Hello!
We optimized the theme but not the demo content. We did not find it important because our clients don’t use the data from our demos, only the design that can be easily improved to the new rules of the page speed tools. If you do not use some plugins for optimization, you cannot fix it from any theme. You can check our changelog to see that we optimized the theme and added options to minify aggregate inline CSS and many options for delay. We optimized the composer to load only what’s needed and where it is needed. We also improve the font loading by introducing new options like global fonts to specify alternative font stacks for iOS and Android. We also specified that the support team does not cover page speed.
If you are disappointed with the latest update of the theme, using all the options for your website’s performance, then you can request a refund here: https://themeforest.net/refund_requests/new
Thank you!
Hello!
Check all these requirements for the theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
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!
It’s an old plugin that was no longer updated to be compatible with the new version of our plugins. It’s deprecated. Now, many other plugins, such as Autoptimize and WP Rocket, can be used and produce better results than TD Speed Booster.
Thank you!
Hello!
Ensure you have the latest updates on the theme, WordPress, and PHP versions.
Sometimes, the issue can be from a plugin conflict or a cache issue. That’s why we recommend first deactivating ALL plugins except tagDiv ones; if you are using a cache plugin, deactivate it, clear all cache (also from your browser), and see the results.
Thank you!
Hello,
The theme is compatible with version 8.2, but please use the latest theme, 12.6.8, and WordPress. Also, make sure that your plugins are also, updated and compatible with the PHP version 8.2
Thank you!
Hi there
The mega menu opens and lists the categories in desktop , but when I hold the mouse over the category, it does not show the subcategories and the pagination icons do not do anything when clicked. It seems that the mega menu does not load correctly and this problem appeared after the update. It is set to load optimized in the settings. bsiminzar.com
I am being told by my developer and server provider that Newspaper Theme is incompatible with PHP 8.2. We are currently running PHP 7.4 which is way outdated. What is the most updated PHP that is compatible with the Newspaper Theme?
Hello,
You need to update the code from your child theme; if you use the main theme, this warning should not be displayed.
Thank you!
When I make changes to a post and hit update the page goes blank. If I view it from another tab the update has been made. I try updating to the latest version 12.6.8 but still the same.
Here is what I get from the log
PHP Deprecated: strip_tags(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in …/wp-content/themes/Newspaper-child/loop-archive.php on line 99
Not exactly
For example, a row that has multiple blocks, images… and that row appears on multiple pages. If i edit something in that template, it will update on all the pages that are loading the template.
Hi,
I have a Newspaper 6 version (soon to be updated).
In the meantime, does anyone have an idea how to exclude an inline ad to appear in certain article?
I’m using the Theme Panel.
Newspaper version 6.4.
Thank you!
I would like to create a template consisting of some ad modules so i can update them without going 1 by 1, but i cannot find how to do it on the documentation.
Is it possible?
Thank you!
Hello! Have, since a couple of years, created the website thisispiraeus.gr using the Newspaper theme.
Believe that have done it using the WPBakery.
For the past 2-3 years, the homepage did have sereral issues, including code breaks, issues in the update etc.
And have made a major re-build of the homepage using TagDiv.
It seems that this is not working with Newspaper, as even though I ve tried multiple times, when I create the new page and set it as homepage 1) it does not renew. Meaning that homepage still showing the previous one 2) shows a message “The current content page hasn’t been created by TagDiv Composer!” and stays loading for ages.
Can you please help me in order to be able to finalise the renewing I am doing?
https://theindustry.biz, trying to upload my pages and I can’t get rid of this error ‘Error at zones” I’ve followed the instructions but this is a new install so the error appeared before I made any changes. Please advise asap. Don’t see how to upload the screenshot.
The availability of a DIY workaround solution is a great option; however, it would be even more beneficial if TagDiv considered officially adding Mastodon and other newer social networks to their list. Updating the list to include these while phasing out outdated platforms in a future update would improve usability, especially for users who aren’t developers and prefer ready-to-use features.
We have updated our website theme from 8.6 to 12.6 and i am trying to locate where the single post template cloud php files are located?
Are they available for edit or i can only edit via drag and drop the cloud template?
I have opened a help topic regarding the same problem.I have the same problem. I want you to solve this problem urgently with a new update!
Hello,
GoDaddy has confirmed that their Security Plugin is blocking this activity. They stated, “The reason why the tagDiv Composer is not working is due to the Managed WordPress hosting security setup – for security reasons, editing of the theme, plugins, and WordPress files is disabled on the Managed WordPress hosting… As this is a security issue, I believe that they would consider correcting this issue in the one of the future theme updates.”. Your guidance would be appreciated.
Hello!
There won’t be a new version of the child theme. You shouldn’t update it every time.
Thank you!
Thanks for your recommendation but I must use a child theme for some reason including adding AdSense code in <head> tag in the child theme. Please tell me how to update every time when available a new version of the child theme properly without losing data like AdSense code added in the child theme header.php. I know you will tell me to use the Sitekit plugin. But I don’t want to use that plugin
Hello,
1. The screenshot is not working.
A solution for sending a screenshot/video is this:
Download, capture, and send: https://www.techsmith.com/jing-tool.html
After making the screenshot, you will have a link; paste it here.
2. When the mobile theme plugin is used, you need to set for pages the page content in the mobile editor using only the options from that editor – https://i.imgur.com/p8EqE1b.png. also, there is an option to disable the mobile theme from a page/post – https://i.imgur.com/d3kTBRf.png. This option appears in the Gutenberg editor. After you disable the mobile theme on the page, you can use the responsive version.
Using our theme, you can choose from 3 mobile versions
-> mobile responsive => https://www.screencast.com/t/oJ2ShOp47
-> mobile theme plugin => https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
-> mobile page => https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-10-3-7-update-brings-customizable-and-fast-mobile-pages/ The option that you need to use.
Suppose you created the mobile pages with tagDiv Composer. In that case, when you install the Mobile Theme plugin, your pages will be overwritten by the plugin (the mobile theme comes with its templates for page, post, category, etc, so your current templates from the desktop theme will get converted to the mobile theme layout, the page content is made without builders in mobile editor => https://www.screencast.com/t/xbgZG8kH also, the options that are provided to edit the mobile theme version are limited (this keeps the things simple)).
This is a video about Responsive Newspaper Theme, AMP & Mobile Theme, Mobile Pages & Templates -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpGkOnJeNZY.
So, the mobile responsive is what you see when that you select the viewport on phone => https://www.screencast.com/t/matV17hH, so some settings may apply for each viewport(where is the border blue), and others are not(where the border is black).
The mobile page has the mobile templates from Cloud Library => https://www.screencast.com/t/YCcZ8rL8
The Mobile responsive version of the theme and the mobile page editor can be edit with tagDiv Composer, the mobile theme plugin cannot.
For example, you can have the mobile theme plugin activated and use the mobile page/mobile responsive version for the homepage/pages, but for the categories pages/404 page, you can’t use the mobile page/mobile responsive version if you have the mobile theme plugin activated.
So, if you want to design the pages with tagDiv Composer, you can use the mobile page or mobile responsive version.
Thank you!
Update: This only appears to happen with pricing tables. I have imported other templates as a test and it works fine, but every pricing table template I import is showing lots of raw code/shortcode settings.
Screenshot: https://photos.app.goo.gl/kGqwpXqhEVqjAfHe7
I imported a Pricing page Cloud Template and part of the template is displaying correctly but the raw code is showing for much of the content (example below). The monthly/yearly price switcher is showing as raw code and the actual prices are showing as raw code. Also, I can’t select the raw code in the Cloud Editor, only the sections that are displaying correctly.
All of my plugins are updated and the latest version of Newspaper is installed.
I tested several other pricing page imports and they all have the same code showing.

Hello!
If you will use in the future cloud templates (that we recommend), then you have many customization options in the TagDiv Composer. We wanted to create the easiest platform, so you can build your website without knowing any code and have the possibility to customize every field from any demo. That’s why you do not need a child theme with cloud templates. But you can use the child theme you have with the default templates.
The update does not overwrite the child theme. An issue with that could be whether your child’s theme version is compatible with the new version of our theme.
Thank you!
I have a 4 files in my child theme
function.php
style.php
header.php
footer.php
I have added google adsense code in header.php file in my child theme, Now how will i update the whole child theme keeping my data? As you have said I need to update the main theme and child theme for best practice.
