Hello,
The theme code has been changed a lot with newer updates and the implementation method for another custom ad is different. Now, you should edit only the td_config.php and have to register your new custom ad code in two places, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/drqt26uCI
Thanks!
Hello,
You should update the theme to the latest version: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
The you should make sure you meet the requirements for newspaper: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ and increase your system status parameters like so: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/

Hello soithong,
Make sure if you are suing the latest version of the theme and only the version of Visual Composer which come bundled with the theme packet. I recommend you doing a new clean install from scratch and install only required plugins, clear all your caches and check the results. You should update the theme and the plugins only via FTP because this is the surest method in this regard in order to bring best results. For more information in this regard, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-install-via-ftp/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Notice that the Visual Composer is fully tested and compatible with the theme and until now we do not have any bad reports in this regard.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the message!
Well if your sidebars do not work when you activate the smart sidebar it means that something is wrong and needs troubleshooting. Unfortunately without removing the plugins there is no way to troubleshoot anything. Sorry.
We only recommend these plugins: http://screencast.com/t/9fgiQW3V94rx and sometimes even these ones can provide errors. Plugins get updated, wordpress gets updated, the theme gets updated, sometimes the code does not match between them. If your plugin updates are set to automatic or you just update them all manually, you could experience issues without disabling or adding new plugins at all. Sometimes updates make the plugins not work anymore. Plugins can conflict between them as well, not just with the theme. Plugins are very unstable and we do not recommend using a whole bunch of them together.
Thank you!
Hello seban,
This behavior happens due that I suppose you have not installed properly the theme. First of all, before each update, you should make a full backup to save all your data. Then you have to remove your old theme and replace it with the newest one. This process should have been done only via FTP because this is the surest method in this regard, in order to bring the best results. Install only the plugins which come bundled with the theme and rule out any conflicting between theme core and some untested plugins. For more information regarding on FTP installing way, please consult the theme documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!

Hello,
I have updated theme but now I got error blank page when I activated js_composer.
And I got error log like this
[10-Nov-2016 04:43:40 UTC] PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘/home/muanxgxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/include/classes/settings/class-vc-settings.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/muanxgxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/js_composer.php on line 764
Please advise how to fix?
Thank you very much.

— An update – I found some postview leakage.
During a parallel investigation of why the views are generally lower while they used to be really high before the redesign, and google analytics even showing more that the ajax view counter, I realized one unpredicted case that causes views to disappear.
So my client has a method of writing an article: He begins it, publishing it for the people to see that something is happening, then keeps updating it with all details as they happen. The strange thing, was that he got a comment that the post views one moment were 80, the other moment were a mere 30 on a certain article.
It got me thinking. And I found the culprit: That custom field in Editing mode, doesn’t get Ajax updates as they happen. So when the client updates the article, he unknowingly updates it to the number of views it had when he first clicked to edit it.
I’m reporting it just in case you are interested in doing something about it, And maybe it solves another fellow’s wondering as to why their pageviews get lost.
Hello, congratulations for the job!
I am an advanced user and know the PHP programming; I need to create (and add) a new module for my child theme, but I noticed that the theme API does not work with child theme and I can not modify the existing one because it is already used in other pages.
If you do that by changing the main theme (by editing the file td_config.php and the inclusion of related files), to lose future update changes, or I’ll have to rewrite them and it’s not good.
You have a solution?
Thank you.

Hey guys how add new custom ad in Newspaper Theme after update 7.5
Any advice? I’m considering just performing a rollback and re installation of the updates mentioned above but I wanted clarification if you believe updating the theme is the best route.
Hello,
Our site has recently become 5x slower as of 3 days ago and our domain support helped us target down the potential culprits. Our most recent ticket said the following:
From what we can see, the CSS and JS files of your application are causing the slow loading:
# http://some1spc.com/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/assets/css/woocommerce-layout.css
# http://some1spc.com/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/assets/css/woocommerce.css
# http://some1spc.com/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/css/styles.css
# http://some1spc.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/css/buddypress.min.css
# http://some1spc.com/wp-includes/js/wp-embed.min.js
Additionally, these files are loading for 9 seconds each. Considering this, please contact the developer of the theme that you are using as this issue is not server related and we would be unable to assist you further.
Would updating the theme to the latest patch help us relieve this issue? We’ve already updated the plugins as they were recently released for woocommerce and buddypress.
Thanks!
Hello,
I have a problem with theme panel. My theme version is 1.5 and I try to update to 3, but each time I have a lot of errors.
I use FTP to update the theme and updated all my plugins before.
Errors: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26399544/ez2.png
I also can’t use my theme panel with the version 1.5. It worked before and now I can’t even save changes.
Can you help me please?
Thank you.
Hi,
I have successfully solved this issue with previous version of Newspaper and it was working well with Cloudflare even on mobile theme for my site www dot tomatoheart dot com . But with the recent update, I again started facing issues when cloudflare is on
If CloudFlare is under development mode or off, Everything works fine. I saw regular homepage on desktop and expected mobile theme based homepage on mobile ( it looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/XMXRHeG.jpg)
but when I enable the Cloudflare, mobile theme plugin for homepage stops working, and it starts showing the responsive mobile version of the desktop theme ( like this: https://i.imgur.com/hthWfRd.jpg )
Ironically, there is no issue on any other pages or posts except the homepage. I tried various settings under CloudFlare like disabling CSS minification or disabling Rocket loader, but nothing is working.
PS: I have just cleared all the cache. So, you might be getting the expected mobile version on mobile ( https://i.imgur.com/XMXRHeG.jpg) but wait for sometime and this issue will arise again on homepage.
Please help. Thank you.
Hi Bogdan.
This is not what I asked. In case you missed it:
Manually updating post views by hand won’t work – the website has a lot of traffic already and 20-30 new articles each day.
That’s about 800-900 new articles a month!
I know how to update views manually of course but that’s not the point… The point is to do it algorithmically, for all posts, past, present and future, without my further involvement and without anyone having to keep track and waste their time doing such a thing.
Also I don’t want to add a few hundred views on a few posts. Visitors should get a consistent and gradual image of pageviews any time of the day.
So, if you happen to have any idea how to cook pageviews on the front end -and only in the front end, we don’t want to harm the data in the database-, please share..
Hi,
The issue you are facing happens because you did not update the social counter plugin. Please disable and delete the plugin files from the wordpress plugins section and then install the correct version from the theme plugins section here: http://screencast.com/t/ge2rqHSnU (you cannot delete the plugin from the theme section, please delete the plugin before installing it from here)
Thank you!
Hello,
You can ignore the activation message. You do not have to activate your 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 the 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
Please provide a link to your site so we can inspect it
Thank you!
I updated to latest version and changed my post content font to Alegreya Sans from theme panel >> Theme fonts >> Post Content but it is still showing the default font.
Hello capitano83,
Please ensure that you have updated your social counter with the latest version of it which come bundled with the theme packet. Clear all your caches and check the results. Notice that the Social Counter is fully tested with Newsmag 3.2 and everything seems to work as properly.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the message!

Hi There,
I have two questions:
1. in the blog section under the headings I would like to add the LinkedIn icon and remove the Pinterest icon. How can I do that? I’ve already updated the social media options that I want in the Theme Panel-Social Networks section but those are not reflected here.
2. Are there any plans to expand tagDiv social counter to include LinkedIn. If we can already – how do we do that?
Thanks
Hello.
I got a strange request from my client. He asked me to tamper with the post views in order to “keep the counted pageviews in the database, but augment the numbers the visitors see”.
Apparently his major competitors either tamper with their pageview numbers, or are heard of having created bots crawling their pages every few minutes – so that local shop owners see high numbers in pageviews and pay for advertising in their websites. And as long as everyone does it, ‘we gotta keep up with the competition’, he says. Although I personally wouldn’t go down this road, he is the boss..
So, how could I possibly perform this task?
Manually updating post views by hand won’t work – the website has a lot of traffic already and 20-30 new articles each day. I even need to have caching mechanisms to keep the site up, so I’m using the AJAX counter. I need to do this algorithmically.
I tried manipulating some files eg. the ../includes/wp-booster/td_module_single_base.php, to display a mathematically reapproached number of pageviews.
Specifically, I changed the line:
$buffy .= '<span class="td-nr-views-' . $this->post->ID . '">' . td_page_views::get_page_views($this->post->ID) .'</span>';
into the line:
$buffy .= '<span class="td-nr-views-' . $this->post->ID . '">' . floor((td_page_views::get_page_views($this->post->ID))*1.5) .'</span>';
But little did I know that this approach wouldn’t really work. Ajax counter restored the original hits plus one on each impression.
So I updated the td_ajax.php file, on that same folder. In the last function that gets the views count, I changed:
$buffy[$post_id] = td_page_views::get_page_views($post_id);
into
$buffy[$post_id] = floor(td_page_views::get_page_views($post_id)*1.5);
Do I need to spell d i s a s t e r ? 😛 With each impression of the page, the total views were multiplied by 1.5! Thankfully the experiment was contained.
So now I am out of options and I’d love to know if you have any ideas on the matter. I know that providing the final solution to this headache is probably out of scope in this forum (unless ofc there is an easy and obvious one that I can’t see), but mere suggestions that I could pursue on my own, would really really help.
Thanks for reading my long question!

Hello Sir,
after having updated theme to latest verison, now i frequently see the visual composer activate your copy notice keep poping up at top of my posts.
Isnt it with the theme so why it keeps showing up ?
Before updating from version 4 to 7, I downloaded theme files, but forgot to save all customizations from the field Custom CSS. So they are all gone. Any ideas where I can extract it from, please? I would really appreciate the advice.
