Hi,
Please make sure that you update your child theme and use the files provide within theme’s files downloaded from theme forest.
I’ve added this on our list for further testing to see if we can recreate this. Please let me know how it goes and also if you have any other info related to this.
You can do your changes to the main theme files until we can provide an accurate answer on this.
Thanks
Hi,
Sorry for the inconvenience and for the delay!
Please download the latest theme version(4.6.1) from themeforest: http://themeforest.net/downloads
Update the theme to the latest version using this guide and the FTP method: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/ make sure do a backup of your current theme installation before updating it so you can revert back to it if something goes wrong.

Hi,
Unfortunately the speed booster plugin purpose is to move js and css stylesheets to the bottom of the page, this actions could cause issues like the one you describe.
In order to prevent this we have, by default, left the themes file css at the top of the page, please check your page source code and that this css is loaded at the top of the page.
I’ll add this on our list for further investigation and try to find a solution for this in future updates.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Thanks for the message!
Hi, can you please help me with this problem?
http://www.kidstown.sk/wp-admin/update-core.php
Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_json_encode() in /nfsmnt/hosting1_1/2/b/2b4ac974-79b1-4f80-a2fc-fe57f67090d4/kidstown.sk/web/wp-includes/update.php on line 277
How can I fix it?

Hi,
First please make a backup to your current theme installation if you update so in case something goes wrong you can revert back to it. Major change was in version 3.7: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-v-3-7/
If you want to update please follow our guide and use ftp method: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/ also please update plugins that come with the theme’s files-you can find them in /plugins folder.
You can take look here and you will find all changes till current version: http://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609
Also if you don’t want to update to the latest version and need another version of Newspaper please send your request at contact@tagdiv.com and also include a link to this topic.
Thanks!
Hi,
The theme doesn’t have an option for this. You will need custom modification and it is not an easy task. You can get someone to help you with this as unfortunately we cannot offer custom work because we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support.
We will try to add an option in future updates!
Thanks!
Hello,
This solution: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/category-color-2/ – does not work anymore after the last update. Can you help me agian please?
Sincerely, Niels
Hi,
Unfortunately the theme was initially designed at that width with an fixed grid layout and changing it would not be easy as it needs changing the width value for all elements on pages and for this you would need custom work. The newsmag theme has it’s full width 1021px.
I have tried a css solution to create a border over the image for your site: http://screencast.com/t/B27txFYaDy
.home .td-pb-span4 .td_module_mx1 .td-block14-border {
background-color: white;
display: block !important;
height: 220px;
right: -3px;
position: absolute;
width: 3px;
z-index: 1;
}
Please add css code in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/gw9OG0KDZSx
Also please provide more detail about the tab title, if you refer to these titles: http://screencast.com/t/no5PoFgw there is no option for this and you will need custom modifications. You can get someone to help you with this as unfortunately we cannot offer custom work because we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support. You can always get a freelancer from sites like: http://studio.envato.com/
Thanks!
SOLUTION…
When updating the URL in the code, you must update both files: http://screencast.com/t/Sqhn96YIPwXi …. Not just the td_social_counter_010.php
like this: http://screencast.com/t/vNRfUF0G
Then it will work
I have a problem with the backend of the theme that causes the 504/502 errors on the site when we get a spike in traffic. The backend and the front of the site will become unresponsive for a couple minutes at the time due to this. We have it hosted on a premium tier 1 plan with WP Engine so the server shouldn’t be an issue. We get about 1.5 million page views a month and climbing.
This is the ticket reply I got from the tech team at WP Engine:
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Hey there, Sasha!
It was a pleasure speaking with you over the phone earlier! I truly apologize for all of the delay!
Upon investigation into the time the server load spiked, I see the only install affected with 504/502 errors was *******. I can see /admin-ajax.php was hit about 21 times in a minute on that install. This is quite high and will definitely cause 504/502 errors. The highest hits I calculated in a 10 minute window:
160 [action] => td_ajax_update_views
54 [action] => heartbeat
40 [action] => td_ajax_block
I searched in your plugins/themes to see what could be causing this high of an admin-ajax hit and found the following paths:
wp-content/themes/Newsmag/includes/wp_booster/td_ajax.php
532:function td_ajax_update_views() {
555:add_action( ‘wp_ajax_nopriv_td_ajax_update_views’, ‘td_ajax_update_views’ );
556:add_action( ‘wp_ajax_td_ajax_update_views’, ‘td_ajax_update_views’ );
wp-content/themes/Newsmag/js/tagdiv_theme.js
3249: page_type_action = ‘td_ajax_update_views’;
What I recommend is taking these details to a developer or the theme developer to limit the admin-ajax.php requests way down.”

How can we get this sorted out?
thank you,
Sasha
Thanks for the answer, I’ll wait for the adding vk.com to the Social Counter in the next updates.
Thank you for your fast reply,
We are using latest available WordPress 4.1.1 version. We have been keeping our site updated very quickly in last 4 years.
No we don’t use drag and drop image upload, we choose images from local computer and upload. There is no problem uploading images to site. However, when we open the media library in the post to choose images to add inside the post, media library is empty.
Then sometimes media library images show, then we choose one or more picture and click on add to post, nothing happens. Thats the main problem here.
I have found out some posts concerning empty media library or being unable to place images from library to the posts. They all focused on functions.php. However I have no idea which part is responsible for this problem. There is some random conflict with theme that we can’t pinpoint.
How do you suggest we change the default update time in functions.php? If there is a link or guide you can provide it would be very helpful.
Regards,
Yep! It’s working now without problems as they corrected the weird issue where it wasn’t working well with the older 3.2 Hopefully that now allows everyone to update and enjoy 1.6. 🙂
I like that the footers in 1.6 have tons of new options..really useful! Only glitch I’ve seen so far is that every time the page loads, the menu looks like the standard blue line over black background menu (like on demo site) until the page fully loads then it changes to what I had it set to be: a menu with no background and no white line (it didn’t used to load like that till the update, not sure why it does that though).
Hi,
1. If you modify the image sizes you need to regenerate the thumbnails to see the changes then inspect the image to be sure there is the correct image size. At this moment your images are at 300x300px. About number of columns, there’s no settings in WooCommerce to do that and this can be changed via a hook(custom code).
2. This will be fixed in the next update, the bug is from the latest WooCommerce version. Untill that you can use this CSS to fix it
.wc-proceed-to-checkout {
clear: both;
text-align: right;
}
.woocommerce-cart .wc-proceed-to-checkout a.checkout-button {
display: inline-block;
}
3. The issue is not the theme, some plugins need custom integration with each theme to work, like WooCommerce plugin to. You saw that on that plugin with real estate.
I don’t have the plugin to test it, sorry about that, if you want you ca try this from here: https://support.woothemes.com/hc/en-us/articles/203987053-Show-a-custom-template-for-the-vendor-shop-page-taxonomy-
Hi,
Unfortunately there is no option to do this. Smart list overwrite image settings so the caption also won’t be displayed. Sorry for inconvenience!
Also VK cannot be added for the moment to Social Counter but it is on our list and it will be added in future updates.
Thanks!
Hi,
I just updated via FTP to version 1.6. It actually worked when deactivating visual composer. See here: http://todosobrecamisetas.com/homepage
I have the plug in license already, but I am not sure if I should upload the latest version of the theme supports a certain one. What do you recommend I do? Thanks.
Hi,
Sorry for the delay!
This issue has been fixed so you can update it without worries! Make sure you do a backup of your current theme installation and use Chris’s guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-guide-to-moving-from-newspaper-to-newsmag/ ..and perform all steps there.
Thanks

You have images in your RSS feed, such as this:
https://thedailysundial.camayak.com/media/f173e1cf-8e7f-4c7d-b726-7b6a29098172/1ea00224-a218-4273-8770-f280856a4f44.jpg?thumbnail=true
Those break in the feed, and if pasted into web browser, ask for login/password.
Also be aware, Google hasn’t really updated Feedburner in years, and may or may not survive their next big purge. We still use it for daily emails for some subscribers, but you will also find numerous issues with your feed as so:
http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2Fdailysundial
Using your built-in feed and customizing that by building a custom RSS feed, is often a better solution until Google decides what they intend to do with their “orphan” Feedburner.
Also be aware anything with https is kind of funky in RSS feeds, also (enclosures with https images will very often set off a validation error!).
Feedburner feeds have nothing to do with the theme, as the theme does nothing to modify the main RSS feeds from WordPress, AFAIK.
THis might not be your issue/solution, however:
I do occasionally have issues with drag and drop uploading, which seems (in my attempt to debug this issue) to happen when the WP system does an “auto save” while trying to upload a media file with post open.
Meaning, the WP panel cannot upload a media file same time it’s making a “draft save” of an open post.
We changed the default update time in functions.php which seemed to help with that random “error” when adding files to the media manager.
For us, this happened post WP 4.0 and randomly ever since.
Hi! Thanks, Marius
I’ve been getting education on using the hooks to add custom text in the functions.php file vs hacking the WooCommerce theme, so this is my first (!) WooCommerce install, which is hard to believe after all these years, but there you are.
THANK YOU for the button alt code; that was tricky … didn’t get the syntax on that. I’ll update on that.
Figure the breadcrumbs were in-built as I did look at the woocommerce.php file in the theme folder, and went “ahhhhhh soooo.”
The only other minor quibble I have at moment (once I test button fix), is that in iPad portrait mode, on the cart view, the coupon button and update cart spacing got a little wonky due to the changes to WooCommerce — which I think they have now “stabilized” to the next generation (meaning 2015 code vs 2010 code on a lot of stuff!).
I will need to make screen cap of the iPad on this particular issue of the viewport spacing for iPad portrait, as that is the “tricky” one.
For changing the “icon” in the “info” boxes on payment pages, it looks like I need to edit the CSS to change the box you’re making with CSS, and insert a font awesome icon or something there.
Hi,
Please make sure you also get this error when using just the Visual composer plugin without other plugins active, make sure you also empty cache and purge files.
If you still have it please delete the VC plugin then install it again from the /plugins folder using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
Please let us know how it goes!
Thanks
