I trust tagdiv team and there is no doubt that Newspaper is in fact the best theme available in many ways. I also believe that td composer is a great addition and will be very helpful in the long tun. However, I feel compelled to say that starting version 8, this forum has seen many users reporting issues, caused apparently due to td composer (some issues obviously due to improper installation procedures). In any case, knowing the nature of any such major update, I skipped updating 8 and waited for 8.1.
Updating did not cause any major issue in my case although it did wipe out all my sidebar widgets. I had to spend some time to make them work again. To those who have not yet updated to 8 or 8.1, I would suggest note down all your settings like widgets and stuff before upgrading.
The other thing I faced is, my social counters stopped working on facebook although I upgraded the social counter plugin also. I deleted cache, etc. but it didn’t work. My Post fb likes had started disappearing before I upgraded to 8.1 so I wouldn’t count the upgrade responsible for it but after upgrading, my fb Page likes also became 0. In order to verify the issue was not with facebook, I used Jetpack facebook Likes plugin and my Page likes came back. So I suspect there is some issue with the plugin, either tdc or social counter that caused the Page Likes to become 0. This forced me to deactivate tdc although it did not solve the problem then. I must add that after some time when I tried with another computer, the fb Likes reappeared even using td social counter, so the issue may have been caused by some traces of cache or whatever on the first computer but the main point to be noted is, the Page likes did disappear. Hope that can be looked into. For the time being I have switched to Jetpack fb counter but hope to switch back to td social counter soon. I guess I will wait for the next tdc update. I am wiring all this with the hope that it will help users and developers resolve whatever issues may be there.

I like and trust the TagDiv team, I just believe that there is no way to generalize with a page-only solution, when you have a magazine theme and the idea is to propitiate through WordPress and its quick editing of notes via posts, the solution Should consider better migration.
From what I see in the forum we are several who have problems with the posts. In my case it is the sidebar that overlaps with the content that was previously in Visual Composer.
After installing TagDiv you can not choose to use it for one thing or another. It is a definite change since if it is active there is a conflict with the VC and the sidebar does not work. If we activate the VC and deactivate the TDC we simply do not have the blocks for the main pages.
That is, would not it be too much to ask for an intermediary solution?
I do not need an editor for the posts, I WANT TO USE THE TDC. But if the sidebar does not work and the VC is conflicting … maybe you have to change the subject. Even enjoying it and using it for so long.

I had to deactivate tagdiv composer, delete it and then reinstalled it. And it worked.
Hope it works for you as well.
I have turn on the POST SETTINGS>TOP ARTICLE SHARING and I’m seeing Asian characters in the Facebook and Twitter Share.
See http://www.usairnet.com/2017/07/25/zapata-flyboard/1004978/ (Look below the title and date)
My language is set to English-US. I have the latest version installed. I have checked the page from different browsers and different platforms.
The Asian characters unexpectedly showed up.
How do I get all English characters in my social feed share/like.
I have the same problem.
I don’t know why a great theme than Newspaper changes the builder, but just for pages?
A great mistake…If WP has a based post, the focusing has mean to the posts, not pages.
If we install TD Composer the Posts broke. If we don’t use, we can’t edit the pages…
Please, correct this for all of us. The sidebar are essential for all.
Thanks!
Hello!
I have just bought Newspaper theme [Version 8.1] and I would like to modify some of the modules, but I can’t activate the child theme in WordPress Admin, it says “The parent template is corrupt. Newspaper parent template must be installed.” But the Newspaper v.8.1. parent template is installed. And next to this error message I saw the child theme’s name is “Newspaper 7 Child theme”.
I found another topic where you said I should use “function theme_enqueue_styles()” lines without ‘c’, but it didnt work for me.
My FTP folder look like this:

And here is my child theme functions.php:

Thank you!
Please help me.
I reinstall website and I disable tagdiv composer my homepage apear with error:

Hello! How can I make co-authors for posts? I have installed the plugin, Co-Author Plus, as recommended by WordPress, but this doesn’t seem to work. Thanks!
1) make sure you properly installed the new theme and related plugins — you need to delete old folders, not simply over-write them; but make backups via FTP first — as ever
2) after update,
– run WP-Optimize plugin to clear transients
– resave permalinks to clear micro transients
3) make sure you clear/reset any caching plugins prior to update/upgrade and afterwards; if not using caching plugin, the 1 and 2 above should help.
That’s what I do anyway. 🙂
KNOWN SECURITY ISSUES:
* Newspaper 6.7.1
* Newspaper 7.0
* WordPress prior to 4.7
MAKE A SECURITY PRACTICE POLICY CHECKLIST FOR YOUR SITE(S):
Also good to setup a security policy internally — you should be checking update changelog/readmes for *all* plugins/themes you use and for WordPress core — as the TagDiv theme security notice for 6.7x was included way back in April 2016:
Version 6.7.2 – April 27th, 2016
fix: social counter facebook issue with new API keys
fix: security issue
a minor issue with 7.0 was fixed with 7.1 for those early adopters who rushed to install 7.0
Version 7.1 – May 20th, 2016
fix: panel got stuck while saving in specific cases, mostly related to categories
fix: Related articles filter was not working with the settings from the panel if you choose related by tags and the post had no tags set.
fix: contributor users cannot change the post template now, this is more in line with WordPress
fix: Security issues
fix: back to top on ie9
fix: missing woocommerce add to cart on mobiles
==============
Everything on the web requires periodic checkups; it’s not static like old websites with static shtml files or similar. WordPress, plugins, PHP, MySQL, WooCommerce, etc., all need to be *checked* when updates are done — new features, no need to upgrade unless you read the help info first; for security patches, these should *always* be done when originally notified!
I don’t work here — but our ‘security practice policy’ internally forces us to CHECK when new updates come out to see WHY they were updated, in case of security issue(s).
Recommended you consider the same, or hire a company to do it for you.

thew malware is in the database files
It happened to some sites I was managing,
1) run a mysql search for : %%traffictrade%%
2) delete it from table
3) switch to latest php version
4) make sure to change all passwords
I would also check on some of the plug ins that have been installed
like Chris posted above scan your site with scuri make sure none of your photos, plugins are clean
Hi,
I was using old version of newspaper theme (Around 1 year old)
yesterday someone injected Malware in Header Ads code – traffictrade.life/scripts.js/
I tried removing it but it was again getting inserted. Then I uninstalled old theme and installed new version
Now that Malware is not appearing but I want to know whether newer version is malware safe or not? Is there any known bugs related to old version that says Malware can be injected in Newspaper theme?
Hi This issue is coming because of fancybox, I dont know how it is coming. I checked my plugins which I have installed, but there is no such plugin.
I installed tagdiv composer and the pages now resolve.
However, many of the elements I previously created with Visual Composer are either corrupt or don’t show at all, some images are now a completely different size too and throw the layout out. If I disable Visual Composer more elements just show lines of code instead of the intended design element. e.g.
[vc_tta_tabs style=”modern” color=”peacoc” alignment=”center” active_section=”1″ css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_tta_section title=”Overview” tab_id=”1491972503254-34a1c000-3dcd8379-50bf”]
How are we supposed to proceed when the site was originally made with Visual Composer and it is suggested we now switch to Tagdiv Composer?

If you didn’t keep backups of your site (good idea btw!), or the prior downloads for install from TF, you can send TagDiv and email asking for the older version. I think you just email them and include your purchase code, and they can send you older version(s) 🙂
You can upgrade to the version 7.1x which is advisable if not wanting to go to 8x.

I should have mentioned. You need to go to Theme Panel, then Ads, then Header Ad. There will be a section called Your Header Ad. The hacker will have installed the code in this box. You delete the code, and the problem with stop. However, the code will eventually reappear, and then you have to remove it again.
Hello,
td composer is not working after updating to theme version 8.1 and also updating the td composer plugin.
I then deactivated td composer and installed visual composer. That totally broke the site.
I now have td composer activated, but can’t use it.
My site is http://carolinaepicurean.com
After updating to 8.1 I’m now seeing the following error, and my pages are not resolving correctly:
td_api_base::mark_used_on_page : a component with the ID: tdc_state is not set.
/web/sites/steve83/cancuncare.com/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_api.php
wp booster error:
Missing parameter: 'file'
/web/sites/steve83/cancuncare.com/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_autoload_classes.php
I removed the wp bakery composer plug in and installed the same plug in but that provided with the theme – 5.2 (advised in a different support ticket) but am still seeing the issue.
Hi, I am working on democracynewslive.com and I’ve been trying to set up a new homepage design with tag div composer. I’ve deleted visual composer plugin and re-installed tagdiv composer, but still the drag and drop function doest work. I can give you the credentials or we can use teamviewer, you can see it for yourself. I’m a webdeveloper myself. Please, this is highly urgent, I’d request you to place it on high priority.
Hello Catalin,
Thanks for the reply. You can go to medicalmagazine.gr homepage and see the banners at the bottom of page and the banner at right sidebar, right now their size is set to “contain”. As i told you in previous post, if you change image settings to “Cover”, images are zoomed and left-right side of picture is not visible. Version is updated with files downloaded yesterday from themeforest. Update done with envato install manager and then by overwriting files with unzip. Cache was disabled and cleared. Visual Composer is disabled. Home page is recreated with new editor. I will disable more plugins tonight and reply.

But the effect is zero…please help.. the site has to be running again before the weekend..
Thanks

Hello ariful,
I have tested on my side and the Big Grid Full seems to be right fit on the page, as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/tVkzvVTy Ensure that you are using the latest theme version installed via FTP way, clear all the caches and check the results. Also, please notice that we do not recommend using the TD Composer for all the pages which were created with the Visual Composer. Check the following guide for a better using our page builder, like this -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message!
