I originally purchased Newspaper and installed on a live site, but decided the change was too big to make whilst the site was live. I therefore set up a local site and copied the full online site, including the Newspaper theme, to the local site which I have been working on. I am now trying to upgrade Newspaper to the latest version on the local site, but keep getting the message ‘this link has expired’. I am wondering if this is because the licence is linked to the live site rather than the other reasons for this message, (ie php ini memory restrictions).
if I remove Newspaper from the live site will I then be able to install the latest version on the local site if this is the cause of the problem. Or what do I need to do to de-register it from the live site.
Thanks for any help

Hello !
That shouldn’t be a problem but you can try and manually activate your license on the test page. Also make sure to have all the system requirements completed on the local host: https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-requirements/
Let me know if this helps !
Thank you !
Unfortunately this doesn’t seem to help.
I added the 256mb memory define in wp-config file.
Does it matter where in the wp-config file it goes?
checked the debug line was correct
Assume that the other settings are OK as the current version works OK, it’s just upgrading that’s the problem
Deleted the old theme
Cleared the cache in Chrome
Tried to install update but got the same message
‘The link you followed has expired.’
I’m not sure what you mean by a test page.
There is no option to activate the theme.
In the status for the old version it shows a registration key, with an option to re-set, but not sure what that would do.
Re-installed my backup copy to get back to where I was at the start.
Not sure what to do next.
By the way I have deleted the Newspaper theme from the current live site, so there is only one active copy now working on the local host. Just cannot seem to update it.
Any suggestions?
Hello !
The issues with “The link you followed has expired” come from a bad wordpress setup not from Newspaper Theme. It shouldn’t matter that your live site uses the key or not.
By a test site I mean a localhost install. We here use Wordrpess + Xampp.
Please make sure that your install is properly made. Make sure all the steps found here are followed: https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-wordpress/
Let me know if this was helpfull !
Thank you !
