I would like to perform a split test on this theme playing on different factors like colors, outline, layout etc.
How do you recommend I do that?
Can I just clone the theme and have separate installations and theme folder so I can play with variables including ad formats?
Regards.
Hi,
Please make sure you update the theme to the latest version (1.5) as we have fixed this issues in latest theme version.
Use this guide and the ftp method and make sure you also make backup of you current theme installation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/
Thanks
Thanks Alin,
I was looking to actually have each category feel like they are separate sites. So the Logo should also change at the top of the page. Is this possible? The Demo makes it seem like it is all on one wordpress install, but is that the case or are they all separate installs on the Demo?
Thanks for your help!
Hi,
You can install our demo and import predefined styles, please follow this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-the-demo-data/
For each category you can set a module to display articles list, also you can set background: http://screencast.com/t/AETetusiSWNj
Result: http://screencast.com/t/FkSDB43p
Please follow our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-documentation/
Let me know if you have any issues related to the theme.
Thanks!
Hi
I’ve installed ‘Newspaper’ on an existing blog.
Trying to setup up a static homepage as per instructions (https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage/)- I’ve used ‘module 6’
My page is; http://www.byronbayblog.com.au/2894-2
None of the images from my old posts appear, and I tried a new post – and still no images appear on the page.
I’m guessing I’ve missed something simple – could someone point me in the right direction.
Cheers
I have reinstalled the theme from Default and it seems to work now
Hi, I just downloaded the theme and it is VERY impressive.
I just had a question. How can I get the theme to act exactly like the demo here:
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/
Ideally I would like each category to have its own style:
Style 1:
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/
Style 2:
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag_fashion/
Style 3:
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag_tech/
Are these all on the same wordpress install or does each have its own install?
Please advise I would really like to have multiple styles for each category!
Thank you for making such an awesome Theme!
Hi,
Please update your theme if you don’t use the latest version 4.6.1 use FTP method: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/ and Visual Composer plugin following this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/ and also remove and install the VC plugin from the /plugins folder which came with the theme files. If you use the latest theme version you should have Visual Composer version 4.3.5.
Also if you still have issues please try this without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer active and clear cache.
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks!
Hey guys,
I recently installed Newspaper on my domain. Everything is great, thanks for this amazing theme, I got a lot of positive feedback!
This is a straight forward question with a probably complex answer I’m guessing. I am having issues with page load. According to Google pagespeed test, it’s my images. I also ran the YSlow add-on for Chrome and it said something about external Javascripts and stylesheets, no expiry for headers, and CSS in the body.
For the images, I tried optimizing as much much as I can. I tried EWWW, Smush.it, Imsanity, and Regenerate Thumbnails as recommended by you. Nothing seems to solve my images issue. I might be doing something wrong.
I went through a lot of the forum posts regarding this issue, but I can’t seem to solve mine. To be honest, I am not good with coding, as some posts mentioned code editing. I believe they were posts by Chris if I’m not mistaken.
Can you please have a look into this issue and advise me on what should be done? I wasn’t having this load issue with my previous theme.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

I have been trying to install one of the most popular australian Real Estate Plugins, Easy Property Listings. Well, please have a look at the result:
http://news.mynarrabri.com.au/rental/2-story-family-home-rent/
I contacted the provider and after they had a look they informed me stating that your theme was NOT programmed in accordance with the WordPress Guidelines. So they refuse to help and support.
This is what they initially suggested to do:
http://easypropertylistings.com.au/docs/setup-wordpress-theme-easy-property-listings-2-0/
Well, the part that I am supposed to adjust can NOT BE FOUND in your files.
Would be great to get your input as I need this plugin !
Thank you !
Hello everyone! I’m setting up my wordpress site, and everything was just peachy until thursday. I didn’t knowingly install any new plugins nor did I update anything, but for some reason, if I try to upload any images, I get the following error:
“Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING or ‘(‘ in /home/fazen862/public_html/wp-content/plugins/gif-image-resize/Bbpp_Animated_Gif.php on line 2”
Everything else on the site seems to be working perfectly, and the images I have uploaded before are just peachy. I originally noticed this while trying to upload my logo in newspaper. I already combed through the official wordpress foruns looking to similar situations, and I’ve already went through some solutions, but none of them solved the problem: I’ve double checked that I didnt install any new plugins since I last uploaded images and I’ve double checked the ftp file permissions. I don’t even know if this error is in Newspaper or in WordPress, but I’ve seen people with similar error that just had to change one character in the mentioned line in their .php file and it fixed the error, but I couldn’t code my way out of a wet paperbag using sharp scissors… Can anyone help me?
This is the beginning of the code in the aforementioned file (I’m pretty sure Line 2 is included in there):
<?php
use gdenhancer\GDEnhancer;
class Bbpp_Animated_Gif extends WP_Image_Editor_GD {
public $image_animated_gif = null;
public function save( $filename = null, $mime_type = null ) {
$is_animated_gif = GifFrameExtractor::isAnimatedGif($this->file);
if (!$is_animated_gif) {
return parent::save($filename, $mime_type);
}
$saved = $this->_save_animated_gif( $this->image_animated_gif, $filename, $mime_type );
if ( ! is_wp_error( $saved ) ) {
$this->file = $saved[‘path’];
$this->mime_type = $saved[‘mime-type’];
}
return $saved;
}
Thanks Chris ! I solved it by deleting and reinstalling the plugin.
You can install one theme per website. To use theme on more than one site you need an additional license per site.
This is covered in the Envato/Theme Forest license information when you bought the theme, fyi.
You can install it more than once for testing/development.

I have NEWSMAG installed

Hi
The regular license is allowed install in another domain?
Hello,
I have a problem. I installed the WP Job Manager plugin and I cant see the ads in Internet Explorer and Firefox (you can check this out: http://dojczland.info/praca-w-niemczech/). There is an error: Uncaught ReferenceError: td_block is not defined
site.js?ver=4.5d:1224 Uncaught ReferenceError: td_ad_background_click_link is not defined
site.js?ver=4.5d:814 Uncaught ReferenceError: tds_more_articles_on_post_pages_distance_from_top is not defined
If anybody know how to fix it, I would be glad for an answer!
Best regards,
Adam
You also need to use the older version of visual composer…. basically
First, switch to default theme
then turn off all plugins
1) delete /wp-content/plugins/js-composer
2) delete theme folder
3) install theme – old
4) install js-composer for that version (bundled)
turn on visual composer -old
activate theme -old
turn on plugins once working.
My visual composer needs a license for activation ???
Do i need to make a purchase? I follow all the steps , installed the jd_composer zip file but still asking me to purchase a license..
I think you just need to upload the child theme from the main installer files (the big all files download from Theme Forest); and then go to the appearance settings and then “activate” the child theme. Make sure the child theme is the SAME VERSION of the main theme, however!
Hi,
The creator of this plugin has offered to install it on my site but says I would be best to create a child theme first.
Can you please explain how I can create a child theme since I have already installed the main Newspaper theme so don’t know how to install the child theme after this.
Thank you.
Derek
Hi Alin,
To exclude all I have also removed and reinstalled the theme. You never know, but this had no effect.
Here is the link:
http://pastebin.com/EaikZ1Nm
Thanks!
Note I am having various issues on our server actually getting the 4.1.1 update to even run; and so we’re waiting on 4.1.2 as that issue with updating has never happened before. May not impact you in any way, but if you see “nothing happen” when clicking the update button on your server/install of WP, it’s not just you. Some other folks have reported some issues with the media manager, also (not related to theme).
Not a theme issue.
You need to check your WordPress install is setup properly.
Often if you think it’s a theme issue, then switch back to default theme for WordPress to debug login.
Note I have been having a LOT of trouble trying to update WP to 4.1.1 and am not recommending that until 4.1.2 personally.
Hi,
Install WordPress SEO by Yoast, edit each category and set a description – http://screencast.com/t/reasfsGBK
Thanks.
Hi Alin,
and thank you for the reply.
I have not uploaded any background-image (Theme panel -> BACKGROUND). And I’m not able to find a place to explicitly turn off background-image for the entire site, I thought it was turned off if no background image was uploaded to the Theme panel.
For the page itselves, I am using the “Homepage – bg – no article list” setting (have tried others too, but as I said with the same result). When I install the Theme locally (xampp) with the demo-content, I see the page “td_d_slug_4” has achieved the result I want – and it uses the “Homepage – bg + with article list” (using this on my site does not work either).
I must be missing some information here 🙂 Hope you are able to help me further
Regards
