Hello,
I’m not sure how you skipped files. Please follow this guide to make sure you updated the theme corectly and also try to install visual composer again: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
If the plugin still does not work after you follow all the steps in the guides, please try to disable all your plugins except visual composer and clear cache to rule out a plugin conflict.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks.
Hi Bogdan,
I’ve already tried disabling Photon and its fixed Block2 but made no difference to the staic banner.
As you suggested i’ll leave it turned off until there’s an update.
Can you advise on how to clear Cache and CDN, or do you have a link that details how to do this.
Thanks for the quick response!
Regards,
Dave
Hello,
Unfortunately we have no easy solution to provide and time does not allow us to provide any custom work at the moment as we are a small team and we are working hard on development, updates, fixes and support. You can maybe find a solution online for your customization or you can maybe hire a freelancer to help out o this task.
Thank you for your understanding.
Hello there, in your blog where you talking about the 6.6 update you are saying:
This Newspaper 6.6 update brings some major under the hood improvements in preparation for a bigger update.
I wonder when that “bigger update” is going to be released?
I’m just asking because i have a heavily customized site still running on wp 4.3 which requires some effort to be updated. My two considerations is:
to update to wp 4.4
and
to update to your latest newspaper theme
So, i m planning to wait a couple of weeks to see if 4.4 is proven secure and i would like to know your plans for that “bigger update” so i can maybe wait some more time to do a complete wp4.4 + your theme update.
If you don’t have any information about when that “bigger update” is going to be released then i’ll just do my complete update whenever i think 4.4 is “mature”.
So, if you have any guess for that “bigger update” release time it will be very helpfull for me 😀
Thank you guys!
Hi Bogdan,
Thanks. I’ve already tried disabling all plugins but that didn’t work either. Can only think the problem lies with 6.6 update. Can you please tell me how I can revert to version before 6.6?
Also I found that when I changed to a different theme post snippets worked ok.
Thanks
An update:- I’ve commented the gradient div html code. Now it looks as expected.
Thanks!
Hello finanztip,
Unfortunately, we do not have a specific guide to “How to create custom template” because to achieve this are required more knowledge of hard-coding and also, custom work. I suggest you make use of a child theme if you want to have a custom template on your website because, on the next update, all the code will be overwritten. You should create a custom templates using API. More details about this way can find in our documentation, here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-theme-api/
In this section we will present the new theme API system which brings theme customization to a new level and allows users to modify or add new elements like single templates, smart lists, thumbs, modules, blocks, header styles, category templates, footer templates.
If you are not aware of steps which you should follow to achieve this, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to do this thing for you, because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry!
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you!
Ok, i found solution:

thank you!
Hello Lewis,
I’ve checked your site and I saw that you use and old version of Newsmag (1.5). First of all, please try to disable all the active plugins and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme. You should update to your Visual Composer to ultimate version (4.8.1). After this changes, if your problem is still there, please try to update your theme to ultimate version (2.3.2).
Before to update, please backup the whole current theme installation as well as the database and wp install: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
After this, you can use the ftp method from theme’s update guide to uploading theme’s files and remove the previous theme files before uploading the most recent ones then test this again and let us know how it goes.
You can find a video tutorial on how to do this in theme’s update guide here: http://screencast.com/t/jNFnYQ0ONo – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/
Thank you for the message!
I have a plug that allows for visitors to vote for a yes/no question, but since the update, the images that it displays are not being presented correctly. I have reached out to the WordPress community and the plugin author and the consensus is that something in the theme is overwriting the settings for them.
As you can see in this image: http://screencast.com/t/DIy89AQVqo, the Yes/No buttons are stacked on top of one another. However, they should be shown side by side.
Any ideas on how I can fix this? Here is a posting that has those buttons: http://aftercredits.com/2015/12/krampus-2015/
Our copies of Newsmag working perfectly post 4.4 update — just as some feedback to all.
Your setup will vary.

You get the updates by logging into your account at Themeforest, and then the updates will be on your “downloads” tab (link top right of page with account on TF).
Hi,
I recently did an upgrade to the latest version of theme and I’ve updated visual composer also.
After that, I can’t use page builder in the backend. The visual composer is working, on frontend all elements are there, but in the backend, VC is not loaded.
Which theme files exactly are important for VC to work? (Maybe I skipped some)
Regads,
Ivan

Hi guys,
is there a guide, how to create custom templates for e.g. the blogs and posts chapter?
For testing I copied an existing template M12 and made my changes. But I’m not sure, if I got all things or if a new version update of the newsmag template break my changes.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Are you by any chance using the photon feature? or maybe the update activated it. This feature of jetpack is known to cause errors with our theme so please disable it.
If the photon feature is disabled and the problem is still there, you can try to disable all other plugins except visual composer and jetpack and clear your cache (and cdn if you use it) to rule out a plugin conflict.
Thanks.
Hi,
There will be an update for the Revolution Slider in the near future.
Thank you!
disabling plugins etc was a total waste of time.
@Catalin Applied the patch that you posted here https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/problem-in-category-pages-after-wp-4-4-update/
and it worked. The pagination is working fine now. Thanks.
Hi,
Please make sure you update your theme and use the latest version of the social counter. The old one will not work anymore. Make sure you have the app key option in your social counter and then use the method above to get the key and insert it in the plugin settings. Please note that this is not a live count. If there is a connection problem the counter could go to 0 and then get your followers again when it refreshes. You can refresh it manually as kstockl suggested above.
Thank you!
Hello,
In order to have this option you will need to update your theme to the latest version. The option was introduced in version 6.6 of our theme. Please follow this link to update your theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and also update the visual composer plugin: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thank you!
Hi Emil G, I was also looking for the same solution but the link you have provided does not seem to work ( takes me to themeforest homepage).
Can you please update the link or write the reply here.
Hello,
We did some tests on our theme and developers have found that there is a problem with pagination on category pages if you do not use a Big Grid. We have a quick solution for this problem. You have to alter and replace a part of the code with this: http://pastebin.com/gGHDaB2g , like this: http://screencast.com/t/VTA7WyDf7gT . Another workaround would be to use some Grids in your category pages.
We are sorry for the inconvenience and will improve in the future updates.
Hope this helps!
Thank you!
Hello,
If we release a new version of newspaper in the future there will not be as many problems on the update process as updating from 4 to 6. We will probably not change the whole code again. Updates are a certain thing. We always try to improve our theme, but it does not mean we will start from scratch every time we release a new version.
Thank you!
Hi,
Since updating to 6.6.1 my post snippets plugin doesn’t show on posts – just the shortcode.
Any idea what the fix is? Otherwise how do I revert to 6.6?
Thanks
Derek
this is after automatic update to 4,4
