- NewspaperHow to Update the Newspaper Theme
Hi,
That would be a very old version of theme, if I understand correctly you are still using theme version 6. It is always recommended to keep both WordPress and the theme up to date. Updating just one or none when updates are available is not the best practice.
Much has changed in the theme since then. Please check the changelog at the bottom of the theme presentation page
– https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609
Update the theme by FTP if possible, that would be the best method to update. Make a backup before updating
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
A thing to note is that once you update the tagDiv composer (introduced in 8.0) will be automatically activated. Visual composer elements in pages may not display properly if the tagDiv composer is active. Deactivate it and leave Visual composer (now named WP Bakery page builder) active. Update Visual composer and there should be no issues
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Be sure to check if there are sufficient resources allocated for a optimal performance
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Check the theme system status and if needed ask your hosting provider to increase those parameters.
Le us know if you encounter any issues and we will try to help you as best we can.
Thanks
Hello minamoto19,
Notice that we do not have any bad reports in this case until now, sorry! I suggest you make a new clean install to another subdomain for testing via FTP way, clear all the caches and check the results. Use the FTP way for theme updating because this is the surest method in this case. After you have followed this steps, check your results and see if the problem is still there.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
Now that is unusual, so when setting a simple background image for the category page, it no longer functions properly and leads to an attachment page. I have not seen this before, this is not proper functionality.
I suggest to begin with the basics. Deactivate all plugins except theme plugins, remove any theme modifications, switch from the child theme to the main theme. Temporarily remove codes entered in the theme panel if you have any.
Also try changing the permalink structure to a default one and save. Ultimatelyy you could try re-installing the theme, by FTP would be most recommended

Let us know what you find.
Hello jmedina0107,
Please try again to make a new install via FTP way, clear all the caches and check the results. If the problem is still there, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) and Cpanel access so we can take a closer look at it.
Thanks for your understanding!
Ok my problem is now solved.
The problem is caused by mod_security in my Cpanel. I tunred it off and all these page are not error anymore. But have to re-upload again via ftp and all error page are now gone. It is cause by hosting provider. SOLVED
Thank you Simon.
Thanks for the advice Catalin. This did not work. The version of NewsMag that I am running is version 4.3 and TD Composer is version 2.2. When you say install the FTP way, I did this when I first installed the theme. Are you saying I need to install the theme again via FTP? Does that mean I need to uninstall the theme and reinstall it?
I continue to get the 404 error on pages only. Categories and Posts are working. Even new pages I make get the 404 error when published. If I leave it as a draft it works fine.
WPBakery is formerly known as Visual composer, they changed the name of the plugin. But that is not important if you do not use it.
Please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login access as well as FTP if possible. We will take a look. Include a link to this topic in the email.
Hello jmedina0107,
First of all, ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme installed via FTP way, the version of TD Composer, please enable GD Library and mbstring for PHP on the server and also, try to set up the below code in .htaccess!
<IfModule mod_substitute.c>
SubstituteMaxLineLength 10M
</IfModule>
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello dawoodafzal,
I suggest you make a new install to another subdomain for testing via FTP way, remove all of the untested plugins, clear all the caches and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
So there was a problem during the theme install. Please try installing the theme either by WordPress or FTP, those methods would be more reliable

In case there is still a problem, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin access and also FTP if possible. Mention what were the problems you encountered when installing the theme.

Salut domnul Catalin acum am facut exact ceea ce mi-ati spus am facut update prin ftp deoacare eu nu prea ma pricep la wordpress (adica chestiile de baza le fac instalez site si tot ce trebuie dar o mica problema in site si sa pun coduri sau ceva de genu … stric tema mai ales aceasta tema ca e sofisticata) app am descarcat tema am dezarhivato si am urcato prin ftp toate bune si frumoase doar ca acum pozele din websiteul meu nu se mai vad corect in safari. http://www.vdtonline.com chestia asta e de cand am facut ultimul update la tema
You could try a theme reinstall and see if this works. By FTP would be the recommended method if possible
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Note that if you made any direct modifications to theme files they will be lost if you re-install the theme. Always make a backup just to be safe.
Hello lafber,
You can upload them in Media Library because all of these will be uploaded into your database and you will not lose them to a future update. Also, you can make a new folder via FTP way where you can add your desired images.
Thanks.
Hello Michel Laroni,
Ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme installed via FTP way, clear all the caches and check the results. The Instagram can be changed from here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/fK9LqkiM9
Thanks.
Hello Ant0ni0411,
Ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme installed via FTP way, update all of the required plugins to the latest version of them, clear all of the untested plugins if you are using something like this, clear all the caches, purge CDN files and check the results.
Thanks.
Hi,
If you keep replying in your own topic it will only delay our answer unfortunately. The topics will be answered by oldest to newest.
Issues with the composer can be caused by many factors. The most common cause is simply insufficient resources. As you install more plugins the WP memory will be depleted and this will cause problems with the theme and plugins.
Please check the theme requirements guide carefully
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-requirements-for-newsmag/
The theme has a system status panel you can check to see if everything is set properly. This would be the first step to try and fix the problem. If needed contact the hosting provider again and ask them to increase them according to the guide.
The next possible cause would be plugins. Deactivate them all except the theme plugins. Check if this has any effect. Also test on a new page.
If there is still a problem after doing this, we could take a look. Send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin access, FTP and cPanel as well if possible. Include a link to this topic in the email.
Thanks
Hello,
Customizing my theme I was wondering where should I put my images for the theme (not the articles).
By default it goes to upload media folder with the year month segmentation.
Isn’t it better to put them by ftp in the theme folder like Newspaper/images/something? Will it survive an update of the theme?
Regards,
I have installed it via FTP (since my WordPress doesn’t allow me up directly upload such a large file) but the problem is still here.
Also the problem with the search function is happening again, it just freezes the site, please direct me on how I can fix it.
Is there no way to make the mega menu work on the demo I am using? Because I have spent hours customising it and to just change it now would be extremely annoying since I love everything how it is now except the mega menu.
Hello danielvdell,
First of all, ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme installed via FTP way, the version of TD Composer should have to be 2.3, please enable “GD Library” and “mbstring” for PHP on the server and also, try to set up the below code in .htaccess!
<IfModule mod_substitute.c>
SubstituteMaxLineLength 10M
</IfModule>
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!

Hello Charlie,
Yes, the latest version of the theme is Newsmag 4.3. Ensure that installing has been made via FTP way, clear all the caches and check the results.
As a hint, try to install the Newsmag Travel demo and check the functionality of mega menu and try to replicate it on your website.
Thanks for your understanding!

Hi,
I updated to the Newspaper version from 4 May through ftp. Unfortunately, my Instagram counter in the footer 3 – Widget – TagDiv Social Counter (Volg ons / Follow us) doesn’t work. It shows 6, but we have 21 followers. How to solve?
Please check http://www.next.blue and instagram account nextbluephotos.
Thanks
Hello NonoLoko,
Please update again your theme via FTP way with more attention. Our latest update has been fully tested and should not break the site, sorry! The main problem comes from your theme installing, most likely, unfortunately! I suggest you make another theme install to a new subdomain for testing, clear all the caches and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
