My high traffic travel website http://www.asiantraveltips.com has been using Newspaper theme for a couple of months now and it has been pretty good, but since the latest version updates all kinds of things have broken and I can’t fix them. I am currently on V7.0.1. My server is a VPS at A Small Orange running Apache with PHP V 5.4.45 and 1024 MB RAM. I’ve copied the Theme Status data below.
The Visual Composer is no longer working. I have tried uninstalling the plugin and reinstalling from the plugins folder in the theme files and it’s now on V.4.11.2 as you recommend but it still doesn’t work. If you visit the home page you’ll see the [vc] code is displayed at the top of the page instead of the parallax image scroller that should be there.
Apparently the image embed isn’t working, so look at http://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/1243684/423dbeebbf2789c41a928271be340223
The image above shows the page editor screen when I try to edit my static front page. It’s blank. Before I uninstalled and reinstalled VC, it was displaying a VC logo in there but when I’d click it, I’d be taken to their website to buy the product. Now there’s just a blank box and if I click on the VC logo next to “Classic Editor” it does nothing. Same when I try to create a new page.
I have also lost my Mappress Pro maps and the admin strip across the tops of pages and posts when I am logged in as administrator. If I change back to my old theme, they both work just fine so it’s definitely related to Newspaper theme. I have even tried disabling all the other plugins and disabling Cloudflare and it makes no difference. So it doesn’t seem to be a plugin conflict.
I’m desperate and running out of options. This is starting to crash my Google rankings as well now.

Hi, Thanks for new update. It’s very cool. But I have a question:
I can show top bar menu on mobile responsive version like this:
http://i.hizliresim.com/j3EAoj.jpg
But on new mobile theme, it is not work.
How can I add top menu to mobile theme?
I have updated to new Newspaper V7 and on the mobile end I am having a few issues.
1. ON the mobile – my categories show up under the Menu but my About Me page doesn’t function properly. When I click on About Me I only see the category underneath the text/image of me which are the Latest Articles. My About Me page is set up as a Page but it is a category on the website. So it shows up in the menu but doesn’t show the info on it. What can be causing this.
Website is http://www.fit2fash.com
About me page is http://www.fit2fash.com/about-me/
What I see on the mobile is everything after Submit from the About Me Page
2. Is there a way to get Subscribe widget or section to show up on the mobile version so people can sigh up? Not referring to sing/log-in panel which is different than subscribing. I have a blog and it’s super important to get people to subscribe via mobile.
I upgraded to Version 7.0 yesterday and the mobile menu drops down to show only the following:
1. Social Media Links
2. Sign in | Join
3. Click here – to use the wp menu builder
What happened to the site’s menu?
Hello svharishtech,
The mega menu is not displayed by the mobile theme and because of this, the subcategories do not appear on the mobile menu in mobile theme.
I am glad that you can manage your problem by my advice.
Thanks.
Hi,
I recently activated the mobile theme plugin. I am facing some problems and solving them with the help of the support team.
I just noticed that when I activate the mobile theme plugin, the site icon and the search button are overlapping in the mobile top menu. But if I deactivate the plugin and just use the default responsive theme, the site logo and the search icon are appearing all right. I also noticed in the mobile theme section of the theme panel, there is no option to choose a logo for mobile. Whereas in the Header panel of the theme panel, I am using the same image as logo for desktop and mobile.
my test site is http://www.harishzone.com/test
Hi,
Why didn’t I think of that.
I have made a mobile menu as you advised and its OK now.
Thank you.
Hello svharishtech,
If you want to display on your mobile theme and the subcategories for your menu, which appear in the mega menu on the normal view, you have to create your custom menu only for your mobile theme from Menus section, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/AA1ChXDROGIg and then you have to set this menu for your mobile theme, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/AFzD3jM2vSk
Hope this helps!
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi.
Version 6.7.2 Not applicable SOPENED MENU – BACKGROUND COLOR.
http://s013.radikal.ru/i322/1605/e4/bc93edd79ee3.jpg
http://s018.radikal.ru/i523/1605/13/16cb67de59b4.jpg
Hi,
In order to deactivate the social icons on mobile only, you can use this custom css:
@media(max-width:767px){
.td-menu-socials-wrap{
display:none!important;
}}
For your second request, I;m not sure what part of the code you are looking for but here are a few places to look into: http://screencast.com/t/EzTHRH3hAj – http://screencast.com/t/9ew1sza4mg – http://screencast.com/t/VaipG3VEOo3b
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
hi,
The “Bollywood” and “Southzone” menu has submenu under it. The submenu is appearing in desktop, but no appearing when i use mobile theme plugin.
You keep pointing to the page https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/ which has absolutely no documentation on the fact that you have to re-create each of your static pages by hand using a completely different method.
Perhaps you should add documentation or notes to that page indicating this is a completely separate theme, that no existing pages will work with the mobile theme unless you re-create them or create new content by hand.
I for one will be disabling and uninstalling the mobile theme until documentation is provided on how to do this, as I have no idea what will/won’t work.
I love how fast it is, but right now every single one of my menu items and pages are completely blank without documentation…..
I’ve searched the forum and found some posts about having both the main menu and top menu display in mobile.
Those posts were for the Newspaper theme. Just for the heck of it, I tried the Custom CSS as suggested. Not a surprise, it didn’t work.
How can both menus be displayed in mobile for the Newsmag theme?
My site is helpuconquer.com I’m using header style 8.
Thanks,
Hi,
there seems to be an issue with the implementation of the font awesome icons in the new version. The css method does not work properly anymore so you have to use the alternative implementation. Please follow this topic:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/newspaper-7-mega-menu-icons-not-showing-in-mobile-theme/
Thanks.
testing the new theme version and when you click on the menu it drags behind the home page and takes a couple seconds before it fully opens, tested with all plugins disabled and caches cleared, any suggestions?

Hello svharishtech,
I have checked your website on mobile mode and I saw that the menu is right displayed, as you can see here -> http://screencast.com/t/NKPJ7mN8 Please try to clear all your caches and check again. For more information about our new mobile theme, please consult the documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
Also, for better results, please try to use the theme only with our tested plugins and without any untested plugin to rule out the conflicting plugins.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks.
Hi,
My mobile menu with icons is displaying strangely (using the mobile theme and default responsive display). I’ve tried removing all custom CSS code and cleared caching, etc. but the problem persists.
Basically, any main menu item that has sub-menu children, displays the icon above the text (screen shot below).
Also, all the sub-men items are misaligned as shown here:
Can you think of anything that would be causing this?
Thanks,
John
1) A child theme is not update proof unfortunately. The files will still have to be replaced and customization re-added if the file itself gets updated in the main theme. Think about it. A file gets updated with new code and you serve the old version from your child theme. It will not work properly. This is the thing about customization there is no update proof way of doing it.
2) Yes, you need to first copy over the child theme folder from the base theme archive and then create the same path for the file you want to customize as the guide shows.
3) + 3a: In that case you simply copy over the file from the root directory into the root directory of the child theme.
4) + 4a i;m not sure exacly what userpro should do as we have not tested it. I cannot provide any blind solution as I’m not sure what it is supposed to tie in. Sorry but we can’t provide any solution for this. In order to add the file to the child them, you need to maintain the file sctructure and create a /parts/header/top-menu.php in the child-theme folder
5) and 6) unfortunately these are untested plugins so we are not sure exactly where to add the code. Unfortunately this represents customization that falls beyond what support can offer you/
7) You can find the list of modified files here: http://tagdiv.com/td_deploy/Newspaper/changed_files_6.6_7.0.html Each of the files on this list were modified.
8) The mobile theme will not be affected by the child theme in the classical way as it uses a different file structure and different files. It will not use the same smartlist files as the desktop version: http://screencast.com/t/8ElxdYM2AlvV
8)a. There are 2 mobile versions now. One is the standard version and one is the mobile theme. Every setting for the mobile theme can be found here: http://screencast.com/t/fGer1I2jJzN6 so settings for the mopbile theme are made here. If you deactivate the mobile theme this panel will disappear.
8)b. I send you an email for it.
9) As I wrote above, you only need to create the file structure replicating the one in the main theme and copy your files there. As a note on the child theme all of the wp-booster folder will not work from the child theme. any modification to files in this folder will have to be made in the main theme.
Thank you!
Hi,
I am testing the mobile theme plugin on my test subdomain.
But while i open the menu, the submenu are not appearing in the mobile.
site: http://www.harishzone.com/test
Notice that “Bollywood” and “SouthZone” has sub menu in desktop, but in mobile it does not appear.
Hi there,
First of all, please accept my apologies all of these.
Please allow me to ask a few things about customization of the new Newspaper version 7.0.
1. Since I am doing some customization on my site and based on what I had read on the documentation and on your rules that any update of the Theme we should try again to re-implement the code for our customization, so I decided instead of doing that again and again is to add the Child Theme, that any update of the Theme still the customization of site will be there right? Please advise if this the best option? Hope it will.
2. (If Serial 1 is not the best option, leave this.) Please advise if this is correct to Add a Child Theme via FTP I will just add the Folder “Newspaper-child” located in /code folder? base on this Tutorial Link to add it under “wp-content/themes” right? by just dragging it via FTP? same on this Image Link.
3. Author Box Card replace it with USERPRO shortcode.
Filename:
/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/loop-single-12.php – this is my style number
ShortCode to add:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[userpro template=card user=author]');?>
Original String Structure:
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_social_sharing_bottom();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_next_prev_posts();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_author_box();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_item_scope_meta();?>
</footer>
Modified String Structure: Please advise if this is correct syntax code?
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_social_sharing_bottom();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_next_prev_posts();?>
<?php echo do_shortcode('[userpro template=card user=author]');?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_item_scope_meta();?>
</footer>
3.a. If I am using a Child Theme I just copy the Filename then create a directory structure path in the child theme as in the theme and paste the Filename based on this Tutorial Link aight?
4. Sign In/Join Desktop view popup version using USERPRO shortcode
Filename: wp-content/themes/Newspaper/parts/header/top-menu.php
ShortCode to add:
<div class="td-login-wrap">
' . do_shortcode('[userpro template=login]') . '
Original String Structure:
//<span class="td-sp-ico-logout"></span>
echo '<ul class="top-header-menu td_ul_logout">
<li class="menu-item">' .
get_avatar($current_user->ID, 20) . 'ID) . '" class="td_user_logd_in">' . $current_user->display_name . '' .
'
<li class="menu-item">
<i class="td-icon-logout"></i>' . __td('Logout', TD_THEME_NAME) . '
';
} else {
echo '<ul class="top-header-menu td_ul_login"><li class="menu-item">' . __td('Sign in / Join', TD_THEME_NAME) . '<span class="td-sp-ico-login td_sp_login_ico_style"></span>';
}
}//end login window
Modified String Structure:
Please advise how to add the correct syntax code.
4.a. Same on Serial 3.a. question.

Filename:
Please advise where to modify it?
ShortCode to add:
Please advise the correct syntax code for this.

Original String Structure:
Please advise where to modify it?
Modified String Structure:
Please advise how to add the correct syntax code.
5.a. Same on Serial 3.a. question.
6. FB Comments instead of WP comments
Filename:
wp-content/themes/Newspaper/header.php
wp-content/themes/Newspaper/loop-single-12.php
ShortCode to add:
header.php
<div id=”fb-root”></div>

<?php
} else {
//no posts
echo td_page_generator::no_posts();
}
6.a. Same on Serial 3.a. question.
7. If there is a new update of the Theme like for example: header.php as we added a Custom Code on version 6.x.x has 92 Lines + 2 Lines on our Custom Code both on Main Theme and Child Theme then a new update came version 7.0 header.php has 98 Lines, since our Child Theme had originally 92 Lines, are we going to update also our Child Theme structure based on the latest one from 92 Lines to 98 Lines then + 2 Lines on our Custom code?
8. Mobile Theme Plugin – if I install this plugin would the Child Theme modification will reflect to this? I mean I made changes in Serial 3, 5 and 6 will it reflect also? Please advise.
8.a. Whats the difference between Theme Panel background color for mobile vs Mobile Theme Plugin Settings background color? Which one should I make the changes if this Plugin is installed?
8.b. Gradient color – may I ask the exact hex number of this color? Link Here
9. Am I allowed to create directory structure and add the following filename on the Child Theme incase all of the above are possible to my site.
>loop-single-12.php
>top-menu.php
>For Serial 5 filename
>header.php
I have sent my Login Credentials via mail incase you may need it with the same Subject here.

hi i have problem after update them newspaper 7 show mobile menu in desktop view and i very try but not can remove in desktop view have horizontal scroll and i not can remove mobile menu in desktop view ,
i should what to do?
my site: fiahan.com
please see screenshot
http://s6.uplod.ir/i/00775/hhtocq3g1y9p.png
note: i disable all plugin and this problem no about plugings
I can not figure this out. I have deactivated every plug-in, deleted a few plugins permanently and still have a few final issues to sort out.
There is a mobile menu appearing on desktop above rest of site and no mobile menu on mobile size. I am not using the new mobile theme plug-in. I tried it – it didn’t make a difference.
I also have the site title appearing underneath the logo.
Lastly there is a new search icon below the one in the main menu that does not do anything.
