Hello. Are you going to add a follow icon on Google? Since the algorithm change, the drop in visits has been tremendous. Best regards.

Hello DeDvdes,

We are having difficulty understanding your request. Could you please provide a reference so that we can better understand what kind of icon you mean?

Thank You

When I install the theme with the JNews Meta Header plugin enabled, the site displays the message “There has been a critical error on this website.” When I disable the plugin, the site works again. How can I fix this?

Hello, Well, you’ve released your new update!

Two questions: Have you addressed the important Accessibility Mandatory law, because you risk a €40,000 fine. Have you also revised the code to make it lighter, use more flexboxes, and be more optimized for mobile devices? Thanks

Hello WOODYP,

Are you currently experiencing any issues related to accessibility or optimization on mobile devices?

Congratulations on your release of version 12! I look forward to testing out the GEO functionality.

FYI, your home page states, “Join Over 16,407+ JNews Lovers.” You should update this to 28,000. :-)

Hi WebInfinityNet,

Thanks a lot! Glad to hear you’re excited to try the new GEO feature!

And thanks for the heads up about the homepage, our team is currently updating the content.

Thank you

That’s a very interesting development! It’s great to see JNews focusing on future-proof optimisation. However, it might be beneficial to clarify the terminology for your global user base. In the digital marketing world, GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is a precise tactic that specifically focuses on creating expert content for AI models to cite in their answers. It’s a key component of the wider and more universally recognised strategy: AI SEO (AI-Powered Search Engine Optimisation). From a marketing and communication standpoint, using AI SEO or AI Optimisation (AIO) as the overarching category for all your new AI features (including GEO) would instantly help customers understand that the theme supports a comprehensive modern SEO strategy.

Hi propagatica,

Thanks a lot for the thoughtful feedback and insights.

You made a really good point about the terminology. We agree that clarity is important, especially for our global users. We’ll definitely consider your suggestion about using AI SEO or AI Optimization (AIO) as a broader category to make our communication clearer.

Really appreciate you taking the time to share this, it helps us improve both our product and how we present it.

Thank you

Once again, congratulations on the success of JNEWS 12. A fantastic job!

Regarding terminology, the chances of the term SEO fading into obscurity are minimal. It has nearly 30 years of history behind it, and it is the livelihood for millions of professionals, agencies, and startups. SEO is a massive, multi-billion dollar ecosystem, encompassing countless knowledge resources, websites, and clients.

Of course, many new terms emerge and compete for a top position, and some will undoubtedly stay – most likely as supplementary terminology, similar to the more specialized GEO. However, SEO itself is likely to evolve into AI SEO. This shift allows everyone to retain the well-known and established “SEO” brand while accurately reflecting the nature of modern services, including your own.

Therefore, choosing the term AI SEO is a safe and strategic choice, also because it is the broadest and most accurately conveys the essence of what your service does.

Hi there. Jnews 12? Can I see a changelog? Thanks a lot!

Hi Hobiti,

This issue appears to be caused by caching. You may need to wait a while for the updates to be reflected.

Thank you

I have a problem with replacing default header from Jnews with custom one created from Elementor theme builder.

In order to use Elementor custom header instead od Jnews default one do I need to disable Jnews header first and if yes how could I do that?

When I try to create new header from theme builder Elementor editor is loading infinitely. The only way I can enter is if I go with Elementor safe mode.

I can open Jnews Footer builder, Archive template and post template with normal Elementor (not safe mode) without any problem. It only gets stuck in loading when trying to create new header template, so I guess it’s interfering with the Jnews default one.

Also when I do finally load elementor header template in safe mode, create header, and publish it, than when trying to preview it on frontend, page goes completely blank.

Do you know how to fix this problem with infinitely loading elementor and blank pages on frontend.. I guess disabling Jnews header in order to use this custom one is the key?

tnx!

Hello LookaZD,

The JNews theme is compatible with Elementor Pro’s Header Builder. We’ve also tried replicating this issue on our side, and the Header Builder from Elementor Pro worked properly.

If you’re still experiencing this issue, please consider creating a new support topic on the JNews Support Forum using the link below. It would be very helpful if you could include a screenshot or video so we can better understand the problem you’re facing.

In the meantime, please check your site configuration to ensure it meets Elementor’s requirements, which you can review at the link below. We also recommend increasing your site’s WP Memory Limit to 768MB.

Hello, after the latest update, the review module stopped working properly. Can you help me with this? The system, which has worked flawlessly and hasn’t had any issues before, is now not adding review information to the text.

Hello rzrblds,

We assume that your site has an optimization feature such as an active caching system. We recommend clearing all caches on your site first to ensure the issue isn’t caused by your optimization setup.

If the issue persists, you can try deactivating plugins that are not related to the JNews theme, such as WP Rocket or similar plugins, and then check the issue again.

Thank You

Hello,

I tried what you suggested. There was no change. While doing this, I also discovered the root cause of the problem. Even if I enable the review button, which activates the review module for the post, and then click save, it still won’t process.

On another site where I use this theme, it works fine with PHP (7.4.33), WordPress 6.8.3, JNews 11.6.13, and WP Rocket Cache.

On the site I’m currently experiencing the issue, I’m still experiencing the issue even with PHP (8.3.26), WordPress 6.8.3, JNews 11.6.17, and WP Rocket Cache disabled. Even rolling back the PHP version didn’t fix the issue.

Hello rzrblds,

We sincerely apologize, but we currently don’t have enough information regarding this matter. If possible, please continue this conversation through the JNews support forum at the link below, and kindly include more details such as screenshots or a short video to help us better understand the issue.

I am using your JNews theme on my website, and I’ve encountered a small issue with how external links are handled in the header and footer areas.

The Problem:

When I add an external link (for example, https://abc.com/directory/) to my header or footer, the link works correctly. However, when a user hovers their mouse over the link, the trailing slash (/) at the end of the URL disappears in the browser’s status bar preview. The displayed link becomes https://abc.com/directory.

This only happens for external links. All internal links on my website correctly keep their trailing slash on hover.

The href attribute in the HTML source code is correct and includes the trailing slash. The change only seems to happen visually on hover, which suggests it might be caused by a JavaScript script within the theme.

Troubleshooting Steps I’ve Taken:

I have checked the JNews Theme Options, particularly in the Performance, SEO, and Advertisement sections, but I couldn’t find a setting that seems to control this behavior.

I have also tried deactivating other plugins to check for conflicts, and the issue seems to persist, pointing towards the theme itself.

Could you please advise on why this might be happening? Is there a specific feature or setting in JNews that “normalizes” or processes external links that I can disable?

My goal is to have the external links display their full, correct URL (with the trailing slash) when a user hovers over them.

Hello Anonyviet,

We have checked the issue on our side but couldn’t replicate or find the same problem.

Kindly include a more detailed explanation along with screenshots and your site URL so that our support team can better understand the issue you’re experiencing.

Thank You

Hello Anonyviet,

Upon further inspection, this issue is not related to the Demo or the JNews theme. By default, browsers will remove the trailing slash at the end of a domain when the URL does not contain any path.

To confirm this, you can try creating an HTML file that contains a URL link without any path.

Hello!!

I have a question with Autoptimize cache size. My site is using Autoptimize and WP Super Cache plugins. Curently the Autoptimize cache size is up to 1.13 GB. Is this a problem? if so, how to fix it?

Regards

Hello dddownloads,

Yes, it’s normal for the Autoptimize cache to grow over time, especially if your site frequently updates or serves different versions of CSS and JS files. Each time Autoptimize re-creates optimized files (for example, after a plugin update or when cache changes), the old cached files remain stored until they’re manually or automatically cleared.

That’s why the cache size can increase — even up to 1 GB or more — depending on your site activity and the number of visitors.

You can safely clear the cache from Autoptimize, and it’s a good practice to do this occasionally to keep the cache small.

Thank You

After the last theme update, I cannot update the JNews Essential plugin anymore (and nor the WP Bakery composer). I tried in each way, I deactivated all other plugins, reinstalled the theme… nothing: pushing the Install button does nothing. I don’t understand this error, as I have this theme for years.

Hello eddietone,

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Could you please let us know your system configuration, such as your WP Memory Limit or PHP Time Limit? It’s possible that the execution time or memory usage during the plugin update has reached its limit, causing the update process to fail.

You can check your system status from the “JNews -> System Status” menu. If there are statuses marked in yellow, you can increase them — for example, raising the WP Memory Limit from 40MB to 256MB or higher.

If you have already ensured that your system status meets the minimum requirements but are still experiencing this issue, you may continue this conversation with us via email. You can contact us through the Contact feature on ThemeForest available on the Author’s page.

We will be waiting to hear back from you.

I cannot add a picture here, but in the System status, all seems to be ok (all is green).

Hi, Yoast SEO cannot read subtitles from posts. It says my post doesn’t have a subtitle.

Hello revistaalternativa,

Could you please clarify which Subtitle you are referring to? If what you mean is the Meta Description in SEO, you can try adding an Excerpt to each of your posts.

Hi, subtitles from Jnews singles Posts.

Hello revistaalternativa,

We sincerely apologize for the delay in our response. Where would you like to place the subtitle? If what you mean is the Meta Description, you can directly modify it in the Yoast SEO settings. For more details, you can refer to the article below.

Alright, thanks

You’re welcome!

It’s honestly disappointing how reluctant you are to add proper RankMath support, despite countless comments and support requests from your users.

Right now, JNews only integrates with Yoast and NavXT. For anyone using RankMath, we’re forced to edit theme files just to disable breadcrumbs and schema—something that should be a simple built-in option. This is not acceptable in 2025 when RankMath is one of the most widely used SEO plugins.

Why are you ignoring your customers on this? RankMath support should already be a core feature, just like Yoast and NavXT.

I’ve been using JNews for many years, but unless this gets addressed soon, I will have no choice but to switch to a theme like Astra that actually listens to its users and fully supports RankMath out of the box.

NO worries, i will wait for the update, thank you.

Thank you for the update, which now includes RankMath breadcrumb support.

Hello royalmice,

You’re very welcome!

We’re glad to hear that you’ve received this feature :D

Thank you so much for all your appreciation and support up to this point!

Magnific Popup: „Important note This jQuery plugin is deprecated, only critical or security bug fixes will be released in future. Use native <dialog> element if you need a basic dialog/modal/popup, or my PhotoSwipe library if you need an advanced image gallery”.

Why are you still using Magnific Popup, for example for the login screen, when it is deprecated? It poses a security risk and is already incompatible with WP Rocket.

Hello rankingexpert,

From our investigation so far, there are currently no known security issues related to this matter. Could you kindly provide us with a more detailed reference link regarding the security issue you mentioned?

If there is indeed a security issue within the Magnific Popup library, we CAN and WILL update the library’s code or change the library to resolve the issue.

Thank You

We don’t understand each other. You don’t have the resources to detect threats in a third-party plugin. Even large specialized teams such as CVE don’t detect them.

Example. The latest bug in Magnific-Popup 1.1.0 was detected after… 9 years. Version 1.1.0 was released on February 20, 2016, and CVE detected the threat on July 3, 2025, even though a fixed version 1.1.2 had been available since June 8, 2024. To this day, thousands of websites still use 1.1.0.

It’s a simple thing. You sell a good product, but its Achilles heel is Magnific-Popup, which is DEPRECATED! You should look for another solution that is not DEPRECATED. That’s it!

Hello rankingexpert,

We will review this again and take the update into consideration.

Thank you very much!

I have mentioned this before. Since the version 11.6.8 was released. I was getting the error “An error occurred while updating JNews: No upgrade package available.” and your suggestion was to manually download it and upload the new version and this is what I did. But there have been months, 8 updates since then and I keep getting the same error when updating. Can you give me an answer why this is happening and how you are planning to solve it? I have bought your theme 4 times, 1 site has been deleted, 1 site I am not administrating so I don’t know if this happening but on the other 2 it is happening.

Hello papadio,
