Hi,
If you haven’t made any modifications to theme files then you can use the FTP method from the video to updated your theme as the css from the custom css filed or theme settings will not be affected and it will style apply.
If you update the theme from one version to another them you can also use the patch provide within theme files, the patch contains just the modified files and can be used only if you update the theme from one version to another.
In your case you can use the patch as only update to version 4.6.2 contains modified files.
For each case I suggest you do a backup of your current theme installation as in case something goes wrong you can revert back to it.
Thanks
Hi,
Sorry for all the trouble and for the inconvenience unfortunately as this hasn’t been changed within latest updates.
We have this on our attention and try to find a better implementation within newspaper 5 theme version.
You can try the solution Radu suggested until then.
Thanks for the message and for understating!
Hi,
Yes, if you chose to update the theme by uploading theme files via FTP (recommended update method) this changes will be overwritten and you’d have to make them again.
Thanks
No problem 🙂 you may need to make that change again when the theme is updated but it’s a quick fix
Hi!
I Just updated my Newspaper Theme from 4.6.1 assuming it would update into 4.6.2, however, in the appearance -> Themes it say I got version 444
Do I need to reinstall the theme or does everyone get this “error”?
Thanks in advance
Note the support hours from TagDiv, top right this page.
They are closed weekends.
I don’t work here, just helping out (I am actually migrating a site from 1.4 to 1.6 “right now” — and also migrating another site from Woo Canvas to 1.6 at same time). 🙂
Note that “most” stuff gets written to the rendered page as https via their if/then on a lot of code. It’s just a few stragglers. I only ran into it working on using 1.4-1.6 for our business site which is all https, but we only use WP for couple of things like a blog, and the new ecom system WooCommerce (moving from CubeCart 5). So, that was acid test for couple of things.
Since “most” people don’t run in https always on, many have not run into it. You and I are in the minority around these parts 🙂
AND, obviously, if you run Chrome browser, it will tell you if something isn’t loading over https in the error console. (Highly recommended!) — so, go to a page on your site, and if something isn’t https — it will tell you WHAT …. In my case one of the fonts for the admin panel wasn’t loading via https even though the codebase was there to do //google, it seemed to need “explicit” https://google to work right.
So, probably if you are doing what I call the “acid test” for your site in https, keep a note of those things, and send an email to Radu with all the “https/SSL” issues you have run into which need explicit https calls from external or internal elements. He *will* fix that in next update.
So, you and I are kind of the beta testers on this.
Are there any other http to https:// changes I need to make to get the theme to run smoothly with SSL?
I noticed in
/includes/modules/td_module_single.php
some of the social buttons are in http should I go and change these to https??????
May this be the answer to the problem I am seeing with the facebook sharing? The facebook button is http but some others are https://
Will this be included in future updates or will I have to change these files every time we update? The issue was pointed out a couple of months ago.
I appreciate we are probably in the minority using site wide SSL but this is only going to get more common as people follow Googles lead
I love the theme and would greatly appreciate your feedback
Thinking about it I would have to do these http to https:// changes again as I have updated the theme?
Ok, so I updated both sites to the new version of the theme and now I have a uniform outcome. Neither of them work.
On my main site that was working before now I just have blank boxes in the posts where the videos should be, this has effected all video posts not just vimeo. I had been adding featured images as the video embed function wasn’t generating the images for the homepage I have tried removing these to see if it will generate the required images and it wont, the boxes on the front page are blank if I remove the featured images
Can you tell me where that file lives Chris, I can’t find it, I am pretty sure I have already done this change on my main site though.
Hi,
I’ve just updated to the latest version of the theme but the situation is still the same on my test site.
I can’t see a featured image on the homepage in any of the blocks and I have no video in post. I have tried to add the URL with the HTTPS and without it with 3 different vimeo videos but still nothing.
I have also tried to embed a youtube video and that is the same, blank! Nothing.
I have deactivated all of the plugins and cleared all of the caches and tried again but no joy, I have viewed the site on my iphone, ipad and laptop and the results are the same.
I’ve no idea what the 109 thing is or why it would be trying to do something other than it is supposed to do in wordpress, I wouldn’t want to or know how to mess with that stuff?
I use site wide SSL on all my sites, not sure if this could cause problems?
I’ll update my main site to the new version of the theme and see what happens with that
Not a bug in theme, we embed videos from both YouTube and Vimeo all the time.
These embed via OEMBED into a post, which is a built in function of WordPress inside posts, and with a wrapper for featured video, so that it fills the space.
I’m not sure why the line 109 in your setup would be trying to load an external website URL via FOPEN (which should be done via CURL anyway) … loading the proper VIMEO URL should simply do that in the normal iframe.
If you look at the actual line 109, it’s simply to get headers:
function is404($url) {
$headers = get_headers($url);
if (strpos($headers[0],'404') !== false) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
Remember NOT to put https in front of the shortcode URLs (youtu.be), only the full youtube.com URLs.
With Vimeo, be sure the video allows it to be used on other sites, depending on country of origin and copyright elements.
Not sure that helped. Just noticed this and had a thought or two.
You should update to 1.6, as it’s much better than 1.4 (lots of improvements). I was pleasantly surprised.
Use my upgrade guide for ‘best way’ to ensure clean upgrade.

I’ve just asked my brother to try and embed a vimeo video on his site that uses this theme and his is broken too, that’s 4 of us if you count me twice?
Is there any fix in the new version of the theme and does it have to be updated via ftp or is there another way?
If I use either of those options, changes will be overwritten by a theme update wont they?
Hi,
Do you refer to the post title? If you do, you will need custom modifications and it is not an easy task I suggest to hire a professional as we cannot provide custom work at this time as we work on updates/development and support. Sorry for this!
Thanks!
Hi,
Please try this without any plugins active, leave only Visual Composer active, empty cache and purge your files if you use CDN. Also update your theme if you don’t use the latest version 1.6 Use this guide if you need to update(FTP method): https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/
Do you have this issue since you use the theme or this issue appeared from now?
Thanks!

Hi,
Please deactivate all plugins, leave only Visual Composer active, also clear cache and purge your files if you use CDN and check if you still have this issues. Please also make sure that you use the latest theme version(1.6) and you update the plugins that come with the theme files from ../plugins folder.
Let me know how it goes.
7. Please remove logo image for mobile, as you use Blog Style and you have text logo.
Thanks!
Hi,
Newsmag is designed to work on desktop, tablet and mobile, also the megamenu works only on desktop and tablet screens. Even you hide mobile menu, the megamenu will not work properly on mobile view. You will need custom modifications for that, it’s not an easy task we cannot provide custom work at this time as we work on updates/development and support.
Thanks!
I noticed that the panel for categories have changed slightly with the latest Newsmag theme update. In the category panel, I had the ‘show featured slider’ turned off, but since that option is no longer in the panel, I disabled the ‘category top posts style’. However, the big grid still shows the category featured slider on mobile and tablet devices.
Furthermore, other changes like disabling the category header did not reflect on mobile. How do I fix this?
Hi guys,
Did a couple of searches on this topic but nothing came up. I updated my Newspaper version in the last month and all wen’t ok except the “last 7 day popular sort” funtion which seems to be “frozen” on my website. If you look at my homepage (midpage, right) i have a component that lists the most popular articles in the last 7 days (frozen), the latest posts (ok), and the all time popular ones (ok).
I’ve tried to remove and reinsert the funcion to check if it somewhat “rebooted” the function but with no success. How can i fix this?
Cheers,
HI, Marius
thanks for all of that; truly awesome 🙂
And yes, I did want to make the text larger for the “Proceed to Checkout” button at bottom of the cart page, so that it’s basically more prominent than the update cart, apply coupon buttons (put another way, kind of like having an h2 vs h3 … so people who have not used this checkout can SEE where to go NEXT more clearly).
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
Hi,
1. I’ve fixed the buttons issue on cart page, this is the fix, if you want to use it until the next update
@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px) {
.woocommerce-cart .woocommerce .coupon {
float: left !important;
padding-bottom: 0 !important;
}
}
@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px) {
.woocommerce-cart .woocommerce .button {
width: auto !important;
}
}
@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px) {
.woocommerce-cart .woocommerce .actions {
text-align: right !important;
}
}
2.
a) do you want to remove those lines: http://screencast.com/t/C02fdMGIMG0 if yes use this CSS:
.woocommerce .woocommerce-message,
.woocommerce .woocommerce-error,
.woocommerce .woocommerce-info {
border: 0 !important;
}
b) For that icon, you can replace it with this CSS, from font-awesome or other font you want, just replace the content with the icon you want. For test i just copied an icon from this chart: http://fontawesome.io/cheatsheet/
Result: http://screencast.com/t/C02fdMGIMG0
.woocommerce .woocommerce-error:before,
.woocommerce .woocommerce-info:before,
.woocommerce .woocommerce-message:before {
content: "";
font-family: fontawesome;
}
About the Proceed to Checkout button do you want to make it more larger, e.g. 16px?! Where? Sorry but i don’t understand here what do you want exactly.
Thanks for the message!
Have a nice day
Buna,
Problema playlist-ului poate fii din cauza configuratiei host-ului.
Daca nu ai alte modificari facute temei te rog incearca sa urmezi instrctiunile this acest ghid si sa actualizezi tema copiind fisierele pe FTP: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/
Procedeaza la fel pentru Visual Composer: https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
Anunta-ne pe email daca nu reusesti sa remediezi asta.
Mersi!
I know updatet the theme and Visual Composer and JetPack. It says version 444 so I hope that is correct. It hasnt done any difference but maybe if I update Revolution slider? If I do that then I have to make the templates with animation and the post slide again.
A link to the site is: http://www.krimbloggen.no/
I will let it have the frontpage with the revolutionslider on until you have seen the problem.
Thanks!!
Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion, unfortunately at he moment I can only add this on our feature request list and we will consider it for future updates, so I can’t offer you an exact answer on this at the moment.
Thanks
