I just bought Newspaper 9 but got this message when I tried to install:
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 installation failed.
Please advise
Hi there,
I have installed ‘Fast News’ demo and’featured image’ placeholder on the post setting is missing. I tried classic view, the sidebar doesn’t show up. Logins are below:
Could you please let me know?
Thanks
Angela
Thank you for your answer @Catalin
We know that AMP ads are not like regular Ads, in fact our AMP Ads were working good enough until Version 9.5

9.5 was a disaster for Us, AMP plugin is already disabled, right know we are working on cleaning the DB, because our wp-options table has almost five million entries with transients and class names td_uid_1_5c82894a1a5a7_rand.
This install was working perfectly before 9.5
Hi Calin,
I thank you for your answer.
The thing is I’ve already click on “Edit content” as you can see on this screenshot : https://www.screencast.com/t/nuflE0EZWp .
The editor doesn’t load at all. It keeps searching on and on.
I’ve already try to uninstall all the non Tagdiv plugins. It doesn’t work anymore.
Thank you again.
Hi,
I recently purchased and installed the Newspaper theme with demo pages without demo content because this new theme is replacing an older theme I’ve been using for my site.
Although, upon following all steps for installation and set-up (I think), the front page only shows the logo, main menu and gallery posts from my old website. None of the current news posts or ad banners are showing on the front page.
I thought using a the demo template would make my current posts appear in the new design.
I’m just wondering if there is another step I need to complete to make all the front page posts from the previous theme appear on the front page of this new theme.
Thanks,
Ben
With TD Composer nearly all blocks/modules do work — except the “Recent Comments”. When I drag it somewhere in the page layout… there’s just the loading animation (and it’s infinite, I’ve waited for hours). All other elements I’ve tried do work like a charm.
Maybe it’s just a problem with my setup/installation. So I’d appreciate if you could provide me the right shortcodes (something like [td_block_1]) for the recent comments, so I can edit it by text.
Thanks

So im gonna straight forward about this, i happened to install this theme to website which is using VPS which i dont really understand about. Now I am planning to uninstall the theme and install it to hosting which I familiar about. Can I do that? I mean is there will be problem occurred or can i use the same activation code? I will be install it on the same domain but different server, i would just go with shared hosting.
Thanks
Hi,
Quite unusual, I also have Yoast installed, but the composer editing buttons appear in both Gutenberg and the classic editor

Are you using the latest theme and plugins versions? This may happen if you use an older theme and latest WordPress for example.
Thanks
My website went down for a few days after the latest Newspaper update, and had to hire a professional WordPress developer to help me resolve the issue since I had no access to WP Admin. Here is his reply (and my website is now working again):
“”” I was able to replicate the issue on my end. The issue was with the Plugin “tagDiv Multi-Purpose” and “ManageWP Worker”. I have installed and activated the fresh files of the Plugin “ManageWP Worker” and deactivate the Plugin “tagDiv Multi-Purpose” to fix the issue. Now your site is loading on my end, without any issue. “””
Can Admin verify this issue exists? Or is it only for me?
Thanks!
I have installed the demo. Does not work properly like this
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_decor/ ( mobile phone view) Only works on Desktop.
how can i fix it ?? please help
Hi,
Please check our documentation for increase page loading speed -> https://tagdiv.com/how-to-increase-page-loading-speed/
Also please make sure that the theme system status is configured as mentioned in the requirements guide. Please follow the guide carefully
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
and please increase all requirements that are lower, and follow all steps.
There are many optimization guides provided by our users here in the forum, some made by us, you could check some of them

Hi Bogdan,
I confirmed that I am not using a demo version of the theme; thank you for your screenshot. I noticed in that same section it gives a message that says, “Please install and activate the tagDiv Composer plugin – Our plugin is required for this theme to work best.” That would not have anything to do with successfully updating my theme correct? I can’t imagine that it would, but want to be thorough and ask.
I don’t necessarily need an automatic update or notice.
But what I desperately want is an EASY way to do this, that doesn’t create these same issues that I mentioned in this thread from 12/26/18:
“But upon new theme installation, certain homepage content was missing and I’d like to know why/how to avoid in the future:
– Site identity switched to blog from static front page
– Title tag and meta description removed
– Content blocks deleted
– Footer deleted”
Of the multiple ways to update the theme that you sent the link to, what is the preferred method?
Why does this have to be manual every time? Why doesn’t this theme update like every other theme I have encountered or worked with?
Thanks.
Hey I have a few extra plugins installed such as a cookie concent and a tool for zoomig images. But neither of them are working, like they are not even installed. I think it has something with the thme bloking some JS…maybe?

Hi,
Make sure if you are using the latest version of the theme installed via FTP way, remove all of the untested plugins, clear all the caches, purge CDN files and check the results. Also, check the system status parameters to be increased according to our documentation from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ Also, you can check the following topic from here -> https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/8935 where this issue was debated.
Thank you!
Hi,
Google recently changed their algorithm so comparing your current score with an older one is no longer valid. The demos page speed score have dropped as well.
Please use the following guides to increase the page loading speed score:
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/score-100100-pagespeed-with-newspaper-wordpress-theme/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/newspaper-theme-speedify-your-website/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-chriss-custom-optimizations-for-functions-php-etc/
We also recommend this Cloudflare configuration
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
For speedbooster you can disable the compatibility check like so:

Thank you!
Hello,
In order to tell if you have a demo installed or not, please check this section of the theme panel: https://www.screencast.com/t/Uf7tTi0f
As for the theme update, if you need an automatic update and a notice for each update,you have to install the envato market plugin as mentioned in this guide:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thank you!
I have last version of Newspaper 9.6.1 and working with any problem.
But from yesterday I have a problem when uploading images to post and/or gallery. I have not installed any plugin or any component so I don not know where from the problem comes. Some image upload but some other don’t. Maximum upload sizde is 8 MB and any image is higher than 3.
I receive this message: “The response is not a valid JSON response”
and if search more detailed:
“wp_booster error:
td_api_base::mark_used_on_page : a component with the ID: tdc_util is not set.
/home/francjp8/public_html/sumarium-co/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_api.php
Display backtrace
wp_booster error:
Missing parameter: ‘file’
/home/francjp8/public_html/sumarium-co/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_autoload_classes.php
Display backtrace”
I have any plugin instaled.
If I deactivate Newspaper Theme and activate another one … images upload correctly. But again appears the problem when activate Newspaper Theme again.
Can you help please? Launching site date was today 🙁
Hello,
W3 total cache is not a tested and recommended plugin to use with our theme. Please use wp super cache and these settings:
https://tagdiv.com/wp-super-cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
Thank you!
Hi,
Ensure that you have correctly installed and set up the AMP according to our documentation from here -> https://tagdiv.com/amp-newspaper-theme/ Also, if you are using some untested plugins, remove all of these, clear all the caches, purge CDN files and check the results.
Thank you!
Hello,
Google Page Speed Insights showed a pretty bad score (3 for mobile around 30 for desktop) after I’d installed and configured the Cache plugin, as per your tutorial. I made some server-side/hosting optimizations and was able to to increase the score to 45 mobile / 72 desktop.
Apart from setting up the mobile theme + AMP pages, is there anything else I can do to score above average on desktop and mobile?
Thanks in advance,
Ina
Hi,
Make sure if you are using the latest version of the theme installed via FTP way, check your system status parameters to be increased according to our documentation from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ remove all of the untested plugins, clear all the caches, purge CDN files and check the results.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you!
Hi,
Until now, notice that we do not have any bad reports in this case, sorry! Please try to make a new sub-domain for testing where you need to have installed only the theme and the required plugins, clear all the caches, purge CDN files and check the results. Please notice that before each theme update, we make a lot of tests to make sure everything works in the parameters.
Thanks.
Hi,
Notice that the multisite is just a WordPress functionality and it can be done in a lot of ways. For more information about this implementation, please check here -> https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network -> https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-install-and-setup-wordpress-multisite-network/ If you want to achieve another structure of the theme, notice that you need to do it yourself because the theme does not have any such an option for this. Also, if you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this case, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
Ensure that you have correctly updated your theme via FTP way, clear all the caches, purge CDN files and check the results. Check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/ Also, notice that the WPBakery sohuld not be updated. If you will use the latest version of the theme, you will have the latest version of this plugin which comes bundled with it.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you!
Hi,
Yes! The latest version of the theme is Newsmag v.4.7. You need to access your Theme Forest account and download the latest version of the theme and then, install it via FTP way. -> https://www.screencast.com/t/9O73aYmZ
Thank you!
