Hi Guys,
On a single-post, header style 8, post template style 6, global-block-template-1, with this url
: https://www.nieuwetijdskind.com/hoe-word-je-een-goede-coach/
Custom css does not remove the responsive Google Ad, injected through the themepanel Header ad.
I use this code in the Custom CSS section of the theme panel:
.postid-73907 .td-g-rec-id-header
{ display: none;
}
It works well except with with this posttemplate. 🙁
Theme and plugins etc all updated.
Please assist.
Kind Regards,
Gordon
Hello,
we are using your theme since V 7.0 and we were very happy with it. But after the last update the front-end view is crashing on every site, where the sidebar module is active.

Where is the problem? Do we have to fix it by ourselves through CSS or is that a known issue?
Hello Catalin, I updated the theme to the latest version via FTP (rename the old theme and uploaded the new version), I deleted the cache but the problem persists
What happened?
Thank You again 🙂
Hi, guys!
I’m using the Newspaper 8.1 right now, and I want to update to the 8.7.1.
But all the methods in this link (https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/) will remove my modifications, right?
I don’t want to set everything again.
How can I update without losing my modifications?
I thought I could use a child theme. Can I do that? If so, how can I install my child theme now, using my modifications? After that, I could install the main theme, deleting the old one and not losing every change I made.
Or some other better idea?
Hope you can help me.
Thanks

Hi there. Second update in few weeks for me and both times I had problem with Visual Composers (WPBakery) Row Background color changing from black (which i set) to white. Although the setting is BLACK it displays white.
First time I managed to fix this issue by updating WPbakery plugin.
I just deactivated TagDiv Composer and the background appear normal with other parts of website. So clearly the tagDiv Composer and Visual Composer can’t work at the same time. The problem was that after update it enables the tagDiv Composer automatically (for me it DOES NOT EVEN WORK – Can’t save anything there).
Thanks
Hi,
Please use your feedburner ID, not the form code – http://rosalindgardner.com/blog/how-to-find-your-feedburner-id/ – https://www.screencast.com/t/p3HshHTdZ
We will change the input for Feedburner in the next update.
Thanks!
The articles are saved in the server database, they will not be removed when the theme is updated/reinstalled/switched/deleted.
So reinstall the theme, do not make any code modifications to the theme files. There should not be any problem. Check the guide and install by FTP if possible.
Hello
@oneprimalscream, please edit the td_css_res_compiler.php and add the following check here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/8SFVutv695 is_string($att_value) &&
@anoopcnair, make sure that you have updated the TD Composer to the latest version of it (v2.0) which come bundled with the theme packet.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
The theme will try to update the plugin automatically, but seems sometimes it fails. Try to use FTP to install the composer. Remove the previous plugin folder from the uploads folder (if present) and paste the new one from the latest theme package (unzip it first). A guide for manually installing a plugin here
– http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/step-by-step-guide-to-install-a-wordpress-plugin-for-beginners/
All the plugins are provided in the plugins folder located in the theme package

Thanks
Hi,
Changes made in the theme panel, created posts and pages, these will not be lost when the theme is updated. They are saved in the database. Sorry again for this inconvenience.
Please let us know if you have further questions, or you need help with something.
Thank you!
Hi… I want to know what’s new on Newspaper 8.7.1 update? I don’t find on https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609
Thanks
Have same issue here on Newspaper 8.7 (after update from 8.5). Will try the update of td-composer. Anything else I need to update except theme files?
Hello frankcf,
In order to achieve the best results after you will install the latest update you have to follow some rigorous steps like this -> you have to delete both of your themes, child theme, and main theme. All your customizations from your Newspaper 3.9.1 theme will do not work because all the files from this were changed in Newspaper 8.6 or 8.7.1 (latest update) and as the main theme and also you lose all changes.
The Newspaper 8.7.1 is a whole new theme so an update from 3.9.1 to 8.7.1 may cause the same issues as switching to another theme (but we did try to maintain compatibility where ever possible).
Always make a full backup of your current installation – https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups and then do a clean update, meaning that we recommend that you delete the old version of the theme before uploading the new one – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ update also the plugins that come bundled with the theme files from the /plugins folder.
The shortcodes have been changed so old ones will not work anymore. Please note that old files customization or custom CSS will not work with the new version and you will have to adjust or re-add them.
Bottom line is that newspaper 8.7.1 is a whole new theme built from scratch.
Unfortunately, you will have to clear your agenda and spare a bit of time to adjust all your settings to the new version of the theme.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hi, I have just hit a problem with the tagdiv element ‘text with title- after pressing the ‘edit content’ button the text in the box that loads does not appear and just shows a blank area.
Here is video link to see: http://nimb.ws/bvMefI
I recently updated the theme, but cannot be 100% sure if this caused the issue as I have not used the text editor for a couple of months now, but it could be factor.
Have gone through the usual process of deactivating plugins but that made no difference.
Any ideas on what could be the issue and cause.
Hi! I have same problem on my websites after update from 8.5 to 8.7
Hi,
So the change of font size for the blocks through the theme panel still doesn’t work? Even after the update?
I removed the CSS I had and tried to change the size of block 21 (so module 16) but there was no effect.
When do you plan to fix this?
Best Regards,
Hello,
Please make a back-up before updating as it is the safest method not to lose any data in case anything goes wrong. You do not have to export or import theme settings. Simply use this guide to update https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ . Your content and settings should not be changed.
Thank you!
Hello,
The update log and list of modified files is provided in the theme package in each update. There is also a list on the presentation page here: https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609 (scroll towards the bottom of the page) https://www.screencast.com/t/CGThmgeeqdl
Thank you!

Hey!
First of all thank you for keeping the theme up to date. Not giving much reason to move from it. Recently I updated it to use AMP feature and started getting this error on few pages: Prohibited or invalid use of HTML Tag (Critical issue)

Hello,
Please update again as there is another version out now. Please also update the theme plugins. Then clear all caching including browser cache, cache plugin and cdn server.
Thank you!
Hello,
Please update your theme to the latest version and test again. 8.7.1 is out and it fixed any known issues with the tagdiv composer and visual composer. Also please update the plugins by deleting the ones you currently have installed now and installing them again from the theme plugins section
Thank you!
Hello 🙂
I am using Newspaper theme for my blog for more than 2 years. Can it be possible to create another sidebar on the left??
Nowadays, every theme is offering both sidebars. Can we expect this on Newspaper theme in future updates???
Awaiting your reply,
Thanks.
Indeed there were some fixes made, mainly the issue where the tagDiv composer not being updated caused blank pages. The theme is now version 8.7.1 you can download it and install. Let us know if you are experiencing problems of any kind.
Thank you!
