Hello Gordon,
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 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.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Hope this helps!
Thank you!
@k2point0 You need Visial composer plugin installed and active. Then edit your home page in backend editor + clic on add new element + you have 8 diferents big grids + 1 grid slide.

I’ve also had the same behaviour confirmed by someone on another device now.
The screenshot you posted shows that the CSS names Open Sans for the font-family. I agree, the CSS is being generated correctly. But the question is whether the browser can actually find and display that font.
Yours might be displaying it because you have it installed on your device. I’m not confident that that’s how it works, but that has factored into other weird font behaviours in the past.
Can you show me whether your browsers are downloading the Open Sans CSS file and hence fonts from fonts.googleapis.com, as in my first screenshot?
Thanks!
Hi,
I am trying to install the visual Composer plugging and I received the following:
– El plugin no tiene una cabecera válida (the plugging does not have a valid header) and
-La carpeta ya existe (the file already exist) /home/content/n3pnexwpnas02_data01/24/2912324/html/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/
Fallo en la instalaciĂłn del plugin. (failed in plugging instalation).
I did not have any problems with the others pluggins.
Please, I appreciate your help.
Thank you,
Francisco
Hello,
I have newspaper theme v6.5 installed on my website.
URL – http://www.naukrinama.com
I wanted to put a static social media sharing options and whatsapp sharing link below each of my posts automatically. I figured out that I need to make changes to loop-single.php file.
I have placed my code below the line which calls the function get_content() and it displays it at the position as shown in the screenshot below. I want my data to come exactly after the post description. Currently it is coming below the social icons and advertisement.
With further research i found that i have to make changes to the file where get_content() function is defined in theme. Can you please let me know where can i edit it, or how can i achieve the desired result as shown in the screenshot below.

Hello,
I installed the newsmag demo on my site at http://www.suksess.no then just changed the names of the categories to my own. I have also translated the whole site into Norwegian which was very easy with the translate option.
Everything is working well on the site, however, on my home page (and only on this page) some of the old tags or name of categories still show up like “Fashion Week”, “Gadget World” and “Best Smartphones”..
Have been trying to find out where and HOW to change this, but with no luck. I can’t find these old lables anywhere. Not in categories, tags or block settings.
Can you please advise?
Thanks,
Erlend
Hi,
my social counter is not working. Twitter and YouTube is working however, Facebook and Instagram is not.
can you please advise where to look? I have tried FB name and ID still no luck. I also have tried to uninstall and install the plugin, still not luck. Anything else I should try?
thanks.
Thank you for coming back to this.
We have Newspaper 6.5.1 and the plugins that came along installed. The problem is occuring with Newspaper 6.5.1.
We installed AND updated according to your documentations.
Twice.
Thank You!
Hello,
You can update your theme to the latest version 6.5.1 so it can support the latest version of visual composer, and you can also update the plugin : https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Please make sure you only install the visual composer version that is bundled with the theme.
Thank you!
I am just another user of theme but I checked your link to website and you have admin all over the website. You should never have admin account on your website. That needs to be changed as soon as possible. It is an easy way for someone to access because that is the default account when installing WordPress. You need to have your own username and not admin. Strong password too. If your site is being hacked it is because of admin username.
Another best thing to do if you are giving Tagdiv access to your site. Make a temporary username and password with administrator rights and then delete it after they fixed what ever you want them to fix. This way no one can access it. Admin username is what hackers use to get in. Hope that helps.
Yes, that is what it was. I had the api plugin installed but that block was there and when I removed the plugin it was gone. I did not need the api plugin because I am not going to be creating new blocks. I tried the creating stuff with Visual Composer builder and thought it was confusing to me. So I am sticking with just what you guys offer in the updates. I like new features to play with but if I have to spend hours off and on to figure out something, to me it is a lot of time consuming. So I gave up on it.
What I was thinking of doing with the builder was creating a carousel for posts that shows like 4 images of posts and has left and right arrows and every certain time limit it rotates to the left every 4 of the images if you set like 8, 12 and up images and just continues rotating. Nothing in Visual Composer or in theme has that. The carousel in theme is just posts with excerpt and read more button and I don’t want that kind of carousel.
I am going to not worry about this either. Thanks anyways.
Hi
Please make sure that you installed the theme according with our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-install-via-wordpress/ If you can’t manage to solve this issue send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your login credentials and we will inspect this issue as soon as possible, also include a link to this topic.
Thanks!
Hi,
In this situation the best thing you can do is do a clean install of the theme. Please delete your theme and do a fresh install via ftp: https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/. Make sure you back-up first: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
If the problem is still there after a clean install send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your login
information. Also provide a link to this topic so we know who you are.
Thank you!
Hi
2. I’ve checked your site and noticed that you didn’t added the correct link for your facebook page: http://screencast.com/t/R9e4AKSp4J Try adding your page like this: http://screencast.com/t/7UGxp77eP2L It should work fine: http://screencast.com/t/3iYa3g7FWt
3. After bbpres install you will have an option which allow you to create a new forum: http://screencast.com/t/S8AfV3E3Sw also you can creat and manage topics and replies from the dashboard. More information in can be found in plugin’s official documentation: https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/
4. The theme have a fixed width for page/ post contend which is: 1021px and for your site is the same: http://screencast.com/t/hF6dJiaJ
Thanks!
Hey!
I am another “Frank” but I am experiencing similar problems.
I had VC (full license) installed at my site prior to purchasing Newspaper 6.
We have installed according to the manual (https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/)
We tried several times.
We are constantly having a persistant error message in our dashboard (“Important notice: You have an outdated version of Visual Composer Design Options. It is required to review and save it.”) that we can not get rid of and we are lacking a good number of elements (http://screencast.com/t/B2ExxHCzXQye) from VC. We are missig everything in that screensho after “Masonry Media Grid” (see here: abload.de/img/vctes4b.jpg )
We also tried turning everything off and on again – didn’t help.
For us Visual Composer is only offering the same four Dashboard-options as Frank showed in his screenshot above.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance,
Frank B.
Edit.
By pure randum luck while reactivating plugins I hit (in dashboard) “Visual Composer” -> “Settings” and in there by a stroke of sheer luck I accidentaly clicked “user group access rights” -> “Administrator” and guess what? Almost all Newspaper-related items were disabled…
For the persistant Error-Message: that one is still there.
I strpngly suggest adding this to the knowledge-base to check there

4) my site width have changed. please how do i get it to default mode? i want to increase site width
Hello,
I’m not sure why this occurs, but you can try these following methods:
– Switch to a different theme and then reactivate newspaper,
– Clear your cache and disable all plugins (check the panel with no plugin active),
If everything else fails, try to reinstall the theme. Make a back-up of your database and also back-up your modifications if you have any and perform a clean install via FTP: https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
In rare cases files can get corrupted upon install.
Let us know how it goes!
Thank you!

Hello,
If you update from version 4 to 6, then all customization will be lost.

Hello,
Complementary to Chris’ suggestion, try to install the theme using this tutorial here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/ and please make sure you meet these requirements as well to ensure optimal functionality: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Thank you!
likely somebody trying to access your theme folder directly which nobody should ever do unless trying to hack you; and sometimes you will see this from doing install or update to theme where temporarily while files are being moved around if Google pings your site they would end up following a temp redirect. You will then see this as a “one time” thing. Simply mark as fixed, and move on 🙂
Looks like you didn’t install theme properly.
Best to extract the single zip file for the theme on your PC/Mac, then upload via FTP to your wp-content/themes/ folder — don’t upload the newspaper-tf folder, only the newspaper theme folder alone. You also need to install the visual composer plugin from the /plugins/ folder with the theme (easiest to do from the larger ‘all files’ newspaper-tf folder, then unzip the js-composer folder then upload via ftp to /wp-content/plugins/ in your WordPress install.
Don’t use the Envato toolkit is as it doesn’t work well with all hosting setups, and can set wrong folder location, wrong permissions, and doesn’t install the plugins for you.
See the how to install docs, from the link right side this page.
Hope that helped! FTP always best way to install anything for WP.
