Hi,
Please make sure that you use the latest theme version 1.6. If you need to update please follow this guide to update and use FTP method: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/ and also update the plugins that come with the theme’s files in /plugins folder. If you don’t use the latest version that is the reason there are differences in Theme Panel.
You don’t have to install addition widget for log in form, just activate it from Theme Panel > Header > Top Bar: http://screencast.com/t/iUW1mjTQhb
Also if you need registration please enable it from Settings: http://screencast.com/t/8rc4iWTIR1
Our documentation will also help: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-documentation/
Thanks!
Hi,
We found a solution for the moment if you want to order subcategories in the megamenu by slug but you need to edit this file: http://screencast.com/t/cgyJzstqK6 and change the categories slug in order that you want to appear: http://screencast.com/t/6voSeTsK
'orderby' => 'slug'
Result: http://screencast.com/t/M3461WNMvW
So if you like this solution please try it and you can disable Taxonomy plugin and see if the other issue is solved.
Also if you want to update your theme please follow this guide(use FTP method) and make a backup of your current theme installation: forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/ The styling options you’ve set in the WordPress Theme Customize or in the Theme Panel – those options will not be effected by updating your theme, only customizations from theme files.
Thanks!
thank you Lucian
unfortunately I cannot do without the Taxonomy plugin because it’s the only way to order categories in MEgamenu
(as you said me here https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/megamenu-order/#post-40757)
I could try to update the theme, but in this case would I loose all the customizations I did on the theme (colors, typography, custom css,…)??
I would like to modify the file where you run the videos. I would like not to show related videos. Can you let me know what file to modify or if this something you guys can release in a coming update?
Hi,
I encounter an issue while installing the latest version of visualo composer that comes packaged with the March-April update of Newspaper: version 4.6.5. On openeing the Add New Grid Element page of VC, I get this error:
Can anyone help? Thanks.
Hi there,
I’m having some trouble with the information displayed in Reviews on the Google testing tool when using reviews. To address this I’d need to move the closing </article> tag to immediately after the article content, ignoring any sidebar or related/author articles box which also include article markup. Is there a way to do this without affecting the layout? Is this being addressed for future updates?
Thanks!
Hi Lucien,
Yeah, I’ve done all of that.
The one thing that sticks in my mind now I think about it was that I updated all of my sites to the latest version of the theme on the same day and that was what caused the problem to occur on all of them, it was only happening on 1 of them to begin with.
My brother has a site that’s running on the previous iteration of the site (1.5?) and that works fine (he has the same hosting plan and settings)
I’m going to try and reload the previous version of the theme and see if that makes a difference.
I’ve been on to the server people again, allow_url_fopen is enabled but it is still showing the error, I had read that apache would need to be restarted for the changes to take effect but don’t know if this is correct, I have sent a message asking them for clarification.
Some good suggestions; I’m kind of expecting the “next” version of Newspaper to have the same benefits of existing theme, updated grid options, and some of the “tricky” things baked into Newsmag. Obviously there would be no point in simply doing everything like Newsmag. I also think Newspaper should have more focus on “newspaper” layout things, like the L.A. Times, and less of a magazine focus — although that is kind of nonsense to even say in terms of online publishing. Seems like there would still be some differentiation …. perhaps Newspaper will generally remain the “wide body” and Newsmag thje “narrow body” — perhaps Newspaper will include option to do both, although the if/then statements on that would be insane! 🙂
Of course, with a newspaper focus, you need more “localized” things and with a magazine you need more “national” things.
It will be awesome to see what they come up with next 🙂
For our purposes, I’m kind of shifting everything to Newsmag for now.
A question that’s been bugging me since a couple days. Newspaper is the more popular and costlier alternative to Newsmag. It is also Tagdiv’s featured theme. And yet I find that Newspaper lacks many of the features that Newsmag has. For example, there is the post carousel, the lightbox for all images and a better slideshow. Newsmag also looks sleeker and better decorated. All this raised a question in my mind: was it a good decision from my end to buy Newspape for $58, when I could have just bought Newsmag, with more features and a better appearance, for just $48? Also, is there any other reason except for Newspaper’s popularity, as to why it is costlier? Is it at all possible for Newspaper to include the fabulous features that Newsmag, including a special stack called “magazine” in the next update? Finally, can we expect Newspaper 5 to be a better alternative to Newsmag 1 in the coming days?
Thanks for bearing with my queries. You guys are just fabulous!
Update:
The issue is with my local environment.
I did a refresh install on my live web server, the demo installed in less than millisecond ! Issue resolved.
By the way any one have a suggestion, what could be causing the issue on my local XAMPP environemnt ? I will further research on my end.
Thanks,
Thank you for your answer.
Waiting for updates.
Hi,
Please give us wp-access so we can have a closer look at those errors and share your login details at contact@tagdiv.com
Seems that allow_url_fopen should be set on by default and some php functions need to have this on to retrieve data from remote locations so I don’t think this has something to do with https/SSL. Try to also test this with allow_url_fopen enabled if possible and see how it goes.
I’m not aware of the changes you’ve made to the td_video_support.php so please also include a copy of that file in your email message or use http://pastebin.com/ to send it’s content so we can know.
If you’ve tested this on each cases using A2 hosting then this could still be due to your host configurations.
If the only issues present now are the warning you get then you could try to disable them as php warnings and notifications are only shown if the debug mode is enabled to your wp-config file, this is set to disabled by default and they are meant for local testing and staging installs. You can disable it to get rid of those warning, you can find more info about this here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress
You can also use other plugins and continue with your development. The theme doesn’t have buddy press support at the moment but we will add it and it will be available in the next theme version.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Please let us know on any updates related to this.
Thanks
Hi,
1. You can change footer background from Theme Panel > Theme Colors: http://screencast.com/t/2yBVGWU0Q
2. Please follow this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/big-slide-left-to-right-fonts-arabic/
3-4 Provide a link and more details.
5. Please try this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/pAFd6TGGvSvb
.block-mega-child-cats{
text-align:left;
}
.block-mega-child-cats a{
padding: 6px 0px 6px 21px;
}
.td_block_mega_menu .td-ajax-next-page{
left: auto;

background-position: -20px -1948px;
}
.td_block_mega_menu .td_ajax-prev-page{

background-position: -20px -1990px;
}
You can change mega menu fonts from Theme Panel > Custom Typography: http://screencast.com/t/kiw8KbAEqo2
6. I’m not sure what you mean. If you want to change block title an excerpt fonts you can do this from Theme Panel > Custom Typography: http://screencast.com/t/QcbCK4H4EXoK – http://screencast.com/t/1bKn85xOlz
Please search the forum for suggestion and fixes for the issue you may encounter with this and you should also consider that unfortunately we recently have decided that starting with the next theme update we will not include rtl support within the theme. You can still use the theme as it is but unfortunately you cannot updated it as you will lose the rtl support or you can update it and make yourself the necessary adjustments needed.
Thanks!
Hi,
We plan to add features like smart lists and smart sidebar on Newspaper v.5, we’re working on it. We also plan to add the page Mega Menu (Travel – on Newsmag).
The Big Grid issue is on our list, we’ll fix it in a future update, it appears when you zoom-out on the browser.
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi,
The checkbox can be found in http://themeforest.net/downloads – ex. – http://screencast.com/t/ZMkr0QmkfiE
You can also install the envato plugin which enables automatic updates, check this guide section 2 – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/
The update can also be done manually via ftp.
Thank you, Emil G.
Yup… Check the box on the themeforest downloads page in your account. I always get updates email with no prob.
Just dl’d Newspaper and am configuring it. Saw that Visual Composer has an upgrade and came here to figure that out… so I need to wait for the Newspaper upgrade. How will I know when an upgrade is avaialble, and where will I dl it? Themeforest?
Thanks guys!
Any updates on this please?
Thank you!
Might be your internet connection timing out;
might be Windows doing a system update today for new fixes;
might be server overloaded; check server error logs.
I am NOT having this issue on two sites running Newspaper.
I’m having problem to update users in all websites using the Nespaper theme. The process times out an takes me to a common Google’s error page saying “This page cannot be displayed”.
This happen only in websites using this theme. Websites using other themes work well.
Of course, I have tested disabling all plugins ton not avail.
I will appreciate your help.
HI,
we actually had this issue after theme update. “Resaving” the block again, and then resaving the main page cleared it up for us. Might not be your issue, but this happened in Chrome.
It also happens in Chrome if you set your browser magnification to 90% in Chrome, but not IE11. Oddly.
Hi,
Please follow our guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ In general google synchronous ads, plugins and theme customization (especially fonts) slow the site.
Update your theme if you are not using the latest version to 4.6.2 following this guide and use FTP method: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/ and make sure that you update the plugins that come with the theme’s files from the /plugins folder.
Also you can follow and use all instructions provided in all this treads:
* https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/pagespeed/
* https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-chriss-custom-optimizations-for-functions-php-etc/

Thanks!
can I private message you the URL?
#2 taken care of. I must have not clicked update when I changed the settings.
Thanks.
Hi,
Only the file custom code modification are lost, the theme settings (the ones you made on Theme Panel, the menus, etc….) won’t be lost. If you kept the original directory (Newspaper) you could just switch to another theme, delete Newspaper, then install and activate the latest version.
Before each update create a backup for database and files, if something goes wrong with the update you can revert to the previous setup and try again.
Thank you, Emil G.
Any changes you made to the original theme files will be over-written regardless, so you should keep track of those.
When you update theme, most settings for theme are retained due to WordPress “transient” settings. Usually the only thing that sometimes gets “munched” is a couple of sidebar settings, that you can resave. Also you often need to go to your home page and just “save” it again.
You can also “export” your theme settings from the theme panel at bottom, which is good habit to get into 🙂
