Hi,
If your css is stored in Theme Panel -> Custom Code -> Custom CSS, it won’t be lost.
No settings made in Theme Panel or on Posts, Pages, etc. won’t be lost.
The update rewrites the theme files and only the custom modifications made on the theme files will be affected. If you didn’t made any modifications on the theme files, you don’t have to worry.
If you find it hard to update via ftp, there’s an easier method:
– From wp-admin Appearance, just switch the theme to Twenty Sixteen (or any other theme you may have) – http://screencast.com/t/pUsPQIhxy
– from the same area, delete Newspaper – http://screencast.com/t/s4KkeByP9efW – http://screencast.com/t/fGhkkbzJK9xz
– next press on Add New http://screencast.com/t/5RtxCpQvuDy – Upload Theme – and install the theme latest version – http://screencast.com/t/tS8ssTmOkXJb
– activate the theme
Wordpress (and we) recommends that before doing any update to it’s core or update to themes or plugins, to backup your site. More details can be found on their documentation – https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
Thank you!
Hello ohno,
Please keep in mind that the theme is fully tested and compatible with Visual Composer 5.0.1 which come bundled with the latest version of the theme which is Newsmag 3.3. If you are suing some untested plugins, please try to disable all of them and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme packet and rule out any conflicting plugins. If the problem is still there, try to make a new clean install from scratch or create a new sub-domain only with the required plugins, clear all the caches and check the results. For them updating, use the FTP method because this is the surest and safe way in this regard.
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
Please do not install the whole theme package. Please use this guide to install your theme:

Thank you!
Hello,
FTP is simple. You just copy and paste files. If you know how to copy and paste, you know ftp. Simply use a ftp client or your cpanel the host provides (they usually have ftp tools) then access the wordpress files and look for the theme in wp-content/themes/ Delete the newspaper theme from there and copy and paste the new theme version (you download it from envato) in that folder. It’s the most basic thing there can be on a computer.
Thank you!

Not my theme, as i’ve said previously.
Just being helpful to answer your questions while I’m waiting for my server updates to finish over here 🙂
In WordPress, you cannot ‘auto update’ themes unless in the WordPress.org repository, or if there is some intrusive wrapper plugin built into a theme “framework” which is a security risk.
FTP is best way to update/backup your site. Seriously, worth learning to do properly, along with periodic MySQL/phpMyAdmin backups for safe keeping!
The Envato toolkit has never quite worked right for us, so typically best to do updates via FTP so you can take full site backup same time in case you need to “roll back,” and also to ensure everything uploaded properly.
Highly recommended to do updates via FTP, as many folks the past 3 years I’ve been around here have had numerous problems with broken sites using the Envato updater.
Just a suggestion.
Also, Google is super useful to do searches like
“what happened to envato toolkit”
e.g.,
https://forums.envato.com/t/envato-market-wordpress-plugin-beta/21639
http://envato.github.io/wp-envato-market/
QUOTE: “I’m excited to announce the new Envato Market WordPress Plugin. When installed into WordPress the plugin notifies buyers of updates to their Envato purchased themes and plugins, and allows installation of updates directly from within WordPress. We are initially launching the plugin as a beta in order to get feedback from buyers and authors on usability and likeliness to use.
The new plugin replaces the Envato WordPress Toolkit which uses the old API and will therefore be decommissioned along aside it early next year. There are some key differences between the toolkit and the new plugin, namely; the new plugin updates both themes and plugins, it uses the new API with OAuth, it updates itself when a new version is available and doesn’t require authors to integrate a complicated library into their items.”
Hello Satsuki,
I have inspected your website and I notice that you are using the Newsmag 2.3.6 which is not the latest version of it, as you can see here -> http://screencast.com/t/sPtUNmtc18cm First of all, you should update your theme via FTP. Clear all your caches and check the results. I guess that you are referring to these borders -> http://screencast.com/t/AU1eJuQ5sO7w which are present in Newsmag theme? Please check your theme panel at Theme color->Grid Line Color to have a valid color, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/npNIngoMrta
If is not what you mean, please provide more details so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for the message!

Hello manumahajan26,
If you want to remove the theme via Filezilla, please notice that you should simply delete de theme folder which contains all the theme’s core files. You should look at the following useful online tutorials, like this -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2-1SwJp-1Y -> https://trustiko.com/delete-wordpress-theme-completely/ After you have deleted from there, you should install the theme via FTP method according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-install-via-ftp/
Regarding on your second question, I do not exactly understand about what custom headers you are referring to. Notice that our theme has a list of 10 header templates as you can see here -> http://screencast.com/t/qLFTMSvfbwC For more information about our header styles, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-header-styles/ If you want to create your own custom headers you should do it yourself because we cannot provide additional services at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!

Hello Ruban,
The visual composer activation message appears on all sites that use visual composer, not matter the theme or domain. In our case, you must ignore this message as the Visual Composer does not require activation when it’s provided in the theme package. The plugin authors cannot verify this though so they could not remove the message to this particular case. Please read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
All the theme installing should have to be done via FTP because this is the surest and safe method in this regard. For more information about this, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi,
The best way with the least risk is to make a back-up beforehand and update using the ftp method.
Thank you!

Hello manumahajan26,
Please keep in mind that our theme is fully tested and compatible and until now we have not encountered this type of errors and we does not have any bad reports in this regard, sorry! I suspect all of these issues happens due to your bad theme installation. Please try to make a full backup to your database to be safe and then, remove the old theme and re-install it via FTP the latest version of it with only required plugins which come bundled with a theme packet and rule out any conflicting plugins. If you are using some untested plugins, please try to disable all of them because these can interact with the theme core files and cause a lot of unknown issues.
For more information about FTP method, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-install-via-ftp/
Thanks for the message!

Hello adrapper,
Please try to make a new clean install from scratch with the latest version of the theme via FTP, install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme packet, disable the child theme if you are using this and check the results. Until now, we do not have any bad reports in this regard and I suspect your problem happens due to your theme installing. First of all, try to make a full backup to your database to be safe.
Thanks fro your understanding!
Hello emanuelavisco,
I have checked your website and I saw that you are using some untested plugins which can interact with the theme packet and cause a lot of unknown issues. Please try to disable all of the untested plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme packet and rule out any conflicting plugins. Also, if the problem is still there, please try to make a new clean install from scratch via FTP and check the results.
Thanks for the message!
Hello jaypee,
I have checked on our demo on mobile mode and this issue does not appear. You can try yourself and you will see that I am right. This type of problem appears only for your website, sorry! Try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual composer to active, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme packet and rule out any conflicting plugins. If you are using some untested plugins, please keep in mind that all of these can interact with the theme packet and cause a lot of unknown issues, like this. Also, if the problem is still there, please try to make a new clean install from scratch via FTP and then check the results.
Thanks for the message!
Hello,
Well the error seems to be WP error, not a theme related error. Please disable all plugins as this could be plugin related. If you cannot access your back-end you can make the following steps:
a) rename /wp-content/plugins — to xplugins
b) delete all theme folders except for the stock twenty-sixteen
c) then login
d) then go to appaarance > themes, and change theme to twenty-sixteen
e) rename plugins folder back
f) only activate necessary plugins
g) install theme and plugins fresh, via FTP
once theme working
a) resave permalinks
b) use wp-optimize plugin to optimize your WP dbase
Thank you!
Hello,
Please reinstall your theme and disable all plugins. The theme is not properly installed on your site or you have a theme breaking conflict. Please disable ALL plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. If the problem is still there, please install you theme again using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Thank you!
