How do you upload a photo for the author? Strange interface…
I have installed the plugin Wp User Avatar.
Try uploading the avatar directly in admin panel WordPress.
For example:

Thanks for the response. But how do I modify the image size? Are you saying to only upload a 96x96b image or is there a way to make the already uploaded images work? Example, here is a 300×200 author image:
https://coronadotimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/team_coree-300×200.jpg
Should I resize it to 96×96 to make it work? Or is there another way?
Remember to check the views in the custom field, not on the page, when you do a view increment, as the web page version is cached – that is how I wasn’t seeing the views on our site originally (I think I did a facepalm post about that way back when).
Of course – we didn’t use a caching plugin since we have dedicated server, so any caching plugin you’d probably need to make an exception for the /amp/ endpoint, since caching is done on the Google CDN for most purposes, and so local caching serves no purpose for the /amp/ version. My two cents anyway.
Yes but it’s too late in the future – AMP is already way over one year old…appreciate development takes time, but many features (like native video as featured image; and native AMP) are already commonplace on news sites…Newspaper 8+ must keep up with these features as publishers like us (usually ‘small’ and independent) have to be different to the larger national/regional operators who can’t react to tech progress as quick as we can…we have to keep reacting or leading the online game
At the moment, I believe there are no plans to implements something like this. It could be available in future updates, but I could not say exactly if or when it will happen.

Agreed it’s a good solution – as are their other AMP solutions, also agree a lot of their extensions aren’t worth the very high charges, this one is if you want a nice AMP look without building your own.
As a Tagdiv fan though I would rather have paid Tagdiv for their own version if available…
Hello!
I just updated my theme to Newspaper 8, but when I try to create a new page and edit it with TD Composer nothing happens. I click add new element but it’s impossible to drag anything but the “icon” of the thing I’m trying to add to the page (example: slider, post block, etc). Is anyone having the same problem?
Thanks!
Yes, I also noticed this and also use their AMP plugin otherwise. They are good developers with very good AMP products but yes, their prices are usually high including that of Newspaper theme extension.
Would love to know TagDiv’s take on this.
That old code still works with 3x, since we moved to Newsmag 3.x a year ago (Aug 2016) from 1.7. I have not yet upgraded anything to 4x as I’ve been building my own ‘in-house-only’ theme for our main business “corporate” portal (since we don’t need page builders, or news blocks, etc. — needs to be super lean, using bootstrap 3x).
However, ironically as of Aug 1 we disabled the hit counter entirely on our CANW website. But it *was* working the past 11 months on 3x just fine with the Automattic AMP plugin.
🙂
Just a note – the very popular AMPforWP plugin has released what it calls an ‘AMP Newspaper theme’ – it is in fact what appears to be TagDiv’s Newspaper theme edited for AMP; all very good, except it’s selling for $49 PER YEAR
They have often recommended Newspaper as a good theme, but I wanted to let you know about the use of your theme name and the fact that it is being sold
The sales details: ‘AMP Newspaper theme was created specially for the users who are using the Newspaper 8 theme by tagdiv and wants the same look and similar looking functionality on the AMP.
This theme was created with Drag & Drop AMP Page builder which allows you to create a dynamic homepage on AMP with News ticker, several types of category block designs with options like category selection, post counts, colour pickers & many other options.’
1. Is this authorised by TagDiv?
2. Why can’t we have one anyway as part of NP8 if it’s possible 🙂
Best wishes
Pat
I’ve added the following code to my functions.php, like Lucien described in his reply very clearly. Yet the view counter still doesn’t seem to work. It has been over a year since that reply was posted and new versions of Newsmag have been released. Perhaps the code is outdated? Thanks in advance!
add_action( 'amp_post_template_head', 'process_AMP_counter' );
function process_AMP_counter() {
global $post;
if (class_exists( 'td_page_views' )) {
if (td_util::get_option('tds_p_show_views') != 'hide') {
td_page_views::update_page_views($post->ID);
}
}
}
Hi,
The Latest articles section is displayed on the bottom of the page, when the required page template is selected. It can be customized or disabled (by selecting a different page template) for each page
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-templates-2/
– https://www.screencast.com/t/VBPbTP88
This section also has the option to set a sidebar for it
– https://www.screencast.com/t/nr4Jk5j5vIcb
Sidebars can be customized in Appearance->Widgets.
So if you select the default page template for example, the Latest articles and the sidebar will not be displayed.
Thanks
Hi guys,
I love the review rating system on Newspaper but need some help. Basically, I want the star rating to be on the right of the title or below it. At the moment I managed to put it in the title by adding the simple <i> code, however, I have to do this manually is there any code that I could add to the PHP or so that would add the review automatically to the title as well the normal bottom of the article.
Here is an example of what I need.
https://www.screencast.com/t/0058kNify8E
I have looked at some examples from showcase area, and I see that some web sites have managed to add “alt” information to the thumbnails. So, there is a way to do that.
Hello Torasko,
Please notice that we do not have any others options through the theme which allows you to customize the AMP Plugin, sorry!
Thanks for the message!
Thanks, I’ll check it out. Anything else that I should take into account with the AMP-enabled posts? Also, how about getting most of the header and footer of the normal posts into the AMP-posts?
Hi,
You could change the color of the links in the text widgets, with a code like this for example
– https://www.screencast.com/t/XTc3FsVli5
.widget_text a {
color: black;
}
The code must be entered in Theme panel->Custom CSS section.
Thanks
I’ve placed the youtube ids and codes correctly on my front page. Check this screenshot https://prnt.sc/geus4p
Still it’s showing blank. https://prnt.sc/gegsjx
And for megamenu if All can’t be removed then can we arrange the order of it’s subcategories. For example ordering submenus of LIFESTYLE as TRAVEL HEALTH MUSIC ARTS & RECIPES at the last.

Hi,
A simple image with a link can be inserted in the ad sections of the theme panel. Like this example for the header ad
– https://www.screencast.com/t/0PHrIbY3V
Different ad scan be displayed depending on device. Please see this guide
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-other-ads-non-adsense-ads/
Thanks
Hi,
I am sure that Tagdiv Team must have seen https://ampforwp.com/announcing-newspaper-theme-amp-new-themes-section/
We all would appreciate if Tagdiv can include AMP Theme with the subscription of Newspaper 8 Theme.
This would help a lot.
Thanks and regards,
Siddharth
Hi Team,
With every new theme update, I always have to make a few changes in the theme’s core file and now I am fade up with this.
There are two main files that I have to customize in the core theme file. 1. Style.css 2. Functions.php
( I am not talking about custom CSS but the real style.css file under theme)
Is there a way by which I can keep these changes in functions.php and style.css stable/fixed using child theme even after updating theme?
Should I simply copy the code that I change in core style.css file and paste it in style.css of child theme? Will this work? or will it load the style.css two times?
There is some tutorial here – https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes which ensure that the child theme stylesheet loads after original style.css.
<?php
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
$parent_style = 'parent-style'; // This is 'twentyfifteen-style' for the Twenty Fifteen theme.
wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
array( $parent_style ),
wp_get_theme()->get('Version')
);
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
?>
Is this code already written under our sample child theme file?
What about functions.php? there are multiple codes that I have added at the end of theme’s core functions.php. Should I delete these codes from core functions.php and write it on the child theme functions.php? If so? where do I need to write these codes?
Currently, this is how child theme funcitons.php look:
<?php
/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Newspaper V6.3+ Child theme - Please do not use this child theme with older versions of Newspaper Theme
What can be overwritten via the child theme:
- everything from /parts folder
- all the loops (loop.php loop-single-1.php) etc
- please read the child theme documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
- the rest of the theme has to be modified via the theme api:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-theme-api/
*/
/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
add the parent style + style.css from this folder
*/
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles', 1001);
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style('td-theme', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', '', TD_THEME_VERSION, 'all' );
wp_enqueue_style('td-theme-child', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array('td-theme'), TD_THEME_VERSION . 'c', 'all' );
}
Where am I supposed to insert new functions.php code?
Please help me create an almost stable style.css and functions.php under child theme so that all theme upgrade doesn’t affect all frequent updates.
Thank you.
Hi Torasko,
Do you are referring to this type of menu? -> https://www.screencast.com/t/lYUkU5iJ Please notice that here is talking about Mega Menu feature, which is available for each of our themes. For example, for Newsmag theme, the style of the mega menu should look like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/ucdrbfcZ As you can see, the styles are different because are different themes. For more information about this menu style, please check the following documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-mega-menu/
If is not what you mean, provide more details so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for the message!
Hello Torasko,
Please refer to the following topic here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-hook-hit-counter-into-amp-header/ and try to make all the steps which were presented there.
Thanks for your understanding!
I have two questions regarding the author pages.
1. What is the best image size to upload for author photo, so it isn’t blurry (see example below)
https://coronadotimes.com/news/author/coreecornelius/
2. Also, how do you hide the comment count? We don’t use wordpress comments on our stories, so they are all “0”. We would like that to be hidden on author pages.
Thanks!
I could not edit or delete these two sections of newspaper magazine. I need to place advertisements instead of MUST READ & CATEGORIES. Please check the screenshot. https://prnt.sc/gek7d2
