OK, got it!

Thanks very much for the kind reply.

In Google Search Console, or Webmasters tools, we have a new section called Discussion Forum. Is wpdiscuz commenting platform eligible to be shown under this Discussion forum section?

Please see the image below for more details:

Thank you for your reply!

So you mean, wordpress comments are not eligible to be shown under the new “Discussion forum” setting of Google search console?

Thank you @bizanimesh and @tamirat22,

Sorry for the delayed reply.

I had the following two codes in my .htaccess file.

<Files xmlrpc.php>
	order deny,allow
	deny from all
	allow from 123.123.123.123
</Files>

RewriteEngine On
ErrorDocument 403 "Forbidden"
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} "^POST /xmlrpc.php"
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "!^Jetpack by WordPress.com" [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [R=403,L]

However I have already tried deleting these codes but the results are the same. Many of the images were still broken.

After removing the codes I could successfully test my URL by putting xmlrpc.php at the end, and I could see the the following message:

XML?RPC server accepts POST requests only

But still many of the images were not loading and were broken.

I tried deleting the cache, still there was no improvement.

The problem is that regardless of whether the above codes are present or not in my .htaccess, some of the images load fine while some images do not load at all.

Strangely, the previous image link which I had submitted in the above comments is now loading correctly, even though I have placed the xmlrpc blocking codes back in my htaccess. You can check the image link bellow:

I have currently decided not to use jetpack boost plugin because the broken images affect user experience hugely.

OK! thanks for the clarification!

Here’s the page with the video above the fold:

homemade-circuits.com/generating-electricity-from-piezo-buzzer/

I just now inspected the video iframe and it indeed shows data-lazyloaded-1

However, when I check these pages on pagespeed tool, they all recommend me to lazy load youtube javascript, whereas this issue is completely eliminated for all articles which have the videos below the fold.

This looks confusing to me.

Thanks you!

Thanks for your reply!

Here’s the report number:

Report number:?CXXCRQSJ

However I am wondering how this report can help to indicate the issue of youtube videos not getting lazy loaded above the fold??

Out of 135 video pages I have only 3 articles where the videos are pushed above the fold.

I have done everything as explained in the following article but still the images are broken…

https://jetpack.com/support/getting-started-with-jetpack/what-do-these-error-messages-mean/blank-lines-xmlrpc/#troubleshooting

The broken images happen only for 50% of the images…not all, that’s a bit confusing, why not all images?

Thank you so much @shubhanshukandani, for your kind reply,

I appreciate it very much. Everything is clear now.

Thank you for your reply @shubhanshukandani,

I understand what you are saying, but why the issue is happening after installing icegram? How is it related to icegram?

Now, as per yoast suggestion once I reviewed the “Template” section of yoast settings, the notifications was quickly removed, although I could not understand what was changed in the template section?

One last question, since I am OK with the 6 days or more time period for the email sending, can I now start using icegram free, without any further settings?

In the settings > email sending, there’s an option “Disable WordPress Cron”, I have disabled it, is that OK, or do I need to keep it enabled?

Thanks very much for your time!

Best Regards

Swag

Thank you @shubhanshukandani, for the kind reply!

Sending in 6 days or more is perfectly OK for me. So that means sending notifications to my subscribers in batches will be well within the max email sending limits provided by my host. And my email sending will never be blocked by my hosting provider. That’s great!

However, when I install icegram, I get a notification from yoast plugin, as given below:

You’ve added a new type of content. We recommend that you review the corresponding?Search appearance settings.

I tried to investigate but could find anything.

Can you please tell me why yoast is giving me this warning.

If I deactivate icegram, the problem goes away.

Awaiting your kind response.

Thank you!

OK, Thank you very much for your kind reply!

I will try that!

Thank you so much Maybellyne, for your reply.

I am not an expert, so I have no idea how to write robots.txt.

I can assure you that this robots.txt was created by yoast plugin, and this was done not just for one site but for two sites.

Actually yoast was already installed on my wordpress sites, but to explore other SEO plugins, I temporarily uninstalled Yoast.

However, I ultimately realized that Yoast is the BEST SEO plugin, therefore I reinstalled Yoast.

After reinstalling, when I checked my robots.txt file, I found the above mentioned elements in it.

Previously it looked like this:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

After reinstalling Yoast, it changed to this:

# START YOAST BLOCK
# ---------------------------
User-agent: *
Disallow: /?s=
Disallow: /page/*/?s=
Disallow: /search/
Disallow: /wp-json/
Disallow: /?rest_route=

Sitemap: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxsitemap_index.xml
# ---------------------------
# END YOAST BLOCK

For further confirmation, you can check my sites with the following URLs:

homemade-circuits

.com

makingcircuits
