Okay, as per the request, here are complete steps: (assuming you have set up nameservers for your domain correctly pointing to cloudfare domains)
This guide is for GoDaddy though, similar may be available, i don’t have experience over other hostings.
1. Under Crypto tab of Cloudfare, create an Origin Certificate. Select RSA as private key and don’t forget to add wildcards (subdomain). Hostnames should include yourdomain.com and *.yourdomain.com .
2. Get the private key and certificate. Keep the tab open or save it to some text files.
3. In your hosting cPanel, head to SSl/TLS section.
4. Enter the private key and add the one generated by Cloudfare Origin Certificate (Step 2)
5. Repeat for Certificate.
6. For the CA Bundle, you will have to copy it from here- Cloudfare Root Certificate
7. Validate the SSl through Install and Manage SSL Certificates.
8. Head to Crypto section of Cloudfare and activate Full(strict) under SSL (very top of crypto).
That’s all steps needed for setting up free Cloudfare SSL https Certificate.
Apart from that, you might also need to set up redirection from http to https using .htaccess code. For that, do following:
> Head to root directory and edit .htaccess file. Add this code just after RewriteEngine On–
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Final step i would recommend is to setup search engines- Google, Bing and Yandex to use https also. You can submit them separately on them.
Apart from that, very last trick, most people tend to submit their sitemap to search engines and wait for them to process their website pages. I would recommend you edit the pages first, add SEO to them, and when you are done (yes, completely satisfied with everthing including on-page optimization as well as interlinking), simply force the search engines to re-crawl your pages.
Following is a short guide to force re-index pages-
1. Google- Head to search console and use fetch and render tool.
2. Bing- Don’t use fetch as bot, rather use this link and submit your pages.
3. Yandex- You can use re-index important pages.
Hope this helps. 🙂
Hi,
Then the regeneration tool is not working properly, it does not create the required thumbnails as it should. If you say that your old posts do have a featured image set the regenerating guide provided above should work accordingly. I cannot see a featured image in the posts in question, maybe you have disabled them in the theme panel.
You could try a fresh theme install and then while having only Visual composer active and try regenerating the thumbnails using the guide from above, to see if they are created as they should be.
Thanks
Hi,
I did a fresh install of the version 8.0 theme by following your documentations and now the pagination part of the blocks are not working it returns klgadgetguy.com/#. The background still does not have a link even when i have done the way you have told me to do. I am sorry to rush you on this but its taking too long to solve this issues as you guys are taking too long to reply, and now there is a new issue which is the pagination. I need a solution ASAP as this is damaging to my website in terms of the happiness of my client. Please reply me..
Thanks
Hi,
I have inspected your website but it does not seem that there is a background image set at the moment – https://www.screencast.com/t/iCr5No1B
Try to set your background in the theme panel, then clear any caching installed and see if the image displays properly.
Thanks
@aronfly Yes, that’s the point. For those who have custom code, it’s impossible to get a clean update whit out errors 😛
But For those who have a clean installation will be easy if do the step lis 😛
Hi!
I bought it and installed by FTP now, but I got a message about unstable status in theme tab in Admin page.
The message is that ‘do not have template index.php for theme and for child theme need template header in style.css.
Newspaper 템플릿이 없습니다. 단독 테마는 index.php 템플릿 파일이 있어야 합니다. 자식테마는 style.css 스타일시트에 템플릿 헤더가 있어야 합니다.
Above is the message in korean.
Thanks,
Scott
Hi
We’re using your template with great success, but we need a little help. Our url is http://www.bttlobo.com
Our front page is static, and we’re using the template’s right ad blocks (5 at total) only for the front page.
On the categories pages and other pages , we’re using the widgets for the right ad blocks (also 5 at total).
The problem is that we have the Ad Injection plugin installed to rotate ads in the last right ad block (bottom), and it only works as a widget.
So we would like to ask you if there’s any way we can add it as a widget to the front page right ad block?
Thanks
The trouble disappeared. So, when theme panel version was changed to 7.8.1.
Newspaper – Theme panel version: 8.0

Newspaper – Theme panel version: 7.8.1
http://www.fighters-spirits.com/magazine/archives/3051
*Plugin, wordpress version is the latest version.
Other plugins
TagDiv Social Counter
Revolution Slider
TagDiv Mobile Theme
In order to upgrade these also, should I install the plugin as a zip file after aninstalling it?
Catalin, it sounds like you’re no longer going to support VC with the Newspaper theme. Is that right? Or could I go on using version 8, which I just installed, with VC if I want? No offense, I’m sure the Tagdiv Composer is great, but at this moment I’d rather stick with what I know. Then I could take time later to learn TC and reformat things.
Hello everyone
I notice after this update a lot of users are in troubles and i think its necesary to explaint what to do in one unique post.
Every time tagdiv launch a big update, 1 to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4, 4 to 5, 5 to 6, 6 to 7, etc. everybody experiences a lot of issues because are a lot of differente code in the theme and everybody has different configurations and setups on your sites. Its impossible to made this kind of update just whit one clic.
In my experience this is the correct way to Update to Newspaper 8 in 7 Steps
1) Download the theme
2) deactivate every plugins
3) upload the theme via FTP and overwrite. Or set default wordpress theme, delete newspaper 7 and upload the new update.
4) activate the theme.
5) Go to theme panel and clic on install demos, now select your prefer demo and uncheck “include content”, then clic on install button. This will overwrite all settings and set the demo style on your site.
6) YES, you need to configure again your site whit your logo and preferences.
7) activate plugins one by one and check if some plugin produces some problem.
Thats all. You will have not problems ussing this mettod and just take 10 or less minuts

Hello anachakmobile,
Try to re-download again the latest theme version and you should make a new FTP install. Clear all the caches and check the results. Should work.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
If your page is created in Visual composer you should continue to use that editor only for the page. Please do not mix the editors together on the same page, it could provide unexpected results. However you should consider recreating your page with the new page editor, it would be more future proof.
Try downloading the theme package again and install the theme
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Then activate the theme. It should work properly now.
Thanks
Hi,
Please download the theme package again, and install the theme
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
The try to activate it again. It should work properly.
Thanks
Hi,
Please try to disable all your plugins except the ones provided with the theme, clear any caching installed and CDN files as well. Then update the theme again using this method
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Now check to see if you can access the posts properly.
Thanks
I just want to let you know that we have fixed manual activation. Please download the theme again from themeforest and reinstall it.
Thanks and sorry for inconvenience!
Hi,
Try removing the news ticker form the page, then add it again and make no other modification to it, remove any custom code you might have regarding it. Then clear any caching installed. This element should not display like that, with that empty space. This is how it should look
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
Thanks
Like i said, setup Cloudfare with WP Super Cache. You can use this link- https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/.
I also note it is now possible to install a demo without the content!
Hooray!
Hi,
I have 2 problems:
1) I can’t activate the theme, it gives me this error:
” Envato API is down, please try again later or use the manual registration”
2) I can’t install the Default Demo, it gives me this error:
“tagDiv importer detected an error. The importer will try to recover and continue to install the demo after you click ok on this dialog.
Steps to troubleshoot:
– Check the permissions on your upload folder
– Please make sure that WP_DEBUG is set to false in wp-config.php
– Contact our support via email contact@tagdiv.com (please provide your product license key)”
Can you please help me??
I can provide you the wp-admin user/password and FTP if you need, where can I send it in private??
Please help, thanks.
Hello sophiecheng,
Please contact your host and make sure that PHP multibyte module is installed and activated – http://php.net/manual/en/mbstring.installation.php I have checked the playlist on my side and everything seems to work as expected.
Let us know how it goes!
Thanks!
Hello josinc,
After checking the path, it does not seems to be caused by our theme, sorry! It seems to be a problem caused by your WP Install. I suggest you making a new clean install from scratch via FTP because this is the surest method in this regard, clear all the caches and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
Uninstalling/re-installing theme will mess my blog setup! Will await word from support.
Hi,
After inspecting the website, at the moment it seems to be loading very fast
– https://www.screencast.com/t/CfUTKlls3ct6
The homepage, post page and category pages seem to load properly. Please follow the suggestions mentioned in the speed optimization guide to further improve loading speed. Also install the recommended caching plugin with the specified configuration. After you take these steps there should be a noticeable improvement.
Thanks
