Hi
I’ve checked your site and the images are displayed fine now: http://screencast.com/t/XHdRG5zKa This issue usually appear because of lazy load animation which’s script conflicts with one of the installed plugins. If this happens again you can try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, then activate them one by one see which one causes the problem.
Thanks!
Hi
First of all make sure you do a backup of your current theme/wp install and database also: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups and in case something goes wrong in the update process you can always go back to the previous working version and try again. Then you have to edit the indicated file on your computer using a text editor. The file can be found in the folder that you downloaded from themforest here: http://screencast.com/t/92Jf4vsBt5QN After you make the changes upload the file via ftp on your server.
Thanks!
Hello Ryuko,
The theme code was tested and optimized for best performance, we have a lot of clients and the theme works well on a large variety of hosts.
First, please make sure that you use the recommended server configuration for Newspaper theme, you can check our documentation for more details: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
There are lots of factors that influence the site’s page-sped. I suggest you first try this without any other plugins active, leave just VC plugin active the check again.
To improve your server response time you can try to reduce the number of queries (fewer plugins, fewer blocks on page, reduce the elements which use ajax requests/pagination like mega menus/load more/infinite load), also consider using a cache plugin, we recommend the WP super cache plugin with the following configuration: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
To improve the loading speed look the MySQL query cache: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/query-cache.html we also use it on our demo.
Also, you can use the speed booster to move the js and CSS at the bottom of the page, eliminate render-blocking, but not for all plugins. Check the System Status if the speed booster is active if you use other plugins than the tested ones. You can find some useful information regrading Speed Booster usage in this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/speed-booster-questions/
Also, you can read this guide, it may help – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hi,
Please provide more details regarding the facebook issues. Do you refer to the Social Counter plugin? Please make sure you use the latest theme version 6.6.3, then deactivate and delete the Social Counter plugin – http://screencast.com/t/4f9ZPR9sNl6Y and install it again from here so you will make sure you use the latest version – http://screencast.com/t/ioeIReUJ4
Even if you use a parent category the child categories will not appear automatically using ajax, they have to be added manually to appear. So please check block settings and remove thos ids – http://screencast.com/t/0SNBIfoVy
Thanks!
Hello John,
Please ensure you that this problem is not caused by a conflicting plugin. Please try to disable all the active plugins, except Visual Composer, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and in this case, you should rule out the conflicts between plugins. After this advice, if your problem is still there, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide your log-in information so we can take a look at your page setup. Please also provide a link to this topic so we know who you are.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
Hi,
I did not install any cache plugin due to i am using nginx server, this is what my hosting provider advise me. Therefore i would like to ask should i enable Ajax for the view count? And will it increase the load of the server since it will trigger admin-ajax.php.
Thanks.
Regards,
Terrence

Hi
Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches and check if the problem persist. If the problem is still there try this css in theme panel > custom code > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/vtUr2zpnguem
.vc_row{
margin-left: 0;
}
I’ve checked your site and found some js errors in browser console: http://screencast.com/t/00Ch1Qx8 Make sure that you remove any minifications tools if you use’re using and test again. Also you can try to update the theme and Visual Composer plugin at the current version available o themeforest: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ empty all caches ant test again. Before the update process do a full back-up to your database and the current WordPress install: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups in case something goes wrong you can get back to the previous version.
Thanks!
Hello wpdiv,
I have checked your website and I saw your problem with the mega menu. Please ensure that your problem is not caused by any plugins that you are using. Please try to disable all the active plugins, except Visual Composer, disable all the minification files, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and try it again. It is necessary to follow this advice because you rule out the plugins in the conflict that might cause this problem.
If your problem is still there after this, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide your log-in information so we can take a look at your page setup. Please also provide a link to this topic so we know who you are.

Hello bastian-pl,
I have checked your website and I saw that your Facebook from social counter does not work properly and also I saw that you have an old version of Newspaper (6.2) Please make sure you have these requirements before further investigation is required:
1) Please make sure you have the latest theme version: 6.6.3. 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 6.6.3 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.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!

6 months before I purchased the newspaper theme…then I install it and activate it with purchase code in the activation section…but due to some problem I have to entirely clean my site…and re-install the theme…now I cant find the activation tab……initially I thought activation is not needed this time…but after few days some backdoor code on the header file infected my site…kindly help me…is the activation is necessary this time or not…
Sir i have installed newspaper on iaspaper.net and when i open facebook link from the social icon it opens the homepage again.
And another query is how can i setup forum like this on my blog.
Speedbooster is a plugin included with theme, and found in the /plugins/ folder from your download of theme zip from themeforest. The plugin must be installed then activated like any plugin.
Ok, I have worked out how to install version 5.15. Basically you are asking us to download the full zip version from theme forest website and then unzip the file and save it and find the rev slider v5 file within that.
I have done that but get the message that the plugin is not activated.
Hi
Just trying to install the revolution slider and I cannot understand your instructions. You say it is available here (see below) but where is this file usually located? Your links sent me to Cloudflare but this does not give any instructions on how to instal the slider. Can you please step up with some clear instructions please.
Newspaper-tf\plugins\revolution_slider_5
I assume that the file is located in an ftp somewhere but again there are no clear instructions on how to install.
Здравствуйте!
Есть задача: установить смещение статей в блоке, чтобы они начинали выводиться с 15-ой по счёту. Глобально, без ограничений.
Если я выставляю цифру 14, данная настройка работает и статьи выводятся, начиная с 15-ой.
Если я добавляю фильтрацию, к примеру, устанавливаю определённую рубрику, смещение перестаёт работать. Я так понимаю, что применение фильтра добавляет ограничение и при установке фильтрации по рубрике статьи начнут выводиться, только если в этой рубрике наберётся 15 статей. Верно?
Но, необходимо настроить смещение так, чтобы фильтры его не ограничивали. Как можно это сделать и в каком файле настраивается смещение?
Заранее спасибо за помощь.

Hello!
There is a task: to set the offset entries in the unit, they began to be evacuated from the 15th in a row. Globally, without limitation.
If I put the figure 14, the setting works and articles are listed, starting with the 15th.
If I add a filter, for example, to establish certain categories, the offset is no longer working. As I understand it, It adds that the application of the restriction filter and install filter by category articles will be displayed only if in this category got 15 articles. Right?
But, need to adjust the offset so that the filters do not limit it. How can this be done and what the file offset is adjusted?
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Install with just theme zip and not the all files zip.
Per the theme install how-to (see link right side of page); you need to install from the theme zip file and not the “all files” zip, as that includes all sorts of support stuff. You can find the theme zip INSIDE of the big zip 🙂
Usually a good idea to download any zip file from the web and open it on your local PC/Mac to “see” what is inside it before uploading to your website — this also helps ensure there is no malware or other things you might not want to install — in some cases — irrevocably — on your website.
Tried to install Newspaper using Upload Theme.
Installing Theme from uploaded file: themeforest-5489609-newspaper.zip
Unpacking the package…
Installing the theme…
The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Theme install failed.
This is the error. Plz help.
I apologize if this is a very basic question but I’ve been driving myself crazy trying to figure it out for the past two days. I figured I would just stop and ask at this point in the hopes that somebody can help me. With any luck, the solution is something simple that I have book overlooking.
I’m setting up a new blog and it is my first time using Newspaper. When setting the featured image for posts, I am using as big as images as I can think to use so that they won’t need to scale up to cover any of the possible thumbnail sizes.
Yet as you can see here – http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f54/Sims4Sarah/bloghelp1_zpsei3uuxin.jpg – I am still ending up with random grey space. Often, it is in the big grid headers but not always. It can be in the thumbs of the lower units too.
I don’t know what I am doing wrong. I’m putting it in the featured space on each post – http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f54/Sims4Sarah/bloghelp2_zpsss8nmwzr.jpg and I have been experimenting with larger and larger dimensions in hopes that I’ll hit on a magic size that means I don’t have the problem any more (I installed Force Regenerate Thumbnails and ran it each time I replaced with a new size) but nothing is working.
Here is an example of a featured image size on a recent post entry – http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f54/Sims4Sarah/bloghelp3_zpsfviucxpy.jpg
What am I doing wrong? I have all of the thumb sizes still switched to ‘blue’ in the theme panel block settings, if that matters.
I have the Newspapter 6.6.3 with a new install. I am going through the video tutorials to see if all of my settings are correct but in the youtube video located here:
I do not see the Formats dropdown in my editor.

How do I get the formats dropdown box to show up as is shown on the YT video?
Thank you
John
Hello Bogdan
I don’t want to double post, but I have to get an answer to this.
I recently installed the latest build from you all and a did a fresh new install of Welcome to Newspaper V 6.6.3.
In the Visual Composer, I do not see this area specified in the red rectangular box:

How can I get this to show up as shown in the YouTube video you suggested above?
Hello
Would u tell me How Can I install revolution slider demo?
