used to have the spike issue and was related to
a) older version of PHP (e.g., 5x)
b) using WPBakery vs TD Composer
c) too many different modules on each page (too many queries)
d) running page counter plugin at same time as built in page counter (double overhead)
e) super complex mega menus with too many queries
f) not ‘security hardening’ the site — meaning, you need to disable stuff like XLMRPC if possible, use ‘limit login attempts’ and follow the security tutorial I did — as XMLRPC hits happen every day probing site for attack vectors and this also causes large system use. (Seriously – XMLRPC should be off unless you’re running personal blog.)
