Hi,
The best way would be to simply install the demo
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
This will import theme panel settings and custom design specific to the demo. If you install it with demo content, the homepage will be provided.
If you do not want to install the demo, you could try to re-create. We have no guide for that at the moment however. These would be some similar topics
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/getting-started-from-demo-best-practises/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/wish-about-the-demo/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/is-it-possible-to-change-the-website-demo-from-one-to-another/
If you have any problems or this is not what you meant, please provide some more details about what exactly is not working or if you are not sure of something, and I will help you.
Thanks
Hi Team,
I lost all my theme settings after accidentally installing a demo theme, how can I retrieve my old theme settings?
You could try to replicate that website with the tagDiv composer. There are many blocks and grids to choose from to display your posts
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
You can see them all in the live demo, check the “Features” menu. Also there are multi-purpose elements. Build a new page and start experimenting with the elements, row layouts etc. For full width results you can stretch the rows
– https://www.screencast.com/t/WrvV0gKfnlA5
You can set background colors, images or videos for row, check the row settings
– https://www.screencast.com/t/bbLWShGAzM
Also there are many demos you can check out, maybe you will decide to install a demo. See them all here
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/select_demo/select_demo_newspaper
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
Hi,
Check the permissions on the uploads folder, that could be the cause
– http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-fix-file-and-folder-permissions-error-in-wordpress/
Also be sure to check the theme requirements
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Then try installing the demo you want again while having all other plugins deactivated, leave only theme plugins active.
If there still is a problem, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login information, as well as FTP or cPanel access if possible. We will take a look.
Also include a link to this topic in the email.
Thanks
Hi,
That is not possible by a theme option. Each demo contains custom design created by us, each is unique. This design along with theme panel settings will be imported as soon as the demo is installed
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/demos_introduction/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
That block 5 has custom design for it, only in that demo. By default it looks like this
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-5/
However you could use the design for that block without installing the demo if you don’t want to. This is the code used to style the block like that
– http://prntscr.com/jztqes
This code can be entered in Theme panel->Custom CSS section, it will affect all the block
5 unless made more specific
.td_block_5 .td_module_3 {
padding-bottom: 16px;
}
.td_block_5 .td_module_3 .td-module-image .td-post-category {
background-color: transparent;
position: relative;
color: #ff036e;
margin-right: 0;
padding: 0 0 8px 0;
}
The font properties of the category tag can be modified in general, same for post titles
– https://www.screencast.com/t/m4HkdGauY37
Or per block – https://www.screencast.com/t/WjFDogad
The color you can change in the code if needed. Let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks
Hi,
So you are referring to the Fashion demo, this one to be exact
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_fashion/
This demo can be installed just like the others
– https://www.screencast.com/t/TgzPD7ltU
What exactly is happening in your case that prevents you from installing it?
Regarding the issue with the Cloud library plugin, that is currently under investigation and we will try to fix it in a future update. It was caused in a few cases by plugins, you could try as a test to deactivate them all and leave only theme plugins active, check if this has any effect.
If not, then please try and wait for a new update of the plugin and theme. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks
Hi,
Is there a way to see which elements or settings are used on the demos without installing the actual demo?
For example: I like the way the 3 images are displayed in this demo under “What we do”. How can I see whch element and setting is used for it?
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_construction/
Hi, I’ve just installed the Travel Blog demo and in the online demo you can navigate to the categories in the main navigation bar as well as the sub categories. In my demo site, you can’t navigate to the main categories, only to the sub categories. For example “Place”, “Food”, “Tips”, “More” all have “#” but in the demo site they go to the actual category pages. So in summary, I’d like the demo I’ve installed to be exactly like the demo website. Thanks
Hello,
The design you mention is a custom css added to the block 15 of the business demo. Each demo will have such elements that are only available when installing that particular demo. You cannot import just specific parts of a demo unfortunately.
Thanks.
I’m installing demos politics but the banner (Revolution Slider) does not appear, how can I fix it?
already install the puglin rev-slider but for free.
thanks
Hi,
1. That image is set in the demo stylesheet, I believe at the moment the demo was created there was no theme panel setting. So the image was set there
– https://www.screencast.com/t/qT46uj028x
In order to set your own, please remove that highlighted code from the demo stylesheet. Then the background you set in the theme panel will apply
– https://www.screencast.com/t/jZmgeqTRfFw
Sorry for any inconvenience created by this.
2. Twitter will probably not work if you are not using he latest theme version, there were changes made by them. Try installing this social counter plugin
– http://cdn.tagdiv.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/td-social-counter.zip
If it still not works, download the latest theme package 8.8.1 and update the theme and social counter (they should be automatically updated when the theme is updated however)
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thanks
please just like the demo. is it possible to do that without installing the demo?
all I want is the black version with white text colors and all that the settings without the content pages or tag div composer page build up.
please, how possible is that?
See this guide on how to install demos https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/. But first, make sure your web host meets these parameters https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ (check under Newspaper> System Status in wordpress dashboard. Those parameters should be green if your host meets them).
Hello,
Unfortunately I cannot understand what you mean. What is the error you are facing?
Do you want to install a demo with content? https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
Please provide more details to what you mean.
Thank you!
Hi,
Yes, some demos when installed will try to load local images. be sure to check the theme panel after installing a demo and remove/replace the demo images with your own. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Please let us know if you have more questions.
Thanks
Hi,
All the demos are made with the tagDiv composer, using theme blocks, grids etc. The demos used to be made with Visual composer previously, but they have been remade. The tagDiv composer is the main page builder provided with the theme. However Visual composer (now WPBakery) is still provided in the package.
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
So there will be no problem creating pages with our page builder. Also there are many demos to choose from and install

Hello corpsue,
Please check our useful guide for installing demo from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
@havardkrislok The child theme is useful if you want to modify theme files mainly, so if you plan to do that you can use it. The guide mentioned what files are supported to be modified in the child theme.
More information about child themes can always be found online
– https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
– http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/wordpress-child-theme-pros-cons/
– https://www.wordpressdepartment.com/wordpress-child-theme-pros-cons-wordpress-child-theme/
For CSS customization for example, there are custom code sections in the theme panel
– https://www.screencast.com/t/1ION93IaM
The guide mentions where you can find the child theme
– https://www.screencast.com/t/tuvJrGHeC7
This child theme has to be installed like any normal theme and activated. It is provided ready to be uploaded by FTP, if you want to install it with WordPress you must zip it first
– https://www.screencast.com/t/UqeFIgH8s
For demos please check here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/demos_introduction/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
These demos will install for the theme, in no relation to having a child theme or not. They can be uninstalled or switched at any time. If a demo is uninstalled the website will be as it was before installing it.
Let us know if you have further questions.
Thanks
Hi. I’m completely new to WordPress, themes and especially child themes. It is very hard to understand where to begin, but I understand installing a child theme is generally recommended if one need to add code later. But I have more questions than answers. The child theme “tutorial” is not very useful for a beginner, like how do I install one? https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/ I’ve tried uploading it like I did with the “main” newspaper theme (newspaper.zip), but I don’t find a zip file named “childtheme.zip” or similar. I only find a folder named “Newspaper-child” with the files functions.php and styles inside. Do I upload theese files? I have a lot of beginner questions like: Can I still use one of the included demos to start? But I don’t find any help in the documentation. Tips where to start? Don’t want to install one of the demos in the “main” theme and start changing them before I understand how I can safely build the site without risking losing custom settings, content etc.
Hi,
When a demo is uninstalled, all the demo related content will be removed (demo posts, menus, categories etc) The theme panel settings will also be reset.
Your own created and published posts and pages will not be affected (unless you manually edited demo posts and pages and modified them instead of creating new ones).
These would be the things to keep in mind in this case. Installing a new demo will import it’s design (all demos have custom design, except default demo) and new theme panel settings. The demo home page will be provided only if you install the demo with content. If you don’t install it with content you could re-create it manually or copy it fro the demo files. Some more useful topics here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/after-import-demo-not-like-preview/
Some users have local copies of the website, useful to test plugins, updates, and even switching demos. This would be more safer then doing it in the live website.
And remember to make full backups before making any major changes, just to be safe.
Thanks
Hi,
I want to change my theme.
I currently have the “Default Demo” one.
Lets say I want to switch to “Lifestyle Magazine”, how can i switch from one to another without deleting my content (= articles) ?
I’ve check the link https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/ but i’m not sure to understand the risks ?
My website : http://www.downshift.fr
Thank you in advance
Hi,
The post you mention seems to be displaying properly
– https://www.screencast.com/t/dscUgiK8
Also the homepage – https://www.screencast.com/t/06l8PMVgEq
You can install any of the available demos
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/select_demo/select_demo_newspaper
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
If you install a demo without content the homepage will not be included, so you will have to create it with the composer, or copy the demo homepage content. Some similar topics here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/getting-started-from-demo-best-practises/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/wish-about-the-demo/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/is-it-possible-to-change-the-website-demo-from-one-to-another/
Let us know if you have any problems.
Thanks
I thought you were decided to request a refund. We will try to help you with the problems you are having.
You simply have to install the theme, we have these guides
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-wordpress/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Be sure to check the theme system status panel after installing it. There are theme requirements in terms of WordPress and server that should be set. If needed contact your hosting provider for help
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Then install the demo you want. Choose with or without content
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
With content the homepage of the demo will be provided. You can edit that homepage and configure the elements to display your own content instead of the demo content.
Without content the demo homepage will not be provided, you will have to build it with the tagDiv composer.
Let us know if you have problems and we will try to help you.
Hi,
That message you are receiving is a WordPress message, not coming from the theme. Admins have access to all the settings of the website, so if you are the admin the problem is caused by something else. I found some topics you can follow
– https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/fix-not-allowed-access-page-error-wordpress/
– https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/247039/how-do-i-fix-the-sorry-you-are-not-allowed-to-access-this-page-error-i-get-on
– https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-overcome-this-error-in-WordPress-Sorry-you-are-not-allowed-to-access-this-page
The theme activation is in no relation to that message. If you do not activate it, there will be a constant notification displayed as you write or edit posts for example.
Also be sure to check the theme requirements panel, for optimal functionality
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Installing a demo is possible in 2 ways. Either install it with content (this will import the demo homepage and dummy content, theme panel settings etc)or install it without content (it will not provide the homepage, the rest will be the same).
Installing it with content will require more work from your part. The homepage will be provided just like in the demo, but it will display dummy content. You will then have to edit the page and edit blocks, grids etc to display your own content. Also set your own menus, logos etc.
Another way would be to install the demo without content, and instead of rebuilding the homepage copy the homepage structure of the demo. Like mentioned in these topics

Hi,
You can design your website to look in any way you want. The tagDiv composer and multi-purpose plugin elements already offer many possibilities, there are more new ones to come. Some demo videos about the page builder here

– https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0ARTSimnUY&index=5&list=PL6CsDkMaejhr2ExZCO73U11SSVKB9r_NE&t=25s
We also provide many demos that can be installed, or you can create your own unique design
