Hi, WordPress Manager has been reporting a medium security vulnerability since start of October for tagDiv plugin for the version 5.4.1 or under. WordPress installation is not detecting any updates for the plugin. Has this issue been addressed already? If so, can i update it manually? Thanks.
http://www.infocul.pt / Newspaper 12.7.1 / tagDiv Composer 5.4.1
Hi,
What I can suggest is first to make a full backup for your website and database and after that to update the theme (also, you can try first on staging or sub-domain).
The theme should be updated via FTP, by replacing the old theme with the new one (replace not overwrite), in case that there are custom changes in the theme files, those will be lost. Also, the child theme should be disabled and the main theme should be used. The child theme should be replaced with the version found in the last package from the ThemeForest and the code form it should be updated to the new files structure.
After the theme is installed, please install the theme plugins: tagDiv Composer, tagDiv Standard Pack and the rest of the theme plugins that you had before the theme update (social counter, newsletter).
I hope this will help you!
Hello everyone!
I use mainwp on my sites to update plugins and themes faster, as I have over 20 of them.
Recently, during a mass update of my theme from version 12.7.1 to 12.7.3, errors occurred. I selected 15 of my sites and ran the update through mainwp. The theme updated correctly on five sites, but not on the other ten (an X appeared next to the sites, indicating the update failed). I then selected 10 sites and tried updating again. The second time, three sites updated correctly, but the rest failed. I repeated this process four times. After updating the theme on all my sites, I discovered that the theme was completely broken on ten of my sites (the layout wasn’t working correctly, the settings in the Theme Panel were lost, and the theme couldn’t be activated). After restoring the theme, more problems arose: social media icons disappeared in the news feed, and the code in the Theme Panel that connects the metrics to the site was missing. Please take a look at this plugin, mainwp. This plugin has an administrative section, and sites will then be connected to it via the mainwp child plugin.
I have a very old theme active v8.1
It doesnt have the update button as you show in doc https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
I also have some custom code in my theme child.
When I try to upload the latest theme to the customizer I get an error when my child theme is active.
Please advise
Hi,
Before trying to edit any files that will later be lost when you’ll update the theme., I will recommend to use the theme options from the theme panel and choosing a different header template – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-header-styles/ try header style 7, 8 and 10.
If you want to edit the theme files, use a child theme – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-child-theme-support/
Thank you!
Hi,
There is no need to edit teh code, this will be lost when the theme is updated. Our theme has settings for everything you need. For a general type of date, you can even use wordpress settings – https://i.imgur.com/eSXiJ4L.png
Also, elements like the flex block builder are displaying built modules (made with tagDiv Composer) and can be edited with this – https://i.imgur.com/5QWDoQE.jpeg – https://i.imgur.com/vSewkTY.png – https://i.imgur.com/79byHhz.png

Hello,
I hope you are doing well.
I have two license keys as listed below:
License Key 1
License Key 2
Unfortunately, License Key 1 has been activated on two websites — infiniteupdates.in and http://www.editableforms.com
I would like to update the license for http://www.editableforms.com to use License Key 2 instead.
Could you please help me with this update?
Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards,

I updated my theme and theme plugins for the Newspaper theme and now it says “Your license key is not assigned on this website. Please go to the “My License” management panel and assign it to enjoy the full benefits of your theme.”
“My License” management panel says “Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.”. I am logged in as an admin.
Hi,
Have you checked whether the theme plugins were updated or installed after the theme update?
Usually, similar issues occur when the theme plugins haven’t been updated, or not all of them were.
You can install or update them from Newspaper > Plugins.
Thank you!
Hi,
You can update the php version to 8.3 and you can also use wp super cache will not be enough make sure that you use something for images and for html, css and js and Cloudflare – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
For best results, we recommend WP Rocket – https://forum.tagdiv.com/wp-rocket-and-newspaper-theme-optimization-guide/
Thank you!
Hi yassinee,
We have done all the steps that we can to (Wordfence, WPScan, Patchstack, etc.), and they have updated the fix according to the links above. Now, some plugins in the free version will not show that the problem is resolved until 30 days after, because they only update their resources related to vulnerabilities once every 30 days.
What else can be done is according to the suggestion to change the plugin version from 3.9.2 to 3.9.3 (or whatever version you want that is higher than the current one). If you want, we can do it for you. For this, contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin access.
Thank you!
Hi,
What I recommend is a full theme backup and updating the theme to the latest version. Newsapepr v12.7.3, update teh theme plugins to the last version and make a test using only the theme plugins and see if the situation is resolved or not.
Thank you!
Hi, I’m sorry about this. It seems that the fix is on our dev, but it seems that the developer who made the package didn’t add it in the update. I’m sorry!
Thank you for your understanding!

Unfortunately, even in the latest update on the topic from November 4, 2025, it has not been corrected.
We updated the tagDiv Cloud Library plugin to version 3.9.2, which includes the fix for the XSS vulnerability.
However, all security scanners (Wordfence, WPScan, Patchstack, etc.) are still showing the same vulnerability.
Could you please let us know what we should do in this case, or if there are any additional steps needed to clear these warnings?

Hello support team,
I recently purchased the Newspaper theme and am using the “DEFAULT PRO” template because I was very impressed with its professional designs. I thought it would allow me to easily create a beautiful blog.
However, I discovered that most of the theme’s blocks (Flex Blocks, Big Grids, etc.) cannot be lazy-loaded, maybe because they use CSS background-image to display images ? I use lscache lazy load function and already tried others plugins.
This forces every single image in these blocks to load even if they are far below the fold. The lazy load option in the theme panel doesn’t improve performance metrics; it seems to be just a visual loading effect. Is that correct?
To keep a good performance score of 95+ on PageSpeed Insights, my only workaround has been to hide all images in these blocks on all single posts. While this fixes the speed issue, it completely defeats the purpose of buying a visually rich theme like Newspaper.
I already use others speed optimization like cache, css/javascript loading optimisation,etc. the only problem I can see is these theme’s blocks images on sidebar and footer not lazy-loaded.
My question is:
Is there a built-in setting or a recommended method to solve this? Or is this something that might be addressed in a future update?
This seems like a critical feature for any modern theme focused on performance.

Thank you for your help and guidance.
Hello, I am back for my second site with a tagDiv theme! https://thecascadian.com/ Love Forest Beat. But I have questions.
1. Our developer says that the orange settings here are not that important. Is he correct? I think he must be wrong, but I wanted to doublecheck https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZEM6JXzHbGsy5s5gz3QVRUPdEsv8kch6/view?usp=sharing What happens if we do not update them?
2. Yesterday I activated the plugin Advanced Ads Pro and we got a critical WordPress error. Is there a known compatibility issue between Advanced Ads and the theme?
3. Most seriously, we have been repeatedly getting this error. A lot. People calling up our site, and people calling up the back end on WordPress. I am told this is known thing where GoDaddy and Cloudflare blame each other. Do you have any insight into why we might be seeing this error with our site? It seems to have been worse before our developer updated the PHP. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qlcs-z0cwmkmsXsOpnICt_9VIDbd3kmu/view?usp=sharing
Thank you for any insights!
Hi, posts that contain an embedded YouTube video are slow to load on the news, both on desktop and mobile. What could be the cause(Theme updated to the latest version, WordPress version 6.4.2)?. Thanks, regards.
Hello Sir,
After your last message and new theme update advance ad extension which was clashing now working fine but my website is very slow after upgrade of theme.
Is there any solution for it?
My website is heavy and loaded with images.
Is there any new update coming which can solve this issue?
I have also installed cache issue and configured as per theme guide but site is slow.
My site is forcemedia.digital
Please help me on this
I have always found using manual update via FTP works best – I am literally doing this right now 🙂
Hi,
We already did this. The Wordfence free version receives updates to the plugin software itself, but security updates for firewall rules and malware signatures are delayed by 30 days compared to the Premium version. https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/ – https://i.imgur.com/V5Pqwry.png
Hi,
Try one more time with the check for update button, but this time check it using only tagDiv plugins and make sure that no cache and object cache is applied.
Another alternative is to manually update the theme https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Make sure that after the theme is updated, all theme plugins that are now used are also installed and updated (can be installed/updated from Newspaper > plugins).
Thank you!
Hi,
First, please make sure you have a full backup for your website. After that, you have 2 options to avoid the problem with freezing when you try to update:
1 – Disable all extra plugins except tagDiv plugins and try to update the theme using the option from Newsmag > updates
2 – update the theme manually – https://i.imgur.com/JFarGFe.png
After updating the theme, make sure you also update the theme plugins.
