Hi,
Just updated to the latest version and realized that Block titles which are empty are still showing up as “Block title” in the frontend. Anyone else with the issue?
Hello yachtsailingcharter,
Yes, before you update your theme, you have to disable all your plugins, remove your old theme and install the new update only through FTP because this is the surest way in this case. For more information about theme updating, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ Also, you can check this topic here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-i-manage-to-update-from-version-6-x-x-to-newspaper-7-0-without-a-problem/#post-111643
Thanks.
@Catalin – you are most welcome.
@aktifje – glad you made it, Welcome to the club Newspaper 7 :D, hope people will see this before attempting to update version 7.0, I made this after I revert back to Version 6.7.2 when my first attempt to update Version 7 my site are totally broken, it was a big headache, luckily I have a FullBackUp to revert back before the update was made.
Hi
Make sure that you’re using V 4.11.2 of Visual Composer which is tested and works fine with V 4.5.2 of wordpress. Here you can check our update documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ After WordPress release V 4.5, Visual Composer V 4.9 or older won’t work properly because of a conflict.
Thanks!
Hi, Andrei L.
i already placed ad using theme panel and enabled. i haven’t made changes, after theme update.
temporary i placed ads below post title using plugin.
Please help up, For this ad blocking rules cant affect for my some post same like other ads.
Hi
Please make sure that you have enabled all elements in Visual Composer settings: http://screencast.com/t/wijJbxUmyL6S clear the caches then test again. If you still can’t find new elements in VC editor try to update the theme via ftp as it’s the best way of making a clean update: https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Thanks!
It isn’t standard in your theme. But it should be. It’s a pretty common need and it should be standard.
It shouldn’t been supposed to have to hack this over and over each time we update de theme.
But that’s just my 2 cents.
Good job on the theme, besides this is pretty good.
Hello MShayto9,
1)If you want to do automatically update, please notice that you have to use the Envato Toolkit. For more information about this regard, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-automatically-update-newspaper-theme/ Also, please notice that we recommend doing an update via FTP because this is the surest method in this regard.
2)Please notice that all your customizations from your panel (Custom CSS area box ->after your update, please re-save this from your panel) and panel settings will remain exactly the same because these were loaded in your database. Also, if you have another custom modifications through code, (for example in the child theme or theme files) all of these will be overwritten with the latest update. Usually, before updating, we recommend our customers to make a backup for all of the customizations because this is the safest way to not lose data.
Thanks.

Hi Bogdan. With all the issues surfacing all at once I’ve become somewhat jaded and frustrated. I have methodically followed the tutorials and nothing happened. Eventually I manually downloaded the new theme unpacked into a folder and then uploaded the Newspaper folder via FTP to then overwrote the appropriate folder on my server. Have eventually updated theme to 7. Set about changing look to Black Demo. More issues (It just has to be something I have configured wrong – dammed if I know). Still have issues with social icons not displaying correctly. Background black color not displaying at all. Web site is http://pigsfly.info. Following tutorial to create page and then use Visual Composer. More issues clicking an item does not install that item into page. Bob
Hi @all
We’re sorry for all this inconveniences. Indeed the filter for related article section is not working now but we will fix this issue and we will release an update in shortest time possible.
Thanks for your understanding.
Update: I think I understand what has happened, because i have activate “mobile theme” showing for some reason the mobile version as the primary. There is no way to work with normal theme & mobile
Thanks!
Thumbs up!! Manually patching will give more headache. This way more safe and updated.
Hi,
Please provide a link to your site so we can inspect the icons on firefox. As for the envato toolkit, please make sure you configured it properly using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thank you!
Hi Catalin, I just re-updated the theme as you indicated, via FTP, I deleted the old theme folder and wp cache but nothing really changed, images still won’t show up, header and sidebar is still missing, part of the menu as well.
In the admin panel i recive some error strings like these and part of the left menu is missing:

Found it. Got the same problem.
Go to Visual Compose tab on the left menu of WordPress Back end.
Then go Role Manager for administrator tab and scroll down.
There you will find a list with all elements of visual editor. just check the extra blocks and grids and weather and exchange etc that came with the new update. After that, new grids etc will show in the visual editor when you edit a page
hi, i have automatic blog post, my question is , where can i get the documentation for newsleter DUMP database query , insert or update to which tables, because i want to make it automatically post, so i need to code in how Newspaper insert every posts

Hi,
The latest version of VC was added as soon as it launched. The plugin does not update automatically though, you have to update it yourself by following this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thank you!
Hi,
Please deactivate all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then access the theme panel and hit the save button if you haven’t after you updated. If the problem is still there afterwards, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can inspect the issue. Also include a link to this topic so we can identify you.
Thank you!
Same here with Newspaper V 6.4 and WP version 4.5.2. This problem came after WP update.
Hi there,
First of all, please accept my apologies all of these.
Please allow me to ask a few things about customization of the new Newspaper version 7.0.
1. Since I am doing some customization on my site and based on what I had read on the documentation and on your rules that any update of the Theme we should try again to re-implement the code for our customization, so I decided instead of doing that again and again is to add the Child Theme, that any update of the Theme still the customization of site will be there right? Please advise if this the best option? Hope it will.
2. (If Serial 1 is not the best option, leave this.) Please advise if this is correct to Add a Child Theme via FTP I will just add the Folder “Newspaper-child” located in /code folder? base on this Tutorial Link to add it under “wp-content/themes” right? by just dragging it via FTP? same on this Image Link.
3. Author Box Card replace it with USERPRO shortcode.
Filename:
/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/loop-single-12.php – this is my style number
ShortCode to add:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[userpro template=card user=author]');?>
Original String Structure:
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_social_sharing_bottom();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_next_prev_posts();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_author_box();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_item_scope_meta();?>
</footer>
Modified String Structure: Please advise if this is correct syntax code?
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_social_sharing_bottom();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_next_prev_posts();?>
<?php echo do_shortcode('[userpro template=card user=author]');?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_item_scope_meta();?>
</footer>
3.a. If I am using a Child Theme I just copy the Filename then create a directory structure path in the child theme as in the theme and paste the Filename based on this Tutorial Link aight?
4. Sign In/Join Desktop view popup version using USERPRO shortcode
Filename: wp-content/themes/Newspaper/parts/header/top-menu.php
ShortCode to add:
<div class="td-login-wrap">
' . do_shortcode('[userpro template=login]') . '
Original String Structure:
//<span class="td-sp-ico-logout"></span>
echo '<ul class="top-header-menu td_ul_logout">
<li class="menu-item">' .
get_avatar($current_user->ID, 20) . 'ID) . '" class="td_user_logd_in">' . $current_user->display_name . '' .
'
<li class="menu-item">
<i class="td-icon-logout"></i>' . __td('Logout', TD_THEME_NAME) . '
';
} else {
echo '<ul class="top-header-menu td_ul_login"><li class="menu-item">' . __td('Sign in / Join', TD_THEME_NAME) . '<span class="td-sp-ico-login td_sp_login_ico_style"></span>';
}
}//end login window
Modified String Structure:
Please advise how to add the correct syntax code.

6.a. Same on Serial 3.a. question.
7. If there is a new update of the Theme like for example: header.php as we added a Custom Code on version 6.x.x has 92 Lines + 2 Lines on our Custom Code both on Main Theme and Child Theme then a new update came version 7.0 header.php has 98 Lines, since our Child Theme had originally 92 Lines, are we going to update also our Child Theme structure based on the latest one from 92 Lines to 98 Lines then + 2 Lines on our Custom code?
8. Mobile Theme Plugin – if I install this plugin would the Child Theme modification will reflect to this? I mean I made changes in Serial 3, 5 and 6 will it reflect also? Please advise.
8.a. Whats the difference between Theme Panel background color for mobile vs Mobile Theme Plugin Settings background color? Which one should I make the changes if this Plugin is installed?
8.b. Gradient color – may I ask the exact hex number of this color? Link Here
9. Am I allowed to create directory structure and add the following filename on the Child Theme incase all of the above are possible to my site.
>loop-single-12.php
>top-menu.php
>For Serial 5 filename
>header.php
I have sent my Login Credentials via mail incase you may need it with the same Subject here.

Running WP Version 4.5.2 with Newspaper 7.0.
Can’t find the new Block-templates (22 – 25) nor Big Grid-templates (10 – 12).
Tried normal update and complete re-instal. Both to no avail.
Am I missing something?
Sincerely,
– Frank.
