Hi!
@Radu A
Hum, I didn’t modify something. But maybe something went wrong during the last update (to 3.8). I will try to re-install it.
hi,
I have search the theme for ‘vc_row el_position’ and found it only on td_first_install.php file.
this file is used only when importing the demo content.
can you paste the link to your site so we can check it out.
Thanks for you message.
Radu A.
hi,
the theme is loading 5 fonts from google : http://screencast.com/t/3UDpAv1BN
are you using custom typography options? http://screencast.com/t/pScPd9G6A7n , if yes this is a source from where fonts can load. another source for fonts are the plugins that you have installed.
Thanks for you message.
Radu A.
Hi,
Yes, is correct. I don’t know what to say, for me works great and i have tried on multiple installations. Try to disable all plugins ore one by one and see if works.
Thanks!
hi,
I have just tested the log in modal window on my computer, it works.
the reason why I’m telling you to install a fresh copy of wordpress and our theme (no plugins) is to be sure not to have conflicts between other plugins and the theme.
lancelot if you have “Fatal error: Class ‘td_login’ ….” your theme is incomplete or you have modify something.
Thanks for you message.
Radu A.
1. If you’re talking about typography then yes, there are two different size of fonts used for the blocks. Some blocks have a larger layout than others. Play with it on a local install and you’ll see fast how that works.
2. tagDiv team should handle this one.
3. Unique articles means on that page where you enable it, no article will show up more than once on that page. It filters duplicate entries from the post loop on that page only.
Thx
Not exactly the kind of issue I had… I messed up.
For your problem, unfortunately, you must upload the whole theme fresh since you missed the patches – that’s the most sure-fire way to get it done.
If your customizations are in all in the Custom CSS tab of the theme panel, then they are safe in the database.
If your customizations are all in the child theme files then they are safe from a full install of the parent theme.
If your customizations are all in the parent theme then you have just a few choices and none are great.
1. Never update the theme again, which also means you can’t upgrade to WordPress 3.9 as 3.6 and below of the theme aren’t compatible with WP 3.9
2. Best Option – Move your customizations to the child theme and Custom CSS of the theme panel so you don’t lose them on future upgrades to the parent theme ( Here’s Newspaper child theme documentation – https://forum.tagdiv.com/child-theme-documentation/ )
3. Worst Option – copy all of your customizations to Newspaper 3.8, meaning you’ll have to do that with each update
4. You could go through all of the updates since version X to 3.8 compiling a complete list of modified files, but if you miss one your site will likely break ( 3.7 had a major change, see https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-v-3-7/ for instructions to convert the Visual Composer to a plugin )
Wish the news could be better. Good luck.
In the meantime, I installed WP Modal Login.
Hello. I have a question. My WP install shows I am using version x of Newspaper theme. I can’t find the patches to go from version x to 3.8. I realize I can reinstall everything, but there are quite a few customizations I don’t want to lose in the processing of updating.
What is the best approach to this in your opinion? It looks like you had similar issues.
Thanks.
Philip
Hello. I haven’t updated my theme for a while since all was functioning properly. I noticed you have several updates and I just applied the patch for 3.7-3.8. However, I believe I missed previous patches and so I am getting errors and needed to reinstall everything from my previous version. Do you have a cumulative update patch so I can make the update from my current version to 3.8? Or, do you have another method/instructions that I can use that will not completely lose formatting and customizations I’ve made. If I overwrite everything with the latest version all my customizations get wiped out. WordPress currently shows me as having version 3.x of Newspaper theme.
Thanks.
Philip

From this area of building a homepage I click the Manage Sidebars link and get this…
http://screencast.com/t/BO6Ho82fE
What’s up with that?
It’s been doing that since I first purchased the theme, which was 3.0 or 3.1, but I found ways around it and didn’t mention it here.
This is on three different domains ( 2 Demo sites installed for testing this ), same server, no two have the same plugins enabled and I am the sole super admin from WordPress installation in all cases. All are currently running Newspaper 3.8 and WP 3.9.
I can still manage sidebars from the categories layout options in the theme panel but that’s obviously just a work-around for this error.
Thx
Well, with a dedicated server with 12 cores (XEON), and 32GB of ECC RAM, RE4 RAID 5, blah blah, we should be able to generate images locally using image tools already on board the system (e.g., ImageMagick, old GD Libs etc.).
For our purposes creating external accounts to handle image creation and placement across multiple news portals is needlessly complex for our needs if we can do it “on site.”
So right now we have a plugin which will create a local “thumbnail set” per theme and media sm/med/lg, and then set featured image from both locally hosted ftp images inserted via relative URL (not using media manager) and will post to media manager; will do the same with external images placed inline, but pulled from the main news hub (not locally hosted); and will also not interfere with locally created articles which have images uploaded via media manager and placed inline at top and flush right within body text.
Testing the next step, which is separate element/task which takes the featured image set either automatically or manually, and then creates the zoomed/cropped/enlarged versions and saves to media location so that theme can pull that size for the featured images on category pages and home page. This also uses the server side built-in image processing horsepower without any external I/O.
Once posted images are further optimized by mod_pagespeed and cached server side.
Stay tuned 🙂
I am testing this momentarily, in fact (Fri. May 2, 2014).
Expect either happy face or frowny face once I try this.
Also installing upgrades to our ecom system which is always a barrel of monkeys (for those of you old enough to remember that). 🙂

Hello,
I have the latest version of newspaper installed but I can’t change the main menu font color from black to white. There is no option in the theme panel (see screenshot: http://www.autozirkus.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/newspaper.jpg)
On another installation (not latest version) there is an option to change the font color…
Could you please check that?
The website is http://www.autozirkus.net
Thanks!
Florian
I have updated alatest version of theme. and when i installed child theme and activated then many problem occur. Pages not displaying properly. See scrennshot http://i.imgur.com/cVitA9H.jpg
I’ve just created a fresh new install of “WP 3.9 / Newspaper 3.8 with Demo content” on this server.
The problem is the same with the Login Form:
- can Register
- but cannot Login (continus “Please wait…” message)
hi,
do a test,
install a fresh copy of wordpress and our theme on your computer (no plugins).
use xampp to have mysql and apache web server: https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html
try to see if it works on your computer.
be sure to have this enabled: http://screencast.com/t/PxluuBkc
Thanks for you message.
Radu A.
hi,
I see that you have many plugins installed, can you please disable all of them and try again (might be a conflict between plugins)
Thanks for you message.
Radu A.
@Donkified You bought something and are having a unique issue (One that hasn’t been mentioned anywhere on this forum or the comments on Envato) that Marius has generously offered to fix for you (Theme installation and setup is not a free service included with theme purchase). You have declined him access for a first hand look. I’ve done this kind of support before and first-hand is the fastest way to get it done. Relying on an inexperienced blog owner (No offense intended at all) to give programming details is always slow, frustrating, and barely eventually as effective as just looking at the code.
So yeah, CHILL OUT A BIT…
chill out? im chilled out. I bought something, it doesnt work, i want it fixed. Simples.
Marius offered to fix it more than once, you declined. Let him help. Otherwise…
As far as the white screen loading, Newspaper is a website them, not a WordPress admin theme. So if it’s going white on the backend it’ll either give you an error at the top of the screen in black text that you need to share with us here or there is a plugin conflict that’s causing this. Your site and this theme have been given major upgrades over the past month so a plugin not playing nice with everything is not only possible, it’s likely.
1. Deactivate and delete the Newspaper theme
2. Deactivate and delete all plugins
3. Re-install 3.9 from Dashboard -> Upgrades menu
4. Do NOT use FTP for the above instructions – use WordPress if at all possible
5. If you have to use FTP, make sure your client is in binary transfer mode before you upload anything
6. With only Jetpack and Akismet plugins (If you use them) installed or activated on the site, activate Newspaper
7. Test drive the site and see if it all works.
8. REPORT FINDINGS BACK HERE
Short of you correctly following those instructions you will need to let Marius on your site to fix the issue with your site (Thousands of other people using this theme without this issue means it is localized to your setup).
Make sure you are downloading the WordPress installable theme file from your Envato downloads panel and do not change the name or file extension. This theme does take longer to install on the WordPress theme installer – that’s normal. Every theme is a different size and themes with less than 30% of the features of Newspaper are obviously smaller files.
Make sure you have WordPress 3.9 installed!
You purchased this theme from Marius (tagDiv team member). Please make this easier and take his FREE help and give him access to your site. Others have done it and been very pleased with his work. He doesn’t make his living from the rest of us if he scams you.
BTW – I’m not with tagDiv, just another customer like you with a background in programming and design trying to help. The fact that other customers are speaking up for the theme and trying to help you says a lot! Think about it.
Wordpress would tell you if there was a missing style-sheet in a theme and not let you install it.
I think you should chill out a bit. They obviously got lots of other stuff to do to get it working with wp 3.9 again and it’s already great that they support each single user by even customising their themes (my opinion ;-))
Something else that might help – the theme installation takes ages compared to a few other themes i have installed in the last few days to test the comparitive upload times
After I install the theme and open customizer menu, I see the options from the left and blank screen from the right. The buttons on the menu don’t work. What can I do to fix this?
@papap You should be able to handle the upgrade just fine from 3.6 -> 3.8 but 3.7 had a big change you need to catch up with.
https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-v-3-7/
Follow that guide to make the change on the visual composer plugin and install the 3.8 files in place of 3.7 as instructed. Basically…
1. Upload 3.8
2. Delete the wpbakery folder from your server
3. Follow the prompts on your dashboard to install the required plugins
Happy hunting
Wish I could say for sure what plugin it was, but I ran into the same problem on a demo site I run. The demo runs on the same server as the live site for testing purposes and had all the same plugins activated as my live site, yet the Twitter follower count was zero while the icon and Follow button in the social counter widget went to the correct Twitter profile.
So, I deleted and reinstalled the social counter plugin – updated from 1.0 to 1.3 and no change on the erroneous count.
I then took a guess and decided to delete to a BUNCH of useless old plugins I have tested in the last six months. None were active but something made a difference. So, for lack of a better option, here’s the list of inactive plugins that I deleted…

Something worked. I would guess maybe the cache plugin??? But I have no real clue. Keep in mind some of these plugins are more than 2 years old since last used so most won’t be helpful in figuring out what plugin is causing the conflict.
I’m running 3.7 with VC and WP 3.9 on this site. Never had a problem before I spotted it tonight.
Hey Marius,
Just installed v3.8 and can confirm that the tabs are fixed. Thank you for the updates.
Oh Gosh! Another update? I installed 3.5 a month ago and after proper configuration I had to do TWO MORE TIMES, with 3.6 and then 3.7. It took me couple of days each time. Enough with updates! For at least a couple of months 🙂
