NEWSPAPER THEME
Thanks for your support and feel free to contact us any time 🙂
https://forum.tagdiv.com/
~ Radu, Marius, Emil, Alina, Lucian, Nicu G., Alin and Nicu S. ~
[ Version 6.6.1 ]
– new social counter version. Facebook requiers now an API key, read more here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial/
[ Version 6.6 ]
– new: Custom code panel. We realized that all the custom css, html and javascript should be in one panel. We also added a custom HTML code section. All the input areas from this panel have autocomplete (ctrl+space) and error checking.
– new: whatsapp share for article on mobile devices
– new: added http channel test status in the system status panel. You can now check if the theme is able to get the tweet count, like count etc from your host.
– new: filter posts by ID in blocks. You can add/exclude specific posts on all the blocks now.
– new: the theme now has it’s own logging system. We can now debug hosting issues easier.
– new: a new self diagnosting and self configurating module that allows our theme to pull data from other sites more reliably.
– fix: smart list 7 and 8 – sometimes the content was doubled
– fix: g+ new icon
– improvement: video playlist is now more reliable and all the code is loaded only when needed via autoload. The youtube videos information is now collected using just one API call instead of multiple API calls for each videos.
– improvement: speedbooster 4.2 now supports woocommerce better and moves the style.css to the bottom
– improvement: the theme panel works better now when adblock is used
– improvement: all the ajax functionality of the theme is now loaded only when needed
– improvement: better security checks on all the ajax requests
– improvement: html is allowed now in the copyright section of the footer
– improvement: social counter button is clickable on the entire area
– improvement: almost all the javascript code now passes jshint. We still have about 15-20% of the code to refactor to the new standards but with time we will get there.
– improvement: the theme’s data source class can now be overwritten from the child theme
– improvement: all the widgets from the theme are now optimized to work better. The widget_builder class is now deprecated and all the functionality was moved to td_block_widget
– improvement: the video playlist now downloads the videos metadata on render, not on save post. This allows us to use the playlist on the on click demos.
– improvement: the following modules of the theme are loaded on demand now: td_log, td_remote_http, td_remote_video, td_data_source, td_video_support, td_more_article_box, td_page_views, td_review, td_ajax. This means that the theme loads them only when needed. We mesured a 10% faster load time after this tweak.
– fix: theme animations where incompatible with some plugins and the visual composer gallery. The animations still worked but all of them looked a bit strange.
– fix: bug with the demo loader – the dinamic css for a specific demo was still loaded even after the demo was uninstall
– fix: header style 8 top submenu z-index fix
– fix: image aligment issue when using custom article paddings
– fix: the documentation url for demos was wrong in wp-admin
– fix: we updated the ads links to point to the right documentation
– fix: Social counter now shows the followers instead of +1 on google plus. Please update your social counter to see the improvement.
– fix: styling issues with the latest version of BuddyPress
– fix: on rare ocassions with some plugins the theme was emitting warnings in the server logs like: “Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string”
– fix: error that was showing up in logs when the theme panel was saved

Hello,
Please try to provide more details because we are scratching our heads here and cannot figure out what it is you are trying to accomplish. You used the theme background and then hidden it with display none. Then you applied background-colors and they are not appearing as well because you set another background image over them. The theme works with either an image or a color. Setting both of them is redundant.
The way to go about a background click ad is by using a background image on a particular category and then placing an URL in the background click ad section here: http://screencast.com/t/beWzRKcHH
https://forum.tagdiv.com/background-ad/
Please be more explicit so we can have an idea on how to help you.
Thanks.
Hello,
IU am sorry you feel this way, I did not mean to be dismissive. I just pointed out that our theme was designed to work with adsense and we have not tested adspeed ads. Adsense is the only ad structure that our theme can display if it is inserted directly in the ad spots in the theme panel. If your ad does not have the standard adsense structure:
<script async src=”//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js”></script>
<!– ****- 250×250 –>
<ins class=”adsbygoogle”
style=”display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px”
data-ad-client=”ca-pub-********”
data-ad-slot=”***********”></ins>
<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>
then the theme will display the code on the front end unmodified. I thought this was the case for you as well.
You can try the other ads method and see if the ad displays the same.
There was indeed a problem with inline ads in older version of our theme and it is possible the same issue affects you as I see you use version 6.3 of our theme.
If the ‘other ads’ method does not work, please update the theme to the latest version 6.6 using this tutorial: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Let us know if the problem is still there afterwards.
Thank you for your message.
Hello,
Our theme was designed to work with adsense. If you do not use adsense, other ads require certain div tags to be used. Please follow this tutorial to see how it can be done: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-other-ads/
Thank you!
Hello Rhonda,
Facebook changed a few things in their code that broke our social counter (facebook option). The twitter button should work as expected. Simply refresh it. Change the id to another one (cocacola for example) and see if the counter picks up the followers.
For the facebook option we are working on a fix as we speak. Until we get it done, you can maybe use another version of the plugin which worked for some people: http://cdn.tagdiv.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/td-social-counter.zip
Remove your current social counter and install this one.
Thank you!
Hello yassajkakkad,
I’ve tested on my side for articles with smartlist enabled and everything seems to works perfectly. Our theme has 3 kind of smartlist with ads (smartlist 6,7,8) – http://screencast.com/t/Gc2Z54WgO – http://screencast.com/t/d6f5xLH9 .
Also, if you want to show the ad in your smartlist, please use smartlist 6, 7, 8, as you wish. If you do not use them, the ads will not appear in other smart lists.
If is not what you mean, please provide more details about this so I can be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thank you!
Hi,
You can try this version of Social Counter(it worked for some users) – http://cdn.tagdiv.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/td-social-counter.zip Just deactivate and delete the current plugin and install this version, then use another fb id(like tagdiv) see if it works and then revert to your id so you will refresh it.
We will change the Social Counter system and we hope to fix it as soon as possible, sorry for inconvenience!
Thanks!
Hello,
We are working hard to solve this issue with Social Counter and we will release an update for it.

Hello,
Please check the documentation link again. There is nothing wrong with it. It works as expected. https://forum.tagdiv.com/header-ad/
Try another one and naviugate to the ad section if it does not work directly: https://forum.tagdiv.com/wordpress-information/
Basicly it depends on the ad you would like to use. If it’s adsense you can use the code directly in the theme panle. If it’s any other ad, you need to use the div’s provided:
<div class="td-visible-desktop">
<!-- Your NON AdSense code here - this ad will show only on desktops -->
</div>
<div class="td-visible-tablet-landscape">
<!-- Your NON AdSense code here - this ad will show only on tablets in landscape orientation -->
</div>
<div class="td-visible-tablet-portrait">
<!-- Your NON AdSense code here - this ad will show only on tablets in portrait orientation -->
</div>
<div class="td-visible-phone">
<!-- Your NON AdSense code here - this ad will show only on phones -->
</div>
Thank you!
Hi I am sending you my conversation messages with Catherine. Please read carefully and tell me how to proceed( more payment) in order to get NEWSPAPER 6. Thank you for your wonderful understanding and support.
NB: Please, help me to understand what meant Catherine when she says that I downloaded Newsmag 11 times.
Yours sincerely,
Dr NKUSI Josepha

Hi Nkusi,
Good day and good news. The author has agreed. While we usually ask our buyrs to check the item and its compatibility before making a purchase, I understand and have no doubt that this was an honest mistake.
I checked your account because I want this to get resolved immediately, however, the theme has been downloaded 11 times. Considering it’s digital (it can’t be returned), we wouldn’t be able to provide a full PayPal refund. There are only certain circumstances where we can fully refund purchases to the payment source. For example, if the item is broken or faulty, or something was promised in the item description, but wasn’t included in the download file.
What I did is remove the Newsmag – News Magazine Newspaper from your downloads page and added a credit to your Envato Market account. This couldn’t be withdrawn, but could be used to buy any items from Envato Market that you might find useful in your other creative projects. On our other Markets we sell photos, videos, music and many more items.
If there is anything else that we can help you with, please don’t hesitate to contact me or any help officer of Envato Market Help.

Thank you Catherine, I think you did not get me and the author very well. The Magazine was working well, but I agreed with the author to replace it with Newspaper 6 from the same author in order to achieve the website of my dream, I think they gave you the same information. Of course I have to add some extra money to make it 59USD. I hope you will help me to set up that payment.
My best regards,

Hi
been trying to create an ad for the header but nothing i do seems to work
your link for the header ad tutorial seems to be broken “https://forum.tagdiv.com/header-ad/”
i can’t seem to get the header ad to show
any other way of getting the documentation?
Hi, I am having problem with adsense ads. While using your theme, I realise that adsense code are not loaded first before the website is loaded. And I suspect this is why I see a big difference between the views on ads on adsense report and what I see from the traffics coming to my site. The different is around 70% which is alot. I am losing alot of ad revenue as a result.
Next, I need help to reset the license so that I can install the themes again. The nature of my work is that I install your theme on to a newly created site and test to see if there is demand. When there is no demand, I will delete the site and reinstall the theme on another of my brand new site. I have fulfilled the license agreement and kept installation to one site each time. However at the moment, I am not able to install the theme anymore as my purchase code has reached its limit (i have purchased from themeforest), please help to reset this license. I tried emailing to your support but they direct me to envato. I go to envato and they ask me to come to you guys. I am really confuse what should I do now. Please help.
Can you only have one custom Ad?
I can have the same custom ad (custom_ad-1) in multiple places however any other custom-ad-#’s do not appear?
Hi
I’ve looked over your ad code and noticed that you’re using td-visible-desktop class in it. This class will display the ads only for desktop that’s why the ad don’t appear on mobile devices. Please follow this link and change the class with: td-all-devices: http://screencast.com/t/G6QgY8zJ – http://screencast.com/t/kQHmrQMsAt
You can find more details about theme’s ad system in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-using-other-ads/
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hello,
Please try to get the system status parameters ‘green’ by using this guide here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Also please check your permission on the folder/wp-content/uploads . Also you can check from media library and try to upload an image, if it works that means that the permission are correct. If not you can use the c-panel to change permissions (set them to 777) if you have access to it or if not please contact your hosting provider.
Another cause may be the traffic, each operation has a time limit, at certain hours the traffic may be high and while the theme tries to download the images the operation exceeds the allocated time and a 404 or timeout error may be returned.
Thank you!
Hi,
1. All ads have a default(predefined) size, you need to change it from Theme Panel -> Ads if you want other sizes:
http://screencast.com/t/mzLhZekG7f
2. Today we will release an update that will fix the Facebook counter.
Thanks for the message!
another issue:
i’d like to remove the sidebar ad in my video posts (since i have 3 ads on the page already and it’s against the adsense TOS to have more than 3 ads on a page)
but the page doesn’t seem to change when i remove the ad in the “td_demo_sidebar_video” widget
it only react to the “rd_demo_category” widget…
so how can i remove the sidebar ad only in the video posts?
I did exactly what you got there and got 500 server error and put it back and site loads fine. So I have no clue what happened but I think I am going to just stick without the speed booster plugin installed.
Edit: Just tried another plugin that was listed and did what you showed putting on that line with single quotes and still got a 500 server error. Just keeping the plugin uninstalled since it is a pain to use in the first place.
btw: I did that with the buddypress one first and it gave that error even with that part comment out.

Thanks Andrei,
That’s the file I was looking for. I’m pretty lazy so I just swapped the snippet that renders the google ad to the same code that renders the normal ad. So far it’s working.
if (!empty($ad_array[$spot_id]['current_ad_type'])) {
switch ($ad_array[$spot_id]['current_ad_type']) {
case 'other':
//render the normal ads
$buffy .= $this->render_ads($ad_array[$spot_id], $atts);
break;
case 'google':
//render the magic google ads :)
$buffy .= $this->render_ads($ad_array[$spot_id], $atts);
break;
}
}
Hi Everyone
I’ve been struggling to get tracking event reports from the manually added banners from the page. Our codes are very well working with our other websites; tagdiv team is also unable to find a solution.
I tried; rawjs, raw html and custom adbox..I tried mostly everything but the click rates are not shown in the google events section. I also contacted Google team; they said everything works fine with the codes etc; but the website does not send reports to google! by the way The google analytics code works okay..
This is the code we are tracking all the clicks from the banner on our other websites.
<a href=""http://www.xxxx.com/en/" target="_blank" onClick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'xxxBanner',
'Click']);"></div>
We place it in WP-text and works fine in other wordpress themes..but with newspaper theme nothing works.
Can anyone help me out?

Do you have any idea?
Hey Catalin…
Thank you for you help and Please read below:
1. On the ad dissappearing issue, you are right.. its a ad blocker on my Chrome called ABP (Ad blocker plus) which is a highly popular ad blocker for Chrome users. When I put my domain name in the ad blocker’s whitelist, the ads appeared. Now this come to another more important issue for your theme because ABP is widely used by chrome users and its pretty bad if they block those ads on Chrome users that has that plugin cos advertisers are paying top dollars for their ads & expect their ads to appear across all platform, browsers & bypassing all ad blockers. But the ABP ad blocker didn’t block the header & footer ads though, so maybe there is some way to make custom ads on newspaper theme to have the same type of coding as the header & footer ads so that they cant be block?
2. On the ad resizing issue, you are right as well… I disable all plugins and the ad size appear normal again. Further check on this & I found out that its the jetpack plugin that is causing this and I cant disable Jetpack because my news ticker on top would go missing if I disable jetpack. Any suggestion on this?
Anyway thank you so much for your support… God bless and cheers!

Hi nomadhermit,
You can hide them if you are use a bit of Custom Css. First of all, please tell me what king of ads you want to hide? Below i gave you an example for an article bottom ad.
.postid-639 .td-a-rec-id-content_bottom {
display:none;
}
Using the .postid-639 in this exemple, you can target the post which you want to hide the ad. Here you can see how to change the post id: http://screencast.com/t/JRGJAfmFgp77
Another possibility would be to search other plugin to do this thing for you.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you!
Maybe this is a silly question but I need some help…
I recently updated my Newspaper Theme from 4 to 6 and have since noticed a considerable drop in traffic reported in Google Analytics since making the upgrade. See pic below… Traffic drops dramatically the very day that I upgraded (28th Oct)!
http://hotcued.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Screen-Shot-2015-11-25-at-11.11.56.png
Could updating the theme actually cause a drop in traffic?
Or is it more likely that it has upset the tracking code somehow and GA is now reporting incorrectly?
I am concerned that maybe I only have the tracking code setup on my homepage now and not on any other pages of my site but I’m not sure how to check or modify this… Surely I don’t have to add it to each page individually?
Can someone help please? Gary
