Search Results for 'update'

Thanks to everybody for the discussion. Special thanks for Andrei for the instruction how to switch of animation in Opera!

I very well understand how difficult it is to make any theme compatible with variety of browsers, especially when they are built on different technologies. I am sure, Andrei, that all your customers (including me) have the latest versions of browsers. But we are people who build sites, not that who look them 🙂 And we do not have power to force our users for incessant update towards latest versions of browsers. Especially when some of them do not understand what browser is 🙂 I would close my eyes on any minor incompatibility issues (like pictures are not on the place, slider is now working etc.), but I can’t do it when users can’t see the site at all! When people call you and say “I can’t see your site anymore. What happened?”, you have to find the solution.

Of course, I could think of some hack how to fix this behavior. But you know the theme code from A to Z. And I am sure that your solution is much better than any I could suggest myself.

I got used to the fact that Newspaper support us really one of the best at the market. That is why it was very strange for me to get the response like “this is not our problem”. I wish for Newspaper to remain the world best theme with the world best support 🙂

Kind regards,
Dmitry Sandakov

Hi

@Sandman we’re sorry for this inconveniences.
We always test the theme with latest version of each specified browser because we assume that is most stable and with the security updates made. Most of our customers use updated versions for browsers which give a safer navigation on the web and we focus our attention to make the theme compatible with nowadays versions.
The only exception is IE. We still test the theme with older version of IE because is still quite popular.
However using an old version of any browser involve some risks as @Chris pointed above and some modern features may be incompatible with it.

A possible solution for this bug would be to remove the animation for Opera browser. Like that browser will not have to handle that animation. To remove the animation edit td_js_generator.php file and add this code here: http://screencast.com/t/5L76KylJ

if ( navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Opera') >= 0 ) {
htmlTag.className += ' td-md-is-opera-9';
}

Also you’ll need this css in theme panel > custom code> custom css:

.td-md-is-opera-9 .td-menu-background,
.td-md-is-opera-9 #td-mobile-nav {
left: -100%;
}
.td-md-is-opera-9 .td-menu-mob-open-menu .td-menu-background,
.td-md-is-opera-9 .td-menu-mob-open-menu #td-mobile-nav {
left: 0;
}
.td-md-is-opera-9 .td-search-opened .td-search-background {
right: 0;
}
.td-md-is-opera-9 .td-search-background {
right: 100%;
}

Thanks!

HI

We do recommend to use the child theme but it must be updated and compatible with the main theme’s version used. We don’t change the child theme very often but once in a while that is’s also updated. Try to update the child theme to the version included in theme’s path, re-add your customizations and also check them to be compatible with V 7.2 of main theme, then test the site again.

Thanks!

Hi

I assume that you want to display in blocks last edited/updated posts. Unfortunately the theme does not have a filter which sort posts by modified date, sorry.
If this is not what you mean please provide more detail about what you’re trying to do so I can inspect it closer and get back to you with a more accurate answer.

Thanks!

There is one thing again. Why in the latest update of newspaper has the oldest version of Visual Composer (4.12)? How to get the latest version of Visual Composer?

Thank you

Hi

Thanks for the clarity.

Any plans to include some of the other features in future updates?

Thanks again for a great theme.

For me it’s ok now, i understand, thank’s for reponse.

I have this problem because i can’t update my nokia n8 and then can’t update opera to the last version.

NO SUCCESS
1. deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer–DID
2. clear all caches–DID
3. purge cdn files –DO NOT KNOW HOW
4. update the theme according with our documentation–DID

I ended up loading the recently updated Newspaper7 theme as well as the included child theme via FTP and that did the trick. Thank you for addressing my question and providing me a solution.

Note the main reason most are no longer supporting the old version of Opera 12x is lack of support for modern TLS ciphers; basically SSL1,SSL2,SSL3,TLS1 are all insecure and are being deprecated over the entire web, and most have to stop using TLS1.1 at some point and *only* use TLS 1.2.

This means old version of Opera won’t work with *any* https site that is setup properly very shortly. Much like old versions of IE which can never be updated for new security settings.

You should be aware of this issue if you rely on Opera for your visitors, and may wish to setup a sniffer to popup notice to update their version of Opera, much like Firefox did once upon a time, and even Chrome.

Especially on mobile, since this is moving to https everywhere, including shared/free SSL certs with new versions of Plesk, Apache, Cloudflare, etc., etc.

Basically Opera 12 won’t work with anybody running modern https — and so should be abandoned as an insecure and obsolete browsing platform.

This is not 100% specific, and just general comment. You need to research the actual specifics on all of this, but you can also learn about this in the Opera forums.

Opera 27 and up is the solution for modern mobile and website support. Opera 12 should be deprecated asap.

(( I don’t work here; just been dealing with webdev for 22 years, and our sites are PCI-DSS certified and we have to deal with infosec crap on daily basis. ))

Opera is a niche browser that has appeal to tech type users and version 12 is very old. Most Opera users update.

To put in perspective for other Newspaper theme users, 5 out of my last 15,000 page visits had a version 12 opera browser. Non issue really.

Hi, tanks for the reply, but any way this line in Firefox browser appears in red collor, and close head tag has the same warning, https://www.dropbox.com/s/zjzqbhxvjha8a5s/error%20in%20tag.JPG, I´ know thats is causing any harm but, as I note, this appear only in the source code on this one, after I done the update for the last version.

this function is stored in plugin, i have checked it is working without need to be added to functions.php.

is it possible to do this without editing footer.php?
later i might have problems with future updates

Hi

I understand your point of view with regard at browser’s popularity. However according with opera change log last update for Opera 12 was released in April 2014. The web theologies from that time weren’t so much advanced as nowadays and most likely that version cannot render modern layout generated with latest technologies.
We cannot fix browser’s incompatibilities and best solution for visitors would be the use a newer version, or even latest one if possible.

Thanks!

Did all that and still the same issue. Style 3 and 4 not showing the image. I just updated with the newest version aswell but it was broken before that too. Changed the featured image and everything, no luck. Any suggestions?

Hi

The theme does not change any settings during update process. Settings are changed only if you install a demo, otherwise they are not affected.
Let me know if you need further assistance on this.
Thanks!
