Ok, so there is some compatibility issue with the new theme and pagespeed ninja plugin, it was fine till NP 9.5. we disabled the PSN plugin and the pages have started to open again, however, the performance of the pages have gone down considerably. Awful is the word, while we were doing 91 previously on the mobile theme on Google pagespeed insights, now it is down to 40!! Same is the case with the desktop site.
Super thanks that worked like a charm!
Thanks, where should we add this code to?
Awesome! Thanks, will let you know if we face any more bugs.
Thanks
Here is a screen grab of the error https://ufile.io/1q3fi
for number 3 and 5 issue.
Thanks Simion, am sure you guys are trying your level best to iron out the bugs.
In my opinion the auto load on mobile theme was more important as world over major traffic source now is mobile. If it can be incorporated in that, it will be awesome.
Till then if we turn off the mobile plugin, would the auto load function work on mobile?
For points 3 to 5, I will make a gif or take do a screen recording for you see.
We are keeping a close eye on GA and how auto load is helping page views, yesterday the pageview count was not going up, instead in the same view, it was just showing another loaded page in GA. Will recheck again and come back to you.
Thanks
Agreed, the loading of the next article should start as soon as a reader reaches 2/3rd or 3/4th of the page.
Couple of other bugs:
1) When the next articles is auto loaded, the pageview count in Google Analytics is not increasing. (getting something like this in the same page – /news/is-this-how-the-new…like/?tdb_action=tdb_ajax on GA). The pageview should increase as soon as the reader goes to the next auto load article.
The reason why websites use infinite load or auto load, is that it increases pageviews as well as the time spent on the website. Which is not happening with the current set. QZ,com is also great example of super infinite scroll/auto load.
2) Sticky side bar as HallmanDigitalMediaLLC pointed is also an issue.
Am sure you overwhelmed with auto load querries. Since this is a feature more sought after and long been awaited :).
Ok, found a bug with one of the plugins. reduced that and it started working again.
strangely it was working couple of days ago, the 3 bar menu was perfect then. Will try to disable all non theme clear cache and check. Will let you know the results.
Some conflict between jetpack and tagdiv amp plugin, we removed jetpack and it resolved the issue.
Ok, will check and let you know.
Also, in our mobile site the 3 top bar menu is not opening.
Hi,
Thanks please find screenshot of the error (it comes only in wordpress CMS) not on main site.

We deactivate tagdiv amp plugin, the error goes away. We activate it, it comes back.
Thanks
Hi,
You can try couple of things, first activate the mobile theme of Newspaper, that will bring the speed upto/over 45 (mobile).
Next you need to check the render blocking scripts.
I used this tutorial to bring those down. (you need to understand coding for a little while)
https://searchtides.com/eliminate-render-blocking-javascript-css-fold-content/
Also I am using lot of plugins to get the work done, You can also check some for yourself.
JCH Optimize is a good one to bring the speed index up. But remember if with plugins, the website might not work properly. So, keep experimenting.
I use WP Super chache, since any other cache plugin does not make the new stories appear, and you would end up cleaning the cache every time you post a new story/article. It is not the best Cache plugin, but seems to be the only one working with Newspaper.
We also use WP Smush Pro to keep the images size low.
Some of the plugins might reduce the desktop site index, as it puts more load on server, so make sure you have good RAM and CPU on the server.
Newspaper requires good amount of resources to be quick, no matter what anyone says you need good amount of RAM and CPU for your site to be fast if you are using this theme :).
However, Newspaper is much better than other themes we have seen, as they keep it updated and their support is excellent. Only thing missing here is infinite article load and infinite smart list load. Probably we will see it in the next update. That will make bounce rate lower and also time spend on site higher.
Hope all this helps!
Admins, please delete, it was a server side error. Thanks
Hi Calin,
https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/ (this needs to be updated, it is couple of versions old)
We ave 4 GB RAM on the server with 2 Vcores dedicated to our site, do you think we can use APC full page cache.
we are trying lot of things however, are not able to get mobile theme upto 90+ on google page speed. đ
Thanks, that worked!
Hi, please help on the same. We are getting the same thing different colours on the mobile website too.
any help will be appreciated.
Nope, no gradient anywhere. Checked the theme panel nothing uploaded either.
Thanks calin will check them.
Hi, the new dec 12 updates solved the issue. Thanks
thanks will download the new update and check, will let you know if we see the problem again.
Thanks Calin,
Its not the image problem, the whole theme disapears, no error is shown. Just a blank screen, but when we refresh it the whole site comes back. Happens in posts and home page.
Thanks Calin.
