Hi Beldar,
I see that you use some custom ads, just add a div container like for the sidebar ad – http://screencast.com/t/2HuTMfUqrBdX Those div containers from documentation are not only for siderbar ad, you can use them also for custom ad, article ads(top, inline, bottom)…
If you don’t want to do this just paste this css code in Theme Panel > Custom Css, it will add margin bottom for all custom ads(like it was before update) – http://screencast.com/t/0HDDa5yH0
.td-a-rec-id-custom_ad_1, .td-a-rec-id-custom_ad_2, .td-a-rec-id-custom_ad_3, .td-a-rec-id-custom_ad_4, .td-a-rec-id-custom_ad_5 {
margin-bottom: 48px;
}
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks!
It would be extremely helpful if in the next update you could add Facebook video embeds as part of the featured video and image on posts. I’m in the process of working on it and I’d be happy to share when I finish if you haven’t already added it to the update.
It’s in the file download.
I think the only change is Visual Composer updated to security issue with VC.
Most themes which auto update in WP use either a theme foundry plugin; or can be updated due to being in the WordPress theme repository (e.g., free themes).
Most commercial themes on ThemeForest and commercial plugins don’t have an “auto update” feature, and generally this is a BAD idea — for example, if people had done auto update from NP4 to NP6, and woken up to find their site broken, that would not have been good.
Similarly some plugins may change settings and require workarounds and/or a perfect example is Yoast who “updated” their old wp meta plugin, by disabling it without telling people it would disable it, even though it still worked. Then printed message on screen – “we’ve discontinued this plugin, please upgrade to Yoast SEO” — well, on one site we didn’t want to do that and had to revert to the original meta plugin. Ouch!
Envato tried to build a theme updater for their themes and you can certainly try that. But often it’s best to review the changelog and see what changed so that you don’t wipe your child theme changes if there is major child theme update, or reset your home page if VC changes, etc.
For example an auto updater today might update the entire theme by deleting old folder and any customizations, and upload new one; when only thing changed was Visual Composer update for security issue. So, today only update it the VC plugin which can be done manually via FTP.
So, while it sounds like a good idea — in practice, it’s really not that advisable.
Hope that made sense — not trying to be contrary, just some feedback from using WP for 10 years and having a lot of cock ups from “auto updates” — we turn them ALL off for our sites due to too many site crashes in middle of the night without warning, or CPU spikes crashing entire box due to a bad plugin (e.g., YOAST, often has major bugs every damn dot upgrade then rushes out 3 rounds of “oops” fixes…. seriously… never install that on “new dot upgrade” — it’s a bad bad idea!). 🙂
It seems to be [ Version 2.2.1 ]
– improvement: updated visual composer to the latest version due to security issues with the plugin on it’s ajax calls
Your screencasts don’t work anymore. I want to know how to remove the date, can you update this please?
Hi,
That is because just visual composer was updated due to security issues with the previous version. No other changes were made. You can update only the visual composer plugin with the file provided and your content will remain unchanged.
Thank you!
UPDATED: I did a test with your code and it did worked very well.
Thank very much.
Updated to the second version. Button shortcodes in the editor, but not in Kodak quite a bit. How to fix it?
Hey, I got a mail that there is a update available. Is this version 2.3? I read nothing here and at the themeforest website about and update. Should I update with the new version?
Thank you!
Hello,
We are fairly new to the Newspaper 6 theme. We were just notified from Themeforest.net the theme needs to be downloaded and updated.
That process seems a bit out dated considering so many themes and plugins allow for an automated update from within WP Admin. Those requiring licenses do so by having the license entered into the theme in WP Admin to allow for this to happen.
I could not find anything for WP Admin updates in the support forum. Does Newspaper 6 have a WP Admin update option?
Hello
just notified by themeforest that there is new 6.5.1 now
[ Version 6.5.1 ]
– improvement: updated visual composer to the latest version due to security issues with the plugin on it’s ajax calls
we have downloaded but only see patch from 6.4 to 6.5.1, could you possibly provide 6.5 to 6.5.1 patch?
thanks
Hi,
We have implemented the like button from a fb plugin – https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-button and it should work properly, to have the same number of likes also on facebook. That like button uses the link of the current post and it increments like for it so it should show the total likes you have for that post. The counter is handled by facebook, so please wait a while maybe there is a Facebook error and it takes some time to update like’s number.
Thanks!
Hi,
The updates are provided by us via the theme package, we try to deliver the latest versions with each update. The plugins are located in the ../Newspaper-tf/plugins folder – http://screencast.com/t/2Ri75hQV
There you will find the latest version: http://screencast.com/t/YSRJmjnCj5Zi
You can add it from here: http://screencast.com/t/hqRpY7td
If you already have created sliders and do not want to lose them, you should:
1. export your current sliders before you update
2. delete the current plugin and install the latest version
3. import the sliders saved on step one
For more details please check their official documentation – http://www.themepunch.com/faq/update-plugin-packaged-theme/
I hope this helps.
Thank you!

You need to update the Social Counter plugin from Newspaper-th/plugins/td-social-counter path, also you can install the plugin using theme’s panel: http://screencast.com/t/3DQmj3Kp
Thanks!
I purchased your theme a few days ago. The Slider Revolution that came with it is version 4.6.93 show in the plugins folder.
In a September 18th post on your support forum, a Tagdiv member said:
“Revolution Slider and Visual Composer come with bulk license, this means that the plugins can only be distributed with the theme and only we can provide updates for them. You cannot update them directly from their developer”
Slider Revolution’s site says the latest version is: 5.0.6
How do I get the updated version?
Thank you
Hi Alin,
Thanks for the reply. It was a clean update. This error was due to the file included in “td_templates_settings.php on line 3”. It happened in linux as it is case sensitive. Included file was referred as “MetaBox.php” instead of “metabox.php”

From the above linked page:
•We provide updates on a regular basis, after we test the plugin for theme compatibility we include it in the latest theme update, inside the ../plugins folder
So, presumably that means that TagDiv will include the updated version of the VC plugin in the next update once the version is fully tested as compatible and without major bugs. Just because something is updated doesn’t always mean that you need to update it to use it.
I don’t work here, just some food for thought.
A good place to start with Newsmag is with the theme docs; see right side of page; this covers things like the tested-bundled version of Visual Composer:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
hi
i just purchased and downloaded Newsmag and the version of Visual Composer that is included is v4.6.2.
According to this post:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/fb-not-sharing-post-featured-image-or-post-title/
there is a newer version, but i don’t see any way to update my current version
this page says to upload the newest version from the theme plugins, but that is what i already did:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
i am having trouble getting the FB page plugin to work
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/page-plugin
the strange thing is that it shows up in the admin in Visual Composer, but not on the frontend page
thanks
@meremetia
we’re using the theme across multiple news portals without those features which are very minor elements of the theme, frankly. However, the suggestion was there to help debug WHAT was causing CPU usage for that person — and what might have been causing that many versions back in June, vs October are two completely different animals. v6 of the theme is very different from v4, and also VC has been updated and tweaked quite a bit since then.
In your case – were you just commenting, or did you yourself actually have a CPU issue — you didn’t specify if the problem impacts you, or you were just editorializing.
oh my god!!
I run an update script, and it works!!
sorry for the inconvenience! 😀
ufffff
If this problem persists… i will restore a backup… I can never update the theme…
If i change the “Home” page, the problem dissapears, but all my configuration dissapears too…
🙁
