I use AdRotate here.

You can use any ad program, but you might need to insert the shortcodes into templates, or sidebar widgets vs using the theme ad system. You can use the ‘custom ads’ option, since I believe that is just basic HTML – so any HTML you can insert for your ad system can go there.

Using final version of Newsmag 3.x works fine – just updated one site; doing the rest.
Have not yet updated NM 4x site so no idea, but presumably yes.

As always — and as noted on the WP update page — always always make backup of your dbase and website before *all* major updates so you can roll back if there is problem or glitch in your server setup.

Switch to text edit mode and just delete the html for the image.

If using a template pulling featured image, you would need to delete featured image from that box on post edit page. Basic part of wordpress and not theme specific.

They did do a Yoast SEO plugin update today, so you might retry that.

@nicobros — It’s not TagDiv’s responsibility to fix issues with other plugins, obviously. If the meta data is on your page, then that’s what Google reads. Theme doesn’t “stop Google” from reading your content. If it’s there, it’s there. Duh.

We’re not having any issues with our sites.

Of course, Google routinely has problems — today (11/15/17) they are not pulling in posts via Feedburner and auto-posting to Twitter from any of our sites. That isn’t theme related either, but issue with Google/Feedburner.

make sure you add the config file element in right place and without any wrong character encoding (best to save out as utf-8 plain text file with unix line breaks if using linux server). If editing the wp-config.php file causes error, likely a culprit in where you’re adding that or how saving the file.

Theme of course has no control over that, so you might also want to check the forum for the plugin, since they likely have more support info — TagDiv doesn’t make the plugin, obviously.

But check the file and how you’re editing it for likely error there.

We usually change our /tags/ to /topics/ here, and have had zero issues, unless the ‘tag’ itself has some garbled thing in it.

Also note the ‘blank’ trick does not always work, nor the ‘put a period in there’ trick. If you don’t want to use ‘tags’ often best to simply change it to something else (e.g., ‘topics’).

If they already capture the image for the post, you can try ‘refresh attachment’ on FB for that post. But basically, look at your page source: if the og:image tag is there and points at right image, that is what they will grab unless it’s too small.

check your permalink settings, as theme doesn’t control that

tags seem to work
https://flowcycle.hu/tag/x-terra/

if you get 404 errors, might be encoding issue with language; normally tags should not contain any tildes or similar, just plain letters and numbers

You might try adding the css to your site, and then try applying the class to a form input box to see if it works, then go from there.

Theme isn’t using ‘bootstrap’ – so might not work with this theme.

Probably need to hire a developer.

Did you try getting older version from Github, to see if rolling back to prior version solved issue? Also check debug ‘on’ to see errors in WP if any?

Google+ usually has no issues grabbing content (I just did it!), but they can time out, and they want images to be 696px or larger now ((sigh)), and obviously you do need all your open graph tags set properly. They may also skip content if you copy it from other sources and link to the original content creator (we don’t do that here but I’ve seen it).

Anyway — if they can’t reproduce the issue, then good to try going through *all* your Yoast SEO settings one by one and double checking everything — and double checking the actual ‘on page’ meta data on the post itself doing ‘view source’ — if all the correct info *is* in fact there, then the issue is entirely on Google’s side of the street.

Again … theme cannot fix your basic system setup stuff; you have to do that yourself, as with *all* WordPress themes and any website in general.

Using GTMetrix.com to test a post on your site will also give you specific examples of the things you can optimize with tips, if the speed guide I linked to above is no help. 🙂

If they can’t set it to be ‘on’ by default for your domain, you can usually control that with .htaccess file.

If you don’t want to Google how to do that, some tips are in the ‘best of forums’ and DIY-tutorials section of the docs here on the forum; e.g.,
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/

Theme doesn’t control Yoast SEO plugin; best to visit the support forum for Yoast; or if you have pro version send them support ticket.

Note you can *see* the actual open graph tags by simply doing ‘view source’ in your web browser; also check for console errors with F12 in chrome browser.

Open graph description usually pulled from excerpt, title should be story title not URL. You should double check your YOAST seo settings for what gets put into the different slots, then do view source on one of your posts to see if done right.

Remember to clear any caching to see the changes!

gzip/deflate is set at the server level — if your host doesn’t know what that is or how to enable at server level; get a better web host!

Theme can’t manage server side setup, custom htaccess optimizations, etc. — these are all common issues for *any* WordPress setup. It is a technical operation to setup and manage a website, so always a learning curve you will need to explore — as there are a decade of online tutorials and help for learning the basics of WP and website management.

I don’t work here, just some feedback.

And, of course, you need to test with advertising *off* … as that will generate massive amount of errors from bad cookies, missing CSS, https mis-match, etc. — Google very bad at auditing compliant ad units.

In fact, on one of our sites it was so bad, recently I switched all ads to ‘text only’ from Adsense as they were seriously loading bad content crashing the page or causing 5 second loading timeouts, or freezes half way down the page.

Well, mine is 90+ without a caching plugin and not fully optimized since moving from 2x to 3x.

You might look at my long-winded tutorial in the ‘best of forums’ section, as I cover many tricks for optimizing the site – from the basic htaccess stuff, various WP optimizations for wp-config.php, removing google fonts and using system font-stack, switching to local avatars, not using social ‘likes’ tracking, removing unused CSS not used (e.g., woocommerce, bbpress, if not using them); minification of main css and js manually; using a lazy load YouTube plugin to show thumb, and only load video when clicked (won’t work on featured vids outside post); limit modules used ‘per post page,’ to limit PHP calls; make sure using php 5.6 or higher with opcache ‘on’; changing default thumbnail image compression to make images as compact as possible for thumbs; etc.

It is doable. If you have gzip/deflate on, time to live extensions, opcache, and limit external loading, you should at least be 65 as baseline. Anything below that shows serious issues unrelated to theme.

There are no such H3 rules like that in actuality. It’s normal practice to use H3 for section heads in posts, and on news indexes for the headline to identify it as more important than paragraph text, but not as important as page level h1 title and h2 supplemental (section) heads. If you look at actual information from Google, whomever told you that there are ‘too many h3’ tags on a page is bad, is incorrect. This is normal for an ‘index’ of content that leads to other content — in this context the h3 is used for presentation and not SEO, as on normal news sites the headlines change regularly and so are not used toward the overall weight of a page vs the actual page being linked to where the phrase would be the primary meta data, og data, and h1.

You could certainly edit the template and modules to turn that into h4, but even WP defaults sidebar widgets to h3 going back 12 years now. It’s normal practice to make all supplemental headlines or section heads h3 as h4/h5/h6 generally have no actual relevance other than presentational.

Speaking as an SEO company since March 1995 and WordPress dev since 2005.

Food for thought anyway (I don’t work here).

I think you could edit the breadcrumbs module for that, but there is no reason to do so; it won’t be added to SERPS by doing that, and having link to the page you’re already on in breadcrumbs serves no useful purpose.

Food for thought anyway.

Two ways. Just place the image at top of your post by inserting the media normally. Or, you might have to edit page template to add the featured image hook. Often easier to just place the image manually. At least thats what i do.

Did you change the default colors with theme panel or css? Maybe put back to default.

Roll back to your backup temporarily, then when old version back, doible check system paramters in theme panel for enough system resouces.

Also, I think with modern HTML5, applying a ‘class’ to the iframe is better way to do all of that either by explicit class, or by id=mycustoframe … etc.

Theme doesn’t control your basic HTML elements like that. If there is existing CSS conflicting, simply add your own custom css to manage a custom use, as in your ad unit.

You can’t control anything inside an iframe being loaded from external source as the “elements” inside the iframe are all controlled by THAT content being loading into the iframe container.

You can try doing normal CSS?
