(sigh)
see the docs and the “how to update” sticky post top of the forum index.

You only get the new version of the plugin when the THEME is updated, as it’a a “bundled” version and has to be tested to ensure it doesn’t break things.

So, no reason to get the latest version just because it’s the latest version, unless there is a major security fix.

Upshot – don’t panic! 🙂

Hi there,

After I updated my theme to version 7.3 I realized that the comment count, the author name and the post date are now being shown, but i don’t want them to be shown as I have disabled these options as you can see on the links below. Any idea how can i fix this?

There’s a new update available for Visual Composer as of today. How would I go about downloading? The latest version of Newspaper doesn’t have this version of VC.

You don’t need license code. Ignore the ‘nag’ screen box from Visual Composer.

Hey party people!

Remember that the gzip/deflate settings on both web server and in htaccess (remember that settings for my stuff is based on Apache servers; needs to be different for NGINX boxes, which are becoming more and more common) are good for 20 points or more alone. That is always first thing you need to address. This is what the server compresses before it sends something to the web browser. It’s mission critical, step one.

For example first item in your GTMetrix test:

Enable compression for the following resources to reduce their transfer size by 424.8KiB (79% reduction).

Also for image compression; re checking any image that can be compressed more than 2KB is good idea as it adds up on image heavy layouts;
eg.
Optimize the following images to reduce their size by 31.8KiB (5% reduction).

Generally you can kind of ignore stuff that says optimize by 322bytes as that is 1/3 of a kb. Unless you want to really go nuts on optimization score (I leave that stuff to last myself).

ALSO; to stop yourself from waking up in the middle of night screaming (oh wait, that’s me), test one of your post pages and not your home page; the home page will always initially have worst score due to so many images being loaded. An “average” post page, is best to tune with as that is 90% of your site traffic and what Google is focused on.

And as an anecdote; my original thread on the optimization was actually for the 2014/15 versions of Newspaper, then I switched to Newsmag when it first came out as it better fit my news portals which get updated daily.

Stuff for htaccess and functions.php are “generally” going to be same between the two themes.

So, I’d tackle the gzip/deflate thing first – as that is your biggest gotcha right now.

hi,

this is the ceopde you need to change in wp super cache for it to work prioperly:
https://github.com/Automattic/wp-super-cache/issues/132
http://screencast.com/t/YLN48vYD0r9
For the moment it is the only solution we can come up with until they update their plugin

Thank you!

I took all the steps you have asked me for. I updated the theme to the latest version as well as plugins. However issues still continue:

1- Turkish characters cannot be displayed: https://bizarreturkey.com/arrest-warrant-issued-ex-football-star-coup-attempt/

2- Some punctuation marks like apostrophe cannot be displayed. One example is: https://bizarreturkey.com/director-national-education-fire-atheist-communist-teachers/

3- When I try to edit posts, some of them shows empty content although users see content. Like this one: https://bizarreturkey.com/farmers-perform-funeral-ceremony-grape/

Could you please fix these issues asap? I am really losing a lot of time.

Hello AdamAL,

Please notice that all of your content which you have added it to your website will be loaded in your database. Also, notice that you can export/import the Theme panel settings from your Theme panel, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/r3W9cn5X02j and for more information about this process you can check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-export-theme-settings/ We recommend that for each major change or moved to another website or major update, please make a full backup to your data, according to this documentation here -> https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups Also, please notice that another good way in this regard is to use the Child Theme if you want to make some custom modifications through code. For more information about this feature, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/

Hope this helps!

Thanks.

Hello,
You should also update the plugins after you install the new version of the theme so you can go ahead and delete the plugins from the wp plugins section. hit deactivate then delete: http://screencast.com/t/g9mOxxPDtx
As for the theme update. simply delete the newspaper folder. and then copy over the new one. it’s safer than renaming it. Delete the old and upload the new.
Thank you!

In addition to my question above about renaming the newspaper folder, I have one more question.

Wordpress says: The TagDiv Mobile Theme is not supported by the current activated theme. Please update your theme!
File message: /home/bizarret/public_html/wp-content/plugins/td-mobile-plugin/td-mobile-plugin.php

Should I delete tagdiv plugins (mobile and social counter) before installing the latest version of Newspaper theme?

Hello,
Please read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
you cannot update the plugin unless we provide the update along with the theme. We will update visual composer in the next theme update.
Thank you!

Hello,
You could try to create a testing platform for such errors. Create a sub-domain and a fresh install of wp and the theme and test there to see if the error is still present. We have not encountered such issue before so i assume it’s some sort of a redirect issue. Try to restore the theme to it;s default code after you make a back-up of course and remove any modifications made to the theme and disable all plugins.
if you still cannot get it to work please contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can login and investigate this issue.
Thank you!

Update: I see my colegue already replied via email and provided a few suggestions. please follow them and create a fresh install as I also suggested. And then try to remove modifications afetr backing up to get the theme as close to default as possible.

Hi Chris and @TagDiv Team,

I have been reading Chris’s custom optimizations for functions.php etc tutorial many times and today. I thought to make use of it for my website based on NewsPaper theme.

The sticky post by Chris is meant for NewsMag theme and I have no idea how compatible it is with Newspaper theme. Still I tried the most updated version of his optimisation code with name “/** CUSTOM OPTIM CODE : by Christopher Simmons – REV 8.17.16 */ ” using guidance written under this sticky thread

Here is the full code that I used is here Pastebin link

I also tried “slim version for newspaper them: june 2015” pastebin code here

along with one of above written codes ( not both at the same time)

I also added following things under HTACESS ( my htaccess file is here ), optimise my Database filesusing WP-optimise and WP-Sweep and have optimised my style.CSS using online minifaction tool suggested by Chris.

After trying all these things, though I felt that the backend and front of my site is comparably fast , but no considerable change in Page speed score or GTMatrix score.

Before all these customisation and optimization techniques:( Note: I have disabled all other caching plugins and CloudFlare since last few days to work on live raw site )

GTMATRiX Test Link: Click this

Pagespeed Test Link: Click this
PAGESPPED SCORE: MOBILE: 42 DESKTOP: 48
GTMATRIX SCORE: PAGESPEED SCORE: 56 YSLOW SCORE: 52

After making all these changes: ( Note: I have disabled all other cachine plugins and cloudflare since last few days to work on live raw site )

PAGESPEED SCORE: MOBILE: 42 DESKTOP: 50
GTMATRIX SCORE: PAGESPEED SCORE: 58 YSLOW SCORE: 56

So, the change in very minimal. Previosuly with WP Super cache and cloudflare, my GTmatrix scode used to be 95+gh under various threads here, many users have experienced 98+ pagespeed score after using Chris Techniques.

What am I doing wrong? Does Chris’s codes not support or work for Newspaper theme? Should I finally use slim mini newspaper version or the newsmag theme one ?

Is there any such thread for the NewsPaper theme?

Please help me to get answers for all these issues.

Thank you.

WordPress just told me that “there is a new version of WPBakery Visual Composer available (version 4.12.1)”.

My question is that is this version of VC compatible with the current version of Newpaper(7.3)?

Should I update this plugin?

Thanks

Hello Catalin,

thank you for the reply.
The WordPress Social plugin that was discussed and solved by Lucian here: was also neither tested nor recommended by Tagdiv but your amazing team and the community still helped the thread creator to solve it and make it work.

So, you or any other concerend team support team member may want to solve it again with reference to the current theme. It was also told that in future you are going to integrate social login plugin in future updates. You must be agreeing to the need of social plugin in today’s time. Should we expect it soon?

About the https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/web/login-button , this button is very small and won’t look good as per themes UI but if you will look at the solution provided by Lucian in the past thread, he made it look as intergated and amazing as it should be. ( here is the link : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzax_bFhmTjZeXR0enlOT01OR00/view )

Try to help me else it’s toally fine 🙂

Thank you.

Hello,

Our theme uses fixed thumbnails and there is no easy way of changing them. if you want to tackle this task you need to use the theme api and edit the size for each thumb: https://forum.tagdiv.com/td_api_thumbupdate/ Coding skills will be required for this and you have to edit the ss for the modules as well for positioning.

You can control the excerpt on every module in particular from the theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/S21NuYxz0v

The third request is very tricky to do as our css is indeed a it large (not as large as a multi-purpose theme though I have seen css of over 1+mb on those themes) I cannot rpovide any safe way of editing the style.css file and to remove any classes you do not use. most of theme are needed but you can edit out a few safe parts that you will probably not use. for example you can delete any plugins related code such as woocommerce or bbpress if you do not plan on using them. But you have to be careful as there are lots of css rules that apply to common elements so you might delete something you actually need by mistake. http://screencast.com/t/MwMFt5BZ
So you really need to know what you are doing before deleting any theme code as you may break the layout otherwise.

Thank you!

Thanks. Will taking those steps make me lose any data or changes in the site? Because I will have to deactivate visual composer and the theme to update them.

Please try one more thing.
I see you use version 7.2 of newspaper. We only tested 7.3 so please update your theme to the latest version by following this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and make sure you up-date visual composer as well: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Let us know how it goes
Thanks

Hello grharis,

The latest version of the theme is Newspaper 7.3 and the latest version of the plugins are 4.1 for Social Counter and 4.12 for Visual Composer and not 4.6… please update your Visual Composer! Also, please notice that all of these updates should have to be made via FTP because this is the surest method in this regard. For more information, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/

Thanks.

Hi Bogdan,
I have already setup the get-header related soultion provided by your and Andrei. I haven’t expereinced nor been reported by any of my authors for any such new errors but even before, it used to appear only few times. Let’s see if gets solved.

and yes, based on https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ , my hosting system is 2 times more capable than the recommended requirment set written there. My memory limit set to 128MB by hosting provider based on my request and it’s google cloud based capable managed WP hosting service.

Do you think in any possible way the “get header” issue can cause “fatar error” too ? just asking.

I will keep you updated if I will get reported again about this.
