We migrated from a regular WP theme to Newspaper theme, towards the end of 2020. Our developer has worked with Newspaper theme often and has never had a problem with similar setups on other sites.
In April 2021, we noticed all our theme settings (colours, logos, fonts, etc) were suddenly gone and the main plugins that run the site were uninstalled. Our homepage looked like a bunch of code (which was just tagDiv shortcode that wasn’t being rendered).
We reinstalled and activated the necessary plugins, but the theme settings were still missing. What’s more, the theme settings were very limited after this happened. We were no longer able to edit the header or footers the way we could before this happened. But even though the backend was different and we couldn’t get the site visually back to where it was before, the website looked presentable, so we left it as-is. Cut to June 2021, and it happened again. All the necessary plugins to run tagDiv were uninstalled and all our settings reset.
So now we’re concerned this will just keep happening. We checked the logs, and we get this error right before everything went wonky on the site:
H01071: Got error ‘PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class ‘tagdiv_theme_plugins_setup’ not found in /var/www/vhosts/domain.ca/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/functions.php:348\nStack trace:\n#0 /var/www/vhosts/domain.ca/httpdocs/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(292): {closure}()\n#1 /var/www/vhosts/domain.ca/httpdocs/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(316): WP_Hook->apply_filters()\n#2 /var/www/vhosts/domain.ca/httpdocs/wp-includes/plugin.php(484): WP_Hook->do_action()\n#3 /var/www/vhosts/domain.ca/httpdocs/wp-admin/includes/class-theme-upgrader.php(472): do_action()\n#4 /var/www/vhosts/domain.ca/httpdocs/deleteme.wpzipk.php(16): Theme_Upgrader->bulk_upgrade()\n#5 {main}\n thrown in /var/www/vhosts/domain.ca/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/functions.php on line 348′
In terms of plugin conflicts, we’ve been assured that the SAME plugins we have are running on sites that also have Newspaper theme without any issues. So we’re confident it’s not a plugin conflict. Our settings are as per the recommendations from tagDiv. Our host provider can’t see anything wrong on the server level.
What are your recommendations?
Hi
I created a mobile website with TagDiv Composer by selecting Mobile Page.
The desktop site has a different block layout to the mobile site.
The main page for desktops after the menu starts with Big Grid Full 3. Then two columns with Flex box 1
The mobile site starts with Flex block 1, then one more and one more.
The home page on desktops looks like this. With Big Grid Full block 3
https://tknews.pl/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Screenshot_20210628_222015_com.android.chrome.jpg
The mobile side looks like this – only Flex box blocks
https://tknews.pl/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Screenshot_20210628_222015_com.android.chrome.jpg
When I save the design of the mobile site, Big Grid Full 3 and part of the header disappear from the desktop site
https://tknews.pl/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/2.png
After that, when I load the stationary page and save it, it’s here again
content / uploads / 2021/06 / Screenshot_20210628_222015_com.android.chrome.jpg
The mobile website looks like this:
https://tknews.pl/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Screenshot_20210628_221946_com.android.chrome.jpg
The menu disappears, the word NEWSPAPER appears and instead of the Flex box 1 block, the Big Grid Full 3 block.
Therefore, I am asking for advice on how to make both sides independent of the blocks used
I ask for help
Thank you
Thanks,
Is there a way to just get the header and footer that colour and not the sides?
All the best
Thomas
Hello,
What type of prebuilt website did you install, pro or standard?
These changes apply for example only when you use the standard header/footer templates (and other standard templates) from Theme Panel (not a cloud template) => https://www.screencast.com/t/4gApdblBu8 -> https://www.screencast.com/t/m1vrJsvHM
You need to edit the page with tagDiv Composer to make changes, like in this is a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXQQygkCCJ
Also, please let me know what settings did not apply, and provide some screenshots with the settings.
Hope this helps you!
Thank you!
Hello,
If you follow the steps which are presented in this tutorial here: https://tagdiv.com/how-to-increase-page-loading-speed/ you’ll be able to increase the speed of your website.
Also, to increase the page speed you can check these similar topics for more solutions:
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/optimize-script-to-improve-site-speed/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/a-few-tips-for-newspaper-x-speed-high-cpu-usage-issues/
– https://tagdiv.com/how-to-increase-page-loading-speed/
– https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/v5/about
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/score-100100-pagespeed-with-newspaper-wordpress-theme/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/newspaper-theme-speedify-your-website/
Please give it a try and follow the steps which I presented above about page speed.
Also, check our guide from here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
To be able to optimize those elements is quite difficult, so to remove CLS please check these guide => https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/ -> https://www.sqlpac.com/en/documents/google-pagespeeds-lighthouse-6-new-features-lcp-cls.html -> https://web.dev/lighthouse-whats-new-6.0/
Please make sure to use our newest tool called tagDiv CSS Analyzer which comes in handy to resolve some of your issues. Take a look at the video guide here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnkVapqhIHc
“This custom tool performs an automatic test to find missing CSS rules applied by user interaction. Moreover, you can manually interact with a chosen section/component from the page while the tool records all the involved CSS. It will generate the final CSS file for this page and also will split the rules in Critical CSS to be loaded in the website’s header.” ( https://tagdiv.com/whats-new-in-the-newspaper-theme-10-4-update/ )
We tested our tool on our demos, and we have such great results!
Take a look at this topic because it could help you: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/css-analyzer-step-by-step-and-doubts/
Also, I checked your website with the chrome extension tool Lighthouse and for mobile https://www.screencast.com/t/iaLsAlJxQc seems you have something external which is not loading and for desktop, you have a very good score https://www.screencast.com/t/eMW8r7Hf
Unfortunately, the support cannot provide optimization solutions and therefore the page speed is not covered by the support team =>https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-support/
Let me know the results!
Thank you!
Hello,
If I understood correctly, you made a mobile page for the homepage, so please make sure you set it => https://www.screencast.com/t/bYroSq7x8T9, also, the header and footer are taken from the standard ones. All you have to do is edit the mobile page, and in Manager (Website Manager) you need to import or the easy way is to convert the existent header/footer like this => https://www.screencast.com/t/HrjOBNayd -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpGkOnJeNZY (03:11 – Mobile Templates & Pages)
If you don’t mean this please give me more details, screenshots.
Thank you!
Hello,
Please try to edit with tagDiv Composer => https://www.screencast.com/t/0Vy46Rp99xs, and try to stretch the row from Header => https://www.screencast.com/t/DmvjxTqyrAJ
Also, if you have set the background color, please remove it from Theme Panel -> Theme Colors and disable the option to make the background boxed => https://www.screencast.com/t/hf4S5s59
In the last update, v11, the implementation of the boxed option has been fixed, if you set a background image/colour this boxed option had applied only to content, now it also applies to the header and footer -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/background-introduction/
Thank you!
Hi, I have a problem with the background of the HEADER. Some pages are larger than other pages. I have attached pictures so you can see what exactly it is about.
Would appreciate help! I want everything to look the same as the first picture.

Hello,
Seems you set the header section in page content => https://www.screencast.com/t/dz5FeFew
-> https://i.imgur.com/381J9qm.jpg
-> https://i.imgur.com/wVGxYeg.jpg
-> https://i.imgur.com/0O3iGEg.jpg
Also, do you use any extra plugins? Please do a test using only tagDiv plugins on a staging website, because there is a possibility, to be a plugin conflict, also if you are using a cache plugin, deactivate it, clear all cache(also from your browser) and try again. See if the problem persists.
Thank you!
Hello,
If I understood correctly you want to have a different header template from all Blocks, right?
If so then you can set the Global Block Header Template from Theme Panel -> Block Settings => https://www.screencast.com/t/axjfZ1MGRvGa and let the setting from the block on “Global Header” => https://www.screencast.com/t/urEcQ4uRXthen will apply the setting from Theme Panel.
Thank you!
Hello,
Because you have installed a pro prebuilt website, it can only be edited with the tagDiv Composer. The header/footer templates are imported from the Cloud Library and can be modified with tagdiv Composer.
tagDiv Composer is a page and cloud builder, it can be used for pages and cloud templates.
If you want to use elements from Theme Panel, then you need to activate your tagDiv Standard Pack plugin and select “No template” =>https://www.screencast.com/t/1DHdVacPxL, and select what style do you want to use, but from the last update, this plugin is no longer required because the new demos are using cloud templates.
Theme panel elements are used for Standard Prebuilt Websites.
The settings made with tagDiv Composer are saved in the database.
1. If you want to continue with the header template from Cloud Library, then you need to edit the header with tagDiv Composer, like in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXQQygkCCJo
but if you want to use the header style from theme Panel, you need to add it in Header -> Logo and Favicon => https://www.screencast.com/t/KsoxbFGKiwL
2. To make the header full width, you need to remove the background color/image from Theme Panel => https://www.screencast.com/t/T5UG2dOo -> https://www.screencast.com/t/WZBA3fMl and disable the option “Background boxed layout” and after you can stretch the row after your needs -> https://i.imgur.com/WKYebPX.jpg -> https://i.imgur.com/TO1BZ3M.png -> https://i.imgur.com/Yq8UCv3.jpg for header template from Cloud Library, for header style will be applied the settings from Theme Panel => https://www.screencast.com/t/gzS8A5YHmoP
3. If you to create your own header template, you can import a blank template from Cloud Library and design it with tagDiv Composer => https://www.screencast.com/t/wjvT8DrEm
You can find more tutorials on our channel on youtube =>https://www.youtube.com/user/tagdiv which can help you to design.
Hope that help you!
Thank you!
Hello,
Did you install a Pro Prebuilt Website or a standard Prebuilt Website?
Is possible to be from the firewall or security module which blocks the admin-ajax.php request. Please verify the console for error while trying to upload the logo in the Theme Panel, usually, it displays a 403 or 404 error.
If you don’t use a security plugin, please ask your host about this, maybe you have a security module that blocks this.
If you use a plugin like Wordfence please set it in learning mode.
Also, if you are using Cloudflare, please make sure that is set as in our guide https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/, you need to disable the Rocket Loader.
Also, make sure that you do not have a plugin conflict, please deactivate ALL plugins except tagDiv plugins, also if you are using a child theme or cache plugin, deactivate them, clear all cache and try again.
Also, if you have a standard Prebuilt Website you need to add the logo in Theme Panel -> Header -> Logo and Favicon, but if you have a Pro Prebuilt Website then you need to add the logo with tagDiv Composer like in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXQQygkCCJo
Hope this helps you!
Thank you!
Hello,
Please let me know what header and footer template what do you use.
Normally, the header template has the height and width set on the logo.
Also, please send the link to your website.
Also, you can try to delete and add the logo.
Thank you!
Hi,
I am having trouble with Mobile Pages after trying to update my theme from a older version. I have used the new custom header and footer functions and got them working successfully across the site on desktop. I have worked out how to create a mobile template to apply to all Category Pages, Posts and the Homepage. But I can’t work out how to apply a template to all other pages on mobile. Our site has six or seven existing Pages that we use. The new custom headers appear on the pages on desktop but don’t appear on mobile (I get an unedited version of the cloud template I imported).
The only way I can see to fix this is if I design all the pages individually with Tag Div and then import the content to separate mobile templates. As our pages were not designed with the Tag Div plugin the content won’t easily copy over so that will be a laborious process. Is there any easier way I can apply the new mobile header and footer to existing pages when on mobile without going through all this?
The testing site I have set up is at solidarity.asn.au
Hi sorry I’m not sure that’s answered my question – I need help fixing my header. The question of whether there was an update wasn’t the main problem. Is asking my host the only way to fix my header? I don’t want to revert my whole website I just want the header to fill up the page again rather than being cut off and squashed.
Hello. I am currently working on migrating my site to Newspaper 11. It has been shown that this requires some changes to my templates. For example, headers and footers are stored under “Cloud Templates” and the individual sub-pages under “Pages”.
What’s the safest way to broadcast this change to the live page?
Can I simply copy the number / letter code from the changed cloud templates into the existing cloud templates on the Livepage?
Is there a better way to bring all chagend Templates into the Live-Site?
In HispanicLA.com I noticed that the pages appear without header, without menus and without sidebars. Instead, the content takes all the width. I ignore the reason. So I started to edit one of the pages with tagdiv Composer. Added header and menus. Saved. But eve though now the header and menus appear, but the content of the page dissappeared!
Example:
https://hispanicla.com/esto-es-hispanicla
I tried again with another page. Same problem. I retrace my steps, eliminating the header and menus I have added before. No solution:
https://hispanicla.com/desde-los-angeles-3
The other pages still show the content, without header or menus or sidebars.
I want to add the “pages” menu also to the posts, but I am afraid it will cause the same problem.
Please help, thank you.
I have both the old version 10 and new version 11 on a new site we need to complete a mock-up for a client pronto.
The new site is at dumbhost.us and We need the old style category template 8 applied to the new site’s categories.
Here is a link to an example of the categories: https://dumbhost.us/category/apparel/
NOTE that I had to change the HEADER BACKGROUND to clear just to get myself into the neighborhood of the effect. I need the effect to begin BELOW the header and not be part of the header. See the old version in my other existing site below.
Old site example: https://dangermanslair.com/category/how-to-play-paintball/dangerman-paintball-articles/
Effect of course is the background is static (which is not the issue), while an open area between the HEADER and CONTENT area displays a gap allowing the background image to be seen in its primary mid-section until the page is scrolled.
The new version of Newspaper has been a learning curve that I can’t seem to find how to rebuild that section OR find a modular section in the templates. I need the effect of Category Template 8 in the old style PLEASE.
I’ve purchased THREE licenses of this theme, and after spending three hours today, I’m at the point I want to move away from the theme if this is going to be this much trouble to work with in the future. I’m attempting to understand the changes, but there is NO tutorials or instruction that I can locate.
For now, I need this ONE fix, please.
NOTE the new license asked me to create a new user account. I couldn’t use my old tag-div account ID. So that new account user name is JOEHUMMEL.

Thank you Anamaria, that was tremendously helpful.
For the header code, I wanted to follow your instructions and place it in the Theme Panel Analytics/JS section, but we already have a MailChimp header code running. Is it possible to include multiple Header codes in the section? If so, how do I properly format that?
Best,
Ari
Hi, just updated to version 11 and site looks to be returned to the default configuration, nothing works… all the post has been misconfigured and all are in blank when opened.
Previously I fixed the post by selecting a style at “Default post templates”, but after the update I do not have these styles anymore, just have 2 : default and Custom (PRO) …
How can I have these styles back ?? …
On the other hand, even if I upload a picture (it was already there before I updated) for the header, it does not appear …
my site : https://thewotme.com, where you can see that if you clic on any post from the main page, pages or post are blank.
Thanks
Hello there,
I am able to edit for header using TagDiv Composer but tagdiv composer for footer is not working. So I can’t remove the logo.
I can edit the header as it appears here. But I can’t do it in the footer.
https://www.screencast.com/t/n2vdXzLk
Thank you.
Hello,
MY header template does look like your screenshot https://www.screencast.com/t/mEIWz84hoI
I would like to know how I can change the default to a different Header instead of Block Header 1?
Hello,
I’ve just started using Newspaper. I used the Magazine Pro demo.
1. I uploaded my logo from the Theme Panel and it doesn’t show up. Further reading shows that I need to also upload my logo from the TagDiv Composer. Is this the way I have to do it every time? What’s the point of the Theme Panel if I’m going to have to play around in the Composer? Shouldn’t everything be controlled in the Theme Panel?
2. I want a full width header. No matter what I try in the Theme Panel it doesn’t work. Again, do I have to use the Composer to try and figure it out?
3. I’m I required to create my own header in order for it to work with the Theme Panel and not use the demo one?
Thanks for your help.
Hello,
I tried what you said and it is still not working. I also add a retina logo because I saw in another post that it could solve the issue. Actually, now I have an explicit width on the header logo but no explicit height… The footer logo has nothing explicit (width and height).
I also updated to newspaper theme revision 11 and the issue remain.
This is becoming a major issue according to core vital webs update.
What can I do?
Thanks
To edit the logo, select the Header logo and in the tab called “General” is a section for text where you can delete the text => https://www.screencast.com/t/GszS6gleinb and in the tab called “CSS” you can remove the background color and color overly => https://www.screencast.com/t/oNlfksQjwI and after you can add an image on the logo in the tab called “General”=> https://i.imgur.com/QgQVQg5.png also, please set the Image width https://www.screencast.com/t/jq1E0pIj
Hope this helps you!
Thank you!
