My social counter shows 0 fans for facebook. I recently updated the theme and the plugins. https://mummytales.com/staging. Then connected to facebook account from theme panel -> social accounts.
Please advise.
Hi,
I contacted you on your Support page (through another account) as I run this website for my client.
https://www.musicinstrumentnews.co.uk
I’m copying and pasting our conversation below for reference.
This is the conversation we had:
Hi, I helped build a website for my client a few years ago using this theme but it has not been updated since version 8.1.1. We are looking to update it to take advantage of the new Black Pro theme but we have noticed some potential issues that we need to understand before making any changes.
1. We can see that you have stopped supporting WP Bakery. Is it an easy transition to your new builder or will the site need extensive work to change it over?
2. We are also heavily using the AdvancedAds plugin and need to make sure this will also work on the theme. We use this within the Widgets section and with ShortCodes on the Pages. (Basically MPU & Banner ads)
3. Does the custom sidebars feature still work too? We have multiple sidebars on the site and need to keep those.
We are looking to purchase some extra Support from you to make the upgrade but we need to know if these issues are something you can help us with?
Would you be able to advise us on these issues please? Many thanks!

Hi,
That is quite an old theme version. Updating is possible however.
1. We still provide WPBakery in the theme package. When we introduced our own composer we recommended switching to it if possible. It can still be used, but the features we added in the theme since then are for the composer specifically. In case you do not want to switch to the composer just yet, you can leave it active and there should be no problems after updating the theme. WPBakery should be updated as well, it is in the full theme package in this folder https://prnt.sc/jP4ve1qhkBUB
As a note, after updating the theme, for older websites it will be required to install and activate the standard pack plugin we added in update 10 https://prnt.sc/rpCKZAN8g2pO This plugin contains all the older blocks and templates used at the time.
2. The plugin should continue to work same as it does with the older version of the theme.
3. The widget sidebars aren’t affected by updating the theme. The only thing that may happen, if the theme is update through wordpress, is that the widgets from the sidebars may be moved in the inactive widgets section. They will retain their settings however, so all that is needed is to add them again in their sidebars.
We can help as well in case there are any issues with the update. You can contact us by email at contact@tagdiv.com and let us know. Provide in the email a link to the website, admin login, and a few details about the issues or any questions you have.
Regards, Simion C.
We need to do some core updates but in order to make sure this theme upgrade goes as smoothly as possible, would it be best to email you or message here some admin information for you so that you can let us know if there are any issues we need to be aware of before making any changes? Appreciate this is a leap in upgrade!
Many thanks!
My site has been labled ass Deceptive by Google due to this plugin ( WordPress tagDiv Cloud Library plugin < 2.7 – Unauthenticated Arbitrary User Metadata Update to Privilege Escalation vulnerability ). A hacker was able to gain access to the user directory, build a false web directory and use it for phising. Not cool. Since then I can not get Google to remove the deceptive warning because there is no update for the plugin. Anyone have any ideas as to how to update?
Hi,
In the next update will be added an option for this.
Thank you!
After updating the theme and all required plugins, my site has been broken in all posts pages
because there is a function that is not defined by “tagDiv Composer” plugin
check the screenshot

Hi,
We have been working on customising the theme to suit the needs of our site. We are nearly ready to launch the updated site and need to export the customised version of the newspaper theme to our live site.
We will need to create a new version of the staging site as there are 200-300 new posts on the live site since we started work on the existing staging site, (this will reset the staging site to the existing theme)and from there we will need to import the customised version of the newspaper theme. Once testing has been completed we will then launch the updated staging site as the new version of the live site.
In short, can I export newspaper theme complete with customised homepage/posts/pages etc from staging site and import to live site. (I don’t think this can be done by exporting/importing settings, though I may be wrong).
Regards,
John
Hi,
My recommendation is that before updating the theme to make a full backup for database and current website, after that update the theme manually – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ (after theme update make sure that the needed plugins are installed, like tagDiv Composer, maybe tagDiv Standard Pack and tagDiv Cloud Library). In case that something is not ok, you can use the backup to restore the website – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAJXrSI-dDA
Thank you!
Hi kironix, this is interesting, normally there was noting added in the theme update that should be related to ads. We’ll like to do some deep investigations, if you agree, please contact us in privately via email at contact@tagdiv.com and we’ll continue there. It will be need to provide a link to the website, maybe temporary wp-admin access. Also, please include a link of this topic to can identify you.
Thank you!
Hi Central, maybe you have this problem because there is another cache plugin and it is possible to not work correctly with the one from the flex blocks (usually cache plugins are cleared and you post or update a post, the cache from flex blocks is cleared after the time that is set on each block, therefore it is possible you have some delays in updating the correct cache).
Hi bduhamel, can you please provide some screenshots or a screen record with the problem? For me when I check your website looks fine – https://i.imgur.com/8YaY2EC.png
Thank you!
I did this for one site way back in v3; basically much like editing the css to have the footer full width with black backing; I edited one of the theme templates to have the left column be responsive with a min and max width, and sidebar on right fixed width. It worked for my purposes, but I don’t have that code handy and would not apply to v5.
But that was the method I used. Bit of trial and error to ‘target’ the correct element. The Chrome inspector helps.
Downside is you have to replace the theme files with any update.
so, ended up with something like
[ header full width ]
[ <- content -> ] [sidebar -fixed]
[ footer full width ]
In my case I was not using a featured image; but inserting image into the template at a fixed size in centered div. SO I forget the template number, but it’s the one without any featured image in post.
Text would end up as
…………………..
…………………..
[ photo ]
…………………..
…………………..
etc.
It can be done but you need to understand how to edit CSS and keep log of changes, and then make note of what may need replacing each time you update theme (e.g, 5x to 5×1).
Hope that made sense.
The site will not update from 12.3.1 to 12.4. I go through the motions but nothing happens.
The tagDiv Cloud Library is enabled and the headers are set to global.
Here is a screenshot after updating the theme and clearing the cache:
As you can see it has the same options, but we don’t see any ads on the front end.
At the same time if we install the old version of the composer plugin, the ad blocks are displayed on the front end.
No, my mobile version looks fine in the composer, but it does not load properly on any actual mobile devices. The formatting is way off. I see no way to fix this. It must be an issue with the caching or something. It wasn’t happening until the last theme update.
Hello,
If you have the latest version 12.4, then you can ignore this warning, because the issue was fixed in version 2.7 -> https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/4eafe111-8874-4560-83ff-394abe7a803b
If you don’t have the latest version, then please update the theme.
Thank you!
Hi,
This depends on how well is your website optimized, for example this demo – https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_pro/ was optimized by our developer and there are no problems with the INP – https://i.imgur.com/gAncpfD.png
Mark Gilbert, here is the section that you can improved – https://i.imgur.com/qYREfsD.png also if you can replace all standard elements and disable the tagDiv Standard pack then you’ll load low resources.
Also, you can use flex blocks and use cache on them – https://forum.tagdiv.com/use-flex-blocks-cache-option/
Another alternative is to try a different cache plugin, like WP Rocket and you can use the page template – https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-10-3-7-update-brings-customizable-and-fast-mobile-pages/
Archerix if the form is on mobile theme plugin, please try the smart list 2 and also, make a test with the mobile theme only for amp and try the page template – https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-10-3-7-update-brings-customizable-and-fast-mobile-pages/
Thank you!
Hi,
1. All the settings made in the theme and with the theme builder are saved in database, and when you’ll replace the nulled theme with an original one you’ll change only the files, only if you made some changes directly in the theme files or plugin files, then you’ll lost those.
2. If the code is set in the theme theme panel then this will be saved in the database and it will not be affected. Also, if is set in an extra plugin, and this is not removed, then will not be affected.
“In the fifth point of” this is a misunderstanding, what I mean is this. If in the nulled version you had the tagDiv Composer, and tagDiv Standard Pack plugin installed after you set the original theme you’ll need to install those plugins and those can be installed directly from the original theme from Newspaper > Plugins.
I’m glad that you manage to update the theme and everything is ok with the website layout and settings.
If you have the latest version 12.4, then you can ignore this warning, because the issue was fixed in version 2.7 -> https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/4eafe111-8874-4560-83ff-394abe7a803b
If you want to no longer be spammed with that message wheat you can do is to change the theme version – https://i.imgur.com/GiL1Oln.png
Thank you!
Hi,
The first thing that you’ll need to do is to make a full backup for the website and update the theme to the current theme version, Newspaper v12.4 – https://i.imgur.com/qUEceNl.jpg this version has extra optimizations for some of the current problems.
After the update is done we can investigate further to see what else need to be done.
Thank you!
Hi,
This is a very old version of the theme https://i.imgur.com/ChrmkBR.png. Please try to update the theme to the latest, and try to add again the code for ads, and clear the cache.
Thank you!
Hi theleaderdotinfo, the theme needs to be updated to v12.4 and you need to have the tagDiv Cloud library enabled and to check to see that the cloud header is still assigned as global.
Thank you!

Hi,
Normally without a cache plugin, it should update once per day, with a cache plugin it can take some more time.
Also, please provide the link to your website.
Thank you!
Hi,
Hello, can you please give us a link to the site to investigate the problem? Or if you want and can make a backup and contact us by email at contact@tagdiv.com and give us temporary access to the site to make the update and investigate how it reacts after the update.
Thank you!
Hi
I am using the west coast theme, and when i try to import Liberty Case template, its not showing. I am using 12.4 updated version. Can help to look into it please.

Our homepage is suddenly stopped working (see image)
When I update the page and save it (not changing anything), it works for reload or two, then reverts. Not sure what changed.
It is only happening on the mobile site. And links to posts work fine, it’s just the homepage that is having issues.
Hello again,
I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to let you know that I’ve successfully updated the new theme, and it seems to be safe. However, I’m currently experiencing an error with the (td-cloud-library) plugin, which is showing a vulnerability issue. Could you please assist me in fixing this problem?
I want to mention that I have deleted all the nulled plugins and themes, and after adding a new original theme, WordPress suggested that I download these plugins. Unfortunately, I am still encountering the same error, but this time with my plugin.
I appreciate your help in resolving this issue.
Thank you.
