I took over a site that heavily customized the newspaper theme in version 10.3. We updated to 12 and am looking for the original files to 10.3 so we can compare what was customized. Is this something y’all could help with? An emailed zip would be great!
Hello!
The tagdiv Composer plugin is a bigger one with a lot of functions and settings. Our developers tried to improve it more and more, optimize it as much as they could in every update, and also bring in new features. We will try to do our best for this, but it will always need a little bit of separate optimization depending on each website. And, without a doubt, good optimization entails using the tagdiv Composer plugin’s features less.
Thank you!
Hi,
We are facing a peculiar problem.
Before the latest theme update our articles on the desktop website – http://www.gadgetbridge.com were auto-loading/Infinite scroll.
however, now they are not auto-loading in places like Microsoft Edge browser they are auto loading after long time. The next/previous article does not auto-load. In fact, it does not load only.
Please help.
Edit
On further investigating, we found that by turning off WP-Rocket plugin the auto-load feature starts to work. We rolled it back to previous WP-rocket version and it is working.
However, we have the same plugin in our other website motorbridge.com with newspaper theme and same settings, there with Wp-Rocket turned on auto load is working.
Very strange.
How can I find out what is the real reason? I’m using an iPad for all of the content creation so constantly uploading updates manually is not a viable long term solution.
Hi,
The default fonts are loaded in the theme files. If you want to use your own fonts, you can do this by using the custom fonts – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-using-custom-fonts/
If you want, I can help you change the website color to dark, all I need is a link to the site.
Unfortunately, the dark mode plugin is not ready at the moment, it has been set to “pending” since a few updates back, unfortunately, I don’t know why, sorry.
Update: My site cannot load now after I reactivated the theme again.
Also, when I change the colors to something else completely, the do update, but not the main red for some reason.
Hi there,
I’ve got a client using the Newspaper theme at chicagoskooled.com, and they notified me that their site’s header and footer navigation menus had disappeared. I verified that this was the case and then switched the theme from the Newspaper child theme to the main Newspaper theme as a first step in fixing things. I updated the Newspaper theme and the site’s plugins, and then disabled the site plugins after finding the problem still persisted. At this point, I think I have a plugin-less site with the latest Newspaper theme, but I cannot get the menus to display. In my Dashboard > Appearance > Menus page I have 2 menus, a primary and a footer menu. The Primary menu is set to display in the “Header Menu” Display location, and the Footer menu is set to display in the Footer menu display location. I see that there is markup for a mobile nav that does include the menu, but it seems to be hidden (look for ul#mobile-menu), and there doesn’t seem to be any html markup at all for the footer nav. Can you help me get these menus to show?
Hello,
We recently experienced an issue with our site on the latest version of Newspaper (12.3) where the formatting and spacing of text and paragraphs is messed up in all our posts. There are no longer paragraph breaks or general line spacing in the body of our posts. You can see it for example here: https://www.saltlakemagazine.com/preview-dear-evan-hansen-eccles-2023/
We noticed this when we updated the theme last night. Can you take a look and see what’s going on?
The featured video thumbnail from a video post is not showing on our home page (http://lance.evangelvalormedia.com/), just a blank video box (the Sports Update post). The post itself shows fine and is set to “video” post format. The URL is pasted into the “featured video” field. I seem to not understand the notice about using it with only the post templates- default, post style 1, 2, etc. The only post template selections in the post settings window are “from panel” and “default”, neither of which work.
At Chrome console, when we replace the image at the TagDiv editor, we see an error:
> POST https://www.quepasaweb.com.ar/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php 404
load-scripts.php?c=0&load%5Bchunk_0%5D=jquery-core,jquery-migrate,utils,regenerator-runtime,wp-polyfill,wp-hooks&ver=6.1.1:2 POST https://www.quepasaweb.com.ar/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php 404
We are running Cloudflare but we never had issues before.
Any idea on what could be causing this or how to debug it?
Everything is 100% updated.
Hello,
I’m using the Newspaper Theme and recently updated to v12.3. When creating pages, I had been using DivTag Composer to build out a page. Usually after some changes, I would hit the save button and all changes would only appear on that page. Since I updated to 12.3, I’ve noticed TagDiv Composer (v3.9) now gives me multiple save options. Rather than just a static save button, now it’s a save button with four options: Save All, Save Header, Save Content and Save Footer.
When hitting “Save All” – there are pieces of content that I had solely added to just that one page. But it’s showing on ALL pages….not just one custom page. I’ve never had this happen before.
Usually when creating a new Page, it would show the header (but not editable) and footer (also not editable). Sandwiched between those two would be one empty row container which I would add content to. Now when I start a new page, it shows FOUR empty rows and anything I add and save, magically appears across the boards in every page on our site.
I’ve tried to go back to previous versions of Newspaper, but this new way of saving content isn’t working for me. What has changed?

Please update me how to do it
Thanks, here is what my friend ChatGPT has allowed me to go through the code and update.
Though when you run it, it gives a white screen, you need to refresh the browser or open a new one.
/**

*/
function edit_template() {
// Define arguments for WP_Query
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'posts_per_page' => -1
);
// Create a new WP_Query object with the defined arguments
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
// Loop through each post in the query results

$td_post_theme_settings['td_post_template'] = 'tdb_template_71018';
update_post_meta( $post->ID, 'td_post_theme_settings', $td_post_theme_settings );
}
}
// Reset the query and clean up after the loop
wp_reset_query();
}
// Call the function to execute the code
edit_template();
// Use "die" to ensure that no further code is executed after the function call
die;
Hello,
UPDATE:
So, those options are translated if you use another language in WordPress or you can use a method from this guide https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-localization/
Thank you!
any updates?
Hello,
In most cases, this problem occurs because you have the latest version of WordPress with an older version of the theme.
Please use the last version of WordPress 6.1.1 with the last theme version Newspaper 12.3 (if you have a theme version older, then tagDiv Composer does not work) and check to see if the problem persists.
If you need to make an update, before please make a full backup to all files and the database, in case something goes wrong. => https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Here you can find information about the changes that have occurred in each update over time https://tagdiv.com/newspaper/
I recommend that you update the theme manually https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ via FTP/cPanel/File Manager, also if possible disable extra plugins during the theme update to avoid any problems that may arise and make sure that you have activated the tagDiv Standard pack plugin to keep the website’s look. You can try to update the theme on a staging website.
After you update the theme, you need to update the theme plugins too.
In the worst cases, the settings in the theme panel may be lost (there have been isolated cases), in these cases, after the theme plugins that were previously used are activated, you will have to use a backup for the theme panel -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-export-theme-settings/
Also, make sure that all the settings are like in our requirements, please follow the guide carefully: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
and please increase all requirements that are lower, and follow all steps.
Also, if the problem persists please check if you do not have a plugin conflict, please deactivate ALL plugins except tagDiv plugins, also if you are using a child theme or cache plugin, deactivate them, clear all cache (also from your browser) and try again.
Let me know the results!
Thank you!
Hi,
I’ve been facing this issue where I can’t edit the tagdiv composer. I’ve tried to update the theme but still not working.
Thanks in advance
Hello @bjpscott !
Did you uninstall all the non-tested plugins with our theme before proceeding?
Do you have a backup as well?
It shouldn’t break when you make the update.
Thank you!
I have the same problem and wish to update “Popular Posts.” It’s impossible because TagDiv won’t edit/change anything that’s not a cloud template. I already screwed up playing around with cloud templates (some of which are really awful).
Hello, I have just updated to 12.3 on staging.bjpenn.com.. but the footer on mobile and desktop is not working as it should. none of the menu links are clickable. or the email links.
Hello,
this is the code, I hope it helps you.
function edit_template(){
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'posts_per_page' => -1
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
while($the_query->have_posts()) {
$the_query->the_post();
global $post;
$td_post_theme_settings = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'td_post_theme_settings', true);
if( !empty($td_post_theme_settings['td_post_template'] ) ) {
$td_post_theme_settings['td_post_template'] = 'tdb_template_71018';
update_post_meta($post->ID, 'td_post_theme_settings', $td_post_theme_settings);
}
}
wp_reset_query();
}
edit_template();die;
This code must be set in functions.php and after you have set it, you can edit a post to see if the individual template has been reset, if so, then you can remove the code.
Thank you!
Hi,
Yes, the Newsmag v5.3.2 should work ok with php v8, but it was not tested with php v8.1 and v8.2
Before updating the theme, please make sure that you have a full backup for it. After that you can update the theme using ur guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/
Thank you!
Hello –
Earlier I updated our Newspaper theme to 12.3 – I assumed all of the settings were correct, as I had no problems with prior updates. This time, however, I received a 504 bad gateway error for nearly my whole website after the update.
I restored the 12.2 version, and some of the pages of my website are working as expected again, but I’m still receiving 504 bad gateway on others, and seeing shortcode on other pages (https://www.c21uwm.com/interactive-symposia/nourishing-trust/trust-in-context/).
Can someone please help me get this fixed?
Thanks!
Hi, wondering if there is a way to assign a cloud template to ALL posts on our site (1,100 or so) at once. Some of the earlier posts seem to still be using the template they were originally assigned instead of the cloud template we are using now. Is there any way to do this programmatically, instead of going back to update each one individually? Thanks for any guidance you can offer on this.
