Is it possible that the search no longer works after the last update?
we’ve tried everything and nothing works.
in CPT UI search is NOT disabled.
but it doesn’t even find articles that were entered in the standard post.
Hello,
I just tested the NP12 update and that does fix the flyout menu problem we were seeing that you couldn’t replicate earlier so that is good. We are still seeing the problem regarding mobile theme/AMP. Do you have an update on this?
“Pages set to not use the mobile theme in the individual page settings are completely broken”
Mobile theme enabled (for mobile and AMP)
• AMP enabled (only for posts)
• Newspaper 11.5.1+
• PHP 8.0
• WordPress 6.0.2
• Child theme enabled (blank from the plugin core with no modifications)
• A page that has the mobile theme manually turned off. This page should default to use the responsive theme but is broken.
Thanks-
Stan
Thank you very much for your reply Anamaria. The problem is that when I go back to version 11.5.1 everything is still wrong. What do I do? Do I go back to version 11.5.1 even if everything is still wrong and manually update to 12?
And another different problem is the problem with the header. How can I solve it? I’m a bit lost. Thank you very much.
Hi,
Please try to do the update manually via FTP/cPanel -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and do a full backup of all files and databases before updating.
Also, please try to update the theme without extra plugins activated during the installation, as this may interfere with the installation process.
Also, after the update please make the tagDiv plugins are installed, like tagDiv Standard Pack, tagDiv Composer.
Thank you!
I fully agree with this. The performance is getting worse and worse in my opinion. Being able to turn off individual options would definitely be a good solution. I took back the update to 12 anyway, because my page only showed content encoding errors. Actually, I like this theme very much, but really thinking about looking around for a possible alternative.
When it comes to performance and optimization, they are either unresponsive or offer copy-paste suggestions. Many website owners already make these “off-the-shelf” recommendations. I wrote many times that new updates should focus on “OPTIMIZATION” but it didn’t work. I love this theme but I am among those who stopped using it because of these issues.
Ok, I deactivated the plugin Aruba HiSpeed Cache (which is a mandatory install – automatically updated by the hosting provider) and the saving issue has been resolved.
I’m not using a child theme, I’m using the Magazine Pro template
I can’t even update the theme correctly. It can’t be installed due to however some errors. Other parts of the update were correctly installed, but not the newspaper theme? I actually don’t understand the error.
Hi, I just updated Newspaper to version 12, and two of the four required plugins have failed to install and are no longer updated. Only the tagdivd composer and tagdiv clud library plugins are updated. This has caused my website to lose the header logo, and in the AMP version the photographs do not appear and everything appears out of square. I have tried to go back to version 11.5.1 and those two plugins are still not updated. I am very worried and I don’t know what to do. Thanks.
Hello,
The problem is solved in version 12 of the theme.
I recommend you update the theme on a staging website and make sure that you activate the tagDiv plugins activated to keep the website’s look.
Before the update, please fully backup all files and the database if something goes wrong. => https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/.
Also, please let us know about errors when you try to update the theme; also, please disable all extra plugins.
Thank you!
Hi,
We understand that this update is not to everyone’s liking, but I don’t think it’s possible to please all customers, because everyone needs different options. The tagDiv team tries their best to add as many options as possible and make the theme as good as possible.
If you researched the list of what was introduced in this update, then you would have seen that this update is based on CPT, ACF and positions on the frontend.
If you want a specific layout, how many options does the theme have now, I don’t think it can be achieved with the Newspaper theme, you just have to try to use tagDv Composer and cloud templates, once you learn how to use them you won’t need to wait after the demos from the updates and you can create your own templates.

Thank you!
I’m impressed with your efforts to make newspapers theme with top notch features and ease of using the theme options. I love your theme and also I recommend it whenever I get a chance.
In recent updates you have added great features like content submission, contact form, opt-in form, subscription, etc. You tagdiv team is passionated towards their great work.
You have almost everything in theme to make amazing websites but
I have an idea if you can add it in the tagdiv page builder, “TABLE OF CONTENTS”, TOC block in the tagdiv builder help us to add table of contents block and help us to modify its style according the theme’s style.
Yes, we can use plugin for that purpose but if its possible for you to add it in the theme it is really helpful to remove any other plugin dependency, and styling of the TOC block.
If your team align with my thoughts and if it is okay for you team then surely add TOC block in tagdiv page builder.
Hi there, I have paid version of Newspaper.. System asked me to update to version 12 which I did, but Version 12 broke my header.. Please see this link “https://www.shippingandfreightresource.com/wp-content/uploads/version12.jpg”.. I tried to roll back to 11.5.1 using the Theme Panel, that also didn’t help..
This has happened before as well and am very nervous whenever you release an update.. Pls solve this once for all, thanks..
Hi, after the latest update the “Primary Category” field in the Post Settings area is Resetting to “Auto select a category” each time I open the post inside Wp-Admin for the editing. In short: the module is not saving my choices.
This is also reflecting in the home page: now every new post has the first category shown, ignoring my own choice for the “Primary Category” and so the label shown.
The “Primary Category” I’m talking about is this one.
Example
1) I go online with this post: “Strictly come dancing: what happens tonight on BBC One”. It has categories: “Watch Now”, “BBC”, “TV”, “Live streaming”, etc
2) I’m selecting “BBC” as Primary Category in the Post Settings, because I want that category to be shown under the post title in the homepage (using Block 14)
3) Instead, the Home Page is showing “Watch Now”
4) I go back in Wp-Admin to edit the post and I find that Primary Category is set on “Auto” (while I had selected “BBC”)
5) I select again “BBC” and save the post
6) But it’s not working. Everytime I go back to editing, the field is on “Auto”. It’s not saving.
So, what went wrong? How to resolve?
Any update?
As u can see here, regenerating thumbnails is not working.
Update:
My initial suspicion was correct, since both themes using the same plugins with different settings that created the conflict and crashed the WP engine.
I have renamed the td-composer and other td-plugings and the NewsPaper12 asked to install those new plugins and License and all is working now. We still need to change the logos and some colours but all is good.
The update so far is good particularly for its ACF and front-end submission, though some ACF Field Types still need additional updates, particularly ‘wysiwyg editor’. How about inline related post tools? Are we not talking about this for a while?
We lost all settings after updating to the latest version 12. Now we have to again edit and build our site style from scratch?
Hi
With the new update, I tried to make a filter with plays, theater, location, schedules, genres, etc. … impossible.
I looked into the “Real Estate PRO” template to see how they made the filters.
I noticed that they don’t have the “custom post UI” plugin enabled and the only one that is enabled is “Advanced Custom Fields” I don’t know how they do to create the “Property” part where the properties are added without having “custom post UI”.
In my particular case, having enabled “advanced Custom fields” the usual “custom fields” disappear and I can not make modifications in the views x example. Disabling “advanced custom fields” the “custom fields” that come with wordpress appear again.
And not to mention that I don’t have the same format of “Real Estate PRO” when loading the post, the new fields…
Frustrating, and complicated … just to perform the loading of works and then assemble a filter.
Hello
I know there might be a lot of people raving for the update but I’m sadly not one of them and here is why, which hopefully will help you to understand different point of views.
The major and all-praised update 12 brought us essentially just two features – most of the other features are just part of the so-called directory part, like front end sumbission.
1. Directory
Well to be honest everything you showed now was something we all expected with the 11 or 11.5 update when you advertised CPT and directory functions and what not. This was expected for that update but now you deliver something for what we don’t even have a documentation.
Let’s be honest here. The system will never be a full directory system because you guy are offering a newspaper theme and not a directory plugin. There goes so much into a directory functionality. CPT does not mean it needs to be a directory feature.
If you want something that comes close to a directory, allow your users the integration of GeoDirectory which is a real and proven plugin. I tried to utilize CPT to make the design work but your theme is lacking of many option to retrieve the code from GeoDirectory etc. Last it was mentioned this will be improved with this update. I’ll need to verify yet.
2. User Reviews
I’m actually not sure if this was even requested a lot based on the feedback on TF and your support forum. Most complaints about reviews were in regards to schema and that the system is lacking for options for author reviews. These days a lot of people are reviewing products, services, etc. This is were more features, granular options and design is very much needed.
In my case I’m now stuck with something I have not asked and it keeps loading up on my backend and wasting resources. Please let me know how to get rid of the user review part on my website. I don’t want to have it there or load anything.
3. Give users the option to enable or disable any features you release instead of just loading them on the site. See my User-Review complaint. Give me a toggle to turn it off so it does not load any additional files etc – or make it a plugin.
4. Focus on what you are – a newspaper theme and not the magic theme that does everything. Your theme is $58 and nobody should expect all the functionality from premium plugin out there. You’ll always get more requests from people to incorporate features from paid plugins into your theme. This is not working. Of course people are trying to go the cheapest way if possible but you have to decide if that’s good for you or sustainable. Author reviews function/features is content. A standalone Directory system is not.
Focus on content. Focus on a lean theme that is fast and does not have miles-long waste of full code on the page. Excel in bug fixes, make them more often. Relax on big feature announcements or updates when you release only half-baked solutions -> the first release of paywall (that was a mess) or the directory now.
5. Don’t let people wait 4 months for bug fixes because you are working on big updates. Your work is affecting all our websites and some of your clients are relying on good ranking and user experience to make some money. We were waiting too long for the review schema fix and the flex block requests and loading issue. Paywall still didn’t address a couple of things.
6. Deliver quality improvements not quantity features.
I have all sympathies for your hard work but for me, the wait was useless as nothing really changed. Now I have to wait another 4 months to hopefully get an update that takes care of author reviews so we can write reviews that look amazing. Or I have to switch to a theme that has that already but plays nice with CPT/ACF from other plugins.
Sorry to be the downer here.
We hope this one will be add in the coming theme updates!
Hello,
This update was made to combine ACF and CPT, which can help you build and display a lot of information, allowing you to create much more complex sites.
The review system now also allows visitors to review your post.

Thank you!
I am using ACF Pro, one of the plugins you used in your last update. I’m trying to use Repeater and Accordion but it’s not working. Do you have a solution suggestion for this problem or is this problem related to the theme?
I did exactly as you suggested. Since yesterday the site is on the new php 8.1 and errors are always generated in functions.php as shown below. How is it resolved definitively? In the email you told me to wait for the update from the technicians. With the new version can I use the new php 8.1?
