Hello !
Unfortunately that video was not working for the updates newer than 9.7.1 At the moment we do not have a video tutorial on how to update the theme via FTP but we are working on it. If you follow this steps it should be fairly easy:
Step 1 – Open the folder “Themes” located in “Your Site’s Name/Wp-Content/Themes” and backup your Newspaper Theme folder by saving it somewhere on your computer. You can also choose to delete it. Your content won’t be lost, but please note that if you have any theme code modifications, they will be lost. You have to reapply them after the update is over.
Step 2 – Connect your FTP account using Filezilla. Navigate to the WordPress theme directory within Filezilla (“Your Site’s Name/Wp-Content/Themes”).
Step 3 – Download the newest version of the Newspaper Theme from ThemeForest.
Step 4 – Unzip the “Newspaper-tf” archive file and the “Newspaper.zip” file.
Step 5 – Extract “Newspaper.zip” file.
Step 6 – Delete the existing Newspaper theme folder
Step 7 – Drag and drop the new “Newspaper Theme” folder into “Your Site’s Name/Wp-Content/Themes”. Your content will not get removed! Update all of your plugins, for more information regarding this visit this links: https://tagdiv.com/update-newspaper-theme/ ; https://tagdiv.com/how-to-install-plugins-and-update-plugins/
Thank you !
When I go to Newspaper > Theme Panel > Block Settings, and I click on “Thumbs on Modules/Blocks”, the box does not open at all. It constantly indicates that it’s loading, like so:

I wanted to access this menu to enable the thumbnails required for Related Articles, however I am unable to load the menu at all. I should note that this is the only menu that does not open: “Category tag on Modules/Blocks” and “More info on Modules/Blocks” both open fine.
The Newspaper version installed is the latest, 9.7.2. I’ve tried disabling all of my plugins.
I’m unsure if it’s related, but Site Health indicates the following critical errors:
– The REST API encountered an error
– Your site could not complete a loopback request
With the following message for both: “Error: [] cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate in certificate chain.” Updating the version recently, I had to manually install the plugins because this error caused the dashboard updates to not work.
My hosting service looked into it, and concluded that this could have something to do with the Newspaper theme (the site is running the latest version of PHP).
Hi, I have a problem with the overlapping Scroll on top when installing Sticky ads on footer mobile Newspaper theme. I tried several CCS but it didn’t work. Can you give me CCS to hide the Scroll Top Symbol in the mobile theme? Sorry for my English.
Hello,
New install, just playing around with the pages and posts to see the capabilities. looks like when I click on new posts, the posts editor remains the Gutenberg default. There’s no ability to select the TagDiv Composer.
Just purchased Newspaper 9. Installed it and successfully activated it. However when it asks me to install the 3 plugins – TagDiv Composer, TagDiv Cloud Library, & TagDiv Social counter – I get Ajax Errors, on all three and then my entire WordPress shuts down. I have tried shutting down all other plugins, and still the problem persists. Please Advise and help.
Hi Vlad,
Just want to make sure I’m following 100 percent.
“Take note that is mandatory to delete all what was left from the older theme version before intalling this update.”
What exactly do you mean by this? While I don’t see this in the resources you provided, it suggests to me that we need to delete all the pages we created, the plug-ins associated with our current version of newspaper, and thee theme itself, and then rebuild everything. Can’t we just overwrite the old theme through FTP, keep the pages as they are, and update the plug-ins after the theme is installed?
I have newspaper 9 and the tag div composer stopped working on the front page. I foolishly deactivated the plugin, thinking that I could reinstall it to fix the problem…HELP!
I first deleted all old themes then try to install the new one. But the same problem shows up.
I’ve already pasted it a long time ago and it worked greatly (The screenshot that I provided in the first paragraph shows what you intend to tell me), but after I installed the Ad Inserted plugin, the ads on mobile phone version broke down.
Thank you.

Hello !
We are sorry for your inconvenience !
It is mandatory to delete all what was left from the older version before intalling this update. Overwriting the files would cause a lot of problems. If you are certain that you have installed the updates correctly by deleting all of the older versions and made a clean install from scratch please contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login, as well as cPanel or FTP if possible. We will take a look. Include a link to this topic in the email.
Also take a look at our documentation about installing the theme and plugins: https://tagdiv.com/how-to-install-plugins-and-update-plugins/ ; https://tagdiv.com/how-to-install-newspaper-theme/
Thank you !
Hi,
You can find the post template in Cloud template -> https://www.screencast.com/t/wbkVA4a22 or if you do not have that demo install and you like the single post template you can get it from tagDiv Cloud Library
-> https://www.screencast.com/t/BTNTkPzx
Hope this will help you!
Thanks.

Simion, hello.
I have the same problem. I updated the theme to version 4.8 and installed the mobile theme – mobile + AMP plugin. my pages are not being treated as valid by Google Console. What do you suggest? Is there really an error in this plugin that could compromise the indexing of my site? I await a return. I’m losing traffic after the new update. My site: http://www.cidademarketing.com.br
https://drive.google.com/open?id=124i8izsVls3h2CSeFeXM0mhgMnjkM9k4 erro google console
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1JlPhVw-9RUdsmENsT5SpHqCD6CsE6b56 erro AMP invalid

hello,
on the mobile version, i m getting the above message. It is a wordpress multi-site install on aws elastic beanstalk. This is a fresh install
Pretty much all of the features of the theme work for me except the ads. When I click to the ads section and then click on any of the ad placement options, the theme just hangs with the circle going round and round indefinitely.
I have updated all of the resources to more than what the theme guidelines call for. See below. WP-Supercache is not compatible with WP 5.2 yet and was giving me errors so I deactivated and deleted it. I am using Cloudflare though for caching. I have successfully used the Newspaper theme for 4 years now, but recently had to change my host due to some difficulties with my old host. The problem with the theme has happened since I switched to a new host. I originally had version 9.7.2 when I switched to the new host and I downgraded the theme to 9.7.1 to see if the issue would go away, but the ads are not accessible in either version. I have also turned off all plugins except for TD Composer and TD Speed Booster, so there does not appear to be any plugin conflicts. I also copied my current .htaccess file below
Appreciate any help.

Hi Vlad,
thanks for your reply. I’am not sure wether I did delete all of the old version. I just installed a free theme, activated it and pressed “delete” newspaper theme. Then I downloaded the new version of the newspaper theme, which failed.
Please kindly provide information on how to delete all what is left of the old version.
Thank you
Hello there,
Everything was going fine ’till I installed “ad insert” plugin, then the ads stopped appearing on mobile browser when I visit my website.
But on computer browser everything is good and the ads appear normally.
I’ve deleted the codes and inserted it again in the fields, but nothing changed.
Her is a screen shot: https://snag.gy/M7gEB2.jpg
PLS help me.

Hi Calin, thanks for the answer. Two days ago I already had the problem with an old version of the theme, so I installed the latest version (v9.7.2). Until a few days ago everything worked perfectly …
I will try to see better server and hosting requirements.
I hope everything goes well: I have been losing credibility and advertising revenue for two days. -.-
I will keep you informed.
Hi,
Please make sure that you have the last version of theme (v9.7.2) also please make sure that all the settings are like in our requirements, please follow the guide carefully
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
and please increase all requirements that are lower, and follow all steps.
If the problem is still there, please delete( delete the theme plugins too, do not override ) the current version of Newspaper that you have and download again from themefores the newspaper and reinstall it.
Thank you
Hi Calin,
The child theme isn’t working as expected though.
I’ve used the default child-theme and added td_footer_template_1.php in the parts folder.
It seems like it’s not picking it up.
As a test, i’ve added an additional class to a div, but isn’t visible on the site
was:
<div class=”td-container”>
changed into:
<div class=”td-container another-extra-test-class”>
Can you see/tell why it’s not being overridden?
Here’s a test site i’m playing with: https://forkast.vcbwebdesign.nl
It contains the default wp installation with only the newspaper and child theme activated
Thanks
I am currently using v9.5 and have not yet upgraded due to the AMP changes.
If I upgrade to 9.7.2 and find any problems, can I obtain 9.5 and downgrade, or can you not remove 9.7.2 and reinstall 9.5?
Thanks
Michael
Hi,
I have a multisite setup and on the main domain / site, everything works fine.
However on the subsite, although the theme settings seem to work fine, I can’t get any tagdiv templates to install or function.
Either the template doesn’t load at all (after importing) or if it does, as soon as I drag / drop a content block in, it displays ‘no posts’.
Any idea where I’ve done wrong?
Thanks
Laura.
