Hi,
A test on our demo shows that its mobile friendly and doesn’t have any issues: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdemo.tagdiv.com%2Fnewspaper%2F
According to google your site appears not mobile friendly due to multiple reasons: http://screencast.com/t/082WVTNfz
I suggest you test this first without using any plugins, leave just theme’s Visual Composer plugin and also make sure that you disable all html/js compression and test again.
Also make sure that you follow their instructions on how to unblock resources and let google bot view your page correctly, all this guides/tutorials are provided by google in your test page:
– https://developers.google.com/webmasters/mobile-sites/mobile-seo/common-mistakes/blocked-resources?hl=en-US&utm_source=MFT&utm_campaign=MFT&utm_medium=incoming-link
– https://developers.google.com/webmasters/mobile-sites/references/faq?hl=en-US&utm_source=MFT&utm_campaign=MFT&utm_medium=incoming-link#whats-the-difference-between-the-pagespeed-insights-ux-score-and-the-mobile-friendly-test-results
Please also note that the mobile friendly test is a new feature from google, the mobile friendly algorithm being released by Google on April 21st so we haven’t dealed enough with it to fully understand it. You can do it yourself though and go trough their guides/documentation to learn more about it: https://developers.google.com/webmasters/mobile-sites/get-started/?hl=en-US&utm_source=MFT&utm_medium=incoming-link&utm_campaign=MFT
We will release the new version 5 of newspaper theme which will be a major update with new design and lots of new features and we will make sure that we’ll test it with this new tool from google.
Thanks
Hi,
Replied via dashboard:
You cannot use the patch, it only works if you have v4.6.2.
Yes you can copy the files which were updated in v4.6.2 and then the files included in 4.6.3 patch.
If you didn’t do any modifications on the theme code you could overwrite the entire theme.
Thank you, Emil G.

Hi,
I see that constant request is made for the admin-ajax file: http://screencast.com/t/aB3cZWc3EE5 I believe this is made by the Heartbeat Control plugin which I suggest you disable and also disable the rest of them, leave just the theme’s Visual Composer and test again.
To reduce the number of request made to the admin ajax file you can also disable the ajax view counter feature if you’re using it as this is actually calling ajax file for each post view to update the counter: http://screencast.com/t/MC4wUfU8
You can also try to reduce the number of blocks/queries on your homepage. The admin ajax file is also called allot when customizing the theme and making change in the theme panel. Not sure how you could avoid that however if you still experience problems with this you could also consider changing hosts as access tot his file resources is requested by the WordPress and by the theme.
Thanks
thanks will try cloudflare, it is asking me to update my DNS – is it safe?
Hi,
From which version did you updated the theme?
Please update your theme via FTP – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/ and also the plugins that come with the theme’s files from /plugins folder – https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
Try to delete the js_composer folder from plugins and upload again Visual Composer from the files that you have downloaded from themeforest. Let me know.
Thanks!
Hi,
The td_module.php file was not changed in the latest update, on line 110 there’s the date displayed on modules – http://screencast.com/t/ZyKoByR4E
Did you modified anything on that section? what settings do you use on Settings -> General section? – http://screencast.com/t/LPhNnARmIHu
Thank you, Emil G.

Hi,
Thanks Chris for all this feedback and updates on this. I’ve tested this myself and found that on some older posts the description is actually pulled by google and it works fine using Yoast’s og:description meta, however on some other posts it doesn’t even though the description tag is present. This is strange as the seems to have the same open graph tags and the same structure the g+ sharer doesn’t add the description.
We’ll dig a little deeper into this and see if we find a reason or a fix on this in next theme versions.
Thanks
Hi Emil,
Envato Toolkit didn’t display update so used FTP.
Regards
Derek
Hi,
@findlay – i see you managed to update the theme, did you got the update message from the toolkit or you used the manual update method?
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi Alin
The theme version is 1.5 and the social counter 2.10.
I guess you’ll tell me to update the theme, right? Can you send me a link to a doc/page which explains how to update correctly the theme? I suppose I’ll lose all the changes I made in code, right?
Thx
Rui
Hi,
First backup the files and the database – https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
Then, as GadgetViper said, chose one of the methods described in the documentation.
Also update the plugins, you can find them in the theme package, inside the Plugins folder – http://screencast.com/t/ffz7PjVTgSA
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi,
We only made one update Friday 24.04.2015, maybe Envato delivered it by mistake.
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi,
First backup the files and database.
Disable all plugins.
Then download the theme package, copy the theme latest version files over the existing ones and chose overwrite all.
Update Visual Composer, Social Counter and the other plugins, enable the plugins and check if there are any issues.
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi,
It should be there now, it takes some time for Envato to update the status after each update. If you still have this issue please provide more details.
Thank you, Emil G.
I guess the theme panel stoped to work since last update. I’m not really sure cos’ Its been like a month since last time I tried to change a setting.
Anyways,the links of the left menu dont work after the Category settings.
I have this error message below the “per categoy settings”.
Per category settings
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/animarte/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/includes/wp_booster/td_wp_booster_functions.php
Missing parameter: 'file'
/home/animarte/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/includes/wp_booster/td_autoload_classes.php
Fatal error: Class 'td_category_walker_panel' not found in /home/animarte/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/includes/wp_booster/wp-admin/panel/views/td_panel_categories.php on line 157
After that, any other option in the menu doesnt load.
I’ve already tried to update all the plugins and also deactivating them all, even reinstall the theme, but nothing seems to work.
Hi,
I updated all that have been listed below but my version still shows 444. Do you know why??
functions.php
includes\plugins\js_composer.zip
includes\plugins\revslider.zip
includes\plugins\td-social-counter.zip
includes\plugins\td-speed-booster.zip
includes\td_wordpres_booster.php
includes\wp_booster\external\class-tgm-plugin-activation.php
includes\wp_booster\td_config.php
includes\wp_booster\td_video_playlist_support.php
includes\wp_booster\td_video_support.php
Hi,
We did not tested the plugin with our theme. Could you provide a link to this plugin(if is a free plugin)?
Also if this plugin use shortcodes you can add it in post template and replace theme’s social share – http://screencast.com/t/VP5I8cUeC
On custom modifications we can provide some guidance but we cannot provide full solutions, if you have many modifications I suggest that you look for a developer to make them for you.
Please make a backup of your current theme installation before an update. If you have custom modification to the files you will need to re-add them as when you update the theme these files will be overwritten. The styling options you’ve set in the WordPress Theme Customize or in the Theme Panel – those options should not be affected by updating your theme.
Thanks!

Hi,
Can you provide more details as I have checked your site and it working fine at least from my side.
Did you updated your theme via FTP?
Do you have news ticker on your homepage?
If you still have this issue please make sure that you check this also without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer active and also clear cache. Let me know!
Thanks!
Hi,
2. Please update you theme to the latest version 1.7.1 using this guide(FTP method): https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/ as in the 1.7 version it was an issue with ads (eliminate the codes). This issue was fixed in the latest version.
10. The image appear like this because of it aspect ratio. The image is catted for different sizes for modules – http://screencast.com/t/bmsl1KdRws4 so the image is cropped center top at that height. You can change the height size so the aspect ratio of the image to be closer to the aspect ratio of the picture(default image).
You can find out more about this here – http://www.davidtan.org/wordpress-hard-crop-vs-soft-crop-difference-comparison-example/
13. You can set your sidebar for categories from Theme Panel > Categories section – http://screencast.com/t/GMB0Cxpe1knq add widgets into the sidebar from Widgets – http://screencast.com/t/j3z3jsgnt
Also if you want to use the same sidebar on your pages please use Widgetised sidebar block in your page and set the sidebar to display: http://screencast.com/t/6wlYuuZ43
Thanks!
After updating the theme newspaper to the last version, 4.6.3, and the plugins too, visual composer doesn’t work properly. When I see the tutorial, it shows that if you go to Grid elements and click on add new, you should see a “Preview” button at the top right corner of the grid element builder which I cannot see, so I cannot preview de grid before publishing it.
Moreover, when editing or creating a page, the tutorial shows that a button called “Frontend” should be placed at the top right corner of the Visual Composer, but I cannot see that button. So, when I try to add new elements, some of them are not available, for example post grid, media grid, and more…
These problems were supposed to be fixed with the theme update, but they aren’t.
Hi,
I am not able to update the wordpress to latest version what might be the potential issues, i dont see the latest version notification on the admin panel …

Hello Chris,
Thanks for replying.
I’ve updated the nonce codes in my wp-config file using this site: https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/

Hi,
@debarup Unfortunately we cannot update the theme for you but you can use this guide for update(FTP method) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/ and also update the plugins that come with the theme’s files from the /plugins folder – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
Thanks!
Newspaper updated today and also the Visual Composer. Now Visual Composer is presenting error editing:
Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to Vc_Edit_Form_Fields::setSettings() must be of the type array, null given, called in /home/uba435dt/public_html/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/include/classes/editors/class-vc-edit-form-fields.php on line 47 and defined in /home/uba435dt/public_html/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/include/classes/editors/class-vc-edit-form-fields.php on line 68
Chris,
Please accept my humble and heartfelt apologies. Had to upload theme update and js_composer update using ftp.
Then I thought I would raise the problem with Hostgator again and this is what they said:
The php.ini has it set, but the domain hasn’t been pointed to that .ini file. Bear with me just a moment.
(8:16 am) [Robin R.] So you know, I included this code in the .htaccess file, to point the site to use the custom php.ini that was set up in the same directory:
<IfModule mod_suphp.c>
suPHP_ConfigPath ./php.ini
<Files php.ini>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
</IfModule>
So as you can see the first time I contacted Hostgator although they increased the upload file size allowed they forgot to include the code in the .htaccess file to point the domain to the custom php.ini file with the 1000mb max file size.
Maybe this will help others who encounter the same problem.
Best wishes
Derek
