Sorry for the delayed reply, hectic month.

Can you tell me where to find this option in the theme control panel? I looked everywhere and could not find it.

On the plus side, the custom CSS does appear to be hiding it – it must have been a caching issue. But I’m still seeing horizontal lines above and below where the button used to be, and I’d prefer those not be visible either.

I’m seeing this on my site too. Just updated to Newspaper 8.7.2 and noticed a Facebook button appearing at the bottom of my posts in a td-post-sharing-classic div.

I didn’t make any changes to any theme options, and definitely didn’t enable any sharing plugins, since I use Social Warfare to handle my floating share buttons.

Is this custom CSS really the only way to handle this? Why is it appearing, if I didn’t enable anything, and why isn’t there a way to disable it via the theme panel?

Update: I tried both custom CSS mentioned here, and neither worked.

Same problem here with header style 12. I use W3TC and Amazon cloudfront.

It appears to be a problem with the W3TC / Cloudfront interaction. When I disable the CDN, the search icon appears as expected. When I enable Cloudfront, I get the broken behavior. I’d expected that since W3TC is combining and minifying my HTML, JS, and CSS (I’m still http/1) that any time I purged cache in w3tc, the new file combined file names would ensure no caching problems.

Looks like I was wrong. Guess I have to wait a week for the theme files to expire or learn Cloudfront invalidation…

FWIW, the link in the Theme Panel doesn’t point to the google page whichi says floating sidebar isn’t allowed. The correct link is https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/1346295?hl=en&ref_topic=1271508

If you’re using an optimization plugin, check your minification. I use W3C Total Cache, and always have to tweak the settings whenever they release a new update (like they did last week) to get my images to appear.

I ran into this problem also. Disabling All In One WordPress Security resolved it.

Now I’m looking at alternative security products like WordFence or iThemes Security.

All In One WordPress Security was the culprit. Disabling that got Visual Composer working again.

Deleting the Newspaper folder on my server and manually updating to 7.11 using ftp fixed this problem.

Although the theme still says it’s 6.6.4 in the theme panel in wordpress admin even though the other text, images, etc. say “7”. This is a very weird update process.

Still having the original problem that prompted me to update, that I can’t edit existing pages like thist: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/visual-composer-page-editor-not-working/

Will create a new post if I cannot resolve the issue.

I’m having a similar problem as the OP’s first image – duplicate menu appearing at the top of the page.

I am not running a CDN or caching plugin, plus I always do a control-shift-R in the browser to force the page reload which tells my browser to ignore any files cached locally in the browser and re-download from the server.

Very disturbing.

I’m using W3TC and Cloudflare with Flexible SSL enabled. I’ve disabled minification on Cloudflare and am using W3TC to reduce the number of requests. I do basic minification of CSS and html, but not JS since minifying JS breaks images on my front page. I also combine all CSS into a single file and JS into a single file to reduce the number of requests to my server, which also has the benefit of removing query strings so I can be sure all my CSS, JS, and HTML is being cached correctly by any caching proxies between me and my readers. Minifying html also improves pagespeed slightly since Cloudflare doesn’t cache or optimize HTML.

This also has the added benefit of not having to do a manual process every time I update my Newspaper theme.

Obviously, I’ve also disabled Cloudflare in the W3TC plugin so it doesn’t know I’m using Cloudflare. This means if I do feel the need to clear my Cloudflare cache for some reason, I have to do it manually from the Cloudflare website.

Silly question, but wouldn’t you have to do this copy/paste procedure every time Tagdiv releases a new version of the theme?

I’m currently relying on CloudFlare to minify the files in their cache since W3 Total Cache minification breaks the theme. I’m planning to experiment with Autoptimize to see if it’s any better.

Digging into this deeper – I’m pasting code into custom ad 1 that contains this:
<ins class=”adsbygoogle”
style=”display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px”
data-ad-client=”ca-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXX”
data-ad-slot=”XXXXXXXXX”></ins>

And I see in the page source it’s turned into different requests depending on the window size, e.g.

if ( td_screen_width >= 1140 ) {
/* large monitors */
document.write(‘<ins class=”adsbygoogle” style=”display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px” data-ad-client=”ca-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXX” data-ad-slot=”XXXXXXX”></ins>’);

So one question is why is the size for large monitors set to 300×250? In fact, they’re all set to 300×250 except for portrait tablets which is set to 200×200 for some reason.

I think there’s an error in the custom ad handling code.

Hmm. I’m using Newspaper 6.6.1 on WordPress 4.4 and don’t notice anything broken.

That said, I’m brand new to Newspaper, so I don’t have previous experience to base it on.

Thanks, Chris.

I’ve been using responsive ads on my site so far, with pretty limited results. It seems there aren’t a lot of responsive ads in Google’s inventory.

I’d like to use leaderboards and MRECs since those are two of the most common ad sizes. If I put my leaderboard adsense code in the header ad block, it displays a banner ad. If I put that same code in my page body, it displays an MREC. This is a full width row in a full screen laptop browser, so I’d expect it to be able to fit.

Does Newspaper handle custom ad code differently from ad code in the header, footer, etc.?

I may be asking the wrong question. I’m trying to ad a leaderboard ad below a BigGrid 3 on my home page. I’m trying to use custom ad 1 and an ad box. What’s the recommended method?

Thanks

I set up my Facebook counter yesterday and thought I was having the same problem. But it just took about an hour for it to reflect my correct count. I added another follower on Facebook and my counter updated in about the same amount of time. So it seems to be working fine, you just have to be patient after you configure it correctly.

You mean create a “responsive” ad unit in Adsense and use that code for the custom_ad_1? Or something else?

I finally got Newspaper working on my stage environment and did a quick test with MailPoet. Subscription forms are working fine, as are sending emails, so it seems to be working for me.

Will need to investigate customizing the various mailpoet pages to optimize them for Newspaper, but that’s a later project.

I also use MailPoet for my mailing list and just purchased the newspaper theme.

Am I not going to be able to use MailPoet and Newspaper together? I didn’t get that far in my testing since I ran into Visual Composer problems first.
