Hi,
In posts as well, post templates can be built with the composer and the cloud library plugin. So the rows containing the post content and sidebar can be stretched, you can set custom widths, just like in pages.
Please check the guide carefully – https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
Also experiment with the cloud single templates here, preview and edit one to see what the possibilities are
– https://affiliate.tagdiv.com/#/load/Single
Regarding reviews, only posts can have reviews. Use a cloud post template, set review elements from the composer which can be saved as shown. You will still have to add the actual review criteria in the post edit screen – https://forum.tagdiv.com/reviews-2/
Maybe this will change in the future so one can make the full review directly in the composer, I can’t say for sure at the moment.
Regarding the gutter, note that split rows have a column gap setting, so for example if the post content is in one column and the sidebar in another, that setting can be used to customize the space between them – http://prntscr.com/mhrv83
The featured image element can have a custom width as well – http://prntscr.com/mhrzm7
You can design the post template in any way you want. As a note, be sure to check how the template will look on other devices – http://prntscr.com/mhrzzi
About the ads, I made some inquiries and this will be looked over as soon as possible. It is true that no changes have been made or settings added for quite a while in this matter, this will change.
A header builder is now available in update 9.5, along the infinite load for posts which is a much requested feature.
In the footer you can display pages, here are some footer designs made by us
– https://affiliate.tagdiv.com/#/load/Footers
So a builder would not be so necessary when the footer can be designed with the composer.
There are many plans to add new setting, but these take time to create and test. Gradually there will be more. Also we have plans to optimize the theme for increased performance overall, we have to be careful what is implemented in the theme having this in mind.
Let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks
The 9.5 update was released yesterday. So the option I was referring to is now available when using a cloud header template – http://prntscr.com/mhrnnq – http://prntscr.com/mhro25
There will be documentation added in this matter as soon as possible. Let me know if you have more questions or you need help with anything.
what happens after you update the theme
I am on the verge of punting this theme from my site as getting it to pagespeed etc that is mentioned on themeforest is an absolute pain especially if you run a non compatible plugin. Don’t get me wrong I love this theme and the updates recently have been great but I no longer want to manually have to min files, make css,js files async etc etc,with this in mind please please please can we have a tool that imports/replaces adrotator as I really don’t want to go through 800+ posts to change a shortcode…
thank you in advance and keep up the good work
same, wont work this update!!
Hey, guys! Greetings from Bulgaria!
Yesterday I updated Newspaper to 9.5, but I noticed that galleries are no longer working as expected. The grid shows the pictures, but nothing happens, when I click on an image, it doesn’t show up in full screen.
Please, advise on this.
You often only hear from users when things go wrong! I’m here to say thank you for a great upgrade package. Version 9.5 and all plugins updated perfectly directly from our dashboard.
I’m really excited to use this big release.
Congratulations to coders, testers, and the Tagdiv support team
Thanks!
Richard

The autoloading feature is now available in the Newspaper V9.5 latest update. But what the hell is that? There is no easily visible option to turn on the feature in theme panel or post editor.
Pathetic.
The way I update my blog
1. Uploding via FTP by Overwrite all theme file
2. After uploding finish, I go to Plugin page, as seen all TD plugins automaticly disable
3. I delete all disable TD plugins
4. Go to Newspaper > Plugins. Re-install and active all TD plugins, finish
I have no problem with this method all the time.
Hi, thanks for the update.. that was amazing having control to design my own header. But, updating to 9.5 slow down my blog even without using Header Template.
Based on GT Metrix, my blog full loaded time was 26 second and total page size increasing to 100%, even number of request was 135. That was the worst score I ever get.
I aware that, the problem comes from Header Template, because the theme fail to optimize images in Mega Menu and Header Categories List (shows backgrounds). I tried to regenerate Thumbnail, but it doesn’t work.
Disable Header Template and use usual Header doesn’t help.. the image still looking for optimize
here is my blog link https://irfan.id/
Thanks,
OK, I’m calm! I figured out that I had to update the plugins – all seems OK now.
Sorry for the ALARM!

Yes, plugin is important to be updated. I always change to twenty eleven theme > delete newspaper theme > deactivate & delete all tagdiv plugin > upload new version of newspaper theme & install > upload & install the tagdiv plugin > clear all cache and done.
That my method if I update newspaper theme on my website and don’t see any error after I update with that method.
Hope this help
So, I updated my Newspaper Theme to the 9.5 version using the FTP method with Filezilla and it totally changed the layout of the entire site. Plus it added code and it now looks nothing like it did before.
See it here: https://blog.truthentics.com/
I had a nice layout before with the posts in one column and the ads on the other. Plus I had the nice large post highlighted at the top showing the large feature images.
Now nothing like it.
I even re-installed the backup version and that’s not even the same.
How horrible!
Please advise.

Updated evrything once again with ftp. Same result – blank pages.
Hello….. I came across that Newspaper9 have added few new features on 9.5 version. But after updated successfully I m not able to locate those new features added. Can u let me know where I can find below mentioned features.
1. new: Introducing the Header Builder. Now you have the power to create completely different headers for various pages, sticky headers on desktop and mobile, but also special headers for small screen devices.
2. new: The Header Manager. This feature allows you to have a different header on templates (think of it as your Headers Assign System :p)
3. new: Auto Loading feature for articles – When visitors reach the end of the post, another article is loaded. You can easily choose which one is displayed next.
4. new: We’ve added a beautiful set of icons in Newspaper Theme font. They are very useful for crafting your logos.

1. I’ve updated theme through Envato plugin. So after that I still need to update plugins through FTP?
2. I can’t find anything about child theme changes in the chanelog (https://tagdiv.com/newspaper/). Where can I find info on how to “re-apply changes” to child theme?
Log into your ThemeForest account, in your Downloads tab look for the Newspaper theme.
https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609
Also read this:
How to update the theme – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
The developers recommend to update the theme via FTP.
Read carefully this manual: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
The developers recommend to update the theme via FTP.
Your content will not be lost, but please note that if you have modifications to the theme code they will be lost. You have to reapply them after the update is over.
Hello team
Nice update as always, I make some test on localhost before I apply the update on my live website. Everything is awesome except I can’t delete any row on tagdiv composer and cloud template.
https://www.screencast.com/t/dBVDgnZAV
You see the delete option in row is gone.
And %%page%% of snippet Yoast Code still doesn’t work on Homepage using loop post element on pagination.
https://www.screencast.com/t/ngZnE1rYtO
https://www.screencast.com/t/0J4nl05OsCy
I can’t use pagebuilder on homepage because this issue will cause duplicate title tag & duplicate meta description on google and affect my site ranking. On my live website, I deactivate a static page and %%page%% of snippet Yoast Code is work perfectly on homepage pagination. This is the example screenshot:
https://www.screencast.com/t/bKN5KMlSL4t

Please fix this issue.
Thank you

Hi
after update to ver.9.5 of Newspaper I get this error
wp_booster error:
td_api_base::get_key : a component with the ID: tdm_top_bar_template_1 Key: file is not set.
/var/www/vhosts/blucode.com/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_api.php
This is the condition of my site now: https://blucode.com/
Any solution?
Thank you for the support
a) update plugins at same time as theme; they do not update automatically
b) READ the changelog to see what changed prior to update — so, for example if it says ‘child theme changed’ — you may need to re-apply changes to child theme (why I don’t use them)
c) choose whether to update AFTER you look into what changed
ALWAYS MAKE DBASE BACKUP VIA HOSTING CONSOLE PRIOR TO ANY THEME UPDATE.
ALWAYS MAKE FTP BACKUP PRIOR TO ANY MAJOR THEME UPDATE.
Did you update the plugins include with theme update also?
These are found in the ‘allfiles’ download, in the /plugins/ folder.
So, if using td-composer plugin, you need to update that along with the theme update.
Hi,
I use Newspaper v. 9.2.2 and I still don’t have Speed Booster option on my tagDiv Plugins tab.
Also, every time I update the theme, I need to update the tagDiv plugins apart. I remember that you said it was fixed a couple of updates ago, but still doesn’t work for me.
Can you guys help me with that?
Thanks!
Hello. Pretty new at using this wonderful, feature-packed theme.
Just wondering how to update the theme when I get an email notification that a new version is available?
Also, when you do perform an update, does any content you already have in place get messed up?
Thanks,
Rich
Hi! I’ve found this post and it’s sort of what I need as well.
Actually, I wish I could set the order of my articles on the mega menu just like we do now on other sections of newspaper theme (where we can filter by article number, newest, etc)
I’ll leave it as a suggestion for future updates in Newspaper. Thanks!
