Hello,
Following-up on the posts above, it appears the recent theme update has overridden the changes I made to the plugin for moving the tags to the tope of posts.
Where can I locate the loop-single-x.php file to make this change?
It has been solved. The theme has been updated recently. It is normal after I updated it to the latest version
Hi Calin,
You said:
…if you rebuild your website only with cloud templates then you can deactivate the standard package, then you should be able to see an improvement…
This is precisely the problem we are talking about here. We have to rebuild our sites to get the speed improvements from v10.
There should have been a automated way to migrate from using the v9 templates and the standard pack plugin to using the new v10 cloud templates designed into the upgrade process.
The burden of moving away from the slow v9 code has been transferred onto your customers. It would have been better if the slow code from v9 was fixed instead of being shoved into a plugin and forgotten.
TagDiv has posted the migration process in this blog post for those interested to read it. It clearly shows the elements affected and describes the labor intensive process to migrate from a site that relies on the standard pack.
Hi Calin,
I updated the theme and plugins but still have the issue. I have narrowed it down to a conflict with Disqus, a common comment plugin. Outside of disabling it, which we would REALLY like to avoid, is there any other solution?
Hi,
Sorry, unfortunately we do not have a roadmap for the future updates, we have only a changelog, you can check it here down in page -> https://themeforest.net/item/newsmag-news-magazine-newspaper/9512331
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi,
Please make sure that all the settings are like in our requirements, please follow the guide carefully
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
and please increase all requirements that are lower, and follow all steps.
Please make sure that you do not have a plugin conflict with untested plugins, please deactivate all non theme/tested plugins, also if you are using child theme, clear all cache and try again.
If there is still a problem, please make a full backup to your website and make a theme update to Newspaper 10.3
Thank you!
Hi,
Our theme have an option for displaying author at the bottom of the posts for the standard posts templates -> https://i.imgur.com/J5aFg7P.png also if you have set a single post template from tagDiv Cloud Library, then you can edit it using tagDiv Composer and add the element -> https://i.imgur.com/90ugocv.jpg -> https://i.imgur.com/j4nojIj.png
If there is still a problem, and this is not cause by some untested plugin, you can send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login, as well as cPanel or FTP if possible. We will take a look. Include a link to this topic in the email.
Thank you!

I am not sure if the a plugin is causing this do you have a new version update of News 9 perhaps this may help?
Thanks.

Hi,
If you want to can try the the update on a staging website were to set a copy of your actual website and updated it via FTP, if there are some problems, let us know and we’ll try to solved theme as soon as possible!
Thank you!
You guys brought a fine feature but single post template bulk update do not apply. I did not even try the bulk category template feature..which I believe is also not working. ( Update: I need to go to each post, in the end of the post, you need to select, post template, FROM PANEL. Than it applies. But again, we have to go each single post. simply the feature do not work.)
Also, the issue with -WPML string translation resetting itself after changing the theme panel language- still continues. Here’s Simion’s last reply..
Hi,
I have recreated the issue on my end. For example I have translated the header template and the footer page fields – https://prnt.sc/qtc1hn – https://prnt.sc/qtchl8 – https://prnt.sc/qtchqp And then I did what you mentioned, changed the language in the theme panel and saved. The strings disappeared – https://prnt.sc/qtcicr If I changed the language back, and set the header template and footer page again, they reappeared – https://prnt.sc/qtcito and the translations were still valid, just that the strings disappeared.
I can’t say if this is supposed to happen however (most likely not), or if it happened up to this point, or if it started happening after the recent updates. I will make a note of it and pass it along to the developer team, they will investigate. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and sorry for any inconvenience. Let me know if you notice anything else, or if you have more questions.
This is not related to the cloud library issue mentioned in the topic, that was a different issue. That issue caused cloud library templates to not import correctly or at all when WPML was active, which is now fixed.
Thank you!

Hi,
We have a guide for the theme update -> https://tagdiv.com/update-newspaper-theme/ but from Newspaper 9 to 10 were made some changes, so the best practices will be to make the update on a copy of your website (on sub-domain or localhost), in this way you’ll be able to prevent the problems, also I personally recommend to use the FTP method, get the new version package, unzip it, copy the Newspaper.zip in your install, delete the old theme and unzip the new one, after that go in WordPress > Newspaper> Welcome and install the theme plugins from there. -> https://i.imgur.com/mqSlHmj.png
Hope this will help you!
Thank you!

Let me know if there are still some problems.
Let me know the results!

Hi,

The file are wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/common/wp_booster/td_module_single_base.php -> https://i.imgur.com/EMWC74l.png add “|| is_preview()” -> https://i.imgur.com/78beFgC.png
wp-content/plugins/td-cloud-library/state/single/tdb_state_single.php

Thank you for your understanding!
Is it possible to create an exact theme by using newspaper files because we want to uninstall all newspaper supported plugins? We are facing a slow site speed issue continuously after updates. If you can tell us how to copy all theme files (Ex. Header.php, Style.css, footer.php, page.php, index.php, etc.) and then paste them to in a zip file for installation. We want to use the exact functionality and UI that we used in http://www.highonstudy.com website.
I am currently running Newspaper 10.3 on my website which is hosted by GoDaddy. My current PHP version is 7.2.26, and my WordPress version is 5.3.2. The built-in WordPress site health checker is prompting me to update to PHP 7.3. Is the Newspaper theme and it’s associated plug-ins compatible with PHP 7.3? Thanks.
I’m having an issue with fonts on my Newspaper installation after the most recent update.
My article titles on my pages / blog listings are now using a different font to the rest of the site. It was working ok before 10.3, but since updating to 10.3, its now using a Times New Roman looking font.
Please help!
Hi,
I updated Newspaper today to the latest version. Unfortunately, I’m having a lot of problems with editing a page or Cloud Template with the composer. I can create a template but as soon as I go back to it I get error messages like: “Error at rows: 4(models) : 12(dom). The model does not match the content” or “Error at zones: 5(models) : 6(dom)”.
I’ve tried deactivating all non-tagDiv plugins, I’ve switched to the default theme instead of my child theme, I’ve cleared all cache and it still doesn’t work.
I’ve had many problems with the composer previously, and have often had to deactivate all WPML plugins before for it to work, but now I don’t know what else to do.
I meet all the requirements.
Do you have any idea how I can solve this?
Best wishes,
Ida
So when I updated my clients to v10 and activated the Standard Pack plugin, I did not notice anything beneficial about the update. The site still sucking down extra CPU cycles via AJAX commands, many of which seem to be some interaction with Advanced Ads (which can be CPU heavy in itself). CPU is the single largest expense per month for my clients. And before they had a ssytem that could handle the CPU load of Newspaper, was the single largest point of failure during high load periods. Constant 404 and 503 errors and very slow page performance when there wasn’t an error (I’m talking 13-20 second load times for a page that loads in 3.5 seconds normally)
And yes I know that TagDiv has no control over Advanced Ads, but that plugin does not exhibit this behavior with other simpler “builder themes. I can’t pin the issue on TagDiv, but I can say that there is an interaction between the theme and the plugin that negatively affects server performance.
I know that some people wondered how I was getting along with my site redesign… I decided to use a “builder” theme and a different page builder (which I purchased out of my funds without charging my client for it). It’s not 100% yet and it’s taking more time than I initially thought it would. I keep finding little bits of Newspaper code is still lingering.
So here’s my advice, the only reasons I can think of for upgrading to 10 are:
• a critical security fix
(if this exists, TagDiv has not publicly released the vulnerability)
• a WP upgrade that breaks Newspaper 9, which is a likely at some point.
If either of those events occur, then you my recommendation would be to rebuild your site. If you stick with Newspaper at that point or not is a decision for each site owner/developer to answer. Also, always test on a staging site, never live.
My clients just want a little peace and quiet for a while. I know they’d like to have faster, slimmer sites. But for now, they had to go with a high end, reliably fast hosting provider. Do they want an even faster site that uses less CPU, sure, but that requires them to pay me to rebuild/re-develop their site and comes with all of the risks of new problems. (CPU costs alone are $300 – $500 USD/month for one of my clients)
And to be clear, THAT is my biggest disappointment here. TagDiv took code that they appear to have stopped development on and stuck it into a plugin that v9 sites must use if they upgrade.
Evidence that the Standard Pack plugin is ONLY required for compatibility with v9 sites that use the TagDiv page builder
AND
the same problems that existed in v9 are present in v10 with the Standard Pack
AND
the Standard Pack hasn’t been upgraded since it was released.
That’s just not a business practice that I can recommend or support in any way. I don’t think they are evil, I just think they got in over their heads with their code and are trying to find a way out. But in the process they are doing a disservice to their clients that bought into their page builder.
Lesson learned: Do not rely on your theme builder to supply a page builder and custom code. Just get the best dang page builder you can find and then choose a theme that it works well with and doesn’t try to get too fancy. There are a number of other coders out there who supply good plugins that do what the Standard Pack does who will continue to support their work.
I guess if you’re looking for a ready made solution you can just switch out colors and images, then a theme like Newspaper is fine.
I have moved on.
Hello,
After the introduction of version 10, the top menu disappeared. We were hosting the login / register button in the top menu and it was necessary to have it there. Is there a way to bring it back? Is there anything else we can do? I can’t find anything in theme options.
Thank you

Hi. I’m using a news paper theme.
I want to know how to update the News Paper theme.
And before I update the newspaper theme, I need to back up my old data, databases, existing settings for the theme, and so on, but I don’t know how to do it.
Tell me how to do it. Thank you.
Hi. I am a user who is using the newspaper theme.
It’s been about two months since I used the newspaper theme, and I found out that I was using the parent theme, not the child theme.
What could happen if I didn’t use Child theme?
And if I have any problems with my theme, tell me how to activate the children theme at the same time while maintaining the newspaper settings I’ve made.
And let me know if there’s a way to back up the theme settings.
And I’d like to update the newspaper theme, but I can’t figure out what to do.
I don’t know how. I just know I need to download from envato. Tell me in detail how to update.
thanks for your help
please contact me ASAP. Thanks.
