Hello nomoretechno,
You should install it via FTP way because this is the surest method in this case. Notice that we recommend doing a full backup to your database for each theme update.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
Try updating the theme by FTP to make sure it is done properly
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Also check the theme system status and make modifications to the parameters mentioned in this guide, if necessary
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Then try the tagDiv composer again and see if it works as intended. Please let us know if you still have problems.
Thanks

Can you help?

Hi,
I see that you are using an older version of Visual composer, try updating it to the latest version provided in the theme package
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Then clear any caching installed, and check if the error is gone. The best way to update the theme is by FTP, you could try to reinstall the theme by that method as a last resort
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thanks
Hello Team,
Updated from 8.0 to 8.1 but still seems to this error not been solved.
can you please check this.
Thanks
Best Regards

Soundstrat, are you still using Newspaper 6.3? My site updated to WP 4.8.1 automatically and have not had any conflict with Newspaper 8.0. Just wondering if you updated to NP 8+ if that would help (?).
Or has anyone noticed this issue with WP 4.8.1. and the latest NP 8 update from a couple days ago?
Cheers 🙂
I installed a fresh install, i try to update the “save settings”
The install does not save, it just keeps trying to save, the icon does not come off nor does it save information
Please help!
Ok, so I have found the solution…
The functions.php file in the new Newspaper 6.3 is different than the one that was in 6.0
To resolve this issue, go to themes – editor in your dashboard, then replace the following code – making sure NOT to remove any other code. If you remove other code, you may lose custom functionalities that you’ve set in this functions file. Here’s the code:
<?php
/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Newspaper 6 Child theme - Please do not use this child theme with older versions of Newspaper Theme
What can be overwritten via the child theme:
- everything from /parts folder
- all the loops (loop.php loop-single-1.php) etc
- the rest of the theme has to be modified via the theme api:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-theme-api/
*/
/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
add the parent style + style.css from this folder
*/
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles', 1000);
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style('td-theme', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', '', '6.1c', 'all' );
wp_enqueue_style('td-theme-child', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array('td-theme'), '6.1c', 'all' );
}
With this:
<?php
/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Newspaper V6.3+ Child theme - Please do not use this child theme with older versions of Newspaper Theme
What can be overwritten via the child theme:
- everything from /parts folder
- all the loops (loop.php loop-single-1.php) etc
- please read the child theme documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
- the rest of the theme has to be modified via the theme api:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-theme-api/
*/
/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
add the parent style + style.css from this folder
*/
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles', 1001);
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style('td-theme', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', '', TD_THEME_VERSION, 'all' );
wp_enqueue_style('td-theme-child', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array('td-theme'), TD_THEME_VERSION . 'c', 'all' );
}
This worked for me. Please update and let us know if it works for you.
Hello, I am sorry for the delay in getting back sooner… I was out of the office on medical leave.
I have tried deactivating all of the existing plugins with only the 2 required Newspaper / tagDiv plugins remaining active and updated the theme to the most current version 8.1:
https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/2710222/460bc918eaa38ea368d4e4046b4c9245
I also double-checked by removing all previous plugins via FTP and even with the updates and the removal of all other plugins, I am still having this issue:
https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/2710235/8ee3819a0aeca71b8ef9f10562356295
System status is all correct: https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/2710240/6df6ef2d7100f625d080eec065ec4b52
I cannot get a homepage layout to work without this functionality so I look forward to your assistance.
Thanks, Kory
Am o propunere, poate la updateul viitor considerat si asta destul de necesar. In seara asta siteul meu a fost spart, cineva a pus un cod in Theme Panel – Ads – Header Ads, care mi-a redirectionat siteul spre un site de spam. Pentru ca nu am reusit sa ma aflu in fata calculatorului nu am putut inlatura codul respectiv asa usor, am intrat in admin panel de pe mobil, am reusit sa accesez Theme Panel – Ads si de acolo sa sterg codul din Header Ads doar a aparut o problema, nu am putut sa salvez stergerea pentru ca nu a aparatu butonul albastra Save. Asta apare doar pe varianta de desktop, pe iOS – si banuiesc ca nici pe Android – nu apare. Ar fi un update foarte important zic eu, daca acest Save ar fi mereu acolo undeva, altfel o sa deie multe batai de cap, nu doar mie, ci si probabil altora.
Hi there,
I’ve been re-building my site in a staging area since I lost a lot of customizations when I updated.
I need to create a full-width parallax effect behind the featured content on the home page here: http://hometownsevier.staging.wpengine.com/
Here’s the site i’ve been trying to re-create:
https://www.hometownsevier.com
Hi again!
I updated the theme to last version and the issue is back, but now the “z-index:-1” doesn’t work anymore.
Website’s URL: https://arenarubronegra.com/noticias/em-sua-segunda-partida-como-titular-juninho-exalta-o-trabalho/. (Please, see the margin right next to “+ Lidas da semana” module.)
How I could fix it now?
Tks!
Maybe also caused with the 8.1 update, i tried to disable all the plugins but it still not working
Hi Simon,
I have tried everything you have suggest. I have disabled all plugins and no change to mobile. It crashes. Have left all plugin disabled and lowered the PHP version from 7.1 to 7.0 to 5.6 and still crashes mobile. Have made sure that cloudflare and all serve side cash is empty and dumped and mobile still crashed. Made sure all CCS/HTML.Java codes were removed from “Custom Code” section and still crashes. Installed a fresh new version of Version 4.0, still chrashed.
Activated Tagdiv composer and mobile works fine 100%. (No, have not changed any page format in Tagdiv Composer which could cause page to fail). Now I have a working Mobile and Desktop with Tagdiv Composer but this plugin will not work well with a good amount of Visual Composer addons which is what some of us bought and developed our pages around.
Unless you have other guidance or assistance, can you kindly send me an email link to the previous Version prior to 4.0 update. Think it was 3.3.1. This one worked fine last I checked.
Thanks
Hi, since the wordpress update i’ve got an issue with the template,
the menu is not working anymore and all the pictures seems to be lost, but they aren’t, they are still in the folder
Some of links don’t work anymore too
any clues ?
Ps: i’ve got newspaper 8.1
Thanks
These are the files that have changed from version 8.0 to version 8.1.
You can upgrade from version 8.0 to version 8.1 by simply copying those files over the existing ones. However, this process is for advanced users.
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.
im having the same issue with the new update…
I’m updating from 8 to 8_1 and I see this folder. What are the contents in here and what is its significance to the update? Is there anything manual I have to do with this?
Hi, I’ve just updated the theme to 8.1 version (previously I was with 6.5).
I have used the FTP-way, deleting the old folders (both for theme and plugins) and then uploading the new ones.
There is one big problem. In desktop version, the mobile menu appears upon my logo. I have tried to deactivate all the plugins but the problem persists. I have emptied the cache many times, with no result.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Hello,
1) I’m trying to make my first post but I don’t see the default editor. The Theme is up to date.
Screen shot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bex1wjtjx42pp3y/1.jpg?dl=0
2) Also why is that the I have to re-activate the theme every time I install a new update?
3) I also get this message in the plugins page regarding Visual Composer. How do I fix this?
‘There is a new version of WPBakery Visual Composer available. View version 5.2.1 details. Automatic update is unavailable for this plugin. To receive automatic updates license activation is required. Please visit settings to activate your Visual Composer.’
Thanks
Neevin
Hello nomoretechno
Please update the theme to the latest theme version via FTP way and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme core files and check the results. Should work as expected. Most likely, you have removed the Visual cOmposer and when you re-install it again, you have installed the 5.2 version of it which was not tested with the theme and that’s why you have had this error. Now, the theme is fully compatible with this version and that’s why you should update it. Clear all the caches and check the results.
Thanks for the message!
I am experiencing a painful situation in developing a site with Newspaper eand I am very concerned about my other 4 site already using your theme.
This site is on schedule for going online when I will be back from holiday and now, after updating, I am not sure what to do with TD VC.
I mean I know that I can’t use it, because the structure I have already created was developed and chosen with the client is not replicable with TD VC as in many part I used 4 colums on one row. I mean it seems insane to me.
But most important i have nearly 30-35 static pages already built: do I have to recreate them all?
And this is just part of the problems: since I updated I can no longer use Text Block with Title in row as it produce a page error.
Also being forced to use front end editor doesn’t allow me to use powerful normal VC integration like Calendarizeit or Eventon. Not mentioning that back-end editor is pure gold in some situations.
I (and plenty of other collegues) need to know for real what you are planning to do.
Can I continue to use normal JS VC?
Will TD VC replace JS VC?
Or fully compatibility will always be guaranteed?
I am really worried as I am leaving for holiday (now forced to take my pc with me) and it was all perfectcly working since updates.
Newspaper was really a state of the art theme (it still is, actually) for simplicity, clear customizations and reliability: please, don’t mess it up!
Hi,
After investigating there seems to be a problem with the new theme update. The theme package has been updated as of this moment, please download it again and install it and everything should work properly regarding the mobile theme. We are very sorry for any inconvenience created by this issue.
Thank you!
Hi,
That could happen if you use Visual composer on posts. That is not recommended
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
If you use Visual composer then deactivate the tagDiv composer and everything should work properly.
But please note that in future theme updates we will add more elements and options only for the tagDiv composer. That is why it is recommended to use the new front-end editor for your pages.
Thanks
Oh, and more: in the fixed post on this form you warn us not to update VC to 5.2 and to remain at 5.1 using the plugin we usually find in the theme package until next update.
Yesterday it has arrived an update from ThemeForest and the JS VC inside the package IS the 5.2 (I have installed it on a test site), but the post is still warning on 5.2.
So could you be clear on what we should do?
