We use responsive theme + AMP over here; no mobile specific theme.

7.2 is ‘recommended’ by WP, but not ‘required.’

Most sites are still running 5.6x and some are now on 7.1x; many are testing 7.2, but a lot of WP stuff not compatible (e.g., I did 7.2 test, and one WooCommerce plugin for MailChimp won’t work without 7.2, but the PDF invoice plugin from Woo, won’t work with 7.2 … which I think they are working on …)

Try setting your PHP version to 7.1 vs 7.2 for now.

A new version of NP coming soon with updated TD Composer.

( I don’t work here. )

Also good to check the THEME compatibility info, not the WP compatibility info.

Note you can add any type of CSS to your website pretty easily…

simple accordions

The Envato plugin never worked right for me.

Best to learn to do it via FTP, that way you have backup in case something breaks!

Works for me 🙂
But as noted, always make backups prior to any WP update; also useful to look at the changelog for WP to see what was actually changed/fixed.

For example the latest update simply fixes a bug in the update from couple days back where the ‘auto updater’ was broken.

You can change theme folder name, you just need to do it the correct way per the WordPress.org codex/docs.

Basically you can’t just change the folder name, you also need to change the stylesheet name in the main style sheet in theme folder, and put in explicit location of theme folder in your wp-config.php file.

I do this with the newsmag theme with no trouble.

You would then need to activate the *new* theme.

Might be all the changes WordPress is making to PHP support this month.

not sure the issue – but the thing I used to miss when first using TDC in beta, was making changes to the layout in the editor, then going back to the ‘page’ – remember to *save* the page itself, not just save the code *to* the page from TDC. Have to do both. 🙂

That was my ‘doh’ thing originally. Might not be your issue, but super easy to forget that.

Why not just just use the official AMP plugin now? We’ve been using it for nearly 2 years with TagDiv themes with zero issue.

Also note the WP update today (Feb 6) fixes some issues with Customizer.

PHP 5.6 still works perfectly for WordPress.

PHP 7.1x got huge number of updates this week, so that can also be used.

WordPress 4.9.3 update today fixes a number of WP-specific bugs with PHP 7.2, so good to try using that to see if it fixes some of the problems.

We use ‘WP-PostViews’ over here and disable the them page/post counters function.

If it has a post assigned to it you cannot delete it. Usually if you look at list of categories it would show number of posts assigned to it as well.

Theme does not control ‘serving’ of ads, only putting ad code into the spots.

Ads must still be served from google servers, and sometimes simply don’t work.

Nothing to do with theme.

a) Google News uses open graph tags -and- your Google News Sitemap (diff. from main sitemap)

b) Google News will use images within the post meta, not images outside the body text, such as ‘featured’ images used as backgrounds or outside the bounds of the story as they cannot differentiate those from ads

c) Google News will not use images which are too small, copied from other sites with same name, too much text, or time out on load (too large in bytes, like over 100kb)

Theme cannot control any of that.
You would need to look at the Google News support forums and/or put in a support ticket with Google News folk.

Check again the image listed in your Google news sitemap – not main sitemap — make sure it actually loads from the link. Check your Google search console for errors, try resubmitting and TESTING your GN sitemap for errors. If no errors, then it’s all correct.

Aside from my suggestions on the thread linked to and the simple A-B-C *facts* noted above, nothing the them devs can do to help. Not a theme issue, other than how content used. Period. Full stop.

Hope that helped someplace.

You can’t use TD Composer to edit posts; use the built-in WP post editor for posts. Then use TDC for custom ‘pages’ such as about us, landing page, services, fancy stuff.

Sorry if that didn’t help. I don’t work here.

You can disable three of the images create by WordPress by going to admin > media > and then setting all the sizes to ‘0’ … these three sizes made by WP, not the theme.

I think there are plugins which allow you to publish some stats from Google Analytics onto a page such as “Audience Overview” — more commonly used to court advertisers.

Try the WordPress.org plugin repository. 🙂

Google will skip images which may be copied from other sources, already in their index; they may skip images which look like ad banners (‘too much text’), or which have too little photo data (e.g., a gif converted to jpeg might only be 16 colors; vs thousands of colors in a proper photographic image). Images which may contain meta data and not optimized for web may also be skipped.

FYI, Google AMP now ‘requires’ images be at least 696 pixels wide, which means all sites should generally consider moving up from 600x and 640x to 696 (696 is presuming 700 pixel container with one pixel border, for those non technical folks wondering about that). Google News doesn’t yet have this requirement, but it’s something to consider. if the image is too small, they may skip it and use something else.

Similarly – using generic file names is a huge nono. “Image12345.jpg” is bad. “180202-jeg-696×522.jpg” is good. Also, your image file names should always have the dimensions in there, for best results.

Hope that helps.

Use Google Analytics; it’s free.

Post Views is just a ‘dumb’ hit counter and tracks nothing else, nor can it.

You can also use built-in visitor tracking metrics included with all hosting services of worth; which can tell you stuff like number of page views per day/month, number of unique visitors, etc.

I don’t think .csv supported. Also, make sure file names have no spaces, only one period, and extension ideally lowercase

e.g.,
WRONG: myfile& name 27.XLSX
RIGHT: myfileand-name27.xlsx

ALSO -worth noting if your host is using some kind of minification setup; that best to turn that off if it’s trying to rewrite javascript or CSS.

And, obviously, good to disable stuff like ad blockers or other shenanigans or extensions in Web browser ‘blocking’ page elements.

Right now I can’t share social items on Google News because Chrome’s own stupid popup blockers are blocking Google News from popping up share box (!!). *sigh*
