Dear Madam/Sir,
I’ve 2 questions.
1. Are these the only banners provided in this theme:
728 x 90 pixels v(Header)
en 300 x 250 pixels (sidebar)
If there are more options, where can we find them/install them?
2. Would it be possible to slide the banners? Meaning, we can add 2 or 3 advertisement in the same banner? If so, could you please give me instructions.
Thank you very much for your feedback, it’s highly appreciated!
Enjoy your day!
Best, Myra
Hi,
Our theme version is Newspaper 4.6.1.
I’m having trouble trying to get the latest version of Visual Composer 4.6.2. Currently we have installed Visual Composer 4.4.4.
How do I upload into my computer files the update? When I select Newspaper/includes/plugins/js_composer.zip from my downloads it only brings up the 4.4.4 version (I have it dated 24 April 2015).
Our site is http://cremafriends.com/
Thanks for your help.
Hi,
Please make sure that you use the latest version of Visual Composer plugin provided with the theme files. Just deactivate and delete it – http://screencast.com/t/ph5gRnKGJ then install the latest version from here – http://screencast.com/t/0RfbgDHUyW22
Thanks!
Hi Alin, just face the same issue as stated above.. it is a little weird of how this image crop is working.. if i see the demo install of newspaper default.. the image is set as featured with size 1068×712 or 1068×709 and in the demo install it is well sized either on the big grid layout, on the footer thumb block, on the search block.
this is my demo install http://demo.howtoproblem.com/. I refer to the post “Simple form creation and storage, built for developers.” Fyi. I have tried to resize my image manually from photoshop to 1068×712 then i set as featured and i run the regenerate thumbnails but on the search result block the image is not well sized.. if i inspect element it shows that the image is resized to 150x150px ? dohh.. could you give us the best tricks for this issue ? this really time consuming issue..
Thanks in advance. Have a nice day.

I can’t seem to solve or make progress on my Newspaper Theme performance issues.
I’ve got five friends that want to use Newspaper, too, if only I can get past my performance issues.
(They’re new bloggers, they like the idea of the theme, they’re a bit worried about my inability to fix my performance issues, or to find someone who can.)
My performance sucks (in the 40’s) with no clear remedy in sight.
Worse, when users hit my site the first time, the page loads blank (no images show)
If they reload the home page, then images show the second time, but after a flash of gray.
Here are screen shots:
* Empty Images – http://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/509260/1ae034f2ac380576a5dd1d8e49faed92
* On Reload – http://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/509262/dd0893dd0a1944de6aab6f0a9591e297
I haven’t seen anybody else’s site load like mine, where it’s all framed out with gray placeholders, and then, as if a second flash, the images then show up.
Here’s my setup at a glance:
* I’m hosting on Siteground.
* I use WP Rocket which is tested with Siteground — just default options.
* I’m using a CDN (Cloudflare), with default options.
* I have Gzip working.
* I use WP Smush Pro to smush all images (all images are smushed.)
* I used P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler) to analyze plugin performance.
I contemplated W3 cache (well, In installed it, but it was immediate conflict with WP Rocket, and WP Rocket’s feature compare shows superior in all regards, but I don’t have enough experience yet to know of it’s true.)
I get Chris’s point on the difference between buying a car, and driving the car. Well, now I want to know how to drive like the Mario Andretti. I feel like I’ve got the “owner’s Guide”, but not the “Driver’s Guide”. But actually, I don’t want yet another guide, I want a student driver model where I pay a consultant to show me the ropes for a couple of hours while fixing things, looking over my shoulder, or me looking over theirs.)
My images are probably the main problem, I don’t know how to fix them without doing weird acts of God, and I’m trying to keep posting simple and pragmatic, not build a better mouse trap with weird optimizations and even weirder workflow.

Tips
——————–
I’ve seen these tips:
* Chris S – Additionally, I use the WP-Optimize plugin to regularly optimize my WP dbase. Cutting 800kb out of your dbase once a week, or after a large number of posts/pages, also speeds up your system overhead. https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/what-is-your-googlespeed-value/
* Chris S – If you can hit 90+ on your desktop score and 85+ on mobile, you can live a happy life and not stress over it. https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/what-is-your-googlespeed-value/
* Chris S – – There are numerous resources on the net to learn how to set-up your web server account for gzip, expiration headers, optimize your images prior to uploading to your site, editing your htaccess file for WordPress, limiting use of resource hogging plugins unless absolutely necessary, etc., using W3cache with the minimal settings recommended in this forum from Radu/Marius (( QUOTE: w3 total cache use only the ‘full page cache.’ )) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/pagespeed/
* Radu – On the demo we are running a stock theme with our stock speed booster plugin! Also note that any additional plugins slow the theme down and lower the score in pagespeed. – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/what-is-your-googlespeed-value/
Tools
————
I’ve used these tools
* Google Page Speed – https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/
* GTMerix – https://gtmetrix.com/analyze.html
* Is compression working? http://www.gidnetwork.com/tools/gzip-test.php
* Pingdom Tools – reality test – http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/bGth8K/sourcesofinsight.com
* Web Page Test – http://www.webpagetest.org/
Google tells me my page speed sucks. Is Compression Working tells me Gzip is working. Pingdom tells me my images are bloated. GTMetrix fails with a 522 timeout and blames my CDN.
The quote that keeps me going is:
“Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”
I guess I’m getting stronger day by day.

Hello,
I all of a sudden cannot click on any item while using the visual composer on a new page. I cannot add an element, add a row, or select a template, etc. I go in to click on an item, but nothing happens when I click.
However, my homepage, which is a template I added when I first installed, I can still edit using the Visual Composer.
What can I do to fix this?
I went in and re-selected all items under the Administrator permissions, but it still doesn’t work. Please help!
Thanks!
on trying to fix issue of character count not working in text and textarea fields of cf7, the developer has replied directly on their forum stating it to be an issue with newspaper theme
(also having issues with a paypal addon to cf7 which may or may not be related – but first things first with the count function and javascript.)
currently running newspaper 4.3 – hadn’t intended on upgrading to 6 – basically just because of the time doing it and not being sure i really follow the process of saving and reactivating theme settings – if it is a known issue that would be resolved in the latest version i’ll do it – in which case please confirm the save settings is literally copying the export text out of the box into a text file to be copied/imported back in later. i have envato toolkit installed – can’t find anything telling me if this same export/import works with that, or only if you go for the wp delete and reinstall option.
if nothing to do with version appreciate any help on how i can make the java script run in cf7.
thanks

Hi,
Before I installed newspaper I had some add rss image size to the function.php file. Now I don’t know where to put in the newspaper function file to force the particular size in our Mailchimp rss campaigns.
I have tried several plugins, but they create a different url that won’t work with our new server.
Here is the code I was using:
add_filter('the_content_rss', 'featuredtoRSS');
add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'featuredtoRSS');
// Include Video Thumbnail in RSS Feed
function featuredtoRSS($content) {
global $post;
if ( in_category('videos') && has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ){
$content = '' . '<div style="text-align:center">' . 'ID) . '">' . get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'Featured Video', array( 'style' => 'float:none; display:inline; margin-right:auto !important; margin-left:auto !important; height:auto !important; max-width:525px !important; max-height:600px !important;' ) ) . '' . '</div>';
}
//Diana's comment this part is not used plus it looks unfinished
elseif ( in_category('cartoons') ){
$content = '<div style="text-align:center">' . 'ID) . '">' . 'Cartoon:' . get_the_title($post->ID) . '' . '</div>';
}
else {
$content = $content . '<br />' ;
}
return $content;
Can you help me with the correct why to achieve what I need to do or give me instructions on how to add this code to the newspaper function.php file?
Thank you so much for looking at this and helping me.

Hi,
I love this NewsMag theme, and it has (almost) everything i need in a theme. I have encountered a problem now though.
I’ve installed this plugin called “Sportspress Pro” and tried following its “theme integration guide” (link 1) to make it look as awesome as it does with their themes, but no luck so far (link 2).
Anyone have any suggestions to how I could be able to fix this?

I get the following error message when viewing the site after a demo has been installed:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function vc_column_offset_class_merge() in /home/recyclingindustr/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/vc_templates/vc_column_old.php on line 22
Can you please help to solve this problem.
Hello,
I have installed v6.2 of Newspaper theme on my website.
URL : http://www.naukrinama.com
I have few doubts :
1. I have created a Page Named States : http://www.naukrinama.com/state-jobs
Now just below the page title i want to show sub-category tags of this particular page like this :
http://www.naukrinama.com/government-jobs/
How can i do this ?
2. How can i remove the sorting dropdown in the right corner from Category pages where it gives options as (Latest, Featured, Last 7 Days,etc.) :
http://www.naukrinama.com/government-jobs/
3. Wherever Pagination is coming on Either HomePage Latest Articles or Category Detail Page and I change the page then the URL also gets changed. Because of it, duplicate meta-tags are getting generated in google webmasters.
For Ex. :
http://www.naukrinama.com/
http://www.naukrinama.com/page/2/
or
http://www.naukrinama.com/government-jobs/
http://www.naukrinama.com/government-jobs/page/2/
Can you tell me how can we switch pages without changing the URL (May be changing pages through Ajax or JS requests).
4. I have created a multi column page based megamenu named “States” on my website. But when i open it in Mobile layout then it is not getting visible. It only shows top level “States” option, and none of its sub-options are visible.

I have installed Newspaper on my website http://www.reizenoverdewereld.nl
I want a menu like the travel in this theme (http://themeforest.net/item/newsmag-news-magazine-newspaper/full_screen_preview/9512331). Is there an easy way to do this? I think I need to make a page, but is there a template or something?
Hi,
@marturano Please update the theme to the latest version 6.3.3 and the WP 4.3 should work without any issues – http://screencast.com/t/eZgM6VkAs Always make a full backup of your current installation(database and wordpress).
Thanks!
Hi

Hi,
on http://www.iphonologie.fr home page, we have installed the TOP article widget from the theme with 7 days best read articles and checked the “7 days sorting” in the news panel as advised.
The issue is that the posts displayed by the widget are not relevant and are very old.
Can you check and help us with that ?
Thanks and Regards.

Hello,
I have installed v6.2 of Newspaper theme on my website.
URL : http://www.naukrinama.com
Bydefault wordpress allows only text content in Category Descriptions. But i want to place HTML text in that section.
Now I found out a solution to this by using this plugin :
https://wordpress.org/plugins/allow-html-in-category-descriptions/
But if I use this plugin, it is incompatible with the Speed Booster Plugin of the theme, and it becomes disabled.
Can you tell me an alternative solution to this.
Hi Chris,
Initially we haven’t made any tests with older version of the themes and latest wp update however I have done some now and had no issues using just themes recommend plugins and Newsmag 1.7.1/Newsaper 4.6.3 on a clean database so it’s should work fine nevertheless you should still backup your current theme/db and wp install so you can revert if something goes wrong.
Thanks
Lucian C.
Hi Branstone,
I have checked your site and the post title has black color – http://screencast.com/t/mvVF6ooIPP Please check Custom Typography from panel and see what color is set there – http://screencast.com/t/H2zjgRjvflg
Also we did some tests using version 4(we created new database) of the theme and only the theme’s plugins active and worked with WordPress 4.3. If you want to update the wordpress version I suggest to make a full backup of your current installation(also wordpress), leave only theme’s plugins active and also wp-debug set on false – https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG
Thanks!
Hello,
I was using another theme at my website and recently switched to newspaper 6 and found out that WYSIWYG editor doesn’t show up when I hit the tab. On the other side, I can use Visual Composer and it is working ok.
Moreover, when I switch to previous theme or any other theme (like default Twenty Fifteen) the WYSIWYG editor shows up okay and can be used.
A couple of screenshots:
Simple text editor with Newspaper6 activated – http://upics.ru/images/2015/08/20/texta2dd9.jpg
WYSIWYG editor with Newspaper6 activated – http://upics.ru/images/2015/08/20/wysiwyg_nope528ed.jpg (doesn’t show up)
WYSIWYG editor with another theme activated – http://upics.ru/images/2015/08/20/any_other_theme_okay00327.jpg (works ok)
P.S. Important: I don’t yet have any caching plugins installed and apache doesn’t have pagespeed module enabled.
