After installing a pre-built website on Newspaper (in my case Cosmopolitan Pro), the site does not display as per the demo. Are there extra steps to take when configuring the theme settings? Do you also have to install the cloud templates for the homepage, posts etc? The demo looks completely different and doesn’t incorporate the layout and design I like.
What else do I need to do to get the demo site working and looking like the preview?
I’m running the very latest version of Newspaper, and have tried the cloud templates as well with no luck. Have deleted all posts and pages and have tried removing and reinstalling the pre-built Metropolitan Pro demo, but still doesn’t work.
Any help or advice appreciated as it’s driving me nuts!
i installed newspaper theme, and all requiered plugins, but when i go to theme panel i cant edit anything, also when i click on prebuilt templates, the option to uninstall the current templatte disappered, i tried deleting the theme and installing again, it works for few seconds, but then disappears completely again.
Hello!
There is a long list: https://demo.tagdiv.com/select_demo/newspaper-prebuilt-websites/?demo-type=pro

Thank you!
Hi,
You can import the templates of Newspaper week if you want to use that demo. You can import them from the cloud template -> https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/All -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-use-tagdiv-cloud-library-templates/ or install a prebuilt website https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
Thank you!
Hello,
1. You can choose what template you want from our prebuilt websites or create your own design.
2. I recommend installing the prebuilt website without content, only design or import the templates individually https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
Thank you!
Hello, I recently purchased the theme but when I installed it, it loads more error information in the footer. Could you help me because I have installed several demos to see and the same thing happens to me?
Hello,
If you want posts, menus, and other elements from the demo, you need to install content, but I recommend creating your own posts, categories, menus, tags, and other elements https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
Thank you!
Hello,
What is the problem with style.css? Did you try to install it and received this error message, “ERROR: The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.”? If yes, you are probably uploading the whole theme package. You have to upload only the theme zip file, not the whole package which contains other items

After installing the theme and activating it you will find in the Prebuilt websites all the theme demos and you can import whatever demo you want => https://www.screencast.com/t/6rf5g0Dxc0K
If this isn’t what you mean, please provide more details and screenshots.
Thank you!
Well, it seems I finally managed to make it work by installing a Theme example without including demo data! So it is done!
Hello,
I need the username and password to access the website, but please make sure that the header cloud templates are installed https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/

Hi 2020crystal, the most simple and faster way will be to install a demo – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-installing-demos/ and after that just edit it. The homepage can be edited suing the theme builder – https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial-2/
Hi,
You can install only the design -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/ or you can import the templates you like from Cloud Library -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-cloud-library-templates/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloud-library-category-templates/
Thank you!
When installing the “Free News” demo content, I had a different “First Name” and “Display name publicly as” configured (i.e. John) in /wp-admin/profile.php. I changed first name to something else (i.e. JJN) and made sure “Display name publicly as” reflected that. However, the URL for author posts still reflects /author/john/ versus /author/jjn/. How can I edit this?
Hi,
You can install only the design -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/ or you can import the templates from Cloud Library -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-cloud-library-templates/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloud-library-category-templates/
Thank you!
Hello @tellesio!
Ok. I will try to explain again. Also, you can test everything on a staging site: https://themeisle.com/blog/wordpress-staging-site/.
Activate the theme in your staging install with the same purchase code: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-6-how-to-activate-the-theme/
Before installing any demo from the theme, maybe you have some posts and images (this is what I mean by your content). After installing a demo with content, you will get the demo’s content and your initial content. In case you want to change the demo with another one and install a new demo with content, then the content from the previous demo will be overwritten, and you will get the current demo’s content and your initial content.
If you install a demo without content, then you will get the design of the demo with your content. So, you do not have to worry if you install the demo without content.
Check this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
I hope it is more understandable now!
Thank you!
Hello @tellesio!
If you install a demo with content, then you will lose the previous content and not your articles.
You have the possibility of installing a demo without content, and the articles will remain on your end. It will overwrite only the previous design.
If you want only a section or a template from another demo, then you have the possibility of installing only that template or section from the Cloud Library.
Thank you!
Dear Support Team,
I hope this message finds you well.
I recently purchased and installed the “Newspaper” theme on my WordPress site. However, I’ve encountered some significant issues that need your urgent attention:
Website Stuck: After installing the theme and attempting to import the demo layout, my website became unresponsive. It appears to get stuck during the import process.
High Resource Usage: Following the installation and demo import, my cPanel shows an unusually high usage of server resources. Specifically, the physical memory is getting exhausted, which is causing performance issues.
Could you please provide me with a solution to these problems? I would appreciate any guidance or steps I should follow to resolve this situation and successfully use the theme without overloading my server.
Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards,
Danish Abbas

Hello,
I recommend installing only design of the prebuilt website and after it will show your content https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
– If you install with content, it will import demo posts, menus, logos, categories, the homepage, custom design where available, theme panel settings.
– If you install without content, it will import only the design and theme panel settings.
Thank you!
Hello!
You can install any demo without content. If you install the demo with content, then, of course, it will replace all your content and design as well. If you install a demo without content, then it will replace the previous design.
You can return the previous design only if you have a backup.
You can import only some sections or templates of your current-designed pages from those demos. The template’s manager is in Cloud Templates. You can preview the demos here: https://demo.tagdiv.com/select_demo/newspaper-prebuilt-websites/.
There are the header and footer recreated from the default PRO demo. So, you can use them, and they are cloud templates that look similar to the default ones.
If you do not like any demo style, then you can create a page from scratch by installing a blank page and customizing it in the tagdiv composer. Please check out this video about how to create a website from scratch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoGQ0d5kIBg
Please check the differences between cloud vs default templates from our guides:
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-cloud-library-templates/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-default-templates/
We recommend to use cloud/PRO templates in order to have the possibility to edit them with the TagDiv Composer which contains a lot of functions and features, please check our tutorial here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
More documentation about the cloud templates is here:
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloud-library-templates/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-cloud-library-templates/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloud-library-category-templates/
You shouldn’t install a page template if you like the one you have.
Yes. You can manually customize any cloud template with the tagdiv composer.
We have some settings for the rows and different stretch sizes: https://www.screencast.com/t/bsbB5P97A
Make sure that this setting is disabled as here: https://app.screencast.com/FOwnXv63emAOR
Thank you!
I noticed in the plugin overview that “Dedicated Plugins for Prebuilt Websites” is also included, but this plugin is not included in the prebuilt installation of the Cali Sight demo and is not automatically activated.
So I’m wondering what exactly does this plugin do? Everything seems to work fine without installing it. Can you elaborate on that? I don’t understand. I think someone else might be interested in this as well.
Is it really necessary to use this plugin if I use the pre-installed demo? As I said, everything works great without it.
Thanks!
Hi, I’m using Urban Observer on my site but I can’t get the same style of titles that I see in the demo. I’ve searched every section but can’t find the solution. Can you guys help me? I thought by installing the theme it would come out automatically but it doesn’t.
Hi,
There are a lot of factors which can make your site slow. Make sure you use only some templates and fewer functionalities and options.
Some factors which you need to take into account are:
External factors: server speed, if you are using CDN or not, the external resources loaded by your website like ads, fonts, tracking scripts like Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics, Twitter analytics, Hotjar and so on.
Internal factors: the number of elements on the page, image size, image formats, if you are using mobile optimized layouts, console errors, if you are using the Standard Pack plugin or not, if you are using the PRO demo or a standard one.
Also, installing a demo doesn’t guarantee that you’ll achieve the same page speed as tested on our demos. You’ll need to perform optimizations. You can use caching plugins like Super Cache or the premium WP Rocket.
There are many optimization guides provided by our users here in the forum, some made by us; you could check some of them

Hello, when I use the Prebuilt Website function, I encounter an error as shown in the image. I tried deleting the theme and reinstalling it from scratch, but the issue persists. I also tried installing a different demo version, but the error still occurs. Please help me check.
