Hello, we have built a website and hosted on a space provided by default with a system of high speed cache, that cannot be deactivated. We also cannot change hosting.
We saw that some other users issued the same problem: cache always, for every single page, returns the first display mode (mobile/desktop) used. We have just applied ALL of your suggestion: our provider has an hight speed cache and he cannot deactivate it.
So, if the first device after a cache clearing is a mobile, than all the users, including desktop users, will see the mobile version of that single page, until the next clearing procedure.
In this way we cannot offer a professional website to our visitors and also a service to our advertisers.
This is the website: https://www.rottadeitrasporti.it/
Please, help us with a corrective update because we never seen this kind of behaviour before with a WordPress theme, and we used to set up hundreds of them.
Thank you in advance for your kind help.
Hello @L1theR !
It is not updated yet. We will try to update the templates as soon as possible.
Thank you for understanding!
Hello Ana!
We have 3 options for mobile versions that you can use:
1. Responsive version: A responsive version of your website looks similar to the desktop version. Edit the page with TagDiv Composer. Click on the mobile viewport: https://www.screencast.com/t/XDQJedlggSB. There you can see your mobile version and edit or adjust the elements to look better.
2. Mobile pages: https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-10-3-7-update-brings-customizable-and-fast-mobile-pages
3. Mobile theme plugin: The Mobile Theme is a performance-optimized theme included in the main Newspaper theme that only loads on mobile devices. It comes with its own templates and design for pages, posts, categories, etc., so your current templates from the desktop theme will get converted to the mobile theme layout. For more information, please visit https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/ and https://forum.tagdiv.com/mobile-theme-introduction/.
A full explanation is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpGkOnJeNZY
If you need to use the mobile version 1 or 2, then you need to disable the Mobile Theme plugin.
The Mobile theme has only some settings and can not be customized with the TagDiv Composer. Check this thread where we discussed it: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/amp-and-mobile-theme-plugins-issues-with-google-analytics-and-ads-sense/
Thank you!
Jetpack has found a vulnerability in the Newspaper tagDiv composer. Now we can’t peacefully sleep at night without thinking about being hacked. Here’s the message below:
tagDiv Composer (3.5 | built on 19.10.2022 13:12)
tagDiv Composer < 3.5 – Unauthenticated Account Takeover
What is the problem?
The plugin, required by the themes, does not properly implement the Facebook login feature, allowing unauthenticated attackers to log in as any user by just knowing their email address.

How to fix it?
Update to tagDiv Composer 3.5
Hello @terzaplus !
Deactivate all the extra non-tagdiv plugins and then try to update the theme via FTP as I described above.Â
Thank you!
Hi,
Thanks for reply.
I changed my Newspaper Version from 12.1 to 12. So it seems fine right now.
But I wonder how to update my Newspaper version successfully without any garbled text.
Thanks again!
Hello @TerzaPlus !
I’ve checked your website and it seems to be working well now. Did you manage to solve the issue?Â
I would gladly recommend you make a backup and update plugins and the theme via file transfer to the latest update: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thank you!
Hi,
I just checked and drop cap is already disabled. I think this could be a Newspaper thing because it’s only happening since version 12 update. Before that it was ok.
Could you investigate further?
PD. FYI, in backend editor the letter is normal. It’s only visible in frontend.
PD2. If I enable the drop cap, the letter is even bigger…
Thank you very much.
Hi,
My website was updated to Newspaper Theme Version: 12.1 few days ago.
It looks fine when in the backend.(https://imgur.com/aXLm0L3)
However, in the frontend, it is full of garbled text like this.(https://imgur.com/7XqZeJv)
Can you guys help me with this problem? Thanks a lot!

Hi Anh Tuan Trinh,
This problem was in 11.5.1 please do a full backup and update the theme to v11.2.1, the problem should be resolved.
Thank you!
I believe there will be a theme update with it.
Indeed sometimes it is updated only the plugin not the entire theme, in this case, we’ll try to notify you.
Thank yoU!
Hello @dc1!
No, we do not plan to update this plugin, and we recommend not using it anymore.Â
In that thread, you can see some screenshots from that link, which is not more public.
Thank you!
UPDATE @bettina – managed to do it. Thank you for your time 🙂
Hi Bettina,
Thanks for the link, I read the thread. Though it doesn’t really answer my question on whether or not you plan on updating WP Bakery or whether your effors going forward will be exclusively focussed on TagDiv Composer.
Since WP Bakery wasn’t updated for over a year, it seems fair to assume that you will not be updating it any longer, and that I have no choice but to update to the TagDiv Composer since if I leave WP Bakery unupdated, it may become vunerable, and if I get a licence, it may become incompatible with Newspaper.
Could you please advise on how we can make this transition as smooth as possible? As the documentation on migrating gives a 404.
Hi,
Since version 12 update, some of my paragraph blocks started to show a big capital letter, which I didn’t set. Example:
ÂżHow can I revert it?
Thanks.
Hi there,
My client’s site uses the WP Bakery plugin rather that the tagDiv composer. My understanding was that with Newspaper updates, new versions of WP Bakery would be included. But after the most recent update, I checked the WP Bakery version and it is 6.6, released early last year. I also couldn’t locate a copy of the plugin in the plugins folder of a recent Themeforest download.
Please could you clarify whether you have indeed discontinued updating this plugin. If you have, then I could consider getting a licence for WP Bakery, however I am concerned that you may no longer be developing the theme with WP Bakery in mind, but rather focussing on the tagDiv Composer.
I also wanted to read your documentation about moving from WP Bakery to tagDiv but it gives a 404: https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Hello,
Please do a full backup to all files and databases, and then disable the extra plugins you have; let activated only the tagdiv plugins that you use and try after the update.
Thank you!
Hello,
updating the site https://www.praxis-schuchbernard.com via the WordPress Dashboard doesn’t work. I am using 11.4.3 and wanted to update to 12.1 – whenever I click “Install update” I see the window “Update Theme & Plugin” where I get asked if I want to continue. I click “update” – and come to the WordPress-update-site where nothing happens.
I also tried it with the Newspaper Time Machine – same thing.
I know I can update via FTP, but I really want to do it via WordPress directly as it is far easier for me…
1. Is there a plugin tagdiv css analyser for the newsmag template and how can I activate it?
when I test Google page speed, I get bad results, mostly because of large css and js files.
td_legacy_main.css is almost unnecessary for non-registered users.
2. is there an option for extra payment from newsmag to newspaper template, I see that you update the newspaper more often, it also has a wider template?
or will I have to buy a new license again?
Any other link besides any link to any page on my website will work still on TikTok. That is the problem. Links to my website used to work on TikTok until October 19 and now it doesn’t. Are you saying this is merely a coincidence this problem started happening the same day the newspaper theme had the 12.1 update?
I use iThemes Security and it has reported this on my site:
Known issues in tagDiv Composer v3.5
tagDiv Composer < 3.5 – Unauthenticated Account Takeover
Fixed in version 3.5
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2022-3477
How can I check which version I’m using and how can I update it? I am using Newspaper 12.1, so I thought it would ship with the latest version with fixed vulnerabilities.
Thank you
Hello @fbm!
It seems that we have some issues regarding the Molongui plugin, which I hope we will solve in the next updates.Â
Another recommended plugin is the Guest Author & Co-AuthorCo-Authors Plus plugin.
Thank you!
Hi,
Since Newspaper version 11.2 I have been unable to successfully update my site to any higher version automatically.
After the update has been applied, my page layouts, Logo, sidebar settings and more are lost and I see the composer “shortcodes” instead of the previously existent blocks. Exporting/Importing settings manually does not help.
My site is already running the latest WordPress version 6.0.3.
