Hi, it’s possible that installing demos my custom created sidebars has lost? There isn’t a folder to recover those sidebars? How update the theme or install a demo without lose data?
Hi,
1. You will need custom work to achieve that, here you can find and alter the code to block bottom ad – http://screencast.com/t/sb35p9Xb9 unfortunately we cannot provide any type of custom work at this time, sorry!
2. Did you also updated the child theme? Please try Emil solution from this topic – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/big-grid-1-and-2-problems-on-newspaper-6-and-6-1/#post-55607
3. Please make sure that you delete the old version of Social Counter, then install and activate the new version of the plugin – http://screencast.com/t/qScPww6guj6 and make sure that it is the latest version – http://screencast.com/t/Mwqpwjj9rtM
Thanks!
Hi,
Please check the update guide that Christopher suggested and also please provide more details about share issue also paste your site URL so we can take a look.
Thanks!
Hi,
Yes, we know about this error and will be fixed in the next update.Anyway this error doesn’t affect how Big Grid is displayed in frontpage. Sorry for inconvenience!
Thanks for reporting this!
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, i have newspaper 6 (last update) and using it with wp super cache. My problem is at the first click of my website, there is no image to show up. I must reflesh my website to see images.
here is the screenshots:
any solition?
Time to add mine into the mix here. I just updated so I’m using Newspaper v6.1 and the child theme.
I opted to go for sleek design attributes and dug apart the default styles. Features include:
- Transparency on all container backgrounds
- Full size fixed background image representing my site’s primary subject (Dallas Cowboys NFL Team)
- Custom widget title blocks
- Custom link colors on post templates with darker headers
- Custom sharing buttons; removed default Pinterest button and replaced with a Reddit button
- Using Open Sans and Roboto in a few places like menus and widgets, and using Merriweather for content and some titles, but Oswald for all headings and most titles.
I’m pretty pleased with how it came out and, of course, thanks go to tagDiv for revamping the theme in such a way that this was so easy to do. Seriously loving the speed of the theme, even with ads and outside javascript like an audio player loaded.
Comments and feedback welcome.
After 6 update, i tried to do like before but i couldn’t.
Basically I would like to add ads in category and tags pages above and below of the page. How can i do ?
To make it clear, examples;
https://yadi.sk/i/UAW3P1Y9hZVtz
https://yadi.sk/i/8fYIFKHBhZVtn
Thanks in advance.
Go to: newspaper/includes/modules/td-module-single.php
Delete ONLY the highlighted portion of text shown inside of the green box, not all of the code in the green box:
Delete from the <a> to the </a> for the last two links to remove the two networks in question.
*** Note that my buttons show differently than the default buttons. I’ve already updated my buttons to remove Pinterest and include Reddit instead. In either case, the final two links in that block of code are the two you need to delete. Those last two in your code should be for Google Plus and then for Pinterest. My updated links are formated identical to the default links, hence showing you them instead of default code.
***** Also note that there are two parts of this and only one is shown. In that same file, this code is basically repeated. One for the top above the code shown in the screenshot, and one block for the bottom sharing buttons, as shown in the screenshot.
Good luck.
There is very specific instruction in the theme documentation available on this site for updating from an older version to v6/v6.1. It includes methods by which certain parts have to be removed and then new replacement installed. Be sure to follow those exactly. You cannot simply update the Visual Composer, for example, by uploading the new plugin over the old one. The old one has to be deactivated and fully deleted before uploading the new version in most cases.
There are multiple ways to do some of the steps listed in the upgrade documentation, so it’s tempting to use the method you know best that usually gets you the end result desired. Don’t give into familiarity. Follow the instructions precisely. They’re specific for good reason.
Hope this helps. Good Luck.
See theme docs right side of page as good place to start on doing update >>>
Well, you’re not “Fixing” anything, you’re customizing things.
Here’s what you can do. Mind you, these are only steps and locations; you need to know how to use CSS and HTML to actually perform the changes:
Adding WhatsApp & Removing Pinterest: The code for the default sharing blocks are in newspaper/includes/modules/td-module-single.php and there are two sections, one for above and one for below the post. They’re just links added to a variable so remove what you don’t need or change it as needed.
I wanted to add Reddit and remove Pinterest so I deleted the Pinterest blocks from both, created a td-social-reddit class for the background color, and changed the icon in the <i> element to td-icon-reddit and added the styles to the Custom CSS panel in the theme settings (to avoid overwriting on updates).
If the WhatsApp button uses a share URL and not a javascript function, it’s simple enough to copy the Google Plus button code in each location and adjust the URL in it and even add variables to it like I did with Reddit (See example on my site: Single post on my site showing the sharing buttons with Reddit and no Pinterest)
Please note that the default sharing buttons in that file all include some javascript inside of <script></script> tags within the chunk of code. This is primarily for handling the popup behavior of each link. Removing it or using your own JS without such a function will make clicking the share link open in the current full browser window, taking users away from your site.
Adding Pinterest to Images: There are several free and premium plugins that handle this. I suggest you implement one of them after removing the default Pinterest share button as described above.
These aren’t difficult changes to make, though. If you’re familiar with coding then it should be self-explanatory how to complete the steps above. Good luck!
Hi
I got the theme and please can someone tell me how do i update the site to 6.1
I also want to know what is the possibility to have the view counter algorithm changed to my code..
There is a strange problem in share feature
when i share the topic on facebook , the full path of my path is shown in the share feature and i need to edit each post
Thank you, Marius. I’m very pleased with how it came out. Even more so because the theme is faster than ever. You guys did a great job with the v6 update. Bravo.
But I haven’t fixed it, just found a temporary fix that doesn’t seem as obviously broken while we work on it. Here are the problems:
1. Categories Filter ** This was my bad. Didn’t correct the offset properly for the block after the ad while building the page.
Category filtering in blocks on the home page I’ve built is set as default, to show all categories, but it’s only showing the first category, alphabetically, from the site (Cowboys Blog). I’ve tried updating it several times and checking the other categories but no luck. All categories work fine when I select them individually, but not when selecting “All Categories” from the filter. This occurs with and without unique articles enabled, and after all caches have been cleared.
2. Newspaper Block Shortcodes in VC
Visual Composer is really not reading the themes blocks. See the screenshot for what I see:
That has remained constant on InsideTheStar.com (Main Site) while it was not a problem on Dev.InsideTheStar.com (Development Site, also live). It remains constant whether I use v6.1 parent or child theme, and whether I use VC v4.3.5 or v.4.5.3. I’ve checked upload type (binary vs. ascii) and uploaded fresh copies from the theme directory of the whole theme multiple times. I’ve also removed VC via both methods and reinstalled but no fix, yet.
I was able to create the homepage I’m using now by taking the page on my dev site, reverting to the classic editor so it would show me the VC shortcodes, and copied those shortcodes into the classic editor on the homepage for the main site. I couldn’t use the blocks any other way. With VC v.4.5.3 (as distributed with Newspaper v6.1) I couldn’t even edit those blocks at all on the main site, just move them around (couldn’t edit, duplicate, or delete them from the VC editor).
3. VC Editor Styles
I’m also seeing this issue while using Newspaper v6.1 with VC v4.3.5 (the only version I can access this following screen from):
I can still use the box with that broken style for the tabs up top, but it hints at the main problem, I’d think.
I would have liked to get it figured out already, but all I was able to do was get the site limping well enough that most visitors won’t notice (it’s a production site).
Any ideas? The only thing worth noting from the system info tab of the theme is that I’m running at 40mb instead of 64mb. It’s not the problem, though. Both the main site and dev site are running on the same host with the same setups, and the dev site is not experiencing any troubles with VC v.4.3.5.
Hello, I am getting wp booster error: on home page after running the update script in Newspaper 6.
http://hindi.yuvayana.org/
Hi,
Please read this guide how to upgrade to the version 6 – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ make full backup and after the update please also update the plugins that come with the theme files from /plugins folder and then you can run the script, it will import old settings from database and it will change the shortcodes – http://screencast.com/t/eZxxuqvsTir Also you have to regenerate the thumbs – https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/ The content of your pages will not be affected as running the scrip it will update the shortcodes, but you need to change the template – in version 6 there are 3 page templates – http://screencast.com/t/ROt8QyaaZDnA Unfortunately you will have to re-add widgets on your sidebars, some of them may not be imported or don’t exist anymore.
Hope this helps!
hi all,
Unfortunately I don’t really know how to implement that filter now. It is kind of a big update to the block system and we have to take a little time to investigate and write down the full specs of the new blocks (that have to be 100% compatible with the old system).
I will be back with a stick thread here when we have a working prototype. We postpone the implementation of CTP due to technical reasons for almost a year… but this time we will do it.

Hi
I am planning to update newspaper theme 4.6.3 to 6.1 version and i have some clarifications in it.
1. Will you please list me the files can be overrided by the child theme?
2. How can i disable google fonts completely and stop loading them via child theme?
Hi,
Newspaper 6 should be regarded like a new theme, as the theme was practically rewritten. You can check our demo and see what features were added like smart sidebar(sticky), smart lists, more modules/blocks more Big Grid blocks(not only Big Slider like in version 4) – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
Also all Visual Composer elements are supported, there is an issue in old version of the theme, many Visual Composer elements are not compatible and are disabled from functions – http://screencast.com/t/tMq0cVUE
It is compatible with bbpress(there are not any customization, use full plugin) and woocommerce you can check in our demo how forum and shop look. Please note that if you update the files modifications and custom css will not work in new version and you need to customize it again.
Please use this guide if you want to update – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and make a full backup before.
Thanks!
Hi
This was an issue generated by the previous version of the VC plugin including the 4.4.4 version which was included in the version of the theme you use and it has been fixed within latest version of Visual Composer plugin.
We will release an update for the theme within next week, test and include the latest version of the VC plugin then in theme’s package but if you don’t want to wait until then you can make a request for it via email at contact@tagdiv.com and we will send ti to you but consider that we haven’t tested it with the the theme yet so we can’t guarantee it will work flawless.
Please let us know via email on your decision and also include a link tot his tread.
Thanks
Hi,
We don’t have any reports regarding this in version 4 of the theme. Like I said I have tested this with latest version and did not found any issues. We recommend you to also update the theme.
Thanks!
Hi
Firs rt please try this guide and regenerate the thumbnails for all your images: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/
I’ve checked your site and haven’t found missing images could you please provide some posts that don’t show the featured image so I can inspect them.
I did found some missing images files reported in browser’s console: http://screencast.com/t/gXiz2iAHj for which you could try to update your permalink structure if regenerating thumbnails isn’t working.
Please let us know how it goes!
Thanks.
Hi,
Sorry for delay we don’t work on weekends!
The patch files provided with the theme’s files can be used to update from version 6.0 to 6.1 – http://screencast.com/t/fEIfH5y1 it containing the files that were changed/updated/new in new version. So you can use it if you want to replace only the files which were modified in the latest update – https://forum.tagdiv.com/whats-included/
Thanks!
Have anyone gotten the co-authors plus plugin to work in the new update?
I have tried to insert this in loop-single.php, but its not working.
<?php
//show the author under title
if (td_util::get_option('tds_show_author_under_title') == 'show') {
//echo $td_mod_single->get_author();
$coauths = get_coauthors();
if (count($coauths) > 1) {
echo "von ";
foreach($coauths as $key => $coauth) {
echo 'user_nicename.'">'.$coauth->display_name.'';
// add "and"
if ($key != count($coauths)) {
echo ' und ';
$coauths = substr($coauthsHTML, 0, -4);
}
}
} else {
echo $td_mod_single->get_author();
};
}
?>
Just to clarify, was this an issue in Newspaper 4.6.1? That’s what we’re currently running (child theme). We were planning to update to Newspaper 6 and knowing that this would resolve the WooCommerce problem would make it a mandatory step now. Thanks for quick reply!
