Hello,
I followed the last-resort instructions by Chris according to this post: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/theme-update-blank-pages/#post-47315
a) switch to default theme
b) deactivate visual composer
c) deactivate all plugins
d) switch on visual composer
d) under appearance > preview theme for newsmag — if it won’t ‘preview’ at all; then you need to do CLEAN install of the theme, td plugins, and visual composer
e) once you can ‘preview’ the theme, then you can activate it and it will work.
f) then turn on plugins and if it dies, disable the bad plugin
My site is now all over the place if you go check it out: http://www.livelovefruit.com
The menu is weird, and nothing works. Everything looks normal in the theme panel and is set-up as it should be, but clearly there is something wrong with the code.
Hi, well … it looks like there is some fundamental incompatibility with the 1.7x fork of NewsMag and/or Visual Composer – and our system. I was having repeat server hiccups the past 14 days on/off again, which I thought “might” be related to the update we did of mod_pagespeed around the same time as installing NewMag 1.6 on one of our two highest volume sites.
After numerous “turn things off and see what happens” … I ended up switching the high production site back to an icky version of our old Woo Canvas layout without all our customizations (e.g., it won’t keep sidebar on iPad portrait, home page sucks, etc.) — and we rolled back mod_pagespeed one version. Server returned to normal.
Only normal minor php green to yellow doing something like regenerating 10 years of content thumbnails or republishing 15,000 pages of static content (.shtml/SSI) on our #1 site (not running WP, except old version of Newspaper for my personal blog with 10 entries or less!).
Okay — so, today, thinking we’re back in black — I installed NewsMag 1.7.1B, switched on Visual Composer, switched on Newsmag, switched back on our home page from draft, set that as static front page. Within 30 min. server went from typical ‘2″ load to “32” load and starting kicking me CPU warnings.
Time: Sun May 3 18:41:33 2015 -0400
1 Min Load Avg: 22.51
5 Min Load Avg: 10.53
15 Min Load Avg: 6.12
Running/Total Processes: 31/1043
As the above went to “32” while I was refreshing on server console, I had to restart Apache, then “Killed” visual composer, switched theme back to Woo Canvas (waaaah! Canvas….) …. server back down to normal:
CPU usage
Last 1 minute 1.02
Last 5 minutes 1.19
Last 15 minutes 1.06
Not sure yet what to do. NewsMag 1.4 and VC were rock steady, 1.5/1.6 started to see some increase in issues, 1.7 in any flavor kills us entirely and is not usable for our particular system.
My options right now seem to be:
a) try using theme without Visual Composer, try the custom home page blocks method with widgets; see if server will eat that without choking
b) build a new theme ourselves based on bootstrap 3 + siteorigin … (waaaah!)
c) go back to hacking a custom version of Woo Canvas (waaaaah!)
d) go on vacation and let everything just melt and go out of business … (hmmm… tempting …)
So, was supposed to be working on my ecom system on Sunday, but dealt with this for six hours. Too much fun.
Not much of a simple solution on this one, for me, at least.
I suppose I could switch on the 1.71 theme without VC and see what happens…. hmmm…..\

Seems like maybe I need PHP 5.5 to use the new version of these things.
Same problem here.
Firefox & Chrome not saving theme panel options, although after clicking “Save” a check mark appears but nothing is updated on the site. If I reload the theme panel – new settings were not applied.
Clearing browser cache does not help. Any suggestions?

additionally, i have purchased visual composer as an extra plugin and got informed there is an update.. does the theme update the composer as well ??
Hello,
I tried to do the latest update (via FTP) but something strange is happening with the header and the search button.
Old theme: http://www.nieuwetijdskind.com/theme1.jpg
New theme: http://www.nieuwetijdskind.com/theme2.jpg
Can you help? Thanks!
Sincerely, Niels
i received a mail. ” Hi cfpsts,
An update to your purchase of Newspaper by tagDiv is now available in your downloads.”
then i received this update. but i don’t know how to update.
how can i update this for my theme?
Hi folks:
requesting option to have the “time” shown in addition to date of publication next to author byline on the post pages.
Sadly ran into issue where the previous “fix” I have also suggested for adding time stamp to the time on the WP admin settings page, unfortunately “prints” that time stamp on the “by day” archives templates and couple other “date” based things where it should not.
Ideally the post “when published” option, common on news sites, SHOULD BE a combination of pulling BOTH the “date” setting + the “time” setting.
Presumably I can manually add this to the post template each update, but just ran into issue with some things where the “accepted” fix the past year on this topic is essentially NOT the best way to address this.
so, ideally we’d need something like
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_date(false);?> <?php echo $td_mod_single->get_time(false);?>
Well, VC does work
— obviously if you delete the old folder, you need to upload a new fresh copy — assuming you did that ?
Start up without ANY other plugins running; turn off all caching.
Make sure your server is setup for php to have at least 256MB RAM allocated to it.
Clear the cache in your web browser.
Typically best to update WP, before updating theme, in future… just a thought. Seems to work better than way.
If above doesn’t work, perhaps try:
First clear/disable any server caching, turn off mod_pagespeed if using it.
a) switch to default theme
b) deactivate visual composer
c) deactivate all plugins
d) switch on visual composer
d) under appearance > preview theme for newsmag — if it won’t ‘preview’ at all; then you need to do CLEAN install of the theme, td plugins, and visual composer
e) once you can ‘preview’ the theme, then you can activate it and it will work.
f) then turn on plugins and if it dies, disable the bad plugin
Went through this issue last week, actually.
I have this issue with some browsers, and kind of inconsistent.
With IE11 it seems to come and go; with Chrome seems to work all the time (this is on Windows7).
There doesn’t seem to be a fix for the issue with ajax/visual composer in the admin panel, and or the admin panel/ajax working 100% of the time across all browsers.
With IE11, I can sometimes do the trick in the theme panel of ignoring the floating ‘save’ button, and instead scroll ALL THE WAY TO BOTTOM and then click the bottom “save” button, and then I more often get the checkbox success as saved.
This is not just theme related, btw. With the last couple of WP updates (4.2x), I’ve also been having issues SAVING WIDGETS with IE11, which has only happened before with a couple of versions of WordPress.
Upshot — Firefox has hiccups with java/ajax stuff; Chrome seems most stable for us these days, Safari on Mac “mostly” good, and IE11/Win7 is about 75% reliable with WP these days.
Probably doesn’t help.
Try fully clearing your browser cache/temp files — that does seem to help here.
Hello,
So I just updated my theme, via FTP method. Then after, I updated wordpress. Now all there is is a blank page whenever I go to my website – just a white screen.
I had to revert to my back-up, now back to square one.
Thanks,
Carly
Okay, so I updated the theme via FTP method, do we need to do anything with the folder that says “patch_4.6.2_4.6.3”?
Simplest way is to upload the file from the theme download for Newsmag….
upload via FTP or from your hosting filemanager to /wp-content/themes/Newsmag/functions.php
“somehow got modified” is not a good thing …
nothing in the theme modifies that — so unless you have somebody working on that, you should make sure your site is fully patched and secure with latest version of WordPress 4.2.1 and double check ALL your plugins are updated/patched!
UPDATE:
One more thing: when I go to the CATEGORIES tab in the theme panel (all the time gray), the following message appears:
td_api_base: td_category_walker_panel is not set. A component with the id td_category_walker_panel is missing. This can be due to an older plugin.
/home/regulato/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/includes/wp_booster/td_wp_booster_functions.php
Missing parameter: 'file'
/home/regulato/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/includes/wp_booster/td_autoload_classes.php
Fatal error: Class 'td_category_walker_panel' not found in /home/regulato/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/includes/wp_booster/wp-admin/panel/views/td_panel_categories.php on line 157
Clicking other tabs displays nothing (empty area).

I am trying to install the Visual Composer plugin, following advice on https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
I reach Step 5, after the zip file is uploaded, and I press install. I then have an error message “The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.” and the plugin is not installed.
Have I done something wrong or is this load limitation fixed by my hosting company (1and1)? I am new to WordPress and welcome any help or ideas.
thank you

Hi,
I run my website at http://www.roadracing.no and publish each article on my facebook page too.
But now, after update I guess, Facebook does not import article images. Just text.
Is this a bug with the theme? What Can I do?
The strange thing is that Old articles created last week, imports images at facebook when I link. But not New articles.
Hi ,
I updated to latest newsmag.,

Please help.

Hi,
As noted on several topics the “child theme”/files overwrite system for modules/blocks/headers.. has been changed within latest theme updates, it will be api based. Form next theme version we expect to have the documentation for this ready and available.
Besides this we will fix other reported issues, no other new features. We haven’t decide on anything yet.
Thanks
Yes I have SEO by Yoast installed since last year that I bought the theme. It just got messed up since last update of WordPress, I have everything Up to date (theme and plugins). I have not installed any new plugins that could affect the seo yoast plugin because they are the same since many time ago.
I just noticed it this week, I thought it was something of my configuration on new posts but I have created more new posts and it’s the same.
I would appreaciate help because i post all my recent posts to facebook and twitter.
Regards
Hi,
1. We have it on our list, we’re looking for a fix, it will be fixed in one of the next updates.
2. If you don’t set a custom homepage wordpress automatically displays the blog page, the breadcrumbs appear because of that. If you want to remove the “Blog” breadcrumbs delete the following code – http://screencast.com/t/X2fFbbpEyjb4
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi,
Unfortunately we cannot install the theme for you, also we cannot provide any custom work for the moment. You can use this guide to upload your theme via ftp – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/ and also install the plugins that come with the theme’s files from the /plugins folder.
Thanks!
Hi,
I updated theme to Newsmag 1.7.1.
I need to translate dashboard/post/featured video/text.
Backend text: appear again,
Paste a link from Vimeo or Youtube, it will be embedded in the post and the thumb used as the featured image of this post
Notice: Use only with those post templates:
Post style default

As you reply:”Also you can remove that text from this file: http://screencast.com/t/fkdDJ6Rd3R” on March 20: “td_set_video_meta.php”. I can’t find exact place to change?
Thanks for your help.
Hi Chris,
Thank you for the tip but It is a paid product and I expected that changes in the updates were presented in the official page of the product, rather like as has been done in recent updates. Or that the programming team puts up a publication with changes here in the forum. Unfortunately this is something that has not happened this time and that’s why I asked.
