a) make sure you put explicit https domain path in your wp-config.php file and the force https line (see WP docs on how to edit wp-config.php file)
b) make sure you do search/replace in your dbase for content instances of http vs https
c) add 301 redirect for all http/site queries to load via https/site — often done via htaccess or most modern hosting panels (e.g., Plesk/Onyx) can do this on the hosting setup page

not sure that helps, but often the main culprit; and make sure you are logging in only via https.

You can FTP from a Chromebook, if you Google it.
Just sayin.

You might need to enable visiblity of the custom fields on post edit page from the little tab top right for ‘visibility’ where you turn things on/off for the post edit page. This would allow you to *see* the custom field for post views per post.

Only reason for the counter to reset would typically be a caching issue. Once you can see your post views on the post edit page — try enabling or disabling the ajax counter option.

Might be major caching or CDN issue — weird to see two versions of same resources at end of query string.

Might need to do clean install of theme — which means DELETE old folder and install new one; never ‘over write’ old folder.

Sorry if that didn’t help – just passing by and thought about that.

Looks like you fixed it.

click the “what’s this mean” link on the GTmetrix site.

If it still makes no sense you might need to hire somebody.

Theme has nothing to do with this issue.

Settings for WP rocket and WordPress are generally theme agnostic, so you can generally just tell them (rocket) you’re using WordPress and go from there. Main thing is to disable any minification stuff initially, especially for javascript.

You don’t need a license for the plugin; it is the ‘bundled version,’ as noted in the docs — see link right side of this page.

Plugin works just fine once you activate it from the ‘plugins’ panel.

You don’t need to ‘activate’ it with WP Bakery — as you do not have a support license with WPB. Just ignore the nag screen 🙂

I don’t work here but try
a) check system panel; check registration page in theme panel
b) try disabling plugins to see if one is malware, hacked, whatever

Disable ads before checking your site.

Theme doesn’t control email; you may need to use an SMTP plugin to send ‘authenticated’ email from your system. Plenty of tutorials on web for this; but check the WordPress.org repository for free SMTP plugins! 🙂

Did you check to see if site hacked?

Did you check F12/console for errors ?

Your page has a *ton* of errors being generated.

Best to disable *all* your ad settings entirely, check all your theme boxes for ads, widgets, footer text, etc., ASAP.

( our new website, we are building our own meta hooks in a custom plugin as Yoast has just gotten so intrusive I have started to hate it — now they “warn you” when you delete a page that should do a redirect, to try to sell you pro version which has that feature … BAH!)

We’ve been lucky with Google News — but we’re dinosaurs in publishing (founded 1981!); and were in the Google News beta in 2005. So, hence my sometimes having had the pain and torment to speak about here. 🙂 #WAHHHH

Yep, that’s how Google works; since the headline and link are explicitly to your page, there is no need to make a truncated URL underneath; so they show link to main site, then category to provide a jump link to that category.

Theme has nothing to do with this, however if you only wanted to show URL in serps, you would need to disable the breadcrumbs entirely.

This is how Google works. You’re not buying a classified ad; they are generating the SERPS based on usability. They read the breadcrumbs to show the path in the content, which is more useful if say it was book review, and the category was book reviews, you could jump right there, –or– click the main big giant link in blue which is to actual page.

Showing the ‘url’ in serps serves no practical purpose for somebody looking for information.

Hope that helped. 🙂

Theme cannot change site randomly, so something, like a plugin or whatever got updated on your site. Suggest checking error logs, try clearing cache, try clearing transients with wp-optimize, try resaving permalinks.

Then try disabling plugins to see if something you updated broke something else.

Theme cannot “suddenly” break for no reason. This is why disabling ‘auto updates’ is wise, and then keeping eye on when updates come up to ensure you stay secure; trade off on ease of use vs stuff breaking from being auto-updated.

Check all your plugins to see if activated properly, or anything disabled due to broken update, etc.

Not sure if that helps, but good starting point.

( I don’t work here. )

You could likely do what the old school folks (like myself) used to do; simply use a sniffer in your headers, and if it’s a mobile device, load different theme/CSS via redirect. Some “mobile plugins” also do this for you.

A developer could likely help you with this for your custom use case, which is not normal. Typically a “responsive” theme is shown to both desktop and mobile, just as the theme was advertised; then possibly a plugin for new endpoints such as the Automattic AMP plugin.

WP has a cheesy “is_mobile” function built in you can try. Or, like most things related to hacking WP, “google it…”

However, some background

Here’s the one we use, fyi

Google custom search is dependent on your sitemap being submitted to your account there, and webmaster tools (search console); so good to ‘force respider’ that from search console at least.

Also, this is funnily enough one of the reasons we still use the ‘keywords’ option on certain sites to help with search.

Quoted searches help with Google CSE, too.

But best to try one of the free WP search enhancement tools to see what goes on there.

At least GSE “should” be showing you everything from a search, in reverse date order.

Setup of proper meta data via Yoast or similar does help, too obviously. Meaning if the search term is not in headline, h1, description/excerpt, h2, alt tag for image, keywords, post meta general paragraph text, or page slug/permalink … less likely to be found by that term.

Not sure that helps. Just more feedback. I’m only hyper-aware of this as Google just killed our paid custom search engine which we had integrated into our main website to show up in results from the local site search tool; but now they downgraded to the free version which might show our competitor ads on our own service portal, which is super dumb. I mean, why is Google getting out of the search business? It’s like killing the video editor on YouTube? Why? (( SIGH ))

What we did was simply go into the theme includes folder; find the ‘count’ file, change the custom field at top from the default to your existing field name. Then the built-in system will increment THAT field and print the count on pages. Sorry I don’t remember the exact name and path, but pretty obvious when you look for it. 🙂

Most properly executed review plugins will “append” the ratings to the normal end up post meta hook. I use a related posts plugin (more efficient than the one in theme since it does micro caching of queries and is text-only). Also, some may need to load a custom font to work for stars, and might duplicate the slim font-awesome already loaded. Further, some may need to load custom CSS on the page, and might break due to any plugin or CDN being used.

Still, lots to test — https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/rating/

Some also allow use of shortcodes to drop the content in middle of post, but obviously you need to test that.

Turn off thumb sizes you dont use from theme panel.

Disable thumbs from wp admin panel under media.

Check jetpack support forum?

See the tutorials section in theme docs; Google it; try testing page with GTmetrix.com and read the how-to help there.

Theme has nothing to do with how you optimize your server/hosting; so good to review tutorials online for how to optimize WP sites in general, while learning to use and optimize WP.

But you can find some pointers here ! –
