Hi player1,
When you are using a pro demo, and the google fonts are enable, then will be imported all the fonts that you have set on your website, so if you have selected on all elements only 3 fonts, then from google will be used only those, but if you have 20 then all 20 will be imported. For users that use only one font most of the time is better to disable the google fonts and to upload the font locally, in this way the font is loaded faster and is no longer waiting for the font request.
Thank you!

Moreover, you can manually interact with a chosen section/component from the page while the tool records all the involved CSS. It will generate the final CSS file for this page and also will split the rules in Critical CSS to be loaded in the website’s header.” ( https://tagdiv.com/whats-new-in-the-newspaper-theme-10-4-update/ )

Hi,
Please contact us via our support forum, or by email at contact@tagdiv.com when you have questions or issues, those are our main support channels. We check regularly in the Envato forum as well, but it is faster through our forum or email.
Regarding the Instagram issue you mention, I can say for sure that the Instagram integration we provide in the theme works perfectly fine at this time. Assuming you are using the latest theme version https://tagdiv.com/newspaper/
But if this is your website http://podcastermatrix.com/ -> https://i.imgur.com/NsNEUra.png then I see you are using a theme version that is about 3 years old I believe. So there will most likely be problems, the theme can’t function properly for life without updating it. The Instagram functionality has been changed in the theme many times over since then, in order to maintain it. But by using such an old theme version you will not benefit from anything we added or modified over the years.
Please consider updating the theme as soon as possible https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ if you want it to work correctly and fully.
If you have questions let me know.
Thank you!
Hi
I think that you are referring to this https://i.imgur.com/SQks0pa.png that can be from those errors https://i.imgur.com/igS6QDe.png it is preventing the images to be load or it can not load them. Some times this problem can appear when you are using extra plugins that are in conflict with the theme or the server response is longer and the process is ended without loading the images.
Indeed I see that this problem is only sometimes, some maybe if you optimize better your website this problem can be solved.
You can try our guide from here https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ (step 2 is not available on Newsmag only on Newspaper).
I hope this will help you!

Hello!
When you install Mobile Theme plugin or AMP, your pages will be overwritten by the plugin.
The Mobile Theme is a performance optimized theme included in the Newspaper main theme and it loads only for mobile devices. It comes with its own templates for page, post, category, etc so your current templates from the desktop theme will get converted to the mobile theme layout. For more details, please take a look here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
AMP is faster and works better only with the Mobile Theme plugin. The design is looking pretty similar as our plugin.
Please note that if a page is made by Composer, than the content won’t be displayed on Mobile theme version or AMP.
If you deactivate the plugins, then the pages will automatically load how you’ve set up.
Thank you!
Hello!
1. To add a new post, go to your WordPress admin dashboard area > Posts > Add New. Write your post’s title and text and when you are ready, click on Publish.
2. You can change the roles and capabilities of your users: https://wordpress.org/support/article/roles-and-capabilities/
3. Where you upload the image in Media, there is a setting with the size of the image and please select full size.
4. AMP is faster and works better only with the Mobile Theme plugin. The design is looking pretty similar as our plugin. Install AMP and Mobile Theme, then just navigate the website on your mobile phone because the design will apply automatically. For more information, you can check our documentation:
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-amp-plugin-tutorial/
5.You need to enable this option: Mobile+Amp – Displays content using the Mobile Theme on both mobiles and AMP by accessing Newspaper -> Theme panel -> Mobile theme.
6. In our theme we have a setting when you edit the post template with TagDiv Composer. You need to disable that setting like this: https://www.screencast.com/t/JaSHpq10Y
7. Unfortunately, this plugin is not a tested one with our theme, so I’m not sure it is responsive or not.
8. Edit the homepage with TagDiv Composer, and you can edit them. For more information about TagDiv Composer, please check our documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
9. I recommend you to use “column text” or “text with title” elements from TagDiv Composer and insert some texts there in the WP Editor. These elements have a button called “edit content” and if you click on that button, the WP Editor will open and you can add some texts. Write the text in WP Editor, close from X, save and you can see the changes in your homepage.
Hope that helps you!
Thank you!
Hi AppMobi,
Unfortunately, in those situations, those are the faster ways that the problems can be solved, also we do not know exactly what can be the situation, maybe some files are not installed (it can be blocked ) or some styles tot loaded correctly. For this the best way it is to inspect it, also you can provide a temporary access and remove after we check and fix the problem.
1. If you have the possibility to create a staging, then we’ll check only the staging and al changes will be done only there to prevent the problems on the main website.
2. If the problem is not present on staging, then most probably this is not from the theme and it is from some settings/ code … that were added on the main website and in this case the only solution is to check it ion the mane website, the first step it is to identify from where it is coming the problem, then how to fix it.
In case that you are using Cloudflare you need to make sure that this it is set exactly like in our guide https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/ only in this way we can be sure that the theme builder can work correctly.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi,
Our Newspaper Theme webpage https:theicon.ist/about-us is taking a long time to load, compared with other pages across the site https:/theicon.ist .
1. Any recommendations on how to make it load faster? We have already optimized the images, and are using a caching plugin.
2. Is there a way to apply an optimized preloader (from top of the page working down), so that the page loads all items as the user scrolls down?
Thank you for your help, and looking forward to your reply.
Best,
Hello,
With the last updated Newspaper theme 11.2, I have enable the mobile home page to arrange the elements to my needs when visitors uses their mobile to visit my website.
In production site I use WP fastest Cache and this cache plugin uses a separate caching for mobile themes so its works great with Newspaper theme, it caches BOTH Desktop AND mobile page template without many errors.
With many trials and errors I figure out that Cloudflare enabled websites are much faster than sites with simple caching plugins like mines. So I created a staging website (https://exclusiveweb.gr/) cloned from production and started to implement the cloudflare integration. This thing works but because of cloudflare maybe does not have a separate mobile cashing crawler, after I purge the caching, when I first connect with mobile smartphone after the purge, it keeps the mobile theme cached and it shows the mobile template to BOTH Desktops AND mobile phones. If I first connect with my desktop it keeps the desktop to both devices etc. so I have all the component in the wrong order…
I did a little research with other caching plugins like WP-rocket and I still have the same issue with cloudflare, the plugin does not understand the separation between the 2 templates and it keeps showing me the first cached page according with the device it connects first to the website after the purge.
I want to inform you that https://exclusiveweb.gr/ is a testing/staging environment and we could make all the necessary tests to it until we find a solution to a trouble I think it concerns many of your clients!
Kind regards,
Mike

Hi cyberhrc,
1. It is normal that Newspaper theme to use a little more resources because this have many options and possibilities then Newsmag then.
2. If you already have an account then, please use our guide from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-6-how-to-activate-the-theme/ -> https://i.imgur.com/cM3pSuM.png
3. Make sure that al theme requirements are set as in this guide https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ the wp_memory_limit it is essential for cloud templates. Also once that all those are set the cloud should load faster and work better. Also please notice what when you access the cloud templates those are store on our cloud and you need to get them on your website therefore you need to have a good internet connection and sometimes it is require to use a ssl.
In case that you have other problems, please make a test and see if on local host is not working better, if is then the problem it is on host, most probably it is provide few resources.
If this is not what you mean or you have other questions, please let me know!
Thank you!
Hi rebecaserna, I just check your website and now seems to be quite faster then last time and I do not think that this will affect your website https://i.imgur.com/PRCUdIK.png -> https://i.imgur.com/3TQwACk.png the only suggestion it is if you can use smaller images https://i.imgur.com/RMLIgk8.png then the website will be load faster.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi,
it look that the image is load slower, this have on it a transition and opacity, maybe removing theme will make it to load faster, for this you need to use this custom css
body .td-js-loaded .td-element-style-before {
opacity: 1;
}
body .td-element-style-before {
-webkit-transition: none;
transition: none;
}
This code need to be set in the theme panel> analytics/js code between <style> </style> tags, like this -> https://i.imgur.com/qk7VPSF.png
I hope this will help you!
Please let me know the results!
Hi,
If this https://www.corriereromagna.it/ is your website, then I saw that the images are loading quite fast.
Now the only option for lazy load in our theme is the one from the theme panel -> https://i.imgur.com/QSL6VBK.png maybe only if you are using extra plugins that have some options for images.
Also I search on internet to find the best solution for how to optimize and display the images faster and for now this seems to be the best guide https://wpbuffs.com/speed-up-image-loading/
I hope it will help you!
Hello,
currently on my site all the .js files are combined and minified, with the exception of the .js jquery and the .js of the plugin that manages the lazy loading of the images.
I have already disabled this setting of your theme: theme panel – template settings – image loading – use loading animation image = off.
I also disabled WordPress core lazy loading, via the php function in the theme child’s functions.php file.
My problem is that the images don’t start loading unless the whole .js file is loaded first with all the .js combined. Why? Is there a lazy load image option in your theme to disable?
If there is a .js file of your theme that manages the images (which would not load, if this .js is not loaded) I could exclude it to make the loading of the first images faster.
Thanks for support.
I have a background image set on the row which has my header logo. I have optimized it several times, and its size is only 39kb. I have WP rocket which improved the page speed a little bit. But the background image always is the longest to load. Is there any suggestion to make it faster?
Thank You!
Zac 🙂
please understand the problem.
only when I use the cloud header template then page loads in 30 seconds.
if I use no template then it load faster.
please assist asap
Hello!
Unfortunately, AMP is faster and works better only with Mobile Theme, because it is not compatible with cloud templates.
From my point of view, if you don’t use the Mobile Theme plugin, then there is no reason or benefit from AMP.
Check our documentation about this plugin here:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-amp-plugin-tutorial/
Thank you for understanding!
Hello!
I’ve checked your website, I accessed also the AMP page link from your video and it seems there is no AMP page there and the images are displayed. If you do not have TagDiv Composer, then the page should be empty.

Hi,
When you are using the mobile theme plugin, to make the mobile version faster you need to create a separate content for pages (only for pages because most of the time those are made using guilders), the content need to me set in mobile editor and it need to be use only the elements provided by that editor -> https://i.imgur.com/ijOu3cx.png, you can check more in our guide from here https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
Thank you!
Hi,
I just checked your website and I saw that you have some canceled resources in console https://i.imgur.com/EKSV51P.png those take a part of the loading time of your page, I think that if you can fix/remove those elements or make theme to load, the web page will be load faster, then maybe the 27 database queries will not be such a big problem. Also those queries can be made the the blocks that you have on page, each one has different settings, therefore, it will be make a request for each one of them.
Also I note this on our list to see if we can not improve those queries.
Thank you!
Hi muktipolice, if you can provide some more details about the problem and some screenshots, this will help to solve the problem faster.
Thank you!
