Hi,
Please try to delete the cache and check again.
Please make a full backup to all files and database => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAJXrSI-dDA before update.
Thank you!
Hello,
What I can recommend is to use a dedicated cache plugin and some image optimization plugins.
Also, you can try our guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
I hope this will help you!
Thank you!
Hi,
So, do you want to have comments on the pages or posts?
For the comments on page please enable this option from Theme Panel -> Template Settings -> Page Template => https://www.screencast.com/t/izMZkco5
This happens because you have in settings > discussion check the box for automatically closed comments after a set numbers of days -> https://www.screencast.com/t/96CzDYJIrl please uncheck the box and save the settings, after that clear all cache and see if there is still a problem ( the “Comments are closed” text should disappear and comments will open again ).
Thank you!
Hello,
Please provide some screenshots.
Also, please let me know if you have the mobile theme plugin activated, if yes, then the problem is caused by the cache plugin.
If the cache plugin does not have mobile support then the mobile theme version can be delivered instead.
The solution would be to use the recommended WP Super Cache plugin instead and activate these settings (especially the mobile device support): https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
Thank you!
I have Yoast & the author archives are on. Clearing the cache seems to have worked—both the cache plug-in and Cloudflare. Thank you so much!
Hello Charbel!
Make sure that the theme and plugins are up to date.
Please execute these steps:
1. deactivate TagDiv Composer
2. uninstall (delete) TagDiv Composer
3. clear cache (if a cache plugin is present).
4. install TagDiv Composer
5. activate TagDiv Composer
6. clear cache (if a cache plugin is present).
Clear the cache and let me know the results!
Thank you!
Hello @hasan-2 !
Make a test and deactivate ALL plugins except tagDiv ones, also if you are using a cache plugin, deactivate it, clear all cache and try again.
Let me know the results!
Thank you!

Did you check for the object cache file? What server do you have?
Dear Ana Maria,
Thank you for your prompt response and for the suggestion about checking the cache.
I would like to clarify that I fully understand the potential issues caused by caching and have already checked for these. However, the problem with the theme license activation persists. I can assure you that this is not due to caching overwriting the theme settings.
Your suggestion implies that this issue may be a punitive measure for those who have not purchased the theme. I would like to emphasize that I am a legitimate purchaser of the Newspaper theme by tagDiv, and this issue is causing significant disruption to my longstanding website.
As I have mentioned previously, I am unable to provide access to the website due to the sensitive nature of the information it contains. I kindly request your understanding in this matter.
If you could provide a detailed step-by-step guide on how to resolve this issue, my developer and I would be more than capable of implementing it.
Thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to a satisfactory resolution.
Best regards,
Hi,
Unfortunately, without access we cannot investigate, because problems vary from one website to another, have you tried to do a test only with tagDiv plugins?
I think an object cache causes the problem -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/general-options-may-interfere-newspaper-theme/. Please check the guide and delete the file and try after to activate the theme.
Thank you!
Hello,
The object cache causes this issue, maybe you have a plugin that creates this one, or you have a plugin cache on the host.
Please check if you have an object cache file stored on your server.
We have a guide on how to check the Object Cache if is applied on the Backend -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/general-options-may-interfere-newspaper-theme/
Thank you!
Hello,
We recommend Super cache -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
We have many users who also use wp rocket -> https://www.infophilic.com/get-almost-100-pagespeed-newspaper-theme/ -> https://www.andraware.com/wp-rocket-for-newspaper-theme/
If you use Wp Rocket, you can try to exclude the following files
/jquery-?[0-9.](.*)(.min|.slim|.slim.min)?.js
/jquery-migrate(.min)?.js
/wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/Newspaper/js/tagdiv_theme.min.js

Thank you!
Hi,
Please add the favicon on the homepage there’s an option Customize icon => https://www.screencast.com/t/I2uVvP4b -> Site identity -> Site icon -> Change image -> publish => https://www.screencast.com/t/lY9WEOZEj
Please make sure that you have cleared your cache.
Also, you can check this article https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/appearance/favicon-in-search
Thank you!
Hello, I been trying to fix this issue for a while. It is esencial that the webpage updates instantly. The problem is that I create a new post and is not visible after a while. The same happens with a change in a page style.
I can see the changes when I am logged in, but when I log out they disappear. I already try to update, fix, delate and re-instal the WP Super Cache Plugin. I followed all the settings mention in the guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
Webpage: https://www.rotativodemexico.com/
hello, what do you recommend as a cache plugin or module (wprocket? total cache? super cache?) and do you have guides or articles that explain in detail the configurations to follow?
Hello,
I recommend using cloud templates and flex blocks and big grid flex blocks.
Also, I recommend using the cache option on the blocks -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/use-flex-blocks-cache-option/

Hi, Bettina!
Thank you for the quick reply!
Disabled all plugins except TagDiv ones, purged Cache, still the same
Hello,
In most cases, this problem occurs because you have the latest version of WordPress with an older version of the theme.
Please use the last version of WordPress 6.2 with the last theme version Newspaper 12.3.1 (if you have a theme version older, then tagDiv Composer does not work) and check to see if the problem persists.
If you need to make an update, before please make a full backup to all files and the database, in case something goes wrong. => https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Here you can find information about the changes that have occurred in each update over time https://tagdiv.com/newspaper/
I recommend that you update the theme manually https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ via FTP/cPanel/File Manager, also if possible disable extra plugins during the theme update to avoid any problems that may arise and make sure that you have activated the tagDiv Standard pack plugin to keep the website’s look. You can try to update the theme on a staging website.
After you update the theme, you need to update the theme plugins too.
In the worst cases, the settings in the theme panel may be lost (there have been isolated cases), in these cases, after the theme plugins that were previously used are activated, you will have to use a backup for the theme panel -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-export-theme-settings/
Also, make sure that all the settings are like in our requirements, please follow the guide carefully: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
and please increase all requirements that are lower, and follow all steps.
Also, if the problem persists please check if you do not have a plugin conflict, please deactivate ALL plugins except tagDiv plugins, also if you are using a child theme or cache plugin, deactivate them, clear all cache (also from your browser) and try again.
Let me know the results!
Thank you!
Hello!
Double check the links. Please make sure that the theme and the plugins are up to date.
Make a test and deactivate ALL plugins except tagDiv ones, also if you are using a cache plugin, deactivate it, clear all cache and try again.
Let me know the results!
Thank you!
