We recently made changes to the CSS of the child theme but the changes made are not displayed.
We use the sftp via FileZilla to customize the css in Newspaper-child. We replace the css file but the changes does not appear
How to solve this problem?

One question…using custom CSS from this forum I have changed the Big Grid article headings to a shadow opacity ‘block’ – but the headline text has shaded too, I need it to be white like before but I can’t find any other posts here that help?
Another post has the CSS I used and the example link has the opacity box but the text remained white. Can you help me with the colour element of the CSS
Here is the code I used:
.td-big-grid-post .entry-title a{
background-color: black;
display: inline-block;
opacity: 0.4;
}
Many thanks as always
Pat
Great, now you need to look at that to see what is crashing php —

Hi,
You have to deactivate and delete the old version of the plugin – http://screencast.com/t/FZZsE328r then install it from here – http://screencast.com/t/Jwj9PwgEQB
Or you can connect via FTP and delete the plugin – http://screencast.com/t/Jf9VwyIl and upload the new version from theme’s files that you download from themeforest, you can find it in /plugins folder – http://screencast.com/t/CrizmiEuB
Thanks!
Hi,
After I install Visual Composer I get a blank admin page. This is the error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 122880 bytes) in /home/vhosting/t/vhost0066829/domains/masterclassdynamo.nl/htdocs/www/wp-admin/includes/media.php on line 1422
How and where can I resolve this problem in my FTP?
thanks for the response.
how can i update the theme? It is not giving me update available on wordpress dashboard but i know an update is needed because i updated the version on a different site. Also, if i download the theme from code canyon, can i just unzip it and drop the files in my ftp? doing this, will my custom works be overwritten? since i edited files like td_module_single_base.php
thanks
Hi Lucian/Support
Things have gone quite well replicating ad positions. A few questions as I finish off the move to Newspaper 6;
1. TagDiv ad block – for sidebar does this only have one ad and one widget? The one where you enter code in Theme Panel? I have used multiple Adrotate widgets instead.Can I use multiple instances of your TagDiv ad widget? Different ad code in each?
2. I have property pages – they are custom pages from Estatik plugin. in the shortcode from the plugin
[es_single_property] in generates the single property house or apartment – I need to remove all ads from that page and all like it – remove header ad/sidebar (sidebar which I’ve used a plugin for and removed the sidebar so that’s done) and all other banners – just need a clean page or no other real estate agents will pay to list properties with us. My previous theme had a tick box to remove all ads in WP editor for posts/pages. Is there some custom CSS or other code that I can put in to help with this?
also need all ads removing on ‘All Listings’ – ‘For Rent’ – ‘For Sale’ (accessible from dropdown menu) How can I do this?
3. Style 8 (posts) shows badly on smartphones – the parallax seems to corrupt
My staging URL is – http://147.e4d.myftpupload.com
Thanks so much

Usually due to not first turning off all plugins prior to upgrade; or turning off caching first.
Remember to delete old theme when doing updates, not simply over-write.
If using a child theme, remember to check changelog to see if child files also changed and need to be updated. Same with plugin versions included with theme.
Often if you need to “recover” — via ftp or via the hosting panel, rename your plugins folder to xplugins, then login. Then rename plugin folder back, and only turn on visual composer, then other plugs to determine if one is a conflict. Don’t use speedbooster unless everything else working.
Hope that helped 🙂
Hi,
I’m very sorry for this. We had a lot of problems with the update from V4 -> V6 because it’s basically a new theme that we release for free to our existing customers. Can you connect via ftp? go via ftp in /wp-content/plugins and delete the td-social-counter . Or via wp-admin disable the plugin first and an option to delete it will appear. After you remove the social counter you can install the new version via the theme panel and most of the stuff should start to run normally. also please read this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Hi,
You can try to find any references related to this in the error log. If you can’t update the theme in the updates panel, please update it via FTP.
Thanks
note: deactivated the plugins through ftp
sides are back – but without text and for example this side also with plugins have no structure
you can see only hyperlinks but no text –

if you want i can give you in private ftp or admin login.

You will only lose customizations if you edited the files themselves. But your Custom CSS, Analytic code, category, post changes will all remain the same.
Just do a backup of the current folder to your desktop.
/public_html/YOURFOLDER/wp-content/themes/Newspaper
Then drop in the new 6.3.1 version. Tell it to overwrite all files.
I did this on my site without any issues.
But you should look at: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
The video will give you an idea if you do it via FTP.
Hi,
Please connect via ftp and remove the /wpbakery folder from this path: home/justaguy/androidnewbies.com/wp-content/themes/AndroidNebies/wpbakery that was used by the old theme. Afterwards activate the Visual Composer plugin again.
Let us know how it goes!
Thanks
Heh. I don’t work here (TagDiv), but was in my home office Sunday working on our new ecom system, trying valiantly to meet Aug 1 deadline (and doubtful at this moment). Was waiting for FTP stuff to update, so poked my head into the forum here and thought I’d share my thought on that AdSense shenanigans.
I don’t spend much time here anymore, but I have been poking head in re new version of NewsMag which I’ve not had time to upgrade to, so unaware of any new bugaboos and whatnot, hence my comment on a “known devil” … that devil called AdSense 😉
I don’t think there is a “compare” chart between the two themes. Primary diff is the Newspaper is “wide” and the NewsMag is more “narrow” … menu is different, some of the headers are different, pre-built style sets are different, modules are different due to the more narrow width. So on and so forth. Some of the juicy goodness of Newsmag has percolated over to Newspaper v6.
Seems like some stuff needs tweaking, like lazy loading and couple of other things, but it’s been working great based on the “last” version around here. So, “I have faith” 🙂
Hi
The theme seems to be missing the main css file, and can be caused by some plugin that overwrite the theme css or the file got corrupted during the ftp transfer, you cab try to re-upload the theme or try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear the cache, purge the cdn file if you’re using and test again. If the problem doesn’t solved please provide a link so we can inspect it closer.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please check the error.log file, you can find it usually via FTP or C-Panel. If you don’t know what to look for, send us a copy at contact@tagdiv.com and a link to this topic, and we will look into it meanwhile try to disable all plugins and test again.
Thanks!

Hi,
1. Also make sure that you update wp files install and database also: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
2. Either way, but considering the theme wasn’t tested with previous versions of WordPress you should update WordPress then update the theme.
3. Many files have changes from forth version, this sixth version of the theme is practically a new theme. I suggest you note the changes, update the theme using the update guide and remove the files of the 4th version you now have installed then upload the new ones then make the changes again but note that it may be possible not to work anymore.
4. There are lost of improvements, as I stated it’s practically a new theme, with a new grid, new designs, new features, new modules, blocks and posts templates.
Use the FTP method form the update guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and follow the instructions carefully and updating it right shouldn’t cause you any issues, backup your current install, run the import settings script, update plugins and check the result.
You should also consider into the process at the following aspects:
– backup your current theme/WordPress/database: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
– setup a maintenance mode and you can use a plugin for that.
– empty all caches/purge files if you also use CDN host then disable any services of this type until you switch to the new theme
– disable all plugins
– install the theme then install the required plugins
– switch back the rest of the plugins and start other services
Thanks

Hello,
I am looking to update my theme from 4.6.1 to 6.3. I currently have WordPress Version 4.1.6 running and also wanted to update that but wanted to update the theme first. I have a few questions:
1. I have backed up all of the theme files currently on the FTP. If anything goes wrong, I can just restore those, right?
2. Should I update the theme before updating WordPress or the other way around?
3. I have primarily made changes to the theme in the Child. Theme files I have modified (because you couldn’t modify them in the child) are below:
Newspaper\js\td_site.js
Newspaper\js\full_compact\site.js
Newspaper\includes\shorcodes\td_authors.php
Newspaper\single_template_2.php
Newspaper\single_template_3.php
Newspaper\single_template_4.php
Newspaper\single_template_5.php
Will I have any issues with the new version having made changes to these files? Are any of these files changed from version 4.6.1 to 6.3?
4. Finally, can you summarize what the MAJOR changes from the two versions are? Thank you.
