what is the best way to re-update the theme? Delete it and re-install?
Hi,
according to the Visual Composer tutorial (https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/) there should be some predefined layouts.
When you create a New Page you can easily select one of the predefined layouts depending on your needs.
But all of the mentioned “homepage” templates is missing. There is a lot of other templates there, but not the homepages ones. Is it something ive done wrong? There is “about” templates, “articles” templates but no homepage or homepage – sport template etc.
Ive tried uninstalling and installing both theme and Visual Composer without any change.
Hi
I am not able to see predefined layouts in visual composer. all the installation are latest. \
word press version 7.3
PHP version 5.4
MSSQL 2012
Visual composer version 4.12 ( bundled with the theme that i had purchased )
Please help
HI
Please make sure that you installed the theme and Visual Composer plugin according with our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ also try to deactivate all other plugin, clear all caches, purge cdn files if you’re using then test again.
Let us know how it goes and if the problem persist please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your login credentials and we will inspect this issue as soon as possible, also include a link to this topic.
Thanks!
I installed this theme on my website, SportsRants.com, when I did so it did a number of strange things forcing me to revert back to my prior theme:
– Would not allow me to Edit Posts OR Pages (It simply went to a blank page)
– Did Not Display any content on the home page (I could not find where to even set this up)
– All my existing content had no featured image set, however when I reverted to my prior theme it showed the previously set featured image.
I installed the theme and installed the ‘Magazine Demo’. From there it simply created issues. I do like the layout and with my other theme being limited I thought this was the best route to go. I just cannot wrap my head around the issues I am experiencing.
Would it matter that I have Buddypress deactivated at the moment? I’m not sure how to resolve the issue and how to setup the homepage
Dear Support Team,
we are using the Theme on a main installation and 2 subdomains.
Everything was running fine until this morning. There were NO updates of plugins or the theme! It just appeared the internal server error on all 3 installations (same server).
If the maintenance mode switched on, everything works fine. Another theme works fine too as well as the Tag Div mobile theme.
What we already did:
Checking for Corrupt .htaccess File –> NOPE
Increasing the PHP Memory Limit –> Should be fine
Deactivate all Plugins –> Doesn’t help
Re-uploading Core Files –> Wp-inclues and wp-admin –> Doesn’t work
Contact Provider –> Said the theme must be the problem
Reinstalling the theme –> Doesn’t help
Switched the theme and everything was running fine!
We are slowly desperating about this issue.
Domain: hubsociety.co –> in maintenance / thai.hubsociety.co –> live (docents work only mobile running fine) / ph.hubsociety.co –> in maintenance
We are looking forward to hear from you soon!
Best,
Armin

Hello,
I just installed Newspaper 7.3 after switching from another theme.
Very impressed with all the settings.
But it seems that as soon as I activate the theme the default WordPress Portfolio is removed from the menu.
Is this default behaviour?
Hello poppeto,
The theme is still 7.3 but the fix was implemented after 7.3 was released. Please download the theme again, delete your current theme and install the freshly downloaded one. The version is the same but the fix will be present.
As an alternative, here is the fix needed:
Add this code in the mobile theme’s function.php:
td_global::$td_options = get_option(TD_THEME_OPTIONS_NAME); //read the theme settings once
It should look like so: http://screencast.com/t/ke18K42lG
Thank you!
Hello Piyush Bandi,
Please notice that your version of Visual Composer is outdated. First of all, please download the latest version of the Envato Market using your account and then install the theme via FTP because this is the surest method in this regard, according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/ Then, you will have to remove the old version of the Visual Composer and install the version which comes bundled with the latest version of the theme (->Newspaper 7.3 with Visual Composer 4.12 and Social Counter 4.1), clear all your caches and check the results. For more information about how you can update your Visual Composer, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Please notice that you will have to keep the step with each updating of the theme.
Hope this helps!
Thanks.
Hello MESOTU,
Please ensure that this type of issue does not come from your untested plugins used by you. Try to disable all of them and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme, clear all your caches and check the results. Please notice that the Revolution Slider is fully tested with our theme and seems to work as properly.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello ttalleur,
Please try to update the theme to the latest version of it (Newspaper 7.3) and also, please ensure that you have fully installed all the required plugins to the latest version of them (Visual Composer 4.12 and Social Counter 4.1), clear all your caches and test it again. Also, if your problem is still there after this advice, please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins. Notice that the theme update should be made via FTP because this is the surest method in this regard. For more references in this regard, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!

I have installed fresh wordpress 4.5.3, and installed newspaper theme, now i had activated WPBakery Visual Composer.the WPBakery Visual Composer version is 4.3.4 which is bundled with newspaper theme. while adding new page via visual composer using backend editor the preview of layout shows but it in grey color and i cannot select the layout for my page. Also if i wish to add some element it is not adding element . PLease help me .
Hi
You don’t need a license key for none of the plugins included in theme’s path. They come bundled with the theme and are licensed under theme’s license. Also you don’t need to deactivate the license from your live site. The theme can be activated on many test domains and your local WordPress install can be considered a test domain.
This error seems to be related with one of your installed plugins: http://screencast.com/t/dA6AyWVLcxjN Try to login on the server via ftp, navigate in /home/jairoarosemena/public_html/wp-content/ and rename plugins folder then try to access the wp-admin again.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hi,
I buyed a theme for wordpress named newsmag, and I installed in my hosting account http://www.ongood.news, but this account has a issuse with php scripts and generated mistakes in functionally. In order to I installed newlly the theme in my localhost but when I go to activate the purchase code for revolution slider appear a message about this license was installed, and could be to deactivate license in another site. The big problem is that access at wordpress back-end in web site now is not possible ( can you check this, http://www.ongood.news/wp-admin).
My request is: Can you deactivate license of this site and I can activate in my local host wordpress install?
Thank you so much for your help and beste regards
Inca o intrebare : incerc sa modific td_category_template_7.php, vreau sa adaug un bloc prin do_shortcode (dupa sfatul tau). Problema este ca blocul se afiseaza inainte de lista de posturi, si nu dupa ele, cum as dori.
<h1 itemprop="name" class="entry-title td-page-title"><?php echo parent::get_title(); ?></h1>
<?php echo parent::get_description(); ?>
</div>
<div class="td-pulldown-container"><?php echo parent::get_pull_down(); ?></div>
</div>
</div>
<?php echo do_shortcode('[vc_row][vc_column][td_block_big_grid_5_go td_grid_style="td-grid-style-5" installed_post_types="page"][td_block_big_grid_4 installed_post_types="page"][/vc_column][/vc_row]'); ?>

If I will delete the theme, and install it again, my settings and materials wont be lost?

Hello,
Please make sure the plugin is installed and active. Also please check the plugin settings and make sure the plugin is active for pages: http://screencast.com/t/b7Y1Y9jijC7
Let us know if you still have trouble with it.
Thank you!
Hello wolvering,
I have checked your website and your source page and I saw that you are using a lot of untested plugins which might interact with the code of the theme and cause a lot of unknown issues. First of all, please try to disable the lazy load from Theme panel and check the results. Also, if your problem is still there, please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello zcarmichael,
Please notice that each demo has own design style and if you want to use the News Magazine style, you will have to install this demo without content and then you can create all your own content or you can install the demo with the content and then edit this with your content but please notice that this last way is not fully recommended because in the future, you will want to change this layout and you disable this demo, you will loose all the data and while if you create your own content (not editing the existing one), all of this will have loaded in the database.
Thanks for your understanding!
