K – So I understand this correctly.
I update to Version 8. My site will not alter and be fully functional as is.
However, I’ll want to recreate any custom pages I have using the new TagDiv Composer and then change the pages out with the new pages upon final design of using TagDiv?
How to change the fonts of
All Footer Category headings, &,
All the Post/Page Headings (H1 to H6) in the entire theme via hard-coding in Style.Css
When will Newspaper be updated with Inbuilt Json-Ld Markup
Hi,
There were some changed made to the theme activation system in the latest theme version. If you updated the theme recently you may need to activate it again. Please let us know if you have a different problem, or cannot activate the theme properly.
Thanks
Just updated to the latest version of Newspaper and while in the process of recreating the home page realized that the theme panel is not saving any changes or updates. It goes into a loop that I have to click out of in order to stop it. I checked the php.ini settings and they are all within the parameters mentioned in another post on this same topic. Plug ins are all turned off except for tagdiv composer and tagdiv social.
Please advise?
Hi,
You can proceed and update your WordPress. There have been no reported problems caused by this update. If you encounter any issues please let us know.
Thanks
Hi,
We noticed there is an update for wordpress… do we do a normal update in the admin or do we need to wait for updated theme files?
Hello yachtsailingcharter,
Yes, notice that it is important to activate your theme. Sorry for this inconvenience but for this update, was been made some adjustments at the theme activation system and that could be the reason in this case. Try to re-download the theme from Theme Forest and activate again your theme by your item purchase code. Notice that the Item Purchase Code is unique! Try to activate your theme again according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-6-how-to-activate-the-theme/
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
@corridaurbana Please provide a link to your website and more details as to where this is happening, so we can see the problem. Nothing has changed regarding the theme responsiveness in the latest update.
Thanks
Hello,
Sorry for the inconvenience. The speedbooster was not yet adapted to the new theme implementation. IT needs to be updated as well. We will update the plugin in the next theme version.
Until such time you can use this topic to remove the compatibility detect on the speedbooster plugin: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tinymce-advanced-and-other-various-disabling-speed-boster/
Thank you!
Hi,
At the moment the category pages cannot be edited as a normal page. Settings can only be made through the theme panel or customization like this. This may change in future updates.
Thank you for posting your solution here, this may be helpful for other users with similar requests.
Thanks
Hi,
Thank you for your suggestion. I will add this on our list for future updates and if this request becomes more popular, we will consider implementing a new option into our theme.
Thanks.
I’ve solved it.
I think it’s a great feature for future Newspaper Updates!
<?php
$category = get_the_category();
echo do_shortcode ('[vc_row][vc_column][td_block_big_grid_fl_3 sort="featured" category_id="'.$category[0]->cat_ID.'"][/vc_column][/vc_row]');
?>

Hi,
I am using block 24 in my website. I don’t want my images to be corrupted. I want the images to be scaled to 280×150.
I have read https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size – and here – http://www.davidtan.org/wordpress-hard-crop-vs-soft-crop-difference-comparison-example/
And also read td_api_thumb
td_api_thumb::update(‘td_100x75’, array( ‘name’ => ‘td_100x75’, ‘width’ => 100, ‘height’ => 75, ‘crop’ => array(‘center’, ‘top’), ‘post_format_icon_size’ => ‘small’, ‘used_on’ => array( ‘Module 6, 7’, ‘Block 1, 2, 7, 8’ ) ) );
Would you please tell me what is the code that I should use for scaling images to 280X150 in block 24
Yes. Most of us basically take the mods, add them to our own WP plugin to avoid any issues with theme updates. For some stuff we edit the core files, and keep track of that and then make same changes after next update.
There is a theme hook I think to “insert code at end of the post” — but if not, plenty of plugins that do that. By default WP supports inserting stuff “after the post” which is how most plugins are able to do that.
If you figure out the function, you could make your own plugin, also if not wanting to edit the theme files.
Still, good to learn how to edit core files, and track that, for stuff like minification, removing hooks to things not used, moving to web-safe fonts, or whatever.
Anyway – food for thought 🙂
Hi Chris, thanks for the tip. But I think that your methods would cause problems as the theme is updated. We’d loose the custom stuff.. So I try to do things in according with “best practices” of the theme )) Or use a standard plugin that don’t break the theme in any way.
Any chance of adding a block filter option for “random — last X posts”? Some of us who don’t update as frequently might sometimes only have 1 post in the last 7 days, but still want our home page to vary upon refresh. And anyone might want to display a rotation of the few most recent posts they published in particularly category, even if they are not in the last 7 days.
Hi, I had issues in my site with a pop ud ad in the home page, we thought it was because we updated some plug ins, but It wasn’t that. Then in the newspaper panel showed up a tab which said “activate theme” so we put the activation code and It worked for a while, now after a week the pop ups keep coming out. What could be the reason?
Hi,
It disappears for the reason Bogdan mentioned. You have the mobile theme plugin activated, and the button does not have the necessary style available on mobile. This will be taken care of in future updates.
The simplest solution for the moment would be to deactivate the mobile theme and simply resolve the issue. The button swill display just like on desktop, while the theme adapts to each device.
Thanks
Hello,
We are going to still provide visual composer as well as updates for it, so there will be no need to buy the product as we will not remove it from our theme package in the near future. We will remove visual composer only if a substantial user base stops using it and it becomes obsolete but if our users still need it, we will not remove it from the theme.
Thank you!
Hello,
We have not tested newspaper 7 with the latest version of WordPress. We only tested newspaper version 8 which is the current version. We do not test old versions of our theme with new versions of WordPress or plugins. If you want to update and use the latest features of WordPress or plugins, you will have to update the theme as well.
Thank you!
Hello,
I must say that I´m very disappointed with this incompability between the VC ant the Td Composer, in particularly that the transition to the Td Composer must be done “manually” (page by page, and post by post).
In fact, I have a site that has almost 300 pages and almost 400 posts, so it is almost impossible to make the transition!
I have been investing so much in the site using this theme, and now the theme makes a so significan change…
So, I think that you REALLY should work in making possible the update of the pages and posts from VC to Td Composer.
Thanks.
Hello,
If you did not change anything, then nothing should have happened, but people tend to leave automatic updates on so your plugins most likely got updated since then and a plugin update caused the issues. Nothing happens all of a sudden without anything changing. Please disable all plugins except the page builder, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Please also check any custom code you might have added to the theme panel or the theme files. If you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme to make sure it does not affect the proper functionality of the theme.
Thank you!
Hello,
I just updated to Newspaper 8.0.
On my website I had a parallax background, similarly to this demo: https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_travel/
Now the image is not visible http://abiteofbologna.com
Any idea?
Much appreciated Bogdan!
Also – if it is ok to ask on this thread – when I update the theme to version 8 – my current pages will be live and active and then I’ll want to re create the home page.
First, useful to look at actual ‘page source’ for a created post. If the page being loaded has a background in the HTML, then it’s there for everybody, not just one browser or another. If you write the word “puppy” on a page, it’s there for every browser. The only reason and image doesn’t load from one browser to another would be caching; meaning if one browser loaded the old photo yesterday, you change it, and still loading old image today in ONE place, it’s not the website or the theme, but caching someplace.
I don’t work here, but that has been my experience. Generally best to test site with Chrome, vs Firefox, as FF sometimes has major compatibility bugs with the rest of the known universe which you can only address by doing an update to FF to see if the bugs fixed.
I find it useful to
a) go through the tutorials here
b) go through EVERY admin panel to see what’s there
Sorry if that didn’t help. Just some input 🙂
We’ve all been there. so hang in there!
