After an update to Newspaper 9.7 in April 2019, we lost content, then activated TagDiv composer, which restored everything. Shortly afterward, we lost jpeg images on android mobile – iPhone mobile, PC and iMac images are intact. There is a pending update to WP Bakery which our former web developer told us never to update. Could that be the problem? Any ideas on how to restore android mobile jpeg images? Thanks!
Good evening, i still got the same problem. I’ve updated the theme till the last version, and the tagDiv Composer plugin is activated and updated too. But install demo “Home Decor” still inactive. What am i supposed to do to install it on my site?
Hello,
I recently did the newspaper theme update and updated all the plugins as well, and I notice the homepage of my site, and only the homepage, loads blank on the desktop version. However, all the other pages load fine and the homepage loads find on the mobile version. I appreciate it if you can help me with the issue.

Thank you
Thanks, but perhaps you should update your instructions for WordPress theme updates. The instructions below are wrong. You first have to activate a different theme before you can upload the new theme or theme updates. Re the blank page issue, I contacted my host provider and they fixed it. The theme was using too much RAM. The theme that you mention to re-install, what version is it? If it is the same version, I’m not going to bother to re=install.
Step 1 – First, navigate to Appearance > Themes
Step 2 – Click Install Themes and click the Upload button.
Step 3 – Now, browse to find the Newspaper.zip file on your computer and click Install Now
Step 4 – Activate the newly installed theme by going to Appearance > Themes and clicking the Activate button.
Step 5 – After you activate the Newspaper Theme, you will see a notification message to enable the required plugins in the Plugins section of your dashboard. The tagDiv Composer frontend page builder comes with the Newspaper Theme.
Step 6 – Click on Install Button on each plugin to start installing them. After you’ve installed them, Activate them. Now, you are all set!
In February 2018, Google updated its article schema document for AMP articles to require larger images in markup. Previously, the minimum requirement was 696 pixels wide and 300,000 pixels in total, but now it is 1,200 pixels wide and 800,000 pixels in total.
It appears amp pages on Newspaper use the max size of 696 pixels still for featured images, even if the original image is 1200px+.
Is there any way to change this by editing the mobile theme or amp plugin?
We are showing in many featured snippets without an image, where competitors with proper image sizes have images shown in their snippets.
Many thanks in advance
Hi,
I’m trying to update theme from 9.6.1 to 9.7.2 and the result is a blank page with only the top header bar.
Is this update possible? or is necessary update to 9.7 first?
If this is the case, is there a 9.7 download available?
I’ve followed the tutorials and updated by FTP, deleting de theme folder first, and updating de plugins next.
The live update delivers same result.
I’ve reverted to 9.6.1 and everything is working again.
Thanks for your help
After the wonderful swell update Envato made you do created all sorts of hurt for myself. Even after going through the Update thread.
Cant update plugins, cant activate plugins. In my humble, Envato fixed something that wasnt broken. Your theme was perfect.
Hi,
Please update the theme to the latest version of it (9.7.2) and check the results.
Thank you!
Hi,
Please check this topic about Newspaper v9.7 ->https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/important-new-update-newspaper-9-7/
Thank you for understanding!
Hi,
The message you get is quite common with WordPress. In most cases it can be easily fixed.
For example – https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-link-you-followed-has-expired/
In that case the max upload size was limited, increasing it solved the problem. Usually this is the main cause.
Check this guide carefully and make modifications if needed
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
If everything is set properly there should be no problem. Contact your hosting provider if needed and ask them to make changes as the guide suggests.
You can also install the theme by FTP, that is not difficult to do and it’s very useful to know how to use FTP. If our guide is not detailed enough check some more online

Thanks for your understanding!
I am successfully install theme update. In computer vision is ok but mobile vision is not ok. Mobile site not ok. Please Visit “www.buyorrent.biz” my website from mobile.
Hello !
Unfortunately at the moment this option is not available. Sorry for the inconvenience. Maybe with the future updates we will be able to offer this option too.
Thank you !
This is not WP best practices and all my other Themes from themeforest have also been updated Envato compliant with no issues to the Child Theme.
This seriously inhibits my ability to customise my site if I update to 9.7.1 If I do not update and keep my customised functions I risk security and future functionality and customisation from the Theme authors.

Thank you for reply. I am kind of afraid to update the theme because of it may cause some problems. Is there any documantation to how to update the theme? Also, when I update the theme do I need to install the all plugins again?
Thank you
For anyone else looking for the same function, and I have seen quite a few people ask for this, here is how I solved it.
It is a workaround, and if someone can offer an improvement on this solution, please paste your code below.
Copy td_data_source.php from the parent theme and paste to:
/wp-content/themes/Newspaper-child/includes/wp_booster/td_data_source.php
I decided I am probably never going to use the Sort Alphabetically option for my td composer widgets. So, I updated the args array for Sort Alphabetical to suit my purposes.
Comment out the normal alphabetical order and use the new code below.
// case ‘alphabetical_order’:
// $wp_query_args[‘orderby’] = ‘title’;
// $wp_query_args[‘order’] = ‘ASC’;
// break;
case ‘alphabetical_order’: //Limit to last 10 days
$wp_query_args[‘date_query’] = array(
‘after’ => date(‘Y-m-d’, strtotime(‘-10 days’))
);
break;
@ the theme developers: Please can this can go on the wishlist and be included in a future version.
The amount of days should be a selectable field in the widget option.
Hi,
Pages will not be affected by updating the theme. Pages, posts, theme panel settings, code entered in the theme panel, they are saved in the database. However it is always recommended to make a backup before doing it, just to be safe.
Here is a guide you can follow – https://tagdiv.com/update-newspaper-theme/
Thanks
Hi,
I suppose that you have automatically updated the theme via Envato Market plugin, right? In our latest update, all of the required plugins will come offline and you need to manually enable them from the Theme panel because this is the main mandatory requirements imposed by Envato Market Policy.
The Newspaper theme update brings a change for the customers that use WP Bakery Page Builder with our Theme. When you’ll be updating to the Newspaper 9.7.2 version, you’ll need to activate the tagDiv Composer to keep the Newspaper theme functionality you’ve previously used. Otherwise, you will have basic WordPress functionality, complying with Envato WordPress Requirements – https://help.author.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000472383-WordPress-Theme-Requirements
Please note that activating the tagDiv Composer doesn’t mean that you are required to use our custom page builder on your website. You can use the WP Bakery page builder as you did before the update.
We recommended you to do not use the tagDiv Composer and WP Bakery page builders on the same page, because you cannot edit with WP Baker blocks and shortcodes created with tagDiv Composer or vice-versa.
Please make a backup for your website before updating. If you need help, please don’t hesitate to send us an email with all the details at contact@tagdiv.com.
Thank you for understanding!
Hi,
You are using an older theme version, with the old AMP plugin, since theme update 9.6 this plugin is not provided anymore – http://prntscr.com/niojkx
The header when using the old AMP plugin will display the logo set in the theme panel
– http://prntscr.com/niokz7
There will be no menu displayed in this case.
Now the official AMP plugin can be used, together with the mobile theme plugin
– https://tagdiv.com/amp-newspaper-theme/
Let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks
When I load a translation into my language, the changes can not be saved, the theme is thinking endlessly…
Is everything updated, which may be making it impossible to change the language?
Thank you
Hi,
Please update the theme via FTP way according to our documentation from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you!
Hi,
1. We are aware of this issue, it will be fixed. If the setting is made in a page built with WPBakery it will not work, it will work if the page is built with the tagDiv composer. This also has options to hide specific rows/columns/elements per device.
There are some other issues which may happen when both composers are active, they will all be fixed as soon as possible. This will happen by theme updates.
2. This is most unusual, the homepage uses the mobile theme while the rest of the website appears to not use it. If the mobile theme is active the whole website should use it, depends on this setting however – http://prntscr.com/nio8v8 (first two will present the mobile theme at all times, while the last only for AMP).
Such issues could happen due to caching plugins or maybe minification/compression or optimization plugins. Try if possible and if you use such plugins, to deactivate them temporarily and check if this solves it.
3. The AMP URL will be with /?amp, this should be valid when testing. Seems to be valid when I test a post – http://prntscr.com/nioalr
Thanks
I am confused about the new Envato-compliant version of Newspaper 9.7.2 and the use of child themes.
I have modified module 8 and the corresponding CSS in the version prior to you releasing this update. Where does my modified module now sit in terms if a child theme, as the related block/module includes has moved to a “legacy” folder within wp-content>plugins etc.
This seems to me that I cannot create a child and my customised block will be overwritten each time there is an update.
Is this the case? If so, how do you recommend getting around this?
Thanks
Best
Gary
