I see there are many updates constantly, and I find very interesting improvements, but I have a question about it, I have to install each update one by one or the last one is enough if I have spent a … rather, the last update contains the above or you need to install them all in order to come out?
(I do not speak English, so please excuse any errors in translation)
I love this theme! But I was unable to use the new Envato Toolkit to update the theme. Here are the instructions I followed: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-automatically-update-newspaper-theme/
The updater did make a backup and place it where it said it would. But it did not upload/install the updated version of the theme. This took down my site (blank) and would not allow me into the WP backend (also just blank). I fixed the problem by downloading the backed up files via ftp, creating a new Newspaper directory in the themes directory, and then uploading the unzipped backed up files. It all works well again. But I am not updated. So it seems a fix is required for this toolkit.
how to update to 3.3 patch
Just to let you know that this issue appeared to be a cache problem after all.
It turns out my web hosting provider had cached an old version of the site that was conflicting with the upgrade somehow.
Thanks for helping out!
Hi,
The old was for like not for share, the new system is for sharing the articles. We improved the look of that part, will be available in the next update(today) * the look will be almost the same.
To get back the old stuff you need to take the CSS and functionality manually it will difficult.
You can replace those files http://tagdiv.com/theme/users/old-3.2.zip but i’m not sure will work.
A simple solution is to put back the old version of the theme 3.2
Thanks!

When I reduce the size of my site to mobile width, my menu becomes a drop-down menu. Before the update this dropdown menu worked fine. But after the upgrade this menu isn’t work. When I click in cell icon brings me to http://www.mysite.com/#
Hi,
If you don’t use the footer you can hide it with this CSS
.td-footer-wrap {
display: none;
}
Add it in Theme panel -> Custom CSS
About social sharing, we had replaced the like system the new one is for sharing, is more useful.
To get that you have to update to latest version.
Also I tried to move the post title to below the first image and comment out the category button but no luck?
Can you show me exactly where you want to do that.
would be cool if instead of the category block it illuminated it on the menu
I don’t understand your question, please can you show me in a screenshot.
Thanks!
Thank you
Hi,
1. DO you mean the logo and ad section? you can hide it with this CSS
.td-header-bg {
display: none;
}
Add it in Theme panel -> Custom CSS
2. That is in latest version, you have to update to latest version 3.3
Thanks for your message!
Hi,
Please check on a post at Screen Option this settings http://screencast.com/t/a32f5RG83MaJ
Also please update the theme to latest version, will fix the Mega menu color.
Thanks!
Hi,
you might want to
1) review the theme documentation (note link top of this forum)
https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-documentation/
How to manually update theme:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/
2) if you’re new to WordPress – perhaps read some of the “how to” information on WordPress.org which has 10+ years of useful help information on basic functionality of things like updating themes, where they go, etc.
Using themes: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes
Hopefully that will not be too difficult.

look at the standard sizes found in the theme docs, here:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules-and-blocks/
I think we did
sm = 100×65
md = 326×159
lg = 700×357
NOTE: I highly recommend adding a custom compression amount to photos for WP as I’ve found that some of the pix created by theme with default WP compression level are waaaay to big.
For example on our site which is not yet optimized,
original article image 700×406 I uploaded is 31.14kb
http://publishersnewswire.com/META/PNW-Feb14-loudest.jpg
the theme/and WP created a 700×357 version, 63kb (!).
The hack to add the compression amount down to something like “50” is someplace in my prior posts. Recommended!!!
—updated——–
the code:
add the following code to your functions.php file in the theme root at the end –or– in your child theme (TIP: stop using a child theme)
add_filter( ‘jpeg_quality’, create_function( ”, ‘return 50;’ ) );
– then run the regenerate thumbnails plugin under wp admin > tools
EDIT (( AND REMEMBER TO BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL PIX FIRST – !! ))
And one more FYI:
ga-ga is our test/optimization site
PNW is our “stock” site being used for comparison
(I have been called to other projects the past month and not working on either … hence why I was not around here for couple of weeks … and I will disappear again next week… sigh….deadlines!)
And my suggestion is to make the normal support area more usable for those implementing the theme and updates for magazine sites since suggestions for features could be in separate area.
Not trying to make more work for y’all 😉
Hi,
In the latest update, did you guys fix the “more stories” pop-up on the home and category pages?
For example, the more stories article box pop ups on pages like the homepage, category pages, contact, privacy policy and disclaimer pages. I want to know of you guys fixed this in the latest update, because most people would only like it to show on post pages
Question was too difficult?
Hi, I downloaded new version and I want to ask how we update the previous version. Is it same? Will we copy all newspaper.zip files and folders into theme folder by ftp program?
Thanks!
hi
I like the look of the new share buttons provided in this update, however I would really like the numbers of the shares displayed with the buttons (as it was on the previous version).
Can this be done?
thanks
Andrew
For sure there are a lot of great ideas coming from the community. But often they are repeated because nobody know exactly if there ideas will be implement in a future update.
I made this suggestion for galleries in Oktober 2013:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/image-gallery-in-content/
I made this suggestions for via/source in November 2013:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/custom-fields-source-via/
Don’t remember the topic for this: make a “preview icon” not only for gallery but for video, cite, link etc. too.
You said, you will have a look an will make the neccessary implementations, but for now, nothing happened. Please don’t missunderstand this.
I love the template and the support is really great! 🙂
But some community ideas seams to be lost in the flood of topics and I don’t know if these suggestions will be implemented in the future or not…

Marius helped me one time but after today’s Template update Twitter and Facebook again no longer worked, I uninstalled and installed this WordPress plugins: social-count-plus. Now works fine for me.
FYI after I updated v3.3 more stories box is working. Thanks for your answers…
I updated the Newspaper Theme to version 3.3 today. This solved the issue with the Twitter ID as mentioned in this thread. The facebook numbers are still at 0 fans, however. Not sure what else to look for in Facebook, I have the settings in FB to be 18+ for audience and not sandboxed.
Note – you should use a sitemap plugin, like Yoast SEO, or XML sitemaps. These create proper XML compliant sitemaps for Google.
The “old style” sitemap “pages” with list of all site content are no longer needed for search spiders as they are not easily or quickly readable and don’t contain modern elements like publish time, update time, or priority.
SEE: http://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/ (we use this on most of our sites)
OR: http://wordpress.org/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/ (we still use this on some sites)
Both of the above do exactly what is needed to submit proper sitemap to both Google and Bing/Yahoo. 🙂
