Hi Catalin, many thanks for quick reply…
Just saw the same bugs on your demo website. Possible it´s only a issue in combination with iPhone + Chrome. Apart from that, use the newest newspaper version, delete additionally all caches and other plugins. Reinstall + install via ftp newspaper, wordpress again etc. and use only recommended plugins – without any effect.
Here are the images of your demo website:

Please let me know what we can do…
Many thanks, Manfred
Hello Everyone,
This is the first time i am using Visual Composer and the Newspaper 7 WordPress theme. I saw some videos on Youtube about Visual composer where (for example on this video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiTIrxGT4Dk at 1:47) have at page editing a button with Backend Editor and a button with Frontend Editor.
I have done literally everything but this damn frontend editor button is nowhere to be found.
I have a fresh install of WordPress 4.5.2
Fresh install of Newspaper V 7.0.1 with “Say What?” demo settings and content.
Fresh install (and activated) Visual Composer 4.11.2, no other plugins actived or installed.
php.ini configuration
Server software
Apache
PHP Version
5.5.32
post_max_size
50M
max_execution_time
300
max_input_vars
5000
SUHOSIN installed
false
And also the WP Memory Limit has been set to 96 MB/request.
I am out of ideas other then, its not possible to have the frontend editor work with Newspaper 7 🙁
Additionally. On your demo here: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ is the mobile theme activated? If it is, How are you guys still able to have a customized homepage on mobile phones while using the mobile theme?
Hello bowman9991,
Please notice that our theme has been tested with all type of browsers and it does not seem to appear this type of issue. Please try our demo here -> http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ and see this error do not appear on our demo. This is the original behaviour for our theme…so, please try to check all your theme settings and you should try to revert all of them to the default state to rule out any errors. Please notice that as long as this error does not happen for our demo means that the problem is on your side. As a verification, please try to make a new fresh install and check if this problem appears or not. Also, if you are using the CDN, please try to purge all CDN file, clear all your caches and test it again.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi Catalin,
Thanks for your fast reply. Ofcourse we can understand, i think it was a simple setting, because it is in the demo theme.
We will try to change the .css.
Thanks,
Hello Jefferey,
First of all, thank you for your kind words and thank you for your appreciations.
For your first request, please notice that the News Magazine demo has own custom style and it is not a simple task to achieve this. For more information about how can be done this, please check the demo_style.css for this type of demo -> http://screencast.com/t/XFMXVP9Nf and try to implement yourself this style for our default demo template because these changes involve customization services and we cannot provide these types of customization at the moment, sorry!
For your second request, please notice that in order to achieve that symbols and fonts you will have to use Font Awesome 4 Menus. For more information about this type of tested plugin, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-add-icons-in-menu/
Please notice that our default demo uses the default fonts which are Roboto and Comic Sans and the font sizes depending on where it is used in the theme.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello zumaxb,
Please check our demo preview here -> http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/ and there you will be able to preview all of these blocks and you can identify yourself which are the differences between them.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello,
Well this is not a bug as we do not get this error at all on our end or on our live demo. The issue most people had with this was based on the old version of style.css (from newspaper 6) being served through cache and breaking the layout.
If this is not the case then please disable all plugins except visual composer and clear all caches in order to rule out a plugin conflict. Then activate plugins one by one and see which one breaks the layout.
If you still have trouble with this, please send us an email at contact@tagduiv.com and provide wp-admin sop we can login and inspect the issue directly.
Thank you!
Hi,
1) The mobile menu problem is generaly caused by the old style.css from newspaper 6 being cached and served on the site from the cache. That causes the layout to break so clearing caches will eliminate caching issues.
On your site you no longer have the overlaping mobile menu: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-aston-villa-beat-liverpool-to-join-arsenal-in-the-fa-cup-final/
2) Please disable all plugins except visual composer and activate the mobile theme without other plugins. Some plugins can cause conflicts with our mobile theme.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks.
Hi Catalin,
I found an example of the boxes, more exactly tabs, on Newspaper Demo. Here is the example, the small boxes in yellow above the block. http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
I didn’t find the way to change the colors and to change the look of the boxes
Thank you
Hi Support,
Thanks for the great update to version 7. It looks nice, and the mobile theme is fast, realy fast (-:
Quick question.
The Newspaper News Magazine theme have a good design for the headings/ tabs. Question, currently i used the default Newspaper 7 theme, how can i change the default theme to use the heading from the Newspaper news Magazine Theme.
At the moment i have: http://www.screencast.com/t/ThImCruc How can i change the style to this: http://www.screencast.com/t/eeg1eVuv9T
Last question, i think resolved with the question above. How can i create this style. I have the tabs created with VS, only the style is different. http://www.screencast.com/t/oahYFhm9vuN
And what is the font style and size what you used in the demo Newspaper news theme.
Thanks for your great support. Currently almost 1 million unique visitors each month with this theme.
Jeffrey
Hello Daft-Trak,
Please notice that in the magazine demo has the own custom style. If you want to make for your default demo to use the custom style from the magazine demo, you will have to check the demo style CSS like this -> http://screencast.com/t/qKAbQS94vhV and try to implement yourself this customization for your side. If you are not aware of the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide customization services at the moment, sorry!
Thanks.
Hello Catalln,
Thank you for your reply.
I did eveything what you ask , nothing has worked.
then I installed demo with content , i deleted all content in it , so visual composer worked that way.
I took while to wipe all data from demo content though.
I am not sure what is causing to get Visual Composer tab but you should check it out.I have seen several of your customers reporting same issue.
Best Regards.
As I follow the instructions, my website doesn’t look at all the way it appears in the look of the demo. My header couldn’t look more different, for some reason, all my columns are listed on the header, and I expected to see a brief preview of each article, not the full text on the home page.. What is happening here? What am I doing wrong?
Hi,

Thanks for your response, Catalin, but still new templates at jcomposer are missing. I have the latest theme and plugin versions. I can see new templates at /neewspaper/install demo menu at admin panel but in the backend editor new templates are missing. Please help..
Hello,
URGENT Help!
I have been using the Black demo. But the thing is, I liked those settings that much, that after removing your demo content, I started writing my own content in it. The website looks exactly like your demo one.
My question is, if I update the theme, will all my new settings/posts/pages will be removed?
My website url: http://www.currenthollywood.com
Hi,
Unfortunately font awesome has it’s own icons and you cannot add custom icons to it. Our theme uses it’s own icons as well. You can use these font icons with css if you get the content code from here: http://screencast.com/t/YKrcUewflNDo and then add it with a ::before or ::after pseudo-element in css like so:
http://screencast.com/t/NMVQLSxxYb – http://screencast.com/t/lgNgmS6O09Me
The downside is that those icons you found are specific to one of the demo styles in our theme and they can only be accessed if the specific demo is loaded.
If you require custom icons, you can find some vector graphics and implement them by following this topic:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-add-a-custom-icon-with-css-code/
Hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi,
The demo sliders can be provided by us via email. please make a request for these sliders at contact@tagdiv.com and we will provide them there.
As for the Whiteboard, I cannot say for sure, we will have to wait and see. There is no solution at the moment to activate the add-ons on a free version of the plugin.
Thanks.
Hi,
1) Please update the social counter by disabling the one you have now and deleting files and installing the new plugin version which comes with the latest theme version. You must have social counter version 4.0 for it to work properly
2) There is no official soulution for adding new social icons but you can try to replicate this method for adding a new social share option: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/add-a-linkedin-button/
3) The name of the file must be the same as the one in the main theme. your file is named functions2/.php
4) Same as 3
5) There are lots of plugins not compatible with speedbooster that people use. We have no alternative to provide but there is this workaround: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tinymce-advanced-and-other-various-disabling-speed-boster/
6) The cropping of the featured images is different for all post styles you use. There are a total of 14 post templates to chose from: https://forum.tagdiv.com/post-templates-2/
7) The homepage is the most customizable area of our theme. You chose from a total of 25 content blocks: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/ and 12 big grids: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/ among other elements.
Please read the documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-documentation/
8) APC is different from a caching plugin and it is compatible with sp super cache APC is a cache for PHP: http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/website/what-is/speed-up-php-with-apc
9) Please contact your hosting provider and make sure compression is allowed/enabled from the server side.
10) Those are alternative methods. Use one or the other, not both
11) Speedbooster is for advanced users only. You placed the js inside the style css part. Please read it again and check the screenshots to see where to places css and where to place js blocks.
12) For a smart sidebar please read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-sidebar-2/
13) You can use a redirect to send the user elsewere if he clicks the author name: http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/beginners-guide-to-creating-redirects-in-wordpress/
Thanks
Hi,
I’m not sure exactly why the speed is so slow on your site, as our live demo gets a 73 score: http://screencast.com/t/6hly7k8hmA
Please try to deactivate all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Thre is something altering the results.
Please follow this topic to improve general page speed: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
A note on the speedbooster plugin: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tinymce-advanced-and-other-various-disabling-speed-boster/
Hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi,
If you up[date to newspaper 7, you will see that the style is totally different: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/#
We made significant improvements to the mobile menu so the social icons are now inside the menu itself as well as the login widget.
Thanks.
Hi,
Unfortunately every demo has it;s own style and this cannot be changed from the theme panel. It has to be edited with custom css if you want to change it.
This code should get it closer to the default titles:
.td-blog-baby .td-ss-main-sidebar .block-title{
border-bottom: 2px solid black!important
}
.block-title span{
display:table-cell!important;
color:white!important;
background-color:black!important;
border-style:none!important;
padding:5px!important
}
Hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi,
I have tested smartlist 2 and it displays properly just like on our live demo: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/smart-list-style-2/
This is most likely a plugin conflict so please deactivate all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. The test your smartlist again.
Thank you!
