Hey everybody — not that many of you will likely care one way or another, but I will no longer be pitching in to offer support help here starting tomorrow April 22 as I will be hunkering down to solve number of issues on our business portal, ecom system upgrade, image enlargement fix for WP/Newspaper for our news portals (will update you all on that adventure once I have a yes or no solution).
As noted previously, I have no relation to TagDiv beyond being customer and have been offering some help to others to pay forward all the help I’ve gotten over the years on stuff where I was pulling my hair out.
Peace and well wishes to all!
Most theme developers license the Visual Composer code to create custom integration with the site, admin panel, etc. This is integrated with the theme and must be tested with the customizations whenever a new version is released. This is why it’s not showing as a separate plugin. You didn’t get a full license to the plugin with purchase of theme. A licensed version of the code is included as PART OF the theme. Hope that helped. 🙂
Stay tuned! I’m pretty certain there will be an update to theme soon to address some issues with WordPress 3.9.
Good morning.
When I create a post, I assign a specific sidebar, and when I update that choice disappears.
On the other hand, I have several different custom sidebar menus. But it only saves me one.
Can you give me some solution to this issue, please?
thanks
Just a quick update. The image doesn’t show in the Google verification but it is now showing in the Google search. The start ratings however don’t show at the moment. 😉
First, Not Setting -> Media with 3 size, I mean auto regenerate from newspapers theme.

or

I know this theme regenerate a lot of image size for every block style but for other than featured image, it cause a ton of unused images in website.
My site collect over 60 – 100 images per post so increase inodes to limit faster, I use other ways to reduce number of crop size
• DNUI plugin – I used 2 month ago, good plug-in to remove unused image without update 2 years. but now it cause problem to database and slow my website to crash.
• Image cleanup plugin – can’t remove because image “ref” to theme (see first image above)
• Free Host for Pic – Good choice but not answers.
Question
1. Possible regenerate size only feature image or not regenerate all images and use other plug-in create thumbnail instead ?
2. Is some plugin can regenerate thumbnail images (not featured) from upload file via FTP ? (prevent regenerate size by theme)
3. some plugin can remove unused image (except DNUI and image cleanup) ?
see issues so far

I’m going to guess that there will be minor update to the theme next week, mainly to update the Visual Composer compatibility with WP 3.9
HOWEVER: you should always update WP and BuddyPress together, as BP updates may be built upon fixes for latest edition of WP. See the BuddyPress “changelog” to see what they added to update — if it says “updated for WP 3.9 changes,” pretty obvious you should upgrade to WP 3.9 for BuddyPress.
(AND BACKUP YOUR SITE BEFORE DOING MAJOR UPDATES!)
after buddypress update … private messages no longer work..
im trying to reply to msgs , but nothing happens …
im running buddypress Version 2.0
should i update to wordpress 3.9 ? just want to make sure its safe before i do
thanks
You might try accessing the admin panel in http://yoursite and https://yoursite – as those are different ports. If your site runs in https, then accessing the admin in http might not work correctly.
Still, I’ve not seen this issue before. It may be firewall setting on your PC.
Obviously 8880 and 8443 should be open, and port 80 might be needed, possibly 443. However these should already be functional.
FYI, standard ports are often these:
#20 ftp-data
#21 ftp
#22 ssh
#25 smtp
#53 dns (TCP and UDP)
#80 http (web server and Plesk updater)
#106 poppassd (for localhost only)
#110 pop3
#113 auth
#143 imap
#443 https
#465 smtps
#587 mail message submission
#990 ftps
#993 imaps
#995 pop3s
#3306 mysql
#5224 (outgoing connections only) plesk-license-update
#5432 postgres
#8443 plesk-https
#8880 plesk-http
#9080 tomcat
Sorry I don’t have a better answer. You may wish to utilize a process viewer or port monitor to determine WHICH ports are supposedly trying to be accessed on your PC and what are not able to connect on your network. If you’re hosting your own domains at the University, checking the error logs for your site are also a good starting point.
For those who are supremely annoyed by constant auto upgrade/update failure of WP, and emails saying “you should update…” (I got 3 in the past 24 hours from ONE website!).
Here’s how to turn this “noise” off:
To completely disable all types of automatic updates, core or otherwise, add the following to your wp-config.php file:
define( 'AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true );
(We have various websites which are not “owned” by server, but the system tries to upgrade and cannot write to the folder; others we have special security permissions, also unable to write to folder; will ALWAYS fail auto-upgrade. No switch in WP, because the “we think we know what we’re doing” folks at Automattic refuse to listen to some users on this kind of thing.)
Can you please provide us latest version of Visual bakery current version is very old and outdated.
Waiting for the update.
Regards,
Ashish
I’m having this problem too. Maybe updating VC to the latest version in the next theme update might solve it?
Also good idea if having any issues with widgets to simply go to each and press “save” again. I tend to do this out of paranoia with each new full dot WP update:
1) resave permalinks (habit as it resets/touches the htaccess file which as the rewrite rules)
2) disable and re-enable plugins one by one; check for any error message on re-enable.
3) run wp-optimize plugin which cleans house on orphan meta, etc.
4) do tools > save all site data (if not already done); good to do before AND after any update especially if “database has been updated” happens with the upgrade.
5) once a month I do full FTP download of site in case server catches fire and datacenter hit by lightning and backups melt.
6) Check site in IE11/Win7-64 and Chrome/Win7-64. (Generally if it works in Chrome on Windows then Chrome, Safari and Firefox on Mac will work – and who cares about anybody still running IE on Mac!)
7) If needed for anything like missing widgets, go to appearance and just hit “save” and it resets it. For missing ads, simply hit “save” in the theme panel for each ad spot.
8) Finally, out of general paranoia I also look at the source of a sample post, to make sure the meta tags are not messed up due to the occasional whack-a-doodle bug in Yoast, and because we’re running mod_pagespeed and like to check things are not being re-written in some bad way.
Veteran WP users have their own checklist, but this may be useful to the newbies. 🙂
Anything that connects to multiple external systems and has to get a response will slow down the site; everything like recaptcha, jetpack, adsense, social plugins which “go out an get data and then bring it back to cache” and similar — all slow things down since it’s not happening “locally.” (As I’m sure you already know.) You would likely disable the theme’s function to “count” reads/shares from other sites, and try using something like AddThis which can also do this for you. Ironically, the reason the calls to the APIs in the functions.php is done to avoid having to use external plugins and for most of us makes site run faster than using external plugs. But every site is different, and part of the development process is picking/choosing how to add/adjust things on page for best user experience and performance.
Note also that WP-Postview was updated this week to address issues folks were having with Ajax and Cache, so might be worth revisiting that setup with new version.
Not sure if that helped at all, but my two cents.
Disabling all plugins isn’t an option. I need most of them to make my website work. I was just wondering if it is something theme related or wordpress related. Maybe the theme is set up to load all external js before rendering the page? And if not, how can i make the page render before those scripts are loaded? Also, the wp-postview and ajax vies count plugins slow down the rendering of the page! Are you guys planning on integrating these ajax views counters in the next update? I would be nice to so the theme functions working flawlessly with caching plugins. I mean, that is what you guys advertise with: the theme’s speed and functionality 🙂
Love to hear some opions from other people and would like to know if somebody else is experiencing the same problem with plugins or functions that make js calls to social media api! I can’t be the only one who uses plugins that show how many times a post is shared on social media.
Hi Marius,
I’ve changed the setting according to your solution.
But I get this problem:
1. The slider is not a full width slider
2. The slider image is above the frame with empty space below the image
How can I make the slider above the sidebar & content?
3. The width is no longer 3/4 + 1/4 , making the sidebar too wide and the content place too small.
Is that possible to have 3/4 + 1/4?
I can see that you have 1/4 + 3/4 in the layout setting, can you add one more in the future template update?
Thanks.
Hi Marius,
Thanks for your reply.
The problem solved!
If this is a bug, hope you can fix in the future template update.
Thanks 🙂
hi,
can you please give us access to your site to see the problem, send us an email to contact@tagdiv.com with the username and pass, also please post the link to this thread in the email.
I have updated to wordpress v 3.9 and I don’t experience what you are saying.
please try disabling all the plugins that you have installed, and try again.
Thanks for you message.

NOTE:
update to WP-Postview for those using with cache:
Version 1.67
•NEW: Allow user to not use AJAX to update the views even though WP_CACHE is true
Glad I popped in to see if there were any issues coming from 3.9 installs. This question is more to the other users than to the developers.
How quickly have you seen updates to the Newspaper theme to correct issues with WordPress updates?
thanks Marius
Hi there,
Same issue here. Just updated to WP 3.9 and lost the shortcodes in the editor.
hi,
how to update: http://import.tagdiv.com/newspaper/doc/#howtoupdate
make sure to make a backup before update ( database and files )
Thanks for you message.
Radu A.
Hi,Use this CSS
.header-logo-wrap img {
position: relative;
top: -8px;
}If you make the logo at 100px height should be aligned without that CSS.
Thanks!
Is it true that if you disable the WP-PostView you will lose all view counts? If yes, than how can you ever update the wordpress core, the theme or plugin? You should always disable all plugins when updating…
