I was able to finally install it, Thanks!
When I upload the theme on WordPress, I get this error:
“The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Theme install failed.”
That’s right. However, in the Theme Panel, what I see in Theme Information is version 4.6.3. Please check
http://prntscr.com/8hyfne
It seems the Installable Download File is correct, but the file in the full package is not.

Ha.
Our client is having caching issues ever since we installed this plugin for them. I had noticed issues at the time of installation but that was when I was making theme option changes (I couldn’t see the change unless I deleted the cache from the front-end and then again from the back-end and then sometimes not until I logged into another browser.)
Their initial enthusiasm for the theme is waning. Here are some of the issues they’re reporting:
1. Older content is NOT consistently replaced by new posts
2. Behavior varies significantly by browser
3. Cached images are impacted in significant ways. For example, images that
have been removed from a page continue to display, once sized images cannot
be resized ..
4. The “delete cache” produces erratic results. It is impossible for admins
to know if a page his displaying new content or not – short of logging in to a
different system.
We have WP-Super Cache with the default settings set per your recommendations. Is there anything else we can check, modify or ask our server host to adjust to help improve this situation? We’re not having this issue with any other theme.
Thanks!

Hello,
Our advice, as Chris stated, is to manually replace WordPress files via FTP. You can read about it in this guide
: https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress
Make sure you back-up your files before attempting to replace them.
I Hope you get it fixed. Let us know.
Thank you
I install your solution and it works fine.
<?php
if( is_front_page() ){
include_once('mobile-detect/Mobile_Detect.php');
$detect = new Mobile_Detect();
if ( $detect->isMobile() || $detect->isTablet() ) {
$redirect_url = 'http://www.tagweightloss.com/mobile';
header('Location: ' . $redirect_url ); // Redirect the user
}
}
?>
Hi
Please make sure you installed the child theme from the package downloaded from themeforest (Newspaper-tf > code > Newspaper-child) Here you can check our documentation regarding the child theme integration: https://forum.tagdiv.com/child-theme-support/ Make sure that the child theme it’s the active theme in Appearance > Themes. Also try to clear all caches deactivate the plugins except Visual Composer and test again.
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hello,
I would recommend a dedicated server with at least 8 GB of ram. If the server is with SSD storage that will help with full page caching.
For cdn, I would recommend that you use cloudflare with it’s 20$/month plan https://www.cloudflare.com/plans . This cdn also caches other static content besides the images and it can be configured to cache the full pages in case of traffic spikes.
The wordpress install should be configured to cache the full pages with https://ro.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/ – the SSD will help here. Or if you have at least ~16GB of ram you can use w3 total cache + memcached to cache the pages in RAM.
With a smaller budget, the theme should run on a VPS with 8 GB of ram + free cloudflare plan + caching plugin, please note that the theme only uses about 20% of the resources, the rest is used by WordPress itself, we benchmark it vs the default themes and I do performance audits periodically. My conclusion is that WordPress is a huge application 🙂 but if properly configured it can handle traffic well, mostly helped by full page caching.
Hi,
The updates are provided by us via the theme package, we try to deliver the latest versions with each update. The plugins are located in the ../Newspaper-tf/plugins folder – http://screencast.com/t/2Ri75hQV
In the case of Revolution Slider you have to
1. export your current sliders before you update
2. delete the current plugin and install the latest version
3. import the sliders saved on step one
For more details please check their official documentation – http://www.themepunch.com/faq/update-plugin-packaged-theme/
Revolution Slider and Visual Composer come with bulk license, this means that the plugins can only be distributed with the theme and only we can provide updates for them. You cannot update them directly from their developer.
Thank you!
Hi, we purchased the newsmag theme and were installing and realise that the css files are not in the download. Where are they?
Thanks
If we are to install all demo content is the idea to replace these posts one by one to build the site? Is this what most do or just install the template?
Yes, you can reinstall WordPress without breaking the theme.
See the WordPress.org website on how to manually install via FTP.
No errors.
I changed the theme and have the same problem. So the problem is with WordPress and not Newspaper.
Is there any way i can reinstall the WordPress files without disrupting the way the website looks? (perhaps only replacing certain folders that don’t get affected by themes or database settings etc.)
Thanks
Hi,
Please make sure that you use the latest version of Social Counter. To make sure please deactivate and delete it – http://screencast.com/t/IBddMaEHhq and install it from – http://screencast.com/t/nChxmG4W6I
Also check this without any plugins active except of Visual Composer and Social Counter, clear cache and see if you still have this issue. If the issue persist try to add a different id(fb, twitter..) see if the counter works then re-add your id so you will refresh it.
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks!
Hi,
You can change it using WordPress SEO by Yoast – https://ro.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/
After you install it a new panel will appear on each post – http://screencast.com/t/iQIkyecHTr1
Or you could modify the global options – http://screencast.com/t/trjNgbfGkw
Thank you!

Hi,
You have to setup a child theme install and customize it in the same way you have the main theme configured. Please use our child theme support tutorial: https://forum.tagdiv.com/child-theme-support/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Thanks for the message!

Hi,
You could try a plugin like “WP Super Cache – Clear all cache” to make sure you clear caches completely: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache-clear-cache-menu/ From all browser’s also: https://kb.iu.edu/d/ahic then test this again and check the cache plugin for options similar to this ‘Preload the post cache upon publish events.’ from W3TC: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/have-i-gone-crazy-with-the-amount-of-tools-for-speed-q/
Use this guide to setup wp super cache plugin: http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-install-and-setup-wp-super-cache-for-beginners/
Hope this helps!
Let us know how it goes!
Thanks!

Hi,
In Italy, following the European Cookie Law, is required to not install cookie before the user consent.
I’m using a plugin to do that but i’ve problem with adsense ads. I use the newspaper theme panel section to insert the ads, and as required by the “Cookie Blocker” plugin i wrapped the adsense code with special comments (COOKIE_POLICY_BEGIN, or END). The code is now like that:
<!–COOKIE_POLICY_BEGIN–><script async src=”//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js”></script>
<!– Adsense2 –>
<ins class=”adsbygoogle”
style=”display:block”
data-ad-client=”——-”
data-ad-slot=”——-”
data-ad-format=”auto”></ins>
<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script> <!–COOKIE_POLICY_END–>
I contacted the developer of the plugin because it doesn’t work. He analyzed the website and discovered that the theme was remomving the “Special comments”. He suggested me to use a plugin (like Quick adsense) to insert banner on my webiste and indeed using that the ads are blocked before the user consent.
I prefer to use the Newspaper Theme Panel to insert ads and not another plugin Can you help me ? Why the theme is removing the “special comments” ?
Hi Alin,
Thank you very much for the help.
The custom field area that was supposed to show up at the edit post page isn’t there. Do I have to install any specific plugin for this?
Cheers!
Hi there,
Just installed the theme with the default demo. Everytime I make a change in the theme panel and hit save settings it seems to work but when I go to my website and refresh no changes appears!!!!!
I’ve been trying to resolve this problem for the past 2 hours. I never had this kind of problems with other themes.
I’ve cleared the cache in IE 11 but still does not work. I’ve tried with Firefox, Safari and Chrome same thing.
I’m hosted at Hostgator
As for plugins I only have these 3 activated:
Akismet
WPBakery Visual composer
WP Super Cache
Theme status in theme panel indicates 3 yellow squares:
1.
30 – the execution time should be bigger than 60 if you plan to use the demos
2.
1000 – the max_input_vars should be bigger than 2000, otherwise it can cause incomplete saves in the menu panel in WordPress
3.
40 MB/request – We recommend setting memory to at least 64MB. The theme is well tested with a 40MB/request limit, but if you are using multiple plugins that may not be enough. See: Increasing memory allocated to PHP
Tried to increase memory allocated to PHP but it seems to be already done.
The file default-constants.php Line 18 to 29 is this:
// set memory limits
if ( !defined(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’) ) {
if ( is_multisite() ) {
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);
} else {
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’40M’);
}
}
if ( ! defined( ‘WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT’ ) ) {
define( ‘WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’ );
}
Hi Jeni,
We’re sorry for the inconvenience. The first “Server Error: blog/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/” happens when you try to access the theme’s index.php file directly, usually it displays a Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() and it shouldn’t be picked up by google’s crawler.
You can find more info about this in this tread: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/fatal-error-3/ and add a redirect rule for it.
For blog/search/ and for /blog/author/*my user name*/ Missing Author
/blog/ Missing Author please update your theme to the latest version available now on themeforest: http://themeforest.net/downloads then check the webmaster errors again. Let us know how it goes and please use this updated guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/ and make sure you backup your current theme/wp install and database also.
Hope this helps!
Thanks
