Hi,
1. If you use cPanel / WHM or Cloudlinux and your host use / upgrade to php 7.1 or 7.2 you can encounter problems with “thumbnails not showing (images)” because default EasyApache 4 via WHM do not install some PHP extensions as default (extensions that were installed in PHP 7.0 and earlier versions as default via EasyApache or Cloudlinux profile):
– php-mysqlnd -> Some WordPress websites will display this error: Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress and some websites not showing images / thumbnails. Especially if you use MariaDB version 10.2 (recommended by cPanel).
– libc-client
– php-curl
– php-bcmath (need if you use some form plugins who calculate the total)
– soap (if you have installed woocommerce)
When this extensions will be installed your website will have everything needed to work correctly.
Suggestion for tagDiv:
a. On Newspaper > System Status > PHP extensions you check only for mbstring & GD library and you should check for all PHP extensions needed as long as cPanel WHM / Cloudlinux, Directadmin, Plesk etc change often theirs policy with “default PHP” extensions installed when upgrades PHP version!
b. When a user has problems first, you need to request a System Status screen capture and check the PHP extensions installed!
2. If you use / upgrade to MariaDB 10.2 as SQL database and have problems due to some plugins / (themes) coded previously (older).
For advanced users!
“Upgrading to MariaDB version 10.2 will automatically enable strict mode and remove any existing sql_mode entries in the /etc/my.cnf. This is by-design due how MariaDB implements the change. After the initial upgrade to MariaDB 10.2, you’d need to manually add the following value under the [mysqld] section in the /etc/my.cnf file if you want to revert this change”:
Code:
sql_mode=NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION
I hope my post will help some tagDiv members!

After a lot of work, I got the issue partially fixed.
Well, let´s say completely fixed.
I made sure to get my images down to the size that will be displayed correctly on Instagram and that fixed it.
Regarding IG posts not appearing, I did notice a couple of things.
First, it seems like either the theme or IG delays to refresh with the correct images. So maybe after an hour of posting the images on IG they will appear on the website. Not sure why, but I can live with a little delay if there is no immediate option.
Second, I followed another forum post / tread here that teaches what the settings on the WP SUPER CACHE plugin should be. I had fixed the settings before I wrote the last time.
But there is an option that says that cache will be cleared every time a post or page is updated. So I have been updating posts every minute to get cache cleared and see changes on things I do. Not sure if there is a workaround to be updating posts every minute, but if that is the only thing to be done, I can also live with that.
So now, my question focusses on this: Is this theme now able to host IG feed in the footer on MOBILE devices?
On this post I found out that there were no option, but that was last year August. Are there any changes?
In other words, just like how I have IG on desktop / laptop mode, I would like to have it displayed on MOBILE devices. Can I?
On this other post, I see that some CSS can be entered to remove IG footer, but can it be included to add IG in the footer?
If the theme cannot support IG on the footer for MOBILE, do you know about a workaround, or other plugin that can be used?
Thank you
Hi,
Please read this topic about How to remove sidebar from the posts and custom posts
-> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-remove-sidebar-from-the-posts-and-custom-posts/
Thank you for your understanding.
I’ve got my homepage set up with TD Composer and what I wanted to do was to display one full custom post content. No excerpt, no photo and no title. I couldn’t find any of the content blocks that allowed using the_content rather than an excerpt, so I thought I’d try it with a shortcode. I added the shortcode with column_text and it worked, but it wraps the shortcode in <p> tags and unautops the content so the post just displays in a big block. And then when I try editing the page, it gives this error: Error at rows: 2(models) : 0(dom). The model does not match the content.
I’m no longer able to view or edit the page with TD composer until I edit the page in wordpress and remove the shortcode I added.
I’ve used the same shortcode in a sidebar widget and it displays perfectly, but can’t seem to get it to work on my homepage. I thought that before pulling my hair out I’d just ask if there’s a way that I can do this? Are any of the modules able to just pull a random custom post and display the content? Or is there a way I can wpautop the shortcode?
Hi,
1. With flex blocks and flex grids that would be possible. These have options to enable/disable the date per block
– http://prntscr.com/lpzzj8
So while the date general setting in the theme panel block settings is active, the date can be removed per flex block.
If this is not helpful maybe it could be done with some CSS, the general date setting has to be enabled first. Then set a custom class to the FEATURED ANSWER and LATEST ANSWERS blocks
– https://www.screencast.com/t/DfDzaIcu0fH
Then use a code like this, replace the “myclass” with the one you used
.td_block_wrap .td-post-date,
.td_block_wrap .td-post-author-name span {
display: none;
}
.myclass .td-post-date,
.myclass .td-post-author-name span {
display: inline-block;
}
This should hide the date for all blocks, except the ones that have the “myclass” class set to them. You could gibe it a try.
2. That would require modifications to the modules used
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-show-date-update-article/
Thanks
Hi,
Unfortunately there is no option for this, but you can use a template from tagDiv Cloud Library fro post templates, and edit it how you want ( remove the title posts)
https://www.screencast.com/t/R74pps2Kgo
Or you can use a custom css, but the better way is the template.
Thank you for your understanding.
Hi,
So you want to remove the footer Instagram only on some pages, posts etc. That could be done with some CSS for example
Before – http://prntscr.com/lnhgkw
With code – http://prntscr.com/lnhgpq
By using the unique ID of a post or page it can be removed only on them.
Or you could do it in the code by adding a condition, to not display the Instagram in some pages, something like this for example
– https://www.screencast.com/t/ywEp5gogLab
For Google ads the the CSS solution would not work. It is forbidden to hide them with CSS, unless using media queries
– https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/1354736?hl=en
So hiding them like that is not a solution unless using media queries.
For the page content in pages it would be simple, simply don’t use ad boxes in them. But the header ad and footer ad will still show.
Most users that require more advanced control over the ads are using the Adrotate plugin. I believe this plugin has settings to manage the ads. Some info about it here
– http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-manage-ads-in-wordpress-with-adrotate-plugin/
– https://ajdg.solutions/manuals/adrotate-manuals/
Thanks
Hi,
That is the post sharing section, it can be disabled in the theme panel for top and bottom of the post page
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/sharing/
That ad looks like the default ad. All ads can be managed in the Theme panel->Ads section. Remove all the demo ad codes from those sections and they will be removed.
Please let us know if you have more questions.
Thanks

Hello tagdiv !
1. How to remove latest articles in homepage? I’m using default demo, but I just want to delete latest article from front page but keep the same DEMO content!
2. As my website is in Arabic, and I didnt know that Newspaper doesnt support RTL, unfortunately among other errors there is this mistake in the theme.
== Below every post , there is “find related articles” , How can I fix this so that picture displays in left instead of appearing on right ( because they are hiding related articles titles ) this problem only appears when I navigate website with mobile.

—- ————————————————————————–
I want to help NewsPaper in turning their theme into RTL support !
you might find this helpful! in the next update !
When website language turned to any RTL language , the menu is broken ! I used this CSS to fix it ! and PS Custom CSS in theme panel doesnt work at all!!!
#td-mobile-nav {
position:fixed;
}
.header-search-wrap {
display: none;
}
—– I hided search button because of an error in dispaly – it is mixed with menu button in the right! –
I will try my best to help TAGDIV !
Hi,
All pages, posts, categories will have an ID, this ID will appear as a class on the body tag, it can be seen with the browser inspector for example
– https://www.screencast.com/t/Rd45hcCgsy
You can use that ID class before the scroll class to remove it only for those pages, for example
.page-id-XXXX .td-scroll-up{
display:none!important;
}
Thanks
Hi,
1. Maybe with a plugin that would be possible. With a plugin that can provide a shortcode which you can enter in the cloud post template for example, in a text element next to the post sharing
– https://www.screencast.com/t/9tImhs8CMT
2. For a specific menu item it could be done with some CSS, like in this topic
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/coding-question-editing-the-mega-menu-all-feature-editing-block-pagination/
By using the unique ID of the menu item the code will work only in that case. Example
– https://www.screencast.com/t/QucES7VC2I
Code used in example
.menu-item-XXXX .block-mega-child-cats a:first-child {
display: none;
}
3. So you want to remove the last three options from the pull down filter, something like this will do that
– https://www.screencast.com/t/EpK67GiZyax
Simply enter it in the Theme panel->Custom CSS section, it will affect all category pages.
.category .td-pulldown-filter-list li:nth-last-child(-n+3) {
display: none;
}
4. You can display a video in a theme ad spot if that is what you want. This topic is similar
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/youtube-video-or-self-hosted-video-as-an-ad/
Thanks
Hi Calin,
I’m sorry, but your answer is not a solution.
I follow the guide ofc:
– Gzip comprension is on
– Leverage Browser Caching is optimiced
– Images are optimiced
– I use a cache plugin
– I use td-booster and remove css and jss on start
My website is ok, The problem is always with “ad managers plugins”, they are not compatible with td-booster.
I have tried to increase the number of advertising options in the theme (ad article in), but is not posible: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/any-ads-plugin-compatible-with-newspapper/#post-262785
So, I have a problem with Newspaper theme and I need a solution.
I’ve said many times that I don’t mind paying for a premium plugin, but I need to know that it will work properly (that it won’t cause problems).
But you don’t tell me any either.
So, either help me solve the problem in the newspapper theme, or tell me which ad management plugins are compatible.
You will understand that I have paid for a premium theme, and I have paid 3/4 years for an extra support.
I don’t want you to do a custom job for me, I just want a solution to the problem.
Cheers
Hi,
You can delete the theme from WordPress and install the new one, the customize from pages and posts will be not remove.
But first please make a full backup and read our documentation about update the theme
->https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thank you.
Hi,
Please follow the documentation about API – Modules – Introduction -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/api-modules-introduction/
Also please be notice that we do not do custom work.
Unfortunately the modules are made to show pages and posts, not sliders if this what you want to achieve.
Also please remove the api you create clear the cache and see if the problem persist.
Thank you for your understanding.

Hi Calin,
I followed the instructions listed on your documentation regarding having a page for recent blog posts that does not have the sidebar. I even went through the trouble of creating a new page and choosing the page builder plus overlay menu but that did not work.
Is there a way to remove the sidebar from the page with a collection of posts but leaving a sidebar for individual post pages? See example here with the sidebar; https://www.staging1.successunscrambled.com/our-podcasts-2/
It appears that the Newspaper theme is unsure how to treat this type of page as the ability to chose a template type has disappeared after I published the page.
Thanks,
Alvern
Hi,
The tagDiv composer was introduced in version 8.0, the multi-purpose plugin in version 8.5. Then in version 8.7.5 the multi-purpose plugin was removed as a separate plugin, all it’s features are now included in the tagDiv composer fully.
The latest theme version is 9.1, changelog with new features and modifications here
– https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609 (bottom of the page)
If you want to install the latest version, simply download the theme package from your themeforest account. This is a guide for updating the theme
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Be sure to review the theme requirements guide, there were some modifications and additions
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
As a note, please don’t post login information in the forum, the topics are public for all the theme users. I will edit the post and remove them.
Thanks
A quick search through forums can do wonders.

Hi,
There was an issue like you mention in the tagDiv composer, you must be using an older version. Currently the problem is solved. You should update the theme, edit the text elements with the issues and remove the slashes (they will not appear anymore after you do this)
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
If you cannot update the theme for some reason, there is a solution for the problem in this topic

Hi,
We can provide support by this forum or by email at contact@tagdiv.com (this is usually used for more investigations where admin login is required for example).
The forum topics are public, each user can see the topics, please do not post sensitive information like logins and license key. I will remove them from your post.
The theme supports PHP versions up to 7.2 if that is what you need to know. The theme and theme plugins should work properly in those circumstances. For SMTP you can rely on default WordPress or use a plugin.
Please let us know if you have more questions.
Thanks
Hi,
With a sidebar (left/right) – https://www.screencast.com/t/ZVohYvLB
The post content space is exactly as it is the published post, so how you see it in the backend will be the final look.
Without a sidebar – https://www.screencast.com/t/hyY9IskV8
The post content in the backend will be the full width of the theme.
These would be useful, so you can see how the post will look eventually. If you want to remove that delimitation you will have to remove the code from the theme. There are a few topics about it
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/editor-and-sidebar-line/
Thank you for your understanding.
I’ve been using ClearVoice theme demo (https://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag_voice/), it’s the best layout for my website although I hate to see the distance between post title and the author are too far. I’m not talking about the post page but the homepage (check the link above). At the “Hot This Week” block you can see there is a big gap below the post title and it’s annoying.
So, how to remove that gap or at least reduce the space? I have no idea where to change the setting.
Thank you!
Hello giulian curl,
Please notice that each page, post, and the category has a special class with ID like this -> .page-id-3445 .category-2345 .postid-7456. So, using this classes you need to use the property display:none for the Ad class you have to hide it. use the inspector browser to find the class you want and target it. Check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/create-custom-code-using-the-browsers-inspector/ If you need more assistance in this case, please provide your website URL and show me what kind of Ad you want to remove so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for the message!
Hi, my desktop seems to work fine, but the iphone & ipad version does not. I’ve tried everything, but it will not load properly on the ios. I’ve tried deleting cache etc….for example on the desktop the photo/video on some of the blog postings don’t appear on iphone (just blank spaces) and I have removed all reference to Instagram through the control panel and it still comes up at the bottom of the iphone/ipad. Would be grateful for some help please.
many thanks, Nick
Hi,
If you mean an actual tweet button, note that the button was removed quite a while back, since Twitter discontinued it I believe.
So now in the theme there is only the option to share the posts in twitter. Same as in this post in the live theme demo
