I have a Facebook ‘like’ on my home page but is stuck now and not updating?
Any ideas why?
Hello,
Some plugins may become incompatible with version 7. This is the case with major updates as the code is custom and not all plugins can tie into the code. The weather widget cannot be used outside newspaper 7 as it’s a theme feature not a plugin.
Thank you!
Thanks ok – but I can go from 4 to 7 as long as I run the updater script?
I have updated my site to 7. But my old settings for travel demo doesnt work anymore.
Stretched picture is not visible.
How we can fix that?
Regards
How do I install the latest update without loosing settings (within Newspaper frame)? Its running since January, now there are some updates. My site: karriere-einsichten.de
After updating the Social Counters are no longer displayed.

Hi,
I’ve update the Newspaper theme to version 7 (from 6.7.2) and I activated the mobile Theme Plugin. Unfortunately, its homepage appears also on desktop and tablet. Is there any fix?
Thanks!
Hi,
In order to update from newspaper 6, you need to delete the old theme altogether and copy over the new theme via ftp. Then simply run the update script from the welcome screen: http://screencast.com/t/NXxqfbe4T
Before the update make sure you do a full backup of your current installation – https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups and then do a clean update, meaning that we recommend that you delete the old version of the theme before uploading the new one – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ update also the plugins that come with the theme files from the /plugins folder. In the “how to update” guide is specified that you will have to run the script that will import from database your settings.
The shortcodes have been changed so old ones will not work anymore. Please note that old files customization or custom css will not work with the new version and you will have to adjust or re-add them.
You will have to re-apply a few settings though as some elements change their order and number such as blocks or post templates so a post template from newspaper 4 for example post style 3, will not be post style 3 anymore but a different number.
You will only have to allow a half hour to restore your site to it’s previous setup.
Thank you!
Hi there,
I made an update of the Theme from 6.7.2 to 7.0 and then after all what I have done modifying the Theme are totally gone now.
Please advise what would the best solution for this?
1. Sign/Login appears on top of every Pages view and Top Bar Sign/Login is came back to its default setting now when I modify it.
2. Facebook comment is gone now.
3. Author Box came back to its default after the update.
Do I have to do the changes again after any update of the Theme?
Regards
Hi,
It should be safe to use the update patch as long as you do not have an older version than 6.6.
Thank you!
Just tested the otherwise excellent v7 update to Newspaper.
The theme demos are not working as they are all linking to: http://demo.tagdiv.com/demo_name/
Hello Junior,
The latest version of WordPress ‘broke’ the Visual Composer and have appeared a lot of issues through this plugin which is solved it in the latest version of this (4.11.2). Please ensure that you are using the latest version of Visual Composer, and also, of the theme, clear all your caches and after check the results. For more information about update, please chek our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Also, I recommend you to disable all your untested plugins to rule out the conflicting plugins.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks.
OMG, nothing seems to work right with mobile after I updated to the new Newspaper7.
Can I downgrade to what was before?
more then half of our readers come from mobile and now it’s just a mess!
i have just updated the theme and after that i started getting mobile container above the header why? kindly fix the issue ASAP as its ruining the look of my blog
My blog is bulletintech.com
Version 7 looks great – updated this morning – but
Messed up desktop menu – this is ubermenu plugin – when deactivating ubermenu site white screens
Mobile theme is great but I need to show all ads sold to local businesses so not good for me – use ShiftNav which only changes mobile menu not entire theme – perhaps a step too far to change mobile theme for me, but good progress for others.
Is there a way to use the weather widget without updating to v7?
Thanks
Hi,
Please make sure you have the latest version of the social counter installed. Please update your theme to the latest version (newspaper 7) by following this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and then also update the plugins : visual composer: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ and use the same method to install the new version of social counter.
The social counter is not a live count and is affected by cache so please either clear your cache after you set it up or wait a bit for it to update. In @snledo’s case, it now works: http://screencast.com/t/J06krX6WhUsa
Thank you!
I tried updating to version 6 a couple of weeks ago but went back to 4 as everything got jumbled up for example sidebar was below content and visual composer was messy (but the updater script did work to keep my sidebars).
I will try again with version 7 this week but can I check on this page forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2 you say to delete existing theme via ftp and make sure the following are deleted – but are these deleted if I already delete the existing theme folder or are they somewhere else as well?
page-homepage-bg.php
page-homepage-bg-loop.php
page-homepage-blank.php
page-homepage-loop.php
page-homepage-timeline.php
PS I updated to Newspaper 7 just before. Could that be the reason? anything else?
On Desktop all functions well

Hello, Bogdan!
I probably did an awful mistake cause my mobile site is hardly loading now and when it does is loads with all kinds of bugs
in the administrator panel I entered the “appearance”, then “editor”. I found the file header.php and added google code after the header. then I clicked update file
Since that moment it all went bad for my mobile site
I deleted the google ad code but it’s still not working.
Should I have added the code somewhere else? using the FTP and not the administrator panel?
How can I save my mobile site now?
Please help! 🙂
Tsvi
Hello,
My current Newspaper version is 6.7.2 in the latest update the patch is from patch_6.6 to 7.0?
Is it safe for me to upgrade from v 6.7.2 to 7.0 using the patch files called patch_6.6_7.0?
Thanks,
Hello LPH,
Indeed, this is a mini bug in our theme, sorry! I have added this on our list of improvements and in next future update will consider to fix it. Until this, please try to use this workaround and edit the logo-text.php core file, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/H76ebvmQo As you can see, you have to add the stripslashes function after the get_option.
Thank you for your message!
Hi
Editor Picks feature used a block_7 to display all the post that are featured. If you do not have this kind of sorting on your post, this section will be empty. You can see this thing in core file, like this: http://screencast.com/t/K4iviQDpY . Here, http://screencast.com/t/dhQfZa3ooMaA you can find out how to make a feature post.
I will add this request to our list and we will update our documentation as soon as possible to include this information.
Thank you!
Hi,
Please make sure you update your theme to the latest version and also update your social counter plugin. Disable and delete the one currently active and install it again from the new theme version from the panel’s plugin section.
New big update released today so might want to check it out!
Thank you!
