Hi,
I have the issue with Newspaper theme at godaddy hosting. For some reason after Newspaper Theme activation, WP-Admin area wont load. It actually breaks (looks like php die) at some point at “admin_head” hook (I created child theme to intercept the hooks, and all the hooks before “admin_head” have me some output).
The system is set as described at https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ and still nothing. I tried to change php version. Actually I tested it with php 5.4, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1 and still the same issue every time.
It all work just fine on my local WAMP server, but on godaddy hosting, it simple doesn’t work.
If it is any help, the output that I get have 83 lines, and the last lines are these:
<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://www.eurocommits.com/wp-admin/js/color-picker.min.js?ver=4.9.4′></script>
<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://www.eurocommits.com/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/js/td_wp_admin.min.js?ver=8.7.1′></script>
<script>
After that script opening tag, nothing…
Please help, or recommend a hosting where it works. Thank you!
Hi,
You could insert the code directly in the theme files, below the socials
– https://www.screencast.com/t/p05AVGpaJpUd
– https://www.screencast.com/t/wfPNoOOWnGH
Result – https://www.screencast.com/t/54ePjSQgSa9q
That file can also be modified through a child theme so you will not have to do this again after a theme update
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
This would be a solution, give it a try.
Thank you!
Hello,
Unfortunately the change needed for this customization will not work from the child theme as it is js loaded. It is not a simple link change you can make. There is no simple solution as the login modal is a very complex element.
Thank you!
Hi,
If you re-installed the theme then that word is not origination from the actual theme files. Either code in theme panel, child theme or maybe a plugin. Check if that is the case.
If you cannot identify it’s source we could take a look. Send us admin login at contact@tagdiv.com and also include a link to this topic in the email.
Thanks
Hi,
Now that is unusual, so the blocks and other elements filtering and sorting are resetting. And that is happening only on the homepage. I would suggest to deactivate all plugins except theme plugins and clear all the caching installed.
If you made modifications to the theme files remove them temporarily. If you use a child theme and made modification to theme files, deactivate it temporarily.
If there is still a problem, provide more details about what exactly are you doing and what is happening. Provide a link to your website as well.
Thanks
Hello Marvar,
In order to achieve the best results after you will install the latest update you have to follow some rigorous steps like this -> you have to delete both of your themes, child theme, and main theme. All your customizations from your Newsmag 1.7 theme will do not work because all the files from this were changed in Newsmag 4.2 and as the main theme and also you lose all changes.
The Newsmag 4.2 is a whole new theme so an update from 1.7 to 4.2 may cause the same issues as switching to another theme (but we did try to maintain compatibility where ever possible).
Always make a full backup of your current installation – https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups and then do a clean update, meaning that we recommend that you delete the old version of the theme before uploading the new one – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ update also the plugins that come bundled with the theme files from the /plugins folder.
The shortcodes have been changed so old ones will not work anymore. Please note that old files customization or custom CSS will not work with the new version and you will have to adjust or re-add them.
Bottom line is that Newsmag 4.2 is a whole new theme built from scratch.
Unfortunately, you will have to clear your agenda and spare a bit of time to adjust all your settings to the new version of the theme.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
I want to make the changes to the child theme, when it was not working I tried it on the main newspaper theme. What code would I have to use?
Hello, I have already made my first update of the theme, following its steps and without problems. But I have a new question. I have downloaded the ALL FILES package from codecanyon.net. and I would like to know what they are for and if they are necessary 3 folders that I do not know what function they have?
1- folder code / Newspaper-child
2-patch_8.7_8.7.1
3-psd / psd_logo
4-td-multi-purpose.zip
What are these folders for? including? They are necessary?
Excuse my ignorance.
Thank you
Hi,
a new customer has a website based on Newsmag 1.7, but the former webdesigner did not create a child theme. Instead he changed a lot of files in the original theme folder. Now I wanted to upgrade to recent version of Newsmag and bought it on Themeforest, but first I have to find out, WHICH files of the original theme were changed.
Is it possible to get an original Newsmag 1.7 (just the theme folder, without extras) for reference?
I want to compare it file by file with the theme my customer uses, so that I am able to build a child theme for the new version, reflecting those changes (to avoid those problems in the future). Or how would you solve this issue?
Hello,
This could be a plugin conflict so please disable all plugins except the page builder, 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 functionality of the theme.
Thank you!
Hi,
Do not change the theme name or create a child theme with a different name. That will cause issues. Use the default child theme as provided in the theme package and there will be no problem
– https://www.screencast.com/t/h1gXLiyV2
These are the files that can be customized through the child theme
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
So if you want to modify some of them, create the child theme and use it according to the tutorial.
Thanks
Hello,
thank you for your help.
I would like to insert more promotional images (no Google AdSense) in that space, that then they should be replaced periodically. These substitutions will be made by a user editor who doesn’t know the html, so I would like to prepare a slide show that he can easily manage.
If you explain to me how to insert a slide show in that space, I am also willing to modify the files of my child theme. Thank you.
Best regards
Hello,
This is a standard js error where the js functionality breaks. It is in most cases related to plugin conflicts or custom code added to the theme files or the child theme.
Please disable all plugins except the page builder, 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 functionality of the theme.
Thank you!
Hi,
Glad it worked. The post template files can be customized through a child theme, this way you can modify them safely. This is a child theme tutorial

Maybe you removed it previously with custom code or modification in the child theme. Check the mobile theme custom code section, check the mobile theme files

If I wanted to do a child theme, or customize the name of the theme on the main css file… Would I lose all of the work I’ve done in customizing and setting up the theme?
Hi, guys!
I’m using the Newspaper 8.1 right now, and I want to update to the 8.7.1.
But all the methods in this link (https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/) will remove my modifications, right?
I don’t want to set everything again.
How can I update without losing my modifications?
I thought I could use a child theme. Can I do that? If so, how can I install my child theme now, using my modifications? After that, I could install the main theme, deleting the old one and not losing every change I made.
Or some other better idea?
Hope you can help me.
Thanks

Hi,
Those are the first steps in investigating the cause. If we would always know the cause for each error that exists, we would happily provide the exact solution.
Note that the theme does not provide any errors by itself in any of our tests. Usually this is caused by plugins, theme modifications directly or through child themes, custom code etc. It is very important to check these before anything else.
If you tried these suggestions and deactivated all plugins (including optimization plugins) except theme plugins, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login information. We will take a look.
Also include a link to this topic in the email.

Hi,
There already is a related articles section displayed in the post page when using the mobile theme plugin
– https://www.screencast.com/t/bd6hg2DjW
The settings from theme panel will apply to this section on mobile as well
– https://www.screencast.com/t/XHIrAmk24
Indeed the mobile theme files cannot be customized in a child theme, at the moment. If you want to customize files from it, you will have to modify the main files.
Thanks
I even reuploaded just the wp_booster folder; still getting an error.
I am using a Child Theme.

Hi,
Please update the tagDiv composer as well, if you did not already. Also if you by any change changed the theme name or you are using a child theme with a custom name, change them to default. Then check the results.
Thanks
