Hi,
Most of the time, the problem is from a shortcode that is not compatible with our theme or a plugin conflict; therefore, after you set it with tagDiv Composer and save the page/cloud template, the next time you try to edit it, you’ll get that error.
If is only for one page or a cloud template (it can be on the header or footer, you can change them for tests and see if the problem persists), this is from some settings/shortcodes set on it and it can be fixed using the page revision https://wordpress.com/support/page-post-revisions/
Thank you!
Hello tagDiv Support,
I need help with a serious issue that started after updating Newspaper. I have spent hours troubleshooting this and I want to give you a clear, detailed summary so you can understand exactly what is happening.
My site:
MarryCaribbean.com
Theme:
Newspaper
Problem summary:
After the update, my single post pages began crashing and showing the WordPress critical error message. At the same time, several layout behaviors changed unexpectedly, including my post hero styling and category/archive display.
Here is what I observed and tested.
1. Single posts started failing after the Newspaper update
Before the update, my single posts were working normally.
After the update:
* Single post pages began showing “There has been a critical error on this website.”
* This was happening under Newspaper, while the site worked under a default WordPress theme.
* Category pages and other parts of the site were not failing in the same way at first, which made this look specific to the Newspaper single post rendering path.
2. Debugging pointed to td-composer
I enabled WordPress debug logging and found fatal errors pointing to td-composer, specifically memory exhaustion in this path:
/wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/common/wp_booster/td_util.php
I also saw repeated notices for translation loading from other plugins, but those did not appear to be the main cause of the front-end post failure.
The key fatal I saw was memory exhaustion inside td-composer.
3. Default WordPress theme worked
To isolate the issue, I temporarily switched to a default WordPress theme.
Result:
* The single posts loaded
* The content itself was fine
* This suggested the problem was not with WordPress core or the post content itself, but with Newspaper/tagDiv rendering
4. Backup restore did not solve the issue
I restored a backup using UpdraftPlus, including:
Database
Plugins
Themes
However, this did not restore the previous Newspaper behavior on its own. The single post issue remained. What actually made individual posts load again was manually opening them and explicitly selecting a post template such as FROM PANEL or DEFAULT and then updating the post.
5. tagDiv Composer / Cloud Library behavior was inconsistent
After the restore:
* tagDiv Composer and tagDiv Cloud Library had to be reactivated
* Header/footer/custom appearance behavior changed depending on whether these plugins were active
* At one stage, single posts worked with Composer off, but the custom header/footer/design was degraded
* With Composer on, other design pieces came back, but single post behavior was still unstable or altered
6. The biggest discovery: post template behavior changed
This appears to be the most important clue.
I found that many posts would work again only after I manually opened the post and explicitly selected a post template, for example:
* FROM PANEL
or
* DEFAULT
If I manually selected one of those and updated the post, the post would usually load again.
This strongly suggests the update changed or broke how post template settings were being inherited or interpreted.
What is especially concerning is that this appears to affect many posts, not just one or two.
7. “From Panel” is not consistently broken, but behavior changed
I originally thought FROM PANEL itself was broken, but after more testing I found:
* Some posts work on FROM PANEL
* Some posts work on DEFAULT
* Some posts needed to be manually touched and saved before they would work at all
So the issue does not seem to be as simple as “FROM PANEL is broken.”
It feels more like the update disrupted how template/layout assignments are being inherited or loaded on a per-post basis.
8. My hero/header layout on single posts changed
Even after I got the posts loading again, the visual layout is not what it was before.
Before:
* My post hero had a stronger designed look
* The title, author, tags, and hero image styling appeared more integrated/overlaid
* There was more of a styled hero presentation
Now:
* The posts may load, but the hero/header presentation is simplified or degraded
* The featured image sits more plainly
* The old styled hero treatment appears to be missing
So even when the post works, the layout is not the same as before the update.
9. Article Display View options appear to be missing
In the Theme Panel, under areas where I remember having many layout/style choices, the “Article Display View” area appears blank or missing its usual options.
I specifically remember having many appearance/layout choices there before. Now those options do not appear to load properly.
This makes me think some template/module UI in Newspaper is no longer loading correctly after the update.
10. Category/archive behavior also changed
After the update:
* My category/archive sections changed layout
* I had 3 items per row before, but now it is showing 2
* I also started seeing little comment count boxes with “0”, which I never wanted and did not have before
I checked Block Settings and global module meta settings. Show Comment Count appears to be off globally, but the archive/category output is still not matching what I had before.
This makes it seem like the archive/module style or template behavior changed during the update as well.
11. Cloud Templates screen appears empty
In Cloud Templates, I currently do not see cloud templates assigned in the way I expected. For example, the Single Templates area appears empty.
That is confusing because I know my site had a more customized appearance before, and the current theme behavior no longer matches it.
12. Main concern
My biggest concern is that this update appears to have:
* broken or altered post template inheritance
* changed single post rendering behavior
* removed or failed to load layout options I previously had
* changed archive/category display unexpectedly
On a larger site, this kind of behavior is extremely disruptive because it can force manual repair of many posts.
What I need from you:
1. Help identifying exactly what changed in Newspaper that caused single post template behavior to break or stop inheriting correctly
2. Help restoring the original post hero/layout behavior I had before the update
3. Help restoring the archive/category display so it matches the previous layout
4. Help understanding why the Article Display View choices appear missing/blank
5. Guidance on whether this is a known issue in the current version and whether there is a patch or recommended fix
I would appreciate a serious look at this, because this has taken a lot of time to troubleshoot and it clearly appears connected to the Newspaper/tagDiv update path rather than WordPress itself.
Thank you,

Hello,
I’m using Block 4 from the “Add Element” section to display my blog posts.
My webpage layout is wider, but I can’t find any setting within the Block 4 options to adjust the block width so that it matches the earlier part of my page.
The earlier section of the page is built using Pre-designed Templates from the tagDiv Cloud Library, where there are options available to control the section width. However, I cannot see a similar width option for Block 4.
Could you advise if there is a way to adjust the width of Block 4 so it aligns with the rest of the page?
Thank you.
Hello,
I’m using one of the Pre-designed Templates from the tagDiv Cloud Library, specifically Section 3 – Office Nexus.
As you can see from the link provided below, the template includes placeholder images. When I replace the existing images with my own, I can’t get them to position the same way as the originals.
I made sure my replacement image has the same width and height as the original, however when it appears in the template it shows up noticeably smaller.
Could you confirm the exact width and height of the images used in the template, and if there is anything else I might be missing when replacing them?
It’s likely something simple that I’m overlooking.
I would appreciate any guidance.
Thank you.

Hi,
Right now, you set the old blog template. This applies when you set the blog under the wordpress settings – https://prnt.sc/L6mb44D9iEYM. When it’s set it no longer takes the demo style you have. Now the demo coaching pro when is installed alredy have a page blog that is adapted to the demo layout, indeed is set as a category, but this can be set as a normal page that will act like a blog, if you wnat I can set it for you, for this, please contact us via email and provide temporary wp-admin access https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-create-temporary-login-for-wordpress-no-passwords/ also, inlcude the link of this topic to identify you faster.
Thank you!
Hi,
Hmmm, do you not have a backup of the database or for the entire website? Related to the css, this depens were set. If it is set in the theme panel, it will be saved in a place, in the database. If it is with composer, in pages, it will be saved in the post/page in the database. If it is in the composer, depending on whether it is a page or a cloud template. But in your situation, I believe that a database backup will be the best solution.
Hi,
Yes, that’s how it works: when you import a block or a section from the code, it is placed at the end of the page in a row. To position elements on a page or a template, the row element is used, which can contain one or more columns.
Here’s an important detail: you cannot place a row inside another row directly. You can only move the elements from one row into another row. If you do need a row within a row, you can use the inner row element, which functions just like a regular row but is used inside columns.
Now, regarding elements imported from the cloud that come with their own row: these can be moved along with the row. This means you can drag and drop the entire row before or after another row.
If you want to move the imported elements into an already existing row, it’s best to first check whether the imported row includes an inner row. If it does, you can move this inner row into any column of the target row. You can do this using drag-and-drop or by copying and pasting it before or after a specific element.
I hope this helps!
Hi,
Unfortunately, we have not tested the WP Obituary plugin with our theme, so we cannot confirm how it works or how it should behave when used together with our theme. Because of this, we’re not able to provide support for issues related specifically to that plugin. We recommend contacting the plugin’s author for further assistance.
Our theme includes its own frontend builder called tagDiv Composer, which can be used to edit pages and Cloud Templates. With it, you can customize rows, blocks, and other elements used across pages and templates.
Thank you!
To set this page as the homepage on the website (https://opinandosinanestesia.es/pruebashome/), do I need to do anything in Cloud Templates or just in the WordPress admin panel?
Hi,
The post loop elements are special blocks that are used on pages for layouts and on cloud templates. Those are special because on cloud templates those are displaying the articles related to teh template where we are set. For example, if it is set on a cloud category template, even if the post loop element does not have a filter, it will automatically filter the correct output for each category in the part using that cloud category template.
If you like the liberty to set teh filter, use the flex blocks and grids, not the post loop element.
Thank you!
Hi,
You just ned to edit the page or cloud template with tagDiv Composer, add the popup element https://prnt.sc/dDRjJJtGGR_Y and you have 2 options you can display a page or a custom code set with html – https://prnt.sc/vzIEr84R6ImN to trigger it. Check the settings from the Triggers tab https://prnt.sc/X9BhslyuaE4Y you can trigger it from a button, page load, course, or scrolling.
Hi,
1. If you have the demo installed, then the same single post template should be used, “Single Post Template – Free News”. Also, make sure that you are not using the tagDiv Mobile theme plugin.
2. Use tagDiv Composer, edit the homepage, select any element and after that from the left sidebar, you select the mobile viewport, then select the menu element – https://prnt.sc/dJV0CGbkkWbU, and you can edit the page ase as you would the menu. Or if you want, you can simply remove that element and add the menu element – https://prnt.sc/mYRxWJ3nI0Xt
Hi,
Is it possible to assign different templates to individual posts within the same CPT? Not just a single template for the entire post type.
Or just like the pages, where I can edit each page layout on Composer.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Could you please provide some screenshots or a link where I can see the sidebar you are refering?
If is a single post template, then you can edit it with tagDiv Composer and using the theme builder, you can add/edit/remove the elements
Thank you!
Hi,
1. There is no official minimum word count for Google AdSense approval. Quality, originality, and usefulness matter more than word count. However, most successful applicants publish: 600–1200
2. To create high-quality, valuable content using the Newspaper Theme, follow these best practices:
– Use clean, readable layouts – Choose simple templates and avoid clutter.
– Focus on in-depth, original content – Publish well-researched articles (800–1,500+ words).
– Optimize typography and spacing – Make text easy to read on desktop and mobile.
– Use high-quality images and media – Add relevant visuals to support your content.
– Structure properly – Use headings (H1, H2, H3), bullet points, and short paragraphs.
– Improve SEO settings – Optimize titles, meta descriptions, and internal linking.
– Ensure fast loading speed – Avoid too many ads or heavy plugins.
– The key is combining strong content with a clean, user-friendly design.
3. The TagDiv Composer will be used to create pages and templates, but not posts, for posts will be used the wordpress editor (Gutenberg or classic editor) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoGQ0d5kIBg
Thank you!
How can I disable the Author Template page or section? It’s not serving any purpose for me, and I see that it’s generating searches and visits from Google, which I don’t need. Can someone guide me on how to disable or even delete it? Thanks.

Hello tagDiv Support Team,
I am currently using your theme on our website (Newspaper theme), and I am encountering a layout inconsistency compared to the demo version.
Specifically, the news container (main content box) on our live website appears significantly narrower than in the demo. In the demo version, the container stretches much wider and visually covers the right newsletter/sidebar area, creating a full-width layout effect. On our website, the container remains constrained and does not extend across the screen in the same way.
Here are the details:
• Our website: https://www.roaliment.ro/
• Demo reference: https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_free_news_pro/2023/12/14/td-post-fashion-finder-biggest-shows-parties-and-celebrity-for-new-years/
• Issue: The main news container width is smaller than the demo version
• Desired result: Full-width layout similar to the demo (comparable to en.edairynews.com style – content stretched across the screen)
Could you please advise:
1. Which exact setting controls the demo container width?
2. Whether additional CSS is required?
3. If this is related to a specific template or page builder configuration?
Also in demo there is a diferent layout for the post design. Can you tell me the name?
Thank you in advance for your support.
Best regards,

Hi there,
I use the Newsmag template theme for WordPress. My site is The Berkeley Observer (www.berkeleyobserver)
I’m just now noticing (after some mobile readers brought it to my attention), that the content on my webpages is missing when viewed on mobile. However, it displays normally on a desktop/laptop computer.
How can I resolve/fix this issue on mobile? That content on the webpages is important. Most of my readers are mobile.
Here are a few webpage examples that show empty content in the body on mobile. Only the headline shows:
https://www.berkeleyobserver.com/promote-your-business/
https://www.berkeleyobserver.com/%f0%9f%93%a2-public-notices/
https://www.berkeleyobserver.com/publish-your-press-release/
https://www.berkeleyobserver.com/submit-an-obituary/
Thank you for any assistance in solving this issue.
Hi jareksz,
The zones refer to the header/content/footer zone.
Most of the time, the problem is from a shortcode that is not compatible with our theme; therefore, after you set it with tagDiv Composer and save the page, the next time you try to edit it, you’ll get that error. The simplest and fastest way to resolve it is to use a page/template revision – https://wordpress.com/support/page-post-revisions/ (in this case will be a post template revision).
I hope this will help you!
Here’s an example:
On the demo homepage of newspaper_cali_sight_pro
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_cali_sight_pro/
If you look at the HTML source code, you’ll see some strange CSS code on the ACF fields. The front-end display is correct, but the problem is that this CSS code affects SEO.

Hi,
Please note that the Newspaper theme is not officially tested or supported with Divi Builder. The theme is designed to work with its native page builder, tagDiv Composer, and all theme elements and templates are built specifically for that environment.
Pages created with tagDiv Composer are not compatible with Divi Builder, and vice versa. Using third-party page builders alongside the Newspaper theme may lead to conflicts, including issues such as the builder not loading properly.
For the best stability and full functionality, we recommend using the theme’s built-in tagDiv Composer exclusively.
Thank you for your understanding.
Hi,
This can be done, but it is not entirely automatic. Our team uses cloud templates from tagDiv Cloud Library, and those can be edited using tagDiv Composer so you can add and remove elements from templates and pages.
Now, if you want to create a gallery that can be displayed instead of featutred image in blocks on pages, categories and/or inside the arrtocle then you can use the gallery article option from the article added by the theme – https://prnt.sc/2fFad7Cl5Qpz on the single post template use tagDiv Composer to edit it and replace the featured image with the gallery element https://prnt.sc/eTe7lwwEyMQN https://prnt.sc/OyfMaAWxeAhX
To display the gallery on blocks, you need to create a module and use the gallery element instead of the featured image. Then, where you want it to be displayed, use the flex block builder and select that module
Hi,
This depends on the elements used there, I think it is the flex block with title template 15, so you can try this css:
.page-id-5100 .td_block_template_15 .td-block-title {
margin-bottom: 12px;
}
If you need it apply on global you can use this will apply on all elements taht have the title template 15
body .td_block_template_15 .td-block-title {
margin-bottom: 12px;
}
Thank you!
Hi,
I see that now teh article templates look ok https://prnt.sc/d3IzVFIdPfM4 maybe before you used a cloud template and it is possible that something was interfering with it.
Regarding the header, please confirm whether you have a single Cloud Header or multiple Cloud Headers. It is possible to have more than one, and they can be assigned to specific pages and Cloud Templates.
Any header assigned to a page or Cloud Template will override the global header for the pages or templates where it is assigned.
Hi,
Our theme now provides the frontent builder tagDiv Composer that can be use or creating pages and cloud template start can be used on articles, categories, taxonomies, CPT’s …. and you can import from teh cloud a pre-built template and just edit it, add any elements you want to be display and remove those you do not want or you can create it from scratch.
If you created a php file template thsi should be set in a child theme and the theme panel option referring to “Display Featured Image (Show/Hide)” use the get_image https://prnt.sc/LGwD_L8aCgc9. This is defined in wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/common/wp_booster/td_module_single_base.php https://prnt.sc/7zMeWS6BJ19E
Thank you!
