I’m using the Newspaper theme with LiteSpeed Cache and Cloudflare, and I have a question regarding the built-in weather block. I’m using the default weather block in the header, However, due to caching (LiteSpeed + Cloudflare), the weather info also gets cached along with the full page. As a result, it does not update in real-time for visitors. How to fix?
Hi! We have the most recent theme version and WordPress version 6.8.1 installed. We create and edit our posts with Gutenberg, the classic WordPress editor, but this persistent error is hindering our workflow. As a medical news website requiring daily updates, this issue significantly impacts our operations.
Thank you in advance.
Hi, I have updated my website previous month, but after the update on mobile view website is shifting to right and there is a white space on full page. Also on pages, the text is not coming in full view, the text is coming left align, can you please check
Thanks this link is useful.
To make sure I have a proper understanding, If I install the child theme, do I need to install the child theme on all of these: single Templates + Modules + Headers + Blocks + Category template + Category top post style + Footer template ? As explained in this page https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
If the plugin that we customized is the optin builder, is it related to child theme to install so that if I update the newspaper template, I don’t loose everytime all the code?
Maybe can I share with you the credentials of my website so you have a look at the customization done on the plugin optin builder and you tell me if child theme solves the issue of newspaper template update?
Thanks for your help.

The past month (June) I have had to manually post stuff to our business page, regardless of plugin. Facebook may or may not go into endless loop trying to load posting app, may not show image, etc. — not theme specific, or plugin specific. As long as you have proper open graph tags, and your image is not too small or too large, or unsupported format, it’s entirely up to FB to “scrape” the image. If your server super slow, may timeout. If you manage to get a post onto your FB page, and the image does not show, wait a little bit and click the … update attachment. That sometimes works for me.
Hi, I am using the UK London template but its logo still appears on my mobile device – not my tablet or my mac when updated. I have looked at past threads on this but can not see how to fix it.
Please can you send me some guidance.
Many thanks!
Hi!
We use the Newspaper theme on our website. For about 4 or 5 months now, we’ve been getting the following error constantly when trying to publish a post. Typically, our posts only include the featured image, although we sometimes include an extra image or a YouTube URL.
JSON error: “Update failed. The response is not a valid JSON response.”
We’ve enabled WP debug mode, and the error keeps recurring is the following:
PHP Deprecated: parse_str(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /var/www/html/wp-content/themes/NewspaperMyP/functions.php on line 75
Can you help us, please?
Dear [Theme Support Team / Developer Name],
I’m currently using your theme on my website and I’ve encountered an issue with the social sharing options. The theme’s social sharing buttons are not displaying the major platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter.
Under the Theme Panel > Social / APIs > Social Networks, I can only see a limited list such as Naver, Flipboard, Copy URL, Kakao, Gettr, and Koo. These platforms are not widely used by my audience, and I require the ability to enable more common and widely used networks.
Issue Summary:
Required platforms not visible: WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter
Currently available: Naver, Flipboard, Kakao, Gettr, Koo, etc.
Theme panel checked: Yes, under Social Networks/API section
Could you please advise how to enable the missing platforms or if any plugin/additional configuration is needed? If this is a limitation, kindly let me know if there’s a workaround or plan to support more social media networks in upcoming updates.
I see that I can’t simply insert the needed data in td_flex_block_3.php
I use tagDiv Composer v2.7 and Newspaper theme v10.3.9.1 and it will be a pain to do an update. Would you please tell me how to edit modules connected to this block? Maybe this approach will work?
Hi TagDiv team,
I’m encountering a recurring error when trying to edit a page using TagDiv Composer on my staging site.
Error message:
Error at zones: 6(models): 0[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).
Steps to reproduce:
I open a page with TagDiv Composer.
After making small changes or loading a draft, the canvas goes blank and the error message appears.
Undo doesn’t resolve it, and I’m unable to proceed with edits.
Site info:
Theme: Newspaper (latest version)
TagDiv Composer: (latest version)
Hosting: BigScoots staging server
WordPress: [insert version, e.g., 6.5.3]
Site URL: [insert staging URL if possible]
What I’ve already tried:
Clearing browser and site cache
Undoing changes (CTRL+Z)
Editing from different browsers
Checking plugin/theme version updates
Would love help resolving this—I’m in the middle of relaunching the site and can’t make front-end edits due to this issue.
Thanks in advance!

Hi again,
Thank you for your previous response. I understand that there is currently no native support for a global Page template similar to how Single Post templates work via Cloud Library.
However, duplicating a designed page manually for each of our pages is unfortunately not a scalable or maintainable solution for our workflow.
Here’s why:
We have over 80 static Pages (not Posts) — such as “Rankings”, “Terms of Use”, “Privacy Policy”, etc.
We need all these pages to have a consistent layout, identical to our Single Post template (header, featured image, date, sidebars, etc.).
Editing and managing 80 separate copies of the same layout breaks maintainability — any design update means repeating changes manually 80 times.
The current Cloud Library approach works great for posts, but we’re specifically trying to apply it to WordPress Pages.
We’ve tried using custom page.php templates in the theme or plugin folders, but TagDiv Cloud Library always overrides the page output.
What we’re asking:
Is there any method — through PHP, a filter, or even a workaround — to assign a single Cloud Template (or custom template) globally to all WordPress Pages and have it pull each page’s content automatically?
We believe this would be extremely useful for many use cases, and perhaps there’s an internal way or workaround that we’re missing.
Thank you again for your support and time — we really hope there’s a way to make this work.
Best regards,
Hi,
Using tagDiv Composer on element you can enabled/disable the options that the block has.
To edit the block in code you need to do it in theme files, unfortunately the code will be lost when the theme will be updated.
To add multiple authors you can use this guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/adding-multiple-authors-articles/
Thank you!
Hi,
You’re absolutely right to be cautious updating WordPress core or plugins does overwrite their files, which will cause any direct customizations to be lost.
To avoid losing custom code during updates:
-use a child theme for theme-related changes.
– create a custom plugin for functionality changes.
– use hooks (actions/filters) to modify plugins without editing them.
– avoid editing core or plugin files directly.
Unfortunately, most of the time when a plugin is modified directly in the code, the only solution is to make the changes in the plugin again when updating.
Hi,
This is on our list, but for now it doesn’t appear as if a developer has reached out to check it, but I hope it will be by the update.
Thank you!
Hello Team,
I have customized several plugins (including opt in builder) .. + other plugin none related to the theme (event manager, OTP)…
The issue is that if I update plugins or wordpress version, all the code customized is lost.
So I wanted to know if you know where the customized code should be placed within wordpress, so we don’t lose the code when we update wordpress or a plugin.
Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for your follow-up, and I truly appreciate the time you took to outline your concerns in detail.
Firstly, I completely understand your frustration—when your website isn’t displaying correctly, especially in a client-facing industry like media and marketing, it reflects poorly and can be stressful. It’s clear you’ve put a lot into your site, and that dedication is not taken lightly on our end.
Let me address a few key points:
Just to clarify: when a product like the Newspaper theme is purchased on ThemeForest, it includes 6 months of support by Envato’s terms. This is an industry standard for digital products and is not unique to us.
While I understand your point about car recalls, there’s a big difference between a $15,000+ physical product with safety implications and a $59 digital theme. Comparing them isn’t quite apples to apples.
That said, your license for the theme remains valid forever, and you’ll always receive free lifetime updates. However, access to personalized support, including troubleshooting custom site issues, does require an active support license.
If you decide to continue using Newspaper and extend support, we’re more than ready to jump in and resolve this for you quickly and thoroughly (contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide screenshots and details so we can take a final look together.
). If you choose to move to another platform, we sincerely wish you the best and thank you for using our product all these years.
Thank you!
Can’t figure out how to put several Single Post shortcodes like author name | publishing date | update date etc for example next to each other in a row / inner row. Or add extra elements to an existing one (See https://ibb.co/8LhpCGN5). Every time I try to drag and drop an element into the row it is put underneath the row not in the row. Any tutorial/instructions available?
Hi,
This notice will be resolved in the coming theme update, but until then if you want you can get the plugin td cloud library with the fix from here – https://cdn.tagdiv.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/td-cloud-library.zip this should be used only with Newspaper v12.7.1
Thank you!
Hello,
Before the update make sure you have a full backup, after the theme is updated please make sure that also the theme plugins are all updated. Make sure that the tagDiv Standard pack plugin will also be installed (this can be installed from Newspaper > plugins), when everything is updated, make sure that you clean all cache, object cache and purge CDN.
Thank you!
Hi,
For a second language the best way will be to use the WPML plugin – https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-theme-translations-together-wpml/ (tested with the theme), also there are other similar plugins that you can try, but WPML is the only one tested officially with our theme and we can help you wit it and settings.
Related to the theme update. If the changes have been made in the theme and plugins files, then you need to save all changes made and re-set them after the theme update. Also, there are some possibilities when the changes can be made using a child theme, but before doing any update, make sure you’ll have a full backup for the website and database.

Hi,
Can you please let me know some more details about this problem?
What pre-built website are you suing? Can you please let me know the updates you have made in the admin panel that are not reflecting on preview?
Thank you!

Hi!
I’m planning to update the Newspaper theme on my site, but I have a lot of custom code implemented. What’s the best and safest way to update the theme without breaking or losing these customizations?
Also, I want to add a second language version of the site. Right now the site is in Russian, and I’d like to manually add a Kazakh version of the homepage and selected posts using Polylang.
Are there any best practices I should follow to make sure everything works smoothly with the theme and doesn’t break anything?
I couldn’t find detailed guidance online for my specific case, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
I purchased this theme on June 10, 2025, at 11:47 PM. After saving updates in the admin panel, the changes aren’t appearing on the live preview. I’ve already cleared all caches, but the issue persists.
Can you please assist with this?
Thank you.
