I would join in- plus I usually check other people websites for inspiration especially people using the same theme ( : By the way @Mauras for some reason I could not load your site . It came with whitepage .
My site is http://www.theskykid.com It features articles and reviews of coming of age movies, music and books with a focus on adolescent development and on young people in the performing arts
Switched to Newspaper last year and am still figuring things out.
Hi,
We use xampp installs for testing, we didn’t tested other tools so i cannot recommend you something else.
First backup the site files and database, in case something goes wrong you just use the backup to restore the site. Usually c-panel comes with an option for this, or you could do this manually – https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
You can’t keep the old theme in the same folder, you either delete it an install the new one or move it to another location.
In v6.1 we fixed some of the issues which were reported on v6.0:
[ Version 6.1 ]
- improvement: added global colour for block headers in General theme colors section
- improvement: now you can change the fonts on Lists in post content from Theme panel
- improvement: added .screen-reader-text class for better usability
- improvement: visual composer updated to the latest version
- improvement: better documentation + first video tutorials
- fix: UI improvements, key images now have a specified height, this prevents repaints and it makes the page appear that it loads faster
- fix: unique articles work now as expected
- fix: better review import from version 4
- fix: speed booster 4.1 works better now + buddyPress fix
- fix: big grids on iOS where missing titles until touch
- fix: block 20 css fix + speed booster
- fix: content bottom and top content ads css fix for safari, firefox and IE
- fix: various css fixes
- fix: social counter instagram
- fix: main menu z-index
- fix: missing Ajax filter option for IOS slider
- fix: visual composer single image block alignment issues
- fix: space issue when turn off the top menu on header style 12
- fix: the ajax dropdown filter sometimes disappeared when the mouse was moved down to select ca category
- fix: ajax filter - was deselecting all the selected filters from the page on click
- fix: better alignment on reviews
We may consider releasing beta versions in the future, thanks for your suggestion.
Thank you!

hi,
did you also modify this part: http://screencast.com/t/vCwLtY9p1
after modification just load the /wp-admin page once and after that remove all modifications. It should import all the review settings. If you have more than 300 posts, put a value higher than 300.
Hi,
You can follow the above solution but add the code in a div with a unique class – http://screencast.com/t/MENgNj22pF and use this custom css to hide it only for top review – http://screencast.com/t/4q8K3BJdPnj
.review-top .td-review-footer {
display: none;
}
If this doesn’t help you will need custom work to change and add a new the review function – http://screencast.com/t/2cqWjTrBzfm unfortunately we cannot provide any type of custom work at this time, sorry!
Hope this helps!
Hi,
This is the same problem I’ve been having since I upgraded and updated. The icons for editing individual blocks are not there. I can only move or delete whole blocks but not edit. Please help. I haven’t been able to use any of the really nice looking homepage templates.
I also have a notice on my dashboard that says: “Important notice: You have an outdated version of Visual Composer Design Options. It is required to review and save it.”
Any help to fix this will be appreciated.
Hey Chris!
I wish that helped 🙁
Whether I remove that part of the coding or not, still doesn’t work on either 6.0 or 6.1
This is what my theme looks like before (a snippet preview): http://www.screencast.com/t/9vZGZQ6XaHer
This is what it looks like after (another snipper preview – but the whole theme goes completely berzerk): http://www.screencast.com/t/NxRY3lXBZ15t
Hi. I found this yesterday after asking my question and unfortunately it didnt work. For some reason also using the script reset my settings. Ive started adding the review-scores manually again now. =(
Hi,
I was working on W3 Total Cache plugin and after I enabled the Minify settings the theme started behaving differently some of the post were deformed, refer URL”http://www.yourpitstop.com/jaguar-xe-review/”
the image of the problem is as follow: http://oi60.tinypic.com/262tyyw.jpg
so far I have tried deactivating the plugin and have emptied complete cache and reinstalled the theme.
What am I doing wrong please tell?
What are the correct settings of W3 Total Cache Plugin for Newspaper Theme?
Which is plugin more compatible W3 total cache or W3 Super Cache?
Hi,
Please check this solution – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/reviews-of-posts-get-lost/ make a full backup before.
Thanks!
Hi Alin,
thanks for your reply. That is getting close.
What I actually meant was displaying only the overall score on top – so basically the “5 + stars + text overall score”-box with the whole review container from your screencast image.

http://www.uspornaziarovka.sk/forum/casova-stopa-prispevkov/
I dont understand…
please let me know how could I possibly get the the design you have in a demo version
http://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/full_screen_preview/5489609
thank you
Hi,
You can show the review box also on top of your article, but you have to edit post template that you use and copy the code like this – http://screencast.com/t/tvKrttt4g6 – http://screencast.com/t/aGhfTPfh06C
If you want to remove the bottom reviews, just delete the review code from bottom.
Thanks!
Hi,
I run a movie-review-website where Newspaper have been very useful with the stars-rating and it has worked out well, til now.
I updated to version 6 the other day and among my older reviews, about 800 of them, most seem to have lost their review-stars and thus have no grading according to what i have written about them and so on.
Why has this happened, i have changed the css for the table where reviews are shown (using custom css and a couple of colorchanges in the theme css-file) and the changes have been simply hiding content and changing colors.
Can i in any way get my review-ratings back or is my second option, removing the feature completely what i should be looking at here? Database gone bust?
My site: filmforalla.se
I dont know what other information to give, im far from an expert, so ask and i’ll give details.
regenerate thumbnails works well for me …
we had a site with 10,000+ images (launched in Dec 2005 on WordPress), and the “regenerate thumbnails” plugin worked well.
We also used Auto Post Thumbnail PRO for the ooooold content first time to get a featured image and/or default featured image for really old stuff with TINY images.
Make sure you up your base memory limit in the wp-config.php file (WP defaults to 40MB, but really needs 128 or 256 these days), and make sure you backup your old image folder if you want to keep a safe copy of that (which, ahem, you should be doing periodically anyway).
If you want to do best practice:
a) check the sizes of the new layout and “know” which sizes you plan to use for your modules
b) change the 3 small/medium/large sizes in the WP media settings to match 3 most common; but make sure large is not larger than size files you plan to upload
c) look in the NEW theme panel at the modules image sizes control, and turn OFF the sizes you don’t plan to use (note possible need for the preview image in search box!)
d) regenerate thumbnails
make some coffee while that’s running. 🙂
Should work marvelously!
Hi,
this might be a feature request. I do have a review site and I would love to display the overall rating of a product directly on top of an article – either in the article image below of the title or even better as a small info within the introduction. It would be enough to simply display the overall rating from the rating box at the end of the post. Is this somehow possible?

Hi,
I’ve been searching the forums but cannot find a solution to a few issues I have with the slider on my homepage on htt://www.hisoverhers.com
1) On the top left-hand coerner the category name is displayed in a red box and in front there is a shaded/dark grey box with no text. I have noticed that on review posts that box contains the stars given for that review. I only want that shaded/dark grey box to appear on review posts, if possible, or otherwise not to appear at all.
2) I want my slider to look like the one in your demo. With big visible arrows and the text inside the image and not starting outside of the image. Right now the arrows are tiny and on the edges of the slider.
3) In your demo the slider works well in mobile. But when I open my site the post tittle font is huge and does not resize. The result is that text is not displayed properly and the slider looks awful on mobile.
Thanks!
As shown in the following image:

What do you think the problem might be?
Thanks for your great support.
Peace.
Hi!
I have just made a new install of the version 6 and I have a suggestion for a next update. I will leave more suggestions as a comment to this post if I find more.
When the Swedish translation is loaded: “REVIEW OVERVIEW –> ÖVERSYN ÖVERSIKT”. This means “Vie View (as in seeing from above and view when standing in a high place). It should be instead “RECENSERA ÖVERSIKT”.
Hope you include this adjust in the next update 🙂
Did you
a) turn off all plugins except visual composer
b) clear all your server caching if using that
c) reset your CDN if using that / cloudflare, etc.
Make sure you delete old TD plugins, old theme folder; upload NEW theme folder, new plugins (don’t ‘over write’).
Then go to your “page” for your home page and preview to see if works; if not, then try making new simple page with just list of stories, preview see if works.
Just thoughts on debugging your particular setup.
YES! You just made my day 😀
Thanks Marius for bringing back my reviews.
Hi,
after upgrading to version 6 some of my review posts lost their ratings (overall score, single score, summary text) e.g. http://www.brettspiele-magazin.de/qwixx/
Is there something I can do instead of adding review scores manually on all posts again?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
1. Please check this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/fisaZY2tD
.td-review .td-review-final-star {
color: green;
}
Also if you want to change this on modules you can use this custom css – http://screencast.com/t/6cWnFuBWKaHN
.entry-review-stars {
color: green;
}
2. You have to edit the template file that you use – http://screencast.com/t/4Ws3SlEBS
Result bellow featured image on default post template – http://screencast.com/t/t8QbpPW59luW – http://screencast.com/t/EuskmHrQ05mi
Thanks!
Hi there, two questions about the review module:
1. How to change the color of the stars in star ratings?
2. Would it be possible to display the review module above rather than below the post?
Thanks!

You would need to insert that into the template file for the module/layout for post page you happen to be using for your site. Look at the files in the root of the theme folder.
eg., if using single template 5 … well, guess which files that would be ? 😉
single_template_5.php
loop-single-5.php
so, if you look at loop-single.5 you might see this
<div class="td-post-text-content">
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_content();?>
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
<footer>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_post_pagination();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_review();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_source_and_via();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_social_sharing();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_social_like_tweet();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_next_prev_posts();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_author_box();?>
And so you might insert your code either in footer area above the post pagination, replace the social sharing element; or after author box … etc.
Often you can test by simply putting some text into a spot in above file, like
<p>Happy Sunday Everybody - this is a test.</p>
and see where that prints on your post page.
Hope that helped 🙂
