Hi,
@gyanbook A popular posts widget can be any block you want, from the available ones. Choose the one you want and place it the sidebar you want
– https://www.screencast.com/t/HaXPazXczo
– https://www.screencast.com/t/uNQkYogwW
Then simply sort the posts by popular, in the block settings filter tab
– https://www.screencast.com/t/j9ervFQe
Here you can find more about the block settings and options
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
Sidebars can be created from multiple places
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/sidebars-tutorial/
The theme does not have options for sending emails at subscribers. There are plugins that you can install that have these options.
Thanks
Hello,
I purchased the Newspaper 8 theme and i thought i was able to organize my new newswebsite myself. I work with WordPress for years now, but unfortunately im kind a stuck. To much options for my knowledge. Im super frustrated, because i bought the theme more than a week ago and i thought i was already writing happily, clearly that is not the case.
So im in need for some help here. I think the customizations i want arent that much of a deal though. I dont want big adjustmens. I want a simple and clean layout. I just need someone who is familair with the theme, it shouldnt take to much time.
This is my URL: https://www.dagonline.nl. Like i said, i want a clear and simple layout for my newswebsite. The yellow ‘Dont miss’ tab/block who is pre-installed with the demo is nice. I need more of those in different colors for different categories for example. A good example is http://www.nu.nl
Who wants to help me out here? We can do this by email or Skype. I have a little budget available.
Thank you so much.
Stinus
Hi,
The problem has been identified to be caused by a setting within the Yoast SEO plugin. If you have the plugin installed, please disable this option if it is enabled

Good morning, on my site http://www.ecomesifa.it with your theme, I tried to install Autoptimize to minimize and concatenate CSS and JS. Unfortunately, maybe because hosting uses LITESPEED CACHE, I have many 503.shtml errors, how can I fix it since SPEED BOOSTER does not work? Thank you
Hi,
That layout issue could by solved by deactivating the tagDiv composer from your plugins section. This editor is automatically activated when the theme is updated or installed.
Having both composers active can cause this kind of issues.
For the theme panel saving issues, maybe you have restrictions installed or firewalls that block the process. If it works on other computers that means the issue is locally.
Thanks
Hi,
Something is not functioning properly with the theme. This might be caused by custom CSS, or plugins. A suggestion would be to remove any theme customization or additions from the theme panel or theme files and folder, deactivate all plugins except theme plugins and check if the problem is solved.
Ultimately you can try a fresh theme install and make no customization, to see if everything is working as intended
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
I could give you a code to fix this, but it may not be the proper solution
– https://www.screencast.com/t/W6mMrmNvm
– https://www.screencast.com/t/EoCnJSE58VC4
.td-menu-mob-open-menu,
.td-search-opened {
position: static;
}
It would still be highly recommended to get to the source of the issue.
Thanks
NOTE – if you have a web host running Plesk/ONYX there is now a nice WordPress toolkit for the system that helps secure known issues with WordPress … and I thought I’d share some of the info from that plugin for ONYX systems for those looking for more info on hardening their setup.
=================================
The wp-content folder. The wp-content directory may contain insecure PHP files that can be used to damage your site. After WordPress installation, PHP files can be executed from the wp-content directory. The security check verifies that the execution of PHP files in the wp-content directory is forbidden. Note that custom directives in the .htaccess or web.config files might override this security measure. Also note that some of your plugins might stop working after securing the wp-content folder.
The wp-includes folder. The wp-includes directory may contain insecure PHP files that can be used to damage your site. After WordPress installation, PHP files can be executed from the wp-includes directory. The security check verifies that the execution of PHP files in the wp-includes directory is forbidden. Note that custom directives in the .htaccess or web.config files might override this security measure. Also note that some of your plugins might stop working after securing the wp-includes folder.
The configuration file. The wp-config.php file contains credentials for database access and other sensitive information. After WordPress installation, the wp-config.php file can be executed. If, for some reason, processing of PHP files by the web server is turned off, hackers can access the content of the wp-config.php file. The security check verifies that unauthorized access to the wp-config.php file is blocked. Note that custom directives in the .htaccess or web.config files might override this security measure.
Directory browsing permissions. If directory browsing is turned on, hackers can obtain information about your site (what plugins you use and so on). By default, directory browsing is turned off in Plesk. The security check verifies that directory browsing on the WordPress installation is turned off.
Database prefix. WordPress database tables have the same names in all WordPress installations. When the standard wp_ database table name prefix is used, the whole WordPress database structure is not a secret and anyone can obtain any data from it. The security check changes the database table name prefix to something other than wp_. The maintenance mode is turned on, all plugins are deactivated, the prefix is changed in the configuration file, the prefix is changed in the database, the plugins are re-activated, the permalink structure is refreshed, and then the maintenance mode is turned off.
Security keys. WordPress uses security keys (AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, LOGGED_IN_KEY, and NONCE_KEY) to encrypt information stored in the user’s cookies. A good security key should be long (60 characters or longer), random and complicated. This security check verifies that the security keys are set up and that they at least contain both alphabetic and numeric characters.
Permissions for files and directories. If permissions for files and directories do not comply with the security policy, these files can be used to hack your site. After WordPress installation, files and directories can have various permissions. The security check verifies that the permissions for the wp-config.php file are set to 600, for other files to 644, and for directories to 755.
Administrator’s username. When a WordPress copy is installed, by default there is a user with administrative privileges and the username admin. As a user’s username cannot be changed in WordPress, one only needs to guess the password to access the system as the administrator. The security check verifies that there is no user with the administrative privileges and the username admin.
Version information. There are known security vulnerabilities for each WordPress version. For this reason, displaying the version of your WordPress installation makes it an easier target for hackers. The version of an unprotected WordPress installation can be seen in the pages’ meta data and readme.html files. The security check verifies that all readme.html files are empty and that every theme has a functions.php file which contains the line: remove_action(\’wp_head\’, \’wp_generator\’);.
Note – the freezing happens on various sites to lesser degree I noticed the other night myself, even on my own website … only happened when I first turned it on — and I’m now thinking that maybe the iPad was doing some kind of background refresh like getting iCloud photos or something — but not sure on that.
On a simple page with 100/100 pagespeed score, two logos, one photo, and font awesome, I noticed the slight freeze going down page at a certain point. Odd. On my page all the above fold CSS loaded up front, and using native ipad fonts other than FA.
Not theme specific — I also noticed this issue on LA Times where the page just died, and went blank partway down.
Later on, both worked fine — so I suspect some background process on iPad, but I don’t have a fancy “activity monitor” installed, and have not turned on the developer mode on my new iPad (had that on for old one). Need to connect to my computer to activate that.
But it was temporary — then worked just fine. Very weird.
Just adding to the “bizarro world” topic … nothing to do with this theme specifically, as I notice the “twitchy” behavior on multiple sites the other night — all around the same time; but then no issues later on (and I have a smooth scroll jquery thing too, so yeah — super noticeable)…..
Might actually be an issue with jquery — hm.
hi I just bought “Newsmag – News Magazine Newspaper” from ThemeForest.
I installed workpress. And I upload all the files under “Newsmag” in my installation package I downloaded from ThemeForest.
Then I got this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /hermes/bosnaweb22a/b2728/nf.ccstrategyca/wordpress/index.php on line 7
Could you please let me know how to fix this issue? Thanks a lot.
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Deactivate and delete old plugins.
Install plugins from theme package inside the ../Newspaper-tf/plugins folder.
Hello Evecta,
Please keep in mind that what you want to do is a BIG update and the theme will be broken because it is totally another theme, sorry!
In order to achieve the best results after you will install the latest update you have to follow some rigorous steps like this -> you have to delete both of your themes, child theme, and main theme. All your customizations from your Newspaper 4 theme will do not work because all the files from this were changed in Newspaper 8.1 and as the main theme and also you lose all changes.
The Newspaper 8.1 is a whole new theme so an update from 4 to 8.1 may cause the same issues as switching to another theme (but we did try to maintain compatibility where ever possible).
Always make a full backup of your current installation – https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups and then do a clean update, meaning that we recommend that you delete the old version of the theme before uploading the new one – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ update also the plugins that come bundled with the theme files from the /plugins folder. In the “how to update” guide is specified that you will have to run the script that will import from database your settings.
The shortcodes have been changed so old ones will not work anymore. Please note that old files customization or custom CSS will not work with the new version and you will have to adjust or re-add them. Bottom line is that newspaper 8.1 is a whole new theme built from scratch.
Unfortunately, you will have to clear your agenda and spare a bit of time to adjust all your settings to the new version of the theme.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hi,
Content for pages when the mobile theme is active, is limited to the Mobile editor
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
However the website should function correctly without the mobile theme plugin, on mobile devices. Please try deactivating all plugins except theme plugins and clear any caching installed, temporarily remove custom code from theme panel, or theme files. Switch to the main theme if you use a child theme.
Then check if the issue is still happening. Let us know the results.
Thanks
Hi,
Unfortunately I do not know how that system works, and we have not made any tests with this VideoSwiper. Maybe you are not installing or configuring it properly, or it is simply conflicting with the theme.
You could try again while having nothing but theme plugins active and see if this has any effect. Or try with a default WordPress theme.
Thanks
Hi,
Please provide more details about the issue, what exactly is happening with the widgets. Maybe the theme did not install properly. You could try a fresh theme install
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Use only theme provided plugins, and no custom code. Check the theme system status as well
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Please also check with your hosting provider if the mbstring extension for PHP is installed on the server (this can cause blank widget page)
– http://php.net/manual/en/mbstring.installation.php
Thanks
Hi jmisenti,
First of all, please check your system status parameters to be according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ Clear all the caches and check after the results. For a right way of demo importing data, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
I tried another time to desactivate, delete and install the latest plugin and it works great.
Thanks for your support.
Hi,
There should not be such big differences between the two caching plugins. You must test in the same circumstances. Use this guide to configure the cache
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
There are also multiple topics about improving page speed that you can follow
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/score-100100-pagespeed-with-newspaper-wordpress-theme/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/newspaper-theme-speedify-your-website/
Thanks
Hi,
Please check our changelog from Theme Forest because there you will found all of the information regarding on theme update to 8.1 version and there you can see which exact files have been changed. Look at this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/2rLsaXwt -> https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609
Also, notice that our recommended way of theme installing is doing it via FTP way because this is the best and surest way in this case. Check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/ The latest theme update was deeply tested and it should work as expected, without any problems.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello Hevila,
First of all, please ensure that you are using the latest theme version, installed via FTP way and also, make sure that you are using only the plugins that come bundled with the theme’s packet. If you use any other untested plugins, you should remove all of these because many unknown issues might be caused by these. If the problem persists after this, you should provide your website URL so I can take a closer look at it.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
The theme is not installed at the moment on the website you provided, so we cannot inspect the issue
– https://www.screencast.com/t/U0zpejnjYo
The mobile menus should display the same menu that you have set on desktop, the socials and login/register
– https://www.screencast.com/t/EdCZN8bOy
Thanks
Simion, tks for your reply.
You are right, there is no bottom ad in the structure. But the problem is that I installed the default theme and didnt modify it.
So how can I inser the bottom ad code in the structure?
cheers,
There should be no plugins for TagDiv blocks in your /plugins/ folder – would be good thing to double check. For example if you had ionmag installed first, then switched on Newspaper, it might be seeing those.
Dunno. very weird! (I don’t work here, but use both themes.)
I am running Newspaper8 and definitely not IonMag. Should the “Red Blocks” even appear on Newspaper8’s TagDiv Composer?
Also, I uninstalled plugins and that did not help.

Whatsapp links only work on mobile and *if* you have the whatsapp ‘app’ actually installed — that’s how it works; clicking link without having Whatsapp ‘running’ will give broken link error.
Using any link-follower trying to follow that link basically means the link checker is too stupid to recognize whatsapp (kind of like W3C RSS checker that doesn’t understand srcset tags, or https enclosure images).
Presumably one *should* have rel=nofollow tags on those links, and didn’t look to see if they are there or not.
