Hello, thank you,
problem is solved, but only partially.Problem that remains is, theme can not be updated to latest version via theme panel or any other way.
After update is done, same version remains.
Hello! Thanks for this. Unfortunately, I can’t follow that link anymore. Can you resend?
The issue still persists despite the update to 12.7.3. Thanks!
I’ve updated the tagDiv Cloud Library plugin to version 3.9.2 (manually), but I’m still receiving a vulnerability warning
Hi,
Indeed, some AI features sound nice, unfortunately, for the moment, I don’t know anything related to these features to be in the coming theme update.
Thank you!
Hello, you have version 3.9.2 and this is the version that has the fix and only previous versions (lower than 3.9.2) have this vulnerability – https://i.imgur.com/xx2opkb.png https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/td-cloud-library/vulnerability/wordpress-tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin-3-9-cross-site-scripting-xss-vulnerability?_a_id=241
Other tools like Jetpack and Wordefance will be updated soon.
Thanks!
Hi,
This is the vulnerability reported via Patchstack:
https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/td-cloud-library/vulnerability/wordpress-tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin-3-9-cross-site-scripting-xss-vulnerability?_a_id=241
It shows the correct version, but it’s possible that the scan tools haven’t updated their data for some time https://i.imgur.com/LfogY7p.png We hope they will update it soon.
In the meantime, you can manually update the plugin version as shown here:
Thank you!
Hi,
Our developers are preparing the update and will release it in the coming days.
Thank you!
Ok, i see no progress on this item, i’ll engage Envato support now as this problem is a serious breach of safety and the the topic already started : Oct 24, 2025 at 10:19 am, with no reply or update.
Thanks for that tip. It DID work. Got me to 12.7.3
Half the problem was solved. Other half, no such luck.
But. Posting an update below for anyone in the future if they have a similar problem
Thank you!
Thanks for your response. Uploading the fix just disables de Cloud plugin too and complains about incompatible versions. What is the correct workflow to update? Is it disable the plugin, downgrade the theme and then install the fix and enable it?
Thanks
I had to rollback too and asked for the propor way to do it. I guess it could be using the downgrade capabilities. Have not tried it yet but you can find it here:

Hi Calin, i also get warnings from my hosting provider about : WordPress tagDiv Composer Plugin <= 5.4.1 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
Are there any updates yet?
Hi Calin, is there any update on the expected launch?
i update via ftp, deleting old theme and applicable plugin folders, the uploading new versions from themeforest download and decompressed, then login, and reactivate plugins
UPDATE: Sorta…
unable to edit any templates (e.g., post or category templates). When I attempt to open a template for editing, the Composer editor either fails to load, displays a blank screen, or encounters an error, preventing any modifications.
Crucially, the TagDiv Composer seems to work for editing regular pages and posts. I’m guessing the problem is specifically localized to the template editing functionality?
I’ve already done many troubleshooting steps, including:
WordPress & Theme/Composer Versions:
– My WordPress core is up-to-date. 6.8.3
– Dashboard says WP, Themes and Plugins are all up to date. but on the Newspaper updates page it shows I need to update to 12.7.3
– Newspaper theme currently updated to 12.6.9, can’t upto to 12.7.3
Theme Reinstallation Attempts:
– I’ve tried a significant process to ensure theme integrity: I manually downloadeed 12.7.3 from ThemeForest and then performed a fresh, clean update to the current latest version of the Newspaper theme and its associated plugins. This was done to rule out any corrupted files. It wont et me update though, it doesnt complete it.
Site Restore:
– I performed a full site restore from a recent working backup, but the template editing issue persists.
Caching Management:
– I have thoroughly cleared all levels of caching: my WordPress caching plugins (e.g., [mention specific plugin if you use one]), server-side cache via my hosting provider, CDN cache (Cloudflare, etc.), and my browser cache (including incognito mode).
PHP Environment Configuration:
– I have verified my server’s PHP version (currently running 8.3.22)
– I have also manually increased critical PHP limits in my php.ini and wp-config.php, including:
– memory_limit 1024M
– post_max_size 1024M
– upload_max_filesize 1024M
– max_execution_time 600
– max_input_vars 5000
WordPress Core Diagnostics:
– I’ve checked the WordPress Site Health tool, and it reports no issues
– I’ve re-saved permalinks from the WordPress settings.
– I’ve tested editing in different browsers, ccomputers and incognito/private windows.
Plugin Conflicts:
– While pages/posts edit fine, I have also systematically deactivated non-TagDiv plugins that might interact with editors or custom content types to check for conflicts, but the template editing issue remained.
My leading hypothesis is that the problem may be tied to a version mismatch or conflict? My current system is detecting Newspaper Theme 12.6.9, while it seems certain theme components or template assets might have been created or are expecting an environment compatible with Newspaper Theme 12.7.3? This discrepancy appears to specifically affect the way TagDiv Library interacts with or loads template files, as all other Composer functionalities for pages and posts appear to be working correctly.
Could you please provide guidance on this specific issue? I can provide screenshots, access to the browser console, or temporary admin access if needed.
Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter.

Long story short. Something must have been corrupted in a Newspaper theme file. Hosting helped, had to do a theme restore, then a full site restore.
Hoping to be at the last mile of the fix… I cannot edit ANY templates. Gives me an error. Which I am hoping is related to another issue. It tells me I need to update from 12.6.9 –> 12.73. I click to update, take me to a screen that says everything is up to date. Which it isn’t, because it still says Im on 12.6.9.
TLDR. Restored, assume I was on 12.7.3 Now stuck on 12.6.9. And wont let me edit templates, Im assuming because it partially thinks Im on 12.7.3/12.6.9? Child theme too FYI. Screenshots included.

Hello,
I was updated on theme and plugins.
Also, I don’t see any strange characters in the social counter. But I do remember the problem happening after I pasted 27k for fixed count in facebook. I do not see how to undo that now.
Thanks
Hi tagDiv Support Team,
I hope this message finds you well.
I’m currently working with the Newspaper theme on the site redesign, stage with newspaper and live with my old theme.
My situation:
I’ve completed a complete site redesign on my staging environment using Newspaper theme’s template system. Now I need to push these templates to my live/production site without migrating all the posts/data (as the production site already has all the content).
What I need to transfer:
Custom templates (single post, category, homepage, etc.)
tagDiv Composer blocks and layouts
Theme settings and customizations
Any template configurations
What I want to keep on production:
All existing posts and content
Database data
Media files
My question:
What is the best way to export/import only the Newspaper theme templates and settings from staging to production? I want to avoid a full database migration since both sites have the same content, and I only need to update the design/templates.
Are there any built-in Newspaper theme tools or recommended methods for this specific scenario?
Thank you for your assistance!
When will there be an update to the Newspaper theme with the secure version of td-cloud-library because our WordPress.com server warns us that the td-cloud-library plugin version 3.9.2 has a major vulnerability?
Hi,
Related to the search problem, it will be need to replace the current theme plugn tagDiv Composr with the one from here – https://cdn.tagdiv.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/td-composerfix.zip
Also, we’ll prepare a theme update that will include the fix.
Thank you!
Hi, since the very last update last week, the search buttons are no longer working. I can do a live search and items do show up but when I hit the button, the search results page wont open and a fatal error page will pop up instead. I have enabled debug and this is what I get:

I have tried to use another cloud template for the search page, I have tried editing the existing one and saving… but nothing helps same error all the time.
Any clues on what is going on?
Thanks in advance,
Jose
Hello, Jetpack has identified the same vulnerability and indicates that it is high risk.
I have the theme updated and I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin (via the theme, which supposedly retrieves the latest version from your servers), but the problem persists!
However, the information available at: https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/0ecaeb97-4f67-4e79-bea8-9c9a6ab7add3/
Says it’s resolved, but how can we access the latest (fixed) version of the plugin?
They can help us.
Thank you.
Hi,
I’ve updated the Newspaper theme to the latest version (12.7.3), but the issue still persists. The tagDiv Cloud Library (v3.9.2) plugin is showing as vulnerable, and even after updating the theme, the problem remains unresolved.
Could you please advise on the next steps to fully fix this issue?
Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards,
Hi,
This kind of situation appears when, after the theme update, the theme plugins that have been previously installed are no longer installed/activated. In this case, the mentioned shortcodes are part of the tagDiv Standard Pack plugin, which can be installed from Newspape > plugins. After that, the problem will be resolved.
Thank you!
Hi,
I saw the problem. What I can recommend is to make sure that you are using the latest theme version, Newscape v12.7.3, and make sure that all theme plugins are updated (plugins you are using).
Next step is to check if you didn’t set some strange text characters in the social counter, the options for fix count should have only numbers nothing else – https://i.imgur.com/BuBqVSO.png
