Sad the envato plug in is not working anymore. It had worked great for me before.

I am also having trouble updating to 4.2.2 (Messing around in ftp is always scary for a newbie like me — still learning). 🙂

Here is the URL to my site.

http://684.0ab.myftpupload.com/

When you hover the mouse over the Category “Blog Tasting Parties”, it displays 4 images with a slider button underneath to the right of the name of a sub-menu. Then on the left side below the images and slider button, you then see the names of the two sub-menus. I only want to display the names of the sub-menus. I do not want to display the 4 images and the slider button.

When you update the theme (as tagdiv are doing often), I usually re-install the theme by uninstalling the old version and installing the new one (of course I have to change the theme for a moment to twenty fourteen). As long as I do not touch anything it seem to be okay, but, could it be a problem? I think it is easier than using ftp o through the plugin you mention on the doc.But if it can break my site I would rather learn how to use FTP or use the plugin as is shown here https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-automatically-update-newspaper-theme/

I’ll wait for your answer and I will update it then.

Thanks
Jorge

It’s in the “all files” download from your theme forest account for the newspaper theme; when you uncompress the newspaper-tf folder, you will see sub-folder “plugins.” 🙂

also see, if you wish to use the WP panel to upload, assuming proper file/folder permissions
https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/

I normally uncompress locally on my hard drive, then FTP up manually to replace old content.

You might try downloading files again. Also don’t use FTP tool to unzip as I have had nothing but problems there, same goes for unzipping on the server.

I was able to decompress the file with no issue using WinRAR on my local PC, so file is good.

Changelog shows version: 19.08.2014 – ver 4.3.3

The same way how you install it the first time you bought the theme,for updates you just have to overwrite the old files with the new ones from ur FTP …Smh

Well … if you don’t have a website to upload to, then it’s a moot point on FTP, obviously.

Permissions on your local machine might not allow playback via a virtual machine. Dunno.

Spaces in file name?

Well, if you have “my new song.mp3” … that looks like song.mp3 to most servers unless the %20is inserted to fill the empty space, such as my%20new%20song.mp3 and so a link to the file might show it not being there. File names should NEVER have spaces in them or more than one period.

Ideally, try loading them to a folder on your web server and see if they work on the web from the browser. Sometimes stuff just doesn’t work off your local machine and that’s just the way it is. Gremlins!

it can’t be the point 4) – the filename is ok.
all files are the same files (create in the same way etc.) – that’s why i’am so wondering why some of them aren’t work.

could you write more about point 2) and 3)? how can i check it?

i work on a local server (xampp), so i can’t do it via ftp.

thank you a lot!

Hi,
sometimes it’s from
1) file corrupted by media center upload; best to do via FTP and do as binary files
2) permissions problem (not readable by public)
3) space in the file name not being converted to %20
4) multiple periods in filename which most web servers hate; eg. massivesong.rev2.mp3

Not sure if that helps, but those are the issues I’ve had with audio files. 🙂

Hi Lucian,

I did everything as you mentioned (except that my site is developped locally on my Mac and didn’t need ftp), but I still do not see the VC button, neither on the Page nor the Post modification view.

Can you verify on your side if my VC license is activated (when I re-clic on the “Activate” button it doesn’t seem to do anything)?

Please let me know what to do? Would it better to chat on the phone? If yes, let me know your number.

Truly appreciate your concern and reactivity,
Yan

Basically it looks like you tried to run the patch updater and PHP couldn’t do the upgrade using fastcgi vs running as apache.

Likely make sure you update your theme using the FTP method to upload new files, and make sure you DELETE any patch updater file on your server!

There should NOT be anything here after you upgrade
html/wp-content/themes/Newspaperpatch/

hi Lucian,
thanks for the reply!

I reloaded on the ftp the file of the theme. now the css works!

Can I ask how to bring in the big slider the three smaller pictures at the side of the big one? as in your theme Newspaper?

Thanks a lot!

3.6 to 4 is simple; follow the manual upgrade option
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/

Be sure to update the plugins found in the themeforest “all items” download for the theme, in the plugins folder after theme files updated.

be sure to

First make BACKUP of your dbase, and any special files you’ve modified; turn off all caching, clear caches, clear cache on CDN if using one; turn off mod_pagespeed if using it.

1) switch to main theme, NOT the child theme if using one
2) turn off all plugins while doing update
upload theme files via FTP
3) turn on ONLY the plugins included with theme after upgrade of both theme and plugins
4) if sidebars disappear you can usually just go to appearance and resave them and then back
5) turn on any “extra” plugins

Hope that helps! 🙂

In Newspaper/includes/modules/module_modifier/ you have td_module_blog.php. This is one of the files you can overwrite (at least I find) in a child theme, which you can set up here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/child-theme-documentation/

Once you have the child theme set up and activated, copy and paste that file into the corresponding folder in your child theme. Then edit the file.

The function get_author_box is the one you want to change.

Specifically, change these lines:

$buffy .= '<a href="' . get_author_posts_url($author_id) . '">' ;
$buffy .= get_avatar(get_the_author_meta('email', $author_id), '106');
$buffy .= '</a>';

to this one line:

$buffy .= get_avatar(get_the_author_meta('email', $author_id), '106');

and change this line:

$buffy .= '<a href="' . get_author_posts_url($author_id) . '">' . get_the_author_meta('display_name', $author_id) . '</a>' ;

to this:

$buffy .= get_the_author_meta('display_name', $author_id);

Save the file and upload via FTP. Clear cache and check the bottom of a post.

Hope this helps!

best bet is to review the docs for the theme:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-documentation/

really simple, but best way to do it is via FTP:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/

1. How to update the theme (manual)

Here are the steps required to update the theme via FTP:
◾Connect to your FTP account using Filezilla
◾It is a good idea to make a backup of your current theme installation
◾Unzip the theme downloaded from http://www.themeforest.net to a folder, in this folder you will find a file called Newspaper.zip
◾Unzip the theme (Newspaper.zip)
◾Via Filezilla go to the wordpress theme directory “your site public html/wp-content/themes/Newspaper”
◾Overwrite the files from that FTP folder with the ones from the content of Newspaper.zip

Hm. Not sure how your site can be calling that plugin if it’s not active, unless you have pages with a widget or hard-coded element – which have some kind of call to the plugin which should be switched off when the plugin is off.

Likely best to reset your plugin folder

1.Via FTP or your host’s file manager, navigate to the wp-contents folder (directory)
2.Via FTP or your host’s file manager, rename the folder “plugins” to “plugins.hold”
3. Login to your WordPress administration menus (/wp-admin)
4. Via FTP or your host’s file manager, rename “plugins.hold” back to “plugins”

Thanks for your input, Chris. I’m normally uploading my theme via ftp. It’s weird because this problem started with 4.2. I will try to disable plugins even though I’m only using “big” plugins like W3Cache, WPSeo or Jetpack.

Not having this issue, so no idea. Wait for Lucian to be back on Monday, as he may have suggestion. First option is usually turn off any oddball plugins to see if messing with stuff or try re-uploading the theme files manually via FTP to ensure nothing got crunched (I’ve had this happen with the zip installer via WordPress panel… so now I only trust FTP upload!)

You probably need to reinstall the plugin by uploading it via FTP from the themeforest “Newspaper” download, and replace the copy on the server; this is normal cause of that error from my own experience; meaning there is something missing or broken in the upload of the VC plugin folder.

I even don’t have categories installed – that’s weird. These are old categories from my last installation – and I deleted all from the FTP oO
