Hi I have this theme installed on various sites. In general all works great.
On one of the sites I have this strange problem. The “Visual Editor” is unworkable. It appears as if the text is all white so it blends in with the background (in the visual editor).. if I select all the text.. as in “copy and paste”. I can see that the text is there. So some strange thing that happen with Visual Composer.. I tried removing the plugin and installed the latest version for the theme (5.0.1) I also updated the theme to latest 7.6.1 but I still have this strange thing happen with visual composer.
Any tips?
Hello serfarecom,
Please ensure that your system status is correct setup according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ Also, make sure that you are using the latest version of Visual Composer which come bundled with the theme packet. For more information about this, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the message!
Hello Ylli,
Please try to delete it and install it again from the theme packet files. You should install the Visual Composer plugin which comes bundled with the theme packet. Remove the old version of this plugin and install the right one via FTP. For more information about how you can install the Visual Composer, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/ Clear all your caches, purge CDN files and check the results. Also, check your system status and also, setup it according to our guide here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
Please note that like it is specified above by Edward you do not need to activate Visual composer and do not worry in this regard, it is already activated and you can use it without any restrictions. You do not have to worry about the plugin update warnings. If you have any other issues regarding Visual Composer please provide more information about the nature of this problem.
Thanks
Hi,
@Mayapur Voice I guess your site was fully optimized. Which are google’s notifications that affect your speed.
Please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide more details and your site url. What is interesting that we did not made and code changes in latest version 7.6.1 beside the login reported issue regarding browser not secure, no other changes.
@AdamAL Replied to your topic. Your site is not optimized.
@noonoo1 You can make a full backup before the update and see how it goes using the latest theme version – https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups Like I said above 7.6.1 release was just a fix for sign in widget reported not secure error and nothing else.
Thanks!
Hi,
You do not need to buy or activate the Visual composer plugin because the theme includes an activated license for it. It will be updated along with the theme and included in the plugins folder, also do not worry about Visual composer update warnings. Please follow these tutorials about using Visual composer editor to create a homepage and setting it as a static page – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/ or if you want to have a blog style where all your posts are displayed on the front page, you can change the template for the articles in Theme panel->Template settings->Blog and posts template – https://www.screencast.com/t/joEKmSMkkY0
Thanks
Hello,
I will add this as a suggestion for future updates.
Unfortunately I cannot provide any solution via the theme support as time does not allow us to provide any custom work. Sorry

Hello Ramesh,
Do you update the theme to 3.3.1 version? If you have not do it you should do it now because in the latest version of the theme, was introduced the option to disable logging section. Please notice that since now, if you will have a log-in on your website and if you do not have the https you will see the no-secure message. You should have the https. For more references about this regard, you should read the following information posted by Google, like this -> http://www.pcworld.com/article/3118164/security/google-chrome-to-start-marking-http-connections-as-insecure.html
Thanks for your understanding!

Hello,
Having made some changes to the code, I would like to create a child theme for not encounter any difficulties in the theme updates.
I can do so using the plugins Child Theme Configurator, or advise me to do it manually?
Thanks
I noticed it again when we updated from Newsmag 1.7 to 3.1 last Fall and forgot to “move” the “category” links to bottom above the tags. Suddenly we had “National news” in front of headlines, and couple of breadcrumbs as the title in Google News. Really dumb since they have a news XML sitemap, validated in search console. Kind of like how you can have two photos on page, make second one the one in your news sitemap (e.g., featured), and yet often the FIRST photo will still show up in google news.
After 12 years in Google News, I learn to “work around” the dumbness sometimes.
Thank you for the code. Please consider adding more share options and ability to adjust order in the next update!
Hi,
I don’t know what’s wrong with Newsmag theme now-a-days. The Comment form automatically receives HTTP post transaction when the page loaded. And due to this, I recently got an email from Google Search Console that reads, “Nonsecure Collection of Passwords will trigger warnings in Chrome 56 for http://www.inferse.com/” along with a few URLs.
FYI, the website doesn’t accept any kind of payment. Even a recent update fixes such issue with login model dialog box.
Please look at the matter and suggest.

Hello Sebastiaan,
The best way to go about this is to create a back-up first.
Thyen simply delete the old theme and install the latest version directly as a new theme. The differences between the 2 are way too many. It will be as switching to a whole new theme. We have tried to maintain compatibility between the theme elements though so you can run the update script for newspaper 4 from here: https://www.screencast.com/t/084XLAKU (this is done after you install the new theme)
Unfortuantely you will have to remove a few elements and replace them with current elements as some will not be available anymore in the current version.
Pages are the ones that require attention the most. Posts will have a changed post style because the old post styles are not available anymore.
Thank you!
Hello Andrea,
First of all, please update the theme to the latest version of it via FTP according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/ clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme packet and rule out any conflicting plugins. I have tested on my side and the Twitter share button seems to work as properly.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi there,
Today I was updating all my websites and I noticed a website that hasn’t received an update in quite some time. It is running Newspaper Version: 4.6.3 on WordPress 4.5.4.
How do you suggest I proceed? I guess I can update to v5>v6>v7, but I am not sure I kept all the required files (and themeforest only let’s you download the latest version). Alternatively I could remove the theme completely and install v7 over the current post database. But not sure if I can then import my stylings settings thereafter.
regards
Sebastiaan
Hi
Yes we know we can do it this way but we have about 750 old articles and want to be able to set the sidebar in the category template theme options so it applies it to all. When we set it in theme options it gives us the right sidebar but does not show the content from the widget. This has only happened since we updated to the new version of the theme. Any ideas on what could be causing this as going through easy article individually is not an option.
Cheers
Jon
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
The theme includes a license for this plugin so you don’t have to buy it.
You don’t have to activate the plugin license, it’s already activated.
You can’t update Visual Composer directly from it’s producer.
You don’t have to worry about the plugin update warnings.
We provide updates on a regular basis, after we test the plugin for theme compatibility we include it in the latest theme update, inside the ../plugins folder
Unfortunately plugin updates can cause issues. If the plugin is not on the list of tested and recommended plugins, then there is a risk of it becoming incompatible on each update (theme or plugins update)
We adjust the theme for each plugins we mark as tested and recommended. We make the proper adjustments on each theme update so the compatibility is kept with these plugins.
Thank you!
Hello markangus,
I have checked your website and I did not saw any problems with your content on your Homepage. It seems to work as properly, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/0AAut1Cl You have to update your theme via FTP way because this is the surest method in this regard according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-install-via-ftp/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi Catalin,
Thank you for your fast reply and information.
I have new versions of all software:
WP= 4.7.2 (New installation two days ago)
NewsMag= 3.3.1 (Purchased, downloaded and installed two days ago)
I have also updated the system configuration to match your specs, unless my host’s specs were higher:
max_execution_time= 60
max_input_vars= 5000
WP Memory Limit= 64MB/request
I have flushed the WP cache and let WP PHP read the new .ini configuration file.
The problem is not fixed. I cannot access the text in the fields. Not editable. Unlike yours, the text also appears grey, which is making me think the fields are locked. Other fields I edited on that page have black text.
What are the next steps?
Thank you,
Michael
Hi,
how can we disable the meta author name for Facebook link sharing with the new theme update? A couple weeks ago I’ve been told.
“Try to comment the author meta line inside Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_wp_booster_functions.php – http://screencast.com/t/Uyy9AS74ULZR”
But it doesn’t seem to work with the latest update.
I added two // on line 577 of my td_wp_booster_functions.php
//echo ’<meta name=”author” content=”’.$td_post_author.’”>’.”\n”;
After I cleared cloudflare/wp cache and debugged my links with the facebook sharing debug tool multiple times. But the author tag is still there.
I tried the previously provided steps that worked with the theme version ~4 weeks ago three times carefully, but no results.
Kind regards!
