Hi,
I use qTranslate X. Never tried WPMU but I read about it when I faced the same question as you. You said “either WPMU or creating a multi site” but if I recall correctly, WPMU works as a multi site management system. WPMU physically creates X entries per content (1 per language) while plugins like qtrans create only one with all languages inside [sorry this is wildly phrased]. Multi site is supposedly good for performance because having the content separated makes it easier to serve it, while qtransx has to slice the content and extract the desired language upon request. Cache can fix this. Multi site is supposedly worse regarding compatibility and content consistency. It depends on the kind of use your site gets, and whether your content will greatly vary across languages or will be just straight forward translation.
I started with qTranslate and then moved on to mqTranslate, which was deprecated in favor of qTranslate X some time after. It’s not perfect but it’s the only alternative to the multi site option of WPMU, I believe, and it works very well, for a free plugin at least. The plugin is actively being supported and developed which is nice. The only thing missing is native multi slug support (same post has different URLs, one per language) but there’s a plugin for that and they say they will incorporate it in the future.
qTransX can give you a bit of work if you use some “non-mainstream” plugins as these sometimes do not take multi language support into consideration. Many mainstream plugins work flawlessly and others have plugins to extend qtransx compatibility. For instance, I use these ones:
WPBakery Visual Composer & qTranslate-X
WordPress SEO & qTranslate-X
WooCommerce & qTranslate-X
qTranslate slug (for the language based URLs)
Some configurations can have a performance impact in cheap servers, but with a well configured cache it’s actually pretty solid. I run a shitty shared server (for the time being) with ease but I do not use features like browser-language detection and redirection, I use the simple “language in the url” option (example.com/en/ example.com/pt/ etc).
In the end I think it comes down to the degree of support needed. “Hands on” kind of persons might be better off with qTransX, otherwise it might be good to check out WPMU forums and documentation to see if they offer the support it usually comes with premium stuff.
Cheers!
Hi
Check the console to see if there are some errors, also deactivate the plugins except Visual Composer, purge the cdn file if you’re using, and test the site again. If the problem persist please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com with login details so we can inspect this issue, and a link to this topic so we know who you are.
Thanks!
Hi
You need to add an extra class name to this section http://screencast.com/t/iMaJGwwGasJ in Visual Composer http://screencast.com/t/ZgUUy9q38X and after that use css to change the background color as you want. Example:
.spacial-class{
background-color: red;
}
Thanks!
Hi
The Visual Composer plugin it’s tested with the theme and should work fine, so you can try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear the cache, purge the cdn file if you’re using and test again. Also make sure you installed the plugin properly as it’s indicated in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
If the problem persist please let us know what theme version you use or make sure you use the latest version (2.0) and VC 4.5.3
Thanks!
Hi,
In version 6 the logo can be used at 272Ć90 size like you already know, unfortunately it was designed like this and you can change it using custom css. You can upload your the size that you use in the footer and check it with this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css – http://screencast.com/t/exoB9n4gwr3 – http://screencast.com/t/jv6fQi15iDN
.td-header-style-1 .td-header-sp-logo img {
max-height: none !important;
}
.td-header-style-1 .td-header-sp-logo {
height: 115px;
max-height: none !important;
}
@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1019px) {
.td-header-style-1 .td-header-sp-logo {
height: 100px;
}
}
Regarding second issue I could not recreate this so please provide a link where you use this bloc so we can take look and inspect this. Also test it without any plugins active, leave only Visual Composer active, clear cache and see if the issue is still there.
Thanks!
alt tags – I’ve tested the alt tags and they seem to work. Please let me know where did you encounter missing alt tags and I will fix them. Anyway I will do an audit for this in the following days.
h1 – there are a lot of big news sites that do not have h1 on the homepage.. http://www.theverge.com/ http://techcrunch.com/ http://readwrite.com/ and many more…. I believe this is a strong argument that H1 H2 on homepage is a personal preference not a requirement. Big sites like them have dedicated staff that monitor and analyze this stuff. I’m sure a company like VOX media with over 400 employees (the owners of theverge) would not penalize their site by forgetting to put a h1.
h2 on archives… again the same result. A lot of the big sites do not use such a thing.
the TagDiv page title issue – was a huge mistake on our part and I’ve missed it. Usually I do the final code reviews and I did not notice this one š
@Johnny you can add h1 and h2 on the homepage via visual composer.
@kecodoc please contact us via email: contact@tagdiv.com
Hi,
Please provide more details about these errors, any details that can help us recreate it and also make sure that you use the latest version of the theme 6.3 I also recommend you test this without using any plugins, leave just the Visual Composer active, empty all caches and check again, as this might be caused by a plugin.
Let us know how it goes and also provide your site’s url.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please check this without any plugins active except of Visual Composer, clear cache and purge your files if you use CDN. Also re-save your permalinks and see if you still have this issue. I also checked this using latest version of the theme and did not found any issues and when you click on author it link to author page.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please make sure that you use the latest version of Visual Composer, install and activate it from here ā http://screencast.com/t/sICGwGTQXQTh and check the version ā http://screencast.com/t/pSDK3ooFurWV And select all elements from Visual Composer settings – http://screencast.com/t/ZMdnw3n1V5HO
Thanks!
Hi,
Please make sure that you use the latest version of Visual Composer, install and activate it from here ā http://screencast.com/t/sICGwGTQXQTh and check the version ā http://screencast.com/t/pSDK3ooFurWV If you need to update the Visual Composer plugin, please delete the old plugin and update the latest version. Also remove the Child theme for version 4 and upload the version provided with the theme files, you can find it in /code folder. Please note that this is an upgrade, Newspaper 6 should be regarded like a new theme and custom modifications, custom css from version 4 will not work anymore and you will have customize it again, but were added many features in this version(blocks, modules, sticky sidebar..) so I guess that it worth the update. Let me know how it goes!
Thanks!
First i purchased News Theme but keep getting to support forum of Newspaper theme.
anyways, I was trying to install demo site but when importing XML i get error – “Failed to import Media ā*file name*ā, also have troubles with menu.
then i noticed you support up to WordPress 4.1, but i installed 4.2 most resent version, is there will be update?.
also i own Newsmag theme and was under impression this will be similar theme coz it comes from tagDiv, with Theme Panel and Visual Composer, but unfortunately this is bit stripped version of some other themes you have for sale.
my site – baltalife.org
Hi,
Please deactivate all your plugins, leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and purge you files if you use CDN then check if you still have this issue. You have some js errors in the console that can affect functionality for log in/register widget – http://screencast.com/t/LzAsHWZ7xK Also please disable any css/js minifications.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please disable all you plugins, leave only Visual Composer active, also clear cache and check again if you still have this issue. Do you have this problem also when you save the settings? Also verify the console for errors while you try to open the custom ads.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please disable all plugins except of Visual Composer, clear cache and purge your files if you use CDN and check if you still have this issue. Also disable any js/css minifications. I did not found any issues with this using latest version of the theme with plugins that come with the theme’s files, also you can check our demo.
Thanks!
Update:
I think it is an issue with my Visual Composer as I am unable to add any blocks or edit the columns. The same happens, an empty box opens up that sticks to the bottom of my screen and only has close and save changes buttons.
Thanks for your time and help,
Rich
Hi! After upgrading from Newspaper 4 to Newspare 6 I miss all blocks in Visual Composer:
Only content, structure elements and WP widgets are available for selection š
In addition, on the old pages, I can only move the blocks, but not edit them:
How can I repair this defects?
Thank you for your help.
Hi
I found some errors on your site: http://screencast.com/t/AqybPxhu9 which conflicts with theme’s js and breaks the search and other js features. Try deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear the cache, purge the cdn files if you’re using, and test the site again.
Thanks!
Hi
Try to deactivate all plugins, except Visual Composer, clear the cache and test again, let us know how it work afterwards.
Thanks!
Hi
You can delete block title from Visual Composer like here: http://screencast.com/t/qXHVe0XZQEs but notice that if you’re doing any modification after, the title will be put back and you must delete it again, this is a known issue for which we will try to find a solution as soon as possible.
Thanks!
Hi,
I have checked you site and did not found smooth scroll error in the console, but you have another js error – http://screencast.com/t/pxtj8Rw6ZI Did you have activated this feature from Theme Panel?
Please check this without any plugins active except of Visual Composer, clear cache and see if you still have this error, also disable any js/css minifications and deactivate also cloudflare. Like I said there was an issue with smooth scroll but it was fixed in the latest version. Please make sure that you have updated your theme properly, also you can try to do this via FTP to make sure that all the modified files are overwritten – https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Thanks!
Hi
Please make sure that you did the update properly as is indicated in this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/ and also try to clear the cache and deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, purge the cdn files and test again. If the problem persist please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com with login details so we can inspect this issue and a link to this topic so we know who you are.

Thank Alin!
The fix was enabling all elements in Visual Composer! Thanks again!

Hi,
Not sure what you mean, if you want features present in the latest theme version why don’t you update the theme.
You can read more about the .screen-reader-text class here: http://blog.rrwd.nl/2015/04/04/the-screen-reader-text-class-why-and-how/
Regarding your improvements they can also be done in the latest theme version, on top of that the Visual Composer memory issue was fixed in the VC plugin version included in the latest theme version so you can backup your current theme install, WordPress and database update the theme then implement the changes if needed.
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
Please deactivate all plugins except of Visual Composer, clear cache and purge your files if you use CDN then see if you still have this issue maybe it is caused by a plugin conflict. Also you can check browser console for errors and try to disable lazy load effect from Theme Panel > Template Settings – http://screencast.com/t/Dz5X96TVljcc
We recommend WP Super Cache plugin to be used with Newspaper theme and use it on default just page cache. Also please note that if you use cloudflare’s rocketloader is know to cause issues when used with the theme as we haven’t tested the themeās resources using it.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please disable all the plugins, leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and purge your files if you use CDN then check if you still have this issue on mobile as the theme doesn’t add this(you can check our demo on youe decvice – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ ). Also you can check if your server doesn’t redirect on another page on mobile.
Thanks!
