HI Alin,

Thanks for the advise. I did as you requested and updated the site again. It is showing that all of the plugins and themes are up to date. I am still getting the same error message nothing has changed. Do you have any other ideas as to what would fix this.

Regards,

Jeni

Hi,

you can add the following to the file /wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/modules/module_modifier/td_module_blog.php in line 200:


//do not show the featured image on post of these categories
if (in_category('SLUG-OF-CATEGORY')) {
return;
}


like this:

-full reference: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/in_category
-this does not hide thumbs in the blocks or categories listings, it hides the featd image when viewing the post itself
-this will be gone after a theme update, remember to keep tabs on things like that

hope this helps, cheers.

Tried these things, but not able to find a clues against this issue, may be some plugin update do this, and i didn’t notice at that time, waiting for tagdiv guys to respond and help me in sorting this out.

Well… nothing suddenly “happens” on its own.

Good idea to
a) check to see if something got updated
b) check to see if something being inserted in page from plugin is breaking pages (try turning off plugins to see if something doing that)
c) try rolling back to last version if you updated something — again, the theme cannot magically break by itself
d) did you try checking a post with console (F12 in Chrome) for errors?

Are you using a custom template?
Since the html is only loading logo on IE, and nothing on Chrome, it looks like something is “bad” right at start of page loading.

This can be malformed custom CSS, malformed custom JS, inserted in head; it can be a bad bit of something inserted into head by a plugin, etc.

No idea beyond the above items.

TagDiv folk likely will have better answer, but basically the only way for something to “suddenly” stop working (as per past posts on your site issues), is for you to have changed something, or a plugin to suddenly have changed something. This is why “auto updates” are also a bad idea in case something doesn’t work with something else.

You might also try clearing your site cache if using plugin, or turn that off, if it got corrupted or isn’t house cleaning properly.

i did all of this and error 500 still here ^^

I use woocomerce plugin to check server status and i have 2 problems but i don’t know if it can explain the 500 error for Visual composer

Here are the 2 errors :

– Your server does not have the SOAP Client class enabled – some gateway plugins which use SOAP may not work as expected.

– wp_remote_get() failed. The WooCommerce plugin updater won’t work with your server. Contact your hosting provider. Status code: 403

Can u tell me ?

and there is the possibility of the home page to update post a subdomain?

You basically delete old plugins, install new ones. All plugins are updated this way; you never “over-write” plugins. You might try my “how to move to new theme” sticky post 🙂

Welcome! Note there are already couple of threads for this topic and they eventually stop getting updated at some point:

Oddly, why didn’t you include link to YOUR website if starting a new topic on showcasing sites using the theme ? 😉

Some of mine, if curious (all part of same network hence “sameyness” so won’t post them all …)

I don’t use child themes myself for two reasons (keeping in mind I’ve been building wordpress sites for 9 years now; both for our company and clients — and 20 years as of March 1, 2015 doing websites by hand):

1) it’s a CSS redirect; bad for Google, bad for pagespeed, and introduces some oddball gremlins with things loading from two places at once … seriously; have some weird gremlin? often it’s caching or child theme issue

2) often with many themes these days, the child theme gets updated along with the main theme for major security patches, feature updates; etc. (e.g., if you move to Newspaper ‘5’ next month, there will be new child theme — so, defeats the purpose of not editing the main files)

3) better to simply edit the main files and keep track of what you’re doing. This allows you to have fewer elements to keep track of overall and easier to back-up; easier to manage renaming folders for customization, etc.

Your mileage may vary, but that has been my experience. Especially if you use any kind of caching or systems like mod_pagespeed (as we do). Having a CSS redirect (where you’re essentially saying … load my CSS in one folder, but oh wait, NOW go load the real CSS from this other folder) — is NOT recommended by Google, but that is a basic precept of WordPress usage — started by WP, but not necessarily the best way to actually manage a site and content.

So, it’s up to you.

I don’t work here; it’s not my theme. I have been using Newspaper since Fall 2013; and this is just MY way of doing it. So, it’s only a “suggestion” on my part. Up to you. If you can live with some gremlins in how WP works, possibly pagespeed penalty from Google, and loading two sets of style sheet for the site every time the page is loaded … then enjoy. Nothing inherently wrong with it — but TIME magazine isn’t using a child theme when running WordPress; nor do I.

Need to clear your cache, both on server and in your web browser.

Basically your browser (and/or website) are loading the OLD CSS, which the new theme files don’t work with, so in effect no CSS loading.

Also remember you may need to update child theme also if using child theme (see changelog, depending on version you’re updating from). Try NOT using a child theme, unless you “must” do that for some oddball reason.

This is a normal caching problem, not an issue with theme, thankfully. 🙂

The version 1.5 changes;

note that some of the modules “changed” and so if you were using these ; they would need to be updated to the new names — or as we did on home page; just replace old item with new one. 🙂

[ Version 1.5 ]

The following shortcodes and widgets have been renamed:
* td_ad_box -> td_block_ad_box
* td_authors -> td_block_authors
* td_homepage_full_1 -> td_block_homepage_full_1
* td_popular_categories -> td_block_popular_categories
* td_video_vimeo -> td_block_video_vimeo
* td_video_youtube -> td_block_video_youtube
* td_text_with_title -> td_block_text_with_title
* td_slide -> td_block_slide
* td_social_counter -> td_block_social_counter
* Rename the short codes via SQL
* Please note that the renamed widgets have to be re added to each sidebar after this update. Make sure that you backup your database and if possible get the widget list from your sidebars.

Nope.
That was only if you somehow wanted to automagically update that stuff …

I never did any phpadmin thing to my sites on updating Newsmag… ever!

That was a special case. For us, we just had to fix one block that changed, and that wss it; just updated that, resaved home page. Done.

I think the MySQL thing was for folks who had built massive custom pages, categories, etc., using Visual Composer — in our case we only used it for home page and nothing else.

Hi
you can upgrade right to 1.71 — just be aware some of the codes on front page changed with Visual Composer and tagdiv blocks. So, you pretty much just need to revisit your home page after update and update/change a couple of blocks if they no longer work. Not too painful. 🙂

Thanks Chris for your comments.

When I updated I had hoped what you where saying would work. Unfortunately with the VC supplied with 1.7.1 renders the server unusable within a few minutes! Only a restart and quick removal of VC with Firezilla brings things back. I note you are suggesting using an older version which I might try if I am feeling brave!

I edited the code on the front page myself to clean it up. However I have another page which is producing just code on display which I might just have to disable until we have some better method of editing!

I note another popular ThemeForest theme is removing VC from their setup. So seems it is more than us that are dissatisfied with it. Unfortunately it also makes one concerned about NewsMag…
