thank you
Hi,
Thanks Christopher!
@nightwing2303
First of all I apologize about the delay on which I’m answering. We are sorry to find the you have problems with this and before you give up on this I want to clarify this as I think I know what is happening.
So, first please make sure you are uploading the right .zip file because the .zip file you get is this: http://screencast.com/t/Q0SZ8ZUcTd which contains all theme files like ../plugins/a patch which you use to update from the previous version/ documentation/ licensing/ child theme... so this is not the right theme file you need to upload, this one is: http://screencast.com/t/OiXSsFHEj0
This error The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini. which you’ve got when trying to upload the theme’s .zip file showed up as the default maximum upload file size is set to 10MB in your php.ini file and the whole .zip newspaper-ft.zip file has over 13MB. You can increase that value also if you like, as well as you did for the other one: http://screencast.com/t/ZEunYQKA
So please make sure you unzip the Newspaper-ft.zip file and upload the Newspaper.zip file and upload the theme again.
If you still aren’t satisfied about this we can offer you a refund. You will have to send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and specify that you address your message for a refund and also include a link to this topic.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message and sorry for the inconvenience!
Hi,
Unfortunately that is not an easy task because that alignment comes from theme’s grid which has an exact layout and you will need custom work to change that.
This involves changes the html and style of that block and make it responsive then test it, like I said, it’s not an easy task.
I can give you an example on how you would have to target the columns using css as a staring point but I haven’t tested this and I can’t let you know how it would behave: http://screencast.com/t/MbtoiNs9
.td_block1 .row-fluid [class*="span6"]:first-child {
float: right;
}
.td_block1 .row-fluid [class*="span6"]:nth-child(2) {
margin-left: auto;
}Unfortunately we cannot offer custom work as we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support. We suggest to hire a developer from sites like: http://studio.envato.com/ if you don’t know how to do it yourself.
Sorry about this!
Thanks for understanding!
Hello,
Thanks for the continued updates, improvements, fixes and superior support. Since the latest update I have received the following message in my WP Dashboard:
— Please activate the theme! — Click here to enter your code – if this is an error please contact us at activate@tagdiv.com – How to activate the theme
I am using the Child Theme, but is there a necessity to reactive the main theme, even though I am using the Child Theme? I don’t want to lose my modifications.
If not, this message is an error that shows in red at the top of all my admin and you may include a fix for this in your next release.
I just need to know if I should ignore this message or if there is some sort of activation I need to do. Like I said before, I am using the Child Theme.
Thanks.
Philip
Thank you!
Finally i did it:)
It was all because of child theme, i added this code to the main theme and it started to work
Hi,
Unfortunately not all the files can be modified via child theme, you will need to make this changes to the main theme, you can check which files can be modified via child theme here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/child-theme-documentation/
Thanks
Lucian
All this should not be done in the child theme??
I tried to delete all plugins and theme, and reinstall it (the main and the child). I only installed and activated now the Social Counter plugin, but in Facebook and Twitter continues appearing the part that told: if is 15.290, appears 15; if is 7560 appears 7…
If I try with your examples, “McDonalds”, appears in FB counter 44 Fans and on the Twitter appears 2 Followers.
This is important fix for me because I need that function working well.

Hi,
Usually when using child theme the css added in the child theme css style sheet should work fine but note that using the child theme could cause other issues so in case you have some problem you should check if the child theme isn’t the cause of it.
You can use the speed booster plugin to move files to the bottom, this is speed related so you can follow this guides for this:
* https://forum.tagdiv.com/pagespeed-guide/
* https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/can-i-add-plugins-css-to-footer/#post-6348

Hope this helps!
Thanks
Via CSS’s :nth-child(#) selector. Enter this in the theme panel’s custom CSS section:
.sf-menu li:nth-child(2) a {
color: #000;
}Change #000 to the hex you want. I checked it on your site and it should work. If it doesn’t work, add an !important tag.
If you want to use the dark selector, add this too:
.sf-menu li:nth-child(2) a .sf-sub-indicator {
background-image: url('/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/images/sprite/elements.png');
}
Basically what I’ve done for my site is
(not using child themes as they add CSS redirects bad for SEO/speed)
a) search/replace all instances of fonts I don’t want to load from Google in my style.css file; using common font stacks for fallback such as 'Open Sans',Arial,sans-serif
(if you don’t know what font stacks are, see: http://cssfontstack.com/
b) set all my fonts in theme panel to ‘default’ so there is no code if/then trying to insert any custom fonts into header/footer/speedbooster
c) commented out the code in functions.php which loads google fonts on the page; and also removed the section of code which has the various links to theme fonts on google I won’t be using; no need to have if/then code asking to load fonts from google if I’m never going to do that via theme code (as per examples in my prior posts in this thread); need to both or you will get error. Same code in 4.22, 4.3 and 4.4 versions of theme.
d) I grabbed the link from google fonts website for the font I wish to use (as per my example above in this thread), then pulled the actual css from that link so I won’t be loading the links to the fonts from their CSS file (one less CSS file loaded on page); placed this at bottom of my own style.css file after the minified code, so that it lives in its own section after theme styles.
All of this was done with caching off, mod_pagespeed off, so that changes are picked up immediately. When editing my files I use either TextPad on the PC, or BBEdit on the Mac, to ensure my files have Linux/Unix line breaks since I’m using Linux web server. Some PC editors will put “Windows line breaks” in files, which are bad for Linux servers, in some cases, and can cause parsing errors. So, helps to know what you’re doing if editing core files for a web server.
PURPOSE OF ALL OF THIS:
1) speed up website
2) remove intermediate call to CSS style sheet on google, which may not have proper expiration headers/TTL, and may show “advisory” from testing GTMetrix,PageSpeed Insights, etc. – may help “rating” by removing one so-called issue caused by Google’s own system.
You do *NOT* need to do this, unless you have ALL OTHER optimizations in place. Many sites load their fonts from Google using their function call as it’s essentially loading from a CDN. However, “hacking” the theme for this purpose can help advanced users resolve those last couple of ratings issues, and also those obsessed with micro-optimizations.
WARNING
this hack must be done EVERY time you update the theme; so if not willing to do that, best to skip this whole subject and get on with creating great content which is better for SEO and SERPS than saving a couple of milliseconds on font loading.
Ok, thank you!
I’m using child theme now, so the update won’t be a problem for my style.css i hope
What about stuff like this in the beginning of my source:
link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’google-font
thare are some google fonts, can i move it to the bottom somehow?
Greetings and thanks again for a GREAT theme!
I’m having trouble getting rid of the form gray background color that contains the Contact Form 7 form. I’ve created modified CSS, placed it in the Theme Panel CSS Custom CSS area, but somehow the modified CSS keeps getting overwritten by the original CSS (see screen shot – http://screencast.com/t/YJPjfeBlZ)
NOTE: I’m using a Child Theme of Newspaper, not the actual theme itself.
Please help me identify how to change the background that current is being controlled by the .forms-actions CSS. Thanks in advance!
We have run in to a few issues with the Newspaper theme, I don’t know if it is our fault or if they are bugs.
1. The arrows on the big slide and blocks do not work, even through there are more articles than can be viewed. Also the child categories on the blocks take you to the category page rather than just bringing up content from those categories, like your demo site does.
2. The main nav bar does not stick to the top of the page, even though I set that options in the Theme Panel.
3. Our Facebook fans count does not show up on our site, but it does link to our Facebook page.
Our website is http://www.kstatecollegian.com, hopefully we can get this resolved ASAP. Thank you.
Finally it works now, thank you! I put this tag to the main theme, not child one, and now it is in my source
Could you tell me how can i edit some links in my footer, i’m using widget widget_pages and i’d like to add rel=”nofollow” for some of them. In which file i can do it?
Hi Lucian,
Thanks for getting back to me.
Yep I want to do it through CSS so it effects the
element. I’m having trouble though. Surely…
blockquote { text-align: left; }
…should work (when inserted in the child theme’s stye.css), but it doesn’t. Any thoughts?
Cheers.
First, thank you very much for a very powerful and nice theme! I am happy I have it.
Sorry for the really dumb question:
I do not see any sidebars in my view of the Widgets (see attached screen shot). I am using a Child theme of the Newspaper theme, is that perhaps the problem? I tried creating a new sidebar called ‘Main Sidebar’ in one of my categories, but I am still not seeing any sidebars in the Widgets area. What am I doing wrong?
Hi, i have purchased the theme, i had an Indian developer make some changes and install some addons from envato. The layout i did not like but i have the child theme with the changes. I need someone to install the theme to my server and work on a long term basis customising the template as needed. Please contact me for details at km@ad-ex.gr
Thank you in advance
Thanks Lucian. I do understand it. Just curious about it. If i have some useful information i would love to share it.
One Last Question. How can i copy a template and rename it for Custom Post Type. Like if i made a CPT Phones and assigned no template to it. It’s fetching the single.php builtin themes template. How can i copy single.php or loop-single.php….So that we can place that exact template in the child theme and made little modifications. and rename that to single-phones.php
Is it possible? And further, i know its out of topic. Just a general question.
Thanks a lot for your wonderful and timely support.
Regards
It seems to me that this bug theme. I worked it out by modifying the template file in the template child.
Topic to close!
Hi,
Have you tried adding the blockquotes using this shortcodes: http://screencast.com/t/AnwvWMYYLXG I’m not sure how you would want the blockquotes to appear.
You could use css to align the left the text and if you use child theme and don’t want to use custom css field from theme panel you can edit the style.css file and add it there.
Thanks
Hello,
How can I make the text on blockquotes align to the left, rather than centre please?
I am using a Newspaper as a child theme, and would rather not use the ‘Custom CSS’ option in the Theme Panel (which I haven’t been able to get working with this anyway!) as that renders the CSS after the page load.
Many thanks.

Hi,
This happens because the custom ad boxes you have added aren’t styled. As we don’t provide the theme with this extra custom ad boxes we also don’t add a style for them.
What you can do is to add the css in your custom css filed in theme panel after each theme updated or you can add this style in your style.css file or you can use this child theme
Either way you chose to do this you will have to add again the css for new custom ad boxes after each update except if you use the child theme but note that using the child theme you can’t change all files using it, I’m not sure that the files td_ad_box.php and panel_ads.php can also be modified using it, my advice is to make a copy of all the changes/files you have made/modified and make this changes after each update on you main theme.
Hope this helps!
Thanks
I posted how to do this recently, but don’t have the link, unfortunately. Perhaps do a quick forum search.
Remember, too, to search/replace the calls to Google fonts in the style.css file, too. And ensure you turn off your cache if using one, prior to making changes.
Also note some folks have trouble doing this when using child theme, if the child them css calls the fonts or a fuctions over ride file calls them.
I think you need to remove the whole section in 4.2x in functions.php which if I recall was lines 41 to 84 … you’re basically removing that “function” ….
