So how do we turn off the update notification?
Hi Bogdon,
Thanks for getting me pointed in the right direction. I followed all of the steps and deleted the previous versions, then updated the theme, visual composer and social counter plugin.
A couple things:
– The social counter has been deleted from the sidebar. I also had “Most Popular” and “Categories” in sidebar and they are gone as well. How can I get those back?
– The text color in main nav bar went from white to black. I went into theme panel (Theme Color –> Main Menu) to edit and it won’t let me; it gives me an error message and pop up that says “Background Request Blocked – A background request to WordPress was just blocked.” It gives me the option to “Whitelist this action” or “Dismiss.” But, it won’t let me click on either. I click outside the dialogue box and the loading square just spins and spins, and I have to reload the page. This happens when I try and do almost anything in the theme panel. How can I fix so I can make these (and other) changes? What do I need to do to whitelist?
– My original issue with Visual Composer not being able to edit via pencil icon is not fixed either.
Please let me know what I can do to fix these issues.
Thank you,
Paul

Hello,
The new version of VC is 4.12, but that comes with the latest update of theme is 4.11.2
How I can upgrade to 4.12 ?
Thank you!
Hi,
Did you updated also Visual Composer plugin?
The latest version of Visual Composer provided with the theme is 4.11.2 so please check what version you have and if you need to update please check this guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
If the issue persist check this only with Visual Composer active, disable all other plugins and see how it goes.
Let us know and if you still have issues please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin access so we can take a look and also paste a link to this topic.
We will provide an answer as soon as possible and please note that we don’t work Monday 20 June due to a public holiday.

Hi
Yes you can follow the above steps to update the theme. However as a security measure make sure you do a full backup to your current wp-install: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
Thanks!
Hi
Have you updated the theme at V 7.1.1 which is available on themeforest? When the theme is updated it’s settings shouldn’t be affected as they are stored in database. Please follow our documentation to update the theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ Also before the update process deactivate ll plugin except Visual Composer, clear all caches, deactivate the child theme if you’re using then run the update.
Let us know if you still need assistance on this.
Thanks!
Hi thanks for your advice but, I updated to newspaper 7.1.1 and I have the same problem; VC doesn´t work. Help me pleaseeee
Hi
The mobile theme is a plugin included in Newspaper theme and you won’t get any notification from codecanyon in this regard. The mobile theme is available with V 7.1.1 of Newspaper so try to update to that version following our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ Also you can check our documentation for more details about plugin’s usage: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
Hi, could I use these step in the document to update without losing any custom layout and configuration related to theme?
————————
Step 1 – Deactivate the current “Newspaper” theme from the Appearance > Themes section by simply activating a different theme. Once you activate a different theme, delete the Newspaper theme. Don’t worry, your content will not be lost.
Step 2 – Get the “Newspaper.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 Newspaper.zip will be inside it.
Step 3 – Go to Appearance > Themes, choose Add New Theme, Upload the “Newspaper.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 ../Newspaper-tf/plugins folder.
————————
Thanks.
So, please add this feature to the theme in the next update! Using another plugin with this functionality decreases pagespeed and is bad for SEO.
Hi, I occasionally get emails of theme updates. It leads to a download page where new updated theme can be downloaded. If I upload this ‘new’ theme, all my earlier theme setting are lost and I have to start form the scratch. Just like when I installed the theme for the first time.
Am I missing anything here? How to update your theme without losing your customization and theme panel settings. Please help.

I did the update theme, but Home Widgets not showing
Everything else works as expected.
Problem is, on a fresh WP install with any other theme, the use of ANY shortcode in a page maintains the basic elements of a page template (title, body). Searching for ANY shortcode to decide whether or not VC is being used is a bug. To go by your own documentation:
If VC is used, the page title will not show. I didn’t use VC and the page title didn’t show. You see where I’m going with this?
Whatever conditional is being used to check for a shortcode is not limited to a regex for VC only shortcodes and is tripping on any and every shortcode available. It essentially ruins the shortcode feature of the whole page system in WP. It modifies core behavior in a round about way that doesn’t actually change core code.
I can edit this myself, sure, and I can even keep maintaining it across updates, but that’s just a band aid for the bigger problem. This isn’t a localized issued. Also not a difficult fix… ** correction. It’s not a difficult fix for you because you know the VC methods used and how they cross with NP methods. Looking at the code, it looks like you’re depending on VC’s own internal array of shortcodes and then not filtering through them at all aside from adding the leading bracket to the shortcode names. Literally checking if it’s empty or not and nothing else…
`
if (is_array($td_page_builder_short_codes) && !empty($td_page_builder_short_codes)) {
foreach ($td_page_builder_short_codes as $short_code_name){
// we have to add [ before the shortcode name, else it may target simple words that match with the shortcode name
$short_codes_buffer[] = ‘[‘ . $short_code_name;
}
}
if (!empty($short_codes_buffer) && td_util::strpos_array($post->post_content, $short_codes_buffer) === true) {
$td_use_page_builder = true;
}
`
If it’s not going to be fixed, then the above screenshot shows text that must be changed, because ALL I’m wanting is for the software to do what it says there; if VC is used, no title, if VC is not used, page title. Simple.
Thanks.
Hi The system status shows there is a Newspaper mobile version but i did not get any notification from codecanyon how to update the news version ?
thank you
Hello,
I have the same problem. I’ve updated the theme recently. The counters for Youtube and Facebook are showing 0. The Instagram stats is OK
Newspaper v 7.1.1
Social Counter v 4.1
Visual Composer 4.11.2
Hello marciagf,
Please keep in mind that Visual Composer come bundled with our theme and you will have to use only the version which comes with the theme and not other to achieve better results. Our latest version of the theme is Newspaper 7.1.1 and the right version for required plugins are -> Visual Composer 4.11.2 and Social Counter 4.1.
As you can see, all the plugins are in constant development. Each plugin will have to be checked with our theme for a good working and this process it may take a while. For example, the latest version of Visual Composer is 4.12 and the latest version of the plugin which has been tested with our theme is 4.11.2. In the future, after our developers will check this latest version of Visual Composer with the theme and they will find that the theme does not need to do some adjustments for, we will release an update with the latest version of Visual Composer (4.12). Until we will release the update with these latest versions you will have to ignore these messages.
So, please notice that if you want to have the latest version of the Visual Composer, you will need to have the additional license of this plugin and also, we cannot say for sure if this version of Visual Composer will work 100% with the theme because this version it is in testing.
For more information about Visual Composer, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello all,
I want to underline the fact that our theme is in constant development and we working hard that it to be updated with the latest version of plugins. So, I suppose that you are using the latest version of WordPress which is 4.5.2 and if you are not using the latest version of the theme, you will not bring the best results here. Also, you will have to use the latest tested version of Visual Composer (4.11.2) with the theme because if you are using an older version of it, also, you will not bring the best results and the Composer will not work. So, if you are using an older theme version of the theme and if you not planning to reinstall/update the theme to the latest version, then you will have to downgrade the WordPress and Visual Composer from an older version if you want that your theme to work as expected. Please keep in mind that for every time when Visual Composer will release a new version, we will release a new update with the latest version of the theme which is adjusted to this version of a plugin, for better results. So, if you have updated these plugins to the latest version of them and if your theme is not updated to the latest version of it, the chances are high to not working as properly.
Please keep in mind that we cannot offer support for older version of the theme, but only for the latest, because this area is in constant development and we have to keep up technologies advanced.
I hope that you understand this!
Thanks for your message!
Hello Caum,
At the moment, unfortunately, this is not possible using our child theme because you will have to register your block in td_page_builder_widgets.php as the widget with add_action and this type of file do not support to be overwritten in the child theme, sorry! At the moment, the only way for it is using this in the main theme.
We certainly plan to extend the theme flexibility in the future updates. I’ve added your suggestion on our list and when the time comes our developers will consider it. This may take some time because we have a long implementation list and we take them one by one.
Thanks for your suggestion, have a nice day.
Hello blujimbo,
Please try to update the theme to the latest version of it, clear all your caches and test it again. Also, please ensure that you have followed all the steps in order to achieve best results, according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/weather-widget/
I have tested on my side with your city location and seems to work as properly, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/r4QXQbB6E and the result you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/xk6aoNQ1zxqU
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
The block settings can be changed by clicking the pencil icon as presented in this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
Your problem originates from the latest version of wordpress. You use an old version of the theme and an old version of visual composer. You have visual composer 4.6.2 but for the latest version of WP you need version 4.11.2 as there were a few compatibility issues that needed fixing. Please updfate your theme to the latest version by following this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and then update your plugin by following this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Please also make sure you update the social counter plugin as well after you update.
Thank you!
Hello rchjantonio,
We certainly plan to extend the theme flexibility in the future updates. I’ve added your suggestion on our list and when the time comes our developers will consider it. This may take some time because we have a long implementation list and we take them one by one and we cannot say for sure if it will be implemented or not.
Please keep in mind that this will depend on just developers decision.
Thanks for your suggestion, have a nice day.
