Hi,
I think I posted something in another post tonight about un-installing demo content.
One of the reasons I don’t personally use shortcodes as they tend to be theme-specific vs “generic” as you might find with bootstrap elements (which is why I use those or nothing!).
You might have to do a dbase search/replace to replace shortcodes, and there are some posts in the forum you would have to search for to find those, unless another kind soul chimes in here.
Regular tech support folk don’t work weekends …. so usually it’s us folk who pop in and comment based on our own past experience who help out from time to time (I’m waiting for a scan of my system checking for malware … hence sitting here doing nothing …)
Hope some of that helped (likely not).
Replied via e-mail!
Thanks for the message!
My server is up. you should have the login details by email.
I have also just emailed you my license code and again all the login details.
My server was down for a while so I think that’s why you haven’t been able to help me. It’s back up now. I have just sent a copy of this email to you as another reply. My email: tomashley303@gmail.com
Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help. All login credentials are in our email thread.
Thank you.
Hi,
You will get a reply there! Thanks
It’s still not working. I just replied to contact@tagdiv.com with my login credentials. Thanks.
Hi,
Please make sure to have the GD library installed and also make sure you have writing permissions on /wp-content/uploads
If you have done this and still the images are not showing please try to upload an image and see if you get any errors.
Please let us know if you still have any issues also please send an link to your site.
Regarding the floating feature for the menu you can add it from theme panel like this: http://screencast.com/t/kGBBOgZgTv
Thanks
I used the demo content install button but no images are showing up and the navigation bar isn’t floating when I scroll up from the bottom of the page.
Ok now, here’s the story:
I deleted my whole blog because still having issues. So I reinstalled everything new (had the demo running, now own build) I also thought, that Cloudflare would be the problem- but it isn’t (right now I don’t use CF)
Christopher Simmons helped me a lot- so I was able to solve a lot of things on my own.
But there are still some things I can’t handle on my own (seems like it) – and I’m on the edge of despair.
FYI my installed plugins:
tagbooster, W3 Total Cache, wpSeo, Code Embed, TinyMCE, Animated Gif Resize, Antispam Bee, Async JS and CSS, Broken Link Checker, Contact Form 7, EWW Image Optimizer, Jetpack, Query Strings Remover, WP DB-Manager, Google XML Sitemaps and the Visual Composer.
No matter what I do (installing Query Strings Remover or adding a code to the functions.php) I STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE “REMOVE QUERY STRINGS”
I really need someone to help me fix this or show me how to! I’m so helplessly I could cry over this!
I would like to start with adding content, but this makes me really desperate
The claimed files are:
Remove query strings from static resources
C (70)
88%
Content High
What does this mean?
Resources with a “?” in the URL are not cached by some proxy caching servers. Remove the query string and encode the parameters into the URL for the following resources:http://cherrykoks.de/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/css/styles.css?ver=4.1
http://cherrykoks.de/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/external/bootstrap/td-bootstrap.css?ver=4.1
http://cherrykoks.de/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/style.css?ver=4.1
Next one is:
Specify a cache validator
A (90)
93%
Server High
What does this mean?
The following resources are missing a cache validator. Resources that do not specify a cache validator cannot be refreshed efficiently. Specify a Last-Modified or ETag header to enable cache validation for the following resources:http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Sans:400,700,400italic|Ubuntu:400,400italic|Open+Sans:400italic,400|Oswald:400,700|Roboto+Condensed:400italic,700italic,400,700?ver=4.1
http://gtmetrix.com/reports/cherrykoks.de/4u0OTZRR
Note: I use as fonts: Georgia and Times New Roman over the whole blog! I was reading a lot of threads with tips as “Comment them out” “delete it” and this is also not working. When I try to comment out in functions.php I get a syntax error. And to delete: I don’t know which lines, because my functions.php looks a little bit different.
The font problem also appears in :
Add Expires headers
B (89)
25%
Server High
What does this mean?
There is 1 static component without a far-future expiration date.
http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Sans:400,700,400italic|Ubuntu:400,400italic|Open+Sans:400italic,400|Oswald:400,700|Roboto+Condensed:400italic,700italic,400,700?ver=4.1
Page Speed Insights for example is complaining about the “above the fold” thing on mobile Devices and desktop, these are the same files- which GTMetrix claims with “remove query strings”
see here: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=cherrykoks.de&tab=mobile
Everything else is ok for me- but how can I solve the “few” problems.
I hope there’s an angel in this forum who can save me from getting nuts.
If someone of you needs any file information, let me know. I’m glad for any help with this!

Done this way, while I try to find the issue.
Thanks.
I would likely try simply unzip the plugins on your hard drive, then manually FTP to your plugins folder.
Hi, I get this error:
Error 503 Service Unavailable
Service Unavailable
Guru Meditation:
XID: 391304500
Varnish cache server
after a while, when trying to install the 2 plugins from “Private Repository” (Revolution slider and tagDiv social counter). Non error appears in log file.
I also get the same error when installing the theme demo, but some content is installed anyway and here I get this error in log file:
(104)Connection reset by peer: mod_fcgid: error reading data from FastCGI server, referer: /ttp://www.example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=td_theme_panel
(104)Connection reset by peer: mod_fcgid: ap_pass_brigade failed in handle_request_ipc function, referer: /ttp://www.example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=td_theme_panel
At the moment my hosting provider can’t find any other error or a timeout problem, do you have any solution?
Thanks a lot
I downloaded and installed the theme & child theme.
After installing the demo data and activating the child theme, all pages look like this: http://screencast.com/t/Ww6tgvvR
They have an extra header above the logo. However, when I activate the main theme, it disappears.
Be careful installing demo data, as that is typically for folks starting with blank (new) site, not changing an existing site.
FYI – from the demo source code:
PT+Sans:400,700,400italic
Ubuntu:400,400italic
Open+Sans:400italic,400
Oswald:400,700
Roboto+Condensed:400italic,700italic,400,700
After just installing the theme I’m finding some things that I think might might make it better or that I found confusing. I thought I’d drop a line and share in the hopes of making the next version even better!
1- Sidebars Organization: Organize the sidebar listing in the widget section to more accurately show their true location. IE: the top right “social” sidebar lists under the “newspaper default” one on a clean install. It might make more sense to have this sidebar listed at the top since that’s it’s true location in the layout. (it was confusing when I had a recent post widget showing up in this sidebar and displaying in the top menu. Didn’t seem intuitive that this would be a sidebar nor did the description of the sidebar really describe it’s location or purpose)
2- Widget styles – Perhaps be a bit more descriptive in style names? IE: in the social icons icon style 1 could be “full color” and style 3 “light on dark” and style 4 “dark on dark”… just makes it easier to choose styles if we have some idea other than 1,2,3..ect…
Not sure if it’s just me after toying with a few themes, but a default child theme install with demo content seems to have some inactive sidebars by default with tagdiv widgets in them. At first my “social icon” sidebar actually had a recent post widget already assigned.
IE:
Inactive Sidebar (not used)
Inactive Sidebar (not used)
This sidebar is no longer available and does not show anywhere on your site. Remove each of the widgets below to fully remove this inactive sidebar.
[tagDiv] Block 4
Inactive Sidebar (not used)
This sidebar is no longer available and does not show anywhere on your site. Remove each of the widgets below to fully remove this inactive sidebar.
[tagDiv] Popular category
Inactive Widgets
Drag widgets here to remove them from the sidebar but keep their settings.
So far awesome theme!!! Just thought I’d pass along some things I noticed as I went through the install process. If it’s not helpful tell me! LOL, otherwise I’ll add more feedback as I come across it.
Hello,
I have this problem – after installing the the demo posts are without sidebar. I made a page with visual composer with right sidebar and from static home page in customizer i connect it with the post, but there is no effect. Where is my mistake?
Thank you.
I bought this theme partly cause the way it looks on the demo regarding bbpress.
There for I do wonder why the to say the least ugly original bbpress layout shows up here and there in the styling. It seems to me the theme is not coded all the way to maintain a good bbpress layout or am I wrong?
Second thing is I now have a problem with my layout.
The regular news flow page for my site comes with no page title whilst a new made category suddenly got blessed with a ugly headline naming the category a headline that is cut of in half and all pages – including original news flow – suddenly are missing out on some kind of padding to the menu making them look very ugly. If I could have uploaded a file here I could have showed how.
I already had to give up the shop feature on my site due to insanely broken layouts regardless my actions when installing this theme on our site and these new findings are not making me a happy camper..
My Shop got completely messed up regarding layout when swooping in and installing the Newspaper theme. Anyone have any experience of the same sort? On my playground site I installed a fresh Woocommerce after installing Newspaper and that worked fine.
On the live site images are not in line with the demo nor the playground site’s layout but are more to be found here and there and kind of everywhere.
Already turned off and on plugins, regenerated thumbnails and such.
Hi again
After installing Newspaper at our site, I ran it through GTmetrix to check the site.
I’m a little surpriced to see that there’s two “high priority” problems regarding images, as I got the impression from your demo, that you were quite focused on handling images.
As you can see here, I’d like to solve the two trop problems – specifying image dimensions and serving scaled images instead of loading a huge image and the just resizing the look on screen:

Can you please talk a little about these two problems? 🙂
