Update 2: Further investigations into the matter revealed that images are not loaded when I place the below code in Tagdiv Speed Booster Plugin to move scripts and styles to the footer.
soccer-engine/index.php
So, everything works fine when Speed Booster Plugin is in disabled state.

Update: Big Grid is working now. It collapsed because latest post did not have Featured Image attached. However, image loading issue still exists with plugin activated.
Thanks
Hi lfsantana,
Please try to disable all the plugins and reinstall that comes with the theme and not other ones. After this, check if your problem is still there….it can be a plugin conflict. If the problem is still there, please let me know and also provide a URL site so can inspect it closer.
Here is the guide on how to update the plugin – https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Hi
Try to deactivate all plugins, clear all caches then activate only Visual Composer and test again. Also make sure that you also update the plugin from the same path with the theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Good point. It’s strange.
I went back to yesterday at 11 AM (server backup) ….as I didn’t lose my Theme Panel settings until maybe 2 or 3 AM today.
Didn’t do the complete database backup though. Just going to re-do the settings.
I’m thinking it has to be the Auto Theme update.
Is 1.7.1 the newest NewsMag update?
Thanks.
I was under the impressions auto updates were off.
Do have regular backups.
Did NOT use the backup from the export in theme panel (screwed).
Good idea to turn OFF automatic updates on WordPress.
Good idea to make regular backups so you can easily restore site if something odd happens.
Good idea to backup theme settings from the export option in theme panel.
If you’re using a caching service or plugin, you might try deactivating that in case the service you’re using crashed.
Not much help at this point, I know, but all of the above are good ideas.
Obviously nobody can help you put things back how they were, but disabling automatic updates, removing unused themes and plugins, check for issues with plugins before updating (like YOAST had major bugs with new 3.0 update), etc.
TagDiv will likely have some thoughts, but the theme cannot magically kill itself in the middle of the night — only a plugin, core update, cache/service change, host crash, or hack can do that.
My entire website is messed up. My theme panel settings have been reset to default, all of the post pages were going to an error screen (until my server helped me fix that).
Basically, I have NO IDEA why overnight the entire theme went wacky and went back to default settings. What’s funny is although they’re now default, the home screen still shows my custom settings. But when a post page is clicked on, everything is default.
Somebody please help. thanks. I’m running version 1.7.1. I’m not sure if that’s the newest one or not….but I never updated the theme myself manually.
Thanks,
Hi! I want to update my installation from 4 to 6. Is it possible to make a test install in a sort of beta directory on the server. Copy all files to that folder and update the theme there… and then when all problems are fixed move everything to the original folder?
Or will this give problems with the database?

I can confirm that update to 2.3 and 2.3.1 was absolute nightmare. I get the same errors as @awtown. It is too risky for me to update, and I am staying with 2.2.
Hi,
I recently updated the site, my visual composer plugin is installed and activated, however when I go to edit a page i can now only view the text editor. When I click on visal nothing happens, and the visual composer editor is gone.
My site still looks the same I just cannot edit it.
Please help!
Hi, Visual Composer Not working on my site when I update Yoast SEO v3.0.2 please say how to solve this problem.
Yoast has now updated to v3.0.2. I have found this corrects some problems I was having (I can now select sidebars, post styles, etc. which I couldn’t before), but it still doesn’t seem to want to play properly.
Doesn’t like Visual Composer, doesn’t save titles or meta descriptions and the SEO analysis seems broken. I may need to keep on clearing the caches, but so far it doesn’t seem to be helping.
Maybe the inevitable v3.0.3 will sort it out…
Hi David,
I’ve checked your site and noticed the linkedin sharing issues however I’m not sure how this happens, I see you already use Yoast which adds the necessary open graph tags however those informations aren’t picked up.
This could also happen if you have any security modules active or if you have any rules preventing linkedin sharer to grad the necessary informations from your site. I’ve tried to update the informations but had no effect so I believe this may be the case for you, check this discussion and check your configuration for anything similar: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17083967/linkedin-share-doesnt-show-any-info-just-the-main-url-of-our-website
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Hi
That message appear because you’re using an outdated version of Social Counter. Try to delete the old version of the plugin and install the new one included in theme’s path (/plugins folder)
When you update the theme we always recommend to update the plugins included in theme’s path.
Thanks!
Hi awtown,
We’re sorry for all the difficulties you face concerning this, like Andrei also stated we do our best to make the update process as well as theme’s administration and its configuration as simple as possible unfortunately due to some fixes would needed implemented the child theme has also been updated but to update it you will not need to overwrite all your modifications, it’s enough to just replace the code you now have in your child theme functions file: http://screencast.com/t/vOMJX9yIaxMv with the one from latest theme’s version: http://screencast.com/t/PydUD7zO3E and make sure you do this after you update the theme.
I’m not aware to which files you made customizations using the child theme but you also have to make sure your changes can still be applied to files now present on latest theme version that’s why you have to check each theme update change log and make sure that among the modified files there aren’t any of the files you have customized and if there are make sure your customizations can still be done to those files and update those files code and add it customizations. So 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/
All themes update logs and modified files can be found on theme’s product page on themeforest: http://themeforest.net/item/newsmag-news-magazine-newspaper/9512331 ( down the page ) and/or on theme’s blog: http://tagdiv.com/blog/ – starring with 2.2 update each update has an specific article which contains all informations about the update.
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.
Again! We’re sorry for the inconvenience!
Thanks!

Hi,
I purchased Magazin Theme in 2013 and I’ve never been able to update it since. I know it’s a little bit late but the website is still online and gets lots of trafic : http://la-rem.eu
How can I update the theme to the latest version ?
Thank you for your response
Jack
Hello,
Please understand that your version of the theme is very old. We are now at version 6.5.1. Lots of plugins were updated and even wordpress was updated since then and we cannot assure the old theme functionality with the new versions of plugins/wordpress. The current version of the theme has improved a significant amount from the version you are using and the code was changed radically. It is basically a new theme from the one you are using. We will however do our best to help you and possibly come up with a solution but we cannot guarantee an update will not be required.
Please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide a link to your website and your login credentials so we can take a look. Please provide a link to this topic as well so we know who you are and what the problem is.
Thank you!
Hello,
I tested the gallery myself and it seems to behave like that even on a WP default theme. The responsiveness and positioning comes from the visual composer plugin. It calculates them based on the image sizes. You will have to use different sizes for your images to fit the screen properly.
I will add this issue on our list of updates and we will try in future versions of our theme to implement a few responsive options for these VC elements.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thank you!
Somebody going to the index page in your theme folder is not normal, so that isn’t a significant error related to other issues. That isn’t a site page or anything a normal person should go to, but it sometimes gets triggered when doing updates.
Might want to
a) scan site for security issues
b) reinstall WordPress and all plugins
c) switch to default theme temporarily
d) install clean version of theme
e) retest
There’s been a number of modifications made to the child theme on our site.
So if I read your message correctly, you’re saying that to update to the new version the child theme needs to be replaced and the modifications from the previous version will likely be lost.
Fabulous!
I generally like your theme, but after this wonderful update process, we’ll probably be moving on.
Yeah… I usually wait a couple of days for new full dot versions of YOAST, as they have totally crashed my site a couple of times. They seem to push the new version out then use the customer base as the beta testers, then they do 1-4 updates, then it’s good to go.
With them moving so much to Ajax/JavaScript there is already a ton of things happening in the admin panel with JavaScript, so it’s going to cause some major funky things as it’s totally different how they’re actually doing stuff. Probably need to go through and resave every option panel in YOAST 3x to be safe (as had to be done in couple of older versions).
We’re upgrading to a ‘pro’ license with them soon, so we can report goofy stuff and get reply.
Color me paranoid!! 🙂

The all new version of YOAST may have some bugs; hence the inevitable 3.01 dot update and likely further dot updates from Yoast. Likely good to go BACK to prior version for the moment.
New version of Yoast using various JavaScript things now in place of dbase things.
Likely major clearing of caches/CDN reset will be required.
I just updated Yoast SEO to latest version 3.0.1 and I had NewsMag 2.3 version installed, but theme crashed. So I updated theme to the latest version 2.3.1, but the theme still doesn’t work.
The problem is visible when I want to add new post to my site. I don’t see buttons on “text” menu, I can’t switch to “Visual” menu. I can’t insert tags (the button for tags doesn’t work). The button “Add media” also not working.
I deactivated Yoats SEO plugin and everything works, but with plugin is not working!!!
I also updated Yoast SEO to latest version 3.0.1 on site where I use Newspaper theme 6.5.1 and there I have no problems. Everything is working. Only NewsMag theme doesn’t work with latest Yoast plugin.
Can you help me?
