Hello,
This is a public forum and other members of the forum can see what you post here. I removed your login information from the post. Sorry you got hacked, it seams people do not have better things to do.
Please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin and ftp access so we can take a look and see why the code does not apply.
Thank you!
We had similar issue and got the cheap commercial plugin on Envato “auto post thumbnail pro” — totally worked for us where we had 10 years of content but nothing in the featured image element. Soooooo much simpler than mucking with dbase. We had lots of stuff uploaded via FTP and not in media manager also, and the plugin did the deed for both. Cannot recommend more highly. (remember to add the free “thumbnail upscale” plugin also …)
Very simple.
Did you directly modify the theme files without the use of a child theme?. In my case I manually modified the theme’s style.css, so when I update the theme, I simply go back and minify the css file over again.
So the simplest means to update the theme and not lose your designs and settings or modifications is to simply change the theme to maybe a default one, then delete the Newspaper theme and install the theme directly in the Appearance>theme>add theme . Don’t sweat it, your settings are not lost.
Or you simply update it via FTP. Tagdiv have a nice tutorial to help you out. https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Have a wonderful day.
Are you a representative of Tagdiv?
I understand what you’re saying, but what I don’t understand is how it could have happened from updating wordpres alone — the only thing that automatically updates is the version of wordpress, that’s it… I’ll wait for a representative from tagdiv who can login with FTP and have a look at what’s going on. This might be an issue they are unaware of… If you have a solution, let me know.
Theme cannot magically change your settings overnight. Perhaps you have automatic updates turned on for plugins or WordPress, or you used the pokey Envato plugin to update your site theme (FTP is best).
Put another way, the “theme” cannot change your post settings without you knowing about it. So, check to see what you did between the time you set it and it changed.
Hi,
just some input … what we do is upload images via FTP we don’t want multi-cloned; like logos, or branding, or “about us” stuff, avatar images, etc.
For posts, one way we cut down on multiple image creation is this
a) upload featured image via post panel; then select as featured image
b) additional images on post, we load via html, from FTP versions, so only ONE file exists.
c) for optimizations, we did the most common tricks
— 1) set the default WP sm/med/lg sizes to the 3 sizes we most commonly use, and set largest size to the larger block image on front page, sometimes larger than our post image (640×480)
— 2) turn “off” image sizes we are not using from theme panel, limit sizes used on sidebar to same module sizes used for smaller home page sections
— set all category, archive, 404, author, search templates to use same size images
d) normal WP image compression optimizations, as in our case we pre-optimize uploaded files, and we set the default compression for ImageMagick/GDlib used by WP to 55 or 60 vs default 90.
This helped control the sizes.
On one old site, where images had not been compressed well, and/or could not all be “regenerated” we downloaded the image folder via FTP, then applied a local application to optimize all the images then uploaded the optimized image folder back to server.
Hope some of that helped, or perhaps food for thought 🙂
I just put vua FTP the last theme for the 2 times and put the last JS Composer.
And all works!
Very strange.
The image size problem is not fix so I send you an email with the admin info.

Hi,
You should update visual composer to the latest version but i do not think it will affect the theme panel. Please try to download the theme again and install it via ftp. https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Then you need to check your system status parameters to see if they are set properly: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hello,
Please try to clear your cache and purge CDN files. This error was fixed in the current version and tested accordingly. If you still have the issue after update, and clear cache and purge cdn, then please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin and ftp access so we can inspect the issue and we will come back to you as soon as possible.
Thank you!
Hello,
This error probably originates from your hoting provider or from settings you have on your server. You can follow this topic to try out a few solutions: http://www.templatemonster.com/help/wordpress-troubleshooter-how-to-deal-with-are-you-sure-you-want-to-do-this-error-2.html#gref
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-install-premium-themes-are-you-sure-you-want-to-do-this
Alternatively you can install the theme via ftp: https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/ (best way to do it)
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Ok will work it that way, yes that’s the idea to replace the files, I dont use ftp since the 90’s :), thanks for your help

Didn’t realise everything would stop working, teach me to go in blind and just try and update by FTP!
Grid
1. How can I change the title font on Grid 2?
2. How can I remove the meta data? I tried the following code, but it removed the title too:
.td_block_big_grid_2 .td-big-grid-post-0 .td-meta-info-container {
display: none;
}
3. How can I stop the zooming effect? I tried the code below but it still happened.
.td-hover-1 .td-big-grid-post:hover .td-module-thumb .entry-thumb {
transform: none;
-webkit-transform: none;
-moz-transform: none;
}
4. The padding is uneven, how can I make it equal?
5. How can I make the photo stretch to fill the container?
Hopefully this photo explains the issues

6. How can I adjust the padding in the header menu.
7. Something odd has happened to my BBPress style, how can I fix this?

8. When I try and add too many blocks on a page, I get a 500 error.
It’s a lot, I know, but the update has caused a lot of problems!
Hello,
The envato toolkit sometimes causes errors so the best way to update is through FTP. The best way to update would be to remove your previous version and install the new. Your method works as long as you can replace old files with new ones. If you replace the files changed from 6.5 to 6.6.2 and add the new ones, it should work. Just remember to replace style.css for the theme version.
Thank you!
Hello rentaguide,
First of all, please try to disable all the active plugins and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme. You should update to your Visual Composer to ultimate version (4.8.1). Also, you can read this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
After this changes, if your problem is still there, please try to update your theme to ultimate version.
Before to update, please backup the whole current theme installation as well as the database and wp install: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
After this, you can use the ftp method from theme’s update guide to uploading theme’s files and remove the previous theme files before uploading the most recent ones then test this again and let us know how it goes.
You can find a video tutorial on how to do this in theme’s update guide here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thank you for the message!
Hi,
Something goes wrong on your end. The code does not get implemented corectly. You are missing the last part of the code. The one that creates the DIV element with the class of td-sp-linkedin.
Look how it is on my end: http://screencast.com/t/L9zckEbbwj and this is how it is on your end: http://screencast.com/t/j9zf2tBCuot.
Please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin and FTP access so we can inspect what it is that is causing this. Also include a link to this topic.
Thank you.
Hi Catalin, I tried your recommendation and still am having the problem. Here is a link. Can you tell what might be going on by the type of errors on the page? Thank you.
Hi Bogdan
I already read that part, in fact I installed the envato Toolkit and throws me an error, what Im going todo is replace the folder with the new version (kinda ftp version you have there) but directly on our linux box through cp (backing up the original folder previously), will this work?
Thanks for your support and have a great one
Kindest Regards
When i try to upload theme to my localhost i get window saying:
Connection Information
To perform the requested action, WordPress needs to access your web server. Please enter your FTP credentials to proceed. If you do not remember your credentials, you should contact your web host.
When i enter localhost into Hostname field and my credentials below it doesn’t work
Hi,
Please try to disable all your plugins except visual composer and try the theme panel again. If this does not fix it, then please try to install the theme again via FTP https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/ as something might have gone wrong upon updating.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Well, the update script, if you ask for it, migrates many of the existing settings from old theme to new one. You can then tweak a few of the home page modules for the new system. Not terribly painful. it’s a whole new theme, but the updater scriptlet helps with that quite a bit. You might also need to reset a couple of modules in sidebar(s). But a lot of the normal settings are saved through the WP transients just like any “same theme” update, vs upgrade. it’s only the things that totally changed which require some tweaks.
Of course, always keep backups via FTP, and your mysql dbase so you can “go back” if you mess things up too badly.
Hi there,
I had to modify the style.css file of my Newsmag-child theme in order to get padding at the top of my site page to fit the background skin image because, otherwise, the left and right top header menus (please see http://352.be7.myftpupload.com/) would be overlayed by the skin background image.
So that I’ve applied the following modifications to style.css:
.td-header-container {
width: 1021px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
position: relative;
/* responsive portrait tablet */
/* responsive portrait phone */
margin-top: 95px; /* Row added for padding needed for background skin image */
}
@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px) {
.td-header-container {
width: 756px;
margin-top: 55px; /* Row added for padding needed for background skin image */
}
}
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.td-header-container {
width: 100%;
margin-top: 0px; /* Row added for padding needed for background skin image */
}
}
Is there a way to apply this upper padding only when a background skin image has been set and to remove padding when no background skin image has been set without changing the style.css file everytime by hand? Otherwise a ugly blank padding is displayed when no background image is set (please see 43b.60a.myftpupload.com/)
Thanks a lot for any help or advice,
Giuseppe
Hi there,
I need to use Google DFP and/or Google IMA SDK in order to play pre-roll advertising videos on our pages. I was able to set up a test page http://352.be7.myftpupload.com/index2.html using MediaElement.js player. Here, a CocaCola pre-roll video is displayed before the official video: could you advice a way to set up globally our “WordPress-Newsmag- MediaElement.js” environment in order to use Google DFP/Google IMA SDK HTML5 pre-roll videos?
Actually, my example is limited at this example page and I cannot be able to integrate this approach at global level.
Thank you very much for any appreciated help or advice.

Hi there,
I need to stream live events on my site page so that I’ve created a dedicated LIVE section (please see http://43b.60a.myftpupload.com/tvlivevod/) which use JW-Player to stream live events. As you can see from the page source, our stream provider is external (Seeweb company) and it provides the RTMP flash data flow and the fallback .m3u8 for iOS devices as well.
Could you advice a way to use MediaElement.js to broadcast live streaming events on our pages without beeing forced to use JW-Player?
Thanks for any appreciated help or advice.

Hi,
I use Contact Form 7 plugin in order to get the contact form (please see 43b.60a.myftpupload.com/contatti/). To avoid to get extra CSS and/or JavaScript file on every page of my site, I’ve followed this guide http://code.tutsplus.com/articles/optimizing-contact-form-7-for-better-performance–wp-31255. This way I should get the CSS and Javascript of Contact Form 7 plugin loaded only into the page where the form is really placed.
So that I’ve created a new functions.php file of my Newsmag-child theme which contains only the following code:
<?php
/*
GSM:file functions.php of the Newsmag-child theme
*/
if (!function_exists('aa_deregister_styles')) {
// Deregister Contact Form 7 styles
add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'aa_deregister_styles', 100 );
function aa_deregister_styles() {
if ( ! is_page( 'contatti' ) ) {
wp_deregister_style( 'contact-form-7' );
}
}
}
if (!function_exists('aa_deregister_javascript')) {
// Deregister Contact Form 7 JavaScript files on all pages without a form
add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'aa_deregister_javascript', 100 );
function aa_deregister_javascript() {
if ( ! is_page( 'contatti' ) ) {
wp_deregister_script( 'contact-form-7' );
}
}
}
?>
But, after this I got the following error:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/p3pnexwpnas10_data03/26/2630926/html/wp-content/themes/Newsmag-child/functions.php:26) in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas10_data03/26/2630926/html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1207
What I’m doing wrong?
Thanks
Giuseppe
Thanks!
I’m not sure why this occurs, but you can try these following methods:
– Switch to a different theme and then reactivate newspaper,
– Clear your cache and disable all plugins (check the panel with no plugin active),
You can also try to reinstall the theme. Make a back-up of your database and also back-up your modifications if you have any and perform a clean install via FTP: https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
In rare cases files can get corrupted upon install.
If the problem is still there, then it could be a server side issue and you have to contact your hosting provider.
Thank you!
