Hi,
I have two questions:
1. After installing the theme, I decided to migrate hosts. My host, cloudways, recommend their own migrator…but now my theme is not activated…how do I get around this?
2. (On the old host, verified version) When I go to Pages -> page -> edit with TD composer, it shows me a loading screen that seems to get stuck loading. What is the solution?
Hi,
Minification plugins can cause issue for all themes. Either by incompatibility or configuration. If that plugin is causing problems, it would be best not to use it. There are other ways of optimizing the website. You can search here on the forum for more information, there are many tutorials in this matter. Some examples

Hi,
I have inspected the website, I see no delay like you mention delay for the loading of the filter, or the whole website

Hello bwebb,
I have checked your website on Google Page Speed Insights and it seems to be very poor, as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/LyBHMbUM https://www.screencast.com/t/agLqdztuD It seems that your website is not optimized, sorry!
Please notice that the speed of your website depends on how well your site is optimized. Notice that is not a simple task and if you do not have any experience in this regard you will do not bring good results for the theme. Also, notice that we have a speed optimization tutorial but this is addressed only to advanced users. So, if you follow the steps which are presented in this tutorial here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ you can increase the page speed loading and if you are not aware of the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because the speed optimization services are not covered by our support policy, as you can read here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/support-policy-2/ Check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ regarding on dedicated server to fit to our requirements.

Been at this for too many hours now but does it sound like Cloudflare’s caching would’ve been the culprit?
Changed some settings over there and removed some remnant WP SuperCache code from htaccess and that error message has disappeared. Not sure which one or if both were the cause.
Thanks for trying to help.
Hi, yeah, I ended up deactivating a couple plugins that Kinda of helped the situation. In Firefox, Opera it’s speedy; plus, of all places, even faster on IE.
But on Chrome it’s intermittent and problematic. Have cleaned out the cache repeatedly on Cloudflare, Fastest Cache and in the browsers but very choppy in Chrome.
I don’t understand though the thinking: Main theme and child theme. Isn’t there a universal thought about the safety of using a child theme? Also, when I switch, I ended up without my settings. Nothing in footer, no menu, my sidebars screwy. I did try to import the theme settings from the child into the main theme but still didn’t catch. What then?
Tried it twice mind you. Clearing cache all over but nothing.

You have to configure headers correctly.
Tip: If you don’t wanna use CloudFlare expiry headers you can choose respect existing headers option from CloudFlare dashboard.
Note – the freezing happens on various sites to lesser degree I noticed the other night myself, even on my own website … only happened when I first turned it on — and I’m now thinking that maybe the iPad was doing some kind of background refresh like getting iCloud photos or something — but not sure on that.
On a simple page with 100/100 pagespeed score, two logos, one photo, and font awesome, I noticed the slight freeze going down page at a certain point. Odd. On my page all the above fold CSS loaded up front, and using native ipad fonts other than FA.
Not theme specific — I also noticed this issue on LA Times where the page just died, and went blank partway down.
Later on, both worked fine — so I suspect some background process on iPad, but I don’t have a fancy “activity monitor” installed, and have not turned on the developer mode on my new iPad (had that on for old one). Need to connect to my computer to activate that.
But it was temporary — then worked just fine. Very weird.
Just adding to the “bizarro world” topic … nothing to do with this theme specifically, as I notice the “twitchy” behavior on multiple sites the other night — all around the same time; but then no issues later on (and I have a smooth scroll jquery thing too, so yeah — super noticeable)…..
Might actually be an issue with jquery — hm.
Simion,
thank you very much for your feedback! The page actually displays correctly now. There must have been some caching issues, solved by purging it both in Cloudflare and in my hosting.
I still can’t save them panel changes in some devices, though. It’s very strange, and don’t understand why it works with some devices, and doesn’t with others. Any ideas on possible causes?
The biggest issue I encountered, though, is about posts. All the 810 posts in my site, created with VC and newspaper 7, have the sidebar overlapping content. The articles are full page and don’t leave space for the sidebar.
The only solution I found is modifying each post and changing columns from 1 single column to 2/3-1/3. But doing that for all posts is just crazy.
I saw that that’s a known issue. Are you working on any patch to make a bulk modification?
Thanks

Hello, I just installed and activated with a demo content import done. Site is all working fine but when I try to edit any pages the visual composer code is seen in the text editor but VC does not load at all. If I click on edit with TD composer, the page load icon keeps looping without any page loading.
I tried to change the memory limit with my cloud host on site ground to 512M. is there anything else I have to set right for this to work?
All theme required plugins are active. Please advice how to fix this. Thank you.

Hi travisnw,
I’ve checked W3 Total Cache together with CloudFlrare on my WP Site. It’s great speed booster! But I found some issues this with Newspaper theme.
1. Newspaper Mobile Plugin behave improperly.
2. Frame Buster plugins or code is also not functioning properly.
You can use WP Super Cache as suggested by Bogdan B. Also use jetpack. This way I can regain my speed on desktop devices. Still on mobile the speed is not up to the mark.
Thanks & Br,
Prashanth
Hi Simion,
Thanks for the help!
The plugin you mentioned in your first link I already tried, I mean before I commenting here. It may be working. But in my case I had some other issues. I sorted out the issue by the following method. May be useful for others
I did three things.
1) I did remove my Free CDN, CloudFlare, set up – I could not find any reduction in speed!
2) Uninstalled W3 Total Cache – Drastically decreased my site loading speed.
3) Installed WP Super Cache as suggested by TagDiv. Speed improved but not up to the previous score.
4) Installed Frame Buster plugin, which was part of socialwarfare plugin, now free.
5) That solved my issue 99%
Thanks all for the suggestion.
Prashanth
I have the same problem…
This happened after 8.1 update i guess…
Chrome console shows 2 JS’s
1- text.js
2- mode-less.js
couldnt be loaded…
Failed to load resource: (text.js) the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
Failed to load resource: (mode-less.js) the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
I have removed all plugins except TD Composer and reinstalled TD composer also , using cloudlfare i deleted cahce many times… Nothing changed this….
Website: http://sonsoz.com.tr (Showcased by Tagdiv)
Hope there is a solution?
Hello,
We do not recommend w3 total cache as it is not a tested and recommended plugin to use with our theme.
Pleas only use wp super cache and theses settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
And for cloudflare: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
Thank you!
Thanks, Bogdan. Have you heard of any major problems combining Cloudflare with Newspaper? I keep reading about combining it with the W3 Total Cache plugin. But I want to stick with the Super Cache plugin since that’s what Tagdiv recommends. Or do people let Cloudflare do the caching and then delete the W3 Total Cache plugin?

Hey guys / developers,
We’ve tested our blog with your theme on http and https, using Cloudflare and Wp Super cache and we’ve noticed that with https the performance of our blog (Google Pagespeed, Pingdom, GT Metrix) drops from A 99 % to B 70%. That’s a significant drop.
We saw in the results it has problems with some javascripts in your theme.
When we switched off some plugins, we got the same results.
Could you pls take a look at it and improve performance of your theme?
I’ve been running speed tests on pages of my website and am getting results that are all over the place. Do most people using Newspaper theme also have a CDN like Cloudflare? I can’t tell if I should be happy with the results I’m getting on speed tests, or if I really should add a CDN. I’m getting lots of A’s on the tests, but also some F’s… Also, I’m careful to optimize my photos for the Web using Photoshop and Optim, but I always get messages that they could be optimized more. Don’t know how… Someone told me today I should add a plugin for Gzip compression.
Here are some pages if anyone feels like running a test on them and giving me some much-appreciated advice!

I use cloudinary to host all my images. So when it comes to smart list, the following pattern was followed
<h3>Title<h3>
(img src=”link to image in cloudinary” )
<AD>
description
However with the above pattern, the newspaper theme could not identify the image. So the advertisement is coming above image instead of below image. The pattern being rendered is as following:
<h3>Title<h3>
<AD>
image + description
Kindly help me resolve this issue as I am looking forward to using the first pattern for all my articles.
