Hi Mystudent,
I just take a look to your website and you must delete and re-install new version of the social counter plugin.
Hi,
I can’t seem to figure out how to implement the Big grids found in the Newspaper template.
I want to use them on the front page of my website.
When I go to my wp-admin – and click on visual composer -> grid builder -> I have no templates.
If I click add new, it take me to a blank page to add templates.
I was under the impression there were supposed to be big grid templates included with the Newspaper theme, as illustrated here: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/
Am I missing something? Is something missing from my installation?

Thank you so much for the help
Best way to install Visual Composer is via FTP, but make sure to delete existing jscomposer folder first, make sure all your other plugins are off; make sure if you’re running anything like Wordfence you have patched it to work with WP 4.5.2, etc.
VC does work – on huge number of websites and huge number of themes. But, it can be pokey to get it installed.
Theme docs outline how to install and update, which is best place to start.
You do need to activate it from the plugins panel in WP, but you don’t need to activate a license for it if the ‘nag’ screen appears.
Not sure that helps. But it *does* work, just a little tricky. Not fault of theme, but the way VC works, oddly enough.
This also happened to me. If you have any firewall plugin installed, as wordfence, deactivated during the changes and once you completed activate again.
If you have Wordfence plugin just go to Firewall >> Firewall Status >> change to Learning Mode and Save.
Sorry for the bad english.
Hope this helps you.
Yes, I tried yesterday. Unfortunately speed booster is disabled due to a plugin. But this plugin is very important on my website and it is impossible to uninstall it. There is another way to activate the speed booster? Manually!
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
I installed BuddyPress which is main feature of my site and can’t manage/find in theme settings how to link Single post Author box BIO and “Social icons” to BuddyPress profile.
– with or without BP Should users still go to WP back end to complete Social information ? YES/NO
– User’s “Biographical info” completed in WP backend appears on Single post Author Box. When BP is activated, the bio info completed in BP doesn’t appear in author box, still only WP fields appear.
As a temporar solution for those 2 issues I can just deactivate Author box in posts. But still the author icon in posts meta will lead to WP author page, I need to BP.
Since the theme is BuddyPress compatible, could you at least inform what to add/modify in codes that Author icon,once BuddyPress is activated, leads to BP profile ? Perfectly will be WP user Social and Bio info synced and completable by users in BP. Thank you in advance. Mini.

Hi, I have the same problem with the images on my site (http://www.bouger-voyager.com/). I have just installed the last version of the theme 2.3.7 with the last version of the Visual Composer plugin but the problem is always there and the images don’t appear. Can you help me please ?
Thank you! This did solve the problem. That code must have been part of a demo I installed. I really appreciate the help!
Hello vipcomm,
Please notice that our theme was fully tested in this regard before to be released and you should not have these type of errors. As you can see, the problems appear on your side and probably is caused by your settings.
So, first of all, please try to do a full backup to your data, according to this documentation here -> https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups to rule out the way can loose all your data from your database and then try to do a fresh install only VIA FTP -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ because this is the surest method in this case. In the next step, you will have to disable ALL your plugins and leave just Visual Composer to active -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ (for Newspaper 7 -> Visual Composer 4.11.2), clear all your caches, purge all CDN files if you are using CDN and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins and if you are using the Child theme, please try to switch to the main theme. So, please try to bring the website to the default settings to rule out all the potential errors which could appear when you customize your side.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello volleyumbria,
Some WordPress plugins also add cache functionality to your website. This helps your blog/site load faster because WordPress can retrieve the pages of your blog/site from the cache instead of generating them all over again.
All good cache plugins will clear the cache when a post, page, or comment is published. However, if you make other changes (e.g. to your theme), the cache may not be cleared and the old version may still appear. In this case, check the plugin’s instructions to find out how to clear its cache.
Note that WordPress does not come with a cache by default, so the above would only apply if you installed a cache plugin yourself.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi,
You can update your social counter plugin as there were several styles added to it and the old version will not work anymore with newspaper 7. Please disable and delete the plugin files from the plugins section and then install it again from here: http://screencast.com/t/Zfv3tFwkyQe
Thank you!
Problem still exists. Tried fresh installation, reset everything @ database and still problem exists. When i change theme to wordpress default theme all works fine.
Hello firethreedesigns,
Please try to disable all the plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all caches, purge CDN files and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins. It could be a plugin issue that causes this.
If you need more assistance in this regard because your problem is still there, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so we can further inspect the problem. Also, please provide the link of this topic so we can know who you are and what the issue is.
Thanks.
Hi,
We have a plugins section in the theme panel, so if a plugin is updated it will be bundled with the theme and it can be installed from here: http://screencast.com/t/6TzYrQeNE3. You just need to disable and delete your current version of the plugin and then install it again from the panel.
Thank you!
Hello ddvnn,
Until now, we do not have any bad reports in this regard. Do you have some custom modifications in this regard which affect this thing and you are not aware of them? Please provide your website URL so I can further inspect it closer and also, so I will be able to provide a more accurate response. First of all, please ensure that this problem does not come from your untested plugins which might interact with the theme and create a lot of unknown issues. Try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active (v. 4.11.2), clear all your caches, purge CDN files if you are using CDN 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.
Hi,
Every thing is ok now after I followed these instructions https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
However, the plugin now asks for a key. The plugin functionality is now full fledged, unlike the one that comes with the theme by default when installed.
Regards,
Harsha
Hi,
according to documentation step 2 I need to add the code in the .htacess file. I have 2 files. One in the main directory and one in the installation folder. My question is in which file I need to add it?
Thanks!
My high traffic travel website http://www.asiantraveltips.com has been using Newspaper theme for a couple of months now and it has been pretty good, but since the latest version updates all kinds of things have broken and I can’t fix them. I am currently on V7.0.1. My server is a VPS at A Small Orange running Apache with PHP V 5.4.45 and 1024 MB RAM. I’ve copied the Theme Status data below.
The Visual Composer is no longer working. I have tried uninstalling the plugin and reinstalling from the plugins folder in the theme files and it’s now on V.4.11.2 as you recommend but it still doesn’t work. If you visit the home page you’ll see the [vc] code is displayed at the top of the page instead of the parallax image scroller that should be there.
The image above shows the page editor screen when I try to edit my static front page. It’s blank. Before I uninstalled and reinstalled VC, it was displaying a VC logo in there but when I’d click it, I’d be taken to their website to buy the product. Now there’s just a blank box and if I click on the VC logo next to “Classic Editor” it does nothing. Same when I try to create a new page.
I have also lost my Mappress Pro maps and the admin strip across the tops of pages and posts when I am logged in as administrator. If I change back to my old theme, they both work just fine so it’s definitely related to Newspaper theme. I have even tried disabling all the other plugins and disabling Cloudflare and it makes no difference. So it doesn’t seem to be a plugin conflict.
I’m desperate and running out of options. This is starting to crash my Google rankings as well now.

After updating the social counter (not updated) shows in white. No step by step instructions on how to update the social counter in the documentation. Wish it would be as simple as newstheme->plugins like mobile theme
Even without updating shows in green all ok installed.
New mobile theme once installed show “latest articleS” , “about us”, and “follow us” in english. How do we update those texts to our own language?
I had the same problem and I downloaded the latest newspaper theme from Themeforest, and installed the plugin from there.
This might not help but seems to work on some installs
* resave permalinks
* disable Yoast SEO, then re-enable (you don’t lose settings)
Note if you are using some “optimization” plugins or services — these are known to cause problems with WP 4.5.2.
Hello eemskrant,
Until now we do not have any bad reports in this regards, sorry! Please ensure that you have fully installed your theme without any errors. To be sure, please try to do a clean install only through FTP because this is the surest method in this case.
