Hi
Our theme was built to respect the google standards in structured data regards and we didn’t do any tests with: https://validator.w3.org/ I’ve added this on our list and we will run some test to check if there is an incompatibility in html structure of the page. Meanwhile you can try to change or remove the role for search form by editing header-menu.php http://screencast.com/t/DzGjD3gLXF3
The pingback_url parameter should displays the pingback XML-RPC file url: http://screencast.com/t/l39D6FZuw9Q but in your case the url it’s empty. This issue could be caused by a plugin so you could try by deactivating all, leave just Visual Composer active, clear the cache ant test again.
Regarding the css errors these appear because it’s not recommended to use css code inside div tags.
The theme generate a custom css for each block, depending by user’s options, but this code cannot be included in style.css file. This problem it’s present on our demo too: http://screencast.com/t/UmG1YSWBEobU but does not affect the page load.
The theme use h3 tags for entry tiles but you can change that by modifying this functions: http://screencast.com/t/owy14wCxl
Thanks!

Hi
Because you’re using a very old version of the theme the update process could be a bit tricky.
First make sure you do a full backup to the database and your current wp install: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups in case something goes wrong you can allays get back to the previous version. Also consider the steps I’ve provide below:
– setup a maintenance mode and you can use a plugin for that.
– empty all caches/purge files if you also use CDN host then disable any services of this type until you switch to the new theme
– disable all plugins
– install the theme then install the required plugins: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/
– switch back the rest of the plugins and make sure that they work fine with the theme, you can check this by enabling the plugins one by one then test the site.
Regarding your customizations these will be lost during the update process so you have to re-add them again in theme files or in child theme. Also make sure that the customizations are still compatible with the new theme because many files are changed and also many functions so there is a chance to appear some conflicts.
You also will need to redo your pages because in a previous version the shortcodes for blocks has been changed so they won’t work anymore. Just edit the page with Visual Composer, delete the existent blocks then re-add them again. Such that the new shortcodes will be generated and the page should be displayed fine.
Let us know how it goes and if you need further instructions please provide more details.
Thanks!
Hello,
I have checked your site on different versions of IE but i could not see the problem. Images appear to display fine: http://screencast.com/t/Q5uwedNcmb2 Please try to clear your cache/browser cache and check again. Let us know if you require further assistance.
Thank you!
Hello,
I tested the code from the other post again and it still works for the mobile version: http://screencast.com/t/nhgWl1Awc1
Please double check your code from the theme panel. If there is an open tag somewhere it could cause the code to not work. Also please clear your cache so the changes can apply. CLear it from the caching plugin and your browser cache as well: https://kb.iu.edu/d/ahic
Thank you!
Yes, well if you LOOK at the report
a) you need to optimize some of your images
b) you need to set expiration headers for some of the file types
c) you need to make sure gzip/deflate working for some file types
Did you clear cache from old site before switching to new theme?
Did you regenerate thumbs for new theme?
Did you reset anything loading from CDN?
Best to test with post page vs home page for speed testing.
You need to actually *do* all the fixes outlined on both GTMetrix and Google PageSpeed insights for the problems, like compression, expiration headers, etc.
Hi there,
It seems since updating to the latest Jan 7th Newspaper theme that the social buttons at the top of my website appear differently when the website displays without the www. The dropdown arrows also display as small boxes. I’ve set the preferred domain within webmaster tools so cannot understand why it would do this. There’s also an error on the mobile version where they cannot click one of the featured homepage images or that post title.
I’ve flushed the cache, reuploaded the latest Newspaper theme update with no success and have no new plugins activated.
Could this be the latest 4.4.1 WordPress update?
Would really appreciate a quick fix for this.
Thanks,
Mark
Before me everything works perfectly.
But today I went to install a demo to prove that such a video site would look like with this theme and have a starting point from which to work faster.
But no matter the demo to install all give error in loading data.
Is there a problem in your server or my server?
Ajax error. Cannot connect to server, it may be due to a misconfiguration on the server.

Try the combination of “Gator Cache” and “Autoptimize”…my site is running like hell. 😉
I use WP Rocket here: http://www.techfalls.com/
I’m not happy with page speed. I tried WP Super Cache. That was not so bad. But i really hate w3 total cache. So many options. I think that increase page load time instead of improving. Anyway, I have compared other sites with mine. These are http://www.awesomebryner.com who used WP Rocket and Speed Booster plugin and http://urbanmusichq.co/ who used wp super cache with tagdiv speed booster. So here is the result: https://gtmetrix.com/compare/XfrAouTn/kqO8HAk7/vyUNl0r5

Hi Andrei, thanks but I deactivated all plugin except VC cleared the cache but I get the same problem

Hi
I am not sure why this happens but you can try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches and test again. If the problem persist please provide your site url so I can inspect it closer.
Thanks!
Hello,
I have checked your website again and it works on my end. Please clear your cache and browser cache

Thanks.
Hello nmichieletto,
Please try to disable all the active plugins, except Visual Composer, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come with our theme and test it again. It seems to be conflicting plugins. Please let us know how it goes after this advice.
Thank you for the message!
Hi
1. Try this css in theme panel > custom code custom css: http://screencast.com/t/LWo79pKINwG
.td-header-sp-logo img{
padding-right: 24px;
margin-right: 45px;
}
2. From what I can see in your screen there is an additional distance added on top of trending now block. I am not sure why that distance appear but can be a margin or a padding set by a plugin. Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches and test again.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hi
I’ve checked your site an ipad and the indicated image it’s displayed fine on my side: http://screencast.com/t/dDqyLMF8 I am not sure why it doesn’t appear fin on your side but could be a cache issue so try to empty your ipad cache memory and test again. Also you can try to deactivate all plugins except visual Composer, just to make sure that this is not caused by some plugin.
Thanks!
Hello madeyoulookstudio,
I have checked your screencast and I saw what’s the problem. It seems to be an issue might be caused by conflicting plugins. Please try to disable all the active plugins, except Visual Composer, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme. Also, please check your custom modification if you have some changes for this kind of block wich could cause this layout damage.
Let us know how it goes and if you need more assistance after you have followed my solution, please provide your website URL so I can further inspect the issue.
Thank you for the message!
Hello arpita,
I have checked your website and I saw that you have a problem with your sidebar. It seems to be an error that might be caused by the conflicting plugins. Try to disable all the active plugins, except Visual Composer, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme. It is necessary follow these steps because you should rule out the plugins in conflict. Please try this solution and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hi
This issue could be caused by the widgets tile. You need to use just standard letters on the titles. Any other symbol such as !, @, #, $, or – , _ or language specific characters, will cause the sidebar and the widget area to remove widgets and sidebars.
Try to deactivate all plugins again, leave just Visual Composer, empty all caches and test again.You also can try to make a new local install on your computer, with the latest version of WordPress, the current version of the theme available on themeforest, V 2.3.4, and Visual Composer plugin, then check if the problem is still there.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hi Bogdan,
when I try your code in Live CSS editor, it works just perfect.
When I paste it in the Custom CSS area of the theme panel – nothing happens. (No cache plugin active)
Are there any common issues with Newspaper V 6.6.3 and the Custom CSS area not working?
Thanks,
David
UPDATE: the pagination issue may be from a bug that was introduced in WordPress 4.4.1: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/35344 from that bug report it seems that they will fix it in WordPress 4.4.2 . Until they fix it, our solution should work as a fix.
other reports:
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/35353
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/35359
@sunkast yes… browsers tend to cache header responses more aggressively.
Nevermind. Had a couple friends look at it and it appears to be a browser cache issue on my end.
Hello Miguel_Ramirez1,
Please try to disable all the active plugins, except Visual Composer, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins. Another thing you can do is check if you have GD Library Installed. You can see it in your Cpanel. If not, contact your hosting provider. Also, please check your System Status to see if any parameters need to be adjusted: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Let us know if the problem is still there afterwards.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message
Hi,
I checked your website and it seems something is wrong with the line height as it does not respond to the inspector. Please disable all plugins except visual composer and clear your cache. It looks like a conflicting plugin. If the problem is still there after you disable all plugins then please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can take a look. Also include a link to this topic.
Thank you!
Andrei, thanks for response.
I have not set any redirects and already tried to deactivate all plugins (now only Visual Composer is active). Nothing helps.
.htaccess is standard:
# BEGIN WPSuperCache
# END WPSuperCache
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Hi
I’ve checked your site and noticed that the links from homepage pagination have a 301 Moved Permanently status: http://screencast.com/t/SnbAwrJIYTe That means that either you have set a redirect for these links and if is the case try to remove it, or a plugin make this redirect automatically. If you didn’t set the redirection try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches including browser’s cache and test the site again.
Thanks!
