My website cache is not clearing in new theme (newspaper). I did some CSS updates, post content and even new posts are not updating in home page. here is my site: http://mashtips.com
Any suggestion that I can try? This issue started after switching to this new theme? Anything I’m missing in configuration?
Was this on a new update? Mine says this LOGO UPLOAD Upload your logo (272 x 90px) .png or .jpg?? And my full size image did not show up.
Thanks
Hola! Would you like to receive automatic updates and unlock premium support? Please activate your copy of Visual Composer.
for that you have to install the themeforest kit – but I’m not very informed about it
you can simply update the theme using FTP
faster and simpler
Hi
I’m using too a child theme
in that case you simply have to update the files in the directory newsmag on your server
using child theme is a good solution because you can update the theme’s files without affect the child theme files
Hi to everyone,

Theme is updated and I have not install any new plugin. May you help me?

Update to help others:
I tried everything. Reinstalling, switching themes, deleting folders manually, uploading manually. Switching from SSL to non-SSL. Eventually, this worked.
Added this to wp-config:
define(‘FS_METHOD’,’direct’);
AND, disabled Rocketloader on Cloudflare.
I am getting the following fatal error for my Blubrry Powerpress plugin after updating to the latest version of Newspaper:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_list_encodings() in /home/name/public_html/wp-includes/SimplePie/Misc.php on line 356
Any help is appreciated.
hi
You have provide instructions for update via WP (quote below).
However, currently the active theme is Newsmag Child, so your instructions don’t make sense, as “newsmag theme” is not active anyway. Please provide instructions with active child for upgrade.
Step 1 – Deactivate the current “Newsmag” theme from the Appearance > Themes section by simply activating a different theme. Once you activate a different theme, delete the Newsmag theme. Don’t worry, your content will not be lost.
Step 2 – Get the “Newsmag.zip” file from your new Themeforest download (Installable WordPress file only). If you downloaded the “All Files & Documentation” from Themeforest, then you need to unzip the archive file you received, the Newsmag.zip will be inside it.
Step 3 – Go to Appearance > Themes, choose Add New Theme, Upload the “Newsmag.zip” and click on the “Install Now” button.
Step 4 – After your upload is finished, choose Activate the theme.
Step 5 – Update the plugins. The theme required and recommended plugins are included in the theme package inside the ../Newsmag-tf/plugins folder.
Hi all,
Just a head’s up that when I updated the plugin “Google Analyticator” it caused the Sidebars in my Newspaper site to go missing in the Widgets admin area. Note that this error does NOT impact the user’s experience – the sidebars are still there to website visitors. This error is in the WordPress widget admin area, the sidebars are just, well, gone.
This plugin issue also apparently seems to be causing some other minor issues with navigation menus not displaying on mouseover in the Admin interface. Disabling “Google Analyticator” caused Newspaper widgets and sidebars to all work fine. So if you suddenly find your sidebars are missing in your Widgets admin area, check if you’re using Google Analyticator and if so disable it, your sidebars should reappear in the Widget area.
Well it worked for awhile and now it is no longer working either. Will update if i can find a plugin that will work.
Hello, I updated the theme using the Envato Widget. I then deleted the old theme’s files.
Something went wrong and pages just don’t display as they should.

Help!
Thank you so much. I hope to see it fixed in the coming updates.
Hello dirtymedia,
The visual composer activation message appears on all sites that use visual composer, not matter the theme or domain. In our case, you must ignore this message as the Visual Composer does not require activation when it’s provided in the theme package. The plugin authors cannot verify this though so they could not remove the message to this particular case. Please read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
All the theme installing should have to be done via FTP because this is the surest and safe method in this regard. For more information about this, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello techpaced,
Further after deeper investigations, I notice that this issue appears on your demo. I have added this to our list of improvements and we will try fixing it in future updates. Please notice that this remark does not influence your page speed. This is only a penalty from Google because our buttons on mobile are too short.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
What I want is that I can choose the category for each post of those published in a module big grid. For example, if I choose the big grid 1 module that shows 5 posts (1 big on the left and 4 small on the right) I would like to be able to configure it so that in the big box on the left a post comes out of a particular category (For example: sports). Also, in the first small box (of the 4 on the right) you can choose to leave posts from another category (for example: society) and so on for each big grid box.
This can be done?
If it can not be done, can you implement it for an upcoming update or can you tell me which files and code would need to be modified?
Thank you very much
How do I get the mobile theme to update? I have made changes to the footer at the link you provided and it looks fine on the desktop but nothing changes on the mobile version.
hi thank you, i mean introduction before first slide! there is no planification to add it in your futur updates?

Hi,
After an update (we believe) the quotes are not appearing correctly anymore:

Also, on the backend:

Would you have an idea why this is happening?
Thanks!
Nope.
As I said in the reply …
Don’t go by the “last updated” box on right side of TF page as that is just when the info was updated, not necessarily the actual theme.
(TF = “ThemeForest”)
If you download the theme, and it’s not been updated, then there is no new update, right ?
But I don’t work here.
Good luck!
Last Update 25 November
5.0 update when will come
Thank you for the response.
I have made sure to update the settings and I am using version 4.12.1. I cleared my history/cache/cookies/etc. as well and nothing has helped.
Thanks.
Hi,
Here is a simplified way of adding a ‘share by email’ icon. It works for us, but you must update one theme file after each theme update. (won’t work by adding in child theme)
This method simply calls on the default mail client to open on a desktop, and does not use WP to actually send the email, which we did not want anyway, to avoid any spamming.
File: ../themes/Newspaper/includes/modules/td_module_single.php
I added this line after ‘Pinterest’ link and before ‘Whatsapp’:
EDIT: PHP code was sanitized on this post, so here is the screenshot of it:

And here is the CSS:
/* SOCIAL SHARING - EMAIL ICON */
.td-social-email {
background-color: #00aeef;
margin-left: 10px;
padding-left: 11px;
}
.td-icon-mail::before {
content: '\e810'; /* or '\e820' */
font-size: 19px;
}
Enjoy 🙂
