Then you need to properly install theme. You upgrade theme by deleting old folder and uploading new one, not merging them. See the docs on how to upgrade.

This is, sadly, how WordPress works – when you upgrade to new theme, it disables the widgets as possibly being incompatible, since site would error if widgets included with one theme loaded without code from the prior theme. Normally, WP puts those at bottom of your widgets areas as “disabled” and you need to drag them back to the relevant sidebars.

Funnily enough, this is partly why I personally moved to Newsmag. It is more of a pure news/magazine theme and not a swiss army knife — on the other hand, Newspaper is the TD “flagship” and folks want to be able to do anything with it, hence the top seller status.

@pedropapito – you might checkout TD’s other theme “Newsmag” which (thankfully) continues to be a bit more focused on a simple “news portal” — more similar to Newspaper v1 and v2.

Some plugins ‘hook’ into the admin panel to add information or status elements on the main admin screen, the post settings page, and obviously to add a menu item on left side of the admin — any plugin that does that has to be active to access the admin panel, so would impact loading the admin panel.

sometimes plugins cause issues if they load different, alternate versions of jQuery; so often you can contact the plugin author to see what the error might be. You can also turn on ‘debug mode’ in WP, then activate plugin, then report errors to the plugin dev.

What is the error item(s) ?

This really should be on a “frequently asked questions” page as it’s been asked/answered 100+ times the past 4 years, and my answer above is still valid today.

Theme has no control over whether content is fetched or not. If your open graph and related data is there, and page is not throwing console errors, it’s entirely up to the social media system to ‘capture’ the content. FB routinely has issues with timeouts every couple of months. Google+ was busted one day last week; FB can get overloaded, too.

Often when this happens on FB; your *only* option is to retry later once their system is back to 100%, or you can try the save, then use the “refresh attachment” option on the FB post. I have to do this from time to time.

Again – all you can do is make sure your tags are there. You cannot ‘force’ any other site to do anything with your content. Their system has to do the heavy lifting.

If you want to hack the theme, you might need to hire a developer to use custom menu systems in place of those included with theme.

Did you test it using the Chrome browser console view?

Did you visit the /amp/ endpoint for one of your URLs to make sure it’s working.

AMP is not part of theme, so you might want to read up on how it works, what it’s for, and visit the forum for the plugin.

Is your browser AMP compatible?
Did you verify your posts are AMP compatible via Google?
Did you resubmit your sitemap to Google so they can rescan to see AMP pages?

AMP only works in compatible devices, and if Google caches it and serves it on slow connections or popular posts. It’s not just plug and play.

Tweets embed just fine in your two page examples above. The content might be prohibited from your locale, isp filtering, or ad blocker app.

I dont think comments normally work on pages with wordpress, only posts.

The Automattic Amp plugin works great with theme. You need to resave permalinks after activation. Then the /amp/ endpoint works.

I usually just edit the template part for the specific page template I happen to be using.

Did you install the child theme, which is optional?

It’s activated just like any normal plugin. You get ‘bundled version’ with the theme, but you don’t get separate ‘support license’ with WP Bakery. You could buy one if you wish, but it’s not included in price of theme. See theme docs on how to setup the plugin 🙂

Happy holidays.
(I don’t work here)

I think it’s only designed for use on ‘pages’ — where you’d have company info, products/services, calls to action, landing pages, etc. — for “posts” which would normally be an article/opinion/review, I don’t think you can use it (yet).

Perhaps share the exact example of the original menu setting, and then the new setting you are trying to do which is breaking your menus?

Yes, if you remove all Google fonts, and use system fonts; or use only one font site wide it will be faster as less things to be loaded.

It’s pretty much on or off; I turn it off as it messes with iPad in Safari view, and end up with blank images.

Need to add open graph tags for facebook.

Consider yoast seo, or all in on seo ,or similar plugin.

Current supported bundle version is in

‘all files download’ for theme, from themeforest, in the /plugins/ folder 🙂

Simply uncheck the sizes you don’t need from theme > theme panel options

you can ALSO change the default sizes in wp > admin > media to ‘0’

For sidebar, why not use a widget ?

header.php ?
