Hello,
I have the latest Newspaper theme update v6.3.
I am having issues in locating the Social Counter plugin and the Ad Box element.
I do have both loaded in the widgets section under the appearance tab. When
I create a new page and want to add the Social Counter or the Ad Box, I do not see it in the Add Elements box.
F.Y.I. yes, I have cleared cache. I have turned off other plugins. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Tommy
There have been quite a lot of these threads lately. I´m still on 6.1 and everything is working as it should.
Can we be guaranteed that there are no more SEO mistakes made in the 6.3 update or is it better to wait with updating till a later version? Cause if there is one thing one usually can´t afford it is ranking loss due to technical issues.
Hi,
since i have updated 4.0 with 6.0 i need a 4.0 version of newspaper to make it look like cafe layout NOW. The only reason i have bought this theme was cafe layout actually. Now that the whole look of my site is changed into something i dont like at all. this makes me really upset. I also dont want to pay extra fees to someone to fix this problem for me since this problem did not exist before i updated the theme. you have changed the theme into something completely different from my perspective.
in the 6.0 folder there is an old version but when i load it, it gives me fatal error about some widget problem.
So i kindly ask you to we transfer me the old version to avni@rakicioglu.com
if you can tell me as well ” Cafe stack and adjust your settings manually for version 6 to look like that.” which parts do i need to change inorder to make it look like cafe layout.
One other problem i am facing the new theme is that, i do some changes in the menu fonts but it doesnt update it in the site somehow. the fonts dont change ..
Cheers
Avni
Hi,
I’m using NewsMag 1.7 but noticed a few things in version 2 that seem interesting.
1. Added .screen-reader-text class for better usability – I found the CSS for this in styles, but what exactly are you using this for, is it on post page? Would like to know what this adds and how to add it.
2. We audited the theme and and we made major improvements in speed and memory usage, especially in use cases that have big taxonomies, like a lot of categories or tags. – Is this something i would be able to fix on NewsMag 1.7, please let me know how to implement improvements?
3. The panel now uses the modern WordPress media upload – Is this easily updated with one file and which file is it?
Thanks!
Not sure if its ok to post this here, but looking for part time freelance dev preferably with basic experience:
-wordpress, php, js, mysql
-modifying plugins and documenting for core plugin and theme updates
-using/configuring newspaper in general
-speed optimization
I work mostly over skype and with asana to manage tasks (10-6pm PST time). Would like at least an hour or so of your availability during that window for communication
Please send me an email bryan at ruun.com if you’re interested.

Hi
I have not yet updated to NM 2.0 …
I will be doing so soon; and will post *updated* code for bottom of functions.php file. Not tested with child them, nor will I. 🙂
Note the things which are “safe” to use are those which modify the general WordPress core stuff, like removing versions, adding warning for those trying to guess login, changing default compression, emoji removal.
Don’t use Thomas’ long winded block of stuff for htaccess; as most of that has nothing to do with me and seems related to his optimization third party service doing stuff – some of which looks redundant to me.
Bryson T’s “slim” summary from July 2 in this thread, above, would be safe place to start.
Always remember to clear *all* your caching couple of times so you’re not loading old/new CSS and functions!
Hi
Try to update the theme at the last version which it’s 2.0 and the visual composer plugin at current version 4.5.3, the plugin it’s included in the file you download from themeforest. Here it’s a guide about how can you update the theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/ and also delete the old version of visual composer and install the one from the theme.
Thanks!
Hi
The newsmag theme have a different design than newspaper and i am afraid that it won’t be possible only with custom work. We would have gladly made it for you but we are a small team and we are working very hard on the development, updates, fixes and support and the time doesn’t allow as to provide custom work.
Thanks!
Hi
Do you have any custom modification to display social widgets in main menu?
By default header style 5 don’t include top widget, and you will need aditional css customization, unfortunately we cannot offer custom work as we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support. You can always get a freelancer from sites like: http://studio.envato.com/ if you don’t know how to do it yourself.
You can try to use media queries and customize social icons for each screen size like here: http://screencast.com/t/OJx6J1N8F this is for dekstop, and you need to find a similar solution for small devices:
@media(min-width: 1024px){
.td-header-style-5 .td-header-sp-top-widget{
top: 5px;
right: 70px;
}
}
Thanks!
Hi
Try to update the theme and the plugins at the latest version, clear the cache, purge your files if you use cdn and test again. The plugin should work fine as was tested with the theme. Before the update check our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/
I also cheeked your facebook id with latest theme version and work fine: http://screencast.com/t/pPyykNhp2eUk http://screencast.com/t/7NOay4qL
Thanks!
Hi,
Thanks for suggestion, I have added this on our list and we will think about this and try to find a better implementation in a future update. Mean time you can use the above suggestion and use a text block to have H! and H2 on the page or you can hire someone to do this modification in the code for you as unfortunately we cannot provide custom work at this time as we work hard on development, fixes and support, sorry! If you want to add h1 to the logo image here you can find the code – http://screencast.com/t/caUBOjNLu3f but I’m afraid that is is not a proper solution.
Thanks for the message!
You are not planning to release any security updates anymore to V4? That’s very disappointing. As mentioned – we tried updating to V6 but it completely ruined our website – we would need to redo the whole site and that’s just not acceptable.
I hope very much you do release security updates to V4.
Thanks
Hi,
Do you used version 4 of the theme before and you want to upgrade to version 6?
If you do please 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/ update also the theme plugins that come with the theme files from the /plugins folder. In the “how to update” guide is specified that you will have to run the script that will import from database your settings, will change the shortcodes. Unfortunately you will have to re-add your widgets in the sidebars as some of them may not be imported or don’t exist anymore, also they will become inactive.
Thanks!
Hi,
Did you installed the demo successfully, without any errors? Please make sure that you have updated/installed also the plugins that come with the theme files especially Visual Composer install it from – http://screencast.com/t/M0ZXtbAd9LSc and make sure that you use the latest version – http://screencast.com/t/hJOIbj3hd5
Please check this also without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer, clear cache and see if you still have this issue also provide a link so we can take a look.
Thanks!
Hi
The latest version of Nevspaper 4 it’s V 4.6.3 and we don’t plan to release another. The only available update it to the latest version of Newspaper 6 which it’s technically an new theme and the update must be done carefully.
Here it’s a link to our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and a useful topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/updating-from-4-6-3-to-version-6/ Consider the aspects mentioned there and the update should be done fine.
Thanks!
Hi,
I have checked this with the latest version of the theme 6.3 and seems to work better with Visual Composer row in row option – http://screencast.com/t/N4k5WCcry – http://screencast.com/t/iOVTU7BuXeC I asked the developer about this and we suggest to update to the latest version using this guide(make a full backup of your current theme installation) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and also disable all your plugins before update. After update please make sure that no files from version 4 will remain, to make sure of that you can try to update via ftp – https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/ then update also the theme’s plugins from the /plugin folder, activate it from here – http://screencast.com/t/ZtkWY5ykJgCh and make sure that you use the latest version – http://screencast.com/t/nn2stdsARkr check your site only with Visual Composer active and see if it works.
In the “how to update” guide is specified that you will have to run the script that will import from database your settings, will change the shortcodes.

Hi,
Please unzip the archive and install Newspaper.zip and the install the plugins that come with the theme files from the /plugins folder – http://screencast.com/t/qArRtUEkmX34
Also please check our documentation “how to install the theme”(A,B,C) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ also this video tutorial may help – https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Hope this helps!
Hi,
1. This will update only your theme to the latest version. You will have to delete the Visual Composer plugin – http://screencast.com/t/coHOReboyBp and install the new version – http://screencast.com/t/lR34ov0Gxn5D
2. The Speed Booster plugin is compatible only with plugins that it has been tested. A lot of people install the plugin without knowing what it does and after that they add many plugins and some of the plugins are not written fine so that’s the developer took this decision. If you want to always enable speed booster, delete this code from speed booster file: http://screencast.com/t/RZLIOPUNdqh
3. Please regenerate your thumbnails – https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/
Thanks!
Hey guys,
I have to say it is a great theme. I purchased it 7 months ago and setup a website. However, i did not update content since 6.5 months and that website is “dead”. Can i use your theme for my new project? I will delete that dead website.
Hi,
Please make sure that you use the latest theme version 6.3 and you also update the plugins that come with the theme files. Then check this only with Visual Composer and Tablepress plugins active, clear cache and purge your files and see if you still have this issue as maybe Tablepress is in a conflict with another plugin and not with the theme. I have also installed and activate this plugin but it did not caused any issues for tagdiv gallery – http://screencast.com/t/l0nWwR88
Thanks!
Okay, so i’m going to use Animated GIF Resize plugin for now.. hopefully somebody keeps it updated.
Also smart lists get the full image, is there a way to get a scaled image to a specific size? Like the image size on big grid?
Thanks for your help
Hi there,
After a failed update to Newspaper 6 – I reverted back to Newspaper 4.
My question – are you going to release new updates to version 4??
Thanks
Hi,
It is specified in the documentation how to update your theme(A, B, C) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and also check this video for FTP update(if you update via FTP) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/ you will not lose any customizations, settings from Theme Panel, but the files modifications will be lost as all the files will be overwritten. If you use child theme for files customizations you will have to check update_log.txt file for each update and see what files had been modified so if those specific files are used in the child theme you will have to check your customizations to not break the functionality of the theme. From version 6.3 we have added a better support for child theme, please check – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/ – http://screencast.com/t/uonuDjnA6
Thanks!

Hi,
Please try to use default page template, disable all your plugins, leave only Visual Composer active, clear cache and purge your files if you use CDN, then check if you still have this issue. Also make sure that you use the latest theme version and also you update the plugins that come with the theme files from the /plugins folder. Also if you use child theme please update it to the theme version that you use.
If you still have this issue please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-access so we can take a closer look at this, paste a link to this topic so we can know who you are and what your issue is.
Thanks!
