Hello indebuurt,
Please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer and Seo Yost plugin to active, clear all your caches, purge CDN files if you are using the CDN system and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
I installed Tech News when I go over to the pages and edit the News Page I get the code in the visual tab. How can I visual edit this?
Hi Bogdan,
could you explain what is the purpose of the files included in that folder (Newspaper-tf/patch_7.1.1_7.2) please ?
because they are php files (have to be on server to be used) but they are not included in the installation folder.
thanks for your answer
Seb
Oh, by the way … a little detail,
I also tried to reinstall the Visual Compose plugin. My WordPress control panel says it is installed, but I get a message in the Visual Composer settings that I somehow still need to activate it. I thought it came with the Newspaper theme?
Thanks
Bob
Hi,
Sorry to be such a bother — but none of that works. I just spent 2 hours downloading a new FTP app, going directly into the wpress directory and actually manually deleting the old Newspaper directory because whatever I did kept giving me the same 404 error. Then I went back in and checked the date on the Newspaper folder in public_html/rawfoodlife.com/wpress/wp-content/themes and checked the date on the folder and finally after a few tries it’s now got today’s date. HOWEVER, I was NO able to do Step 4 – Activate the newly installed theme by going to Appearance Themes and clicking the Activate button. After deleting the entire Newspaper fold, reinstalling from scratch and all that, I could not do this step because when I come back to WordPress after all this the theme is already activated. I am guessing that it has something to do with the database and reinstalling the theme has absolutely no effect on that, so when I reinstall it just goes to the database and gives me back the corrupted data. I need to know how to delete the theme entirely, all the way down to the database if necessary, so I can reinstall it from scratch and have it actually work! I am just hoping I do not have to entirely delete WordPress and the database in order ot reinstall it. It is incredibly horrible that Newspaper can be so corrupted somehow that it makes someone have to uninstall their entire WordPress and start over from scratch! Can you imagine?
Sadly, so far anything I have tried including all your suggested have made absolutely no difference at all and I still get the same 404 error. If you go back to my wpress you will see it since I left it like that as I have no idea what to do next.
Regards
Bob Ross
Ah thank you. I just realized I wasn’t finding it because I chose “worpress install files only” on ThemeForest so I was not getting the file in the archive…
HI
Revolution Slider plugin can be found in Newspaer-tf/plugins/revolution_slider_5 folder: http://screencast.com/t/ruORXE2wgATv The indicated archive must be uploaded in your wordpress and the plugin should be installed fine.
Thanks!
Hi
I’ve checked your site and now it works fine: http://screencast.com/t/0q77yiI4
Our theme is tested and works fine with WP Super Cache flowing this configuration: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/ also you shoud configure your cdn according with our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
You don’t need to turn off cache but after the theme is updated to a newer version the caches must be emptied and also cdn purged otherwise some of old files will be served instead of new ones and conflicts may appear.
Thanks!
Hello,
Reinstalling the theme is very easy. Deactivate the theme from the wordpress themes section and then simply access your files via ftp and delete the theme from your wp-content/themes folder and then install it again by using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Then re-activate the theme. You can use this occasion to update your theme if you do not have version 7.2 yet. (you can download the latest version from envato)
Let us knwo if you still have trouble with this.
Thank you!
Hi,
I just installed the theme and wanted to install revolution slider but could not find it. I did find your tutorial. It suggest uploading it from local folder “Newspaper-tf\plugins\revolution_slider_5” but as you also write it is not included so how can I have those folders?
Thank you,

Hello,
Are you installing the demo content as well? or just he demo style without content?
A demo usually just applies the style if demo content is not selected. You will have to create your own layout. please edit the page you get and add content to it or install the demo content if you have not already.
If you still have trouble with this, please specify which blog demo you use as here is not a single blog demo (http://screencast.com/t/7K0Kjoi6ie) and please provide a link to your site so we can inspect it.
Thank you!
Hi,
Here is what I wrote above:
If you do not have version 4.1, then please update your social counter plugin by disabling and deleting files for your current version and install the one that comes bundled with the latest version of the theme.
The latest version of the social counter is bundled with the latest version of the theme. Please download the theme from envato and you can install the social counter from the archive you download.
Thank you!
Hi,
Well, last week I did all that you suggested in your last email and the theme is even more broken…not working properly. Most pages show a 404 error in big and bold type on top. Most theme elements are missing. The theme config page looks normal. I set all the parameters I could, though a couple wouldn’t “take.” I disabled all caches and site wasn’t working so I turned them all back on.
I tried to install the Newspaper Health & Fitness Demo but that crashed and came up with a long message:
“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)”
I ignored the message and clicked OK…did that 3 or 4 times, and the Health & Fitness demo fully installed and seemed to be working — but of course there was a broken theme still there in the background, as I found out when I uninstalled the Demo and got the same 404 errors and missing content. I am afraid to use the demo at all now with a broken main theme behind it.
I tried, just to test further, switching between the demo themes that came with WordPress and Newspaper, but that didn’t help. Most of those themes now all have the same 404 error. I can find no way to completely uninstall then reinstall the original Newspaper theme so I can just start over from scratch without the Newspaper theme inheriting all the broken elements of my already-installed and damaged theme. I just need to start over. Please advise me if you can how to completely remove all the theme elements and reinstall Newspaper from scratch. I hope I do not have to reinstall WordPress, too!!!
I really, really appreciate all your help,
Regards,
Robert Ross
I’m trying to install the Blog template for Newspaper, and all it gives me is a big block with a weird quote in it. Am I doing something wrong, or is the Blog template just not working?
Hi,
I’m not sure what happened as we have no reports of this. Maybe the update process did not go as planned or there was a plugin installed for image optimization that conflicted when updating. It’s hard to say for sure. Good thing you figured it out though and fixed the issue.
Let us know if you have further problems with your images.
Thank you!
Hi
Try to use gzip compression to reduce the transfer time and file’s size; https://gtmetrix.com/enable-gzip-compression.html
Also please make sure that your server meets the requirements indicated in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-requirements-for-newsmag/ and also check if the parameters from system status have the values indicated in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ you can also optimize the site following our page-speed guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ Consider using a cache plugin and a cdn service for a better response time: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/ https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/ and to optimze the queries made to database take a look at mysql query cache: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/query-cache.html
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
Hello
We do not see that in our toolbar. Is there something we have to do to activate that in the toolbar. We have the latest version of NewsPaper installed and the latest version of Visual Composer. Here is a screen shot.

HI
It could be due to a conflict between the theme and some of your installed plugins. Please make sure that you’re using V 7.2 of Newspaper theme and check if Visual Composer is updated at V 4.12 which is included in theme’s path available on themeforest. Also try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches, purge cdn files if you’re using then test again.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks!
@all
Hi,
You will have to make sure you use version 4.1 of the plugin. Check your plugins section: http://screencast.com/t/AeyJgjwyCq
If you do not have version 4.1, then please update your sociual counter plugin by disabling and deleting files for your current version and install the one that comes bundled with the latest version of the theme.
Then please follow this guide carefully: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial/
After you set it up, please clear your cache and reset cdn files if you use it as the counter is affected by cache.
If you still have trouble with the facebook counter, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can login and investigate.
Thank you!

Hey guys,
We installed Newspaper along with a directorty plugin and the content is hidden.
The page with the issue: http://www.thelovebook.be/nl/registration/
The same plugin with an other theme with the content not being hidden: http://www.thelovebook.be/registration/
Feedback from plugin developer: “The signup form is hiding by a theme wrapper div.”
This is the plugin: https://codecanyon.net/item/directory-pro/12488012
Could you please help us get the content showing?
Thanks for checking, Pablo
Hi
Note that the Speed Booster plugin disable itself when an incompatible plugin it’s installed. We added this measure to avoid conflicts with the plugins that won’t allow to move their CSS/js resources at page bottom. To keep it always activated comment or delete the indicated lines from td-speed-booster.php: http://screencast.com/t/RZLIOPUNdqh You can check this topic for more information about speed booster usage: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/speed-booster-questions/
Do the indicated modifications to keep Speed Booster always active then test the site again with your pup up plugin and check how it goes.
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hi
I am not sure why this happens but I assume that there is a conflict between new version of Visual Composer and other installed plugin.
Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches then test the page again.
Let us know how it goes and if the problem persist please adress us via email at contact@tagdiv.com including a link to this conversation and also give us wp-access so we can have a closer look at this and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Thanks!
Hi,
We have no reports of such an issue. Please remove the modification made and delete the theme files altogether. Then create a back-up of your wordpress install and make a fresh install of wp. Then use this method to install the theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
The file path should not get changed as our theme will not look for files outside of the newspaper folder.
Let us know if you still have this problem.
Thank you!
Hi Chris,
If you want to use a multi-site, you will have to create separate wp installs and separate installs of the theme. You cannot use one install of the theme on both sub-domains.
Please use this guide: https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/ultimate-guide-multisite/?tchv=b&utm_expid=3606929-72.AqocGS0YR5Gn_p3r6t6_AA.1&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.ro%2F
Thank you!
