I turned back on Tagdiv Composer and now I’m seeing the homepage but no images.
I tried a different browsers, but still no images.
I see the picture you sent. That was great, but I’m wondering why it’s not working for me.
Update: I cleared my cache
deactivated all my plugins except for Tagdiv Composer and tagDiv Cloud Library
still no images on 3 different browsers.
If I deactivate Tagdiv Composer, I get images everywhere except on my homepage where I just get code.
Right now, I’ve activated all the other plugins again as they don’t seem to be causing the problem
Hi @anamaria ,
I never pasted it as I was waiting for the update.
Hi,
Please downgrade wordpress to version 6.0 using this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-downgrade/ after the update, the wordpress to 6.3.2 There are more files infected with malware.
Also, please check this topic https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/update-required-newspaper-12-1-1-brings-extra-security/
Thank you!
Hi,
If you want to update the theme, you should download the latest version of it from Theme Forest account and download it.
Please make a full backup to all files and database => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAJXrSI-dDA
Here you can find information about the changes that have occurred in each update over time https://tagdiv.com/newspaper/
I recommend that you update the theme manually https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ via FTP/cPanel/File Manager, also if possible disable extra plugins during the theme update to avoid any problems that may arise and make sure that you have activated the tagDiv Standard pack plugin to keep the website’s look. You can try to update the theme on a staging website.
After you update the theme, you need to update the theme plugins too.
In the worst cases, the settings in the theme panel may be lost (there have been isolated cases), in these cases, after the theme plugins that were previously used are activated, you will have to use a backup for the theme panel -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-export-theme-settings/
Also, please update the PHP version to 7.4 or 8.0
Also, if you want, you can contact our custom work team here and they can help you to update the theme safely: https://tagdiv.com/premium-customization-services/
Thank you!
Update: Installed version 12 into a staging copy of the site, it replaced version 8. Site is giving a blank home page with:
PHP Notice: Undefined index: post in /nas/content/live/[redacted]/wp-content/themes/Newspaper-child/functions.php on line 924, referer: https://[redacted]/
If I could get a copy of Version 8.7.2, that would potentially fix the security hole without requiring new work on this site. Thank you!
Hi, we purchased version 8 of Newspaper several years ago, it was purchased by an employee conner@lamproslabs.com, and I can’t reset his Themeforest password to access the updates. I just paid for a year of support with version 12, but I’m not sure about updating that much… can I get the version 8 updates somehow? Previous versions don’t show up in my downloads area. The site is being repeatedly infected by malware because of an outdated tagdiv right now. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello, we’re experiencing the redirect issue. We’ve updated all plugins, removed users, changed passwords, and removed malware code from the documents. The malware keeps reappearing. It looks like it’s tied to this https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/10/thousands-of-wordpress-sites-have-been-hacked-through-tagdiv-plugin-vulnerability/
What’s the solution?
Bettina, we are not able to use a staging plugin as the size of the website do not allow us to have a staging copy.
How can we update it? Still don’t understand it.
Keep in mind I have a developer helping me, imagine if I was without it.
How do I suppose do do it?
Please advice
Hi
We require a for the Newspaper theme. We use this theme on our website (https://www.indianlink.com.au/), and we use a simple app provided by AIM (https://www.thisisaim.com/) to deliver the articles of our website to our customers. The app can be found on the Apple or Play store and is called: Indian Link.
The app functions by pulling the Featured Image, Title, and Post content from a WordPress post using RSS, and delivering it to the app as an article to be tapped on. When tapped, the app diverts the user to the URL of that article.
We have discussed functionality with the app developer, and asked if any custom XML or PHP is required to make this function, but they have assured (and even showcased using a brand new WordPress installation), that the Featured Image, Title and Content pulls to the app without any additional plugins or changes to a standard WordPress installation.
Sadly, when the Newspaper theme is turned ON, the Title and the Content is pulled through, but the Featured Image is not. The image that appears in the app, is a default “fallback” image that has been set up in the AIM backend. If we turn the theme OFF, the featured images feed through to the app successfully.
At one stage, we had a programmer add this line of code to the bottom of the functions.php file, contained within: public_html/wp-content/themes/newspaper
// Add the 'media' namespace to the RSS feed
function custom_rss_namespace() {
echo 'xmlns:media=http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/ ';
}
add_action('rss2_ns', 'custom_rss_namespace');
// Add the media:thumbnail to the RSS feed
function custom_rss_media_thumbnail() {
global $post;
if (has_post_thumbnail($post->ID)) {
$thumbnail = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'full');
$thumbnail_url = $thumbnail[0];
echo '<media:thumbnail url="' . esc_url($thumbnail_url) . '" />';
}
}
add_action('rss2_item', 'custom_rss_media_thumbnail');
It seemed to work, and the Featured Images began feeding correctly to the app. However as soon as there was a theme update, this file was overridden, and readding the same code did not result in the same outcome.
We’re in search of a permanent solution here, that would withstand future theme updates. I believe that there must be something in the Newspaper theme files that actively alters the original state of Featured Images, causing the app to not be able to find the image it is looking for when drawing from the RSS feed. If you use any online RSS viewer (example:https://rss.app/feed/y0F9FOXcarlvA9HX?utm_source=rssviewer&utm_medium=website), you will see that the featured images also do not appear.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Hello,
I have restored the old backup and the cloud templates work fine now. This issue occurred because of a theme upgrade from 12.6 to 12.6.1. You can check it with the login details.
Before updating the theme –
– Page design layout showing properly- All Cloud Templates Accessible
Break the design layout – After updating the theme
– Page and Post ( Cloud templates are not used for this )
Can you let me know the solution that I need to apply for this If I update the theme?
Hi,
Please activate the tagdiv social counter plugin. Usually, if your website is displayed shortcodes, then you need to make sure you have also, updated and activated the plugins that you use.
Thank you!
Hi,
Please activate the tagdiv standard pack plugin and clear the cache.
Please downgrade wordpress to version 6.0 using this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-downgrade/ after the update, the wordpress to 6.3.2 There are more files infected with malware.
Also, please check this topic https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/update-required-newspaper-12-1-1-brings-extra-security/

I have a website that has not been getting new content in a while now due to shifted directions. However it keeps getting injected with spam news posts. I have identified the newspaper theme as the root cause. I have updated to newspaper 12 and this is problematic. On pages:

How do I fix this error (other than disabling the composer plugin, which breaks the main menu).
Hello!
Let only the tagdiv plugins be used, and uninstall any other plugin.
I would gladly recommend you make a backup and update plugins and the theme via file transfer to the latest update: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Let us know about the problems you have after the update.
Thank you!
Hello Paolo!
Yes, you can use a staging plugin, so you won’t ruin your website.
We updated the theme in order to accomplish all the queries from our clients. That’s why the theme has become a big one with a lot of functions and features for everyone.
We wanted to create the easiest platform, so you can build your website without knowing any code and have the possibility to customize every field from any demo.
Thank you!
I have tried everything and also updated the theme with the latest version but it does not work for me.
I still can’t access the cloud templates.
Hello @rockman008 !
We have 3 options for mobile versions that you can use:
1. Responsive version: A responsive version of your website looks similar to the desktop version. TagDiv Composer is used to edit the page.Click on the mobile viewport: https://www.screencast.com/t/XDQJedlggSB. There, you can see your mobile version and edit or adjust the elements to look better.
2. Mobile pages: https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-10-3-7-update-brings-customizable-and-fast-mobile-pages
3. Mobile theme plugin: The Mobile Theme is a performance-optimized theme included in the main Newspaper theme that only loads on mobile devices. It comes with its own templates and designs for pages, posts, categories, etc., so your current templates from the desktop theme will get converted to the mobile theme layout. Please see https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/ and https://forum.tagdiv.com/mobile-theme-introduction/ for more information.
A full explanation is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpGkOnJeNZY
If you need to use mobile version 1 or 2, then you need to uninstall the Mobile Theme plugin and AMP.
You can add the ad box element in the tagdiv Composer and add the code there in the mobile viewport. Read all about it here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/ads-adsense-overview/
Thank you!
Thanks, Bettina.
It means we need to redesign the header footer I guess.
The website has a lot of traffic and how can we handle this smoothly? Do we need a staging site?
How is possible, that the update of your theme is such complex? You didn’t consider this?
Hello Paolo!
If you updated the theme to the latest version, then you need to activate the Standard Pack plugin in order to have all the default templates available.
We recommend using cloud/PRO templates in order to have the possibility to edit them with the TagDiv Composer, which contains a lot of functions and features. Please check out our tutorial here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
More documentation about the cloud templates is here:
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloud-library-templates/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-cloud-library-templates/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloud-library-category-templates/
You can redesign the website using the tagdiv Composer, or import the cloud template you like from the Cloud Library, or install an entire demo (without content) with design only.
You can reproduce this block as well using Flex Block 1 for example: https://prnt.sc/CKfblif2FWAJ
Thank you!
Hello!
I can see that you have a lot of errors in the console. Make a test and deactivate ALL plugins except tagDiv ones, also if you are using a cache plugin, deactivate it, clear all cache and try again.

Hi,
I do have a problem updating the Theme. Here is the website: https://evergreenseeds.com/
I have an old version and the theme has not been updated since 2019, when I proceed with the update all get messed up.
-Is there a way we can use the same header and footer in the updated theme? These seem to be the parts harder to replicate.
For example, how to replicate the “Header style” and “Footer Templates” in the latest theme version?
– Also there are some blocks not available in the tag div composer plugin’s latest version. We were using those blocks in our Homepage.
Thanks, Paolo
Hello @javid!
First of all, please make sure you have a backup done and then you can update the theme and the TagDiv plugins also.
Our developers are aware of this issue and try to synthesize the composer, which is big, and fix the major problems of the theme and speed.
A cache plugin doesn’t help much with page speed.
Please note that page speed or optimization is not covered by the support team: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-support/
Thank you for understanding!
Hello!
We can take a look if you want. But if you fixed all the issues from the update, then with which other problem can we help?
Thank you!
