Check the changelog to make sure you don’t need to replace files in the child theme also.
With a fairly new theme, the child theme can actually change dramatically and you may need to do clean install of child theme and then add your custom css and functions to the new versions of the child theme files.
May not apply to you, but this same issue happened with Newspaper theme the first 2 months. Theme went through rapid changes, so the child them changed with the main theme quite a bit, which sort of defeats purpose of child theme.
I find it’s safer to mod the main theme, and remove one CSS redirect, which Google prefers even though the WordPress folks love to do that.
Hi,
I try to install a social sharing plugins () but It won setup as it suppose to be on the top of the picture (like the one you already have on the theme), for some reason the social sharing button show up bellow the picture (see: http://prntscr.com/5r28v7). Can you help me with that?
Booster plugin is optional. See the theme docs on the installation process. It is a plugin, so unless installed it wont work.
Hi,
I have a few questions:
– Are the .less files in /less_files folder dynamically compiled by the theme or are they just used by the developers to compile it to a .css file, becuause I noticed that style.css and the less files have many lines of code in common? Otherwise I will remove the folder.
– Is the booster plugin automatically enabled when I install the theme, because the theme doesn’t ask me to install it like visual composer and the social plugin?
Thanks in advance,
Engo
Hi guys,
Apologies in advance for the question, I’m a beginner.
Anyway I have the demo installed and I’m creating my website around that. The issue I am having is that the homepage I want, only appears when I enter http://themucker.com/?page_id=27#. However when I enter http://themucker.com, or click the logo on any of the pages, I am taken to a different page.
How can I get rid of the page on themucker.com and make the logo, themucker.com and the home link on the pages all direct to http://themucker.com/?page_id=27# without having the ‘?page_id=27#’ after the domain.
I hope that made sense :S
Hello
How do I update the plugin tagdiv social counter?
I have already updated the themes and visual composer, but do not know how to counter social.
I have the v.2.7 and the theme are the v.2.8.
I unzip the zip file directly in the directory? uninstalling the old version and the new upload?
thanks

I saw Disqus on your site. Must be another plugin, conflicting. It’s not “just me”; it’s the install.
Thank you for letting me look. Will post follow up.
Well, I switched to the Newsmag parent theme and still Disqus is not working.
I did the Disqus setting of reset > then reinstall, each time. I’ve done that twice.
Wordpress comments always appear in between each reinstall on the post page, where they should be, but no Disqus.
I’m thinking this is a direct result of Newsmag v1.4 update.
I have a v1.3 Newsmag in staging and the comments are working just fine.

But, the v1.4 Newsmag update is not working, as far as Disqus goes.

Did you update something?
Did you install new plugin?
Link to page for example?
If the WordPress admin bar disappeared you likely have a problem with your WordPress install. You should probably do a clean install and make sure your site works properly with the default theme first, make sure you delete any plugins you don’t actually use; especially OLD versions of revolution slider which can be hacked, etc. Delete any oooold themes you installed but no longer use, etc.
Your site appears to be “working” …
but your home page looks like it has a whole bunch of incomplete, or broken modules.
You may want to start with the “blank” home page layout and drag in your own modules to start, so you don’t have all the empty, unfinished or unpopulated things which might be contributing to any errors you’re seeing.
Exactly my thoughts. I have been a Chrome user for a long time. I still have Firefox installed, because I want to see how things look for people using it. And, as you said, IE is also my gold standard for ordinary people. Be it at work, where nothing else is installed or people who are not technologically sound.
Either way, I love what tagDiv achieved!
Well, you still need to build your home page if it’s a new blank website.
Look at the ‘hello world’ post page to see if the styles have applied; at least that’s how it works for me.
Are you also clearing server side cache if you’re on a hosting provider that turns that on for your WordPress install for you (if you’re using a WP specialist host), and also if using CDN you need to release/update/expire stuff for the new CSS to load.
a) be sure not to test this with child theme
b) be sure to test this on real web server, not local install
a link to a sample page might be helpful 🙂
They work for me on Newsmag 1.3x (see ga-ga.com), tested in portrait mode on my iPhone 6.
I am installing 1.4 today and will double check “-)

Please help me
Hi,
Today I installed News Mag Theme. Theme is nice and working fine but I have few problems. Please look at that and give me solution
Website Link – http://www.top10wala.in
1. Mega Menu not working in categories, even though I selected Mege Menu while saveing Menu.
2. Below Trending now check blocks and images – Why images don’t cover whole block? Do i have to use certain size while uploading image?
3. Arrow navigation not working, from trending now to any block.
4. Smart Sidebar not working. Not on Home page not on Posts.
For now these are the problems i am facing.
Chris,
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I have tried it every way possible.. I just tried again. I only have visual composer installed at the moment. Just cleared cache and tried it. No go.
When I go to “import predefined styles” and click “Tech” it should change my homepage to the tech layout right? With the three post boxes across the top? If so, the site stays looking like a regular blog with the posts all in order going straight down? Nothing is on the sidebar either.
I’ve messed around with it all day trying to figure it out. I have no clue at this point..
Thanks
Not a theme issue; it’s because something tried to access the theme folder directly which nobody should do. Just like somebody trying to access /wp-includes/ or similar.
Normally you will get a 500 error or similar when changing / updating theme, one time. This is normal and not a flaw/bug; but how WordPress works and Google accessing something at same time update is being done, or if somebody trying to hack your site by testing the theme folder for vulnerability.
If you continue to get the error over and over beyond the normal happening from theme switch, you need to modify your WordPress install as noted here – it’s *not* a theme issue:

I had the same problem of Nitish. I say “had” beacause I believe I solved it. But not at all.
I try to explain. Sorry for my english…
I tried to empty cache, to compare source page of my site with original Newspaper, uninstall all plugins, reinstall them, change theme setting, change theme and reintall it. Nothing to do! Sharing on G+ a disaster…
Thumbnails were little and wrong, right the title, without meta description.
I followed the conversation between Nitish and Chris, here, and between Nitish and administrator TagDiv on Themeforest comments. Same frustration for me.
Today I noticed that the number of Thumbnails sharing on G+ was 30 and they were taken from the categories of “mega menu”, not random, but in order of menu. So, if I had in my menu for ex. “art”, “fashion”, “funny”, “sport” and my menu is “Mega menu”, G+ thumbnail was taken from the thumbnail of mega menu preview, in order: art, fashion, etc). If I moved category in menu switching place, thumbnail changes. Interesting, I said!
Going on with my experiment, I noticed that removing mega menu with sub category, thumbnails were correct! I supposed the gap was here. Now I removed [category with subcategory] from mega menu. All is ok. Sharing on G+ is perfect: correct title, correct thumbnail and correct meta description!
But I’d like to solve the entire issue ’cause megamenu with sub category is the peculiarity of this theme.
Hi,
You don’t need to update/activate it as the updated and latest version it is added within theme’s files so you just need to download the latest theme version(4.6.1) from themeforest: http://themeforest.net/downloads ..then update your theme using this guide and the FTP method: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/
After that remove the VC plugin and use this guide to install the VC plugin included within the /plugins folder that was included within the theme files you’ve downloaded from themeforest: https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
Thanks
Hi,
I see you are using the newsmag theme. That is why you don’t have the crop feature image option in theme panel as this is present just on newspaper theme.
Please address your questions on newsmag forum section on future: https://forum.tagdiv.com/forum/newsmag/
The big grid uses this two image sizes/thumbs: http://screencast.com/t/ucE2vOfWEy In order to change them you need to alter their sizes here: http://screencast.com/t/u1V0JjGCQNZR
Then regenerate thumbnails: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/
Then you need to alter/adjust the container width via css. Here is the css code for the big grid: http://screencast.com/t/9qRFpsCE
This is not easy if you don’t have basic php/html/css knowledge so I suggest to make a backup and get some to help you with hit if you don’t know how to do it yourself.
I suggest you make a backup of your current theme installation before you alter it and get someone to help you with it if you don’t know how to do it.
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Hi,
You can download it from themeforest: http://themeforest.net/downloads
Yes, you do as the latest version of the theme is 4.6.1 and the option in panel to show the author under the title was added in 4.4 theme version: http://screencast.com/t/elMDqViQ so please make sure you update your theme and you will also have this option.
Please use the theme update guide and use the FTP method and also remember to make a backup of your current theme installation so in case something goes wrong you can revert back to it. Here are the docs on how to update the theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/
Thanks
Hi,
I believe you refer to the Visual Composer issues which appear with older versions of VC when updating WordPress to 4.1
I have noticed you use already use the latest theme version(4.6.1) and also the latest VC version(4.3.5) which should work fine together as the VC was fixed in the latest version to work on WordPress 4.1 also.
I have noticed though some extra css, the one that adds the space between elements which should not be there so you could try to remove and re-install it from the plugins folder that was provided within the theme’s downloaded files and use this guide to do it: https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
After that remove the css I gave you and check if those space are still added.
Please let me know how it goes!
Thanks

Just downloaded the theme and I’m trying to set it up. Installed demo data then tried to select a different stack and nothing changes? The demo data stays on the default stack? What am I overlooking?
I’ve deleted the demo data and replaced it with my content and tried to change the style and it still will not work?
Thanks
Hi,
Thanks Giorgos!
@rimA Change this value to 6 to have 6 posts added to the big slider then use css to style it to look at you want it: http://screencast.com/t/7UvNHiaqvQ
Here is the css code for the big grid: http://screencast.com/t/9qRFpsCE
You also need to add a new image thumb or use the ones that already exist to build the grid, add your new image thumb here: http://screencast.com/t/noIcBcoufoqj and regenerate thumbnails afterwards. To regenerate thumbnails use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/
I suggest you make a backup of your current theme installation before you alter it and get someone to help you with it if you don’t know how to do it.
Thanks
