Thnx for list @epickenyan , i have been using WpFastestCache and AutoOptimize previously. But WpSuperCache is the most supported Cache plugin for Newspaper theme when using Cloudfare+CLoudfare’s Rocket script. I had to abandon the former ones because in the end, lots of plugin only adds to server load and hence a slower server response time.
Hello,
I’m experiencing some issues with the template. However, I think it depends from some configuration of my site and probably are caused by the same problem.
1) When I save an article, I can’t change article layout (eg. changing sidebar position, featured image position, etc.)
2) I can’t use the tagdiv composer (when I click on the tab, a second window will open, but it loads forever)
3) Under ‘appereance’, I can’t open, delete or modify widgets.
Can you please help me to solve these issues with my site?
I use cloudflare.
Thanks
Hi,
Indeed the website is not very fast, it takes a long time to be fully loaded. Also the counter is not working properly and there are errors on the website
– https://www.screencast.com/t/qNZaY37Qy
Make sure the theme requirements are met
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Ask your hosting provider to increase the allocated resources if needed, according to the guide.
Then try these suggestions. Deactivate all plugins except theme plugins, clear all caching. Remove custom code added in theme panel or theme files. Make sure you are configuring the counter like mentioned in this guide
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial-2/
Website speed optimization has to be made by you, installing the theme will not make the website blazing fast by default. It depends on many factors. There are guides provided by our users and us in order to achieve very good results. Please take a look

These are good.
I’d also ad…
>Analytify (analytics)
>Pretty Links (track link clicks and shorten links and more)
>Public post preview. (share a preview link of your post before it goes live.)
>Revive Old post. (keep old posts relevant on social media.)
>TinyMCE (better editor)
>UpDraft (free scheduled cloud backups}
I have since created a static home page so don’t need the preview post text question answered anymore but still need to know how to modify header and footer. Also my sidebar widgets went away (switched to a big grid for my home page) and was trying to recreate my sidebar again. Tried adding a column to right of big grid but didn’t see a tag cloud element I could add like I had on my homepage originally, so how do I do that as well?
Hi,
I got the following error while importing the default demo (WP_Debug is set to false already) –
“” tagDiv importer detected an error. The importer will try to recover and continue to install the demo after you click ok on this dialog.
Steps to troubleshoot:
– Check the permissions on your upload folder
– Please make sure that WP_DEBUG is set to false in wp-config.php
– Contact our support via email contact@tagdiv.com (please provide your product license key) “”
I press okay on the dialog and it eventually installs.
When I uninstall the demo again, I get this message –
“” Ajax error. Cannot connect to server, it may be due to a misconfiguration on the server.

Please help identifying what the issue is and what is the best way to fix it?
Hello MESHC,
Where is the problem? Sorry, but I did not see any problem with your website! Provide some useful screenshots so I can identify it. If the problem reappears, please remove all of the untested plugins, purge all CDN files if you are using the Cloudflare, clear all the caches and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
I’m having problems with your theme. I’ve been using it for more than one year in my site without any issues, but with the last update the site start to overload my server sometimes when I’m trying to edit or create a post (every 3 times of 5 more or less).
I thought that maybe was one of the plugins that I’ve using in the editor, like TinyMCE Advanced, but even deactivating all plugins, sometimes the editor still overload my server. I’ve also disable the minify on Cloudflare and W3 Total Cache, thinking that maybe there was a script failing, and it’s get a little bit better, but still overloading sometimes)
It is very annoying by the way. Can you help me to fix it? If you’ve already identified it and it’s going to be fixed on the next update, please tell me when do you expect to have it ready.
Thanks,
Regards.
Hi,
Then maybe it was a coincidence that the issue started after installing that plugin. Try deactivating all plugins leave only theme plugins active. Clear all caching installed. Deactivate any minification set, either by plugin or maybe Cloudflare. Temporarily remove custom code entered in Theme panel or theme files.
Check the theme panel parameters as well
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Ask your hosting provider to increase the allocated resources if needed.
There also seem to be some 522 errors present
– https://www.screencast.com/t/zJWjmrvmDS
More about that here
– https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200171906-Error-522-Connection-timed-out
Thanks
Hi,
Cloudflare rocket feature is known to cause issue with the theme, it is recommended to have it disabled if you use Cloudflare
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
Disable it and check the results. By default the smart sidebar feature works in theme, something is causing it to fail in this case. Try deactivating plugins, child theme, disable rocket loader, check custom code used in theme panel or theme files.
Thanks
Hello,
It didn’t work neither. Are we sure is ok with Cloudflare or cache?
If I make it work I would remove that adsense codes. No problem about that.
Thanks!
Hello,
For page speed please use these guides.
1) Only use wp super cache and these settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
2) Use cloudflare: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
3) Use the official page speed guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
as a note on speedbooster: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tinymce-advanced-and-other-various-disabling-speed-boster/
4) Please use this guide to increase your memory allocation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
I hope this helps.
Hi there,
I made a CSS customization on Template 2, but smart sidebar is not working if I try it on any post, for example, using Template 6 or 7 (which has no personal customization). Could it be a Cloudflare conflict because of javascript?
Hello HDT,
Make sure that you have correctly added your Custom Fonts, remove all of the untested plugins which can interact with the theme core files and causes a lot of unknown issues, clear all the caches, purge CDN files if you are using Cloudflare system.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hey Newspaper Family,
Just thought this might be useful to the ones starting a fresh new blog. I’m adding up plugins i’m currently using for my blog, feel free to add some to the list:
- Akismet Anti-Spam (to stop spam comments without adding them to your comment approval page)
- All In One WP Security (simple wp security for your website)
- Contact Form 7 (i have never used it, but yeah it might be handy)
- Envato Market (to keep your theme updated with Newspaper directly)
- External Links (super seo plugin, automatically prevents any external link from passing juice of your website to another for google ranking)
- GTmetrix for WordPress (checks page speed directly from plugin here)
- Heartbeat Control (ignore if you are not moderately good with tech. This one removes a lot of load from your cpanel of hosting)
- Inline Related Posts (adds beautiful in-line related posts automatically by extracting from tags and categories)
- Jetpack by WordPress.com (obvious)
- Mashshare Share Buttons (kinda good, especially has ability to add fake number of shares)
- OneSignal Push Notifications (a must get app! sends notification to mobile as well desktop users that you have published a post, just get this one)
- Regenerate Thumbnails (obvious)
- Remove Query Strings From Static Resources (speeding up website)
- SumoMe (for beginners, yeah this is super one, their tutorials explain everything)
- Table of Contents Plus (adds beautful TOC in your posts automatically using headings in a hierarchy)
- WP Smush (for image optimization)
- WP Super Cache (supports Cloudfare, one reason i preferred it over w3 total cache)
- WP-Optimize (cleans database and makes your hosting cleaner)
- Yoast SEO (obvious)
Apart from that, please do add free SSL certificate by Cloudfare, and setup free CDN by Cloudfare for your website. It boosts speed you will love to see.
Regards
Dr.Varun
Hello @michele-jolie , have you tried using Mobile Plugin provided with the theme? Indeed your page is blank on mobile phones. Apart from that, i assume you are already using
Apart from that, some basics you should try for your website:
1. Try installing a demo from theme panel, in your case, you should try Cooking demo- https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_recipes/ . Just have a look. You can find other demos here- https://demo.tagdiv.com/select_demo/select_demo_newspaper .
2. Go for Free CDN by Cloudfare, that will boost speed of your website a lot and is pretty good.
3. Add SSL Certificate to your website, it will show users that your website is safe and again, is pretty neat.
4. Explore post types in theme, they are pretty good and worth exploring.
5. Try reading how to set up homepage here- https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/ .
6. Basic plugins must get for WordPress- Akismet-anti spam, External Links, Jetpack, Regenerate thumbnails, WP Smush, Wp-Super Cache and Yoast ofcourse.
Good luck with blogging. You can check mine here- https://medicforyou.in . Feel free to ask for anything. 🙂
My site sits behind Cloudflare as well. The style sheet does *not* minify completely with their auto-minify option. Very early into the file, cloudflare detects some kind of error and stops minifying. Their tech support says that they stop once they detect any form of error and suggest running the file through a validator. I do not know what “level” of CSS to validate against for their minifier to work, but I haven’t found a validator setting that likes the style.css file.
You can see it failing at https://www.morebusiness.com/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/style.css?ver=8.6
The first screen or two are minified, then it reverts back to the original.
In any case, I have successfully used https://css.github.io/csso/csso.html to minify it. I have my child theme load the minified version directly rather than overwriting the original.
Hello Francisco,

Hi
I have problem on my website http://www.theillest.pl
When you go to a single post/article, scroll down and change list of related posts you gonna see only title without photos.
Where is the problem? Maybe with cache settings (yoast/cloudflare) ?
Thanks in advance for help
Yea, but when someone is looking at website on smaller window, logo is shifted.

Hello,
If the ads get delivered randomly, then the theme has nothing to do with it. The ad system renders the code. Maybe you have a caching issue that affects the ads. Please disable all caching for testing purposes and only use wp super cache and cloudflare afterwards.
https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
Thank you!
Hello,
Wp super cache is the tested and recommended plugin to usew with our theme. W3 total cache has gzip as a bonus and it is not actually “required” for a caching plugin. WP super cache works just fine without gzip but you need it to increase the page loading speed.
Please only use wp super cache and these settings:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/search/cache/
for cloudflare: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
As for the gzip compression and other optimization needed for proper page loading speed, please use this guide:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Thank you!
Hi,
In some cases the sliding issue was caused by the rocket loader feature of Cloudflare. This is recommended to be disabled, because it may affect the theme functionality
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
You could try disabling this in the Cloudflare settings and clear all caching after doing this. The issue should not be happening anymore. Clear all caching as well, including browser cache. This should possibly fix the socials being displayed incorrectly as well.
Thanks
