Hello,
in the past this worked. However now (maybe because of some update the files got rewritten), I tried to put again the values as shown in (http://screencast.com/t/HHQV9KFc2) for excluding categories from posts, but they don’t seem to have any effect.
As I see this is in the speed-booster location. I have enabled speedbooster and it seems to be working in the system status (Speed Booster i v4.1 – Active)
Hello Timo,
Please make sure you type in just the username of the Instagram account, not the whole URL.
Also make sure your profile has the visibility set to public, otherwise the social counter will not be able to get information from it. http://smallbusiness.chron.com/change-instagram-profile-private-public-77852.html
You can try one more thing: change the Instagram user with another (you can use coca cola’s for ex: http://screencast.com/t/ZLpRPoP4zP0 ) the counter should update now and the right number of follows should appear and then you can switch back to your own user having the right number of followers.
If after these steps the problem is still there, please send an email to contact@tagdiv.com and provide your login information so we can take a look and figure out a solution. Also include a link to this topic so we know who you are and what the issue is.
Thank you!
Really appreciate you pass it to the developers and I will be looking forward to this update!
Hi
Thanks for reporting this, I’ve added it on our issue tracker and and we will fix it in the next theme updates.
Thanks for the message!
Hello Kim,
Make sure you have the latest version of the theme first. If not you can follow our theme update tutorial here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Then you can find the file here: newspaper->includes->wp_booster->td_module_single_base.php
If you want to apply it to post style 2, just change the ‘single_template_11’ from the code and replace with ‘single_template_2’.
Thank you!
Hi
Please make sure that you install the theme according with our guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/installation-newsmag/ Note that you need to unzip the folder downloaded from themeforest and upload the Newsmag.zip file from: Newsmag-tf.zip\Newsmag-tf Also you need to update the plugins from /plugins path. Before the update process make sure you deactivate all plugins and clear all caches.
This could also happen due to your server configuration, so if the process fails again you should also contact your host provider and let him know about this.
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks!
Hi,
That happens because the setting you currently use has been changed in the latest update. It’s enough to go to theme panel >categories and set the category template: http://screencast.com/t/Z2EDhO18khuK make sure you clear the cache, purge cdn file if you’re using and test again.
Thanks!
Hello Sejpost,
Visual composer was updated in our latest version (6.5) If you have version 6.4 or lower, we recommend updating the theme and visual composer as well.
Thank you.
I have updated the VC and I’m still unable to utilize and/or view
Well, thank you for writing such a good update script!
I made a duplicate site since it was going to be so hard to rebuild the site with a new theme. Then having built the copy of the site and imported the old database, I thought, why not give the updtae script a go.
The bad thing was that when I imported the database to the duplicate siteI did not change the site url. Dumb mistake. So when I told the update script to make its changes I was in fact on the live site not the duplicate.
The good news was that the script worked. Well done.
I had to open each page and change the template, I had to put widgets back in a few sidebars. In 10 minutes I had the site working again.
Thanks so much.
So for anyone else:
The update script works for update from version 3.8 to 6.
My site only had about 10 pages
Posts on my site all looked much the same.
I had some custom css for integrating plugins to the theme.
In other words my site was not doing anything dramatic or different.
Pages need their template choices checked/redone.
Widgets in sidebars need to be reset, 3rd party plugins will be missing.
Custom css needs to be copied over as well I guess.
Cheers
Miriam
If I have version 6, do I need to update visual composer?
Hi Alin
Your latest update suggesting installing JetPack.
It was JetPack’s setting that was causing the problems. I unchecked the social media and related posts options and it was back to normal.
Thanks for your reply.

Hi,
When you update the theme files will be overwritten and you need to re-add your custom modifications to the files.
Using the child theme you can add the modifications there, off course for the supported files, this is an alternative to have to modifications also after you update the theme in future.
Thanks!
Hello Miriam,
We have not tested if it will work, as version 3.8 is a bit old and we only tested updating from version 4.
You could try to update to 4 and then follow our update guide(make sure to back-up), but our suggestion is to delete the old version, install the new one, and rebuild your site without using the script.
Newspaper 6 is a whole new theme that is released for free for all of our existing customers so an update to version 6 may cause the same issues as switching to another theme (but we did try to maintain compatibility where ever possible).
Always make a full backup of your current installation – https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups and then do a clean update, meaning that we recommend that you delete the old version of the theme before uploading the new one – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ also update the plugins that come with the theme files from the /plugins folder. Also you have to update the child theme if you use it, please note that old files customization or custom css will not work with the new version and you will have to adjust and re-add them.
Bottom line is that newspaper 6 is a whole new theme built from scratch.
Hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi
First you will need a function in td_block.php file http://screencast.com/t/W6v8IQZdCXCC which redirect the user to the category page when the button is clicked, then you need to call that function in every block used, instead of ajax pagination: http://screencast.com/t/PpVkPZCpVI4 Also you may need some css code for the button’s layout.
This changes requires lots of customization and unfortunately we cannot offer custom work as we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support. You can look for a freelancer from sites like: http://studio.envato.com/ if you don’t know how to do it yourself.
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
I have problem with compatibility of visual composer with the theme.
Everything goes fine, i was configure the home page with visual composer, and after a page save, the home page break up and goes with full width without reason.
Its seems visual composer lost the margins of boxed version!
I was delete everything, and setup everything again, but in second time, with another reason, when i insert a new article, after the save, the home page(which use visual composer) breaks again.
The other pages who don’t use visual composer working fine.
You can see the screenshots below:
1)Home Page – Use visual composer: http://www.screencast.com/t/qliMz7Opgo
2)Single Article page with sidebar: http://www.screencast.com/t/LuEKVbgCeLb
Can you check that?Do you have any update of theme or visual composer to fix that bug?
Thanks.
Will the script for older versions work for 3.8? Should I update to 4 first (if so where can I download it).
Cheers
Miriam
Hi,
Did you updated the Visual Composer plugin? Deactivate and delete the Visual Composer, then install it from here – http://screencast.com/t/NeIrAMKdm3 Let me know how it goes!
Thanks!
Hi,
Please provide your site url so I can check it using fb debugger and take a look to the og meta data.
Also note that it may take a while for fb to update the meta data and make sure you test this using just Visual Composer and SEO by Yoast active(make sure you activate og – http://screencast.com/t/vjuFXaJNPoVA ). What version of Visual Composer you use? The latest version provided with the theme is 4.7.1.1.
Thanks!
Try resaving permalinks, turning off any new plugins — if something “suddenly” stops working, it usually comes from a plugin update that no longer “plays nice” — a caching issue, or issue with CDN/similar.
Try
a) resave permalinks
b) clear any/all caching
c) turn off all plugins except Visual Composer.
See what happens.
Might or might not help. I’ve also found naming the static home page something other than “home” works better, like “homepager” since the static page isn’t supposed to be seen by anyone — it’s just for building the page which gets loaded by the theme as the default home; so nobody should be going to yoursite.zz/nameofhomepage
Hi
I’ve noticed that you’re using an older version of the theme, so please try to update it an the current version available on themeforest (V2.2) which corresponds with google standards regarding the data structure demo
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hi Hash,

Hope this helps!

Hi,
It is hard to say if that is the problem but we always recommend the latest version of our theme. Update your theme and only activate the visual composer plugin.If the problem is still there you can check if it is not a WordPress related problem. Switch to a WordPress standard theme and check the widgets menu again.
Let us know how it goes.
