Thanks for explaining all of this so thoroughly. There is just one problem…when I assign “primary categories” for all of the posts which have multiple categories, then when I go to the categories page, the block only displays tags of the primary category. So for example, on the categories page, when you are looking at the Music category (http://e50.4da.myftpupload.com/category/music/), you see that the post “Nashville music’s John Mays gives his thoughts on showing creativity” shows only it’s primary category tag “Prose.” So it looks like it’s in the wrong place…a Prose article on the Music page.
I notice that when a post with multiple categories has NOT been assigned a primary category, then its tag follows the category page. For example, this post (http://e50.4da.myftpupload.com/this-weeks-featured-artist-tim-carr-talks-photography-and-24-hours-in-havana/) is in categories: Gallery, Get Inspired, Making a Difference, Photography, and Prose. The Gallery tag is blocked, using your code. (Thank you!) There has NOT been a primary category assigned to this post. So when you go to the Get Inspired category page (http://e50.4da.myftpupload.com/category/get-inspired/), the tag on the article shows “Get Inspired”. When you go to the Making A Difference category page (http://e50.4da.myftpupload.com/category/making-a-difference/), the tag on the article shows “Making A Difference”. And so on with the Photography category page (http://e50.4da.myftpupload.com/category/photography/) and the Prose category page (http://e50.4da.myftpupload.com/category/prose/). So the article looks like it’s in the right place…it shows the tag of the category page that it’s on.
How can we fix this? How can we make each article NOT show the Gallery tag (and I am happy to choose a primary category for each article) but still show the appropriate tags on each category page? Thanks so much!
Good ideas for basic security:
a) do not use admin as the superuser login name; always make second name; don’t use the superuser admin name to build pages as it reveals that ‘user’ to hackers;
>> ‘superuser’ for site admin
>> ‘othername’ for content building as admin; not superuser level
b) use plugins like ‘limit login attempts’ – a fantastic free plugin to thwart repeat password guessing, and also shows repeat IPs so you know *where* some kinds of WordPress attacks coming from
c) disable xmlrpc – known attack vector; disable editing of WP files from the WP admin; this is done via functions.php or custom plugin
d) force https – all WP sites should be running https now. SSL certs are now free with ‘Let’s Encrypt’ – so your host should be supporting that!
e) force strong passwords (not ‘bunny72’ but ‘8g932vygSD97j$’); disable password reset functions
f) remove all old-unused plugins, themes no longer used – nulled code can still be used by hackers
g) scan site regularly with securi free site scanner
h) make sure using good host running modern versions of bind, mysql, php, etc. — make sure running php 5.6 and up as older versions are ‘end of life’
i) make sure running WP 4.8 and up (all versions of WP prior to 4.7 make have major security flaws; with over 100,000 sites hacked in 2017 due to running OLD versions!)
j) make sure web host running IPtables and automatic Ip blocking for hack attempts; this stops server side IP hacking attempts — all good hosts are running something like this (we do here)
k) fully implement suggestions from the WordPress documentation (always good to learn to use WP by reading the manual …. I know! Crazy, right?): https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress
l) make regular backups (ironically, I am doing that ‘right now’ on my machine while having first cup of coffee …); this means doing MySQL full dbase backups from your hosting panel; not just the ‘export’ option in WP (which doesn’t always do a good restore job on import). The full dbase backup at hosting level, allows you to ‘go back’ to clean version of site if you get content injection hack
After hack; change all passwords (hosting, FTP, and WP); delete WP, all plugins, themes, check for malicious code in htaccess, random weird php files; reinstall everything for clean copies.
Hope that helps.
If you have a high-profit website, you should also consider paying for a PCI-DSS scanner to check your site monthly, as this reveals vulnerabilities in your hosting, server, and your site (e.g., SecurityMetrics, etc.).

Hello Bogdan
thanks for all the tips – first point was easy peasy 🙂
regarding the point 2 – I changed the footer style to nr 5 (which is configurable) but I dont know how to do it :(. Do I have to manually edit the files from FTP ?
I want to have the same effect as in style number 1 but would like to change only the first row (change the category of posts from featured to other category). Could you explain me how to do it ?
Hi,
I have edited the topic title, please do not post or use sensitive information on the forum. The forum is public, for everyone to see.
We have not made any tests for functionality in those conditions. Basically these are the theme requirements needed
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
And these settings for the server and WordPress parameters
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
The theme should function if these requirements are as mentioned. Here are some installation guides as well

Thanks
Hello,
This is a wp issue, not a theme issue. Best to install via ftp as Chris mentions.
This happens on every theme if your folder structure is altered or file permissions are not set properly:

Best to install via FTP, as always as some server systems time out when trying to install stuff via the WordPress installer.

Hello akashdeep305,
Please try to disable all of the untested plugins which can interact with the theme core files and cause a lot of unknown issues. Leave just to active only the plugins come bundled with the theme core files, clear all the caches and check the results. Also, if the problem will be still there, you should try making a new clean install from scratch via FTP way and check the results. Notice that our mobile theme was fully tested and should work as expected with the theme if it was right installed according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!

Hello! Thanks for this code. I notice that it does remove the “Gallery” tag on all of the posts, but it unfortunately also removes all of the tags. For example, this post (http://e50.4da.myftpupload.com/day-3-of-spring-2016-new-york-fashion-weeks-most-inspiring/) is in the categories Gallery (which is hidden), Get Inspired, and Music. However, no categories show in Block 5 on the homepage here: http://e50.4da.myftpupload.com/. Can we block just the Gallery tag, and not all of the other categories? Thanks!

Hi,
The theme reset will remove all the theme panel settings, and the content of an installed demo. But I don’t know how a theme panel setting could prevent the restriction form appearing on the post page, if you are absolutely sure that the plugin configuration is set according to it’s instructions. And it worked before.
You could revert to the previous theme version, to have a working website with this feature, and make more tests with the new version. Make a fresh install by FTP, install only these required plugins and test. Maybe some other plugin is causing all these problems.
Thanks
Hello aanakwue,

Hello dcosimo,
Please notice that our tested plugins are these -> https://www.screencast.com/t/5K4IC4DzqoR
The others are not tested and we can not provide any reference to them.
Notice that if the Newspaper 8 will have to be right installed via FTP According to our documentation, yo will not bring any issues with the theme. Should work as expected.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
The theme does not modify the URL and the permalinks. That is related to the hosting you are using, or your permalink settings
– https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL
– https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks
The theme should work properly on a fresh instal. Try installing it by FTP
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
And use only the plugins include in the theme package to rule out any conflicts. Also deactivate any child theme you might be using.
Thanks
Hello kevinang,
Please try to make a new clean install from scratch via FTP way and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme core files and rule out any conflicting plugins.

Hello aleksandarcasual,
Try to make a new clean install from scratch via FTP way and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme core files and rule out any conflicting plugins. Also, notice that the W3TC and WP Rocket was not tested with our theme and we cannot say for sure if these will work as expected with our theme, sorry! You should use only our tested plugins because they were tested with the theme and should work as expected.
Thanks for your understanding!
