Hello @Nickolas Combatente,
I recommend you to use the Single Post Template from tagDiv Cloud Library and there you can edit the template with tagDiv Composer https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-cloud-library-templates/
Please check this topic where I explained each mobile version -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/mobile-version-not-working-properly-2/ and choose your mobile version.
Thank you!
Hello,
It depends; you can import only designs from a prebuilt website without posts. Please check this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezaaE2VP7V8 (03:22 – Switching between Different Prebuilt Website Designs)
If you like only some templates, you can import them from tagdiv Cloud Library -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-cloud-library-templates/
-> https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-default-templates/
-> https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloud-library-category-templates/
-> https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloud-library-templates/
Thank you!
Hello,
You have a pro prebuilt website so that you can make most of the changes in the front end with tagdiv Composer.
More documentation about the cloud templates is here:

Hi, I released my Page speed guide for the Newspaper theme back in 2017. This is the 2023 version for the same.
My Website: https://medicforyou.in
Current Stats:
1. Pagespeed Mobile
2. Pagespeed Desktop
3. GTMetrix
4. Pingdom
Resources used:
Plugins
1. Ad Inserter
2. Akismet
3. Contact Form 7
4. Converter for Media
5. Formidable Forms
6. Formidable Forms Pro (Paid)
7. Inline Related Posts
8. Jetpack
9. LuckyWP Table of Contents
10. RankMath (free version)
11. Regenerate Thumbnails
12. tagDIV Cloud Library
13. tagDIV Composer
14. tagDIV Mobile Theme
15. tagDIV Social Counter
16. Wordfence Security
17. WP Rocket
18. wpDiscuz
CDN– Only Cloudfare Free with tweaks and rules
Hosting– GoDaddy (sucks but will switch later)
Plugin Based Tweaks Worth Mentioning
1. Ad Inserter
Newspaper mobile does not provide extended in-article ads. This is why I switched to Ad-inserter to apply rules to mobile and desktop versions. Works like a charm.
4. Converter for Media
Free webP conversion recommended by Google. Lightweight and also converts your previously uploaded files to webP as well.
6. Formidable Forms Pro- Paid
I bought this to have a quiz and calculator. To be honest, I spent more than 30 hours but still could not learn the conditional tags and essential formatting. Regardless, this is broken on the mobile theme plugin and has a drastic speed impact on the page. Definitely not recommended.
8. Jetpack
I am still to figure out what is the role of Jetpack in SEO and speed. Anyways, I have kept it to not destroy my existing SEO.
11. Regenerate thumbnails
I would recommend regenerating all thumbnails at a time when your visitors are not active on the website. It has some memory usage and should be done in a free environment.
MOST IMPORTANT
I browsed through forums to find that TD Standard Pack is not an essential plugin if you know how to develop your theme properly using TD Composer.
I was already using pre-installed templates. So, I simply deactivated the plugin to check if any pages were broken. Since there were none, I deleted the plugin.
It has huge speed impact and I definitely recommend creating your own templates rather than relying on the easy way out. Additionally, I would recommend you start with a pre-built website, and start editing the following Cloud Templates:
14. tagDIV Mobile Theme
If you have to choose performance over quality, I’d recommend quickly installing this plugin. It is tempting to give your users a wonderful experience, but at what cost? Reduced speed only drops your visitors from search engines. Most of us are bloggers, meaning we rely on Google and Bing for our visitors (in long term). I’d recommend using it without caring for those beautiful blocks or glittering images.
16. Wordfence Security
If you are on a shared hosting like me and using Wordfence, I would suggest you enable performance tweaks.
17. WP Rocket
I used AutoOptimize and various other plugins to speedily my website. I did achieve results, but the “remove unused CSS” is beyond my scope. It requires hours of finding the CSS and deleting them. Even if you understand what I am saying, you are still bound to make mistakes.
I switched to WP Rocket a few months back. It cost me 59 USD for a year. What did I get? Here are tweaks that I was not able to achieve previously (the rest all can be achieved with free plugins):
18. WpDiscuz
The CSS files are annoying and I believe minifying CSS and loading
wpDiscuz> Settings> General Settings> Enable Use WordPress native AJAX functions and Minify JS and CSS Files to Optimize Page Loading Speed.
If you have not installed it yet, I highly recommend you don’t get lured by it. Stick to traditional Comments from WordPress itself. They won’t cost you any speed damage.
Cloudfare Optimizations
I would not go much into detail about this. But I will summarize what I have done:
1. Optimization Tab- Tick marked all options except AMP URL and Rocket Loader (only if you are using WP Rocket because it will break your search button and menu on mobile with a Newspaper theme).
2. Caching- Tickmarked all except Always Online and Development mode.
3. Rules- I have set two rules which make Cloudfare cache all contents on my website except my admin panel. You can set them using the following image, make sure you replace your website name with www or without www (and no HTTP or HTTPS) and in THE ORDER THEY ARE (ByPass at 1st, Cache everything at 2nd).
Image:
4. Scrape Shield- Tick marked all of the available features (3 in total).
Currently, my concerns revolve around the following:
I hope this guide helps you all. Please leave any feedback or queries. Best of luck fellas.
Hello,
Maybe some settings from jetpack interfere with tagDiv Cloud Library.
You can disable the option the Auto Loading on the Single Post Template edit with tagDiv Composer -> Show site wide settings => https://www.screencast.com/t/4RnV1CnxiuA -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/infinite-loading-single-posts/
Thank you!
Hello,
I recommend you to use a Single Post Template from tagdiv Cloud Library, and you can design it with tagdiv Composer.
To display the related articles or more from author, you can use Flex Block and filter it https://www.screencast.com/t/SEmxo13Fo2X -> https://i.imgur.com/YIg3nPP.png
if you want to keep those templates the only way to remove the “more from author” tab is to use a custom CSS like this one:
.single .td-related-right{
display: none;
}
Set the code in Theme Panel ->Custom code -> Custom CSS
I hope this helps you!
Thank you!

Hello,
I have Social counter installed on my homepage through TagDiv composer and also Social icons in the header with Cloud Library using TD composer. On my homepage Social counter/Social icons are using very weird font on Safari (looks kinda Japanese) and on Chrome there are only squares.
This problem occurs only on my homepage and I cannot find any setting that could possibly cause this. Can you please help me?
Also, how can I change the label in my sidebar that says “Followers” etc.? Thanks

Im trying to import a block (Pre-designed Templates) from “tagDiv Cloud Library”.
I´m already working on a page, but would like to import a new premade block in to the design -> Hero – NFT PRO by tagDiv.

What am I doing wrong?
In advance thank you for your help!
Hello, I was trying add sidebars to all of my categories but it does not let me unless i change the CATEGORY CLOUD LIBRARY TEMPLATE setting to theme template or no theme. My setting is currently on category template -week pro and inherit from global setting.
Hello,
Unfortunately, I do not exactly understand what you mean or your request. Please provide more details about your encountered problem, you can include screenshots.
A solution for sending a screenshot is this:
Download, capture, send: https://www.techsmith.com/jing-tool.html
Using our theme you can choose from 3 mobile versions
-> mobile responsive => https://www.screencast.com/t/oJ2ShOp47
-> mobile theme plugin => https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
-> mobile page => https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-10-3-7-update-brings-customizable-and-fast-mobile-pages/
Suppose you created the mobile pages with tagDiv Composer. In that case, when you install the Mobile Theme plugin, your pages will be overwritten by the plugin (the mobile theme comes with its templates for page, post, category, etc so your current templates from the desktop theme will get converted to the mobile theme layout, the page content is made without builders in mobile editor => https://www.screencast.com/t/xbgZG8kH also, the options that are provided to edit the mobile theme version are limited (this keeps the things simple)).
This is a video about Responsive Newspaper Theme, AMP & Mobile Theme, Mobile Pages & Templates -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpGkOnJeNZY
So, the mobile responsive is what you see then that you select the viewport on phone => https://www.screencast.com/t/matV17hH, so some settings may apply for each viewport(where is the border blue), and others are not(where the border is black).
The mobile page has the mobile templates from Cloud Library => https://www.screencast.com/t/YCcZ8rL8
Mobile responsive version of the theme and the mobile page editor can be edit with tagDiv Composer, the mobile theme plugin not.
For example, you can have the mobile theme plugin activate and use the mobile page/mobile responsive version for the homepage/pages, but for the categories pages/404 page you can’t use the mobile page/mobile responsive version if you have the mobile theme plugin activate.
So, if you want to design the pages with tagDiv Composer, you can use the mobile page or mobile responsive version.
Thank you!
Hello Hugo,
Please provide the link to your website.
Also, please make sure that you have the tagdiv plugins activated, like tagdiv Composer, tagdiv Cloud Library.
When you update the theme, please disable all extra plugins, and after doing the update.
In the worst cases, the settings in the theme panel may be lost (there have been isolated cases), in these cases, after the theme plugins that were previously used are activated, you will have to use a backup for the theme panel -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-export-theme-settings/
Thank you!
My filter bar on the Events Calendar now doesn’t work and the Events Calendar is saying the conflict is with tagDiv Cloud Library. Does anyone know how to fix this or contact support?
Hello,
If you use an Author Template, you can design as you want for the author with tagDiv Composer https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloud-library-templates/ or you can import a template https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Author
Thank you!
Hello @rickyrt,
To have the tagdiv Composer, you must import a Single Post Template for posts from the tagdiv Cloud Library.
Documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-cloud-library-templates/
Thak you!
You can edit post template in cloud library. If you want to add elements to the single post instead, this can only be achieved in post editor by adding blocks. There is no other way for individual posts.
Hello @ezioboy!
The single_template_7 that you are using is a default template and you can not edit it with the TagDiv Composer. If you’ll use a cloud template, then you can see the green button “Edit with the TagDiv Composer” when you access the article in your frontend.
The user reviews system is compatible only with cloud templates and not with the default ones.
We recommend to use cloud/PRO templates in order to have the possibility to edit them with the TagDiv Composer which contains a lot of functions and features, please check our tutorial here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
More documentation about the cloud templates is here:
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloud-library-templates/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-cloud-library-templates/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloud-library-category-templates/
Thank you!
Hello,
There are presents some templates; you can import the template that you want from tagdiv Cloud Library -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloud-library-category-templates/, and you can assign what template you want for a category from Theme Panel -> Categories https://imgur.com/gggYHLj
Thank you!
Hi,
Please activate the tagdiv Social Counter.
Also, please let me know what php version you have.
Make a test and deactivate ALL plugins except tagDiv ones, also if you are using a cache plugin, deactivate it, clear all cache and try again.
Examine some other potential interfering factors: https://forum.tagdiv.com/general-options-may-interfere-newspaper-theme/
If that problem is still there, then please execute these steps:
1. deactivate TagDiv Composer
2. uninstall (delete) TagDiv Composer
3. clear cache (if a cache plugin is present).
4. install TagDiv Composer & Cloud Library
5. activate TagDiv Composer
6. clear cache (if a cache plugin is present).
Access Newspaper -> Plugins and install the Standard Pack plugin if you use default templates.
I hope that helps you!
Thank you!
Hello,
Please note that we don’t recommend you use WP Bakery anymore since there can be conflicts between TagDiv Composer and WP Bakery; also WP Bakery can’t edit the tagDiv Composer templates. You can use the cloud library and directly import a homepage template if you want: https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/
All the Cloud library templates are fully editable using tagDiv Composer.
Also, on our channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOT1RiNysIPCTPSnVZskwtQ, you can find more videos that can help you and documentation https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-documentation/, and you can ask us here on the forum if you have any questions.
Thank you!
Hi jim,
I believe you are referring to the loop element, this is the one that has pagination.
Now, if you have an old demo that uses standard templates and not cloud templates, then it is possible to set the page template to “pagebuilder + latest articles + pagination” – https://i.imgur.com/NMggv5H.png for this you can change the layout from the bottom of page, there you need to select the posts loop settings – https://imgur.com/iXnQ0Ok – https://imgur.com/r5HAsm9
Now if is a pro demo, then it has set the posts loop element with tagDiv Composer – https://i.imgur.com/HmLjD18.jpg, therefore you’ll need to edit that page with tagDiv Composer and select the element to edit it – https://i.imgur.com/A3xnMuF.png
Now if the pagination doesn’t work (doesn’t bring new posts, or doesn’t switch to another channel) it’s most likely a plugin or extra code that interferes with the theme, in this case, my recommendation would be to do a test only with the plugins from the theme and see if the problem persists, if not, then you will have to activate the plugins 1 by 1 and check from which plugin the problem occurs.
Thank you!
Hello @Razvan!
You can upload a section or a homepage from the Cloud Library of any demo. You need to edit the page with the TagDiv Composer, in order to use flex blocks: https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/
It seems that you did not activate the Social Counter plugin, but you use it.
Thank you!
I was able to fix issue with custom theme name by adding MyCustomThemeName
static $theme_versions = array (
'Newspaper' => '8.7.5',
'Newsmag' => '4.4',
'MyCustomThemeName' => '8.7.5',
);
in file wp-content\plugins\td-cloud-library\tdb_version_check.php and the issue was gone.
