Ideally you should have back-up of all your images, as standard practice before installing anything or running any plugin which changes content.
However, you can simply re-run the regenerate thumbnail plugin to the sizes you were using before. But read the help info that comes with the plugin as it describes the best way to use it, how to “un-use” it and so forth.
I believe the “cropped” setting is in the theme panel; so you should “uncheck” that, and then re-run the thumbnail regen plugin to see if that fixes things.
It’s also useful to set the default small, medium, large settings in the main wordpress > settings > media … to limit number of thumbs actually built.
If the files are too big (in KBs) you can also use my hack in the functions.php file (search forum) to reduce the file sizes created by about 40%.
@Christopher Simmon, Thanks for the response. I don’t have any SEO plugin installed, i’ll do some further plugin research (I try limiting them for speed purposes). I’ve done my research and I saw that this code would work: <meta property=”og:image” content=”image-url”/> and I put it in the header but still seems to be pulling the wrong image (nonetheless its the worst image it could grab, ah). Anybody else experience this/resolved this problem?

Hello dear
i need help,
After installation of ,ewspapper them i can not use my other wordpress theme,
website show blank page when i try to use other wordpresse them, only admin panel display well. I noticed that my site load blank page on mobile device when i use newspaper theme, Please help me fix this bug or this issues.
I deleted newspaper them but nothing change, i still get the same probleme even if i remove or not the newspaper them… Sorry for bad english i speak french
I found a problem with translation. I resetted the options ‘td_008’. Please, check your code.
hi,
I just bought and installed newspaper theme at http://www.saajbarta.com and I get this error in every page:
Illegal string offset ‘firstInstall’ in /srv/www/saajbarta/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_util.php on line 98
Please check it and tell me how to fix it. I couldn’t search this forum. That gives a 404 error!
Thanks,
Muktadir
Hi,
Should work, try this: install SEO by Yoast plugin and see if work.
Thanks!
Hi,
I can replicate the bug, I’ve installed iTheme Security and the login widget works fine.
Please give us more details, what settings you use for that plugin, could be from your “/admin” and “/register” changes, how you make that?
Thanks for the message!
Hi
I’m updating this thread for consistency.
I just upgrade to Newspaper 3.5 and attempting to replicate this, with
Newspaper/includes/modules/td_module_1.php
if I remove the // for author name, it’s NOT printing on the posts although uncommenting on other modules does add the author byline to things like the sidebar modules or the indexes.
<div class="meta-info">
<?php echo $this->get_category(); ?>
<?php echo $this->get_author(); ?>
<?php echo $this->get_date(false); ?>
<?php echo $this->get_commentsAndViews(); ?>
</div>
e.g.,
http://ga-ga.com/1204/beginning-adventure-space-time-reveals-roots-doctor/
I have tried with tagdiv speedbooster on/off; I have mod_pagespeed off to ensure nothing is being cached; not using Jetpack.
This is CLEAN install of Newspaper 3.5; meaning the theme folder was uploaded as fresh folder and prior 2x folder was not over-written, so no mish-mash of old/new theme elements. No child theme being used.
Any idea why that might not be printing on page? Do I need to enable something else to cause the author byline to print on posts?
————————————
To repeat past posts as an opinion here:
“Byline” is one of the most critical things to all newspaper/magazine sites and should always appear below the title of article, or below the featured image; but typically the author and date are shown together in magazines and newspapers, so slightly annoying we still have to manually enable this EVERY update — look at TIME, or NY Times, or LA Times, or CNN, you will see the BYLINE and date top of every article. SO my big REQUEST would be to enable this by default “ON” and then let people comment it OFF which would be the exception vs the rule.

Hi Guys,
Just want to share my two cents, I am a non-coder so couldn’t do any technical stuff. When I installed Newspaper, my pagespeed score on GTMetrix was 43. I realized there was some hack in my php files, so cleaned them up bu the speed reached only around 48.
I changed host from Site5 to KnownHost with SSD drive and extra RAM. The reading did reach 75-80 with that.
Following this I installed P3 Plugin Profiler and found out that Jetpack and Yoast SEO (1.5.x.x) was eating 90% of the total plugin resources. I unisntalled Jestpack; it was useful plugin but not indispensable.
I also removed Yoast SEO. The decision was easy as I felt it didn’t improve my SEO. Yes, I said it! I know how big a name Yoast is, but it didn’t work for me. May be I didn’t use it the right way but hell I would rather not use what I don’t know how to use and the cost opportunity was too high as speed was important to me.
And her is the result:
hi,
unpack the archive that you download from themeforest.net
inside you will find another archive : http://screencast.com/t/s7V70SJAVng called Newspaper.zip , this is what you need to install
Thanks for you message.
Radu A.
Be sure you’re only uploading the main theme folder “Newspaper” and not the big folder with all the docs and help/how-to.
You should look inside the folder you’re uploading to
/wp-content/themes/
to make sure it has the style.css in there, which would be good indicator it’s the wrong folder.
The “Newspaper” theme folder is the one which has the folders bbpress, images, includes, js, less_files, parts, translation, wp-admin, wpbakery, as well as about 35 loose files, including style.css and 404.php, etc.
I get the error message below when trying to install the Newspaper theme.
—
Installing Theme from uploaded file: themeforest-5489609-newspaper.zip
Unpacking the package…
Installing the theme…
The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Theme install failed.

Same result when I upload the theme files to the Themes folder.

I have the php code to call for it, the plugin is installed.
How do I add an element bellow the bottom ad?
Tried to place it Single.php just bellow the closing of
<?php //Below Post Banner … ?>
<?php pluginname(); ?>
and no results. Any idea? how to get this done?
Well, I keep everything up to date, I updated to the latest version of the theme and of the plugins that I use (that include jetpack, Yoast SEO and W3). Nothing else was changed on the server, it’s a DV from media temple so resources are not an issue… And also allocated more memory to the install (256MB) and nothing… Now the problem is also in another site were the backend is slow as a snail.
Any help? Very much needed…
Hi Marius,
thanks for your reply. I didn’t want to install one more plugin but i’m going to do that, i prefer to have the favicon and i need facebook comment for sharing more.
Hi there,
I’m a new customer of your Newspaper theme since yesterday. First I must say, Thanks for such a great Theme. Like it very much, alot of usefull features to play around 🙂
Unfortunately I have a little problem with the theme settings, especially the theme colors, that I can’t fix.
Most of the settings works fine and everything seems ok, but when I change the theme colors nothing is changed on the mainpage. I can select the colors, press save, the cubes rolling and the settings will saved, but when I look at my homepage nothing is changed. Then back to the settings, all colors are back to the standard settings.
No errors and everything seems fine, but the changes simply haven’t any effect.
The same problem occurs when I use the custom css feature, settings will saved correctly, but have no effect. Back to the settings and the field is empty again.
I tried, a fresh install, deactivate/uninstall all plugins, with and without the the demo data…, but nothing helps with this tiny problem. What works is, when I use the predefined styles, but this is not what I want.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? Any idea what the problem is? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance, and a nice day to all here.
I find a solution, please share with other if they have same problem.
1.- Install Advance Text Widget Plugin
2. To call “tubepress” short code don´t use this: [tubepress], you have to use
<?php echo apply_filters('the_content', '[tubepress]'); ?>
This is the only way I could make this works, if someone has same problem, this is the solution.
TagDiv, I don´t know why this happens but I recommend that we could use php on default text widget to avoid installing other plugins.
Hello! I’ve been using Newspaper since a while ago, on 5 sites and suddenly today one of them started to behave really oddly. When I go to the dashboard everything loads fine, but when I try to go to the posts page it takes forever to load, and when it does the post takes even longer.
When the post finally loads I cant insert images or anything, and the visual editor takes a long time to load to.
Also, every time I try to load the Theme Options panel it hangs for 1-2 minutes also, until it loads properly.
Any ideas? The installation is kept to minimum (9) plugin use and the problem persists even with no plugins active.
Thank you!
TIP:
1) do updates via FTP if you can
2) we’ve had nothing but problems with the envato “theme updater” – I recommend avoiding it unless you are very savvy in doing full backups of your site via FTP prior to running the plugin (in which case you wouldn’t likely use it anyway)
3) FTP is always best because you can a) make full snapshot backup of your site files, including images, themes, core WP files, config, htaccess, etc. – and also do a dbase backup via WP Admin > tools > Export (all); b) upload files so you know they are properly uploaded
CAVEAT/CAUTION: if your site has ownership permissions where files/folders are “owned” by Apache/server and not the ftpuser, then you may NOT want to use the FTP method for updates. If you are unable to replace your theme folder due to being “owned” by Apache, you can rename the theme folder, then upload fresh copy by FTP which would be “owned” by the ftpuser and not server. You can view “ownership” permissions of your folders by going to your hosting > filemanager > public root > files … “who” owns the folders will be shown in that application.
And YES, you can upgrade from 3xx to 3xxxx without first installing 3xxx.
New to FTP? Good to learn. Filezilla is free and open source way to get started.
Hi,
You don’t need to add that code! Do you need Facebook comments? Install the plugins for it.
Thanks!
hi,
first of all disable all the plugins that you have installed, conflicts may happen between plugin and the theme.
for the second issue, when adding a post you can add it in what categories you want:
http://screencast.com/t/jAE1Ulk3aXm .
the featured image is handled by wordpress, there is not much that we can do about it.
Thanks for you message.

I love this theme so much because the you often enhance and debug this product so there are total 24 updated version issued on themeforest and I think you will working hard continuously to improve this product.
Everytime when I found a new update, I downloaded both the “All File and full documentation version” and “WordPress installable version”
When I try to download on last update, themeforest told me that the download limit was exceed and I cannot download any update version of this theme anymore. I inform the support team of themeforest to explain my case because I don’t know the rule about the download limit for total 50 times. They solve my case and extend my download limit.
I agree with the first rule of maximum of 20 times in a 24hr period but I wonder that if your still keep on update and enhance your product over 50 version, how your customers get further download?
Thanks for a great theme!!

Hi,
On my website I have two languages. French and English.
French is the main language. This is also the default language of administration.
I bought and installed WPML. Everything is ok for the translation of articles, categories, pages and menus, but I do not understand something.
With WPML, do I create my widgets in English, then for traduires in French? Even if the end user of the website speaks French?
I understand that the default language strings should systematically in English ….
How do you for your translations?
Thanks
