Hi,
There is an option to install the demo without the dummy content, but you will have to create your own pages. The predefined settings and classes will be loaded but until you create a page for example or recreate the one in the demo, in Visual composer, there will be no page structure. The demos are created as an example of what can be achieved using the theme. More information here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
Please note that if you choose to edit the demo dummy content, when in the future you will uninstall or install a different demo, this will remove the dummy content and the modifications you made to this content. This will not remove your own created content.
Thanks
Hello decentabid,
Do you have cleared all your chances after demo installing? You should do that, purge all CDN files if you are using the CDN system and check the results. If the problem is still there, send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so we can further inspect it closer your setup page. Provide there the link to this topic so we can easily identify you. Also, you can provide the FTP full access for further investigation.
Thanks for your understanding!
I installed a demo, but i don’t want the demo style to be loaded anymore. How can I avoid that? the reason is that I customized the background color of the menu, but in chrome, every time the page is loaded for a split second you see the black menu background of the demo style.
How can I do that?
thanks!
p.s. i am super happy with the theme, it’s been a breeze setting everything up!! thanks so much
Hello decentabid,
I recommend you to make a new clean install from scratch via FTP way and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme packet and rule out any conflicting plugins. After FTP installation, you should import and install the Scandal Demo according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-installing-demos/ Do not forget to import the demo with dummy content if you want some content in your website.
Thanks for your understanding!
Ok,
No problem. If you want to install a demo with content you simply need to follow this simple guide:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
Thank you!
Hello,
You will only find the homepages of the demos when installing the demo itself with content.
If you want the page layout of a specific demo, you can recreate it in visual composer or simply install the demo with content, copy the page shortcodes from classic and text mode and then paste them to your page. And uninstall the demo afterwards.
Thank you!
Hello natagrit,
1)Please notice that if you want to install the demo without any content, you have an option in panel, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/YEsdRibJw For more information about how you can install a demo, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-installing-demos/ Yes, if you will import the demo without the content, you should be able to make your website to look like in this demo.
2)Yes, if you will install the demo with content, you will see that in your backend will be installed some dummy data.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi.
I’m setting up the theme and need a bit of advice.
Here is our original website http://allontario.ca/ and we will be installing your theme ‘over it’. Meaning we will add the theme to the existing site. (to a copy of it)
Basically the plan is to use this demo https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ and fit our exsting content into the demo, so it will loook exactly the same
Couple of questions.
1. For demo import there is an option NOT to incllude the content. If I don’t include the content during the import – how my hompage will look like? Can I still be able to make it look like in the demo?
2. If I have to import the content, will there be a lot of posts brough over? Will new categories be added to m existing installation
Thanks a lot.

I installed on of the demos and got a trouble – social counter appears at the homepage but i cant change facebook app key etc. like in the documentation tutorial. Because there is no tagDiv Social Counter in widgets and in visual composer. I can only change [td_block_social_counter custom_title=”Будь с нами” facebook=”22222/
when editing “News” page. But there is no opportunity to enter App ID
Site – vrvision . ru
After I install the demo content on my “secure” SSL site, the site is classified as “not secure” in every web browser I try (Chrome, Firefox). However, when looking at this same theme on EnvatoMarket the demo of this theme is “secure” in each browser.
This issue does not come up after I install the theme, it only shows up after I install the theme + the demo content.
@Tuan, I think only the theme is installed.
Activate the theme
https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-6-how-to-activate-the-theme/
Install Demos
https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
You might need to import one of the demo – and which will give you option to import with content. I think then you will have the setup as you are expecting.
Maybe try this link also.

Hi,
I installed newspaper 7 on my localhost. I followed all steps on installation docs and everything went fine; however, after installation is completed, the site doesn’t look anything like the demo. It is missing all images, header, footer, navigation… etc.
Does the template work on localhost?
Am I missing anything while installing or do I need to do any else?
Thanks,
Tuan Nguyen
Hello,
You can install a theme demo like so: https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
If you do not want to install a demo but rather create the pages to look like the demos you will have to learn how to use visual composer to add and remove content https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/ and use block settings to filter your posts: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
The documentation provides lots of usefull information you will need to learn the theme’s options.
Thank you!
Hi,
I have tried everything I can do but unable to make the theme look like the Demo (after installing demo content), deleting old Page Builder, deteted demo content and re-installed again etc.
Is there anyways I can get a refund?
Thanks
Sam
Hi,
From what I can see you are using a different page builder editor instead of Visual composer for your page, this may cause errors. You should create your pages in Visual composer – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/ and also make sure you are using the latest version that comes with the theme package – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ Please try to disable all your plugins except Visual composer and see if the problem is still there. Then you can install the demo you choose – https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
Also you can find more information about the theme as well as tutorials to get you started, in the theme’s documentation here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-documentation/
Thanks
Hi,
You could just install the demo you want – https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/ and take it from there, then further personalize it to your liking by editing and changing the page in Visual composer if you want, or just add your own content to it.
Thanks
Hello,
I need to add the tabbed row which appears in the Newspaper demo to the default theme as shown here:
I managed to add it but I cannot add the custom styling like hovering colors, bold text, etc
here’s my trial:
I wonder if there’s a method to find the ready made block without installing the newspaper demo !
Thanks
I am facing few issues, listed below.
1) My site was not using Featured Images, but I added a plugin, and now all first image are added as Featured image. But some portion of my homepage still showing without images. Example

2) I check all those posts has Featured Images, and If I open those post manually once then the home page shows image. But I rechekced post had the featured image from the beginning. I triple checked from dashboard, no post is missing the Featured Images now.
3) How your Sppe Boasting API works, could this causing it? Is there a way to disable and test?
4) Do you have a guide for W3TC? I know you officially recommend WPSC.
5) If I was the post view to show in the bottom of the post instead of the top, below title what I have to do?
6) Do you have a guide for using child theme properly?
7) Do you have any good guide for using Facebook Instant Article?
8) Is there a guide or example or demo where I could see all blocks design, like right now I cant find a way to see whats the structure of Block 15 easily.
9) How to let people login via Facebook/Twitter, and could I use custom login, how to hook it.
10) Any guide to use Facebook Comments properly?
Hello giahancute2013,
You should try installing one of our demos from this list -> https://www.screencast.com/t/Jw5UUhgWDvJ and then you should check the backend because you’ll see what blocks have been used and how it was built. For starters, I’d recommend you to install the default demo. For more information about this way, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-installing-demos/
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
Maybe you installed the demo without dummy content. Please use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
Thank you!
When I install the demo content gives me this error message:
tagDiv importer detected an error. The importer will try to recover and continue to install the demo after you click ok on this dialog.
Steps to troubleshoot:
– Check the permissions on your upload folder
– Please make sure that WP_DEBUG is set to false in wp-config.php
– Contact our support via email contact@tagdiv.com (please provide your product license key)
I checked and WP_DEBUG is configured to false and permits the upload folder to 755
Thank you for the theme punch link.
My question more precise: Shouldn’t there be an “active” instead of “optional” at Revolution Slider after installing the plugin?

I installed and activated the travel blog demo. Shouldn’t there be a place for choosing a slider? Some demo sliders are installed and inside the Revolution Slider config area they’re working fine.

Hello alfuweb,
Please try to read our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-installing-demos/ because there you will found all useful steps which you have to follow for importing demo.
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
The demos are available so you can see the possibilities of what you can create using the theme. Uninstalling the demo will remove everything belonging to it, the content included and all it’s settings.
If you install a demo without content it adds only the settings. Then you could choose a page template in Visual Composer – http://screencast.com/t/QkeamCr8gE1 and easily create a page with predefined layout, or create your own pages and add your content. You just have to experiment until you create something you like.
Thanks
