Hi
I’m using too a child theme
in that case you simply have to update the files in the directory newsmag on your server
using child theme is a good solution because you can update the theme’s files without affect the child theme files
hi
You have provide instructions for update via WP (quote below).
However, currently the active theme is Newsmag Child, so your instructions don’t make sense, as “newsmag theme” is not active anyway. Please provide instructions with active child for upgrade.
Step 1 – Deactivate the current “Newsmag” theme from the Appearance > Themes section by simply activating a different theme. Once you activate a different theme, delete the Newsmag theme. Don’t worry, your content will not be lost.
Step 2 – Get the “Newsmag.zip” file from your new Themeforest download (Installable WordPress file only). If you downloaded the “All Files & Documentation” from Themeforest, then you need to unzip the archive file you received, the Newsmag.zip will be inside it.
Step 3 – Go to Appearance > Themes, choose Add New Theme, Upload the “Newsmag.zip” and click on the “Install Now” button.
Step 4 – After your upload is finished, choose Activate the theme.
Step 5 – Update the plugins. The theme required and recommended plugins are included in the theme package inside the ../Newsmag-tf/plugins folder.
Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I still have the same problem. I cant save my blocks of the Visual Composer in Newspaper theme.
If I make a new page, it works for a few minutes. After those minutes im not able to save it anymore. De site just doesn’t react on my click.
Ive deleted all my plugins and I Cleared my cache. I also dont use any child themes.
Can you please look at the problem?
Thanks.
Hi,
Here is a simplified way of adding a ‘share by email’ icon. It works for us, but you must update one theme file after each theme update. (won’t work by adding in child theme)
This method simply calls on the default mail client to open on a desktop, and does not use WP to actually send the email, which we did not want anyway, to avoid any spamming.
File: ../themes/Newspaper/includes/modules/td_module_single.php
I added this line after ‘Pinterest’ link and before ‘Whatsapp’:
EDIT: PHP code was sanitized on this post, so here is the screenshot of it:
And here is the CSS:
/* SOCIAL SHARING - EMAIL ICON */
.td-social-email {
background-color: #00aeef;
margin-left: 10px;
padding-left: 11px;
}
.td-icon-mail::before {
content: '\e810'; /* or '\e820' */
font-size: 19px;
} Enjoy 🙂
Hi,
We have installed WPML plugin, and we use ES (main language), EN and IT as multi-language, and your theme seems to be uncompatible with this plugin.
The language menu is added to the last item of theme menu, displaying the current language. But it doesn’t displays language list (menu children).
I noticed that the language menu children are present in HTML code, but I believe that by some issue in theme javascript, these children aren’t displayed on parent menu hover (missing theme-required children-menu classes?).
Please, can you fix this and send me the fixed file(s)?
Your early reply will be highly appreciated, taking into account that our site is in production.
Best Regards”
Hello,
It is not a bug but most likely an external source causing this. it could be a plugin or the cache or any optimization tolls you might use that causes the issue. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache ande reset cdn files if you use it. Then test again without the other plugins. disabling and re-installing the plugins again will not do anything as you must test without them to see if the error comes from an active plugin. Also if you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme and test again.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hello,
Unfortunately this is the default implementation of WordPress. The child category and posts are all part of the primary category and all of the posts of a child category will show up in the main category. If you want to avoid this behavior, use separate categories, not child categories. Our theme does not change the default wordpress layout so you will have to change the way wordpress uses categories if you want to not show the post s of a child category in the main category page.
As an alternative, you can use a static page instead of the main category page using a 301 redirect and show the content that you want on that particular page.
Thank you!
Hello,
You have a js error affecting in your browser console. Please disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then test again. Also switch to the main theme if you use a child theme in order to rule out it’s interference. Please also disable any js optimization as well.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hello,
Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. If you use a child theme -please switch to the main theme and test the menu again.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks.
Hello,
The mega-menu was created to only show 5 sub-categories on the newsmag theme. You can increase this number from the theme code if you add your preferred child category number like so: http://screencast.com/t/q9vGCz2EGP2
It will require further customization for all your menu items to show in the mega-menu but you will have to hire a developer to make the proper adjustments if you do not have the proper skills to do so.
Thank you!
hello,
Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. The images seem to be not found but the url for the image does not provide a 404 message. Please disable any image optimization tool you might be using as well. If you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme to test if the problem originates from there.
Thank you!
Hi,
Unfortunately style.css is the one file that will always need replacing. Even in the child theme. There is no update proof solution for this. The easier solution would be not to use too many css rewrites. Meaning not to use any demo, and change colors from the theme panel without the re-write from the demo. You can also increase your page loading speed to minimize this effect, but changing style.css directly is the only way of having No cascade effect. This is the way css works.
Thank you!
Hello,
If you use a child theme, try to switch to the main theme as you may not have updated the child theme. (a child theme is not update proof. there is no update proof way of customizing the theme files)
If the problem is still there please contact us on our email address at contact@tagdiv.com and provide a link to your site and wp-admin (login information and admin rights) so we can login and investigate. Please also include a link to this conversation.
Thanks
I tried to change the style sheet css using Editor, but I got this error message underneath. I read somewhere that it’s better to create a child theme and edit the css there instead? Is there a tutorial to go about this?
413 Request Entity Too Large

Thanks Bogodan, I’ll give it a try. But prefer solutions that won’t get overwritten with theme updates so migth try to put this in a child theme.. that would be the right way?
I tried a re-install with FTP and disabling plugins – still not showing. Using a child theme here – may that has something to do with it?
If nothing else works, I will try deleteing the theme, and re-installing it (as oppose to just re-instaling over it).
Hello,
In order to change the name of the child theme you will have to edit 2 places:
First change the name in the child theme style.css: http://screencast.com/t/aS831GzMeM and then change the chilkd theme folder name.
Thank you!
Hi,
I would like to know if i can change my theme and theme-child folder names, like : example.com/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/ and example.com/wp-content/themes/Newspaper-child/ to example.com/wp-content/themes/NewName/ and example.com/wp-content/themes/NewName-child/.
Can i do this without having problems in the future (for updates)?
Thanks
Hello,
This looks like a caching issue related to the mobile theme. Please disable the mobile theme plugin and test again. We only recommend wp super cache and these settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/ and for cdn: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
Also please cotact your host and ask if there is any host related cache as that can influence the theme as well.
Plugins can also cause these issues so please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and rest cdn files if you use it.
If you use a child theme, switch to the main theme to test the posts again.
Thank you!
Hello,
The post view count is affected by cache so if you use a caching plugin you should enable this option: https://forum.tagdiv.com/ajax-view-count/
If that does not fix the issue, please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Also switch to the main theme if you use a child theme to rule out any customization or interference from there.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hello,

Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hello,
Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Also make sure you switch to the main theme if you use a child theme to rule out any custom code or old child theme files that were not updated.
Thank you!

Hello,
It seems your mega menu does not show up on the mobile theme, but you can simply create the menu that you want as the mobile theme uses a different menu than the normal one. You can create your own menu and add the mega-menu child categories as a simple drop-down menu without using sub-categories: http://screencast.com/t/xVKsg0w2lZS
If you still have trouble with the menus, please contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can login and investigate this issue.
Thank you!
Hello vachos,
Unfortunately, I guess that you have wrong understood the theme concept. Please notice that here is talking about sibling category and not child category and that’s why the theme will display only the siblings (sub-categories) and categories.
If you want to display more levels in our theme and if you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for the message!
Ok, my mistake. I probably had something wrong going on with my child theme files. Everything resolved, thanks!
