Hi guys,
I thought I would share this in case anybody had the same problem.
After upgrading to Newspaper 6 I experienced lots of problems with plugin Ultimate Add Ons for Visual Composer. Very annoying as I use it everywhere.
In case you have similar problems with this (incorrectly displaying, freezing, etc) the solution is to update to the latest version of the plugin, go to the plugin settings and under the “Scripts and Styles” tab set “Optimise CSS” and “Optimise JS” to ON.
As you were.
Hi,
You need to update the Visual Composer plugin to have this option – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thanks!
It didn’t work with these field’s names.
Do you think I will have to update (and adapt, of course) the following into the theme?
// save from td_subtitle to td_post_theme_settings->td_subtitle
$td_subtitle = array(‘td_subtitle’ => get_post_meta($post_id, ‘td_subtitle’, true));
if ($td_subtitle != ”) {
update_post_meta($post_id, ‘td_post_theme_settings’, $td_subtitle);
}
Cheers!
Hi
Thanks for reporting this, I’ve added on our list and will be fixed in the next theme’s update. Meanwhile you can use this custom css to increase the space between the featured image and post content:
@media (max-width: 767px){
.td-post-template-8 .td-main-content {
margin-top: 21px;
}
}
Here it’s the result: http://screencast.com/t/9tfUgXpWEg
Thanks!
Hi,
@tmoncada Your instagram counter works fine – http://screencast.com/t/ovSwpaQRxhl1
@r1kay Please make sure that you use the latest version of the Social Counter provided with the theme version that you use and also check this without any plugins active, leave only Visual Composer and Social Counter active, clear cache and see if you still have this problem. There is an issue with instagram counter, but we did not get any reports about fb and twitter. Also you can upgrade to the version 6 of the theme if you want – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thanks!
I updated my blog to Newspaper v 6 and everything went totally bonkers.
My first page looks like shit – posts and featured images are looking small and distorted.
i cant seem to get the sidebar to work etc..
does anyone know how to fix this?
seriously thinking of switching themes and leave tagdiv…
(followed your instructions)
Hi,
I have checked your site and if you are referring to the header ad, it is not displayed on both of your pages. I have inspected this, the code is there but the banner is not displayed – http://screencast.com/t/SQ9nfgwX So I suggest to check if the code is working, use a text block and see if it is displayed.
Also regarding the above code, if you edited and added it in the file, please edit news page set the ad box again and update the page and see if it works. 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 conversation so we can know who you are and what your issue is.
Thanks!
Most themes do that now for the “custom CSS panel” in the theme — if they wrote that to a file like in the old days, then every time theme was updated people would lose all their custom CSS; so having it in the panel with the dbase means it can be saved/exported with the theme options (typically).
I’ve gotten in habit of saving stuff into a work folder along with ftp backup; and name the files things like snip-customcss.txt snip-functionshax.php etc.
Hi,
I just updated the theme to the latest one. But category names doesnt show up on home page. No custom css is written, no related plugin (such as hide categories) is activated, none of the “HIDE CATEGORY ON POST AND ON CATEGORY PAGES” option is switched on for categories. It still doesnt show up neither in home page or category pages. They do only show up on single posts.
What could be the problem?
Thanks.

Hi,
Please update the theme and the plugin to the latest version and see if the issue is still there. We can also provide an older version of VC if you want to make some tests, just send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com
Another solution would be to use the Shim plugin – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/newsmag-1-7-1-killed-our-server-again/page/3/ – http://screencast.com/t/bSEvb023w
Thank you!
Hi,
@I switch from 4.6.1 to 4.6.3 and I have this error ->> The error looks like a missing file, you should try to update the theme again.
@update to 6.3.2 (latest version) – you don’t have to update step by step, just jump directly to the latest version. Before update please backup the site (files and database). And follow this guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thank you!
Hi,
I’ve added it on our list, it will be implemented in one of the next updates.
Thank you!
Thank you for all your help. Do you have an estimate as to when the next Newsmag update is?
Hi,
That option isn’t available withing the theme and it can’t be easily implemented, you would need custom services for that which we can’t provide at the moment as we are a small team and we’re working hard on development, fixes and support. I’ll add your request on our feature requests list and consider it for future updates but if you really need this implementation now I advise you to ask the help of a developer or a freelancer to do this for you. You can find one on site’s like: http://studio.envato.com/
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
What theme version do you use? The page content ads are not displayed?
If you refer to the content ads that you display using Ad Box block, unfortunately it is an issue in the latest version of the theme and will have to add this code in the td_config.php file – http://screencast.com/t/ZQJyFIm04Uv It will be fixed in the next update.
'-- Select an ad spot --' => '',
Also you can set your frontpage from Settings – http://screencast.com/t/LsrFXt4OA
If you still have issues please provide more details and also a your site url.
Thanks!
Hi,
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 not to 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
Hope this helps!
Hi,
We did not get any reports about this, it should not be any problems updating using the patch. Anyway please try to upload entire theme as like this it should work without any issues(A,B,C) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thanks!
By the way, the footer logo has no alt tag, either. Please, fix this as well in the next update.
Hi,
I want to update my theme from 4.6.1 to the latest (6.3.2).
Can I update directly or do I have to make all the update ? (4.6.2, 4.6.3, 6 etc …)
If I have to that, I missed the 4.6.2 version.
I switch from 4.6.1 to 4.6.3 and I have this error
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Xuan.
Funnily enough this came up here the other day as well. A plugin to do this kind of thing would be awesome from TagDiv, or a paid add-on option for the themes (hint!). I’d be willing to pay $25 for an “add-on” to the Newsmag theme for this, which is cheapo I know, but if you had a lot of folks buy it, well, it’s worth it. 🙂
Right now, it seems the best way to do this might be:
a) custom post template; edit one of the existing to add some “sponsored post” elements to page; change header link to header-sponsored.php
b) clone header.php and remove the default header ad box elements
c) create custom sidebar which doesn’t have default ad units
d) not sure how to set an expiration date; our local CMS (house built, not WP) has this function, I see couple of plugins for this out there, one which stopped working with latest WP update — but seems like there should be function for this (WP still evolving as proper CMS, which is why my system built in 2005, updated 2007, can do it, and WP still does not by default .. duh). Probably needs a cron job from server.
e) likely need a custom category which can be excluded from things like Google News sitemap, possibly main sitemap, but still feed into RSS streams
f) likely a custom “bug” added to end of the excerpt based on the custom category lookup to identify SPONSORED CONTENT clearly in excerpt
We’re looking to do something like this with possibly a 30,60,90 day expiration window for “sponsored content.”
Feedback from anybody who has actually implemented something like this would be major groovy bitchin’ kewl, as we say here in California 😉
Hello
Your theme is really great and more since the v6.
It is really cool for sites for lot of articles and works fine with Google ads for example.
However adblockers are used more and more.
I know some very big french sites where more than 40% of the people have one! 🙁
It means it is more and more difficult to earn money with advertising.
So we have to find other ways to make money.
Premium site options is an option.
Shop with some exclusive stuffs (PDF, video, goodies…) is another.
Like most of the site, we use WooCommerce for this part.
Even the theme is compatible, it is really the minimum.
I notice that other themes work hard to propose cool functions on the shop part.
Example on Sahifa (another magazine theme like Newsmag):
http://themes.tielabs.com/sahifa/shop/
It would be very cool if you add a lot of those features on the next updates.
For my point of view, here a list of importants things to add, in order of interest:
1/ Have an interactive basket shop icon meaning when I add elements in it, on top of the site the icon change and indicate the exact number of products I added.
2/ When I put the mouse on this basket icon, it would be cool that a block appear with the details products I add
3/ Heve a dynamic filter by price in AJAX (without reload the page)
4/ Have a sort option (price, name, newest, popular…)
5/ Maybe in the article detail have a more cool presentation of the images meaning using scroll ?
Here an example on a page (with a lot of photos taking to many places).
http://www.virtualmagie.org/produit/livre-vm-des-10-ans/
In the right column I notice on the categories, after the number the sign ) never show up.
I don’t know if it coming from the theme or WooCommerce. 🙂
Hope you consider my suggestions to improve the theme options.
Regards
Hi,
Unfortunately the smart lists were not designed to work like that, for the moment it works like slider(basically it is a slider) and use javascript, but actually we work on this and we will change smart list functionality in one of the theme updates(soon).
Thanks!
Great it is working! 🙂
For my point of view it would be logical that this link ALWAYS point to the person information.
To avoid this hack to disappear on the next update, could you please add it by default?

Hi
We will include the latest version of Revolution Slider plugin in the next theme’s update and after the update it’s released you can make a request via email and we will send you the template you need.
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
In reference to the category pages, for the sorting order drop down box, would it be possible change the default sort order? For example, I would like the default to be Popular (last 7 days) as compared to Latest.
If not, could I request this as an update from the next Newspaper 6 release?
Thanks!
