i am having an error after i updated the theme. my sidebar moved to the center of the page and in middle of blog posts when reviewing it

Hi,
The Visual Composer plugin is licensed to the theme meaning that you don’t have to buy/activate it as it is provided in package that you download from themeforest(after we test the plugin for theme compatibility we include it in the latest theme update), also you cannot update the plugin directly from the it’s producer. Envato specifies that a plugin/extension included with a specific theme cannot be used with another website/theme – http://themeforest.net/licenses/faq#license-components-a
Thanks!
Well, this was a very special case, my customer doesn’t want one but many ads above the header. It is solved now: http://varnamo.srv01.wpeasy.se/
Anyway, the conclusions after my research (for a solution) and many failed attempts were that this would be an incredible idea for a plugin. I wish I was a programmer! 😀 The ads don’t actually have to be in the header, they just have to look like they are there! – take this as a suggestion for a new update or a brand new plugin or deluxe addon to this amazing theme 😉
Anyway, my problem was that the customer wanted to have an easy managable ads area above the header where he could easily change and manage ads.
Solution:
I bought this plugin: http://codecanyon.net/item/visual-composer-in-sidebars-addon/8558485 so that the customer could easily manage the ads in a consistent way with the rest of the website. Then I created a child theme because this was no longer about CSS editing. Then I created a new widget and a new sidebar on the header. Last but not least, I added the ads as simple images using the bought plugin on a 1/6 grid.
It works and it rocks but it was painful. In my opinion, you could either include this in a next update as a default feature or you could develop this as an extra paid plugin, I am 100% sure (after have seen so many people with the same problem when I google) that a lot of people want to do this.
Cheers!

Hi there,
Can you give us instructions on how to install facebook’s new comment’s plugin? https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/comments
Essentially, I have to include the javascript sdk on my page once, ideally after the <body> tag and then place another code where I want to replace the CURRENT comment system.
@NTellier85 It’s only available after activating v6+. New version adds a Newspaper menu item just under Jetpack that has several sub-items. But once you activate the new version, you’ll be taken to the welcome screen anyway, which is what my screenshot showed you. Pretty quick to go through the update script from there, but will take a few minutes where things get hairy on the front-end.
@btreece84 And now I jsut need to find the update script for v6. I can’t find it in my WordPress admin area at all, where the documentation says to find it.
@NTellier85 Nice site. Will look even better with v6 installed.
BTW – I checked out the M&S “The Wolf” video and shared it. I noticed you’ve got your name entered wrong for the Twitter via username. Shows via @Festival Snobs and that space breaks and benefit of the via tag. Should change it to via @FestivalSnobs if you want it to do any good, since that’s your handle on Twitter.
Still, like the site. Post back here once you update the theme. I’d love to see how it looks/works then.
Hi,
We know about this issue and it will be fixed in the next update. Sorry for inconvenience!
Thanks for reporting!
Hi,
Unfortunately we did not tested the plugin, so I cannot make any suggestions regarding this. You have to check how the single and loop-single templates are built and start from there. An alternative would be to look for a professional developer to help you with this, if you don’t know any you could look for one on places like – http://studio.envato.com/ Anyway we plan to improve and add better support for the custom post type in a future update.
The theme supports bbpress without any custom modifications and the can be accessed using siteurl/forums please check our demo – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/forums/ if you want to add content to your forum page, please create the forum page change the template to default and use shortcodes – http://screencast.com/t/l3qDftKrgH Also you can set here your sidebar – http://screencast.com/t/aNMnC4CZ Here you can find the plugin’s documentation – https://codex.bbpress.org/
Thanks!
Hi,
What error do you receive in the console? if you can’t find anything please let the code on and provide a link so i can take a look. That section if minified and it’s a bit complicated to see the cause, i’ve added it on our list for the next updates, we will disable the minification.
Thank you!
Hi,
In the last update we’ve focused on theme’s performance child theme system and we’ve approached few visual issues.
We still have the comments link issue on our todo list and we have approached it and tried to find a solution for it or other implementation for it however we couldn’t find a fix yet because this comes from theme’s grid we’re not even certain if it can be fixed. We still have it on our attention and if we find a way will fix it as soon as possible.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
Unfortunately there is not option for list font on pages, you will have to use custom css for list from text blocks – http://screencast.com/t/o565UlyNsHe
.wpb_text_column li {
font-size: 18px;
line-height: 20px;
}
I have added this on our list so if more users will ask for it we will try to find a solution in a future update, it was added this option for post because the text content/list is used more often there.
Thanks!
Hi,
The theme uses Font Awesome 4 Menus, try to update the fonts inside the plugin. First download the latest – http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/ – then unzip and replace the CSS and Fonts folders inside the plugin – http://screencast.com/t/fsv8qY6O
Thank you!
Hi,
Not sure what you mean. The latest version of the theme is 6.2.1 and it should be regarded like a new theme, it was practically rewritten. Please note that if you update the custom modifications to the theme files and custom css will not work anymore, you will have to customize them again. Here you can find a guide how to update from version 4 – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ (please make sure that you do a clean update, remove the old theme) also update the plugins that come with the theme files from the /plugin folder. Then you will have to run the script like it is specified in the documentation and re-add your widgets in the sidebar(s). Before update please backup the site (database and files) – https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
If you want to remain on version 4 (4.6.3 is the last update in that version) you can find this in /old_version folder from the package that you download from themeforest – http://screencast.com/t/f8gCkpnrM7 and also if you delete the Visual Composer plugin it will appear a message to install it or if you want to do this manually you can find it following this path – http://screencast.com/t/rg3Ed6DyGckW
Thanks!
Hi,
Please deactivate all your plugins except of Visual Composer(make sure that it is updated to the latest version), clear cache and purge your files if you use CDN.
Thanks!
I changed the code and it works.
Now I still have 2 more issues:
1/ In the page with multiple categories, we can choose a Primary Category.
It will be nice that ONLY the one choosen appear in the title and not all.
For example here there are 2 categories in the title (there is Matos, Videomania instead of only Matos) :
http://www.virtualmagie.org/articles/critiques/videomania/arthur-de-chris-wiehl/
2/ In admin, the SEO part, there is still a problem: the title don’t show up in the Preview (see the image)
http://hpics.li/a7aa877
Hop, all that will be correct in the next update.
Regards
Hi,
Unfortunately the theme doesn’t have an option to do this and you will need custom modification to the header style that you use. You can edit header style 9 – http://screencast.com/t/DIALswdc668 and add your images manually in the code and customize them via custom css. 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. But you can always get a freelancer from sites like: http://studio.envato.com/
Thanks!
Hi,
1. We have currently the Newspaper installed version 4.6.1 and I see that there is a 4.6.3 available. How do we update our theme (we are not being asked to update on our WordPress site).
2. We have Visual Composer Version 4.4.4 installed. I see there is a 4.6 available. I’ve tried updating by not having any success.
Please can you help.
Thanks.
Hello
The problem is not directly related with the update files but maybe you know what’s going on.
I tried to update the theme via WP, as you explain it in your tutorial. When I tried to activate another theme, to remove yours, my site and my WP console simply vanish…I just have a blank page!!!!!

Have you experience in similar cases?
Thank you fot your help.

Hi,
After checking the new update, I was very dissapointed since the long time issue, “the comment link does not work in smartphone or tablet” still persist.
I think this is a VERY BASIC capability of a good theme.
Is there a way to solve this long time problem?

Hi
The width size can’t be changed easily as it comes from theme’s grid and because affect many elements on the page like blocks, modules, sidebars etc.
If you need this you need custom work for it. For now we cannot provide custom work, because we’re a small team and we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support so we recommend you hire a freelancer to do it for you. Sorry!
Thanks for the message!
