Be sure to check the AMP docs, as a number of hooks/filters *changed” in 0.3.1 — so any tutorials written first week of Feb. with v.0.2 might no longer work. But good link 🙂
UPDATES 2/25:
WINDOWS SERVERS/BLANK PAGES:
They have found potential issue with some folks having blank AMP page, due to Windows vs Unix/Linux.
CLOUDFLARE:
If you are using the Cloudflare plugin for WordPress, turn off the “HTTPS Protocol Rewriting” setting in the Cloudflare plugin. That fixed it for at least one person from feedback in the support forum.
I solved this problem. Reason is old version of social counter 3.0. You need 3.1.
Here is tutorial:
1, Update latest version of Social counter on the version 3.1.
2, Use this tutorial https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial-2/
It will be fully functional.
Hello Kerran elamassa,
1) Please make sure you have the latest theme version: 6.6.5. If not, you need to follow this guide to update your theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
2) Having the latest version of the theme is not enough if you do not update the social counter as well. You need to remove the current version you use: http://screencast.com/t/4jvRwNzK and then install the version of the plugin that comes with the 6.6.5 theme: http://screencast.com/t/9AKKURjTjX
You can recognize if you have the correct version of the plugin when you see the new app key settings: http://screencast.com/t/CIXxklBanNl If you do not have these settings in your social counter it means you do not have the correct version.
3)You need to follow this guide to get the requirements from facebook:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial-2/
Please keep in mind that the social counter is not a live count. It will update once every few hours.
Once you followed all the above steps properly and made sure you have not missed anything, (and the social counter still does not work), then you can send an email to contact@tagdiv.com with your login information so we can further inspect the issue.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
Hi,
Unfortunately customization will be lost if you modified the files that were updated. Depending on the version from which you update from, you can use the included patch you can find in the theme files and simply replace your files with the ones from the patch. If one of the files found in this patch is one you modified on your end, then you need to adapt your modification to the new file.
Thank you!
Hello, I have problem with structural data in http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/
My website with Your theme have a problem: ” Missing elements: updated ”
How to fix this problem?
Best regards
Walczak Emil
Ok quick update..it seems when I manually add the link in the “Text mode” of the editor and save it, it worked fine. But if I try to center align the image it goes back to not working.. Any ideas?
Edited to add: if I wrap the image in a p tag and center the p tag that seems to work. But manually centering the image itself and adding a link seems to cause the issues I mentioned above.
Hello,
I have one doubt about the theme update:
When we do the theme update is the customization that we did in the demo template lost?
Is the theme update seamless?
Hello everyone, I’m facing a problem with modal images, when I set some image as modal image = ON and I update it the image cannot be found by clicking it. What may be happening?
Hi Catalin,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
So if I understand right, you are saying that you include a conspicuous visual element in the header of the theme, that incites you to click on it to perform a search, and it is not only not linked to a search box/page/somenthig similar, but that to link it to a custom search page I have to either have coding knowledge (let me remind you of the “NO CODING REQUIRED” header on your themeforest.net product page) or hire someone who does? I think this is a bit too much…
Let’s say I modified theme. What’s going to happen each time I update? As I understand it, i’ll have to do it all over again?
Please clarify…
C.
Hi
Glad you manage to solve this issue.
Regarding the code from child theme there is an important aspects that must be considered:
– if in previous theme’s version a specific code added in child theme worked fine that doesn’t mean that will work with a new theme version. When theme update many of its files are changed and it’s a good practice to check update_log.txt file for each update and see what files had been modified so if those specific files are used in the child theme you will have to check your customizations to not break the functionality of the theme.
Thanks!
Hi @awtown
With regard at the code from child theme there is an important aspects that must be considered:
– if in previous theme’s version a specific code added in child theme worked fine that doesn’t mean that will work with a new theme version. When theme update many of its files are changed and it’s a good practice to check update_log.txt file for each update and see what files had been modified so if those specific files are used in the child theme you will have to check your customizations to not break the functionality of the theme.
In this process is recommended that you first backup your child theme and all modifications then check each file you’ve customized and if it’s ok add it in the same path in the child theme, if not make adapt the changes then add the file. In order to compare files you can also use winmerge according to this tutorial: https://forum.tagdiv.com/compare-theme-files-winmerge-tutorial/
If you still can’t manage this and you need additional assistance or informations, please fell free to ask and address us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and also provide a link to this conversation and give us ftp and wp access.
Thanks!
Hi
That happens because the setting you currently use has been changed in the latest updates. It’s enough to go to theme panel >categories and set the category template: http://screencast.com/t/JmI2zZx8xoV
Thanks!
You need to update visual composer, and speed booster plugin if using then when updating theme, usually. Might not be your issue, but worth a try. Update via ftp.
Did you update plugins included with theme also?
Hi,
I’m having trouble while manually updating from 2.1 to the latest version of Newsmag.
I’m using ftp to do so, I renamed the “old” folder Newsmag to a different name and uploaded the latest version instead. I’m also using a Child theme and wp_super_cache (which I flushed as well)
So with the latest version I get the following errors on any page, even in the wp-admin panel:

What’s happened ? how can I have it fixed quickly as my website is in production and I can only update at a certain time of the day ?
Thank you so much,

I think you have to look at the changelog and see if any of the child files got changed. This is why I don’t use child themes; as sometimes with major updates the child theme changes along with the main theme, which kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion. 🙂
Chris, thanks for the insight. I’ve updated the plugins immediately after upgrading. The parent theme seems to work, but using a child theme for modifications is preferred.
In the update instructions, there’s no mention of updating the child theme.
You may need to update the child theme — see changelog; try launching the main theme only.
You also need to update plugins as well as theme!
I’m trying to update to 2.3.5. The site is helpuconquer.com.
When activating the child theme, a list of errors appear:

Did you also update the booster plugin included with the theme update?

I am keeping my thread updated, for those who care …. 🙂
Note, there is update plugin 0.3.1 today (2/24); also the “Yoast SEO Glue” plugin is now in the WordPress.org repository for auto-install from WP panel or FTP without having to mess with the github dev version!
For those using YOAST SEO + AMP, get this:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/glue-for-yoast-seo-amp/
In my test pages, the “image” works when loaded/placed between paragraphs but didn’t work when it was a featured image loaded on page outside the actual post meta.
If using the YOAST SEO GLUE addon for Yoast SEO, it looks like that will pick up the description and also make sure featured image (fallback to OG image) will be inserted into the code.
Be sure to read the threads for the plugin on WordPress.org (for both plugins).
In my tests in December I found the social plugin I was using didn’t work with AMP, as the FontAwesome font would not load and hence had broken elements for sharing.
I’ll be testing AMP with the Simple Local Avatars plugin, which is the one I happen to use for local hosting of author pix.

NOTE THIS IS EVOLVING AS WE SPEAK
I just got ping back to help debug the alternate wp-content folder path bug, so will be following up with them on that today to help fix that issue.
Hello laraklopp,
Unfortunately, as you can see in our documentation about child theme support, here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/ the td_social_icons.php code file do not support child theme and if you want to do some changes on this you have to make it only in the main theme. Also, please notice that in next future update, all the customization will be lost.
For your second request, is just an example for WhatsUp implementation and that code is already loaded in our theme. You have to find on the web another fonts family, download on your PC and try to implement it in Newspaper. In order to achieve result, you have to follow this mini guide ->
You can try to regenerate fonts like this:
1. go to https://icomoon.io/app
2. button “import icons”, import from newsmag.svg (in /images/icons/),
3. select all icons;
4. button “generate font”, button “download”;
5. copy the 4 files (.eot, .svg .ttf .woff), in “fonts” folder in the downloaded zip file, rename icomoon.* to newsmag.*, replace old files, done.
Please notice that is only for the advanced user. If you are not aware the steps, please consider to hire someone with a high experience in domain to implement this functionality for you in our theme because we cannot provide custom services at the moment, sorry!
Thank you for your understanding!
