Hello!
You can only revert the update, and it will work as it worked before update.
Thank you for understanding!
Hello, do you have any plans to add dark mode?
Also, I don’t see the current theme update change log.
Hi Bettina,
Thank you for your response.
After updating the Newspaper theme from version 12.6.8 to 12.6.9, our development team has identified a significant increase in memory consumption.
Key Observations:
– Before the update: The site performed well with a 512MB memory limit.
– After updating to 12.6.9: we had to increase the memory limit to 2GB, forcing us to increase the memory limit. However, our hosting provider does not recommend this change.
– Impact: Page load times have doubled, and excessive database queries (such as get_pages_options_array) appear to be contributing to the issue.
Live Comparison:
– Site with Newspaper 12.6.9 (Experiencing Issues): https://lngqa.wpengine.com/
– Live site running Newspaper 12.6.8 (Working Fine): https://www.lubesngreases.com/
Also please check the below screenshots of https://lngqa.wpengine.com/ site for before and after theme upgrade.
Before screenshot: https://prnt.sc/76MPjOxvUNNw
After screenshot: https://prnt.sc/Z0T_GDZLL5hV
Since this issue is directly tied to the latest theme update, can you please:
1. Confirm whether changes in version 12.6.9 could be causing increased memory usage?
2. Provide guidance on resolving excessive memory consumption and database queries?
3. Let us know if a fix or patch is planned?
We appreciate your prompt assistance in resolving this. Let us know if you need further details.
Thank you!
Hi Bettina,
I’ve removed all the plugins, but unfortunately that doesn’t fix the problem.
It’s very strange, it’s only on mobile on Safari and Chrome that the problem appears
Site: https://saintmalowithlove.com
I’ve changed my theme and updated the plugins, but nothing solves the problem.
Could this be due to the cloud templates, I can’t choose a theme for mobile, is that normal?

Any ideas? Thanks!
Hello!
I’m not sure what you mean exactly. Do you mean copy content for the mobile pages? https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-10-3-7-update-brings-customizable-and-fast-mobile-pages/

Hello!
I’ve requested an option to choose the depth level to be added in the next update.
Thank you for understanding!
Hello!
Yes. You are right! We will add this option in the next update.
Thank you for understanding!
Hello!
Please edit the page with the tagdiv Composer and add a Flex Block with the filter Search: Current Search and check if it works. I’ve tested the latest update, and it seems to work well, especially the posts loop and flex block shortcodes.
You can also set in the post type: post.
Thank you!
Hello!
The newest theme update doesn’t include any feature to decrease your page speed.
Check all these requirements for the theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Limit the number of backups: https://app.screencast.com/M5Wco6Td6nymr
Please note that page speed is not covered by the support team: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-support/
I recommend you use fewer features on the page so there will also be fewer requests.
Improving page speed in WordPress is crucial for providing a better user experience and optimizing your website for search engine rankings. Here are some tips to help you enhance your WordPress site’s page speed:
Optimize Images: Compress images before uploading them to your WordPress site. You can use plugins like WP Smush or EWWW Image Optimizer to automatically optimize images without losing quality.
Utilize Caching: Implement caching to reduce server load and speed up page loading times. WordPress caching plugins like WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache can generate static HTML files of your pages to serve users instead of dynamically generating them each time.
Minify CSS and JavaScript: Minify your CSS and JavaScript files to remove unnecessary characters and reduce file sizes. This can be done manually or through plugins like Autoptimize or W3 Total Cache.
Enable GZIP Compression: Enable GZIP compression on your server to reduce the size of files sent from your server to users’ browsers. Most hosting providers offer GZIP compression, but you can also enable it through plugins like WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache.
Optimize Database: Regularly clean up and optimize your WordPress database to remove unnecessary data and improve performance. You can use plugins like WP-Optimize to automate this process.
Limit External Requests: Minimize the number of external requests your website makes by reducing the use of external scripts and widgets. Each external request adds overhead to your page’s loading time.
Enable Lazy Loading: Implement lazy loading for images, videos, and iframes so that they are only loaded when they are visible on the user’s screen. This can significantly reduce initial page loading times.
Optimize Server Response Time: Choose a reliable hosting provider with fast server response times. Consider using a content delivery network (CDN) to serve your content from servers closer to your users.
Regularly Update Plugins and Themes: Keep your WordPress core, plugins, and themes updated to the latest versions to ensure compatibility with the latest performance optimizations and security patches.
Ads can significantly impact the speed of your WordPress website since they often involve loading external resources and scripts. You can try to limit the number of ads, optimize ad sizes and formats, and implement lazy loading on your ads.
By following these tips, you can significantly improve the page speed of your WordPress website, leading to better user engagement, higher search engine rankings, and overall improved performance.
Thank you!
Hello,
We recently updated our website to theme version 12.6.9 along with its required plugins. After the update, we observed a significant decline in performance:
– Page Load Time: The site’s loading time has doubled.
– PHP Memory Usage: Increased from 45-50MB to over 530MB.
– Database Queries: Certain functions like ‘get_pages_options_array’ appear to be rendering all posts, leading to slow and duplicate queries.
Could you please investigate these issues in this theme version and provide guidance on resolving them?
Thank you!
Hello!
We have 3 options available for mobile versions that you can use:
1. Responsive version: A responsive version of your website looks similar to the desktop version. TagDiv Composer is used to edit the page. Click on the mobile viewport: https://www.screencast.com/t/XDQJedlggSB. You can see your mobile version there 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 designs for pages, posts, categories, etc., so your current templates from the desktop theme will get converted to the mobile theme layout. Please see https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/ and https://forum.tagdiv.com/mobile-theme-introduction/ for more information.
A full explanation is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpGkOnJeNZY
If you need to use mobile version 1 or 2, then you need to uninstall the Mobile Theme plugin and AMP.
Thank you!
Hey, I want to use Slide module to create Slider of CPT testimonials. I created testimonials CPT using ACF. However, I am not able to update the template to display it as in Momentum pro.
Is there any way we can create this as slider?
Hello,
The license is for a lifetime and you will have access to updates. The only thing that will expire is your support.
Also, you can use a license key for one single product, but if you want to move the theme to another website or change domain/migrate you’ll need to reset the license key from that website: https://www.screencast.com/t/Zt12bpyX and remove the theme (delete), in this way the license will be available for the new website and you can use the theme without any problems.
According to Envato license terms, a theme can be used for a single end product (website):
– https://themeforest.net/licenses/standard
– https://themeforest.net/licenses/terms/regular
Have a great day!

Hi tagDiv Support Team,
I’m having an issue where the <h1> tag around the logo isn’t being removed, even after enabling “Disable H1 on logo” in both the frontend (tagDiv Composer) and backend (Theme Panel). I’m running Newspaper version 12, updated from version 8, and working in a test environment to redesign my site. My goal is to fix a “Multiple H1” issue flagged by Screaming Frog, where the logo has an empty <h1> alongside the page title’s <h1>.
Here’s what I’ve tried:
In tagDiv Composer (Frontend):
I imported a new header from Cloud Library.
Edited the “Header Logo” block, found “Disable H1 on logo” (a checkbox), checked it (enabled it), and saved the template.
Assigned the new header to the homepage in Theme Panel > Header > Main Menu.
In Theme Panel (Backend):
Went to Theme Panel > Header > Logo.
Found “Disable H1 on logo” (another checkbox), checked it (enabled it), and saved settings.
Cache Clearing:
Cleared W3 Total Cache (“Empty All Caches”).
Cleared Chrome browser cache and tested in incognito mode.
Despite these steps, the <h1> tag remains in the source code. Here’s an example of what I see when inspecting the page in Chrome:
html
<h1><span class=”tdb-logo-img-wrap”>
</span></h1>
This empty <h1> causes a “Multiple H1” issue, as my page titles (e.g., from “Single Post Title”) also use <h1>.
What could be overriding the “Disable H1 on logo” setting? Is this a known issue after updating from version 8 to 12? Could old templates or settings from version 8 be interfering? Any help would be appreciated!
As of a day ago, I suddenly found I couldn’t change the sidebar on posts.
In the theme panel within categories, there’s no longer an option to set a sidebar for each category – although all the sidebars are there in widgets.
When I post, I can set a category, but the drop down for custom sidebar is set to default and won’t change
This was working until a day or two ago.
I’ve tried rolling back to 12.6.8 which took a while, threw up lots of errors but eventually took. That changed nothing. I am now unable to upgrade back to 12.6.9. I get all the right on0-screen messages, but it just bounces back to the updates page and nothing changes.
It feels like my theme has become corrupt.
There have been no new plugins installed for months

Hi Bettina,
That will work to an extent, but then other text in articles would not be font size 17. That would then mean manually changing the font size for all other paragraphs.
Post content font size should be the default, then if a custom font size is set in typography settings, this should override the default.
This is how it used to be, as our articles all rendered correctly prior to the latest update.
Hello Mark!
Yes, we updated the shortcode in this way in the new version. I’ll add the request to add an option to disable it.
Thank you!
Hi Bettina,
Thank you for continuing to look into this.
That’s so strange. Maybe helpful if I provide a live example. On this page – https://tinyurl.com/ya2whvx2 – you’ll notice a line of text that reads ‘How we test and review products’
Prior to the update, this text was small. Do you have any idea what else might have caused the change?
