Hello Support Team,
I need some guidance regarding a few features on my websites that are currently visible but not functional. I’m using the **Newspaper Theme**, and I would like to know the correct way to set these features up.
My websites are:
* product-wiki.com
* financedecoding.com
I would like to make the following features fully functional:
1. **Subscribe Button (on both websites)**
* When a visitor subscribes to the newsletter, I want their email to be collected.
* They should automatically receive a confirmation or welcome email.
* I would also like to know how I can manage the subscriber list.
2. **Write for Us / Publish for Us (on Product Wiki)**
* I want users to be able to submit articles or guest posts.
* Please let me know the recommended setup and whether I need any additional plugins.
3. **My Account / Login Feature (on both websites)**
* The My Account/Login option is visible, but I’m not sure how to configure it.
* What is the intended functionality, and what steps are required to make it work properly?
4. **Email Us / Contact Feature (on Finance Decoding)**
* I want visitors to be able to send messages through the website, and I should receive those emails in my inbox.
* Please explain the correct setup process.
Could you please provide a step-by-step guide for enabling these features?
Also, if these functions require additional plugins, integrations, or third-party services (such as newsletter services, SMTP/email plugins, user registration plugins, or contact form plugins), please recommend the ones that are compatible with the Newspaper Theme and explain how to configure them.
I’m looking for the complete setup process so that all of these features work correctly.
Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards,
Kunal
Hi,
Wordpress and the theme do not have this functionality, but it can be achieved using a plugin.
Plugins for Guest Authors (no WP user needed)
Co‑Authors Plus – Classic choice; supports multiple authors per post.
PublishPress Authors – Easy profiles, author boxes, and archives.
Simple Author Box – Lightweight author box + custom guest info.
WP Author Box Lite – Profile box with social links.
Guest Author Name and URL – Very simple guest name/URL override.
Using ACF (Advanced Custom Fields)
Instead of a plugin, you can: Create custom fields for guest author details:
Name
Bio
Photo
Website / Social links
Then edit the single post template with tagDiv Composer and add teh custom field element, in it select teh acf filed to display the author info on the post.
Hi there,
we also publish guest posts. Is there a way to add an author profile without creating a real WordPress account for it?
Thank you for the help but all plugins are updated and activated.
I also tried deleting the plugins manually and installing them directly from the download folder. I tried reverting the theme back to the old version and issue persists.
This only happens when I’m logged in. It goes away when using the site as a guest.
GUEST ME FREE PLUGIN AND SEND ME VIDEO HOW TO USE PLEASE
The URL types (https://www.electronicsforu.com/electronics-projects/reference-design-dual-motor-drive-for-robotics?tdb_action=tdb_ajax) are visible in Microsoft clarity, but when I am browsing my website as a guest user the tdb_action=tdb_ajax is not showing in URL.
Hi Team
I am looking for a plugin or feature in the newspaper theme where
A guest with writing skills completes registration as an author
While approving, there is an option to add the author as;
Paid per Post: Based on the number of posts published, he gets credit. The rate of credit/Post is set in the backend by the admin
Paid per Post Engagement: Based on the number of views, the author is paid. (Option to select number of visits per IP/day will be counted for this | Bot Blockers | Ad Blocker Based Counter | Number of seconds required for counting it in)
If this can be implemented, it will be great. Any plugin type of thing on paying extra (if introduced) Its okk.
Regards
Hi,
1. This is how it is supposed to work. Normally, the live search uses the icon, and when it is clicked, the search input is displayed, and the results are displayed. When it’s used to display the form, then the live results are no longer provided in absolute position because the input field is no longer in absolute position and the results are displayed inside the header, not over it. If you want to have the live search results over the content, please add an inner row above the search element, then drag the search in the inner ro column – https://i.imgur.com/c7ehXTw.png https://i.imgur.com/oSthP8j.png then you need to set the inner column as absolute position – https://i.imgur.com/JfRgEHG.png. After that it may be need to add some negative margin top for the inner column, I think around -30 https://i.imgur.com/h8gZ3bk.png then the results will be https://i.imgur.com/BfS9tK6.png
2. Unfortunately, this is how the back to top style 2 was made, only back to top option 1 will go over the footer.
To set the login button to the left, please use this custom css:
.td_woo_menu_login .tdw-wml-guest .tdw-wml-menu-content {
flex-direction: row-reverse;
}
Thank you!
Hi,
Thank you for your message and your continued support,we really appreciate your feedback!
We’re currently estimating a theme update toward the end of the month, which will include fixes and performance improvements.
Many of the features you mentioned are already available in our theme and can be implemented using the tagDiv Opt-in Builder:
Pricing table with payment options
Examples:
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_coaching_pro/pricing/
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_downtown_pro/tds-switching-plans-wizard/
https://demo.tagdiv.com/select_demo/newspaper-prebuilt-websites/?demo-type=membership
Paywall for exclusive content (supports direct bank transfer, PayPal, and Stripe):
https://forum.tagdiv.com/subscriptions/
Frontend guest and sponsored post submission management with payment:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/create-frontend-submission-form/
As for dark mode, you’re right, this isn’t currently built into the theme. However, there are several compatible third-party plugins you can use to implement this feature, and we’re keeping modern design trends like this in mind for future updates.
If you need help setting up any of the above or have specific requirements, feel free to reach out, we’d be happy to assist you along the way.
Thanks again for your valuable input!
Do you have a timeline of when new major updates will be released? I really like the Newspaper theme but we haven’t had modern updates and features for a while.
I will need help with implementing some features in the months to come, such as creating a pricing table payment, implementing a paywall for exclusive content, and front end guest and sponsored posts submission management and payment.
Then at some point I might need help with the redesign of the website to something more modern with modern features like dark mode. I won’t post competing themes on here out of courtesy but I do think there are newer themes that are better built and designed but that lack a lot of features that come included with Newspaper that I like. I will need these soon as we are growing quite a bit.

Hi my site eng is http://beyondtechnology.net/ and I use WMPL to translate the site to spanish (https://beyondtechnology.net/es/).
When I login i can see the footer in spanish perfectly, but when i tried as guest mode, in te spanish website I only see the footer in inglish, I disabled my cache plugin (litespeed) but this not solve the problem as suppose, so I think is not a caché theme.
Also in the builder spanish home page, i see the footer in spanish, also I verified the ‘global footer template’ in spanish and english, but are different versions, so i don’t know whats happing, please help 🙁
Expected behavoir:
Different footer for languange.
Current behaviour:
Same footer for both languages.
Hello. The problem appears after the update. The post view counter does not work for guests. It only works when I am logged in.
Hi,
I am setting up a news site (local env at the moment) and using the Molongui Authorship plugin to handle co-authors and guest authors. For guest authors, I am not creating a WordPress user.
On initial page load, the correct guest author names are displayed on the block. However, when I navigate to the next set of posts via AJAX pagination, the author displayed reverts to the actual post owner instead of the Molongui guest author.
Additionally, I have noticed the same issue when viewing the page inside tagDiv Composer.
I really do not want to create fake WordPress accounts for guest authors (I have tested this, and it works but is not ideal).
Any hints? Thank you.

Hello,
Please provide some screenshots with the version that you see when you are logged in and one when you are a guest.
Also, the link to your website.
Thank you!
After updating the latest Version: 12.6.9 , There is an issue that whenever someone submitting the guest post, the progress bar running continuously while the post received but at the frontend not showing confirmation, When I revert to Version: 12.6.8 then it is working fine. Please guide what to do and how to resolve this.
Hi,
That seems to be a code related to the rank math plugin. You need to add it in the theme functions file, or with a plugin like this one https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-headers-and-footers/
But before entering it I see you have to enter the IDs of your guest authors. Are they regular user accounts or guest author accounts added by a plugin?
Normally the IDs can be seen while editing the profile of the user, for example https://prnt.sc/qRJPDFO8No5Y -> https://prnt.sc/Qq-ogm_gdHwW The ID of that user is 2.
Once you replace the IDs in the code with yours https://prnt.sc/7-GZZrbQOawY then the code can be loaded on the website using the methods I mentioned.
Thank you!
Hello,
I hired a dev to help me upgrade the performances of my website and he found a bug in TD Composer.
The file td_util.php located /wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/common/wp_booster/td_util.php miss a line that create a bug : webp is only displayed if you are logged in, not for guests or google
static function browser_supports_webp() {
return true; // <==== THIS LINE IS MISSING
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT']) && strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'], 'image/webp') !== false) {

}
return false;
}
My site is https://byothe.fr
The background on my site doesn’t work. If I put a picture on the background, only logged-in users have it, but guests don’t.
I reset the cache, it didn’t help.
What could be the problem?
I have defined a custom post type for “Events”. Here we create several events per year.

I have a similar issue: the number of articles written by the author does not display correctly when using the “Author Box, Guest Author and Co-Authors for Your Posts – Molongui” plugin. What should I do? For example, here: https://ajovokezdete.hu/author/mulleribolya/
Hello,
We recommend Molongui to have guest authors https://www.molongui.com/wordpress-plugin-post-authors/guest-author/
Also, I saw that you said you have multi-site, so please let me know how you install the plugins on each website or the Network.
Thank you!
I have a problem with the plugin when I want to see posts by a guest author without an account.
I get an error when I want to display guest posts.
