Oh, I was referring to browser cache or it will show the old image.
I was not saying to resize the image you have, I said to change it canvas.
You can resize your logo from 150×150 to 100×100 and then change its canvas to 300×100.
Here, upload this and try it out.

As you can see in the theme panel, the theme expects a 300x100px image.
If you really want to use 150×150 you have to manually edit some files under the “parts” folder in your newspaper theme folder:
header-style-1.php (line 33)
menu-header-center.php (line 53)
menu-header.php (line 53)
replace width="300" with width="150"
The first solution has the advantage of persisting after an update while the latter needs to be redone after update (unless new version 5 of newspaper has more options).
Okay, direct from grand wizard Mr. Radu …. here is the code to hide the shim and VC on post pages for those of us who only use VC for home page or whatever and do NOT use it for posts! You don’t need to use *this* version unless you’re using the SHIM plugin to deal with CPU spikes with VC versions post 4.4 (for regular code for just hiding VC on posts, see the prior post ABOVE).
Here is updated from RADU June 5, 2015:
(and this goes in functions.php file in main root of theme folder, for those who did not already know that . . . )
function dequeue_visual_composer_css() {
if (is_single()) {
wp_dequeue_style('js_composer_front');
wp_dequeue_style('td-vc-composer-css-shim');
}
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dequeue_visual_composer_css', 1003);
Hello from California 🙂
No problem, I’ll just update it manually! Thanks!
Hello
I want to disable some other categories appearing on my homepage. Since I didnt update the other categories I want it to be hidden in homepage. I only want to show the top big grids and the latest post.
I searched and read some post relating to this issue and it seems I cannot find the DISABLE button on the Theme > Categories..
Hi,
Unfortunately we did not tested new version of Social Counter with older versions of the theme, so you will have to update it. Another solution will be to make this change in the social counter file to work only with channel – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/problem-with-tagdiv-social-counter-youtube/#post-38128
Thanks!
Hi,
Suddenly found an issue at my website that whenever I update my post, the real view count which appears at front-end gets reduced. Recently when I updated a post it reduced from 120 to 11 or any random number it gets updated less than the real one.
Can you please advise why it’s behaving like this.
Thanks Sanny
Hi,
You can update the theme like it is specified in our documentation, unfortunately Visual Composer can be updated only manually as the plugin comes with the theme’s files and you can’t update it directly from the it’s producer.
Thanks!
I’m also using the Gethub Envato plug-in and have set it up per the instructions Emil posted above. No problems so far, thanks for the tip! As for the Visual Composer plug-in update that comes inside of the package, it never automatically installs the latest version of plug-in, even if you’re using the Gethub solution, correct? Or is there a way to automatically have the updater also update the VC plugin at the same time it does the theme? Thanks!
Hi,
in your functions file around line 1190:
/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/functions.php
<div class="td-gallery-slide-count"><span class="td-gallery-slide-item-focus">1</span> ' . __td('of') . ' ' . $nr_of_slides . '</div>
just change ‘of’ to ‘whatever-you-want’
(this will be gone after a theme update, remember to keep tabs on things like that)
hope this helps, cheers!
UPDATE #2: Spoke too soon, broken again.
Any help will be appreciated.
UPDATE: Fixed.
Had to manually install the plugins (the ones supplied with the plugin) via FTP.
Cheers
thank you alan . i dont want update the theme becouse i made a lot of custem work in the files . bit i will try update the plugin and see what will happend ..
thanks mate
Hi,
If you use the latest theme version and also you have updated the Social Counter plugin to version 2.10 the channel also will work if you add it like this – http://screencast.com/t/kwEAA8Cb
Thanks!
Hi Alin,
I still have this problem.
Here’s a screenshot of the HTML text editor with no plugins activated (except VC) and the embed code shown. When I update the post and refresh the page, I still have the same blank result.
Hi,
The smartlists content isn’t supposed to show the ads as its handled different as in case the post’s content isn’t using smartlists so this this the right behavior.
You can use ad spot’s shortcodes to place ads inside smart lists content if you like. We also have this on our requests lists and we will consider trying another approach on this in future updates.
Thanks
Hi,
Please activate the theme also on your test site. Also you can update it when a new version is released.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please make sure that you use the latest theme version 4.6.3 it has the new YouTube API support. If you need to update please use FTP method – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/ and update also the plugins that come with the theme’s files from the /plugins folder.
You also can check this without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer active and clear cache and see if it works.
Thanks!
ALSO:
since it got buried a bit …
LUCIAN … when you can, note my item a few posts back this thread about updated code for hiding the SHIM on post page meta to not load CSS every page.
Was trying not to start new thread which would confuse a lot of folks 🙂
(but I will if I have to … nyah hah hahhhh!)
lol Tip jar. Funny.
But seriously, it helps. More than anything else, though, I think the things you take the time to put out there (see various sticky threads you authored in both NewsMag and Newspapers support forums) make so much of a difference because even great support doesn’t have time for everything. Kind of helps tagDiv work more on these new updates everyone is beyond ready for while you have taken care of plenty of support requests for them by passing on your own experience.
Much appreciated. And not often enough expressed.
Yes.. you need to change it to whatever YOUR data key happens to be for your existing counts.
Mine is “views” – yours might be something totally different based on whatever plugin you were using before. The theme plugin can’t “magically” figure out your reads from the past unless you were ALREADY counting those since day one or whenever.
So, typically if you were using a plugin there might be a data field (sometimes a custom field you can find at bottom of your post editing pages with other custom fields), and if the plugin was from Acme co, they might have made a data field like
acme_post_views
so, you would then need to update the theme file to tell it to READ and WRITE to that existing field (in my case it’s ‘views’ — for the theme if you have no other counter, it would now use the “post_views_count” — you will see this field in the custom fields at bottom of your posts when editing one).
SO, *you* need to figure out what your old data field is and put THAT field into the php file. 🙂
Update: It looks like the setting has to be set and saved each time the page is edited. It looks like the setting doesn’t lock in as enabled. So, each subsequent edit/save to the page “breaks” the unique article feature.
Is that designed behavior?
The file looks like this:
<?php
class td_page_views {
static $post_view_counter_key = ‘views’;
But it worked.
when I update the page it resets the views o.O
The unique article setting is not working on our front page. It used to function correctly, but is not working now.
I’m not sure if this is update related or a feature on the page (like youtube playlist) or from VC element conflict.
When I save the page as “Enabled” the setting is reset to “-disabled-” when it reloads.

Thank you! Great theme, love the features, use it for our 20k/month site.
Hi, Lucian
Thanks for the answer. I guess I should wait for the update then.

Be sure to update this also once you have 4.3.5 installed (I didn’t try that .. doh).
Curious how NM1.71 and VC435 work together. In fact, not sure anybody in this thread has actually tried that (not that you should worry it won’t work or anything).
