Hi Guys,
Thought id update the theme this morning with the latest version but after the update the website layout changed to full width.
It only seemed to effect the top half of the page but i have had to revert back to the previous verison i had as the site looked broken and i couldnt see any settings to change this.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your time
I have searched other forums to obtain direction on this and many of the links provided are not working.
I am simply attempting to update the videos in the Video Player/Video News in the installed demo I have modified. What area of the theme builder do I access to input these updates?
Does disabling this mobile theme plugin dramatically changes the theme code? During the theme update, I had a disastrous shake in my SERPs rankings. About disabling all other plugins, I will try it, however, I have all essential plugins installed. So, this would not be possible. Can you please take a look into the theme code on my site?
I was able to solve the problem I came back to the site a month ago. I could not do it any other way. Probably little of my knowledge, but no problem.
Now the site already worked I passed the new update of the theme I activated the license everything ok. But now it says that you need to activate the visual composer. Not included yet?
thank you

Hi,
That probably means that the theme has not installed or updated properly. That option should be available for the article inline ad. A theme reinstall should fix the issue

This is a similar topic

Thanks
Hi,
We will update the documentation in this matter as soon as possible. Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused for you.
Please make the modification mentioned by Bogdan and also this one
– https://www.screencast.com/t/6VyUquDo4Z
The blocks should be displayed as an option in the tagDiv composer after making this modification.
Thanks
Hi,
Please check your email, my colleague has replied in matters concerning your website header and menu. The menu seems to look as you wanted.
3. For the moment the tagDiv composer does not have this kind of element. This might chnage in future updates, and more elements and options will be added to this editor.
4. There are multiple way you could do that. Use a single image element and stretch the row and content for example. The result will be a full width image.
5. The category tags color can be changed but only for the post page, for each category.

On pages that could be achieved with custom CSS code.
Thanks
> Do I still need to use that update patch @tagdivchick mentioned?
No. The most correct and safe way to update is update the theme via FTP: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Also remember to update the included plugins along with the theme, from the theme package.
Best way upgrade to wordpress 4.8.1 before upgrading the theme.
Hello @Edward
I’m going to upgrade from 7.6 to 8.1.
Do I still need to use that update patch @tagdivchick mentioned?
Besides, I still haven’t upgraded to wordpress 4.8.1…should I do it first or after upgrading the theme?
When I updated to the new theme version, and as well the latest WP, half the sites was not working. Ultimate Addons created a mess as well. 1/4 rows moved to 1/1 rows and so on…
I solved it by DEACTIVATING TD composer, reinstalling newest VC and had to do some margin corrections in VC CSS block, and all is running again…

Update, turns out it WAS a plug in issue, it just didn’t pick it up right away. It was a widget I was using in uber menu called Weather Widget One. I really need the weather to display for the user’s location, not a set location. Your built in weather thing is PERFECT but it’s a static location. Will this be added in the future???
Howdy … I have no idea which site is on my profile here, sadly, so might have to peek at that 😉 I actually have a main business site which hasn’t been updated in years, as I’m building my own WP theme from scratch for first time since 2011 for various reasons, from Bootstrap 3.x. But I manage a news network which uses TagDiv themes, and our main news ‘parent’ online since 2000 is mix of static shtml with 100/100 pagespeed score, and then news platform running on WP, but with a semi-custom theme not running TD, due to fact we started that prior to TD being in business and way too much hacking to switch.
As general rule for hacks:
a) yes, if you update theme, they get over-written as common sense — if you edit functions.php and then update theme, it uploads new file, so old one is gone. So, common method is to keep track of changed files, and edits by line number, then re-apply to new theme, then upload new theme with the same hacks applied (FTP, and I use TextPad on Win10, or BBEdit on Mac).
b) what I’ve started to do, with this new theme from scratch project, is move all mods to a plugin. This allows me to keep hacks, security mods, speed mods, inserts, RSS hacks, etc. in “one place.” — This is useful for stuff you don’t want to change every time with TD or other themes, but can’t always address stuff you actually do hack. — For instance, I take out the login code from TD theme headers. Have to do that every time. I also remove the xmlrpc, pingback or any of that stuff. == but again, with WP, you can often create your own plugin with a function to ‘enqueue’ something to the WP header, and this gets inserted to WP header, same way the theme panel does, but if you put it in your own plugin (which is insanely easy to do), then it survives theme update.
Not sure that helps — but food for thought. Thanks for kind words.
Also, I stopped posting links to my sites here as they end up getting barrage of hack attempts due to popularity of TD themes and a few bad actors lurking here.
As to JSON, I’m just learning how to build that from scratch myself, for this new ‘in house’ theme project — so, guess what I’m doing this coming Saturday! 🙂
Hi,
at the moment I’m implementing a simple Anti-Adblock plugin from me into Newspaper WordPress site. It replaces the blocked ads inside the themes classes like “td-a-rec td-a-rec-id-custom_ad_1”. I’ve noticed all of the 5 “custom_ad” classes contain the word “ad” in their class name. These elements are blocked by adblockers while the other ad class (like the one for the sidebar) hasn’t the word “ad” in it.
So my options are either changing the class names inside the /themes/Newspaper/includes/shortcodes/td_block_ad_box.php with a code like this:
$check_css_name = ['custom_ad_1', 'custom_ad_2', 'custom_ad_3', 'custom_ad_4', 'custom_ad_5'];
if (in_array($spot_id, $check_css_name)){
$spot_id = str_replace("ad", "stealth", $spot_id);
}
or a theme update which changes the names. I think this would be an easy and convenient change.
It would be nice if you considered it. Thanks in advance.
Hi,
You can add the code in the header through a child theme, that way it will not be lost when the theme is updated
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Create a child theme and copy the header file located in the main theme folder, inside the child theme folder.
This is the purpose of having a child theme, to make customization to the theme without losing them after updating. All the files that can be modified through a child theme are mentioned in the guide.
More information about child themes in general here

Thanks
Hi, Chris. On a separate note, would you be willing to check out this thread I started and weigh in if you have time? Basically I’m interested in adding some schema markup to posts, but it looks like Newspaper will override them every time I update it. I’m wondering if you add markup to posts and how you get around this? Also, I’m new to this markup stuff. Could I add it to the header code for the post in the editing panel? I’ve been researching this for days and can’t yet find anyone who shows exactly how to insert it (and the plugins I’ve found so far offer a very limited number of markup categories).
Thanks in advance if you can help shed light on this in any way! 🙂

I have the same problem…
This happened after 8.1 update i guess…
Chrome console shows 2 JS’s
1- text.js
2- mode-less.js
couldnt be loaded…
Failed to load resource: (text.js) the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
Failed to load resource: (mode-less.js) the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
I have removed all plugins except TD Composer and reinstalled TD composer also , using cloudlfare i deleted cahce many times… Nothing changed this….

Hope there is a solution?
Have either of you added the schema markup for recipes and then checked to see if it was retained after you updated the theme? I’ve been asking about this on another thread. I was told that any changes we make to the theme will be overwritten every time the theme is updated. The impression I’ve gotten is that these markup changes will be overwritten.
Also, how exactly are you adding the recipe markup? I was using a recipe plugin in the past, but it was creating duplicate content. When I deleted it and formatted my recipes myself by creating a template, they started ranking higher (e.g., if you search “low fat marble cake” on Google desktop mine ranks at number 1 now). But I’m concerned because on mobile they rank lower and I think it’s partly because I don’t have the recipe markup…
Thanks Bogdan. I don’t want to remove the existing theme markup for articles. I just want to add the markup for recipes, products, and reviews.
So…
1) It sounds like if I add schema markup to posts and pages, the theme updates will overwrite them. Did I understand that correctly?
2) If #1 is true, how do you suggest people add schema markup? Do they have to make a child theme first?
3) and… Now that I already have my site up and running, should I be switching to creating a child theme? I’d rather not, but I’m worried about not having a way to add the schema markup.
4) When I make Tagdiv recommended changes to increase my site speed, will those get overwritten with every new update of the theme?
Hi,
I disable all plugins. update theme to lastest version. modal image dont working on pages.
What we can do now?
many thanks.
Hi Chris,
You help a lot of people around here, and you are clearly a good programmer. But this time your are wrong! I have over 8 years experience in SEO and it doesn’t matter how “correct” is this from a stand point of programing. I an SEO I spend many hours correcting stuff programmers didn’t do properly from an SEO standpoint.
In this case, there is only one way to know, and that is testing. I was disconcerted when I lost my rank for the main keyword at my homepage suddenly jumped from position 3 to 40 *(all the rest of the post that don’t have dup h1 didn’t lose their ranks), when I discovered this I did the change so there is only one h1 and my main keyword is now back at the top ten and climbing.
I t may be one day google algo is updated to allow this but right now this affect ranks.
It is also very bad Tagdiv changed this without notifying, I personally lost a lot of money.
MESOTU I would correct this if I where you, you have nothing to gain by having more than an h1 in the same page.
Cheers

Hello,
Yes, the theme update will not influence your theme settings if done properly. Please use this guide to update: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thank you!

how to fix it. or please fix it on next update. thank you
Hello,
Indeed if you edit the theme code, when updating, the files will be rewritten. Unfortunately there is no update proof way of altering the theme files, sorry.
Thanks.
