Hi.
I just downloaded the 7.8 update and i’ve got a question about the functions.php file in child theme.
It says “Newspaper V6.3+ Child theme” but my current version (before 7.8 update) says “Newspaper 7 Child theme”. And one of the last lines of code seems a bit different. Why and which version should I use ?
Thanks.
Hello,
I understand that you receive a lot of support requests and you probably skim read most postings, however, I have tried very hard to do my due diligence in troubleshooting this problem. I am sending the login credentials for the website.
1) As per my post on March 23 “However, if I create a new post and embed the same Instagram post, the Instagram post and not the URL may appear.” I would expect that your test would display the social media posts. Because if I use the same social media post in a new WordPress post, it displays.
2) You wrote on March 27 “The suggestion to disable the plugins was to double check that that plugins are not causing this, since the links seem to work and display properly on my end.“.
I had already wrote on March 23 “I have disabled all plugins.“. I had also disabled Visual Composer to test for a conflict there.
As you stated on March 27, Visual Composer has no effect on the post page, so your statement on March 24 “ Also please install the Visual composer plugin as it is an essential and required in the proper functionality of the theme” implies the problem might be related to Visual Composer. If that was not your intent, then your statement is completely irrelevant to the problem because as you stated, it has no effect on the post page.
Again, this is a dev version of the website for testing. We are using Visual Composer on the live website but we cannot easily isolate the problem with plugins activated.
3) You state on March 27 “After a search on the internet it seems that other people are having this issue with some of the embeds – https://wordpress.org/support/topic/youtube-embed-not-working-anymore-after-451-update/ and it could be a hosting issue.”
However, I stated on March 23 “Switching to 2016 theme solves the problem instantly.”
How is this a WordPress update issue or a hosting issue if the problem is solved by changing from the Newspaper theme to the 2016 theme? And then the problem re-occurs when switching back to the Newspaper theme? Also, did you read the thread YOU linked? It is for a near isolated incident with WordPress 4.5.1 that was resolved with WordPress 4.5.2. How was that supposed to be beneficial to my scenario considering embed work perfectly fine with the default theme activated?
So, let me restate.
Server software Apache/2.4.25 (Unix) OpenSSL/1.0.2g
PHP Version 7.0.17
post_max_size 50M
max_execution_time 600
max_input_vars 5000
WP version 4.7.3
WP multisite enabled No
WP Language es_ES
WP Memory Limit 512 MB/request
Theme Newspaper
Theme version 7.7.1
Theme database version 7.7.1
Visual Composer 5.1
All required plugins (Visual Composer) are currently active. NO other plugins are active. Three themes are installed. Newspaper, Newspaper Child, and 2016. Newspaper (not Newspaper Child) is the current active theme.
With this setup, some social media embed are not embedding.
Switching to 2016 theme and reloading the same page, all social media embed work properly.
Switching back to Newspaper theme, same social media embeds are not working again. Those same social media embeds will work properly if reposted in a new post.
This information combined with all of the other information provided above should clearly explain the problem. I have completely isolated the problem down to the Newspaper theme. It is possible that the Newspaper theme could have a conflict with the hosting environment, however, I have posted my environment information above and I believe that it meets or exceeds all recommendations. Like I also stated above, I am not receiving any errors or noticies alerting me to any problems.
If you have any questions or suggestions that have not already be answered or attempted, please let me know. I would like to get this resolved as soon as possible as it does impact our readership.
Thank you,
Why i can not update Visual Composer?
Hi,
Depends on what elements you have in the structure of the page, in Visual composer. For example you can stretch a row containing a block like this – https://www.screencast.com/t/6T0CF4cl4 resulting in a full width row. In the latest update there has been added the option to have full width layout on some elements, like the header and footer – https://www.screencast.com/t/hYmPUhejTwa

*/
class td_block_big_grid_5 extends td_block {
const POST_LIMIT = 3;
function render($atts, $content = null){
// for big grids, extract the td_grid_style
extract(shortcode_atts(
array(
‘td_grid_style’ => ‘td-grid-style-1’
), $atts));
$atts[‘limit’] = self::POST_LIMIT;
parent::render($atts); // sets the live atts, $this->atts, $this->block_uid, $this->td_query (it runs the query)
$buffy = ”;
$buffy .= ‘<div class=”‘ . $this->get_block_classes(array($td_grid_style, ‘td-hover-1’)) . ‘” ‘ . $this->get_block_html_atts() . ‘>’;
//get the block css
$buffy .= $this->get_block_css();
$buffy .= ‘<div id=’ . $this->block_uid . ‘ class=”td_block_inner”>’;
$buffy .= $this->inner($this->td_query->posts); //inner content of the block

return $buffy;
}

$post_count = 0;
foreach ($posts as $post) {
$td_module_mx12 = new td_module_mx12($post);
$buffy .= $td_module_mx12->render($post_count);
$post_count++;
}
if ($post_count < self::POST_LIMIT) {
for ($i = $post_count; $i < self::POST_LIMIT; $i++) {
$td_module_mx_empty = new td_module_mx_empty();

}
}
$buffy .= ‘</div>’;
}
return $buffy;
}
}
Thanks in advance !

Hi,
Please install the Visual composer plugin provided in the theme package – https://forum.tagdiv.com/whats-included/ because this is an essential plugin for the functionality of the theme – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thanks
Hi,
Unfortunately the only available post sorting on blocks are the ones mentioned here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/ Additional sorting for the posts in blocks could be added in a future theme update, but I can not say fore sure if and when this will happen.
Maybe you can find a plugin through which you can add this functionality to the block element.
Thanks
Hi,
Hopefully this issue will with the WP Super Cache plugin that happens in some cases, will be fixed in a future plugin update. If you use the mobile theme, please try the method provided in this topic – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/cache-plugin-mobile-version/
Thanks
Hello arslankerim,
Do you are using the child theme? Try to switch the theme to the main theme, clear all your caches and check the results. If your problem is still there nad if the theme updated was been made via FTP method, please provide your website URL so I can take a closer look at it and also, so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
@Vikram Replied in your other post in the topic provided above.
@tagdiv-da-beast I do not know what exactly you are trying to achieve. Please note that the current theme update includes options for full width menu along with other elements – https://www.screencast.com/t/a7CrOuylk
Thanks
Hello InspireORB,
It seems that your Visual Composer is not right installed or also, maybe you do not use the latest version for this plugin. To be safe, try to make a new clean install from scratch via FTP way and install only the plugins from the packet. Also, check your system status parameters to be increased according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
For more information about how you can update the Visual Composer, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
You can simply access your site via ftp and delete the folder. There should be no more old version. Yo uare probably updating the old version by mistake again. It happens a lot. Please use this guide to update your theme and choose the ftp method: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ or if you already deleted the theme folder: https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Thank you!
Please use this guide to update the plugin: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thank you!
Hello,
I will add this to our list for future updates but this request needs to become more popular in order for us to implement it into our theme.
You can disable related videos like described here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/plugin-hide-youtube-related-videos-in-newspaper/
Thank you!
Hi,
I have made some tests using some of the links from your pages – https://www.screencast.com/t/uipxGGdlf1Z – https://www.screencast.com/t/TK5L5zaHa and inserted them in a new post and older posts, but failed to recreate this problem you are having. The suggestion to disable the plugins was to double check that that plugins are not causing this, since the links seem to work and display properly on my end.
Visual composer has no effect on this that is true, but I saw that you do not have it activated and I simply suggested that you activate it. You can choose to not use this plugin if you wish.
After a search on the internet it seems that other people are having this issue with some of the embeds – https://wordpress.org/support/topic/youtube-embed-not-working-anymore-after-451-update/ and it could be a hosting issue.
Please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login information, so we can take a look and try to give you a solution for this. Also paste a link to this topic for identification purposes.
Thank you for understanding!
Hello dr_vibe,
1)Please notice that our theme has a large list of header styles which can be chosen from Theme panel, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/uu2ku7aWYs We have some header styles which uses the logo in full width. For more information about our Header Styles, you should consult our useful guide here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-header-styles/
2)If you are using the using the header styles which uses the logo in full width, you should use a larger size for your site logo for better results. The size for your banner ad is 728*90 px as you can see in our documentation.
3)If you want to have the latest version of Visual Composer, tested with our theme, yo should download the latest theme packet from Theme Forest because the Visual Composer come bundled with the theme core packet and you must not buy any license for this plugin. For more information about how you can update your Visual Composer, please consult our useful guide here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
After updating, the writings seem to be centered like this. Right click close, copy-paste closed. Could you help? (I do not know english)
Hello,
I purchased NewsPaper 7 three times. I like this template very much
I have encountered trouble now.
This is the new NewsPaper 7 issue, which is creating a post.
Insert a line in the text in a certain part, or insert a line feed.
Next, make corrections to other parts and check the preview screen.
Then, for some reason, the place that changed first is returned to original.
This is not only a text phenomenon.
For example:
I used Visual Composer and created several text blocks.
Next, fix or add another part.
Then preview or save.
Next, check the update screen.
Then, for some reason, the final corrected part will be reflected normally, but the part that was modified first will either return to its original state or will disappear completely.
– –
I have experienced this phenomenon for the first time in NewsPaper 7’s third use. That was not the second template.
Is there such a change in specification in the latest update?
My guess is, apparently, one of the causes of this problem.
It looks as though Adsense Manager is causing it.
Because Adsense Manager tag. (Simple tag)
Once it is deleted, it will be recovered.
I am very embarrassed by this mysterious phenomenon.
Advice please.

I hope the next update of newspaper gave no feature restrictions on the number that appears in the author box, sort by total readers post that has been made. thanks.
Hello,

2. What size should logo be and if yes on banner, what size should the banner be please?
3. I am trying to update the WPBakery Visual Composer plugin. I have version Version 4.12.1 installed. I am been asked to update the plugin to version 5.0.1 ($34 cost) Do I need to do this?
I look forward to your response at your earliest convenience.

As per your request (although I still do not know what benefit it provides) I have re-activated Visual Composer 5.1. I should also note that this problem existed prior to the latest update with version 4.10.
