Hi
Please make sure updated the theme following our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ also deactivate the child theme if you’re using then test again.
You can also try to make a new wp-install on a sub-domain or on your local computer and check if the problem is still there.
Let us know how it goes and if you still can’t manage to solve this please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin and ftp access so we can have a closer look at this issue, also include a link to this topic.
Thanks!
Hello,
Unfortunately the ‘WP Booster’ folder will not work from the child theme. Any customization to the files inside this folder will need to be done inside the main theme and reapplied if you update the standard way. There is a change you can skip a few updates with the re implementation by using the update patch that is included in the theme archive. If the file you modify was not changed in the update you want to apply, then you can simply apply the patch and your file will not be modified. For this you will need to keep an eye out for the modified files included in the patch.
Hope this helps.
Thank you!

From searching prior comments, this looks like it might b a category template that got overwritten (yet I’m using a child theme)… but I can’t access my theme panel at all. Well its kind of there but missing menu and content.
Instead I have this in the menu panel:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/ctrlpp5/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/includes/wp_booster/wp-admin/panel/panel_core/td_panel_core.php on line 62
and this in the content panel:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/ctrlpp5/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/includes/wp_booster/wp-admin/panel/panel_core/td_panel_core.php on line 119
I have cleared the caches multiple times and deactivated all the plug-ins and cleared again, but its having no effect.
These errors, of course, are writing to the site pages too, as well as page specific errors.
hello! do i have to do this for every update? tried to put the file in the child theme but no changes.
Hi,
I’ve just set up the child theme for Newspaper version 6.7.1 but getting an issue where the default sidebar now appears in the footer.
This is despite the fact that I have yet to make any changes in the Child Theme…I have literally set it up as I normally would do with just a style.css to check it works and got this result. I then used the child files from the latest download on Theme Forest and get the same result.
Any ideas?
Hi,
Just something extra, you can follow this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Hope it helps.
Thank you!
Hi!
Do not feel like an idiot: you’re just asking what you don’t know:-)
As for the child theme, you just need to upload to your /wp-content/themes folder both themes, main theme and child theme (unzipped). Then, just activate child-theme (NOT main). Et voilà: you can use it as you would normally do.
To make it clear: upload and activate child-theme unzipped folder, as you would do with any other other theme but, in this case, you need to upload (but NOT activate) the main theme, too.
Regards
I feel like an idiot, but the Child theme didn’t automatically install on the other themes we use. I’ve read the documentation but still don’t understand how to load it and use it. Help!
I would like to display “Block 12” at the bottom of each single post page. I have a child theme and have customized the single post template. Is there a way to add Block 12 at the bottom of the post? Also, I would like it to only list posts within the category of the current post.
Thanks,
Rachel
Hi,
You cannot disable wp booster. People get this error when the update is not done properly or they have custom modifications made.
Please make a clean install of the new version by following this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Please restore all modifications you made to the theme, and switch to the main theme if you use a child theme.
You can also set your search template from the theme paenl. Simply change the settings here and hit the save button: http://screencast.com/t/hH65D9slczNW
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hi,
It seems some code is ‘breaking’ the theme so please make a few tests to see whare the error comes from:
1) Disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files to exclude a plugin conflict
2) Restore any custom modifications made to the theme code to their default values
3) If you use a child theme, please activate the main theme to see if the child is not the issue. (if you update the theme and you do not update the child theme as well, then this can happen. A child theme is not update proof)
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
1. I posted pseudo code, not actual php. You’ll have to Google for the correct syntax. Here’s a code snippet from TechRanker.net theme’s header.php:
<?php if( is_home() || is_front_page() ) echo '<h1>'; else echo '<h2>'; ?>
2. I don’t have the Newspaper theme files handy but here’s a suggestion. Find the files for the blocks you plan to use and search those files for <H3>, <H4>, etc. Then use something similar to the code above to perform your conditional logic.
If you can figure out how to add these changes to a child theme instead of editing the actual theme files, that would be preferred. Otherwise, you will have to reapply these changes every time the theme is updated.
3. On pages, posts, and other content pages, <H2> should only be used by YOU the content writer, not the theme.
On the home page, archive pages, and other non content pages, <H2> can be used by the theme itself.
Hello,
There is no option in the theme to remove the gradient, but it can be done with a css trick.
It can be removed with this custom css:
.td_block_big_grid_2.td-grid-style-1.td-hover-1 .td-module-thumb a:last-child:before{
display:none!important;
}

Thank you.
Hello danimian,
Please try the code below and place it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area.
The code is ->
.td_social_type :nth-child(2){
display:none!important;
}
The result -> http://screencast.com/t/UNT4JhJI
Thanks.
Hi,
We do not recommend the use of plugins for the child theme. Every version of the theme comes with a child theme that you can copy over to your server http://screencast.com/t/GK7BlE7a2yr. Please follow this guide to properly set it up: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Thank you!
Hi Bodgan,
Thank you for your response – greatly appreciated. 2 follow up questions:
1) if i have a guy that is good with excellent with php, do you think it is something that he can do custom, or is it seriously difficult?
2) if I do use brightcove the way that it is now, where do I adjust the video size settings? The video comes in smaller than the Vimeo videos that I am using. Is this a setting somewhere?
Thanks again for your time. The Theme is awesome, and literally nearly everything that I was building custom and running into several issues before I found Newspaper.
… sorry one more, slightly different topic
3) if I do a 301 Redirect to have a category land on a custom page, how do I get the child categories to remain unchanged? I’d like my main Category to go to a custom page, but keep the child categories as they are with the theme default. I did the Redirect in .htaccess, but then my child categories were also redirected for that url name… hope that makes sense.
Again, thank you for your time!
Hello
I tried to add child theme for Newspaper but it doesn’t properly load the parents css and js
Even tried with this plugin Child Theme Wizard, but still the same
Instead of the side bar i get 2 blue headers with
Slider HTML
Jquery-Slider script
The example child theme does the same
functions.php
<?php /*
This file is part of a child theme called Newspapper Child.
Functions in this file will be loaded before the parent theme’s functions.
For more information, please read https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes.*/
// this code loads the parent’s stylesheet (leave it in place unless you know what you’re doing)
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style(‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’);
wp_enqueue_style(‘child-style’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’, array($parent_style));
}
add_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘theme_enqueue_styles’);/* Add your own functions below this line.

and style.css

We’ve been using Newspaper 6.6 for several months without any problems. We’ve received notices of updates but I haven’t gone ahead with any of them yet. My question is, what will be changed if I update from 6.6 to the current version? We’ve made many configuration changes, such as colors, ads, posts, and such and don’t want to lose any of that. Can I update without messing up any of that? I’m also not using a child theme, does that matter?

Hello,
I have this URL: http://thelifesquare.com/beauty-style/skin-care/8572808/best-makeup-for-acne-prone-skin/
Which must be without child category, like this: http://thelifesquare.com/beauty-style/8572808/best-makeup-for-acne-prone-skin/
According to wordpress if we select both parent category and Child Category then only parent category should be displayed in URL of the article.
After activating Newspaper theme here is an issue with permalink. I can see same article with two different URL.
Check Screenshot: http://imgur.com/TX5IkrS
I have marked parent category as primary and as wordpress says I can see exactly same URL/Permalink in Edit mode i.e, permalink without subcategory.
Check here: http://imgur.com/fAsmhLd
Bigger Problem is I can see the old and that ugly URL with subcategory in Sitemap and in home page as well.
Since I can see URL with only parent category in Edit mode but with parent and subcategory in sitemap + homepage.
Please help.
Hello Catalin,
sorry, of course! Here are the details:
As you can see on the screenshot (http://www.screencast.com/t/Jkizehwl), the grid-layout is not perfect at the moment on spots where I do not use one grid-element for 100% width. I can nearly manage to manipulate using developer-tools on chrome, but only with having no padding right und padding-left: 15px (http://www.screencast.com/t/3TpwZj8QoWFJ). But what I want is constant padding of 15px around every grid-element (http://www.screencast.com/t/8RgTZa2a) and I am not able to manage it.
I would very much appreciate, if you could help me with that!
Thanks in advance!
Sebastian
P.S.: The snippet, you provided above worked very well. I just need to transfer it to child theme and thats it. Thanks for that!
Is it possible to move the breadcrumbs to the bottom of a post?
I’m using the child theme and template 7.
I moved the php code (<?php echo td_page_generator::get_single_breadcrumbs($td_mod_single->title); ?>) in loop-single-7.php but no joy.
Hi,
1) The method Alin posted works as expected. The code adds a condition to check for a certain category. He used ‘vogue’ but you can change it to your own category name. You can ad multiple conditions if you know a bit of PHP: http://php.net/manual/en/control-structures.if.php
I’m not sure how saving is not possible. You need a text editor (we recommend notepad ++) and access to ftp. Then simply edit the file, add the code and hit the save button. (Please note that if you use a child theme, it will not work as none of the files inside wp-booster will work from the child theme)
The names of the post templates are specified here:
If you cannot get it to work, please note that custom work falls beyond what support can offer you so you might want to consider hiring some help as we cannot offer customization services. We can only point you in the right direction.
2) Regarding the AccessPress Social Counter plugin, we have no clue of it’s functionality as it’s not tested so we cannot provide a solution for it.
3)We do not recommend upgrading to pro as all of the features visual composer has to offer were tested with our theme. If the pro version provides even more features, there is a chance they will not work as visual composer was adapted to work with our theme. That is why we provide it bundled with the theme and we provide the updates ourselves.
Thank you!
Hello Liefwin,
Please try the following code and place it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area.
The code is ->
.td-pulldown-filter-list li:first-child {
display:none;
}
The result you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/I4iA0Dnpo
Hope this helps!
Thanks.
Hello Sebastian,
If you want to make it permanently these settings, you should use the child theme. You have to use a bit of CSS code and place in Custom CSS area from the child theme.
The code is ->
h1 {
background-color:red!important;
color:white;
}
The result you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/STIZyZypE6Wg
Please notice that if you make these changes on the main theme, on each update, the code will be overwritten and you will lose the settings. For more information about child theme, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
Thanks, when i will have a little time i will try to create the child theme without plugin
