Hi,
Please make sure you have the latest version of the theme, 12
Please check if this code is missing from your .htaccess: https://www.screencast.com/t/iN0R93dD3p from our requirements https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ this requirement is not displayed in System Status.
Usually, after you set the code in .htaccess the WP editor works well.
Also, please check this guide about deny code https://forum.tagdiv.com/general-options-may-interfere-newspaper-theme/ ->
Please do a test using only tagDiv plugins and try to open the WP Editor.
Please check the console https://imgur.com/bRYwbvE if you have any errors when you try to open the wp editor, maybe is possible to be from the firewall or security module which blocks the admin-ajax.php request, which usually displays a 403 or 404 error.
If you don’t use a security plugin, please ask your host about this, maybe you have a security module that blocks this.
If you use a plugin like Wordfence please set it in learning mode.
Also, if you are using Cloudflare, please make sure that is set as in our guide https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/, you need to disable the Rocket Loader.
Thank you!
Hello, I’m currently experimenting with News Hub Pro as I really like the template. I can’t get one thing though. That more of the top post’s thumbnail is displayed on the home page in the flex block. I like the overlay, but I’d like the whole thing to be a bit further to the left. Unfortunately I can’t find any setting for it
We are experiencing slow page loading which, according to a P3 report (Plugin Profiler), is caused by a high loading time of TagDiv Composer, in the order of 91.41% of the loading time of the other plugins.

Hello,
There is a list https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/ with thumbs and blocks, so please check what blocks you use, and then you can disable the thumbs that are not used.
Thank you!
Hello,
The problem is related to this error -> https://i.imgur.com/RsmgKzx.png
Usually, that problem it is related to the CORS policy that are blocking the access, that should fix the problem, also I see that you have another problem https://www.screencast.com/t/6EpdZBQMela this problem can be solved using those guides:

Hello,
I saw you also set the color for the menu and changed the block for posts -> https://i.imgur.com/rbsYnz0.jpg -> https://i.imgur.com/mVLadrf.png.
I’m glad you figured it out.
Also, you can add the weather from tagdiv Composer https://forum.tagdiv.com/weather-widget/.
Thank you!
Hello,
so our theme never had this option to show the post title in a single template, when you are on the featured image, you can check this in the first demos with standard templates from theme panel https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_fashion/td-post-the-10-runway-trends-youll-be-wearing-this-year/
Also, the title is showing on blocks, that’s how they were built to display the title.
Thank you!
Hello,
Please make sure you have enabled the thumbs in Theme Panel -> Block -> https://www.screencast.com/t/ZvDvpiBFKY3
After activating the thumbnail sizes, you need to regenerate your thumbnails using a plugin. Check this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/.
Thank you!
Hello @marvinschaap!
Access the mobile viewport: https://www.screencast.com/t/XDQJedlggSB and check the flex block settings. Let the offset field empty with no space, no value and see the results: https://www.screencast.com/t/peVbVmUDE. For more information about offset feature, please check this tutorial: https://forum.tagdiv.com/offset-feature/.
Thank you!
Dear all,
many thank’s for your important advices.
In fact, it was an access problem to admin-ajax.php file, located inside /wp-admin/ folder.
This because I restricted /wp-admin/ area only to certain IP addresses, using this guide, with above code, located in .htaccess inside /wp-admin/ folder:
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
#whitelist home IP address
allow from 123.123.123.123So all requests made to /wp-admin/ were blocked.
To solve this problem, I applied this exception, with this code:
# Permit a specific ".php" file
<FilesMatch "^admin-ajax\.php$">
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</FilesMatch>Many thank’s for your advices!
Hello,
You can see the slug here -> https://i.imgur.com/kmVgnHQ.png after you create your cpt and after set in the blocks.
Thank you!
Hello,
1. The custom field will display the elements from the group ACF -> https://i.imgur.com/aDjMBtj.png -> https://i.imgur.com/RKNy4Pf.png
2. Please try to set the name in the custom filed name.
3. You can set sort for block https://i.imgur.com/80S9r2b.png
Thank you!
Hello,
Please let me know if tried to connect from other browsers, maybe you have some extensions that block the request to connect -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/instagram-access-account-configuartion-failing/
Thank you!
Hello!
Yes, it seems to be the same problem here. It’s possible to be from the firewall or security module which blocks the admin-ajax.php request, which usually displays a 403 or 404 error.
If you don’t use a security plugin, please ask your host about this, maybe you have a security module that blocks this.
If you use a plugin like Wordfence please set it in learning mode.
Also, if you are using Cloudflare, please make sure that is set as in our guide https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/, you need to disable the Rocket Loader.
Let me know the results!

Hi,
Those modules comes with the demos for CPTs, and are created in code -> https://i.imgur.com/LZIyuI9.png
The flex block x is added in tagDiv Composer, but this has by default only 2 modules. If you like those from image, I can provide the plugins for them.
You can get the plugins by downloading the theme from themeforest or accessing this link ->< https://we.tl/t-G4cusNK7mu
I hope this will help you!
Hi,
We understand that this update is not to everyone’s liking, but I don’t think it’s possible to please all customers, because everyone needs different options. The tagDiv team tries their best to add as many options as possible and make the theme as good as possible.
If you researched the list of what was introduced in this update, then you would have seen that this update is based on CPT, ACF and positions on the frontend.
If you want a specific layout, how many options does the theme have now, I don’t think it can be achieved with the Newspaper theme, you just have to try to use tagDv Composer and cloud templates, once you learn how to use them you won’t need to wait after the demos from the updates and you can create your own templates.

I’m impressed with your efforts to make newspapers theme with top notch features and ease of using the theme options. I love your theme and also I recommend it whenever I get a chance.
In recent updates you have added great features like content submission, contact form, opt-in form, subscription, etc. You tagdiv team is passionated towards their great work.
You have almost everything in theme to make amazing websites but
I have an idea if you can add it in the tagdiv page builder, “TABLE OF CONTENTS”, TOC block in the tagdiv builder help us to add table of contents block and help us to modify its style according the theme’s style.
Yes, we can use plugin for that purpose but if its possible for you to add it in the theme it is really helpful to remove any other plugin dependency, and styling of the TOC block.
If your team align with my thoughts and if it is okay for you team then surely add TOC block in tagdiv page builder.
Hello Tagdiv Team,
I want to make listing website.
Is there any Ajax reload option for search filter element on TagDiv composer? Like this search filter – https://demo.crocoblock.com/cardealer-new/cars/
Ajax Reload – with the help of Ajax, we can filter out the list without page reload
I had a similar issue and resolved after discovering the lockdown of the admin area I had done was blocking access to the Ajax request. It would be nice if this was request was outside the admin area.
<domain>/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?td_theme_name=Newspaper&v=11.5.1
Hi, I’m trying to locate and remove a background image that is linked to the WordPress Media Library but uses an absolute link to the image on our previous Web host, so instead of
background-image:url(“https://rethinking65.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/bghd.jpg”) !important;
it’s still set to
background-image:url(“http://rethinking65.webpublisherpro.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/bghd.jpg”) !important;
and it’s a non-SSL link as well. I have been through the entire header template, but I cannot locate where this image is assigned, so that I cam remove it or replace it with an image from the Media Library at our current host. The page source shows this at line 2570:
<div class=”tdi_22_rand_style td-element-style” ><div class=”td-element-style-before”><style>
/* phone */
@media (max-width: 767px)
{
.tdi_22_rand_style > .td-element-style-before{
content:” !important;
width:100% !important;
height:100% !important;
position:absolute !important;
top:0 !important;

display:block !important;

background-image:url(“http://rethinking65.webpublisherpro.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/bghd.jpg”) !important;
opacity:0.2 !important;
background-size:cover !important;
background-position:center top !important;
}
}
</style></div><style>
and the page is here:
Thanks for any assistance you can provide in locating where this would be set.
Hi, after the latest update the “Primary Category” field in the Post Settings area is Resetting to “Auto select a category” each time I open the post inside Wp-Admin for the editing. In short: the module is not saving my choices.
This is also reflecting in the home page: now every new post has the first category shown, ignoring my own choice for the “Primary Category” and so the label shown.
The “Primary Category” I’m talking about is this one.
Example
1) I go online with this post: “Strictly come dancing: what happens tonight on BBC One”. It has categories: “Watch Now”, “BBC”, “TV”, “Live streaming”, etc
2) I’m selecting “BBC” as Primary Category in the Post Settings, because I want that category to be shown under the post title in the homepage (using Block 14)
3) Instead, the Home Page is showing “Watch Now”
4) I go back in Wp-Admin to edit the post and I find that Primary Category is set on “Auto” (while I had selected “BBC”)
5) I select again “BBC” and save the post
6) But it’s not working. Everytime I go back to editing, the field is on “Auto”. It’s not saving.
So, what went wrong? How to resolve?
Hello
I know there might be a lot of people raving for the update but I’m sadly not one of them and here is why, which hopefully will help you to understand different point of views.
The major and all-praised update 12 brought us essentially just two features – most of the other features are just part of the so-called directory part, like front end sumbission.
1. Directory
Well to be honest everything you showed now was something we all expected with the 11 or 11.5 update when you advertised CPT and directory functions and what not. This was expected for that update but now you deliver something for what we don’t even have a documentation.
Let’s be honest here. The system will never be a full directory system because you guy are offering a newspaper theme and not a directory plugin. There goes so much into a directory functionality. CPT does not mean it needs to be a directory feature.
If you want something that comes close to a directory, allow your users the integration of GeoDirectory which is a real and proven plugin. I tried to utilize CPT to make the design work but your theme is lacking of many option to retrieve the code from GeoDirectory etc. Last it was mentioned this will be improved with this update. I’ll need to verify yet.
2. User Reviews
I’m actually not sure if this was even requested a lot based on the feedback on TF and your support forum. Most complaints about reviews were in regards to schema and that the system is lacking for options for author reviews. These days a lot of people are reviewing products, services, etc. This is were more features, granular options and design is very much needed.
In my case I’m now stuck with something I have not asked and it keeps loading up on my backend and wasting resources. Please let me know how to get rid of the user review part on my website. I don’t want to have it there or load anything.
3. Give users the option to enable or disable any features you release instead of just loading them on the site. See my User-Review complaint. Give me a toggle to turn it off so it does not load any additional files etc – or make it a plugin.
4. Focus on what you are – a newspaper theme and not the magic theme that does everything. Your theme is $58 and nobody should expect all the functionality from premium plugin out there. You’ll always get more requests from people to incorporate features from paid plugins into your theme. This is not working. Of course people are trying to go the cheapest way if possible but you have to decide if that’s good for you or sustainable. Author reviews function/features is content. A standalone Directory system is not.
Focus on content. Focus on a lean theme that is fast and does not have miles-long waste of full code on the page. Excel in bug fixes, make them more often. Relax on big feature announcements or updates when you release only half-baked solutions -> the first release of paywall (that was a mess) or the directory now.
5. Don’t let people wait 4 months for bug fixes because you are working on big updates. Your work is affecting all our websites and some of your clients are relying on good ranking and user experience to make some money. We were waiting too long for the review schema fix and the flex block requests and loading issue. Paywall still didn’t address a couple of things.
6. Deliver quality improvements not quantity features.
I have all sympathies for your hard work but for me, the wait was useless as nothing really changed. Now I have to wait another 4 months to hopefully get an update that takes care of author reviews so we can write reviews that look amazing. Or I have to switch to a theme that has that already but plays nice with CPT/ACF from other plugins.
Sorry to be the downer here.
Hi,
To display the revises that can be set by users in Flex blocks you’ll need to use the flex block x -> https://i.imgur.com/VPpcbKB.png
I hope this will help you!
Thank you!
Hello Michael,
Unfortunately, our theme doesn’t have this type of option to display random images.
You can try to do it using an acf -> https://acfblocks.com/blocks/random-image/
Thank you!
