Hi

The theme don’t have an option to change the font for the text displayed in smart lists but we will consider this for future updates. Now you can use this css in theme panel > custom code > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/jOy8VJ1Nznrr

.td-sml2-description p {
font-size: 20px!important;
}

Thanks!

Try clearing cache, or turn off caching, resave permalinks, turn off all plugins except visual composer to figure out what might be causing issue with latest version of WP (not all plugins are updated to work with WP 4.2x and break things!).

Update went great and this problem was solved!

See theme docs, link right side of page, on how to update theme.

Usually via ftp is best method.

Should edits like this — to .php docs — be done within the context of a Child Theme? Obviously, I’m thinking in terms of theme updates. If so, should it be nested in Child Theme directories per Newspaper Theme structure?

Sorry if this is a stupid Q. Thanks.

Hey guys is there an update on this? We too would love to use Facebook Comments. We are noticing a large number of spam comments with the generic comment section, we are hoping not only will the comments be optimized on facebook, but it will also limit the spam comments. Thank you for your insights.

Check with your hosting provider as to where the error log is.

I’ve been using the theme for over 2 years, and other themes.

500 error means site crashed on ping/visit — could be overload — did you assign enough memory to your install?

If you get the error once a momth or on WordPress or theme update — THAT is normal.

If you’re getting it multiple times a week, then you have an issue with your hosting, WP setup, or plugins, etc.

Nice :).

If you are using Elegant Theme’s something seems to always break on every major WordPress update :P.

Anyway I just noticed the following code:

<!--[if lt IE 9]><script src="http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script><![endif]--><style type="text/css">.recentcomments a{display:inline !important;padding:0 !important;margin:0 !important}</style><!--[if lte IE 9]><link
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.x.info/nl/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/assets/css/vc_lte_ie9.min.css?152966" media="screen"><![endif]--><!--[if IE 8]><link
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.x.info/nl/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/assets/css/vc-ie8.min.css?152966" media="screen"><![endif]-->

Did someone find a fix for that one? I am already using Chris’s example:

/*remove visual composer*/
add_action('init', 'myoverride', 100);
function myoverride() {
remove_action('wp_head', array(visual_composer(), 'addMetaData'));
}
/*remove Visual Composer CSS from “post” pages */
function dequeue_visual_composer_css() {
if (is_single()) {
wp_dequeue_style('js_composer_front');
}
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dequeue_visual_composer_css', 1003);
/*clean head */
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_generator' ) ;
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wlwmanifest_link' ) ;
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'rsd_link' ) ;
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links', 2 );
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links_extra', 3 );
/*remove 4.2 emoji*/
remove_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘print_emoji_detection_script’, 7 );
remove_action( ‘wp_print_styles’, ‘print_emoji_styles’ );

Hi Chris,

Yes i’ve tried that “mark as fixed” several times and a few days later the error comes back. So its not just ping/update conflict.

I do not believe this is a common issue as I have a friend with a different child theme and he has no problems so this is Newspaper specific.

Where would I need to search to find the log file error on my VPS?

Is this a general issue with ALL wordpress child themes when you try to update?

When you say change theme temporarily, what way in particular?

Can this be resolved?

his happens when you update the theme or change themes temporarily.

Yep. We stay on top of all best security practices, especially since we have our own web server, and ran a web hosting and ecommerce company for 10 years (1996-2005). I’m also frequently found in Twitter in the #infosec tag.

We’re also PCI-DSS certified which means our server is massively scanned for known issues on everything from php to TLS 1.1, to known exploit files. We also have Securi scanning, and all sorts of other shenanigans. 🙂

But yes, we keep on top of security. But basically don’t need to do every update to every theme just to stay up to date on features or bug fixes to stuff we don’t actually use.

Always interesting to see that other people have different views :).

I basically used the same logic to go in a completely different direction. On my older Joomla and WordPress based websites I didn’t know how to create overrides and such. The more websites I got (currently about 8 now) and the more time passed (oldest is 2008), the harder it was to remember what I did and why.

So I started to create these detailed log files to deal with that. Of course after a year I always had to search for those files because I forgot where I left those logs :P. The most annoying stuff I did was editing the style.css directly. That meant that every time I wanted to update I had to do a code comparison between files that were by definition not similar!

In the end I got fed up with “wasting” my time and invested time and effort to learn how to create overrides and unload functions for both Joomla and WordPress. Now I am glad I did because it is saving me so much time. All minor updates are now handled automatically by the server. Major versions I have to manually “order” so I can check if nothing went wrong. This is basically a 95% reduction of time I spend on maintenance.

Of course there are some downsides. It takes more effort to implement and you have the @css import, which is not SEO optimal. And yes at some point you will need to re-apply your changes on the latest files. Child themes do not make you immune to change.

Don’t forget about the importance of updating though. Last year there were some serious security exploits in a lot of themes. Years ago a leak in the Joomla upload function once resulted in a php script being uploaded that was used to send emails. Not fun :(.

Hi

This issue occurred after WordPress released V 4.4.1 but we updated the theme and now the pagination works fine. Try to update the theme at the current version available on themeforest, V2.3.5: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches and test again.
Let me know how it goes.

Thanks!

Hi

To load a different banner for a specific page you can add a condition in the file corresponding with the header style used. For example if you’re using header style 7 the file that must bee edited is header-style-7.php and the code should look like here: http://screencast.com/t/ryRhn07c25

<?php
                if (is_page(page-id)){
                    echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]');
                }
                else{
                    locate_template('parts/header/ads.php', true);
                }
                 ?>

Replace the page-id with the numeric id of the page where you want to load a different ad. To get the page id follow this link: http://screencast.com/t/9V7zgx6WK
I used custom ad 1 in this example but you can use any of the custom ads, just update the number from shortcode. Ex: for custom ad 4 the shortcode will be [td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_4"]

If you want to hide the logo on a specific page just add this condition here: http://screencast.com/t/iT9p861gnJ

 <?php
            if(!is_page(page-id)){
                locate_template('parts/header/logo.php', true);
            }
            ?>

Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!
