You do realize it has nothing to do with the theme, right ?

Uploading a zip file to your WordPress site is managed by your web host, not the theme! Any theme will have this issue if it’s a decent size.

Also note with some hosts

(1)
The maximum size is controlled by two PHP settings: upload_max_filesize, and post_max_size.

(2)
If running Apache with .htaccess file,
this “might” work adding these lines
php_value upload_max_filesize 10M
php_value post_max_size 10M
php_value max_execution_time 500
php_value max_input_time 500

Likely good idea to check with your hosting provider, as that isn’t specifically theme related.

Also, I’ve found it actually works best to manually upload the theme files via FTP than to use the zip method due to sometimes “funky” permissions issues with different hosting providers. I’ve been using WP since 2006 (2005?) and the FTP method always works best, in my own experience, even now that we have our own web server.

This is likely not the culprit, but, for the zip, also make sure you’re only trying to install from the single theme file (Newspaper.zip) and not the “entire download” file (themeforest-XXXXXXX-newspaper.zip) which has the docs, plugins, changelog, PSD file, etc., as that won’t ever work.

The v4.5 Newspaper.zip file, btw, should be roughly 6.41MB (6,727,456 bytes).

Yes, pagination in a couple of places not working right. Seems to work for me on the main index, but on the My Profile topics list, going to page 2+ gives not found error.

You should likely learn to use YOAST SEO, as this allows you to build proper site maps for Google for your site, and let them know which pages NOT to index, and which are a priority. E.g., not index tags and categories, and only index posts.

Google keeps track of when the story was first indexed so you cannot hide that from them or other sites like archive.org which may index your content, etc., however you can remove the date stamp from your post pages (there are instructions in the forum, if you search; or wait for Marius or Lucian to reply with help).

You should also learn to use Google Webmaster tools as this identifies which pages have been indexed, you can deprecate (push down) pages, and submit your sitemap once you have YOAST (or similar) fully configured.

Works great with wordpress 4x…
You may need to make sure you follow install instructions, and make sure you install visual composer included with theme.

If using cache or cdn you need to fully clear all caches to ensure loading of updated content.

Usually this is due to a rogue plugin, or shortcode in sidebar, etc.

This is a responsive theme; there is no “non responsive” option as far as I know. It’s designed so that it will better viewed by Google which now “dings” non-responsive/mon-mobile friendly sites, and for compatibility on iphones, tablets, as well as desktop.

You can create a “boxed” layout, simply by putting in a background color or image for the theme. You might try that first and see if it suits your needs?

Latest versions of Firefox on both Mac/PC have some oddities in parsing Ajax and “compressed” or minified content. We ran into this with our ecom system with mod_SPDY running on our server; works great in every OS, browser, etc., EXCEPT for Firefox, with no workaround I could figure out. Might be issue with current build — since if it works in Chrome and Safari (latest), it should work everywhere … but Firefox … maybe not.

So, some kind of minification or compression or other thing causes Firefox to get lost in some way, and only solution we’ve found right now, is to turn off the optimizations so Firefox sees the complete HTML and can read everything in the right order; or it just won’t work with some things.

HOPING the next version will fix that. (Upshot — might not be just you!)

I don’t think the image caption works with “full screen” featured images. For those kinds of images, in all themes, we have always simply put the caption in the body of the text. I’m sure Lucian or Marius will help in how to perhaps modify how that works for you.

This may not help, but you can go to My Profile top right, then it will show you a list of topics you have created.

There is an author list widget for use in the sidebar.

actually it’s a similar procedure for ANY plugin as tech support outlined here
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/move-fb-comments-after-post/

I think you’d need to put the shortcode from the plugin above the comments area in the template for the post layout you’re using. Lucian or Marius can likely give you more specifics on which file to edit if you’re not sure.

Money in hand. Sell me some 😉

You can also simply use the control panel in Yoast, which allows you to insert the page number, site name, category name, short description with page number, etc., dynamically …

this is done as follows by example (for those who can’t read the docs) — and you don’t need to edit your functions.php file each update

under > SEO > Titles & Metas > Taxonimies

e.g., for categories
Title
%%term_title%% Archives %%page%% %%sep%% Name of my Awesome Magazine site
Description
%%term_title%% Archives %%page%% %%sep%% My Awesome Magazine | Read cool stuff on our magazine related to %%term_title%% on mysite.com

You can adjust that using the various code examples provided by Yoast for their plugin.

I don’t think you can edit the jetpack comments elements as they load from the jetpack website/cloud. It loads in an iframe and isn’t actually “on” your site. Supposedly there is a custom CSS editor built in to Jetpack, which allows you to change colors or whatever, but not sure you can edit textual elements. Likely good to try the Jetpack support forum as it’s not part of the theme.

http://jetpack.me/support/comments/

You can also change the “Leave a Reply” heading and the color scheme of the Jetpack Comments form under the Settings → Discussion menu.

I don’t think you can make the thumb function write to different folder since it hooks into the WP image builder and uses that /path/to/files … you might be able to edit the plugin to only build specific sizes vs pulling that from the theme functions, dunno. You can also trim the sizes built by theme by editing the functions.php file (search forum for how to on that). So, instead of 3 sizes from WP and 7 sizes from theme, you can usually line up the WP media small/medium/large to the 3 sizes you use most, then keep couple of sizes from functions; but delete the sizes from modules you don’t use.

Not sure that helps, but food for thought anyway.

You cannot optimize code running on twitter’s servers unfortunately.

View the source of your pages to see if the no index tag is actually there; also be aware google may still index pages anyway.

Use Yoast to set different titles and descriptions for all your sub index pages (see the Yoast SEO help for how to do that). This is actually one of the purposes of Yoast, to generate unique titles and descriptions for all the month, day, year, page 3,4,5, indexes.

And may i add a … Woo hoo!

h4 in sidebar elements is not bad for SEO, as it’s an element of semantic web to use h4 and h5 for marginal headers to offset them from simply strong elements. They are still headers and semantically relevant with h tag for google/bing.

There are many articles on this topic online, but this one is likely the simplest:

Probably a caching issue. Try resetting your caching plugin or/and CDN data, if using any of that — 99% of the time it’s the culprit!

Ah. You are correct … there *are* a lot of user fields there (!). I have a hunch you can likely remove those from the functions.php file, but perhaps Marius or Lucian will have the de-facto answer on that.

I would check the WPML support or user forums

eg.,
