Hi

By installing the child theme as it is in /code folder the parent theme functionality won’t be affected because all theme’s files are in main theme. The child theme become useful if you want to customize a post template for example, you will move the required files and the changes won’t be affected by futures updates. In fact this is the point of a child theme, to keep the customization even if the main theme it’s updated. But this is not always valid, because once in a while the child theme it’s also updated, or if the main theme pass through a major update it’s possible that some customizations not work well anymore. There is no reason to install the child theme unless if you decide to customize the parent theme. Note that customizing a theme involve good coding skills otherwise its functionality will be damaged rather than improved.

You can check in documentation which file can be edited with child theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/

Hope this help.

Thanks for the message!

Hi,
I’m trying to change the homepage around a bit. I installed the travel demo, but I’m having trouble understanding how to choose which categories to feature, and how to change the picture on the top… Can I edit whats there? Or do I have to create my own structure?

Dear people,

I had bought the theme 1 week ago and put it online some days ago ( http://www.storypickers.com )

I installed the theme excatly as it is in the demo (with their content inside) and made some modification
like menus, category, new pages, add new posts and these stuff.

Now, i have decided to install the child theme (who already it is in the theme folder) butt i have done to much modification to the currect theme and made like 20 new posts.
– I’m wondering if i install the child theme will my customizations and posts dissapear?
– Will my sitemap, meta tag and all the seo i had done delete it?

Please, answear these two questions and please give me the instructions how to install the child theme?

Hi sesantanajr,

I have checked your site and some of your images are cropped, but they don’t have width and height, for example – http://screencast.com/t/Cmfz8ZNJUNJ it should look like this – http://screencast.com/t/uPWhut4R
Each featured image is cropped to a specific size, here you can see the thumbs used on modules – http://screencast.com/t/9xmQZoZFrGR and the code is located in td_config.php file – http://screencast.com/t/c7LeWSH7p3VK
You have to use Thumbnail Upscale and Force Regenerate Thumbnails only if you use smaller images than the thumb size on modules/block. If the images are not cropped you will have just to regenerate thumbnails – https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/
Did you modified the code? Please remove your custom modifications or try to so a clean install then check again without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and see if you still have this issue after you regenerate the thumbs.

Yesterday when I have checked your site the thumbs were cropped to the specific size. The theme doesn’t use the full size image on modules, I have just provide more details in the documentation how the theme creates the thumbnails and how to change the cropping mode if you want this.

Thanks!

Hello murakami9,

Our theme uses the WordPress standard comments module just styled differently. You can use a plugin like ‘Facebook comments’ https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/comments , which adds comment boxes but you will need to remove the default ones from the theme files. Replace theme’s default comments for each post template – http://screencast.com/t/wNkcby3T05.
You can read more about it in this topic here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-install-new-official-facebook-comment-update/.
If you do not want to modify the theme files there are other plugins that can replace the comments without you modifying the theme files, but we have not tested them and cannot make a recommendation.

Thank you!

Thanks for the advise. I was able to get the updated version installed, I was not installing it properly before. As far as errors go, the only thing I know to do is wait and see if Webmaster Tools shows whether things are improving.

Unfortunately since installing the latest version, I can’t seem to make any changes to color layout etc. When I installed the updated version, it changed the color of some of my accents, like “log in”, “recent posts”, “latest articles” to black which clashes with the color scheme. I have changed all the theme colors, saved the theme colors and refreshed the page and there is no change. I don’t remember that be too difficult in the past and I’m really not sure why it changed with the update.

I also tried to set the template to show summaries instead of entire posts on previous articles, when I save those settings and refresh the page there is no change.

Also, when I preview the page, it shows an about the author post at the bottom of the page and a comments field . I would really like these elements to show on the posted pages, but they don’t and in this particular case never did.

Please let me know where I should go to fix these items, Thank you in advance for your time.

Regards,

Jeni

Hello good day,

I just installed Newspaper 6.4 and I’m thrilled about the Travel Demo style. However, can someone please give me the image dimensions for the header image used on the homepage of the demo (the camel with beach huts and skyscrapers in the background)?

So far I’ve tried 1235×524 but when I follow the instructions given here on the forums, the result is somewhat blurred.

I would like my image to remain as sharp as the Travel Demo shown here: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_travel/

Here’s a screenshot of my homepage: http://www.screencast.com/t/FlhZ1P99Vk.

Notice that the two aren’t of the same sharpness (and I know a little bit about image sharpness, because I’m a photographer and I regularly prepare my images for web and print).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

hello, I just purchased this theme so i’ve got some basic customization questions. I have the fitness demo installed.
1. How can I remove the advertisement placeholders.
2. How do i change the categories that are displayed on the main page?
3. I’ve changed the social media links several times (with the whole url) now but the default ones are still showing up, not sure what I’m doing wrong at this point.

Thank you!

I generally agree with what Steven said.

Of course, major hackbots actually go after ALL sites running WordPress, and even folders with /wp-content/ or /wp-admin/ simply by doing Google search.

It’s of utmost importance to keep your core WP files updated for all the security patches.

It’s imperative to learn about security strategies:
1) rename your admin account to something else — you should NEVER have account called “admin”
2) use tools like “limit login attempts”
3) consider disabling pingbacks and XMLRPC unless you have absolute need for them
4) make sure your host has system in place like IPTables/CSF for auto-blocking port scans and basic probing of server.
5) delete old plugins and themes you are NOT using — 5 year old theme in your theme folder might be hackable. Just because it’s off doesn’t mean the php files are not still there (!).
6) check your site/domain error logs from time to time to look for folks from certain IPS generating large amount of errors; have your host add them to a block list, or in some cases you can do so with htaccess if not other method.
7) try not to have any “account signup” forms on your site; make sure any contact forms do NOT send auto emails back to the sender — instant spam engine.
8) subscribe to security blogs like Securi which keep up on major WP hackables
9) don’t install any plugins which have not been updated in 2015 unless you’re 100% sure they are safe as they may not have the security updates of recent months
10) don’t install free plugins “found on the web” on some random website (don’t trust “glowing reviews” from junk WP review sites which are affiliate link farms!)

Use common sense, be proactive in having a security PLAN like regular safe backups, etc. and “be careful out there!”

No reason to install the Child theme. Some people use them to hack theme settings in hopes they won’t have to redo edits on theme update; however that is a 50/50 proposition since often major theme updates mean changing child theme as well. If you’re using the built-in functions and control panel and visual layout, without needing to “hack’ things for some custom reason, you don’t need to use the child theme. It’s also a CSS redirect, which Google actually doesn’t like, but WordPress has this as a core ‘feature.’

Not sure that helps or not — but upshot: don’t use it unless you have a reason to!

Hello.

I just bought this theme 1 week ago, i installed the theme with their content inside.
I delete it all the posts were them and made a little modification for the categories, logo and this stuff.
I already made 10 posts and the web site is online ( http://www.storypickers.com )

These days i see in this forum and some other people suggest me to install the child theme (which is already at your newspaper folder?)

So i have 3 questions:
1) Why i have to install the childe theme?
2) Can i keep the theme just like it is, like i had installed with yours content inside?
3) If i install the child theme, will my posts and everything i have done delete it?

Waiting for you reply, wish to you a nice day!

Hello t-user,

You can try to upload the plugin via ftp. You can find it in the /plugins folder from files that you download from themeforest – http://screencast.com/t/9vFPNCUhK0
connect to your server, go to the /plugins folder, unzip the Visual Composer upload it – http://screencast.com/t/kD3YPsT9nj
It is similar procedure to updating the theme via ftp, but instead just upload the Visual Composer in the plugins folder – https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/

Let me know how it goes.
Thank you!

Hi

I suspect that the theme’s files were not copied properly so please make sure that you do a clean install of the theme as it’s suggested in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/ clear all caches, deactivate the plugins and test again.

Let us know how it goes!

Thanks!

Hi,

Do you use the latest theme version and Visual Composer? I have also checked this but I could not find any issues – http://screencast.com/t/Nak6Awmmex0Khttp://screencast.com/t/WnkGrWc8
Please use the instructions from the guide below to update the theme and the FTP method to do it and also make sure that you make a backup of your current theme installation so you can revert back to it in case something goes wrong.

Hi Guy’s,

I’m new at wordpress themes and I’m having an issue with installing that Visual Composer Plugin which is require for the site. Here is the screenshot of error “http://prntscr.com/8ilku1” It says “The plugin does not have a valid header.” I tried to unpack the theme wp file and erase that js component than I zipped it again and tried to load it again as new theme but it didn’t work. That would be great if you can offer me a solution.

Thank’s in Advance!

Hello,
I need to create new website with 3 different languages – english, russian and german. I need to have a different content and some different structure elements (menus, block and etc.) for every languages. For example if you load appple.com in UK, Denmark, Russian and etc. every website looks different with different content. I do not have any idea how I can do this with your “newspaper” theme, but is very important to make it. I bought the theme today and I’ve just installed it. I am going to create the my new website structure tomorrow. I have experience with WordPress, but I’ve never created multilingual site since now.

I will be happy if someone can help me 🙂
Thank you!

Hi, I am facing a tough situation with the theme NewsMag. It might be easy to solve, but at least for me is difficult and I haven’t found the solution looking around in this forum and in search engines.

The problem is that when I install the theme, at the frontend everything is pretty good. The problem is when I try to log with my username and password in the backend that I receive the following errors…

In my download I have both versions; with 6 installed it says v6.

Note there are two download options on ThemeForest — just the theme, or the “all files” — there is option to install either v6, the default latest — also a folder with v4 which is old version.
