Check the Widgets section because it is possible that your widgets to be inactive. Move them to be active, clear all the caches and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
I was customizing my website by using TagDiv Composer and then this appeared Errors happened during tdcIframeData.init() -> bindViewsModelsWrappers()!
I have uninstalled all my plugins and refreshed the page except for TagDiv Composer Plugin.
I have cleared all my cache.
I have uninstalled TagDiv plugin and reinstalled it again
But the problem remains, going back from square one and starting to customize it all will take too much of my time. Please assist me in this.
Regards,
Saiem
Hello DaveS,
Please check your Widgets area and see if your widgets are there or not. It’s possible that the widgets to be in the inactive widgets area and you will have to move to be active. Clear all the caches and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
Please check the theme system status and make modifications to the parameters mentioned in this guide, if necessary
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
You could ask your hosting to make them for you if needed. Then see if the issue is solved. Also check the PHP version, the theme is tested with PHP versions up to version 7.1 anything higher could cause issues.
If there is still a problem please try to deactivate all plugins except theme plugins, and clear any installed cache. Then check again.
Thanks
Hi,
I have inspected your tagDiv Slide gallery and I did not find any problems with the short thumbnails, sorry! Please remove all of your untested plugins if you are using something like this, clear all of your caches, purge CDN files and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi Scumbag,
Please keep in mind that not all of footer templates use that three widgets from Widgets section for footer area, sorry! Please notice that our theme has a big list of footer templates with different styles which can be found here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-footer-templates-2/ After changes, you should clear all of the caches and check the results.
Regarding on your second problem, please provide a useful screenshot so I can b able to investigate it closer and also, so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for the message!
Hello dheerhuis,
I have inspected your footer section and there it seems to be the link of your logo, without any image, as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/Hkl9Xc28KIM Try to remove any elements from footer logo from your Theme panel and then clear all the caches and check the results. Another alternative, in this case, would be to use a bit of CSS code to hide this section. Try the code below and place it in Theme panel -> Custom CSS area.
The code is here ->
.footer-logo-wrap a{
display:none;
}
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message!
Can you please tell me how to fix the bug where the mobile menu is unresponsive for 20-30 seconds when every page loads? This issue makes the theme essentially useless.
Note:
* I have already disabled all plugins and cleared the cache and this did NOT fix the issue.
* I have re-downloaded V8.1 of the theme from Envato and re-installed it via FTP and this did NOT fix the issue.
* I have not made any code or functionality changes to the theme.
The site with the issue is: http://skunkology.com/
Many thanks.
Did you test your pages with F12 to see if errors?
Google did start some big changes in August, moving stuff around, converting a lot of properties to mobile first (e.g., Google news undergoing transition to mobile first view even on desktop).
There was also update to the Automattic AMP plugin last month if using that, so change might have impacted something.
Also, as I understand it, not all pages get served as AMP versions by default since technically I think there is some usability threshold for it to get cached fully on Google’s edge CDN — but things change so much over there, hard to say.
What is your favorite image optimizer plugin and content cache plug-in?
How long have you used it with the Newspaper theme?
Looking for some general feedback… There are so many options nowadays! Wooh.
Thanks in advance 🙂
Well, we aren’t using that for normal stuff.
It’s the way http/2 works on Plesk/Onyx — so, that is the minor hiccup we’re still sorting out. I think it has to do with the way that NGINX can run the code faster without the Apache layer, and yet grabs and compresses the code running on Apache to serve the cached copy in compressed format.
What’s funny is that I bugged Plesk/ONYX about adding some kind of security setup panel to navigate the complexity, and they added a ‘security advisor’ plugin/extension to do a one click setup. Nice. Have not yet tried it, though.
It may be with new version we don’t have to deal with the NGINX stuff anymore, but that was how it was done initially. I’ve been kinda waiting for improvements on that, with intention of making it the baseline for January 1, 2018. December will be the test month. Right now, it’s house cleaning for php 7 as we have a lot of old creaky shtml stuff to retire!
Hey Chris, you bring up some very good points and for most parts I agree with you. I would be way happier without any form of AMP, especially since it could hurt SEO (double content). Since my website is targeting Netherlands and Belgium (written language is Dutch), the speed of the internet doesn’t really matter since we have both very good cable- as mobile connections. See the following:
https://www.iamexpat.nl/expat-info/dutch-expat-news/netherlands-has-fastest-internet-europe
The one major problem is when you’re content marketing products, which in return should deliver good DA-ratings (Domain Authority). The mobile pages that NewsMag delivers are working perfectly fine (with a few tweaks here and there). However, when trying to get content up in Google News, it’s more likely to happen with AMP-posts, simply because of the speed and simplicity they deliver. A normal page with cache gets loaded up in like 1.5 to 2.5 seconds, yet the AMP-version takes half a second or less, most of the time even lower than 200 milliseconds locally.
So to answer your question: No, the user experience doesn’t suffer when throwing AMP-pages out to just use the mobile version. Content marketing, on the other side, does in my current opinion. It also brings more maintenance and more chains in the line that could break.
Since amp ‘forbids’ client side scripting, it may be they are blocking anything being ‘run’ — or it may be that it runs first time, but then when cached on Google’s CDN for edge loading, the element script can’t run, as it’s not actually on the CDN.
There are folks doing stuff with Ajax with AMP for refreshing origin content; which is a bit like expiring the bucket on a CDN to refresh the local copy of content.
Personally, I’m of a mind, that AMP is an interim solution while wifi speed and phones play catchup. For instance, a new iPad PRO is more powerful than a 10 year old PC that HTML5 was built for.
In theory, one could argue that simply building your own print template with lean code, your desired custom elements like forms, or related post, or video, or whatever, could be ‘dressed down’ to lowest form like a print template, serve that for mobile and not even use AMP. Speed would be the same, especially if you’re already using CDN — and having a lightning bolt in SERPS doesn’t mean your page is better than everybody else’s page, just that it’s compatible, and might not even show up in SERPS, with all other things being equal with relevance, site age, content, etc.
Does the user experience suffer with AMP? Then why use it?
Questions for another time and place probably, but after nearly 2 years since the BETA, we’re kind of re-evaluating this for 2018, frankly.
Just more ramblings … 🙂
Hi,
There should not be any problem is saving theme panel settings. Please check the theme system status and see if the parameters are set according to this guide
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
You could ask the hosting provider to make theme for you if needed. Then check if everything works properly.
If there is still a problem, please deactivate all plugins except theme plugins and clear any installed cache. Then check in the theme panel while saving settings, if there are any errors in the browser console. Press F12 to bring up the inspector window and then open the console
– https://www.screencast.com/t/ENQ5a8CB8
Check if there are any errors in this console. The admin ajax process could be blocked by the server, because of the multiple requests that it makes. In this case you can contact the hosting provider and explain this situation or provide a screenshot with the error.
They should be able to fix it if this is happening.
Please let us know the results.
Thanks
Hello jjphmedia,
I have inspected your website and I saw that you are using some untested plugins. Do you have tried without these? Please remove all of them, clear all the caches and check the results. I have checked your Search function and it seems to work as expected.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
When I am composing a page using Divtag composer. I add elements and click Edit Content and the WP Editor pops up but does not load, therefore I cannot edit this.
I was told by your support team – that I it could be a ‘plugin conflict so please disable all plugins except the page builder, clear cache’
I disabled all plugins and cache it using WP Super Cache – still does not work.
Then I was told to:-
‘Please increase your system status parameters: https://www.screencast.com/t/GoGp9Nplif as mentioned here:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/’
I do not understand how to do this? The system-status-parameters-guide just tells me I need to increase it. But HOW?
The template should be easier for Beginners to use, not go through all this just to edit something
PLease advise
Thanks
Hi,
Usually image problems are caused by plugins, you could try to deactivate all plugins except theme plugins and clear any installed cache. Then check the results.
In case of plugin conflicts the theme lazy load is among the first to break, try disabling this feature from the theme panel
– https://www.screencast.com/t/q4MzlKTiPH
Thanks
Hi,
Please try to deactivate all you plugins except the plugins provided in the theme package, and if you have caching, clear the cache. If you use CDN, purge the files. Then check if this has any effect in the theme panel saving issue. If this is not a server problem, then maybe a plugin is causing it.
If you have added custom code to the theme or WordPress files, remove it temporary for testing.
Thanks
Hello,
My theme panl of Newspaper 8 does not save anymore (e.g. Sub.Footer Settings). I contacted my hosting company and they were not able to fix the problem and wrote this message to me:
Hello Nerissa,
We have checked Apache, Mod Security and PHP logs; however, there are no ones related to your website. The same thing is when we check the Console tab for your website in a browser.
Also, we have tried testing your website with different PHP versions with different extensions, but it didn’t help. Cache plugin does not cause this issue as well.
This means that there are no blocks on the server’s end. In this case, we would like to recommend contacting the developers of this theme for an assistance.
Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us via Live Chat or reply to this ticket. We will gladly assist you with them.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi,
First please check the theme system status and make modifications to these WordPress and server parameters
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
You could ask your hosting provider to make the changes for you if needed.
Then check if the composer works properly. If there is still a problem, please deactivate all plugins except theme provided plugins, clear any installed cache and check again.
Please let us know the results.
Thanks
Hello burgos,
I have checked your website and it seems your images are stuck in opacity 0. This usually happens on a js error caused by plugins or customization or other external optimization tools.
Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset CDN files if you use it. Please also check any custom code you might have added to the theme panel or the theme files. If you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme to make sure it does not affect the proper functioning of the theme.
Thank you!
Hello jornk,
First of all, please ensure that you have right installed the theme via FTP way, then check the system status parameters to be right increased according to our documentation, clear all caches and check the results. Also, if you are using some untested plugins, you should remove all of these and try using only the required and tested plugins to rule out any conflicting plugins.
If the problem is still there, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so we can further inspect it closer your setup page. Provide there the link to this topic so we can quickly identify you.
Thanks for the message!
Yes, well — theme doesn’t manage your open graph settings, image compression level, server speed, IP blocking, Facebook API, etc.
All you can do on theme and plugin side is add the tags, check that FB can access them, adjust anything breaking the tags, or blocking loading of images, etc., and then it’s up to FB to capture the content.
You cannot pay them or force them or berate them — they don’t care; you’re not paying them to grab your posts.
I’ve been in the beta FB stuff since FB first launched, and this is a recurring issue. But there you are.
Setup your FB developer account, check your posts, code, etc., learn to clear FB cache of your post if it’s hiccup-ing, check your page speed carefully, caching, image speed, etc. — all that stuff impacts FB being able to get stuff “quick.” A 600×450 image that is 35kb will be more likely to get captured properly than a 350kb image the same size, for example.
Anyway, good luck.
Try
a) clear cache on ios device browser, Safari
b) clear cache on website, clear transients with wp-optimize
c) disable the image animation effect (fake lazy loading)
d) some ads may freeze browser – not much you can do about that; we switched to ‘text ads only’ with AdSense to fix that issue here on some sites (I use my iPad every day!)
Hi,
Please make sure this option is activated here
– https://www.screencast.com/t/a1VMwsgKrM44
The avatars should be displayed properly if it is. Try to clear any installed cache as well.
Thanks
