Just setting up my site after relocating it from wp.com. Have installed the theme, done everything the documents said about getting started, but there’s a big white box above the big slide and I don’t want it there. I want the big slide at the top. How can I remove this? Thank you

Hi,
This is a common issue using the speed booster plugin, regarding theme color you can try this solution.
Regarding fonts you can try to remove the fonts you don’t use from here and see if this makes a difference.
Of course the best way would be to disable the plugin.
Also try to delete and install the speed booster plugin from the latest theme version files (4.2) I have tested this and seems that this issue don’t happen anymore.
Thanks

I installed the newspaper theme today, and when I tried to regenerate broken images many of them were not able to be found. Now the only thing the website displays is a fatal error message:
Fatal error: Call to a member function set_defaults() on a non-object in /homepages/1/d488799202/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-event-calendar/app/model/class-ai1ec-settings.php on line 439
Note that if you install the demo, it’s easy to delete the associated posts, pages, categories, etc.
Just to report an issue I had today while installing the theme for the first time.
I could not use Chrome for Theme panel settings because for some reason it didn’t respond at all. The rest of wp-admin was ok.
I did all my admin jobs through Firefox.
I found later that it was this Chrome plugin [Google Publisher Toolbar v.4.3.3] that caused the problem.
I disabled it and everything works on Theme’s Panel.
Maybe a conflict….
You need to install the zip file for just the theme, not the entire package with docs and support information. Try the smaller zip file inside the big zip, or the second download from your themeforest download page which is just the installables.
Hi, I have installed the theme, and just have no clue what to do next. I have just converted my wp.com to .org and so all my featured images and media library have gone, but even so I can’t understand why at the top there is just a big black box. Also, it says it is listing my posts by the most recent first, but it isn’t – it’s got all my posts jumbled up.
I want my home page to be the same layout as the demo page. http://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/full_screen_preview/5489609
I don’t want to install the demo because I don’t want all it’s posts. What do I do? Why isn’t it laid out like in the preview?
Please help!! lifeisntjustaholiday.com
Hi,
Clear, i’ve installed 4.2.3 again and the big slider is working perfect again. I’ll wait till the next updat.
Thanks!
Hi,
Glad you have managed to solve this.
Unfortunately we haven’t made any tests with the VC at 4.3.2 version.
Usually when updating the theme we updated the plugin also but this time we haven’t updated the plugin as we didn’t managed to test it right.
Sorry about this.
Please install the plugin from theme’s files previous version. We will update the VC in the next update and fix this issue.
Thanks
addendum:
The problem appear after we install the lastest version of the theme.
Hi,
I just installed Newspaper and almost have the site ready to go. I would like to use the infinite scrolling template for my home page, but none of the prepackaged templates are available in the dropdown menu. Is there a way to add these?
Thanks,
Jason
Not having this issue, so no idea. Wait for Lucian to be back on Monday, as he may have suggestion. First option is usually turn off any oddball plugins to see if messing with stuff or try re-uploading the theme files manually via FTP to ensure nothing got crunched (I’ve had this happen with the zip installer via WordPress panel… so now I only trust FTP upload!)
You probably need to reinstall the plugin by uploading it via FTP from the themeforest “Newspaper” download, and replace the copy on the server; this is normal cause of that error from my own experience; meaning there is something missing or broken in the upload of the VC plugin folder.

Ok FYI if interested, I reinstalled again yesterday because of the things Steven told me.
Well Chris- I still use the W3 Cache (page only) and wrote the rest of .htaccess by myself, like u posted in another thread. (little bit proud on myself that it did not crash š )
Is everything ok with that or have any other suggestion?
See my current htaccess here:

As you can see I had to add the keep-alive code and other stuff like gzip- because otherwise GTMetrix would complain about that.
http://gtmetrix.com/reports/cherrykoks.de/4DKTK3Af I guess I can not influence the the both points about cloudflare?
The only thing I’m little bit confused about, is the fact that the mentioned code
foreach ($this->styles_for_footer as $style_id => $style_src) {
echo "<link rel='stylesheet' id='" . $style_id . "-css' href='" . $style_src . "?ver=" . $current_theme_version . "' type='text/css' media='all' />\n";
in the booster plugin causes my strings. Can I change that?
And:
in the Pagespeed guide from tagdiv I read this:
The plugin will move the theme and recommended plugins js and css at the page bottom. If you have other plugins installed you have to modify the Speed Booster plugin file so it will also move those files at end of the page. In the next section you will learn how to accomplish this.
4.2 To get the list of registered css and js add the following code at the end of the functions.php file:
function td_inspect_scripts() {
global $wp_scripts, $wp_styles;
echo ‘registered scripts<br>’;
foreach ($wp_scripts->queue as $handle) {
echo $handle . ‘ | ‘ . $wp_scripts->registered[$handle]->src . ‘<br>’;
}
echo ‘registered styles<br>’;
foreach ($wp_styles->queue as $handle) {
echo $handle . ‘ | ‘ . $wp_styles->registered[$handle]->src . ‘<br>’;
}
}
add_action( ‘wp_print_scripts’, ‘td_inspect_scripts’ );
SpeedBooster plugin ist runnin as you know, do I have to change that as advised?
The sentence with “If you have other plugins installed you have to modify plugin so it will also move those files”
Other plugins means = every plugin I’m using? No problem to add this code to functions.php – just wanna make sure if this is right.
Wow, I’m pissed right now.
If I reinstall everything and start from zero, I will have to activate the speedbooster plugin again, and when I do- the strings are coming back.
I’m not getting ahead with this crap -.-
I even don’t have categories installed – that’s weird. These are old categories from my last installation – and I deleted all from the FTP oO
Hey Steven
nice to read you, after my pal is making it stable
I will return to Cloudflare I guess
(I’m pro now in installing it) š and that’s a fact. But before I turn on CF – I want to clear the things.
yeah you’re right – I know that, but it’s frustrating when you read how to solve the things, and you try- and they do not work for you.
Ok now, here’s the story:
I deleted my whole blog because still having issues. So I reinstalled everything new (had the demo running, now own build) I also thought, that Cloudflare would be the problem- but it isn’t (right now I don’t use CF)
Christopher Simmons helped me a lot- so I was able to solve a lot of things on my own.
But there are still some things I can’t handle on my own (seems like it) – and I’m on the edge of despair.
FYI my installed plugins:
tagbooster, W3 Total Cache, wpSeo, Code Embed, TinyMCE, Animated Gif Resize, Antispam Bee, Async JS and CSS, Broken Link Checker, Contact Form 7, EWW Image Optimizer, Jetpack, Query Strings Remover, WP DB-Manager, Google XML Sitemaps and the Visual Composer.
No matter what I do (installing Query Strings Remover or adding a code to the functions.php) I STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE “REMOVE QUERY STRINGS”
I really need someone to help me fix this or show me how to! I’m so helplessly I could cry over this!
I would like to start with adding content, but this makes me really desperate
The claimed files are:
Remove query strings from static resources
C (70)
88%
Content High
What does this mean?
Resources with a “?” in the URL are not cached by some proxy caching servers. Remove the query string and encode the parameters into the URL for the following resources:http://cherrykoks.de/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/css/styles.css?ver=4.1
http://cherrykoks.de/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/external/bootstrap/td-bootstrap.css?ver=4.1
http://cherrykoks.de/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/style.css?ver=4.1
Next one is:
Specify a cache validator
A (90)
93%
Server High
What does this mean?
The following resources are missing a cache validator. Resources that do not specify a cache validator cannot be refreshed efficiently. Specify a Last-Modified or ETag header to enable cache validation for the following resources:http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Sans:400,700,400italic|Ubuntu:400,400italic|Open+Sans:400italic,400|Oswald:400,700|Roboto+Condensed:400italic,700italic,400,700?ver=4.1
http://gtmetrix.com/reports/cherrykoks.de/4u0OTZRR
Note: I use as fonts: Georgia and Times New Roman over the whole blog! I was reading a lot of threads with tips as “Comment them out” “delete it” and this is also not working. When I try to comment out in functions.php I get a syntax error. And to delete: I don’t know which lines, because my functions.php looks a little bit different.
The font problem also appears in :
Add Expires headers
B (89)
25%
Server High
What does this mean?
There is 1 static component without a far-future expiration date.
http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Sans:400,700,400italic|Ubuntu:400,400italic|Open+Sans:400italic,400|Oswald:400,700|Roboto+Condensed:400italic,700italic,400,700?ver=4.1
Page Speed Insights for example is complaining about the “above the fold” thing on mobile Devices and desktop, these are the same files- which GTMetrix claims with “remove query strings”
see here: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=cherrykoks.de&tab=mobile
Everything else is ok for me- but how can I solve the “few” problems.
I hope there’s an angel in this forum who can save me from getting nuts.
If someone of you needs any file information, let me know. I’m glad for any help with this!

Hi,
I installed the theme, together with demo data.
Right after i installed your empty child theme, included in the package, before any customization and the layout breaks in this way http://imgur.com/r3DTeRl
What should i do?
Thanks
Hi,
The Visual Composer version that was included in the last theme update(4.1) was 4.2.3 and works fine.
You can get the latest theme version from themeforest and install the 4.2.3 version of VC plugin.
We will add the VC latest version in the next theme update.
Thanks for the message

Hello Emil,
Thanks for your reply, please check again, CDN issue is sorted, the site is working properly with W3 Total Cashe and new WP and Newspaper 4.1, except its Theme Panel.
If I delete the theme from wp-content\themes and re-upload the old version, is it going to affect WP settings, menus, Templates created in Pages, categories and everything other changes made on the theme and WP?
What else safer can we do to leave the WP and Theme content intact?
I am lost mate, please advise on that.
Kind regards,
Mr Hossain
I enabled āTrack outbound clicks & downloads:ā in this Google Analytics plugin, and now when I click on images in the āBig Sliderā thatās installed with the theme, the links donāt work. The plugin adds this code to every anchor tag: onclick=”javascript:_gaq.push([‘_trackEvent’,’outbound-article’,’http://demo2.GoRare.com’%5D);” Iām pretty sure the javascript is conflicting with the javascript used in the slider. Please help. What other information do you need to make it easier to help me out?
Also in Firefox I get this message sent to the console everytime I click on the Big Slider with “Track outbound clicks & downloads” enabled, but not in Chrome.. “Empty string passed to getElementById().”
Hi,
Try to reupload the theme, if the issue is still there please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com , specify the issue and provide wp-admin and ftp access.
Thank you, Emil G.
When you download the theme, inside the zip file is a folder called “plugins” which contains the speed booster plugin. To install a plugin by uploading, go to Plugins -> Add New -> find the “this page” link in the first sentence -> upload the plugin zip.
I guess you have to try to recover your Envato account for the other question… since you’re able to log in here, at least your licence number for the theme is stored in this account somewhere, I hope.
I updated the theme to 4.1 but it’s giving me problem, Theme Panel does not open, opens up 404 error page! I donno if the issue is caused by the update or not.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
