Hi,
Every post template has a specific class you can check here: http://screencast.com/t/GgiEwozGrpSQ
You can add multiple conditions to the code if you wish to change it.
As for the plugin, we are not sure how the plugin works. You will need to use the implementation method specified by the plugin author. If you want to modify this behavior, we cannot offer any suggestions as we have not tested the plugin and have no idea of it;s functionality.
For the third part, there is no benefit at all, as different versions of visual composer will not work with pur theme properly except for the one that comes bundled with our theme. Please use just the version you can install from here: http://screencast.com/t/iuv6drOf (we will update the plugin along with the theme)
Thank you!
Hello,
Thanks for your message.
Infortunately, the Search is not working…
I have so many plugins installed, so I won´t follow your advice of “cleaning” the plugins. Consequently,and because the Search is not working, I´d prefer to remove the Search from the menu (in order that the user don´t go there and it doesn´t work) – how I can do that?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Pedro Moreira
Hi,
I checked disabling plugins also but seems not worked.
But I noticed one thing after installing new theme, the new posts thumbs are loading properly, only old posts thumbnails are looking garbage.
should I need to regenerate all thumbnails for new theme? (like this tutorial: https://forum.tagdiv.com/existing-content/)
kindly help me decide so I can try it.
thanks
regards
Hello PedroMiguelMoreira,
I suppose that you are referring to the Search symbol (“magnifying glass”). This kind of option is created in the header-menu.php core file. If you want to add the Search word, you have to alter the code from this file, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/Jn3vnxAlF -> http://screencast.com/t/ZIQElfNQ The search function should work fine. 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. You can check this option in our demo version, here -> http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
Hope this helps!
If is not what you mean, please provide more details about what you want to change so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thank you for the message!
Hi Catalin,
Thanks for your reply.
I can’t find the TagDiv Speed booster plugin. Where do I locate or install it.
I think I will hire a developer to fix the problems but that plugin might be enough.
Thanks again
For those who need reference for the above problem:
“I’ve checked your site and noticed that you’re using an older version of child theme. I’ve deactivated the child theme and now your site it’s displayed fine: http://screencast.com/t/OQUgDXxms
If you want to the the child theme make sure you install it from the path downloaded from themeforest as we changed the system which enqueue the scripts iwith child theme: http://screencast.com/t/ZqF03pIRnC8”
Hello Andrii,
I have checked your website and I saw the problem. 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. This issue might be caused by interference between your untested plugins and our theme and it is possible to appear errors. Please check our demo and there you can see that the problem does not appear. -> http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/category/tagdiv-lifestyle/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hello,
the revolution slider plugin is bundled with the theme so updates can only come through our theme updates. You can get the latest version we can provide from the latest version of the theme (rev slider 5.1.5)
We will update the plugin along with the theme update.
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-install-revolution-slider-v5/
Thank you!
Hello,
If the sorting option worked before, then pleased try to figure out what changed since a few days ago. Did you change a few settings or installed a new plugin? Usually things do not happen without a reason. Please check a few options that are required for the 7 days sorting:
1) the option active in the theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/Aigw5YYXL
2) the Ajax post view count: http://screencast.com/t/DxPIvWusbwvQ
3) The post views themselves as this option relies on views: http://screencast.com/t/Yz3Qo9I6
If you have all of these options checked and the counter does not work, please try to refresh your post page and see if the view counter increments. If it does not work, please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then check the post views again.
let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hello atw101,
In order to achieve the best results after you will install the latest update you have to follow some rigorous steps like this -> you have to delete both of your themes, child theme, and main theme. All your customizations from your Newspaper 4 child theme will do not work because all the files from this were changed in Newspaper 6 and as the main theme and also you lose all changes.
Newspaper 6 is a whole new theme so an update from 4 to 6 may cause the same issues as switching to another theme (but we did try to maintain compatibility where ever possible).
Always make a full backup of your current installation – https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups and then do a clean update, meaning that we recommend that you delete the old version of the theme before uploading the new one – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ update also the plugins that come bundled with the theme files from the /plugins folder. In the “how to update” guide is specified that you will have to run the script that will import from database your settings.
The shortcodes have been changed so old ones will not work anymore. Please note that old files customization or custom CSS will not work with the new version and you will have to adjust or re-add them.
Bottom line is that newspaper 6 is a whole new theme built from scratch.
Unfortunately, you will have to clear your agenda and spare a bit of time to adjust all your settings to the new version of the theme.
If you have already Newspaper 6 and you want only to do the update to latest version, you should make this without any problem. All your customization are recorded in the database which is not affected by this update.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hello griseltolstow,
In order to achieve best results, 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 you have done this, please consult the guide below and then check your social counter and see how it works.
1) Please make sure you have the latest theme version: 6.6.5. If not, you need to follow this guide to update your theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
2) Having the latest version of the theme is not enough if you do not update the social counter as well. You need to remove the current version you use: http://screencast.com/t/4jvRwNzK and then install the version of the plugin that comes with the 6.6.5 theme: http://screencast.com/t/9AKKURjTjX
You can recognize if you have the correct version of the plugin when you see the new app key settings: http://screencast.com/t/CIXxklBanNl If you do not have these settings in your social counter it means you do not have the correct version.
3)You need to follow this guide to get the requirements from facebook:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial-2/
Please keep in mind that the social counter is not a live count. It will update once every few hours.
Once you followed all the above steps properly and made sure you have not missed anything, (and the social counter still does not work), then you can send an email to contact@tagdiv.com with your login information so we can further inspect the issue. Also, please provide the link of this topic so we can know who you are and what the issue is.
Hope this helps!

Hello FarrahGillani,
Please make sure that you have activated Post Vies counts from Theme panel, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/WXOM6HPNIx and then 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.

Hi,
I installed the theme yesterday and have spent the past 48 hours optimizing it but I’m having a problem with the website loading. The loading speed is quite slow and the site shows up in a raw and basic way before it loads fully. (You may be able to tell that I’m not a pro at this!)
I downloaded the plugin ‘Above the fold’ which according to them:
“This plugin enables to pass the “Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content”-rule from Google PageSpeed Insights.” This plugin does speed up the website but leaves this preload problem….
Overall the theme is nearly perfect with great customization but I’m having difficulty finding plugins to run with this theme as almost all the plugins I was previously using don’t work, so are there specific plugins that come recommended for this theme, especially in terms of speeding up the site? E.G. I can’t find a plugin to help with compression.
Thanks a million for any help anyone might have!
Sorry… Site is failmuch.com
Well.. if you want folks to try to help your issue, perhaps help provide some info ?
What tool is saying you have a cloaking issue ?
Link to show the error, screenshot, proof of issue, what you did to debug or fix? Did you try rolling back your changes to a backup to not get the error?
Nobody here can ‘guess’ to what might be happening as that is not a normal issue for the other 20,000 installs of the theme.
But I don’t work here, so just ignore me. I’m out 🙂
Hi,
My author bios are showing twice on each post – one at the end of an article, and one on the sidebar.
And one of the authors is showing up in the sidebar on the Home Page.
I had installed a plug-in – Word Sub-Head – but have now deleted it.
Any advice?
Looking to launch this week, but don’t want to launch with an embarrassing Home Page mistake.
Best wishes
Paul
I had a site that had Newspaper 4 still installed on it somehow, and I tried to update it to the current 6.6.5 version. The error says this:
wp booster error:
Please update your [tagDiv social counter] Plugin!
How do I correct this?
The social counter plugin is showing that it is in fact current.
Thanks,
Antione
Hi Guys! I have read many of the topics of this plugin problem, but I can’t find any solution. I don´t know if I have the newest social counter plugin … Also I have the Newspaper V6.3. It is the latest, right? Please tell me how to fix the problem and if I need the latest version of the Social Plugin please provide an URL where I can download it.
I followed these instructions: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/why-i-see-my-facebook-643-likes/
We have fixed this fb social counter issue in latest theme version, V 2.3.5 and latest version of the social counter plugin, so please make sure you use the latest version of the plugin, V 3.1 and that you configure the fb counter like this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial/ Also you have to use the lates version of Visual Composer included in theme path, V 4.9.2: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
You can make sure you use the latest version of the plugin by removing it then install it form theme’s > plugins section: http://screencast.com/t/W0nHgyA1US and for the theme log into your themeforest account then go the downloads section, you find the latest theme version there, download it and update it using the update guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/

The page is http://www.arumbear.com/ve (It’s in spanish). And we also have arumbear.com/pa (Panamá and the social FB counter works fine… We tried to do everything as we did it in the Panamá version but still nothing works.

Hi everyone. We done all the settings like the tutorial and it isn’t working yet. We’re trying to show the most accessed post of the 7 past days.
We’re not using any CDN or Cache. All the recommended plugins are installed and activated. No other plugins are installed.
BLOCK SETTINGS > 7 days sorting (enabled)
POST SETTINGS > Ajax View Count (enabled)
How solve this? It’s urgent.

I have purchased and activated my newspaper theme, but still I have this “PURCHASE THEME” on my navigation bar.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the theme. I have even purchased the theme a second time, but I can’t put in the new activation code anywhere. YES… I followed all your instructions.
I originally purchased your theme and tested it on a smaller site and then moved the theme to the current site. I used that activation code on the test site and then again on the current site.
I have purchased the theme again thinking that I can not use it on more than one site, thus burned my first activation code.
SO now that I have purchased again, have a new code, how do I activate the theme so that the purchase this theme does not show up?
Cheers
Ray
Hello,
This is a warning that you installed our woocommerce extensions but you do not have the woocommerce plugin installed. If you plan on having e-commerce on your website, then please install the woocommerce plugin. If not, then you can disable woolabel and wooinvoice as they are extensions for the e-comerce plugin.
Thank you!
Hi
I’ve checked your site and noticed that you’re using the latest version of the theme available on themeforest: http://screencast.com/t/rYL6XIWtpZbA so there is no need to update the theme again if works properly.
You only need to update the Visual Composer and Social Counter plugins. The most easy way is by deleting the current versions then install the new ones from plugins panel: http://screencast.com/t/lpjyJzS4Urw
Also you can install them plugins via WordPress but make sure you install them from the theme path downloaded from themeforest: http://screencast.com/t/R5Sp7j7a2l21
Thanks!
Hello,
i’m using the newspaper theme for about a month. I noticed that since i installed it i managed to make only one conversion using affiliate mk. Before installation i had about 26 conversions a month.
I checked the links and all are working fine, i can see statistics (clicks) on the links using the affiliate interface, but on conversions.
Do you know what is the problem and how can i fix it?
Okay….
here’s one of my ‘top tips’ …
a) after you disable and remove js_composer
b) use wp-optimize and delete all ‘transients’
c) reinstall js_composer
