Please make sure you have the latest version (11.3.2) of the theme, plugins and all the requirements are done as you can see here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/

Hello @seo.gody!
Please make sure you have the latest version (11.3.2) of the theme, plugins and all the requirements are done as you can see here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
If your settings from the theme panel are missing and you use default templates, then please make sure you have Standard pack plugin installed and active.

Hello @yonish3!
Then you can find the file in \wp-content\plugins\td-composer\legacy\common\wp_boostertd_wp_booster_functions.php 1752 line.
Please note that any change you make in the files after update will be overwritten and you have to make the changes again. Better save the code somewhere and then apply it again after update.
Thank you!
Hi,
The child theme need to be used only if you make some changes in the theme files, then you can set those in a child theme to not lose them when you update the theme. Therefore, if you do not make any changes in the theme files, then is no need to use it.
Thank you!
Hello,
The mobile theme comes with its own templates/design for pages, posts, categories, etc so your current templates from the desktop theme will get converted to the mobile theme layout. For more details, please take a look here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/ and https://forum.tagdiv.com/mobile-theme-introduction/3
Also, if you want to hide the featured image on the blocks, you can hide it with custom code CSS -> `
.td_module_mob_1 .item-details {
margin-left: 0px;
}
.td_module_mob_1 .td-module-thumb {
display: none;
}
` => https://i.imgur.com/mClWxeM.png
This need to be set in the theme panel> mobile theme > custom code> css.
Also, if you want to have more control over the mobile version, you can use the mobile page and you can make the changes with tagDiv Composer, like on the desktop version.
Thank you!
Hi,
If you need to edit the theme files to set your code, then you need to edit the files that correspond for the post style that you are using, for example if you are using post style 1 the file path is -> wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/Newsmag/parts/single/loop-single-1.php -> https://i.imgur.com/GMCyLr7.png if you make changes in those files, it will be better to set them in a child theme, making this the changes will not be lost when the theme will be updated.
I hope this will help you!
Hi,
do you suggest to install child theme. If I opt not no install child theme and work only with main theme. Could it become problematic in future to update to newer version of Newsmag.
Hello,
Im experiencing a lot of 502 and 504 errors. Our site is westfaironline.com. Back in October I was told to update the theme to its latest version. Which I did, but we are still having the same issues. I contacted our hosting provider and this is what they are telling me:
We have identified high admin-ajax.php utilization originating from the westfairsite install. Currently there is excessive ajax usage recently which is affecting the servers CPU Usage and affecting other users on the Shared server environment.
/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?td_theme_name=Newsmag&v=5.1
Because hits to admin-ajax.php can’t be cached, they tend to utilize a lot of the server’s resources. Therefore, you will want to contact your developer in order to reduce this usage so that the site performs better.
There are also a large amount of requests from the same IPs and user agents hitting the site at the moment. If these are legitimate, we suggest placing the site behind our Advanced Network/CloudFlare directly, and/or taking steps to minimize these hits either with a robots.txt crawl delay, or a code delay if these are part of a service. If they are not expected, we can assist with implementing blocks if you would like.

Hello @lalit!
Any change you make in the files after update will be overwritten and you have to make the changes again. Better save the code somewhere and then apply it again after update.
Thank you!
When will you release the next update? Will it be this month?
Hello @nwnuyhs!
Our developers are working a lot to improve the page speed in every update.
However, page loading speed can depend on many factors, and each website is unique from this point of view. Let me explain some of these factors and maybe they give you some starting points for optimizing your website.
External factors: server speed, if you are using CDN or not, the external resources loaded by your website like ads, fonts, tracking scripts like Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics, Twitter analytics, Hotjar and so on.
Internal factors: the number of elements on the page, image size, image formats, if you are using mobile optimized layouts, console errors, if you are using the Standard Pack plugin on not, if you are using PRO demo or a standard one.
But, we will take in consideration your query.
Thank you for your suggestion!
Hello,
This issue may be caused because you have an older version of the theme, and compatibility with the latest version of WordPress has been tested from version 11.1 greater.
If you want to update the theme I recommend that you update the theme on a staging website and make sure that you have activated the tagDiv Standard pack plugin to keep the look of the website.
Before the update, please make a full backup to all files and the database if something goes wrong => https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Unfortunately, there is a big difference between version v9.8 to version 11.3.1.
Here you can find information about the changes that have occurred in each update over time https://tagdiv.com/newspaper/
Let me know about your results!
Thank you!
Hello!
1. I can not see any black line at the top on the homepage in your website. Did you mean the sticky header or the top bar menu?
2. This demo uses the responsive version for mobile. A responsive version of your website is looking similar like on desktop, 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 you can edit the elements there.
Yes, you can import other templates and use mobile pages which are fully customizable and could be so different than desktop version, so you should build and assign them to each desktop page you need. If you do not build for every page, then for the rest of the pages you’ll have the responsive version of your desktop automatically. For more information about mobile pages, please check our article here: https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-10-3-7-update-brings-customizable-and-fast-mobile-pages/
OR if you do not want to build every page style, but you need different style too, then you can install the Mobile theme plugin. The Mobile Theme is a performance optimized theme included in the Newspaper main theme and it loads only for mobile devices. It comes with its own templates/design for page, post, category, etc so your current templates from the desktop theme will get converted to the mobile theme layout. For more details, please take a look here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/ and https://forum.tagdiv.com/mobile-theme-introduction/
You can use which one is suitable for your needs.
Thank you!
Hello,
For the moment we don’t have the Captcha, but in the next update, it will be added for login.
Thank you!
Do i need to add the code each time plugin updates or theme updates?
Update. I’ve had success with these settings:
Leave left and right margin clear (to allow a small margin), and set calc(100% + 70px)

I’m using the formula to adjust blocks lower down.
Thanks again.
Hello,
