Often caching issue, or transients issue after doing updates to latest Yoast SEO or this week’s version of WordPress.
a) try resaving permalinks
b) try clearing transients with WP-Optimize
c) clear any caching plugin, AND in your browser
This usually solves such “sudden” gremlins after doing updates.
( I don’t work here. )
The child theme is used if any modification is needed to be done on the theme files. If modifications are done on the parent (main) theme files, the changes would be lost when the theme is updated. Updating the child theme should keep the modifications intact even when the parent theme is updated, depending on the amount of changes made in the parent theme due to the update and modifications done in the child theme.
One more question! it is safe to update my theme in future without making a child theme?
Hi
I understand that it is best practice to use a child theme so that your customizations are kept intact whenever you do updates. I see that the Child theme can be found in the code file that comes with the theme. Inside this file are two zip files, td-api-plugin-1.0.2 and td-custom-post-type. Are these the child theme zip files that you would use and which one would you use? I was hoping to find a zip file called “newspaper child theme” that I could upload directly into my themes section and activate.

I read that if I did change to the theme will be not possible to update the theme without losing the changes. I did some changes in the theme (as you can see in the previous topic started by me), mainly about css. In this case, updating the theme, I will lose the changes and I should make them again?
Thanks
Hi.
I download the update of the theme. However, when I went to “Update file” in the appearence>editor of WP, it told me the follow message:
The requested resource
/wp-admin/theme-editor.php
does not allow request data with POST requests, or the amount of data provided in the request exceeds the capacity limit.
How can I fix the problem and update the theme? Thanks a lot!
I had the exact same problem for several days and in the end this is what worked for me…
1. Delete the current version of the social counter plugin completely
2. Put whatever security/firewall plugin you use into learning mode or temporarily disable it
3. Delete all browser cache
4. Download the updated plugin zip mentioned bat Catalin in this related article thread https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/problem-with-facebook-social-counter/
5. Upload/install plugin from WordPress plugin page
6. Activate plugin
7. Add your Facebook ID, App ID and secret from within the Social Counter widget OR Social Counter element in a new page on Visual Composer (both ways worked for me after all the above)
I truly hope that works for you as well.

Hi
I have managed to solve the problem of not being able to upload my theme by googling “The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.” There was some good advice there that was really helpful on this subject.
I still want to know if I have to purchase a licence to use visual composer to get all the updates and premium support.

Hi
I have just purchased the newspaper theme and tried to install it locally using MAMP. I follow this process from the dashboard –> themes –> add new –> upload theme –> Choose File –> Install Now. I am using the theme zip file but it won’t upload and instead, I get a message “Are you sure you want to do this?” Then this link “please try again” which doesn’t work either. This is a fresh WordPress install that I am using in MAMP and I can install themes like twenty fourteen from WordPress.Org by choosing that theme and clicking install. I can also install the newspaper theme on my live site (MySpace.net.nz) but want to be able to develop in my local environment which I have been able to do so with other themes before, although I am no expert.
I have just tried uploading a child theme which is only 13kb and was successful. Next, I tried to upload the parent theme, (not newspaper), which is 3809kb and got this message “The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.” so I presume the problem I have got is a lack of space in my local MAMP environment. I have 826GB of free disk space on my computer if that has anything to do with it. How do I solve this problem so that I can upload the newspaper theme?
Next problem. On my live site, I have activated Visual Composer which looks like it is available to use but I notice that when I click on visual composer from the dashboard menu I have this message. “Hola! Would you like to receive automatic updates and unlock premium support? Please activate your copy of Visual Composer.” If I click on the link in this sentence I get taken to the product licence tab and a big blue button to activate visual composer. If I click on that I get taken to a ” No licence found” window with a big green button to purchase a licence. Do I have to purchase a licence as I thought the plugin came with the theme at no cost?
Would be grateful for some help on these to issues I have.

Hi Mochal and Simion,
I have the exact same problem with v7.8.1. with the new update (last version I had was from Feb) and this one did not have any issues. With version v7.8.1. Open Sans Condensed shows a weird font like Mochal had a screenshot of above. All the other fonts seem to be accurate..
I just did a fresh install and hardly have any plugins installed.. I haven’t modified the header menu, or using child theme. I do have a custom code but that is only to make the social media sharing buttons have white background.
Did you ever figure out of it?
Good afternoon! I am having problems with the TOP HEADER, HEADER (MAIN) AND FOOTER menus. From time to time, every item in the structure of each menu was duplicated. I’ve tried creating new menus and everything is duplicated. I cleared the cache and nothing solved. This problem began to occur after the wordpress version updated yesterday. At the moment I just left the header main menu active so the site did not get the ugly layout.
For example, when I add an item in the TOP HEADER menu structure and I will save it, it automatically adds the items in the HEADER MAIN menu structure.
What can I do to solve this?
Hi,
Please make sure you are uploading just the theme file from the archive you have downloaded, not the whole package – https://forum.tagdiv.com/whats-included/
You can find more information related to installing or updating the theme here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thanks
That does help a lot, Bogdan, and please accept my sincerest apologies, I was referencing the wrong image on my cloud ;-( Hopefully this will make sense now, what I am trying to do is to go from this, which is how the page currently looks on mobile:
http://media.altimac.com.s3.amazonaws.com/images/obits-mobile-A.png
to this:
http://media.altimac.com.s3.amazonaws.com/images/obits-mobile-B.png
so that we can see more than the top of the deceased’s head. It looks like you have given me some clues, though, that I could try either
@media (max-width:767px) {
.category-obituaries .td_module_mob_2 .td-module-thumb {
height: 116px;
}}
Or I could use the API as you noted and do something like
td_api_thumb::update(‘td_???????’,
array(
‘name’ => ‘td_????????’,
‘width’ => 100,
‘height’ => 75,
‘crop’ => array(‘center’, ‘middle’),? ‘none’?
‘post_format_icon_size’ => ‘small’,
‘used_on’ => array(
‘Module 6, 7’, ‘Block 1, 2, 7, 8’
)
)
);
where “td_???????” are the thumbnails that are used in the mobile posts loop page for both the “grid” of the first three listings and then the list of the remainder. I am thinking they are td_324x160 for the grid and td_80x60 for the list of posts following but that is my best guess based on how they look on the mobile theme.
For a custom css simply use the custom css box as it will also keep the code after an update (huge + as any altering of the theme files will be lost when updating)
Unfortunately altering the cropping system cannot be done through css. If you want top change the cropping you will have to go more in depth as this guide shows: https://forum.tagdiv.com/td_api_thumbupdate/ If you want to create new thumbnail, it will need a bit more than a few css lines.
Now referring to the screen you provided, the only difference I see is the grid being a bit narrower than the default. You are very vague in exactly, precisely what you want to do. That is why this topic seems to go on longer than it should. It will be pretty difficult to disable the grid for a specific category due to how the element was created so reducing the height of the grid could be a possible solution but it depends on the names of your authors as if the name will be longer it will exceed the height of the menu item. https://www.screencast.com/t/uHuv6k4cljxq
As you can see when the author name falls on 2 lines, the category tag gets cut off
@media(max-width:767px){
.category-obituaries .td_module_mob_2 .td-module-thumb{
height: 116px;
}}
You can maybe remove the category tag as well:
@media(max-width:767px){
.category-obituaries .td-post-category{
display:none;
}}
I hope this helps.
Hi,
Unfortunately only the latest version is available for download, so you should try to update through the guide provided above. You can always make a backup if you are reluctant to update, in case something should go wrong.
Thanks
Hi,
Please try and switch from your child theme to the main theme, the check to see if the issue is still there. If this does not fix it and you have no custom code that could affect the background, and deactivating the plugins also does not resolve it, you could try and make a new theme install
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-install-via-ftp/
Maybe something has gone wrong during the update process. The background ad is working properly on my end, using the latest version of the theme.
Thanks
Hi,
Please make sure you are uploading the required file containing the theme from the theme package you have downloaded, not the whole package – https://www.screencast.com/t/IYtsmPle
This theme file is located inside the archive if you downloaded the full theme package. You must extract the archive and locate it.
Please use this guide to help you better understand how to install or update the theme
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thanks
Thanks, I have version 7.5, how could I upgrade with autoincrementals updates so I do not have to upload the full version?
regards
If you update to the latest version you will no longer have issues with this if you do not activate the login. If the login is active, then you will have to move to ssl as google requires it. Please make sure you have the latest version of the theme and the login is disabled in the theme panel https://www.screencast.com/t/pM8PNoB1WvC
Thank you!
Hi,
The Visual composer plugin is provided in the theme package, and updated along with the theme updates. There is no need to enter a license code, it is provided pre-activated. The activation messages can be ignored because it does not prevent you from using this editors features. When a new update for Visual composer is available, it will be available as soon as possible in a theme update.
You can find more information about this here

Thanks
Hey,
I’ve checked everything. Before the update it worked with the code that you give me. After the Newsmag update it don’t work (with and without code). I’ve added a link and configure everything as in the tutorial is suggested: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-background-ads/
The ad is the importanst ad for me..
Simon
If you can’t update to latest version of theme where it’s fixed; I think you can simply edit out the secition in the header.php file ?
