WordPress does this with some updates of themes and the full WP upgrade if your “transients” are cleared at same time. Not a theme issue, as the them does not control the WP > settings > widgets.
It’s been an issue with WP since it was launched.
If you change themes, the widgets get reset — at least the added a moved to ‘deactivated’ section, so sometimes you can just move them back.
NORMALLY, on a live install where transients are stored, simply updating your WP version will *not* lose widget settings.
Broken pagination was a bug in WordPress no the theme — which was fixed in WP 4.4.2
Good to keep eye on WP updates as they often list fixes, severe security updates, etc. WP 4.4.1 introduced the pagination bug, not the theme. (4.4.1 is NOT a secure version.)

Summary
From the announcement post, WordPress versions 4.4.1 and earlier are affected by two security issues: a possible SSRF for certain local URIs, reported by Ronni Skansing; and an open redirection attack, reported by Shailesh Suthar.
#36435 HTTP: 0.1.2.3 is not a valid IP.
#36444 Better validation of the URL used in HTTP redirects.
In addition to the security issues above, WordPress 4.4.2 fixes 17 bugs from 4.4 and 4.4.1
Make sure you increase the default memory in your wp-config.php file. Visual Composer uses a lot of memory, and by default WP assumes you’re using a text-only theme like those included with the WP install.
Default is 40mb and needs to be 96mb or higher.

Do you feel that Yoast 3.0 is still the best to use with the theme, I’m still on 2.3.5 because there have been so many horror stories about 3.x.x etc?
Heard good things about other plugins but I know you recommend Yoast (WordPressSEO) – would you advice just install 3.x.x and rollback of a problem? Any other users have experience of its performance on Newspaper6

Hello, I am having this issue with my install of the theme. I installed the Newsmag default demo. But this error is occurring and this is happening on the website.
Can someone please put me in the right direction as to how I may fix this. Because I have never encountered this error before.
Chris thank you a lot for your time, even you are not part of Tagtiv’s team.
However:
1) I just selected my preferred domain to be the version with www
2) then, put a 301 redirect code in .htaccess to be redirected in this version (with www)
Now I’m reading this stuff about rel=”canonical”, which I understand why I have to use them but I don’t understand why I have to use them in each post? I have like 200 articles indexed, now I have to put rel=”canonical” in each of them? And for each post I will do I have to put rel=”canonical” also? Why I have to use rel=”canonical” when I already choose a preferred domain and put 301 redirect. All tutorials in the internet tells only these things which I already did, and tells nothing about rel=”canonical”?
Please, take your time and tell be this:
1) Does I need to put rel=”canonical” in each post?
2) How can I put rel=”canonical” in the domain link, not in posts?
P.S: I already have Yost seo pluging installed
Another question ?
In the theme option panel, some options will not work ? For instance if I try to change my HEADERS BACKGROUND COLOR, it will not change ? However, if I try to change the website background color, that will work ?
So I maybe delete the theme and reinstall ?
Hello,
I have installed the ver. 6.6.1 of Newspaper theme.
I have a problem with the “Load More” button, sometimes it blocks and does not visualize older posts.
I found that the problem occurs when the system try to load an article including particular chars like curly quotes in the excerpt.
The inspector console returns me an error:
tagdiv_theme.js?ver=bb01a21…:3001 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘td_data’ of null
does anybody have the same problem?
thank you
Hi, I recently purchased newspaper 6 theme, I installed default demo and customized everything. But I can’t see any images loading in my site. I can only see white gaps and black blocks. Plz, anyone help me with this problem.
Hello pasqualino77,
I have checked your website and I saw your problem with the sidebar. I suspect this issue that comes from your untested plugins which you are using and which create some interference between our theme and this kind of plugin. Please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer active, clear all cache and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins. Always, when you have some errors/issues/bugs in the theme, please compare your site with the demo version and check if its are found in our demo. If these are found in demo means that is a real problem in the theme, otherwise the issue only comes from your side (customization, plugins, etc).
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!

Hello JohnyKrew,
Unfortunately, if I do not have your website URL I cannot provide you a more accurate response. Please notice that on our demo, -> http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ all of this works as expected. I suspect your issue comes from your untested plugins. Please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer, clear all cache and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins.
After this, if your problem is still there and if you need more assistance in this regard, please provide your website URL so I can further inspect it.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
Hello chiara,
Normally the Envato policy allows using a theme only on one install. You can, however, use the theme on a sub-domain if you plan on creating a testing site, but if we are talking about totally different sites with different content, then only one theme per install is legally allowed: http://screencast.com/t/NqzloVgyUJB. In your case, it’s okay if you are using the same site.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
Hello Dgtacq,
For better results using our theme, please ensure that you have the latest version of the theme and plugins and also, please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer, clear all cache and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins.
If you need more assistance in this regard, please provide your website URL so I can further inspect the problem.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!

Hello,
Please delete the old theme from your server, download the latest version fro envato (6.6.5) and install it on your server. Maybe this will help: https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
You should be able to access the server via ftp. And simply replace files. If you cannot access ftp, then please contact your hosting provider to instruct you on how to access your files on their server.
Thank you!
I know what the problem is. When i install the theme i get the newspaper 4 theme (which i have never seen ofcourse). Is this because my activation link is activated on my local host site?
Best to do a clean install of theme theme and plugins on your working site in order to have it working properly. If you have something broken based on however you migrated stuff, obviously stuff might not work.
The default templates are in the theme panel under the normal location — see theme docs >> right side of page for how to install demos.
If demos missing then you busted something on your install !
Wish I had a one click solution, but sadly no.
Best bet is to do basic install of the theme then copy over the theme “settings” from your work site to production site.
e.g., options
1) copy over the mysql dbase from your local system to server via phpmyadmin expport > import
2) copy over the settings from your theme panel for “export settings” for theme, import on working site
3) learn to use FTP to copy over your image/uploads folder from temp to live location
Lots of tutorials on web on how to move from MAMP to hosting site.
I’m trying to migrate my beautiful local built newspaper theme website to a wordpress server on Gatorhost. Six hours later..it still looks like 1999 and i am struggling for every step. Can someone help me please?
– I am missing parts of the theme panel
– I do not know how to use FTP: because it’s a pre-installed wordpress server there is not a lot information on how to migrate the images and the rest (what is the rest?).
– Also, The website misses some colors, all the menu’s, some parts of of the footer text, widgets are not working.
Where to start? Or where to begin all over again?
Thanks!!
Hopefully it’s a non issue.
You might do a Google search for the issue, which is usually best thing to do:
e.g.,
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cloaked-site
============================
Upshot means “in conclusion” … it’s not a theme issue, so something you have added to your site means things YOU have added like a plugin — the theme doesn’t add plugins to your site, you do.
SO you need to debug what you’ve done to the site that caused the issue. If 10,000 people don’t have an issue, and you do — it’s pretty obvious that something you “added” (meaning, install a plugin, add javascript code, etc.) is causing the issue.
The only way to debug is to turn stuff OFF until you figure out what it is; remove stuff you added like custom javascript loading something from elsewhere, etc.
If something is being “cloaked” by a plugin — whatever that actually means — then it might be an issue, might not be. What is the exact meaning of “cloaked” in this context? For example hiding a menu from desktop, and only showing it for mobile users, might technically be “cloaking” or “hidden” until needed.
If something is hidden “behind” something and not see to visitors but is loaded in the browser, that is a problem as that is how malware is hidden, such as an on click event behind a login box, etc.
Best of luck.
I just purchased newspaper 6 and I am trying to install the demo when I started installing default demo, It went to half way fine, and then after my net connection was gone. So when then when I am retrying it, I can’t even get any access to that plz help with this.
Hello. I just update newspaper theme from 6.4 to 6.5
Everything is almost ok but I can’t upload my new child theme. I created the necessary files and put them into a .zip file. After I upload them it tell me that:
– The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the index.php file.
This is not my first time I created a child theme, what I’m doing wrong?
All the best!
I just installed it, and created a new post, but there is still no featured image. Is there a trick to getting it set up right?
Hey guys. Will try to explain this as best I can. It might be long, don’t fall asleep 🙂

Last week I started having trouble with uploading media such as the featured images –was getting an “Http Error”.
On “larger” images 125k+ was getting “Internal Server Error” (see images included in folder link below)
Tried both WP image upload methods and still had the problem.
I thought it might be a server problem timing out or something. I Called the host company GoDaddy, they found no problem.
I then turned off ALL plugins and the problem still continued.
Then, I uninstalled the NewsMag Theme and put in the generic WP theme and the uploading problem was solved.
Reinstalled NewsMag and it started again.
I managed to get some images to upload but… Oddly… when they do upload, the file name but not the actual thumbnail preview appears in the in the library.
I ran the Regenerate Thumbnail plugin on individual images and that fixed it –I was able to post normally.
With the most recent post though, I can’t get it to appear on mobile (yes more complicated! haha)
I sent three images below for you to see.
One is of the post. You can see the main image of the girl with glasses smiling. When I try to post on Facebook, it’s not reading the featured image.
And in the other screenshot I sent you can see that the featured image is not appearing on in the Block (it does on PC but not on mobile –tried Safari and Chrome and cleared caches on both.
In other words, I’ve tried everything and something is still wrong.
Hope its’ something small I missed and you can help me out! here is the site http://www.everydaydiabetes.com
Love your service and your themes.
If you need a login, tell me where to send that info to you.
THANKS as always guys.

Hello. Today, I decided to update my theme from newspaper 6.4 to 6.5.
I have already a child theme installed. My questions is this:
– After the update, I need to create another child theme? Or just install the current one? So after the update I need to activate newspaper 6.5 or child theme?
All the best.
