Check your meta data in your posts — “view source” to see what is actually there.

Normally you control your meta data with a plugin like Yoast SEO or similar.

Hi
to syndicate our Florida news you can use
a) FeedWordPress – to pull in full text stories and put into a category
b) to auto-capture featured image, we recommend ‘auto post thumbnail pro’
———
For responsive iframes see:
https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2014/02/making-embedded-content-work-in-responsive-design/

you can also try:
iframe, object, embed {
max-width: 100%;
}

Also, don’t use any inline HTML anymore like <center> as this will break your ability to generate compliant /AMP/ endpoints if you decide to add AMP support. ALWAYS use classes for anything now.

e.g.,
.centertext{text-align:center}
div class="centertext"
etc.

Make sure you have an ‘excerpt’ for each post, which is usually used by social media tools to provide the text for sharing. Also, plugins like Yoast SEO further allow you to cutomize the social text separate from the excerpt.

You can *SEE* what text is actually there for social to grab by doing “view source” for one of your posts and looking at the meta data in the head.

Twitter needs custom tags to tell it what to grab. Facebook and Pinterest use “open graph” or “OG” tags to pull data. Without those tags, you won’t get anything legible when sharing.

By the way, if you want to add some auto-content to your Florida news site, you can pull in our Florida news channel to a ‘press release’ category if you wish, from our RSS here:

Hi, I think we add a custom class like so

.myresponsivv{width:100%; max-width:300px; height:auto;}

img src="fullurl" width="300" height="250" class="myresponsivv" alt=""

1) you need to actually use https:// for your website and need SSL cert.
2) your link spawned popup window “bomb”

They are not the same image, if you *look* closer at the second one.

The second image shows you what to do:
comment out the line, so it will help your issue.

In php a // means a comment for code.

Did you try that yet?

It’s possible it stopped working due to other conflict like WordPress 4.8.1, Yoast SEO update, WooCommerce update, etc., etc.

Good to check the support topics for that plugin also.

And, of course, check F12 for console errors, turn on the built-in WordPress error log debug function, check your hosting panel for error log, etc. — as good ways to see what is causing hiccups.

Sometimes plugins like ‘autooptimize’ or a CDN or cache plugin setting can break things, too.

Not sure that helps. Just food for thought.

I don’t work here.

Make sure you install properly.

DELETE your old wp-content/plugins/newspaper

theme folder; upload new one.

Update any theme plugins you use as well, which are also found in the ‘all files’ download, in the Newspaper-tf folder.

If you *look* at the style.css file when you download from ThemeForest it will say:

/*
Theme Name: Newspaper
Theme URI: http://tagdiv.com
Description: Premium wordpress template, clean and easy to use.
Version: 8.1
Author: tagDiv
Author URI: http://themeforest.net/user/tagDiv/portfolio
License:
License URI:
Tags:black, white, one-column, two-columns, fixed-layout
*/
/*

Helps if you look a little closer?

> theme forest > your account > downloads

> newspaper > all files zip (in dropdown selector)

unzip the file

Newspaper-tf/plugins/td-mobile-plugin.zip

You need to use css and add a responsive class to your ad units. Normal css practice.

E.g., stuff like
Width=100% max width = 300px etc.

Or see theme docs on custom ads to add divs for different sizes with your different size ads for each viewport.

I think, as noted in the other thread you replied to, that’s now under the ‘formatting’ drop down ?

I’d have to go look. But did you try that?

Not part of theme. You likely should consider using a plugin or custom function to do that.

Also check your permalinks settings in WP admin panel (not part of theme).

I’ve been building websites since March 1995, and using WordPress since 2004; and ran a hosting company from 1996 to 2005.

So my advice on the forum is generally based on practical experience.

Not tooting my own horn, just letting you know I’ve seen a lot of web shenanigans over the years 🙂 And I was an ‘early adopter’ of TagDiv themes when they first launched 4 years ago.

Did you try adding your css override to the custom css box in theme panel? Are you targeting correct class?

One trick is to create a custom template for category xx and then put the code for custom ad in that template and remove the theme ad hooks entirely. But if that makes no sense, likely need to hire somebody.

We do that for one category where we do something funky not worth describing here, for customer stuff.

Which boxes?

Do you mean a post?

Do you mean sidebar widget?

Best way to test anything is simply put the elements in a simple text widget (in text mode, not visual mode) in sidebar, and see if it works.

For shortcode, put into the actual template or appropriate element supporting that.

Check the support for the element you’re inserting — perhaps it won’t work on a non-resolving DNS lookup, etc. Not all web stuff works on a local PC/Mac setup, for whatever reason.

Not sure that helped. Just comment (I’m stuck here waiting on something… hence my lurking and commenting … ). 🙂

Lots of factors impact those “stats.”

Generally if your site is optimized and loads at the same speed/performance, and with same content, your readers should react same way — regardless of theme ‘version.’

Why would one version cause somebody to stay on your site +/- 60 seconds.

The reason *most* theme devs on 100 different theme foundry sites don’t have much of an answer to this is due to it not being directly theme related unless you have an actual F12 console error, or bug causing page not to load properly — and taking into account that viewer stats are affected during site revamp, especially if not using a custom ‘maintenance mode’ plugin to let viewers know you’re working on site, and that it’s not busted.

For example if you serve busted stuff, it gets cached on mobile, and when somebody comes back to check, they might still get served busted version and leave. A maintenance plugin tells people “hey, we’ll be back soon, once we do some house cleaning…” and so they never get served broken/mish-mash code.

So, take all the sky is falling nonsense on all theme forums with major grain of salt.

Enjoy!

We use DUPLICATOR plugin to move stuff.

Also, there is tutorial in the WordPress.org codex on how to install a copy of WP into a folder like /mysite/newinstall/ to do clean install, then when done copy index.php to root, to serve the new clean site from the /newfolder/ …

If plugins are ‘vanishing’ from your site, that is a very serious issue unrelated to theme or plug by TagDiv — stuff should never “automatically remove itself” from your install if you have the system setup correctly.

Note that TDC is new plugin; VC is old classic one. To keep using VC, install that and disable TD Composer. To switch to TDC in place of VC, you will need to redo your home page layout with the TD Composer in place of VC as the modules are different.

Sorry if that is no help; I don’t work here, but using Newsmag since 1.0.

Yes, from the April 2016 version.

Background image working now. Might have been your caching. 🙂

Consider disabling the lazy load ‘animation’ …

also be sure to
a) optimize dbase (e.g., with WP-Optimize or similar)
b) resave permalinks

this clears micro-caching (transients) with WP
