Thanks, I tried with some plugins but no luck. Maybe good to include in future updates or some documentation step-by-step as I am sure this would be something other will like it.
Hi,
Glad that it works! I will add this on suggestions list and the developers will that it in considerations for future updates, unfortunately for version 6 of the theme they took decision to not implement this for blocks/modules. But like I said we will consider to re-add this in a future update.
Thanks!
Hi,
Sorry for delay! We answer to the most oldest topics so if you add a new reply we get later to your topic.
1. We removed the quotes shortcodes, we use html with classes now. The quotes are not updated by the script, sorry. We tried to add them but on some cases there was a chance for errors to appear an we decided to not include them in the script.
Try to add the following code at the end of the functions.php file – http://screencast.com/t/OWxqEsYVK – http://pastebin.com/NZEJsWQZ
2. There is an option to change the blockquote color in Theme Panel > Theme Colors – http://screencast.com/t/GaVyoCu2xcU
3. You can change the hover color using custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css – http://screencast.com/t/1BPyH3KM
.td-trending-now-wrapper:hover .td-trending-now-title {
background-color: red;
}
4. You can change the general color for post content links using custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css – http://screencast.com/t/26hujdCrvc
.td-post-content a {
color: red;
}
Also you can add manually a color to your link(s) just edit the post select the link and add the color – http://screencast.com/t/3nfN9nIS0R
5. If you refer to the panel options for page content – http://screencast.com/t/T1GXLsNq1 please note that these options will not affect any page template created using pagebuilder(Visual Composer). Please provide a link and more details about what you are trying to do.
6. Do you refer to the lazy load effect? you can remove it from Theme Panel > Template Settings – http://screencast.com/t/dg4jDDqg7oI
Thanks!
Hi,
Please try to update the Visual Composer plugin I see that you use an old version. The latest version of the plugin provide with the theme files is 4.6.2 please check this guide to update – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Then check your site again on Safari and see if you still have this issue(check this like I said above without any plugins active, just VC) also clear cache.
I have checked your site on Safari and you have this issue with the menu item, but I could not find exactly the cause, I suspect that it is a plugin as this is not happening on our demo – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ If you still have this issue please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-access so we can take a look, also paste a link to this topic so we can know who you are and what your issue is.
Thanks!
Thanks. I had it updated to 3000, saved my setting again – and everything works again. Thanks for the excellent support!
Hello all!
I’m trying to figure out how to change the categories that are linked to in the main nav (newspaper theme). I’ve deleted the default categories, created my own. Here’s what I’m currently seeing: http://d.pr/i/123hL
Is there somewhere in the admin area that main nav links can be updated? Or should I be looking somewhere else?
Then your site likely got hacked due to a zero day flaw where somebody hacked the site before you had applied the security patches of the past couple of months for WordPress and various plugins; and/or your host didn’t properly secure their server.
Best bet is to
disable all advertising systems entirely …
a) reinstall all plugins – check all plugins on WordPress.org FIRST to see if they are updated in 2015 for security; if not then don’t use them; don’t use any plugins from free websites, abandoned plugins from Envato, etc. — YOU need to audit all your plugins one by one; perhaps use Securi to scan your site first!
b) reinstall WordPress; delete all themes not being used; all third party themes; start with twenty-eleven
c) douhle check your htaccess and wp-config files to see that nothing odd was added
d) ask your hosting provider to do a security scan of your site for virus/malware
perhaps do these first:
e) double check your comments for spam you have not deleted; consider turning off all comments if you are not using security checks for comment spam
f) do a search on your site for the term “Viagra” to see if content injections are being done into your posts — this is sure sign you have been hacked and/or have malware plugin
my slider in home page is not changing when i update post in any category..i am seeing only ur demo content in slider home page..i want my new posts must come in home page top sliders..pls solve it
Hi,
Unfortunately the theme doesn’t have any option for this and implementing it needs custom work which for the moment we cannot offer, as we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support. You can always get a freelancer from sites like: http://studio.envato.com/ to do it for you or you could also try to find a plugin.
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
Please try to update also the Visual Composer plugin as I see that you use an old version of the plugin. The latest version provided with the theme’s files is 4.6.2 – http://screencast.com/t/H6atbu5l Check this guide to update – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thanks!
Hi,
I guess that Christopher referred that you need to redo some settings when you update the theme. Some on modules/blocks or widgests don’t exist anymore for example search module – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/search-not-displaying-results/ Also you will have to re-add the widgets to your sidebars, as they will become inactive.
The import script does the following operations:
- Imports the old settings to the new theme
- Renames all the shortcodes from your pages to the new names
- Imports all the sidebars
- Renames all the widgets from the sidebars to the new names
Regarding WordPress update, it should not affect your settings, but it is recommended to backup your site – https://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress
Thanks!

Hi!
Is there any way I could rearrange the order of my social links in the Social Counter? I would prefer to show the highest subscribed links first. Thanks.
Bonus Question: The new youtube channel url has been changed to youtube.com/c/channelurl and the link works fine in my social counter. However, it does NOT update the current total number of my youtube subcribers. Is there any way I can fix that?
Thank you.
Călin.
Hello,
After having updated to the latest version of newspaper, I realize that the number of views is not shown anymore on my home page blocks (http://www.duperrin.com).
Is it possible to get it back ? Did I miss any setting ?
Thanks for your help
Hi,
Please make sure that you do a clean install of Newspaper 6 like it is suggested in the documentation – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ as no old theme’s files should remain. Please note that Newspaper 6 is practically a new theme, all the code was rewritten and the old customizations(files customizations, custom css) will not work anymore. These are the files(placeholder images) used in version 6 – http://screencast.com/t/VyL1J1WWM8Jv
Thanks!
Hi,
Please make sure that you ran the script also this block (Text with title) should be updated, the shortcode should be renamed to – http://screencast.com/t/uFryRqk89 You can also check if the shortcode was changed for other block for example block 1:
old shortcode name version 4 – http://screencast.com/t/0PjvwbqAvvt
new shortcode name version 6 – http://screencast.com/t/TBUdUB5yuZ4
If you still have issues with it please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-access so we can take a look, also paste a link to this topic so we can know who you are and what the issue is.
Thanks!
Hi,

Thanks!

Hi,
I am finding an issue where widgets and sidebars are not displaying as they should. I am using the default settings for all posts and pages, and adding widgets to the Newspaper default sidebar – they are not displaying on Category or the actual article post page.
An example of this would be “Contextual Related Posts” widget. When added to sidebar of pages it is not displaying. Would this be clashing with the theme’s in-built related posts function ?
It appears that it is often necessary after adding a widget to have to go into each posts and page and just “update” the post or page to get anything to display correctly in the sidebar.
I am also seeing that widgets that have been added are not appearing in Visual Composer, even after checking all the settings in Visual Composer.
Any ideas ?
Many thanks
You can update WP first — I’m still using Newspaper 3x on a site, and works fine with new WP.
You will need to redo some things after update as some modules for home page changed, and WP has bad habit of “deactivating” widgets for sidebars or moving them to wrong thing, which means some “clean up” and dragging stuff from the inactive blocks back to active sidebars. You will likely need to regenerate thumbnails.
Most of the transient and dbase stuff, like “colors” should remain; menus might need to be resaved if using mega menus. Might have to reselect which menu goes to what element, but menus would still be there.
Not too awful 🙂
Thanks for the reply.
Another two questions I have:
1. Will I have to recustomize the theme since, as you say, “it’s like a completely new theme.” For example, all of my settings already set in the Theme Settings section… Will those stay? Colors? Post type settings? Favicon? Etc.
2. Can I update to the latest version of WordPress (4.2.4) with the current version of Newspaper I’m running (4.6.1)? I know it’s important to keep up to date with the latest version of WordPress but that becomes difficult when you also need to go through the process of updating the theme every time.
Thanks,
Hello, my site was working great until I updated it to Newspaper 6 (from Newspaper 4). I resized all images, I created an entire new CloudFront, removed caching, reinstalled caching, etc, switched out the entire theme files twice, and still it’s not displaying properly.
When I create a new page, it works great, for about three page loads, and then it goes back to this. The site is at http://www.danoah.com.
Screenshot of one block (block 6) is here (many different blocks are messed up): http://journalthis.danoah.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/14153217/screenshot1.png.
It seems this all happened when I ran the “update script” from the welcome screen.
Thanks, your help is much appreciated.
I have hired someone to work on the site’s speed. I will update this thread with how they do.
At the time of hiring them the theme’s speed on our site is registering at 23/100 and 31/100.
We will see how they do and if this was positive money spent.

Hello, I updated to Newspaper 6 from Newspaper 4. From what I can see, all of the “art-x” image sizes are no longer used and now deprecated yet my wordpress is still creating files of those sizes every time I upload an image. Is it safe to remove all of those?
Hi, I have updated to the latest theme, I followed the instructions and ran the update script and regenerated thumbnails. Most of the site is fine but some elements aren’t showing, only code. Is this because these elements no longer exist? When I click on the backend of the page the content doesn’t seem to be there. I don’t want to have to manually re-input eveything. Please can you help?
This is a screen shot of one of the pages http://prntscr.com/84j75f

But I think I have the latest update? version 4.3.5, thanks
