Hi,
Please unzip the archive and install Newspaper.zip and the install the plugins that come with the theme files from the /plugins folder – http://screencast.com/t/qArRtUEkmX34
Also please check our documentation “how to install the theme”(A,B,C) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ also this video tutorial may help – https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Hope this helps!
Hi,
1. This will update only your theme to the latest version. You will have to delete the Visual Composer plugin – http://screencast.com/t/coHOReboyBp and install the new version – http://screencast.com/t/lR34ov0Gxn5D
2. The Speed Booster plugin is compatible only with plugins that it has been tested. A lot of people install the plugin without knowing what it does and after that they add many plugins and some of the plugins are not written fine so that’s the developer took this decision. If you want to always enable speed booster, delete this code from speed booster file: http://screencast.com/t/RZLIOPUNdqh
3. Please regenerate your thumbnails – https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/
Thanks!
Hi,
Thanks Chris!
@MissMyra Not really sure what you want to do, there is an option to install the demo without the content – http://screencast.com/t/Llv4BYBbY5d so like you can see in the screenshot it will import only settings like fonts color(no articles, pages, menus…) – depends what demo you install. Also if you want to uninstall you can do this from the same section – http://screencast.com/t/uiQJdyH8NG so it will remove all the content added(if you have installed demo with content) and your theme settings will be on default, you will have to customize your self.
Hope this helps!
Hi,
Please make sure that you use the latest theme version 6.3 and you also update the plugins that come with the theme files. Then check this only with Visual Composer and Tablepress plugins active, clear cache and purge your files and see if you still have this issue as maybe Tablepress is in a conflict with another plugin and not with the theme. I have also installed and activate this plugin but it did not caused any issues for tagdiv gallery – http://screencast.com/t/l0nWwR88
Thanks!
Hi,
It is specified in the documentation how to update your theme(A, B, C) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and also check this video for FTP update(if you update via FTP) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/ you will not lose any customizations, settings from Theme Panel, but the files modifications will be lost as all the files will be overwritten. If you use child theme for files customizations you will have to check update_log.txt file for each update and see what files had been modified so if those specific files are used in the child theme you will have to check your customizations to not break the functionality of the theme. From version 6.3 we have added a better support for child theme, please check – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/ – http://screencast.com/t/uonuDjnA6
Thanks!
Hi,
Please make sure that you update the theme properly using this guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and also disable all your plugins before update. After update please make sure that no files from version 4 will remain, to make sure of that you can try to update via ftp – https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/ then update also the theme’s plugins from the /plugin folder, activate it from here – http://screencast.com/t/ZtkWY5ykJgCh and make sure that you use the latest version – http://screencast.com/t/nn2stdsARkr check your site only with Visual Composer active and see if it works.
Please note that in version 6 any customization(to the theme files, custom css) from old version will not work and you will have to re-add them. In the “how to update” guide is specified that you will have to run the script that will import from database your settings, will change the shortcodes. Unfortunately you will have to re-add your widgets in the sidebars as some of them may not be imported or don’t exist anymore, also they will become inactive.
Thanks!

Hi,
Newspaper 6 should be regarded as a new theme, that’s why we recommend to make a clean install(I recommend FTP method) and make sure that no files from old version will remain there. Please note that in version 6 any customization(to the theme files, custom css) from old version will not work and you will have to re-add them.
This video tutorial may help more – https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/ Also please check this guide for Visual Composer – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
In the “how to update” guide is specified that you will have to run the script that will import from database your settings, will change the shortcodes. Unfortunately you will have to re-add your widgets in the sidebars as some of them may not be imported or don’t exist anymore, also they will become inactive.
Thanks!
Just now i have purchased the theme and suprised to see that I am not able to install this.
It says
Installing Theme from uploaded file: themeforest-5489609-newspaper-wordpress_theme.zip
Unpacking the package…
Could not copy file. Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/external/kint/scripts/source.vbs
Also you dont have provision to attach any image here , other wise i could have attached the screen shot.
Andrei is from TagDiv …
seems like you want to
a) uninstall demo content
b) install demo “styles” and *NOT* the content.
c) then customize for your desired layout.
That plugin is not maintained and people have reported issues with that plugin.. it’s not really wise to install an unmaintained plugin such as Animated GIF Resize, i’m surprised tagdiv still mention it..
There has to be another work around to this
Hi
Please check this link with the update details: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/ you can install envato wordpress toolkit to update the theme automatically. For more security I can recommend to back up your site before the update, in case somethings goes wrong you can get back to the old version. Here you can find details about the back up: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
Thanks!
Hey Andrei,
Thank you very much for your input. Unfortunately it is not helping us since we do want the demo so we need to install it.
Will wait for the reply of Tagdiv 🙂
Thanks Again!
Hi
I am not sure what you mean but the demo from here http://screencast.com/t/GhZPOL0QY are made with the same theme as a guide to help the user to create his own pages and posts. If you already have your own content, it’s not necessary to install a demo, because the demo pages will be published automatically, and the theme works fine without any demo installed. You can uninstall the demo to remove the imported pages from your site.
Hope this will help!
Ok here’s my obvious query that how to properly update my theme without creating any mess? I remember the last time I updated my theme using Envato’s auto-updater plugin, my site went down and showed tons of fatal errors.
The problem was so intense that I had to do a clean WordPress install and installed theme after it (due to caching problems) lol.
So please suggest me a better and easy way to do this because this time my site is loaded with lots of customizations that I can’t risk to lose them at all!
And one more thing, does this update brought the child theme customization functionality over main theme support?
Regards
Hi
Newspaper 6 must be regarded like a new theme and before update you should consider the following aspects:
– backup your current theme/WordPress/database: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
– empty all caches/purge files if you also use CDN host then disable any services of this type until you switch to the new theme
– setup a maintenance mode (if your site is live) and you can use a plugin for that
– disable all plugins
– install the theme then install the required plugins
– switch back the rest of the plugins and start other services
Also you can check our documentation here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ Notice that it’s important to back up your site, in case something goes wrong, you can get back at the previous theme version.
If you have any custom modification in the code or custom css will not work in version 6 of the theme.
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks!
Hi,
Please make sure that you do a clean update like is recommended in this guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and also update the theme’s plugins that you can find them in /plugins folder from package downloaded from themeforest. Newspaper 6 should be regarded as a new theme, that’s why we recommend to make a clean install(FTP should work fine) and make sure that no files from old version will remain there. As you can see on your site – http://screencast.com/t/i0f9rupEtG1s Please note that in version 6 any customization(to the theme files, custom css) from old version will not work and you will have to re-add them. In the “how to update” guide is specified that you will have to run the script that will import from database your settings, will change the shortcodes. Unfortunately you will have to re-add your widgets in the sidebars as some of them may not be imported or don’t exist anymore, also they will become inactive.
Hope this helps!
Hi,
When you update your theme, you will lose all custom modifications to the theme files, you will not lose any theme settings/option/colors/custom css from Theme Panel.
And there are tutorials how yo update/install the theme – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and also video tutorials – https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Thanks!
Hi,
Please make sure that you have installed and activate the Visual Composer plugin – http://screencast.com/t/PRGQFmeQXKo
Thanks!
Replied here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/demo-installer-stucked/
Hi,
Do you get any errors when you are trying to install the demo? – https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
Please provide more details about your issue, what do you mean it doesn’t have the same look?
Installing the demo with content will import some pages, articles, menus, fonts… Also you can install it without the content so it will import only fonts, colors… no predefined content.
Thanks!
Hi I have bought this theme along with the Sahifa theme.
I have to say for the magazine side of things this is way better and more powerful for layouts (very confusing) but i see wht it has to be to get the power!
However being a national magazine we also do “shop the look” and a variety of deals to sell products we feature in the magazine.
The problem is that the woocommerce integration is no where near complete, there is no shopping cart icon in the menu which is a woocommerce class that should be hard programmed into the them as with every other woocommerce them out there. so i am using the woocommerce show cart plugin which is not ideal to be adding lots of plugins.
The documentation for woocommerce integration is none existent and the sidebar selection doesn’t work properly.
I need to be able to create a beautiful store from with featured products and special offers with a nice big header that pulls out the latest reviews.
Also you demo theme has a different footer in the woocommerce page than in the rest of the site this is also something required as it won’t do it on my theme so not sure how you guys did it? maybe its a different domain?
Also when reviewing a product we would need a buy it now button in the final thoughts comment box next to the rating so people could click and go to the store product to purchase?
Anyway it all seems very very close to me and with a little extra working could definatley be the best theme out there for shopping as well as magazines.
I installed sahifa first and have this running at the moment but can’t make the switch as intended. Coule you let me know if there are plans to expand on the woocommerce side of the theme or not please so i can make relevant plans for a switch over.
I would be using 2 licenses for 2 sites but also have my wifes 2 sites that i would probably buy 2 more licenses for and switch those over too.
You guys really are onto something here as we all know that content is king and if we can run our ecommerce sites at the back of the reviews and blogging section it makes for a better website but we have to be able to create a beautiful shopping home page!
Thanks for reading and i hope you decide to take that extra step.
JK
Thank you Philip! I’m installing it right now 🙂
Hello!
First of all, congrets with launching the new theme!
I’ve bought Newspaper 4 a while ago and now we installed Newspaper 6. After installing Newspaper 6 we installed the fashion demo theme, the problem now is that on my own website all kind of content of the Fashion demo theme is placed, combined with my own content. Obviously I only need my own content. How can I install the Fashion Demo Theme, without the demo content. Thank you very much for your quick reply!
Best, Myra
