I have now reinstalled Revolution slider but still the same problems.
Except from Akismet I only installed the plugins that the theme demanded I install. And they have been there from I first installed the theme.
What else could be the problem?
Hi,
1. We know about this issue with version that appear and we try to fix it soon as possible. If you have used this guide and updated properly your theme using ftp method: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/ you should have the right version installed even that doesn’t appear 4.6.2 version. Sorry for inconvenience!
2. Please try this css code in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/apAEkwYWjfrS
#rev_slider_1_1_wrapper {
z-index: 0;
}
Thanks!
After updating Newspaper theme to version 4.6.2 and then the plugin Visual Composer to version 4.4.2, there is no changes in the available elements that I can use. I mean, when I want to add an element, they are the same that in the previous version, I cannot see new elements such as post or portfolio grid.
I have followed the steps that you detail in the forum to update the plugin (deactivate, delete and install the new one), and, in fact, the plugin version has changed (to 4.4.2.), but the elements are the same.
Best way to install is via FTP, using just the theme zip only; do not try to upload the “all files” zip via WP panel – won’t work.
Hey Guys, yesterday i’d installed newspaper in my wordpress but i change my hosting so i download the last version of newspaper release today, but wordpress dont allow me to install it, after upload newspaper.zip i get message “are you sure you want to do this?”
Note Visual Composer and JetPack have long history of on/off/on/off problems, including images, the sharing tool, publicize, etc., and nothing to do with the theme itself. Sadly TagDiv cannot “fix” any issue with VC and other plugins.
You can try going back a version on Visual Composer, as that will sometimes work.
Alternately, consider that you may need to “freeze” your setup in between versions while compatibility issues between things “catch up” to changes.
So, “go back” to what works, then wait a dot revision on everything and test again.
If you’re using a high value production site, you can also consider making a test install someplace, such as a sub-domain, or even a sub-directory of your site, and test the plugins work together after version changes — then don’t propagate to the production version if one plugin doesn’t work well with another.
The great thing about WP is having the hooks and plugins to extend what it does; the bad thing is that all you need is one “bad actor” to load jquery wrong, or use a common class name, or something else, and it breaks all the pipes.
I’m sure you already know all of that, but just some input on this which I’ve had to suffer myself with 10 years of WordPress shenanigans.
I have reinstalled and I have solved the problems.
Thank you for your attention.
I just updated to Newspaper 4.6.2 after activating the child theme of the previous install (3.9.1). Everything seems okay on the visitor side, but I noticed some problems with the theme panel. Specifically, the Categories and Custom Typography options do not show any dropdown choices. The arrow on the right toggles to open the panel, but then it is just a small white line instead of the full array of choices. For example, I would frequently open a new category to adjust the display view and to hide the category on a post. Now, I cannot do that.
What am I missing?
Hi,
i just downloaded the update from themeforest, but when I overwrite my 444 Version with this it shows me now in the theme-details in wp, that I hav 4.6.1 installed – but on the website it says it should be 4.6.2! Can you please check the file on themeforest.
2nd Problem. On http://www.stoerrischeresel.com I have a revolution slider included – unfortunately the drop-down menu is shown behind the slider. How can I fix this?
Thank you for helping me with those 2 issues.

Hi,
struggling for this to work in newsmag I found two alternatives I would like to share:
1. Do the same as this,
but add one item to the array named ‘installed_post_types’ with the post-types needed:
‘installed_post_types’=>’post,page’
This approach has the disadvantage of touching the theme source code.
2. This is kind of tricky: create a child-theme and a new folder named ‘override’ or whatever. Copy td_block_mega_menu.php to that folder (Note that this file is internal and is not overriden by the general child theme method described in the documentation). In that copy, change render method to add ‘installed_post_types’ to the array before performing the query as in the previous paragraph.
Now, in your functions.php create a hook for ‘after_setup_theme’. This will be get called after parent newsmag/newspaper theme is finished.
Then you will have to change the api file for the megamenu block, invoking td_api_block::update_key (‘td_block_mega_menu’,’file’,FULLPATHTOMYNEWFILE);
Now when a megamenu is to be created, the overriden file is chosen instead of the core one.
This method is valid for updating some api blocks and files without touching parent theme.
P.D. Forgot to mention, first of all you should add category taxonomy to pages, using a plugin or in child-theme with register_taxonomy_for_object_type
Best regards
Hi,
Please make a backup of your plugins installed and after that delete them. Probably it is from a plugin this error, I don’t think that it is from the theme.
Thanks!

Hi,
I updated Newsmag to 1.6, and I also updated td-speed-booster plugin.
But after I remove the old plugin, and install a new one.
There are 2 speed booster in WordPress –> Plugin, one is 3.2 and another is 4.0
4.0 is activated and 3.2 is not activate.
When I remove it, WP will show td speed booster 2 times.
Is that a bug?
thanks

Hi,
Sorry for the inconvenience and for the delay!
Please download the latest theme version(4.6.1) from themeforest: http://themeforest.net/downloads
Update the theme to the latest version using this guide and the FTP method: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/ make sure do a backup of your current theme installation before updating it so you can revert back to it if something goes wrong.
After updating your theme remove the Visual Composer plugin and update it using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
At the moment version 4.3.5 of the VC plugin is include within the theme files but we plan to release an update during this week in which we will include the latest version of the plugin(4.4.2).
Please let me know how it goes!
Thanks
Hi to everyone. We use Newsmag from the moment it came out and we have no problems, the theme works very well. We have only a small problem with the comments (already exposed in the past). The default comment system is not perfect. For example, if we are blurring the closing comments after 14 days, the comments are closed regularly but the theme doesn’t show the comments already present in the article. We momentarily resolved the problem by installing a third party plugins (comment plus) but we don’t like it, comments are confused. Is Not done well. We’d try Jetpack but do not know if it is compatible and then by a test done on a web site of test does not seem to solve the problem. How can we solve?
Hi,
I tested this exactly with what you have there, but I was unable to recreate your issue: http://screencast.com/t/K2Kkp0xmm – http://screencast.com/t/GyV1vddViV
Please try this without any plugin active, leave only Visual Composer and that plugin active also empty cache and see if the issue is still there. Also try to reinstall the plugin if the issue persist.
Thanks!
Hi,
First please make a backup to your current theme installation if you update so in case something goes wrong you can revert back to it. Major change was in version 3.7: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-v-3-7/
If you want to update please follow our guide and use ftp method: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/ also please update plugins that come with the theme’s files-you can find them in /plugins folder.
You can take look here and you will find all changes till current version: http://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609
Also if you don’t want to update to the latest version and need another version of Newspaper please send your request at contact@tagdiv.com and also include a link to this topic.
Thanks!
I installed not works predefined styles i am changing from admin not changes on frontend
I have a problem with the backend of the theme that causes the 504/502 errors on the site when we get a spike in traffic. The backend and the front of the site will become unresponsive for a couple minutes at the time due to this. We have it hosted on a premium tier 1 plan with WP Engine so the server shouldn’t be an issue. We get about 1.5 million page views a month and climbing.
This is the ticket reply I got from the tech team at WP Engine:
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Hey there, Sasha!
It was a pleasure speaking with you over the phone earlier! I truly apologize for all of the delay!
Upon investigation into the time the server load spiked, I see the only install affected with 504/502 errors was *******. I can see /admin-ajax.php was hit about 21 times in a minute on that install. This is quite high and will definitely cause 504/502 errors. The highest hits I calculated in a 10 minute window:
160 [action] => td_ajax_update_views
54 [action] => heartbeat
40 [action] => td_ajax_block
I searched in your plugins/themes to see what could be causing this high of an admin-ajax hit and found the following paths:
wp-content/themes/Newsmag/includes/wp_booster/td_ajax.php
532:function td_ajax_update_views() {
555:add_action( ‘wp_ajax_nopriv_td_ajax_update_views’, ‘td_ajax_update_views’ );
556:add_action( ‘wp_ajax_td_ajax_update_views’, ‘td_ajax_update_views’ );
wp-content/themes/Newsmag/js/tagdiv_theme.js
3249: page_type_action = ‘td_ajax_update_views’;
What I recommend is taking these details to a developer or the theme developer to limit the admin-ajax.php requests way down.”

How can we get this sorted out?
thank you,
Sasha
