If you already use for your HTML <img> tags and want to enable WebP for the CSS background as well, the proper way is to use multiple backgrounds in the CSS styling.

Recently we got an "data-vocabulary.org schema deprecated and not supported by Google anymore. Please migrate to using schema.org types." error validating one of our website pages. The same error we got in Google Search Console. This "data-vocabulary.org schema deprecated" error is related to the breadcrumbs structure data.

To apply lazy load for images in your Knockout template, first, make sure that  extension is installed. Then insert an image into the HTML template (my-template.html) like this: <img data-bind="attr: {src: $parent.getPixelUrl(), 'data-original': thumbnail, alt: code_article, loading: 'lazy', width: '165', height: '165' }"/> Example: <div class="options-block" data-bind="foreach: getOptionBlocks(), afterRender: initLazyLoad()">     <div class="option-item" data-bind="attr: {'data-sku': sku}">         <div class="image-block">              <img data-bind="attr: {src: $parent.getPixelUrl(), 'data-original': thumbnail, alt: code_article, loading: 'lazy', width: '165', height: '165' }"/>         </div>      </div> </div>   Your view JS file should look like:  define([ 'jquery', 'uiComponent', 'ko',], function ($, Component, ko) { 'use strict'; return Component.extend({ defaults: { template: 'Vendor_ExtensionName/my-template' }ihor

In v2.9.3 we added the feature that many customers requested about, it is "use the default catalog related products template" instead of custom blog related product template. This helps to display related products on the blog post page in the theme design automatically. The commit related to this change can be found at GitHub. Unfortunately, there are thousands of themes for Magento 2, and some of them have specific JS and CSS (e.g. Porto Theme). That is why if you use Blog extension v2.9.3 or greater and the related products block does not look good, please try to do next: 1. Create a new file in your theme directory: app/design/frontend/ThemeVendor/themename/Magefan_Blog/layout/blog_post_view.xml 2. Add this code into it: <?xml version="1.0"?><page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd"> <body> <referenceBlock name="blog.post.relatedproducts" > <arguments> <argumentihor

Social media is a powerful platform that generates tons of information throughout the world every day. That is why such networks as Facebook and Twitter are commonly used for marketing purposes by a lot of stores. It allows them to attract more attention to their content and correspondingly drive more traffic to their websites with the help of Open Graph tags. However, sometimes it happens that aren't working as they are supposed to. Instead of a great featured image and newly written title and description, you see the outdated information or don't see anything at all. If you're wondering what could possibly cause Facebook to pull out the wrong OG data instead of the up-to-date one the answer is pretty simple. Facebook Open Graph Cache. So, in order to make sure Facebook shows the proper Open Graph Information you just need to clear the Facebook cache. Follow these steps to clear Facebook Open Graph Cache: 1. Navigate to the Facebook Sharing Debugger, paste the URL to the pageihor

Hello there Magento fans!Are you eager to learn about some news and updates we've have prepared for you this month? To start with, there was made am important security fix for extension. Get more details on this in the article about .Besides, from now on login as a customer option is disabled in case customer's company is not verified in Magento B2B. As for the Magento cloud users weren't able to login as customers due to the missing product key field, now it is fixed. There were released 2 new extensions this month, which we're proud of. Website speed is extremely important when it comes to SEO. Since one of the main reasons for poor website performance usually is the number of pictures on the website there is a need to optimize them. The best solution for this is WebP, next-gen image format that is significantly smaller in size than JPG and PNG. That's how we've decided to develop the  extension that would help you to automatically convert images to the new WebP formatihor

Today (Feb 12, 2020) we have been notified about a potential security issue in our thanks to Daniel Sloof's tweet. Reviewing the code and communicating with Derrick Heesbeen, Lewis Voncken from experius.nl there was found the security issue. Note that, no confirmed attacks related to this issue have occurred to date, however, malicious actors potentially were able to login to a customer account in a tiny timeframe after the admin user pressed the "Login As a Customer" button in the admin panel and before admin user was redirected to the storefront and actually logged in. Timing is really important to reproduce this issue. The security issue may occur on all Login as Customer versions until v2.2.3 during just a few seconds after the pressing of the "Login As a Customer" button.  We encourage everyone who uses Login As Customer extension v2.0.0 - v2.2.2 to update the extension at least to v2.2.3 or apply this quick fix. At Magefan we always pay attentionihor
