let me rephrase the question
i have a wordpress site with wordpress 4.4.2 with newsmag theme v2.2.
i have to update the theme from v2.2 to v2.3.5
1) what steps to be followed for this process ??
Note : i have customized v2.2 theme according to our requirement so while updating the theme we don’t want to loose those modifications.

Hi

First of all we don’t work on weekends and we always take the topics from the oldest to newest, so is not recommended to update your topic because we will see it as a new topic and you will get the answer later.

1. Unfortunately at the moment the theme don’t have an option to move the video on sidebar when the page scroll down. This is a complex task and to achieve it are required lots of customizations.
2. You can set how many related posts to be displayed from theme panel > post settings > related article: http://screencast.com/t/pcw6go1tFI

If you need further assistance please let us know and we will get back to you in shortest time possible.
Thanks for your understanding!

Hi,
Every post template has a specific class you can check here: http://screencast.com/t/GgiEwozGrpSQ
You can add multiple conditions to the code if you wish to change it.
As for the plugin, we are not sure how the plugin works. You will need to use the implementation method specified by the plugin author. If you want to modify this behavior, we cannot offer any suggestions as we have not tested the plugin and have no idea of it;s functionality.
For the third part, there is no benefit at all, as different versions of visual composer will not work with pur theme properly except for the one that comes bundled with our theme. Please use just the version you can install from here: http://screencast.com/t/iuv6drOf (we will update the plugin along with the theme)
Thank you!

Hello Bogdan,
I added the code to the php file as directed, but it is not saving the changes in the php file, I can see the changes in Adobe Edge code but not the theme folder, how do I make the changes appear in the newspaper theme folder?

Thanks.

I’ve downgraded Visual Composer to version 4.9 and it’s working like a charm!
So, definitely there is a problem with Visual Composer 4.11 from the last update!

Update on this: After fiddling with everything I could think of (with help from the fab TagDiv crew), we still couldn’t figure out why the top page was disappearing, but it appeared to have something to do with me having the site on CloudFlare. (Because, yeah, I deactivated CloudFlare, and the comment system worked fine – BUT my site slowed down and had all the problems I had before activating CloudFlare. So I ended up activating it again and had the same comment issue.)

So I tried out some different comment systems, and while checking out Postmatic, I live-chatted with the Postmatic crew (Jason L., who is awesome), and here’s what we did: Activated the Postmatic plugin, then also added another plugin from the Postmatic people called Epoch (solves most comment issues and works with CDN, Cache and SEO). Those two plugins solved the issue. Comments work great (and bonus points that the Postmatic plugin has a cool thing where people can just reply to a comment email and their comment is automatically added to the post) and everything is speedy.

Highly recommend Postmatic and Epoch, as well as the excellent customer support from the Postmatic people.

Hi
it’s better to implement the hooks into the functions.php file vs adding another plugin (my opinion only).

Reason is latency, additional php overhead, and possibility of plugin introducing issues if not updated with new versions of php, wordpress, other plugins, etc.

However, if it works for you, that’s great.

Always best to add your own functions if possible, which is at least how we do it over here.

Any plugin that loads admin only CSS/JS functions on your posts/pages code, is a bad plugin where that should only be hooked into the admin panel and not your posts/pages, btw.

There is a simple function to remove VC from loading on post/pages, which we use, also.

You will get that from doing theme update.

Nobody would “normally” go to that folder as it’s not part of the website.

Just mark ‘fixed’ and ignore 🙂

Also how do I update the theme

I’ve checked error log and I can see that on 18 March (the day that I’ve patched the latest update and you have released the update on 17 March) there is an error log: 18-Mar-2016 20:34:59 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file, expecting ‘)’ in /home/***/public_html/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/include/helpers/helpers.php on line 639.

Hi Andrei,
thanks very much for you prompt reply and I take note of your answer even if, frankly, I don’t completely agree nor understand the tone you’ve used in the answer (i.e. using often “first of all we don’t…”) because, simply, it is not needed. Maybe it is due to a misundertanding. I certainly believe you that a clean test environment could work as expected but on our site where there are real posts and real visits, someting is not going as expected. And it is a good test bed both for you theme and for the plugin coming with it in the pack. On a clean test environment one can’t reach undreds of visits and WPP stats cannot be tested enough. Moreover I can assure you that our running WordPress 4.2.2 and that the theme and its plugins have constantly updated following scrupulously your documented procedures.
As a technician (I’m a software engineer even if not full web oriented), since we use your theme on a public web magazine which gets sometime thousands of visits, my aim and role is to solve malfunctionings and anomalies (as the dicrepancies between the theme views counter and WPP plugin stats is) and not to arrogantly pretend something from you. And I believe that the tone of all my previous posts can confirm that.
I thought to use the support channel because that anomaly boggles my mind and can’t find an answer to it.
Just for an example it was not neither too much evident nor documented that the theme unique contents setting “conflicts” with the “WPP” statistics and in fact it was a my deduction so I think that everyone, each from its part, should do its better in order to solve a problem or to explain if it is not completely understood. The same applies to settings I’ve made with your help that required code hacking and that obviously cannot be documented by you.
That said, I rather thought that the stats discrepancy towards the theme view counter was due to a my fault with some settings or similar because I assumed (and now I know that I was wrong) that all plugins that come with your theme are already tested from you as, for example, the Visual Composer plugin that you clearly advice to not update indipendently from the theme because you release the plugin updates with the theme update itself (I guessed after inhouse tests). Therefore if update releases are assumed to be correct, if something seems not correct I guess that the best way (after days of tests) is to ask to the theme creator: shouldn’t have I?
So that, dear Andrei, the question is still there unanswered: why there is a >1000 visits difference but if it is not possibile to answer no problem, but it is not right to be forced to show to our users the visit counts on posts, otherwise no WPP would be available, and after to discover that that stats are wrong for some unknown reason.
Endly, anyway, I have to say that Newsmag is a fantastic theme and that I’d buy it again even if one can always improve, also with its customer annoying posts. Isn’t it?
Thanks a lot again for your help and (sometime) useful advice 🙂
Giuseppe

P.S. Maybe I’ll need of your help again in the future so hope you will be still available 🙂

No problem, I’ll wait for the next update 🙂

Hi

First make sure you do a full backup of your current wp-install and database to: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups

If you can’t deactivate/delete the old plugin’s version from wp-admin then you can use the ftp method to update the plugin.
First unzip the js_composer.zip file on your computer, make sure it’s V 4.9 which is included in theme path. After this step login on your account using ftp, navigate to /your-wp-install/wp-content/plugins delete the js_composer folder then upload the new one. After this step you should be able to activate the plugin from wp-admin.

Thanks!

Hi

I am not sure why you did the migration this way as there is a more simpler method.
First make sure you do a full backup of your current wp-install and database to: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
Then follow our documentation to update the theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ Make sure that you do a clean update, meaning the we recommend to delete the old theme files, clear all caches, deactivate all others plugins that you have it installed and purge cdn files if you’re using.
Also make sure you update Visual Composer plugin at V 2.3.5 here is our documentation in this regard: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/

Thanks!

Ahh got it. Any ETA on the new update? 🙂

Hi

The last theme version available on theme forest is 2.3.5 and was released in 9 January. You can download it and update it following our guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/

Thanks!
