I have the same problem. The WP Editor doesn’t work. I tried installing it again without any effect. Should I reinstall the theme totally? But is it possible without loosing all my data? And the same question for updating to 8.6.
I had the weather app installed on the site but it has been stuck for days and not updating with the current weather. Can you please advise when this is fixed so I can reinstall.
Hello – We are having an issue where the Big Grid Style #2 is not breaking up correctly when showing on mobile. We have installed the latest update of the theme and it did not resolve the problem.
Hi Catalin,
After investigating, I solved most of the problems.
1. The problem number one was the plugin Speed Booster, doing strange effects on mobile version.
2. The second problem was the custom css. By default, the theme loads the css at the end, and that was the problem of the strange effects at loading. What I did is install a Custom CSS plugin that allows me to load the css at the beggining, and then the problem disappears.
3. The third problem, and I have not solved it yet, is visual composer. When you choose full width for a row, the row loads less width and after a second it turns to full width, producing an ugly effect. Why? This is probably a theme bug, because I checked other websites made with Newspaper and EVERYBODY has the same problem using full width rows with visual composer.
So my questions are:
1. Can you propose a new setting for the next update that allows you to chose if you want to load the css at the beggining or at the end?
2. By now, and to avoid installing a plugin for custom css, there is any code that I can use to load the css at the beggining?
3. Is there any way to solve the problem with visual composer and full width rows?
—
I want to say that most of the problems are theme bugs. Speed Booster is a plugin made by TagDiv, and it produces errors. The theme loads custom css at the end by default and you can’t change it. Finally, there is a problem with visual composer and the theme, loading late full width rows made with VC.
I would appreciate that this time you can help me finding solutions to my problems, at least at the visual composer bug.
Thank you.
Bernat
thank you for your fast response Catalin, we actually figured out we had installed a plugin that had a mobile theme that was conflicting with yours after contacting your team via email. We appreciate the help you guys provided!
I do have one more question- I noticed that our site isn’t set to the proper time. For instance right now it says that it’s 5:34, when actually where we are posting from, it’s 12:34. Where do we change the time on the back end so that it’s correct?
Hi,
For me it looks like this

The total cache is known to create issues based on previous user feedback. The recommended caching plugin would be the WP Super Cache

Hello trisquelmedia,
Make sure that you are using the latest version of the theme and also, ensure that the theme has been fully installed via FTP way because this is the surest method in this case. If the problem is still there, I will recommend you to make a new clean install from scratch to another sub-domain for testing and check the results. Also, remove all of the untested plugins because all of these might interact with the theme core files and causes a lot of unknown issues.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
I have inspected your website and I saw that your style CSS are not applying as should be. I have checked your console and I saw that you have a lot of errors on your console as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/joI6LzWYsJy I suggest you to make a new clean install from scratch via FTP way, clear all of the untested plugins if you are using something like this because all of these might interact with the theme core files and causes a lot of unknown issues, purge all CDN files if you are using the Cloudflare and check the results. Before each theme update/install please make a full backup to your database to avoid losing all of your data.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
On mobile there seem to be some errors present on the page
– https://www.screencast.com/t/BCGEz4Eb
These errors seem to be related to ads, they do not appear on desktop. I would suggest if possible to remove the ad codes where entered and test to see if this improves the website speed. There are also many speed optimization guides here on the forum, very useful to read

Hi,
The code works, like in my test
– https://www.screencast.com/t/Ve2YbwiSTU
It should work for you as well. It could a caching if theme panel settings are not applying. Try clearing all caching installed after making changes or entering codes. Clear the browser cache or force refresh the page (Ctrl+Shift+R).
Thanks
Hello rachelrooi,
Please keep in mind that all the theme’s files which are downloaded from Theme Forest has been fully tested and should works as expected, without any problems. If you get this security alert it seems that your the problem is on your side or dedicated server. Notice that in terms of the theme there is no problem with viruses. Try to make a new fresh install from scratch to another sub-domain for testing and check the results.
Thanks for the message!
Dear tagdiv,
I installed a demo (this one: https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_tech/) with its content since it was very close to what I was looking for.
Then, I did some cleanup, removed all articles and categories.
I was expected the website to be empty and could add my own articles and categories, but the original categories are still displayed (Android, windows phone, photography, etc…) on the main page.
I can’t find the settings to get rid of them.
Can you point me to the right place to remove them?
Thanks,
Nicolas
Hello emceenetwork,
Please ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme installed via FTP way because this is the surest method, in this case, clear all the caches and check the results. Also, check all the plugins to be updated to the latest version of them if you want to achieve best theme results.
Thanks for your understanding!
The Yoast SEO plugin adds all the necessary tags when it comes to sharing, the theme itself does not have any sharing options. Install the mentioned plugin and enable og meta.
We have BuddyPress User Blog installed on our site to allow normal users to write and submit articles (i.e. posts).
After a little time, the “Create New Post Page” stopped displaying the editor for entering, editing and submitting posts. The page displays the header and footer, but the part of the page that is generated by the BuddyPress User Blog is blank.
When I changed the theme to the default Twenty Seventeen theme, the “Create New Post Page” displays the editor and everything generated by the BuddyPress User Blog plugin.
We need help with this urgently!
We’ve even updated the theme to the latest version (i.e. 8.6), yet the issue remains.
Regards
For some reason I’m not having any luck changing the font colors for the title of excerpt using the sample above on BLOCK13 being used on my homepage…
I’m trying
.td_block_13 .td_module_14 h3 > a {
color: #b4413e;
}
.td_block_13 .td_module_14 .td-excerpt {
color: #b4413e;
}
.td_block_13 .td-module-title a {
color: #b4413e;
}
None of which are working?
I’ve tried adding !important but no luck either… does this method work with BLOCK13? (it seems that Block13 is non-responsive to the settings in the theme panel as well? https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/excerpt-font-size-2/ or my install is funky 🙂
Hello,
after installing Newspaper as my new Theme i have errors in the Google Webmaster Tools. Crawling Erros, sites cant be found. There are errors like these:
Hello! Today I tried to install the AdSense ads on the site. In the end, deleted all codes, as haven’t found the right place.
After clearing the cache, delete the codes, the ads suddenly appeared advertising from Google under the footer. How can this be explained? Ads inserted only in the header and sidebar, and then removed them completely. Only this code still can not go.
Please help to understand.

Hi,
Much has changes since the version you are using. WordPress and theme should always be kept up to date. Each update will provide improvements.
We do not have a theme install department unfortunately, but you could try it yourself.
You could update the theme using this guide
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
The FTP method would be the most recommended in the matter. Make a backup before, it is always recommended to do so.
Update WordPress (if you did not already) as well as the theme included plugins. Let us know if you should encounter any problems.
A thing to note is that the tagDiv composer plugin will be activated by default when you make the update. Visual composer specific elements may not display properly, deactivate the tagDiv composer if this happens.
Thanks
Hello LMPLMM,
Please make sure that you are using the latest version of the theme installed via FTP way because this is the surest method in this case. If the problem is still there, try to make a new clean install to another sub-domain via FTP way, clear all the caches and check the results. If the error persists, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so we can further inspect it closer your setup page.
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
1. On mobile, mega-menus will not be displayed. The mobile menu is limited to drop-down style. Some of the menu items in the header menu do not link anywhere on desktop and on mobile. If these are categories please re-add them in the menu as categories
– https://www.screencast.com/t/VbJqb7X7
If they are custom links add a link to them
– https://www.screencast.com/t/wGu51kcH2LBY
So they would lead somewhere on the website. Regardless of mobile plugin used or not, the mobile menu will still look the same in design. A difference would be that if the mobile plugin is used, a different menu can be set for mobile
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
Page content built with composers will not be displayed on mobile if the mobile plugin is used. Mobile pages are restricted to the mobile editor.
The mobile theme is intended to present a lighter version of the website, optimized for mobile devices. There will be predefined front page templates, category page, post page etc.
2. You could add the link in the description field of the team member element
– https://www.screencast.com/t/zLGIA9ZW9ecE
There are no dedicated options to add links in this element, or the other information you mention, except the description field.
The composer will receive more options and feature over future updates however.
If that option does not appear for you, in almost all similar cases plugins were to blame. There could be a plugin installed that is responsible. Only way to check is by deactivating all plugins except theme plugins. Then see if the option appears.
Thanks
i’ve created this new post
but i’ve got the same problem in an older post :
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tag-div-composer-infinite-load-since-update-from-8-5-1-to-8-6-today/#new-post
SINCE
i’ve tried to switch to main-theme and :
.disable/delete TD-Composer from Newspaper 8.6 file
.downgrade WP 4.9.1 to 4.9
.install TD-Composer from Newspaper 8.5.1 file
.clear cache (wp super cache)
.disable/delete TD-Composer from Newspaper 8.5.1 file
.downgrade WP 4.9 to 4.8.4
.install TD-Composer from Newspaper 8.5 file
.clear cache (wp super cache)
= all this manipulations = no change
BUT, from there (WP 4.8.4 + TD-Composer from Newspaper 8.5 file)
i’ve just upgraded WP 4.8.4 to 4.9.1
(without disable/delete & reinstall TD-Composer)
and at this moment, TD-Composer works again !!!
i said to myself “great, i succeed’ and decide to touch anything anymore
i was able to make some changes with TD-Composer
and close it after, normally
after hours using my WP for my website
(i didn’t install or remove any plugins or whatelse during this time)
i just decide by curiosity to launch TD-Composer (clearing cache before)
and there TD-Composer collapse again, infinite load, etc..
from there, i just tried to :
disable/delete/re install TD-Composer from Newspaper 8.5 file
(clear cache)
and TD-Composer works again, until now
I don’t understand what happens, all i constat it’s all my WP is very very slow after using hours (because of my subscription on my provider, that’s ok) but TD-Composer too since upgrade to 8.6, i can’t explain it. All my ‘Newspaper system status’ is green with 128mb/request of WP Memory Limit.

Good morning everyone,
After I reinstall update 8.6 and again clear all the cache files (WP-Super Cache) and purge Cloudflare, everything is OK now.
Thanks for your helping.
Hi, Catalin it seems to display correctly in all browsers with the exception of chrome which is the one I use to update the site with. I’ve tried to edit the pages using other browsers and it triples my work time as when copying pages it loses all font tags etc so they have to be manually changed again. Here are two screenshots of the same page and a third of what it looks like when being edited.
All 3 links are the exact same code and page used.
1) How it should look and does in ie or firefox
https://www.freedailyracetips.com/screenshot2_ie.jpg
2)How it looks while editing the horizontal rules are there but not visible which makes it impossible to edit.
https://www.freedailyracetips.com/screenshot_editing.jpg
3) How it looks when viewing in chrome, I have never used any other browser to edit or view the site prior to the update. The only thing that has changed is your update.
https://www.freedailyracetips.com/screenshot_chrome.jpg
Chrome is up to date as is all other software I have no choice but to keep the site active. I am however able to install a clean copy onto our sister site and use a site url redirect.
