Hi,
i tried to use the booster plugin to defer load my js and css files – dont work. Not one file are moving from his place. I defined a custom wp-content directory as always in the config.php and im using a child theme. i also changed the name of the theme. Everthing works fine – but the plugin dont work. I followed the instruction of the booster plugin manual – no conflict with other plugin – i used it alone….
Then i removed the plugin, because i found following piece of code on stackoverflow to defer load the js files. Works fine:
if ( ! function_exists( 'add_defer_to_js' ) && ! is_admin() ) {
function add_defer_to_js( $url ) {
if ( FALSE === strpos( $url, '.js' ) ) {
// not our file
return $url;
}
// Must be a ', not "!
return "$url' defer='defer";
}
add_filter( 'clean_url', 'add_defer_to_js', 11, 1 );
}
NOW MY PROBLEM and my Hope you can help me out. The only parts of my site, wich does not display correct anymore is the homepage full block AND the (same) Single Post Template (DEFAULT SITE POST TEMPLATE Style 8). This is the shortcode to reproduce it on the mainpage:
[td_block_homepage_full_1 category_id=”” category_ids=”2558″ post_ids=”” tag_slug=”” autors_id=”” installed_post_types=”” sort=””]
I compared the source of my site with the defer code and without – no changes.
QUESTION:
ANY IDEA HOW TO FIX THIS? Nny help would be appreciated
Thank you so much
Hi, I’m working through the theme right now and i’ve created a few category pages that will be a “main parent category page” with sub categories as a part of it. What i’m looking to do is make the sub categories that are children to the main parent category page appear as some kind of a navigation so when users go to the main category page they will immediately have the children categories available to navigate too.
Unfortunately that particular file will not work from the child theme. All of the wp-booster folder does not work from the child theme. There is no alternative. If there were, there would have been a setting in the theme panel for it, but this is not the case so there are no alternatives. The code must be modified to get the results you want.
Thank you!
Hi,
With commenting out in child theme, nothing happened. It works when I comment out the file in the Theme Folder, but thats not so accurate because it might get overwritten after update! Any other chance? Thanks.
Hello ShibumiOz,
Before each update, we recommend doing a backup for more safety. If you are using a child theme and you have done the update, all the additional customization will be overwritten and you should try to restore all your customization.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi,
im using the td_block_4 on a page with ajax pagination. I copied the block an modul to my child theme and try to implement a fb, tw, g+, pin and a whats app share button, direct below the thumbnails of each post (SEE IMAGE BELOW). That means, the sharing buttons should pick up the thmubnail and/or the url from each listed post with ajax pagination and not the url and thumb from page where the td_block_4 is on.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi
Try this css in theme panel > custom code > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/fEQq3D4gcw3M
.td-grid-style-2 .td-module-thumb a:last-child:before{
background:none;
}
Let me know how it goes.
Tanks!
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_8.td-grid-style-1.td-hover-1 .td-module-thumb a:last-child:before{
display:none!important;
}
Thank you.
Thank you so much for that fix. It fixed the pagination for us.
Absolutely agree on maintaining the most updated versions. We have a child-theme set up but because a that didn’t give us enough scope to deliver the functionality that was required we’ve had to make changes to the theme core – which was always supposed to be ‘temporary’.
What would be ideal is if we can view the changelog for each version of the theme so that we can patch it safely rather than update the theme completely.
Is that possible if we maintain support payments to the theme every year?
Hello ArthurConan,
First of all, please try all of these settings in our main theme and check it how it works. Probably your child theme is broken and it is necessary to be uploaded to the latest version. Please try this in main theme and let us know how it goes.
Thank you for your understanding!
Chris,
Thank you for the info! I’ve disabled the PageFrog plugin and now my headache has been relieved. You are absolutely correct. The default plugin by WordPress/Automattic is much better! I like the fact that you can branch it off of your child theme, which makes using custom functions (which is exactly what I’m trying to do) foolproof. I’m just going to customize my own theme and see how things go from there.
As for your workload, more power to you. You guys do fantastic work around here so I’m sure whatever you’re cooking up will be great. Honestly, seeing that makes my issue seem a lot more manageable, haha.
I am still interested in working with you guys at some point in the future though (maybe later in the year when you’re free?) because I have a lot of custom work I want done to our theme. I’ll reach out at later time regarding that.
Good luck with the CMS rebuild and thanks for the help/info!

I’m developing a website using Newspaper 6 child theme (hosted on wpEngine): http://glacierjournal.wpengine.com/
I’m trying to set my global fonts (theme panel => theme fonts) and none of the changes I make are actually working. When I go to inspect element I can see that no custom font rule is even being generated. Furthermore, if I try to declare a font in the child-theme styles.css, I’m forced to use !important and even then it only affects some of the matched elements (e.g. some h3’s will change, but not all h3’s).
However, Google Fonts is working perfectly within revolution slider.
What am I missing?
Hi, I didnt made any back up because requires so much time. However I made the update and created another child theme. Everything looks ok for me. Can you take a look: http://www.storypickers.com
I really would appreciate it 🙂
Hi,
Do not delete your child theme before making a back-up or you will lose all your modifications. Like I said above, the child theme needs to be replaced only if the files you have in the child theme are on the list here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/updated-files-from-6-6-4-to-6-6-5/ If they are, then only those files(the ones on the list) need to be replaced in the child theme.
Thank you!
Hi
Try the solution indicated in this topic to fix the pagination issue for hompage: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/wordpress-4-4-1-pagination-new-fix/ but I cannot guarantee that will work as we didn’t test it with V 1.7 of the theme.
Also try to use this code in td_wp_booster_functions.php file: http://screencast.com/t/T1qCb2vBRX8
if(empty($query->is_feed)) {
if ( $paged > 1) {
$query->set( ‘offset’, intval($offset) + ( ( $paged – 1 ) * $limit ) );
} else {
$query->set( ‘offset’, intval($offset) );
}
}
This should fix the issue with the pagination on category page. If this does not work then the only solution is to update the theme at the current version available on themeforest, V2.3.5.
If you make any customizations in theme’s files it’s a good practice to keep track on them such that you can add them again after theme it’s updated. You can save your custom code in a text file on your computer then re-add it again in theme’s files but make sure it does not affect the new theme implementation. Also you can use the child theme provided with the theme to make some customizations, just make sure that the modified files can be overwritten in it. For more details about its usage with Newsmag theme check our documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-child-theme-support/ also WordPress’s documentation could help: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
Thanks!
Hello,
this type of issues usually occur due to plugin conflicts. Please disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then check your mobile menu again. If you use a child theme, please try to activate the main theme to see if the problem does not come from there.
Let us know.
Thank you!
I have tried everything, but it seems not working!
Please show some way.
I am using the main theme. No child theme.
I’d likely just use file found in the Newspaper all files download, upload that as a folder via FTP, then follow these directions
https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-method/
You don’t need to ‘create’ the base child theme, it’s included in the theme ‘all files’ downlaod.
Sorry if that didn’t help.
Hello. I just update newspaper theme from 6.4 to 6.5
Everything is almost ok but I can’t upload my new child theme. I created the necessary files and put them into a .zip file. After I upload them it tell me that:
– The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the index.php file.
This is not my first time I created a child theme, what I’m doing wrong?
All the best!
There is no child theme and the show featured image is clicked on.
That means that I have to delete newspaper theme, and child theme before the update. And after update I need to create a new child theme, and then to keep activated the child theme not newspaper theme?
Hello,
The files from your child theme will not be deleted. But if you make an update to your theme that means the main theme files will be replaced. This also means that the files you have modified got modified in our update, you will have to replace them inside of your child theme and remake the modifications. The child theme is not update proof. There is no such thing as a modification you can make and have constant updates without it affecting your modification. The code gets changed, so if you keep your modified file with the old code, your website will break. What you have to do is make a list of the files you modified in the child theme to keep track of them, then check the modified files between the theme updates: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/updated-files-from-6-6-4-to-6-6-5/
If you modified any of those files, you need to download the new file and modify it again and replace it with the one from your child theme.
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi,
IF can also try activate the main theme if you have a child theme active. On old and not updated child theme can also cause issues.
Another thing that might be causing this is this option: http://screencast.com/t/fMbIM3tPH3L
Please check if you have not disabled the images from the theme panel.
@Olak Your problem is very different. Your images cannot be found in the specified path, that is why you get the small icon . Please make sure you have the specific images in the original path. If not, please add your images again in the media library.
Thanks.
Hello Bogdan. Thank you for your first reply.
The only changes I made there are names/categories/pages and their new description. Will they delete?
So you mean, I have to download all files under the “childe theme” directory and after the update, I create another child theme, and upload my files I downloaded first?
Hello,
Do you have any modifications in your child theme? that is an important notice as if you do please check the modified files between versions and remake your modifications to the new files. (you will have to replace modified files in the child theme as well) It is recommended to recreate your child theme every few updates. There is one included with every update.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
