Hello football5,
First of all, please make sure you meet the requirements for newspaper: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ and increase your system status parameters according to this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Also, if you are using the Visual Composer on posts, please try to disable it for this because the VC is not tested on posts, and you can encounter some delays because of this. Clear all your caches and test it again.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello aliqayyum,
Please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out any conflicting plugins. Clear all your caches, remove server caches (if you do not have any access to do it, request this task to the service provider).
For your second request, please notice that the speed of your website depends on how well your site is optimized. Please notice that this is not a simple task and if you do not have any experience in this regard you will do not bring good results for the theme. Also, notice that we have a speed optimization tutorial but this is addressed only to advanced users. So, if you follow the steps which are presented in this tutorial here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ you can increase the page speed loading and if you are not aware of the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because the speed optimization services is not covered by our support policy, as you can read here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/support-policy-2/ Check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ regarding on dedicated server to fit to our requirements.

Hi Team,
i have modified attachment page for my requirements … i have created a sideabr gal_sde ..how can i call the same on the attachment page …
Regards
@Andrei L.
On Hosting requirements page it says:
Dedicated server
Should handle 6000+ unique users per day
Well, dedicated server will handle min. 100k unique users per day. I used that theme on VPS with 4 core and 8 GB ram and i had 1000 users online at the same time (Google Analytic)
Btw i moved my website to another server and it works perfect again.
Thank you
Hi
@brad08 the td-composer plugin can be downloaded following this link: https://github.com/tagDiv/td-composer/releases/latest Also make sure that your server meets theme’s requirements: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ and also check if the parameters from system status have the values indicated here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Thanks!
Hi
Your homepage takes a very long time until is fully loaded. This time vary from 30-40 seconds to over 1 minute. This affect the way js works. You’re using lazy load animation and the images are displayed only after all resources are loaded on the page. The js will not do anything until all resources are loaded but if the time is to big will not work at all.
Try to deactivate lazy load animation from theme panel > template settings: http://screencast.com/t/JLeDGGgmT then test the site again. Also check if the server meets theme’s requirements and if parameters from system status have the values indicated here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-requirements-for-newsmag/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Thanks!
Hi

Hello,
You will need css for the requirements you mentioned. The page title can be aligned center with this code:
.td-page-title{
text-align:center;
}
Unfortunately I cannot provide a solution for your second request as this comes from wordpress not the theme. It is the standard wordpress text implementation that we do not change with our theme settings
Thank you!
Hi
I’ve checked your site and I’ve found and error in browser’s console: http://screencast.com/t/zlRhZF0il0u5 Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches then test the site again. Also make sure that your server meets theme’s requirements: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ and the parameters from system status have at least the values indicated here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Let us know ho it goes.
Thanks!
Hi
We’re sorry for any inconvenience you have encountered using our theme.
The theme is tested and feature images should be displayed without any changes in code. However checking your site I’ve found some errors in browser’s console which are related with theme’s js: http://screencast.com/t/A5oKnz8tg This errors may be caused by some plugins which conflicts with the theme or by some minifycation used for js. Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches, purge cdn files if you’re using, remove the css/js minification then test the site again.
The theme can’t control the informations picked by Facebook sharer when a post is shared. Facebook looks for og tags and picks the details from these tags. To generate the og tags you can use a plugin like SEO By Yoast which is tested and works fine with our theme. Please check these links for more details in this regard: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/getting-open-graph-for-your-articles/ – https://yoast.com/social-media-optimization-with-wordpress-seo-by-yoast/
Another important aspect is server’s response time. Facebook won’t wait to long for requested data and if the server respond to slow some data will be skipped. Checking your site with google page-speed tool I’ve noticed that the response time is higher then 6s, please check the screen: http://screencast.com/t/2qMDqyDS2 Make sure that your server meets theme’s requirements and also ensure that the parameters from system status have the values indicated here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
It is very likely that Facebook won’t anything about a new published post. Facebook handle a huge amount of data and a new published post won’t be indexed automatically. However you can force Facebook to update new posts by running a fresh scrape with debugger tool: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/ – http://screencast.com/t/8rKTpv28f
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
I really don’t get why this theme is so slow for my site. I’m talking aol dialup slow, on a live med/high traffic site. There’s nothing on my site that’s really out of the ordinary. I optimize my images, did the cache, have many of the same plugins as my old theme, have the minimum requirements for the theme, etc.
So last question — could it be because I installed it as the demo WITH the content (later deleting the content). Should I try reinstalling it with no demo content? Thanks.
Hello Mpasho Support,
First of all, please ensure that you have respected our list of requirements for our product, like this -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ Also, try to update the theme to the latest version of it and also, all the required plugins which come bundled with the theme, clear all your caches and test it again. Basically, the latest Fatal error is happening due old version of Visual Composer. Try to update it and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
While attempting to create a child theme (Newspaper 7.4), I received this error from the plugin that creates it:
The theme “Newspaper” generated unexpected PHP debug output.
Notice: Undefined variable: widget_ops on line 69
Please contact this Theme’s author and report the items inside the box above. You may or may not be able to use this Theme as a Child Theme while these conditions exist.
It is possible that this theme has specific requirements to work correctly as a child theme. Please make sure you are using the latest version of this theme and check your theme’s documentation for more information.
Hello,
Unfortunately page speed is a very personal thing and it depends on lots of things starting from the server that you use. If your hosting is slow, you can do every bit of customization out there, but you will not get anywhere. Please make sure you meet the requirements for newspaper: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ and increase your system status parameters like so: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
You might even consider changing the host. If this is not the case, thn you can try this topic for a more customized approach to page speed: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-chriss-custom-optimizations-for-functions-php-etc/
Thank you!
Google doesn’t care what color your blog is; look at all the video/movie,game, and entertainment sites with black backgrounds serving AdSense ads.
You should probably review Google’s actual guidelines/requirements for sites, as that is the de-facto answer to what they will/will not allow.
HI
You can’t remove the requests to admin-asjax.php file as this is a very important resource from WordPress core. The theme makes many requests to this file when ajax pagination is used.
Please make sure that your sever meets theme’s requirements: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-requirements-for-newsmag/ and also check if the parameters from system status have the values indicated here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Thanks!
Hi
I can’t make any recommendation for a specific host, we can only point the minimum requirements but not a specific provider. You can do a search online, compare the offers/performances then decide what fits you best, this link may help you in this regard: https://www.wpsitecare.com/performance-of-7-top-wordpress-hosting-companies-compared/
Thanks!
Hello Moforka,
Please try to disable all the untested plugins if you are using something like that, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme and rule out any conflicting plugins. Please check your hosting provider and request them to clear all your server caches. Also, if you are using the CDN system, try to purge all the files. It is very important to have the minimum requirements for your dedicated server for achieving best results in theme. Please check this to be in the parameters which are presented in our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks.
Hey Andrel,
Thank you for the response. Yes, I do understand that there are limitations of help that we could expect from you but since we don’t know the coding requirements, we usually ask whatever is needed and once we see it can’t be done by your awesome team, I do look for alternatives.
The solution that you have given is not exactly what I am looking for, but for now, it will work for me 🙂
Though I noticed that the code only hides the counter from the Facebook button ( as per the screenshot). Please help me to do the same thing with Twitter and YouTube etc. I know these buttons will need extra two lines of code for each social networks. but it might be easy for you to write these codes as you know the system internally.
Though if you think, it will take much more precious minutes from your life, you may skip my request.
Thank you very much.
Hi
The theme has been developed to be fast but it may still need configurations on this matters so test your site using google’s page speed insights testing tool(or gtmetrix) and make sure you follow the guide instructions and methods then test your site again.
I’ve tested your site using google page speed and noticed that your server response time is very slow. According to google report it takes more then 5 seconds until the server deliver the requested data: http://screencast.com/t/taHVTK3OB Make sure that the server meets theme’s requirements: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-requirements-for-newsmag/ and also check if the parameters from system status have the values indicated here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Also try deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches then test your site page-speed again. In terms of speed we have made a page speed guide and covered the most important aspects that google notifies you of (image optimization, js/css render blocking and more..) and based on which it classifies and grades your site regarding speed. You can find it here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
If you decide to use the speed booster keep in mind that is an optional plugin and it was designed to work only with tested plugins – http://screencast.com/t/FXXDNtqfz in case you use other plugins it will be automatically disabled, so please check System Status – http://screencast.com/t/9SmVSXqe To make it work with other plugins you will have to alter the code and remove/comment this – http://screencast.com/t/RZLIOPUNdqh Also you may find some useful information here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/website-memory-problem/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/speed-booster-and-akismet/
Thanks!
HI
Thanks @Chris for you help!
@beautywarrior I assume that now you’re using an older version of Visual Composer. In the paste some of plugin’s versions had some issues with high CPU usage but now the plugin was optimized and it works better.
As @Chris pointed would be best to update the theme at V 3.1 which is available on theme forest and also update Visual Composer plugin at V 4.12. Please check our documentation for more details in this regard: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/
Also make sure that the parameters from system status have the values specified in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ and your server meets theme’s requirements: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-requirements-for-newsmag/
Thanks!
Hello CS,
Unfortunately, this error could come from a big number of problems. I believe it happens due to a server configuration which is not responding, it could be due to a delay or it could also be a temporary issue so you can try this a few times and if you still get this error please contact your host provider and let him know about this, ask them to unblock our demo in order to retrieve the theme data. It could also happen due to your wp install or other plugins might also cause this. Also, make sure that your permission for the upload folder is set correct. You can check this by trying to upload an image in the media library. If the process succeeds then the permission is ok. If not you can use the c-panel to change permissions (set them to 777) or if you do not have access to the Cpanel, please contact your hosting provider.
Also make sure you meet the requirements for newspaper: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
If you still cannot install the demo, please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can take a look. Please also provide a link to this topic.
Thank you!
Hi
The main theme requires more resources from server that’s why is very important that the requirements specified in our documentation to be met.
Thanks!
