Hello,
I just installed Newspaper theme (Default). Have few questions.
1. I already have 300+ articles with images. Do I need to run any plugin to regenerate thumbnails that suits the theme?
2. I have to switch off the featured thumbnail option from the theme panel as the article image was appearing twice at top. How to sort this issue?
3. I just installed setting of default theme and not the data. The home page is based on latest posts. Is there a way to get the home page template for default theme? I can probably customize it based on my data and then use it as a home page. This will save the time as compared to the creating a new page.
Thanks.
Yes there are different templates to choose from. But I choose the same template (style 3) like in de demo:
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-if-you-only-knew-how-much-your-relative-churn-rate-matters/
my image is much higher then in the demo. I have tried to regenerate the images, start all over with new images. But still all the images are higher then in the demo. So something goes wrong, or I am doing something wrong
I could really use some help with the upgrade, my last attempt went fatally wrong and I had to restore the backup files and database. I am running version 4.x (April upgrade). I followed the instructions on your how-to upgrade page.
I turned off all plugins, renamed old theme folder, uploaded new theme 6 folder, ran update script but the settings didn’t get transferred. It was a real mess. I would try and edit the homepage using the Visual Composer.. adding a simple text box but that wouldn’t even show up. I then tried to install the demo with content figuring if that worked I could at least use that as a base but that didn’t work either.
Im afraid to try upgrading it again.
Hi Alin, thanks for getting back to me.
I’ve tried both methods of trying to create the sidebar and neither is working for me.
I went to Template Settings > Blog and posts Template and in the sidebar dropdown box I created a Custom Sidebar,previously I had it set on defaut. The demo categories are not listed on mine because I haven’t installed the demo.
I then went to Appearance > Widgets.
I clicked on the Custom Side box I created and added widgets including Tag Cloud and Calendar. However nothing appears on the sidebars in post pages.
I then went to Appearance > Widgets clicked on Block 1 and added it to my Custom Sidebar and tried to customise it and add widgets but still it doesn’t appear on post pages.
I also tried the custom sidebar method but still nothing. Your instructions are what I had originally tried to do.
By no means am I an experienced web developer, but for the past few years I have been installing and setting up WordPress themes just by following the instructions. I’m so frustrated as I have spent many hours on this and can’t resolve it!
Please help me get the sidebar working.
Now install the demo default, but not like the one shown in the demo
Hello,
I was using this http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/homepage-magazine/ style for newspaper 4. Now how can i use for Newspaper 6? i want sidebar side by side with slider on every page.

http://www.uspornaziarovka.sk/forum/casova-stopa-prispevkov/

http://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/full_screen_preview/5489609
thank you
Hi,
Please provide a link so we can take a look, also you can check our demo and see if it display the same like on your site – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-2/
Thanks!
Hi,
1. I couldn’t access your site – http://screencast.com/t/SQX5FSye6Z7
2. The slider arrows should look like this – http://screencast.com/t/DFsxiHbxax please check our demo here – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ios-slider/ I need a link to take a look.
3. You can use custom css to decrease font size on article title only for mobile screen(use media queries) for example if you refer to IOS silder: http://screencast.com/t/yjtZ9FUj3eq
@media(max-width:500px) {
.iosSlider-col-2 .entry-title {
font-size: 13px;
}
.iosSlider-col-2 .td-module-meta-info {
font-size: 9px;
}
}
Thanks!
Alin,
I made the change in file indicated of the according to your guidance, But not worked.
I put in “fashion” category as a way to test through the demo content, but not blocked Adsense banners in this category.
I hope this has some other solution
I wait for your help.
Thanks
The iframe above didn’t work on the post, so I repost here as a link

SOLUTION
My server has enough max_execution_time; so I commented line 23 in file /themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/wp-admin/panel/td_demo_installer.php
Ive managed to change the title colours ( oops, really should play about more! ) … I just can’t change the text colour under the logo bottom left in the footer :-\ Tried all the other options, nothing is chnaging.
Also, what’s “Block Settings” >>> ” predefined style ” For? – On the home page on the demo for example, you have ” Latest Articles ” In black, I am wanting to change this to red – but struggling where to find that , is it anything to do with these predefined styles?
Hi,
In the next update we want to make the import demo more powerful and with one click you will get a similar installation, not only the Theme Panel settings.
The documentation is a good start if you are at beginning with WordPress.
Good luck in all what you doing.
Have a nice day!
In the main menu I can not go to the main menu items, I only can click on the submenu items of that. If I click on the menu the dropdown appears. For example, if I want to click on lifestyle in http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ I can not go to the main menu.
In internet explorer it works normally.
Does anyone experience this also?
And how do I solve this?
Hi,
Please provide a link and more details about mobile device that you have used. If you tested on desktop and only resized the browser’s window it will look like on your images, but on mobile it should not look like that. Please check also our demo to make an idea.
Thanks!
I have updated it and demo is not getting installed, sent the details via email contact@tagdiv.com on 17th from wizoidteam@gmail.com. Awaiting to hear from you guys.
thanks,
Pandian
Buna,
Tema suporta bbpress, dar folosim pluginul nemodificat de aceea nu mai este o optiune la paginile de template. Daca vrei sa creezi alta pagina de bbpress poti folosi shortcodurile pluginului. Te rog citeste documentatia pluginului – https://codex.bbpress.org/
1. Am verificat ad-ul de pe pagina si nu este aliniat deoarece folosesti header ad. Nu este indicat sa-l folosesti in pagina, incearca sa folosesti un custom ad.
2. Noi recomandam ca WP Super Cache sa fie folosit “by default” (asa il folosim si pe demo), ca sa nu creeze anumite conflicte.
3. Doar copiezi codul iconitei – http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icons/ si-l adaugi in navigation label – http://screencast.com/t/TKqYz6oH5 – http://screencast.com/t/oR2LdrWz
4. Poti schimba formatul datei de aici – http://screencast.com/t/GnSxw1uZAh7
5. Din pacate s-au schimbat shortcodurile, acum quote-urile sunt sub forma de cod html – http://screencast.com/t/MbhkXGm0 – http://screencast.com/t/Y5Z0RrqLFhKr
6. Poti sa adaugi border pe row sau pe coloana – http://screencast.com/t/bOgsp46wS – http://screencast.com/t/NDlZoeQ1bzLI
7. Incearca sa dai re-save la permalinks.
O sa tinem cont de sugestiile tale pe viitor, planuim sa adaugam mai multe optiuni pentru Social Counster, dar din pacate nu pot sa spun o data cand vor fi implementate.
Mersi!
Hi,
I’ve been searching the forums but cannot find a solution to a few issues I have with the slider on my homepage on htt://www.hisoverhers.com
1) On the top left-hand coerner the category name is displayed in a red box and in front there is a shaded/dark grey box with no text. I have noticed that on review posts that box contains the stars given for that review. I only want that shaded/dark grey box to appear on review posts, if possible, or otherwise not to appear at all.
2) I want my slider to look like the one in your demo. With big visible arrows and the text inside the image and not starting outside of the image. Right now the arrows are tiny and on the edges of the slider.
3) In your demo the slider works well in mobile. But when I open my site the post tittle font is huge and does not resize. The result is that text is not displayed properly and the slider looks awful on mobile.
Thanks!
Hi
I recently installed Newspaper 6. I installed a demo layout and in the Theme Panel selected the layout I wanted for all my Categories. All the category landing pages look great but the Homepage doesn’t seem to have had that same style applied. How do I customise the layout of my Homepage?
Basically I wanted http://buzzhut.co.uk/ to look like http://buzzhut.co.uk/category/games-2/ and http://buzzhut.co.uk/category/gadgets/
Where do I go to do this?
Many thanks
Thanks so much for your reply, I guess this is something I really should have started tomorrow instead of this time (it’s 23.04 here at the moment!)
I will certainly look through all of the documentation, I got a little excited :-\
With regards to trying to match the look of the demo theme, the side bars for example, I guess I need to move some widgets around to replace the standard wordpress ones?
Thanks again for your understanding & time in responding
My advice, since these folks are asleep right now–and I am a complete noob just started 2 months ago, so take this with a grain of NaCl:
1. Read all the theme documentation AND Chris’ sticky thread in this forum on switching themes
2. Backup your site
3. Create a child theme
I am not sure what you mean after that, but I’m guessing you like the look of the Classic Blog Stack’s homepage?
If so, on the Theme Panel > Welcome Page… Import Predefined Style (stack)… choose “Classic Blog” (if that’s your preference, “Default” or something else if not) and it should import the desired look without importing any posts or pics etc, like importing the entire demo would.
If you have done the first 3 steps, then you should have no worries about breaking the site.
Ahhh… now I think I understand… Judging by your post, all you have done is create a new page that is based on a basic template. If you already like the theme’s homepage with no changes, that’s not necessary, the theme will generate the home page itself, and its look will depend on which style or stack you import.
Best of luck!
I know this theme has a lot of greatness about it, and the demo looks ace, so perhaps this theme is wasted on me – my question is .. where to start?
On the demo, I only really wanted the theme to look like the Homepage – Blog part –
Am I best to start with installing the content from the demo, then working back by deleting all posts?
I attempted to make a new page, and called it home, I clicked on ” Templates ” and selected the ” Homepage – Blog ” and it said it’s added – but im not sure exactly what it’s done, or if that’s right, so didn’t click publish, Im worried im going to mess up the theme! :-\

Newspaper 6 no es una actualización de la versión 4. Es un rediseño interno completo del Theme, por lo tanto la manera óptima de hacerlo funcionar al 100% es realizar una instalación limpia.
¿Cómo realizar una instalación limpia de Newspaper?
– Entra en http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/themes.php
– Activa un theme diferente a newspaper
– Borra el antiguo newspaper
– Sube el archivo de Newspaper 6
– Activa Newspaper 6 e instala los plugins que vas a utilziar como speedbooster, social, etc.
– Ve a Install demos: http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=td_theme_demos
– Selecciona el estilo que quieres utilizar para tu sitio web. NOTA: NO ACTIVES “Include content” porque eso importará el contenido original del theme como imágenes y post, salvo el hecho de que quieras importarlo para trabajar sobre ellos en tu sitio web.
– Listo, ya tienes newspaper 6 funcional. Ahora tienes que ir a http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=td_theme_panel y ajustar a tu gusto con tu logotipos etc.
Te recomiendo seguir las instrucciones de las dimenciones en logotipos e imágenes que establece el theme como por ejemplo para el logo principal que sea de (272 x 90px) y no de mayores dimensiones. Esto ayudará a tener mejores tiempos de carga.
Cómo optimizar newspaper 6
El Newspaper utiliza otras dimensiones de imágenes para ciertas áreas por lo tanto es recomendable regenerar las thumbnails para que todas estén en el tamaño óptimo y funcionen a la perfección.
– Entra en http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/plugins.php
– Instalar Regenerate Thumbnails, activarlo y ponerlo a funcionar. Lo encuentras en el menú “herramientas”
Vamos a eliminar elementos no útiles con ayuda de functions.php, este archivo lo encuentras en Apariencia + editor + functions.php . Nos posicionamos hasta el final del archivo functions.php y copiamos y pegamos el siguiente código
/* si usas jetpack, con esto eliminamos devicepx */
add_filter( 'jetpack_implode_frontend_css', '__return_false' );
function dequeue_devicepx() {
wp_dequeue_script( 'devicepx' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dequeue_devicepx', 20 );
/* FIN si usas jetpack, con esto eliminamos devicepx */
/* con esto hacemos los 2 jquery de wordpress en uno solo*/
function optimize_jquery() {
if (!is_admin()) {
wp_deregister_script('jquery');
wp_deregister_script('jquery-migrate.min');
wp_deregister_script('comment-reply.min');
$protocol='http:';
if($_SERVER['HTTPS']=='on') {
$protocol='https:';
}
wp_register_script('jquery', $protocol.'//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.0/jquery.min.js', false, '3.6', true);
wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’);
}
}
add_action(‘template_redirect’, ‘optimize_jquery’);
/* FIN de con esto hacemos los 2 jquery de wordpress en uno solo*/
/*Otras optimizaciones */
function wpb_imagelink_setup() {
$image_set = get_option( ‘image_default_link_type’ );
if ($image_set !== ‘none’) {
update_option(‘image_default_link_type’, ‘none’);
}
}
add_action(‘admin_init’, ‘wpb_imagelink_setup’, 10);
function no_errors_please(){
return ‘Tu computadora se autodestruirá en 60 segundos!’;
}
add_filter( ‘login_errors’, ‘no_errors_please’ );
Damos clic en guardar o actualizar.
Newspaper 6 cuenta con Speedbooster, un plugin para mejorar el rendimiento aunque no funciona en todos los sitios web ya que hay que cumplir ciertas características, como por ejemplo tiene incompatibilidad con akismet y algunos otros plugins que comúnmente se utilizan.
Si tu sitio web solo usa el plugin visual composer, entonces puedes usar speedbooster. De lo contrario usaremos otro plugin.
Desactivaremos los AVATARES de Gravatar en: Ajustes + Comentarios + retiramos la opción mostrar Avatares.
Adicionalmente puedes utilizar el plugin “WP-Usuario-Avatar” para establecer un avatar cargado desde tu propio sitio web. Esto mejora drástica mente la velocidad de carga de una entrada con comentarios.
Cómo optimizar tu instalación de wordpress
Si tienes varios plugins vamos a desactivar y borrar TODOS los plugins que no usemos ni usaremos. Recuerda que entre menos plugins tengas instalados es mas veloz tu sitio web.
– Entra en http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/plugins.php
– Instala Plugin Garbage Collector
Activamos garbage collector y lo iniciamos. Este plugin nos ayudará a borrar tablas de datos viejas para mejorar la velocidad de carga de la base de datos. Si no te permite eliminar tablas desde el plugin tendrás que hacerlo desde PHPMyAdmin y borrar manualmente las tablas en la base de datos.
– Instala plugin WP-Optimize
Activamos WPOptimize y hacemos una optimización completa de la base de datos.
Regresamos a la pestaña de plugins y desactivamos, thumbnails regenerate, garbage collector y wp-optimize.
PARA USUARIOS AVANZADOS
Entramos por FTP y editaremos el archivo wp-config.php Vamos a eliminar todos los comentarios y solo dejaremos las líneas esenciales. De este modo pesará menos y quedará algo como este ejemplo.
<?php
define('WP_HOME', 'http://www.yoursite/');
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://www.yoursite/');
define('DB_NAME', 'yourbase');
define('DB_USER', 'youruser');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'pass');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
define('AUTH_KEY', 'your key');
define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'your key');
define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'your key');
define('NONCE_KEY', 'your key');
define('AUTH_SALT', 'your key');
define('SECURE_AUTH_SALT', 'your key');
define('LOGGED_IN_SALT', 'your key');
define('NONCE_SALT', 'your key');
$table_prefix = 'wp_';
define('WP_DEBUG', false);
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
Guardamos cambios y subimos el archivo editado
PLUGINS DE CACHE
Para el test instalé Newspaper en un sitio de pruebas con el estilo TECH. Tengo la licencia de Zen Cache PRO y WP Rocket, aunque también probé con 2 plugins gratuitos como w3 cache y Wp Super Cache. El test fue realizado con GTMetrix, el servidor del sitio web está en españa.




NOTA: En lugar de Speed Booster recomiendo usar el plugin Above The Fold Optimization y solo excluir el archivo style.css

Newspaper 6 is not an update of the version 4. It is a complete internal redesign of Theme, so the optimal way to make it work 100% is performing a clean install.
How to perform a clean installation of Newspaper?

– Enable a different theme to newspaper
– Delete the old newspaper
– Upload the file of Newspaper 6

– Ready, already you have 6 Functional newspaper. Now you have to go to http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=td_theme_panel and adjust to your taste with your logos etc.
I recommend following the instructions in the dimentions logos and images that set the theme as such for the main logo that is of (272 x 90px) and no larger. This will help to have better load times.
How to optimize newspaper 6
The Newspaper uses other dimensions of images to certain areas so it is advisable to regenerate the thumbnails are all in the optimal size and function perfectly.
– Enter http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/plugins.php
– Install Regenerate Thumbnails, activate it and make it work. You find it in the menu “tools”
We will remove not useful elements using functions.php, you find this file under Appearance + editor + functions.php. We position until the end of functions.php file and copy and paste the following code
/* If you use jetpack, with this we remove devicepx */
add_filter ('jetpack_implode_frontend_css' '__return_false');
dequeue_devicepx function () {
wp_dequeue_script ('devicepx');
}
add_action ('wp_enqueue_scripts' 'dequeue_devicepx', 20);
/* END if you use jetpack, with this we remove devicepx */
/* 2 do with this jquery wordpress into one */
optimize_jquery function () {
if (! is_admin ()) {
wp_deregister_script ('jquery');
wp_deregister_script ('jquery-migrate.min');
wp_deregister_script ('comment-reply.min');
$ Protocol = 'http:';
if ($ _ SERVER ['HTTPS'] == 'on') {
$ Protocol = 'https:';
}
wp_register_script ('jquery', $ protocol '// ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.0/jquery.min.js', false, '3.6', true.);
wp_enqueue_script (‘jquery’);
}
}
add_action (‘template_redirect’ ‘optimize_jquery’);
/* End with this we jquery wordpress 2 into one */
/* Other optimizations */
wpb_imagelink_setup function () {
$ Image_set = get_option (‘image_default_link_type’);
if ($ image_set! == ‘none’) {
update_option (‘image_default_link_type’, ‘none’);
}
}
add_action (‘admin_init’ ‘wpb_imagelink_setup’, 10);
no_errors_please function () {
return ‘Your computer will self-destruct in 60 seconds!’;
}
add_filter (‘login_errors’ ‘no_errors_please’);
We click save or update.
Newspaper 6 features Speedbooster </ strong>, a plugin to improve performance but does not work at all as there are websites that meet certain characteristics, such as is incompatible with akismet and some other commonly used plugins .
If your website only uses the visual composer plugin, then you can use SpeedBooster. Otherwise we will use another plugin.
deactivate avatars Gravatar : Settings + Comments + withdrew the Show Avatars.
Additionally you can use the “WP-User-Avatar” plugin to establish an avatar loaded from your own site. This improves drastically loading speed of an post with comments.
How to optimize your wordpress installation
If you have multiple plugins we will deactivate and delete all plugins not to use or will use. Remember that the less have installed plugins is faster your website.
– Enter http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/plugins.php
– Install Plugin Garbage Collector
Activate and start garbage collector. This plugin will help us erase old data tables to improve loading speed of the database. If not let you delete tables from the plugin will have to do it from PHPMyAdmin and manually delete old tables in the database.
– Install plugin WP-Optimize
We WPOptimize activate and make a complete optimization of the database.
Back to the plugins tab and deactivate, regenerate thumbnails, garbage collector and wp-optimize.
FOR ADVANCED USERS
Walked through FTP and edit the file wp-config.php We will remove all comments and leave only the essential lines. This will weigh less and be something like this example.
<? Php
define ('WP_HOME', 'http: //www.yoursite/');
define ('WP_SITEURL', 'http: //www.yoursite/');
define ('DB_NAME', 'yourbase');
define ('DB_USER' 'youruser');
define ('DB_PASSWORD', 'pass');
define ('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define ('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define ('DB_COLLATE', '');
define ('AUTH_KEY', 'your key');
define ('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'your key');
define ('LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'your key');
define ('NONCE_KEY', 'your key');
define ('AUTH_SALT', 'your key');
define ('SECURE_AUTH_SALT', 'your key');
define ('LOGGED_IN_SALT', 'your key');
define ('NONCE_SALT', 'your key');
$ Table_prefix = 'wp_';
define ('WP_DEBUG', false);
if (! defined ('ABSPATH'))
define ('ABSPATH', dirname (__ FILE__) '/'.);
require_once (ABSPATH 'wp-settings.php. ");
Save changes and upload the file
plugins CACHE
For Newspaper 6 TEST, i installed in a test site with TECH style. I have licence of Zen CAHE PRO and WP Rocket (the best cache plugins for wordpress), but also tried with 2 free plugins like w3 cache and WP Super Cache. The test was conducted with GTMetrix, the server of the website is in Spain.




NOTE: Instead of Speed Booster recommend using the Above The Fold Optimization plugin and only exclude the file style.css
When doing anything other then a fullscreen browser window the sidebar is sticking way too far down in the live demo of version 6 (not sure if this is fixed in the actual theme since I haven´t updated yet). The ad, some text and half the article picture disappears. Just thought I´d let you know 🙂
Tested in Chrome and Firefox.
Picture of the issue:
