I did install the business demo but it didn’t create all the same blocks etc for the home page.
When you install a demo without the content should it create the blocks, rows and columns on the home page automatically?
Hi,
You could simply install the Business demo (with content), this will add the demo homepage, theme panel settings and custom design
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
Then you may begin to customize it as you wish with your own posts, menus, logos etc. This would be the easiest way to achieve this.
Thanks
Dear tagDiv,
I do not want to have users that can sign up for my online publication. How do I remove the “Sign in/Join” function for the TechNews demo which I have installed? I just want it to function like how the TechNews demo looks, but without the ability for the audience to sign up/sign in.
Thanks.
Hi,
I believe this is somewhat of a misunderstanding. Indeed the default full big grid 8 is not similar to the gadgets demo grid. That is because the custom design the demo uses. Each demo has customization based on default theme elements, this is applied only when the demo is installed.
If you want big grid full 8 to look like in the demo, first select grid style 7 in it’s settings

Then enter this code in Theme panel->Custom CSS (this is the custom design used by the demo)

The font and font properties can be changed in the theme panel if needed

Hello chazlight1,
Make sure that you are using the latest version of the theme, installed via FTP way, update the WordPress to the latest version of it, clear all the caches and check the results. Notice that we do not have any bad reports in this case until now. I have tested on my side and the category filter works as expected, without any problems. If the problem is still there, try to make a new clean install from scratch to another subdomain and it the behavior will the same, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so we can further investigate it closer your setup page. Very important is to disable the untested plugins if you are using something like this.
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
The warning seems to be related to the base64 decode function in the theme, it is considering it insecure. Please check first if WP Debug is set to false in the wp-config file
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
If you also have a security plugin installed or a security service provided by the hosting, you could check if there are options to exclude theme files and elements.
Thanks
Dear tagDiv,
I have just purchased the “Newspaper” theme and I have tried to install it via wordpress, as you guys have stated in the online instructions.
I received the following message: “Security Alert. The file you are uploading was rejected by the server. It probably contains viruses or trojans that can damage your website. Do not attempt to upload it again as your IP address may be blocked.”
I then tried the other method which was to upload the newspaper.zip file via FTP. I did so, but when I logged into my wordpress site again, it does not show up under themes therefore there isn’t any way for me to activate it.
Could you please assist?
Thank you.
Hello @michele-jolie , have you tried using Mobile Plugin provided with the theme? Indeed your page is blank on mobile phones. Apart from that, i assume you are already using
Apart from that, some basics you should try for your website:
1. Try installing a demo from theme panel, in your case, you should try Cooking demo- https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_recipes/ . Just have a look. You can find other demos here- https://demo.tagdiv.com/select_demo/select_demo_newspaper .
2. Go for Free CDN by Cloudfare, that will boost speed of your website a lot and is pretty good.
3. Add SSL Certificate to your website, it will show users that your website is safe and again, is pretty neat.
4. Explore post types in theme, they are pretty good and worth exploring.
5. Try reading how to set up homepage here- https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/ .
6. Basic plugins must get for WordPress- Akismet-anti spam, External Links, Jetpack, Regenerate thumbnails, WP Smush, Wp-Super Cache and Yoast ofcourse.
Good luck with blogging. You can check mine here- https://medicforyou.in . Feel free to ask for anything. 🙂
Hi,
The theme package provides a mobile theme plugin, this is optional. If you decide to install and activate it, you can select a menu to be used specifically for it
– https://www.screencast.com/t/uHA3oBKvJ
You can find out more about this plugin functionality here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
As I mentioned this is optional. When it is not active, the mobile version is created using the theme responsive design. The same elements from desktop will be displayed on mobile devices, including the menu.
If this is not what you wanted to know, please try to provide some more details for a better understanding.
Thanks
Thanks, I hope you will implement an option to deactivate Google Fonts. The way it is now, Newspaper theme forces me to install a plugin for cookie notice even if I do not want third party cookies at all on my website in the future.
I am also not sure if a cookie notice is sufficient at all, because the new EU Regulation demands that “visitors actively agree” to the storing of their data.
Forgive me, I don’t want to sound demanding or mess around. This is just, because I see a major issue which has to be solved for this wonderful theme.
I also would understand to pay for such an updated version.
Thanks and best regards
Ernst
@oliviaperegrino what @Chris S means is that when you install the Yoast SEO plugin, you should see a manual excerpt below the post editor like this http://prntscr.com/i7eb01 . So you just had to add your own excerpt here by clicking on the ‘Edit Snippet” section. Then after updating your post, you copy the post link and ‘debug’ it with Facebook Debugger here https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ and scrape it until you see the excerpt on Facebook looking like the one on your Yoast SEO box.
The mobile theme plugin is not required, it is optional to install it. This plugin is intended to be used if you would like to present a different and simpler version of the website
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
So it is up to you whether you want to use it or not. When the mobile plugin is not active the background image can be changed as shown above, and the colors here
– https://www.screencast.com/t/ZXq72ZvIEjfp
A setting for setting a color when the menu is sticky does not exist, this could only be done with CSS. Like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/QZD4ylWkngz
This code will make the menu bar have a different color chosen by you, when the menu is sticky. It can be entered in Theme panel->Advanced CSS in the phones section
.td-header-menu-wrap.td-affix .td-header-main-menu{
background-color: red!important;
}
Thanks
Then something else is causing the issue. Deactivate all plugins except theme plugins as a quick test, clear all caching installed and CDN files if used. If you use a child theme, switch to the main theme. Remove any custom code in the theme panel temporarily, do not enter code in the theme files directly.
Try these suggestions and check the results. If there is still a problem, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login information. We will take a look. Also paste a link to this topic in the email.
Thanks
Helo,
You will need to use a custom footer design if you want t move things around. In the current version there is a possibility to use a page as a footer if you install the new multi-purpose plugin. This way, you can create a new page with the tagdiv composer and set it up exactly as you want the footer to look and then simply set it from here: https://www.screencast.com/t/n7JKyAodDQyF
Thank you!
Hi,
There will be no problem activating the theme on a sub-domain for testing purposes. You can go ahead and install the theme and theme plugins there and activate it.
Thanks
Hi,
@TechyChaps If deactivating the caching plugin solves the issue, please try and clear the cache in the plugin settings. This is most likely a caching issue, clearing it fully should solve it.
I could not say what settings you should use with that plugin, try a general recommendation. We have not tested that plugin with the theme, in some cases it caused issues based on user feedback. We recommend WP Super Cache
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
Thanks
Thank you so much for the answer!
I also would like to ask you about changes for the header in the mobile version, it is necessary to install the plugin? I am very happy with the mobile version without it and I wouldnt like to install the mobile plugin only for basic changes.
I would like to know if I can change the bakcground color of the mobile menu and also change the option of smart sticky mobile menu, because I changed it in the theme panel but only happens in the computer version not mobile version.
Thank you so much again
I deactivated the tagdiv composer. I reinstalled theme via FTP. I reinstalled wordpress. It’s still not working.

Hello Testspiel,

Hi,
I received latest update for the newspaper theme and i dont know how to update it, when i saw in youtube it says i have to delete the existing theme and re-install again, but i am afraid i may loose all my posts, pages and comments. Is thier n easy way for me to update themes
Recently wanted to change my friend’s website theme(http://www.mega-media.hr/) so I bought Newspaper 8.5 and installed it on a subdomain, exported files from website using WordPress tool and got a ~70mb XML document which I then imported, also using same tool on a subdomain(http://dev.mega-media.hr/). Got a lot of “Failed to import post tag ” lines and also other fail lines. What am I doing wrong?
I noticed when I installed the Godsmens-demo some images from the Art Creek-demo are also loaded. Every time I delete the images in the media library they appear again the next day. Why is that? I noticed the browser message: …waiting for 192.168.0.208?
In my latest project I use the Art Creek-demo. http://naturvejleder.dk/ Same problem! I delete the demo-images in the library but some of them keep reappearing. 
Also the Art Creek-demo seems slower to load? Waiting for 192.168.0.208??
Hi – am getting the following error when trying to install the newspaper theme via WordPress
Are you sure you want to do this?
Please try again.
