Do you have a timeline of when new major updates will be released? I really like the Newspaper theme but we haven’t had modern updates and features for a while.
I will need help with implementing some features in the months to come, such as creating a pricing table payment, implementing a paywall for exclusive content, and front end guest and sponsored posts submission management and payment.
Then at some point I might need help with the redesign of the website to something more modern with modern features like dark mode. I won’t post competing themes on here out of courtesy but I do think there are newer themes that are better built and designed but that lack a lot of features that come included with Newspaper that I like. I will need these soon as we are growing quite a bit.

Hi,
This is because you are using an old theme version. Please make a full backup and update wordpress and the theme with the theme plugins to the latest version https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
After that the problem should be resolved.
Thank you!
I bought this plugin in 2019 and installed it in the available wordpress version back then.
The plugin version is 2.3 in tagDiv Composer and 4.5 in tagDiv Social Counter.
My wordpress version is 6.4.6.
As I wrote on the title, the problem is that every day, both plugins get disabled for no reason and It breaks the website UI.
I’ve tried to search some reason in the logs but I didn’t find anything.
I’ve tried to update them to the last version but I got this error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare td_include_user_compiled_css() (previously declared in /var/www/html/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_wp_booster_functions.php:344) in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/common/common.php on line 59
Hi,
Our developers have a task to add/improve the accessibility for the website and it will be checked for the coming update. What I can suggest now is to use a plugin for this:
Top 8 WordPress accessibility plugins every website should use in 2025
Thank you!
Are you planning to implement any accessibility updates? The menu isn’t accessible. I look forward to your response.
Hi,
This issue is related to how WordPress handles permalinks and page slugs, not your theme.
Please follow these steps:
Edit the page titled “The Café”.
Under the page title, click “Edit” next to the permalink and make sure the slug is exactly the-cafe, then update the page. https://i.imgur.com/jgj2Ltj.png
Go to Settings > Permalinks in your dashboard and click “Save Changes” (this refreshes permalink structure, even if you don’t change anything).
Clear your browser cache and any caching plugin or server cache you might be using.
Try viewing the page again.
If it still redirects to /the-cafe-8/, it may be cached in your database. In that case, try creating the page with a new slug (e.g. the-cafe-new) and see if that works.
Let me know how it goes!
@Calin Hi, good afternoon. I created three buttons using AI, this one here: https://ibb.co/mVgNZh9x
First, I added the code using the TagDiv Composer’s Raw HTML, and it appeared on every page. This button… Worst of all, TagDiv Composer stopped working and wouldn’t let me delete the code from the buttons. I’ve already uninstalled the plugin and installed it, and TagDiv Composer still won’t work. This error appears: https://ibb.co/vvLV4fPT
How do I add any code to the TagDiv Composer’s Raw HTML? This is “IT WAS NOT supposed to appear on all posts,” the theme owner warns. An update should fix this. If it didn’t appear on all posts, I would delete just that post and that would solve the problem.
I’m having this problem. TagDiv Composer doesn’t work at all, and I can’t delete this code. Look at this. https://app.screencast.com/0b76ym2vOOV26
I need to delete this code from the buttons, and I can’t. The TagDiv Composer still doesn’t work and won’t let me edit or delete the code. I need to delete this code.
Hi,
The notification you are receiving means that the theme cannot reach our server and verify the key. The theme performs a check to verify the validity of the key and tries to connect to our database. If something interferes with this check, the theme will display that message. The check is made when accessing the demo install panel, the theme updates panel, or the license panel.
This kind of issue can be caused by plugin conflicts, or conflicts with various security/firewall settings from plugins or from the hosting, or from website restrictions set by the hosting. If something blocks the theme from verifying the key, the respective message is displayed and the theme will have limitations, unfortunately.
The first thing to do would be to check with the hosting if there are any restrictions in place, which would not allow the theme to reach our server and verify the key. I will take a look as well, for this please contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com, I will need wp-admin login for the respective website and the license key, and also cPanel or a similar server manager. Let me know.
Thanks,
Hello,
I am trying to use the official child theme following the official documentation at https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
I have downloaded the full Newspaper package and located the official child theme in the /code/ folder. I have placed this folder in my /wp-content/themes/ folder. When attempting to activate this theme, I receive a fatal error on my site:
There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums.
Inspecting error logs, I find this error:
2025/08/06 22:27:18 [error] 53#53: *900 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Warning: require_once(/www/kinsta/public/mysite/wp-content/themes/Newspaper-child/blocks/acf-blocks-loader.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /www/kinsta/public/mysite/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/functions.php on line 644;
It looks like the parent Newsletter theme is looking for files/folders it expects to be in the active theme instead of the template. The child theme should not be required to contain specific files/folders from the parent theme unless the child theme intends to make changes in these files. This causes the child theme to be highly vulnerable to future updates from the parent theme.
When looking at the official child theme documentation you state:
!Important:
Since all of the theme functionality was moved to the tagDiv Standard Pack, the root theme folder is wp-content\plugins\td-standard-pack\Newspaper.
You do not have to place this path in your child theme though. Simply add the files in newspaper-child directly and the system will rewrite files from the above folder.
However, the td-standard-pack is an optional plugin, and I have a few questions:
1.) Does it need to be activated in order for child themes to work?
2.) Is it required to copy the files/folders from this plugin into the child theme folder?
3.) If it was your intention for the child theme to contain these files, why does the official child theme not come with them?
4.) Is the official child theme intended to be broken as-is until these files are added?
Thank you for any help you can provide.
Hi everyone,
I’m currently using WPBakery Page Builder version 8.4.1 on my website, and I’ve noticed there are security vulnerabilities in this version. I’d like to update it to version 8.6.1, but I’m not sure what the correct procedure is.
I installed the plugin as part of my theme, so I’m not sure if I can update it manually or if I need to wait for a theme update.
Can someone please clarify:
What’s the recommended way to update WPBakery safely?
If it’s bundled with my theme, is there a workaround to update it independently?
Do I need to purchase a separate license to get access to the latest version?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
hi,
When translating the tagDiv theme post settings using WPML, the translation does not take effect and reverts to the original language (Arabic). I have to switch the post page to English and manually translate the post settings for the translation to appear correctly. The image Alt text also does not show the translated text.
I’ve asked a help from WPML support team and got that the issue is with tagDiv Cloud Library and here is their reply:
Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
I was able to reproduce the issue in my sandbox site. However, after further investigation I found that the issue is coming from an accompanying plugin by the theme (tagDiv Cloud Library). If I deactivate this plugin, update the translation and check again, those fields retain the proper translated values (in backend and frontend).
Here’s my screen recording showing the above mentioned.
I’ll recommend contacting theme support and request a resolution.
here is the website: https://www.voiceofemirates.com
WPML screen recording on this issue: https://limewire.com/d/6NOrz#jGD9jR5k3Z
Please help in solving this issue.

Can you send me the latest update of the wpbakery page builder?
Hello @Calin I seem to have the same issue. Since PHP updates cause some errors with different plugins, I am testing it on the Staging site. The only error I am getting is this:
Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the td-cloud-library domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home/customer/www/staging3….in/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6121 – which is basically:
if ( E_USER_ERROR === $error_level ) {
throw new WP_Exception( $message );
}
trigger_error( $message, $error_level );
}
May I ask how you all solved this?
we cannot add a custom css for the theme quotes. the theme is outputting this:
.tdi_141 .tdb-block-inner blockquote p {
font-family: Chivo !important;
font-size: 48px !important;
line-height: 1 !important;
font-weight: 900 !important;
text-transform: none !important;
color: #000000;
}
but if we add something to the wp customizer, with the !important nothing happen because the code above is outputted after so we are not able to change the theme css. any suggestion on how to update the quotes css?
for example this is not applied:
.tdb-block-inner blockquote p {
font-size: 22px !important;
font-weight: 600 !important;
line-height: 1rem ! Important;
}
thank you!
We’re currently working on a bulk update of post categories for approximately 35,000 posts. We have a CSV file that includes the post IDs along with their corresponding new categories. We initially attempted to use the WP All Import plugin for this task, but it hasn’t been successful. We suspect there may be a compatibility issue with the Newspaper theme, though we haven’t been able to confirm this.
Are there any alternative methods or recommended approaches for updating post categories in bulk under these circumstances? Alternatively, any guidance on how to troubleshoot or configure WP All Import to work correctly in this context would also be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
We are working to a theme update, but this one will not be the N 13, I think that one will be at the end or the year 😀
Thank you!
I am trying to write logic in the functions.php to check the slug of my categories and if is category A then it updates the template, category B then its a different template on the post. It seems to be changing this via the metadata but not actually reflecting.
Anyone have any idea why it would update in the meta but not reflect? This was the code I was using:
add_action('save_post', function($post_id) {
if (defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE) return;
if (wp_is_post_revision($post_id)) return;
if (get_post_type($post_id) !== 'post') return;
$categories = get_the_category($post_id);
if (empty($categories)) return;
$category_slugs = wp_list_pluck($categories, 'slug');
$template_map = [
'slugA' => 'tdb_template_1010',
'slugB' => 'tdb_template_1009',
'slugC' => 'tdb_template_1010',
];
$selected_template = 'tdb_template_919'; // Default template
foreach ($template_map as $slug => $template) {
if (in_array($slug, $category_slugs)) {
$selected_template = $template;
break;
}
}
// Always update base template
update_post_meta($post_id, 'td_post_template', $selected_template);
// Pull existing theme settings (or create new)
$theme_settings = get_post_meta($post_id, 'td_post_theme_settings', true);
if (!is_array($theme_settings)) {
$theme_settings = [];
}
// Inject template assignment into theme settings
$theme_settings['td_post_template'] = $selected_template;
// Save updated array
update_post_meta($post_id, 'td_post_theme_settings', $theme_settings);
});
Hi tagDiv team,
I’m facing a critical issue with the tagDiv Composer when trying to edit the homepage of my website, which uses the Newspaper theme version 12.7.1. The page was built entirely with Composer, but I can no longer open it in the visual editor.
The following error appears:
Error at zones: 6(models) : 5(dom). The model does not match the content. Current state has involved an issue. You could try an UNDO operation (CTRL+Z / CTRL+SHIFT+Z)
The page is displayed correctly on the front end — the problem occurs only when attempting to edit it in Composer.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
Cleared browser and site cache;
Deactivated and reactivated the Composer plugin;
Updated all plugins and the theme;
Manually checked and fixed duplicate el_ids and empty zones via the Classic Editor.
Even after cleaning up the code, the Composer still won’t load the homepage.
I’d appreciate help with the following:
What exactly causes this error in the Composer?
Is there a safe way to rebuild or re-sync the DOM model?
Is it possible to recover editing capabilities without recreating the page from scratch?
Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Hi,
I’m glad you managed the situation!
What I recommend for the post_view is to disable those options from the theme panel – https://i.imgur.com/IgvZFub.png – https://i.imgur.com/wnBKD6r.png – https://i.imgur.com/Vms107h.png. Also, if you have the view count element on your single post template, please remove it. After that those tables should no longer be updated by the theme:
post_views_count
post_view_7days_last_day
post_views_count_7_day_last_date
post_views_count_7_day_total
post_views_last_24_hours
post_views_last_48_hours
Hi,
Usually, the situation you mentioned appears when the theme is updated, but the theme plugins are only removed and are no longer installed. What I recommend is to check all tagDiv plugins you are using before the theme update. After the theme is updated, go to Newspaper > plugins and reinstall all those theme plugins.
Thank you!
My website based on the Newspaper theme is blank after Updating the theme plugins and I have tried disabling the plugins one by one by the solution is not working. The site is also spling raw code on the frontend when i deactivate the tagDiv Composer plugin.
Site displays a critical error message on the frontend with all the plugins activated
Hi Calin, after testing a manual update of the theme in a cloned stagging site, all the depending plugins where automaticly avaliable for update. Used the same method on the live site. Problem is now solved. Thanks.
Regards
Rui
Please do a test using only tagDiv plugins.
Alternatively, the theme can be updated manually https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ – https://i.imgur.com/zh3je61.png
Hi Calin,
i already did, several times. There is some kind of connection issue that is not retrieving the themes latest update.
