Hi,
We haven’t taken the time to add an answer this topic for a while but we still have a problem.
Images still don’t load correctly since we have updated the theme last June. The problem is that we have to choose “media file” when we upload an image so that the lightbox works properly. It could be a solution, if we didn’t have thousands of old posts that don’t work correctly since the update, because uploaded images are not set with the “media file” property, but “Attachment page”. With this option, the image doesn’t show correctly, as you can see on this example : https://nofrag.com/2019/06/18/138137/
The image is visible, as you’ve written in your first reply, but if you click on the image, you’ll see the lightbox embed with your theme failing to show the image in fullscreen, displaying a message “The image could not be loaded”. As a workaround, we use another lightbox plugin (simple lightbox), which shows correctly the image (in “media file” or “attachment page” mode) but as I’ve written, it’s just a workaround: your lightbox is still called by the user click and he will see the error message before the image.
I’ve seen that click on an image calls a JS script which use “magnific popup” script (https://github.com/dimsemenov/Magnific-Popup) in your td composer plugin, and I’ve found no option to disable this script. We have already installed the last release of this plugin but it doesn’t fix our problem.
We would like to use your lightbox instead of using a third party plugin, or completely disable your lightbox if you’re not planning to fix it. Could you help us ?
Update:
Thanks to his suggestion (send me by mail), I was able to understand what the bug created.
The error was caused by the “Insert post ads” plugin.
Plugin disabled and now everything seems to be going well.
Thanks again for the suggestion.
I wish you a good job and congratulations on what you do.
Ever since around v 9.7.3, the featured image for certain posts (template 7) do not display. I assumed it was a bug and restored back for each of your subsequent updates. However, the issue was never resolved.
After updating to the most recent version, I did a comparison of the CSS classes for the image that is in the DOM, but not displaying. The new code only includes the class “td-backstretch” while the old code included the classes “td-backstretch td-stretch-height td-animation-stack-type0-2”
On the upgraded site, when I add the additional classes in the developer console, the missing images load.
There are other less noticeable differences. The header style is not the same as on pages.
These issues affect all post content types.
What have I done or not done to resolve this? Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Hello @irfanjs
I have just updated the guide. You can use code in the tutorial.
Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.
Thank you for your understanding.
I understand that updating a theme can be difficult, but should it necessitate rebuilding the website?
We used your theme and page builder in confidence that moving forward TagDiv would continue to support those tools. We complained about speed, but were told that it was just us. We used the tools you provided, which you apparently now want us to stop using.
Now we (and many others) are faced with the following (and please correct me if I am wrong):
1) If we have used TagDiv Composer to build our site, we will have to rebuild any pages, headers or templates under the new theme because the short codes are put right into the text. For many, that is essentially rebuilding their entire website!
2) If we do not want to see all of the TadDiv short codes from Composer, we must use the Standard Plugin, which essentially returns the site to 9.8 compatibility and the same old CPU/speed problems.
3) I cannot see (and I have looked) how upgrading to 10 from 9.8 would benefit someone currently using your theme? There is no comparison on your website to show the benefits of the upgrade.There is nothing to recommend updating except the dubious honor of rebuilding your website.
Are there major security patches?
Is it needed for 5.3 compatibility?
Will 9.8 continue to receive security/other patches?
4) TagDiv Newspaper 9 is not a fast theme, there is unneeded JS running creating CPU cycles where there doesn’t need to be. The code just isn’t clean. This may be due to legacy code but I’ve had conversations with TagDiv before this related to speed and was always assured that the theme was fast, it was just my site was slower. Now I will quote the truth from your website:
Deactivate Standard Pack for blazing fast-websites. To gain page loading speed for your website, you’ll need to deactivate the Standard Pack plugin. This step will separate the templates (pages, singles, headers, footer) you’ve created or imported from the tagDiv Cloud Library from the ones built inside the Newspaper theme panel. All of the default templates from the theme and some of the elements from the tagDiv Composer will be disabled by deactivating the Standard Pack.
5) So, by running the standard pack we are negating any reason to update. The 9 theme was causing websites to be slower and by deactivating all of those features you spent so much time creating and selling to us in 9, we essentially slowed our sites down. The solution? Upgrade to 10 and turn off the Standard Pack Plugin. Which brings up the following…
4) Deactivating the Standard Pack plugin will cause any site that has modified any part of the Newspaper theme using the TagDiv Composer to show up as short codes and break the site completely.
I will again quote from your site:
For example, your website uses one of the default headers from the theme panel, and you deactivate the Standard Pack, your header will be displayed as a series of text and symbols on the frontend.
Guys, you screwed up. It’s pretty obvious to those of us who used your theme and if you can’t see it then that’s on you, and your inability to remain customer focused and customer centric.
• In 9 you introduced a bunch of cool toys, showed us how to use them and set us loose.
• These toys introduced a bunch of extra code that slowly but surely slowed our sites and caused excessive CPU cycles on our servers. (for those of us who pay for SPU usage, this not only slows our sites but eats into our pocketbooks)
• In 10 you back tracked and told us to turn OFF the cool toys you gave us to make the site run faster. Ah, but if you do that then your site will break, affording you the “opportunity” to rebuild your site.
Unless you can be upfront with us and admit you made a mistake and are now trying to fix it the reasons to continue using Newspaper become nearly non-existent.
(and yes, to all of you out there who know “all of the things”, these conclusions were discovered using a test site which has been wiped and copied several times to come to the place we are today)
I’m an independent and my time is money. I can’t charge my clients for upgrading their websites can I now? When the recommendation to go with one of the most popular themes in use came from me?
As a test, I’m going to delete Newspaper and scrub it’s existence from one site. Then install a flexible, fast page-builder friendly theme and rebuild that client’s website to see what the difference is and how long it takes. I’m going to guess between 30 – 40 hours of my time. I guess we’ll see what the end result is…
Where do I send the bill? (rhetorical question I know)
I have the same problem. Again fucking fail update. The tagDiv team is getting worse and worse with each update! No solution for it or what? I have hunderts of pages, do I need to edit them manually now ? You sucks!
The system does not detect Any Cache Plugin 🙂
WP Super Cache was used When I start using WordPress.
They are Good.
But, Nowadays… I’m Working in heavy sites…
Clients are Using Premium Plugins.
I optimized the newspaper to at its best using those plugins.
But still, when clients checking the dashboard, it shows a warning.
I hope next update will fix this 🙂
Why would you remove the ability to set the style within a normal widget without having to use Tagdiv Composer? This functionality was there and now has been removed. Really frustrating and may I add that you should make this very clear in the documentation since it doesn’t seem to have been updated.
Hello.

PS: I don’t understand why you chnage your own code on the theme update! It is not the first time. And it breaks looks on all theme site where is setup. 🙁
I updated to Newspaper X no problem last week
I was having to work through changing blocks since the update etc so that Standard Pack plugin could be deactivated etc like many others
Aside from this – this morning I tried to update to Newspaper 10.1 – using the dashboard method which I always use.
1. Activate another theme
2. Delete Newspaper
3. Upload 10.1 Newspaper.zip
The site opened but all the TagDiv plugins failed ‘ajax error’ on the opening TagDiv theme page – I then lost dashboard access and the front end has lots of code like the image attached before reaching the site –
When you say in the forum update advice ‘delete plugins’ – is there another step now? Like below? Or is the Dashboard advice still the same
1. Activate another theme
1a. DELETE TD PLUGINS from dashboard?
2. Delete Newspaper
3. Upload 10.1 Newspaper.zip
Site restored to Version 10
But how do I update to 10.1 without the same issue repeating?
Is it different from before – do we delete plugins AND theme or just theme
Documentation should be clearer and there wouldn’t be so many confused users!
I can’t find the error in that. can anyone help on this?
Hello, after update, 10.1, Header template start having problems, not every menu item works. Homepage (Početna) is not working, and last item Kalendar is not working, other categories are working, but when on hover show like it is not working. If I remove Header template and go with default everything works fine, but I would like to keep my custom header.
On mobile everything works fine.

Wtf? Why add this extra layer of complexity and it’s not even clear as to what’s going on.
So, I’m order to update to v10 I do this:
1. Update the theme
2. Install standard pack
3. Install other TagDiv plugins.
4. Uninstall the standard pack
the article doesn’t say anything about the other plugins so I’m assuming I do that after the standard pack install. And then I uninstall the stater pack? Am I reading this right?
…
ello !
Please make sure that you do the procedure properly according to our documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
For Yoast: In the new update there have been inserted new blocks in gutenberg and due to those improvements you have to refresh your post because now Yoast doesn’t work in real time. So you can do this by updating and saving your posts.
The page editor has been fixed in the Newspaper 10.1
The best way to update the Newspaper Theme is to delete the current Newspaper Theme version and TagDiv Plugins and after that you can install the new version.
You can find 9.8 version here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/action-required-please-read-how-to-update-to-the-newspaper-theme-v-10/
Also please read my last reply about update on this post: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/update-to-newspaper-10/
Overwriting files will cause conflicts.
Thank you !
Hello after the 10.1 update the “theme panel” is no longer clickable. I tried to uninstall Cloud Library and reinstall it but nothing. I write here because on the forum I can’t find the link where to renew “only the assistance”. The site is in a promotional phase, it would be perfect if we solved it in any way.

Hello Vlad,
I deactivated all plugins, except “tagDiv Composer” and “tagDiv Cloud Library”.
I installed Newspaper 10.1 and after the update I deleted and reinstalled both mentioned plugins to avoid conflicts.
The problem still occurs. It is definitely not a conflict with a plugin, since all are disabled.
Whats next?
I can’t get my previous mobile view after theme update. Please help me how can I get demo mobile view after theme update? Please see this image https://ibb.co/6gs0XXR https://ibb.co/M2LHksr I want this design https://ibb.co/NCzhRgq So please help me. how can i do this. please help me

Hello !
From Newspaper 10 to 10.1 you can follow the simple upload tutorial here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ This should work without any problems.
Thank you !
Hi,
I’ve noted this as a suggestion for the coming updates.
Thank you!
Hi,
Indeed in Newspaper X there are some conflicts between these builders because a part from tagDiv Composer was moved in standard pack -> https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-update-standard-pack-or-tagdiv-cloud-templates/ we recommend to check on sub-domain or localhost this new update, also maybe you try the Newspaper X without standard pack elements and WPBakery builder ( for example PRO demos ) to see the new flexibility and speed of Newspaper X.
Thank you for your understanding!
