Hi,
It could be a matter of permissions for the uploads folder then. That is preventing the demo from installing successfully. Try to set the permissions like mentioned here
– https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-fix-file-and-folder-permissions-error-in-wordpress/
If you already did that and the problem remains, send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login as well as FTP or cPanel. Please include a link to this topic in the email.
thanks
Hi,
Did you install a demo? Currently it looks like the black demo is installed, the screenshots look like the default demo. Once installed a demo can only be removed by manually uninstalling it or installing a different one.
If for some reason it uninstalls without any action on your part, then something is wrong. Could be something wrong with the database or server, maybe check error logs if possible or contact the hosting provider and ask them to check if there were any problems.
Thanks
Hello,
WordPress only adds 1 sample post and it does not reappear periodically. The theme adds demo posts when installing the demos with content. If you keep installing and uninstalling demos, you will receive the sample posts, but if you are not changing demos, you should not receive any sample content.
Thank you!
Hello Amit,
Please notice that demo was custom made using only the TD Composer (Flex Block) which is not available for Visual Composer, sorry! We recommend installing the demo from Theme panel and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
The latest articles title is different, that happens because of the gadgets demo design. When installing a demo there will be a custom design imported.
That demo uses block header template 5 with some modifications. Also it uses a bigger font-size and line-height for the titles.
What happened is that in the demo stylesheet there is some customization that will apply to a few blocks, for the block title
– https://www.screencast.com/t/NHZRwuYCkz
If you remove the code it will not load anymore and the block titles will be as default.
Or edit the page with the composer and set the block title font properties manually, like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/z5YVIIkR
The result should be like this – https://www.screencast.com/t/fuLyuz1a
The length can be changed, simply click in the field and enter your desired value.
Hi,
in the Nature Love demo, the main page features photos that overlap each over. I tried installing this demo, but it returned errors despite all recommendations on settings were met. As a result, I have the demo installed but some of the photos were not successfully copied, so I cannot see how the overlap feature was set up. I would like to understand how to set up two photos overlapped as in the example – could not find it in the theme documentation. Thank you in advance.
Hi,
since I’ve moved my site to another hosting I’m experiencing some issues with fonts on site (centralna.ba). Fonts on site are not the one I choose in theme panel. I tried installing another demo to maybe fix this but it’s all the same no matter what demo I’m using. You can see it here: https://ibb.co/gTxWAp.
I looked at console for errors or some warnings while loading site and I did found this: GET https://fonts.googleapis.com/css 400 (). Could that be the cause of this problem?
I’m guessing if this happened to anyone before so maybe you’re familiar with this issue. Could you please help me so the fonts are applying correctly on my site?
Thanks.

Yesterday I purchased a Newspaper Theme. I tried installing on localhost and it took me 2 hours to figure out how to install it. Now I am not able to figure out how to activate WPBakery (visual builder). Help me !!
Also I want to create an educational website. So, please help me which should be the best demo to upload.
Hello,
There are 2 ways to install a demo. With our without content. Please read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
If you do not need the sample content, simply install a demo without content.
There is an important note in the documentation regarding editing and keeping the demo content as your own. it will get removed when changing demos. Please do not keep the dummy data as your own final content.
Thank you!
So you lost posts that you created? That would mean there are problems with the website database where posts are kept.
As I mentioned above, only imported posts by the demo will be removed when a demo is uninstalled. You own created posts will not be touched. Unless maybe you edited the dummy posts from the demo instead of creating new ones, if you did that then the posts are lost
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
Only if made a full backup before could they be restored.
Hi,
When installing a new demo, your posts (the ones you create) are not affected. If you install a demo with content, there will be demo content imported included some posts. When the demo is uninstalled these demo posts are removed, they are for demo purposes only.
So basically only demo posts are affected, your posts will not be touched in any way. Do not edit demo posts and use them, they will be removed when uninstalling the demo.
Hello dera,
Before uninstalling your actual demo you should make a full backup to your database to avoid losing all of your data. If your posts were been made from scratch and if you have not edit the dummy content, your data will not be lost. Install the Balck Version demo from Theme panel if you want to have that layout. Notice that is too hard to begin to create from scratch the same layout which looks like with Black version. Install the demo and enjoy it!
Thanks.
Hello Philcomputing,
If you want to have the same layout with our demo you have to install that demo from Theme panel. Please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
If you installed the demo without content, the demo homepage will not be provided. The design is imported, but it will only apply for the elements used to build the demo page.
Let’s take the top section of the demo you mention, the big grid and stretched row. The row contains a class set when the demo was built
– https://www.screencast.com/t/XYH6G0vnkxU
With class – https://www.screencast.com/t/eJrVjd9C
Without class – https://www.screencast.com/t/sl1J9PxBl
So you are missing the class “import_video_slider_bg”.
Of course this simple effect would be perfectly achievable in the CSS tab of the row, without the class, like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/iPKionOiU9X4
This is exactly what the class does. Sets a negative margin top of “-48” and a padding top of “48”.
Despite installing the demo with no content and the homepage not being provided, you can copy the demo page content from the theme files and see how the page is built
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/wish-about-the-demo/
Let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks
Hi,
Everything the demo imported will be removed. The demo stylesheet (meaning demo custom CSS), demo posts (if you installed with content), the theme panel settings will be removed. If you for some reason edited demo posts (dummy content) note that these will be removed.
You could make a full backup before removing the demo, so if something goes wrong you would have that.
Also the theme panel settings can be exported and imported
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-export-theme-settings/
Installing a new demo removes the previous one automatically, that cannot be changed. Only one demo can be installed at a time.
Thanks
Hi there,
I want to install a new demo, but I am wondering which settings will change when I do this (colors, logo, favicon etc)? I was wondering so I can make notes before and change them back.
Is there a way to install a new demo without any settings changing? And is there perhaps a way to redo this action?
Thanks for all the help!

Hi,
There should be a small slider when you hover the demo image
– https://www.screencast.com/t/U9yVCmUviT
Installing it from the right sidebar where the list of the demos is present, will install the demo with content by default
– https://www.screencast.com/t/zoemqCxOZV76
Hello,
You should install the theme without content! Notice that’s a simple dummy data which has been created for demo presentation. Check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
It is small because of the line-height imported by the demo, installing a demo will import theme panel settings. The gadgets demo initially uses header style 5 and a line-height for the main menu of 48px
– https://www.screencast.com/t/4PFowsFu
That looks good in that particular case, if you change the header style it may not.
That means the header will have a total height of 48px in this case. Set the line-height to default or a higher value for the main menu and the logo will be display fully.
Let me know if you have more questions or you need help with something else.
Thanks
I downloaded and installed Newspaper today but haven’t been able to edit any pages. I’ve deactivated all non-theme plugins—except for site required like WooCommerce—and still have not been able to get it to load. All I get is a white/gray screen without anything else loading. Green lights on the system status screen. Behavior occurs with both the parent and child themes. Also after installing the demo content. No dice.
Any suggestions for troubleshooting?
See this guide https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
Hi,
Depends on what you mean by data. Installing/uninstalling a demo will have no effect on your own created posts or pages for example.
Installing a demo with content will provide the demo homepage, without content there will be no homepage included. You can copy the homepage form the demo files in that case, and configure it
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/getting-started-from-demo-best-practises/
Also the process will import the demo custom stylesheet and theme panel settings belonging to the demo. The theme panel settings are essential if you want the website to look like the demo, colors, font settings etc will be imported.
Your theme panel settings will be replaced if you decide to install a demo.
Thanks
I’d like to get a “live preview” of many of the demos running on my own data (posts, pages).
The option to install the demo asks me if I want to bring it’s own data or not, but even if I choose to install the demo without importing example data, it will erase my data and overwrite it (even with a blank state).
What’s the correct way of “installing” a demo layout without losing my data?
Hi,
You can install a demo from here – https://www.screencast.com/t/qJxUhpDoLmv
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-installing-demos/
The demos can be viewed here – https://demo.tagdiv.com/select_demo/select_demo_newsmag
Please let us know if you have more questions.
Thanks
Hi,
Installing a demo will import it’s specific theme panel settings, custom design etc. Unless you made an export of the theme panel settings or a general website backup, there would be no way to return the previous settings
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-export-theme-settings/
Glad you could sort it out in the end.
