Hello,
URGENT Help!
I have been using the Black demo. But the thing is, I liked those settings that much, that after removing your demo content, I started writing my own content in it. The website looks exactly like your demo one.
My question is, if I update the theme, will all my new settings/posts/pages will be removed?
My website url: http://www.currenthollywood.com
Hi tagDiv team,
First of all, the new mobile theme is superb and for that I really congratulate you for your hard work.
First- The update went without any issues, however I need to know how to change the top grid from Featured to the Latest, preferably from a particular category, if possible, if not the latest from all will do for now.
“top grid – displays 3 featured posts (posts included in the Featured category)”
Second – Do you still recommend to use WP Super Cache with your latest theme update v7.0.1? I have used the WP Fastest Cache and I had some issues after the update, it kept showing the Desktop version instead of the mobile version, so I had to disable it.
Third- The Speed Booster is not working when these and other plugins are active:
-Add Meta Tags
-Advanced Custom Fields
-Coming Soon Page & Maintenance Mode by SeedProd
-Disqus Comment System
-and other plugins
It would be great idea to make the Speed Booster compatible with all plugins and also add CDN and also other caching options and features, this will help speeds up the theme even more, and will also avoid experiencing any errors from other cache plugins.
Finally – how to edit the mobile template? Which file?
Many thanks for the great work
Hi
After WordPress updated at V 4.5 there appeared a jQuery conflict in our theme, also older version of VC won’t work with it. We fixed this conflict and the current theme version available on themeforest works fine, also we included last version of Visual Composer plugin.
Try to update the theme at current version avalable on themeforest, also update Visual Composer at V 4.11.2 following our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ deactivate all other plugins, clear all caches and test again.
I hope this helps.
Thanks!
Hi
When you update the theme each customization made in its files will be lost so you have to re-add them again. During the update process old files are deleted and new files are uploaded instead. You have to keep track your changes and re-add them in new files after each update. Also you can use the child theme to overwrite some of theme’s files but this will work only if the required files can be overwritten from child theme. Here you can check our documentation for more detail about child theme usage: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-child-theme-support/
Thanks!
Hi
You have to follow the same install process for each plugin. Please check this link where we explained how to install Visual Composer plugin: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ and follow the indications for your plugins.
Let us know how it goes and if you still can’t manage to solve this please provide more details about your issue and we will get back to you in shortest time possible.
Thanks!
Hi,
After you set up the counter using the tutorial, please clear all caches and allow it a bit of time to update as it’s not a live count and it will make a few requests/day in order to keep the server load to a minimum.
Thanks.
Hi,
Unfortunately the mobile theme cannot be re-written from the child theme as it;s implementation is different from the main theme. We will try to add child theme support for the mobile theme in future updates.
Thank you!
Because editing the core files would have problems when you release new updates
Hi,
The issue with visual composer not being able to edit pages was caused by the new version of WP and visual composer below version 4.9. Please update visual composer to version 4.11 or 4.11.2 in order for it to work properly.
Please let us know if you still have issues with this.
Thank you!
Hello all,
Please ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme (Newspaper 7.0.1) and then please ensure that you have updated all the required plugins to the latest version of the theme. The Visual Composer is needed to be to the 4.11.2 version, Social Counter -> 4.0. Clear all your caches and test it again.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello five40,
Please notice that this is a task which falls beyond the support can offer you at the moment. We would have gladly made it for you but we are a small team and we are working very hard on the development, updates, fixes, and support and basically, we do not have the time required to accomplish that kind of complex task.
Thank you for your understanding!

Hi,
Please update visual composer to the latest version: 4.11.2 and make sure you also update the social counter to version 4.0. Then use this guide to set it up: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial-2/
Thank you!
Hello matijakurusic,
Thank you for your suggestion. I have added it to our list of improvements and maybe in the future update we will consider it. Please notice that it depend on developers decisions.
Thanks.
Hi,
1) Please update the social counter by disabling the one you have now and deleting files and installing the new plugin version which comes with the latest theme version. You must have social counter version 4.0 for it to work properly
2) There is no official soulution for adding new social icons but you can try to replicate this method for adding a new social share option: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/add-a-linkedin-button/
3) The name of the file must be the same as the one in the main theme. your file is named functions2/.php
4) Same as 3
5) There are lots of plugins not compatible with speedbooster that people use. We have no alternative to provide but there is this workaround: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tinymce-advanced-and-other-various-disabling-speed-boster/
6) The cropping of the featured images is different for all post styles you use. There are a total of 14 post templates to chose from: https://forum.tagdiv.com/post-templates-2/
7) The homepage is the most customizable area of our theme. You chose from a total of 25 content blocks: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/ and 12 big grids: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/ among other elements.
Please read the documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-documentation/
8) APC is different from a caching plugin and it is compatible with sp super cache APC is a cache for PHP: http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/website/what-is/speed-up-php-with-apc
9) Please contact your hosting provider and make sure compression is allowed/enabled from the server side.
10) Those are alternative methods. Use one or the other, not both
11) Speedbooster is for advanced users only. You placed the js inside the style css part. Please read it again and check the screenshots to see where to places css and where to place js blocks.
12) For a smart sidebar please read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-sidebar-2/
13) You can use a redirect to send the user elsewere if he clicks the author name: http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/beginners-guide-to-creating-redirects-in-wordpress/
Thanks

Salut ade,
Suspectez aceasta problema temporara de care vorbesti ca fiind generata poatede plugin-urile tale care nu sunt testate cu tema noastra. Incearca sa dezactivezi toate plugin-urile active, cu exceptia Visual Composer, curata toata memoria cache si instaleaza numai plugin-urile care vin la pachet cu tema pentru a evita orice conflict ce poate aparea intre acestea si tema ce pot genera diverse probleme necunoscute. Daca problema ta inca persista dupa acest sfat, da-mi te rog URL-ul site-ului tau pentru a putea inspecta sa vedem unde este problema.
Daca doresti sa iti actualizezi tema la noua versiune, te rog sa observi ca tu trebuie sa o faci prin FTP deoarece este cea mai sigura metoda in aceasta privinta. Pentru mai multe informatii despre cum poti sa iti actualizezi tema, te rog nu evita sa citesti documentatia noastra aici -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/

Hi,
The social counter is not working on my site.
I have updated the latest version of plugin but the facebook fan count is showing 0
Please help
Hi,
1) This seems to be gone now. It is a common issue created by cache either a caching plugin, a cdn or server cache. It got cleared/updated so now it displays properly. The issue was the old css file being served from the cache.
2) I’m not sure exactly what the error says as we do not speak your language :). Try to activate it again and translate the error message for us so we can tell what is going on.
Thanks.
Hi,
If you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme and see if the problem is still there. If it;s the child theme causing it, it will have to be re-created. If you do not use a child theme, please try a fresh install via ftp as the update process might have gone wrong: https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Also try it without any plugins as a plugin conflict can also create such issues.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Thank you for your suggestion. I will add it to our update list and pass this information on to the development team.
