Try deleting the child theme.
Error 500 has a number of likely causes. Here’s what I’d check:
– Make sure you have no errors in .htaccess and wp-config.php files, particularly syntax errors. If you have edited wp-config.php, check that your editor uses UTF-8 encoding and not something else.
– Increasing WP memory limit will have no effect if PHP memory is lower than that. Check with your host if you can’t configure PHP yourself via php.ini or user.ini or however you have it st.
– Empty all caches, purge CDN cache as well if you use it.
– Delete all plugins that come with the theme (TD Composer in particular) then upload the new versions.
– Check your Child theme code, maybe some changes are required there. (You can see the default template in /code folder that came with the theme).
– Deactivate all security options temporarily (firewalls etc).
– Anything in your error_log file?
Don’t know for sure but it was 8.x maybe 8.6 or something like that.
So I have deleted Newspaper folder via FTP and uploaded new folder.
I have Newspaper-child setup, so I have activated Child theme, and then it happened.
Hi,
If you don not use it, it should be deactivated. Only one theme can be active at a time in WordPress by default (a child theme would be an exception).
So if you use a different theme than Newspaper, it will be deactivated. If I misunderstand something please correct me.
Thanks
Hi there…where can I find the custom template file I imported from the cloud library in File Manager. I am trying to copy the theme to the child theme to make some customizations such as adding ACF Fields.
Hi,
Unfortunately or theme do not have any option to do that, but you can edit the header file and set there a condition -> https://www.screencast.com/t/HjpZnf0qSBp also if you do this in a child theme your changes will remain after theme update.
The path is this -> wp-content/themes/Newspaper/header.php
Thank you for your understanding.
Just wondering if there is a way to get the patch files to go from 9.1 to 9.2.2 of Newspaper?
Unfortunately, my particular installation requires me to modify one or two core files that can’t be addressed in a child theme. And since my download from Themeforest only has the latest patch 9.21->9.2.2 then it’s quite laborious to look through all the changes in Diff.
Hi,
Basically you will have to modify the module you want to display a time ago date. An example is provided in this topic
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/the-time-ago-in-block-3-is-correct-but-another-block-is-wrong-time/
The theme modules are here – https://www.screencast.com/t/pgEdt29bC
Each block and grid is made of modules – https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-blocks-modules/
If you want to display that date in a module or more modules, each will have to be modified.
They can be modified in a child theme, this way you won;t lose the customization after a theme update when the theme files are replaced
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
A guide or documentation about such a modification is not available, if there was I would gladly provide it to you.
Hi,
Please deactivate all non theme plugin, child theme (if you have), and remove all code that was add in header or theme files.
If there is still a problem, you can send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login, as well as cPanel or FTP if possible. We will take a look. Include a link to this topic in the email.
Thanks.
Hi,
For the email there is no such setting. Only if you make the modification in the code
Here – https://www.screencast.com/t/zSD5DJa73w
And here – https://www.screencast.com/t/7svM9NfOnN
There you can add the nofollow link property or what is needed. It can be done in a child theme if you use one.
Thanks
Hi,
You could modify the page template files, these would be them
– http://prntscr.com/mafepk
These can be modified in a child theme if you have one. Maybe add conditions so the new PHP code loads only for certain pages, so you can still use the respective template.
Thanks
Hi,
That can be easily done if you use a cloud library post template
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
Th review elements can then be dragged and dropped in the desired location within the template, in this case above the post content. Here are the available cloud post templates at the moment
– https://affiliate.tagdiv.com/#/load/Single
You can preview and even edit them to see how they are made. If you like one you can import it.
If you use the predefined post templates this can only be done with modifications to the post template files. For example if you use post template 2 you could move the review code above the post content
– https://www.screencast.com/t/wdxpyHOtqx
The post templates can be modified in a child theme as well, so the modification will not be lost after a theme update
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Thanks
Thanks, Simon. I was really hoping for the numbered style with ajax pagination. Is there no way to accomplish that? I feel like the numbered style is commonly expected (and easier to see than the small/light Next and Prev, for example), but reloading the whole page and jumping back to the top seems unhelpful. Can I maybe do a child theme and modify? Or is there another solution? The placement of the numbered pagination also seems to suggest it would just operate on the block. If it were operating on the page, it seems like it should be placed centered just above the footer?
Thanks again, Simon! I know everybody has details and features they want. LOL. This is a great theme!
Hi,
It would depend on what are the customizations you are planning to do. They may work properly or they may cause problems. If you want to modify theme files you could use a child theme, these are the files that can be modified in a child theme
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Note that if theme files are modified directly (in the main theme) these modifications will be lost after a theme update when the files will be replaced.
Also to take into account is that a modification that will work now, may not work in the future.
Thanks
Sorry for misunderstanding. Currently there are no issues with the child theme that we are aware of. If you want to use it and you find issues with it, please let us know so we can investigate and fix them.
@themesic feel free reuse my simplified version of plugin for add more features to Newspaper theme https://gist.github.com/reatlat/417fa9f3bb3928462c782a3fe8891b45
Some description, I create child class for td_class and override functions
in plugin you will fins a simple functions only for Newspaper theme.
@reatlat , I was talking about this answer: post-216029
I was called to manage a heavy customized version of Newspaper theme (unfortunately with no child theme), so Im in front of theme and td-social plugin’s warning for PHP 7.2 due to depracation of create_function, and at the same time, upgrading only the plugin is generating a notice in the frontend, calling me to update the whole theme.
Thanks Simion, but the question wasn’t a general one. Rather it’s directed specifically at the Newspaper theme.
I ask it since I did own the theme once before and recall there being an issue at the time as it pertained to the Child theme. Unfortunately, that account’s closed and I cannot find the old discussion we had.
Hello,
Thank you for your quick reply.
I have remove the code from page.php category.php loop-single.php and i make a dir into the child theme call parts under Newspaper-child and there i implement my code into footer.php and still the same issue tagdiv is not working have the same error.
I am using td_footer_template_14 as a default one.
Shall i implement my code there and remove the code from footer.php?
Please advice.
Hi,
Having a child theme is not required, in some cases it is useful however. It would be entirely up to you, what plans you have. Check some pros and cons
– https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/wordpress-child-theme-pros-cons/

Thanks
Old argument – and I am likely one of the biggest naysayers on child themes, personally, as it’s an additional redirect of the main CSS; further, over time, when there are ‘major’ theme updates/upgrades, the child theme has to be updated as well (kind of like pesky WooCommerce templates) — which entirely defeats their purpose beyond style over-rides.
It’s a general ‘norm’ to have child themes as part of WordPress, but ideally better to consider simply adding another css file that over-rides main theme css, and perhaps load that vs modifying sub-templates as child theme.
This is *only* my opinion, based on using WP since 2004, so I’m a bit biased based on how we used to have to tweak for speed/performance. Less of an issue now with http/2 and PHP 7.2, etc. But used to be minor speed bump to do child load on top of main load.
Hi, can you give me any hints as to why I might be better off using Newspaper without the Child Theme? I understand the benefits of using it, but just wanted to be aware of any reasons I’d be better off not using it in as far as your particular theme is concerned.
Thanks
hello, can you tell me if can use the classic wordpress shortcode example: do_shortcode (‘[rt_reading_time]’ when using a Cloud Template related to single “post” pages?
Currently I can use shortcodes, but only using the classic templates and modifying the relative loop-single-2.php in the child theme. Vice versa with the Single Post Template 7 I do not know where to intervene.
Thank you.
Hello,
This can happen if you altered the theme files and/or changed the theme name.
The best way to update is via ftp. Make a back-up of your install and simply delete your old theme and upload the new version. make sure to update your child theme as well because the child theme is not update proof. Test without any customization and without a child theme first.
Thank you!
Hi,
Please make sure you are installing the actual theme, not the whole package
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/whats-included/
So if you download the full theme package, once it is extracted the theme zip can be seen, like in this example
– https://www.screencast.com/t/v2MopzjgfRd
These are the theme install guides you can follow
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-wordpress/
If you previously used a child theme please deactivate it in case it is active. Newspaper has a child theme included in the package if you require one
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Thanks
