Hello,
You need to update the theme, you should download the latest version of it from the Theme Forest account and download it.
I recommend that you update the theme manually https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ via FTP/cPanel/File Manager, also if possible disable extra plugins during the theme update to avoid any problems that may arise and make sure that you have activated the tagDiv Standard pack plugin to keep the website’s look. You can try to update the theme on a staging website.
After you update the theme, you need to update the theme plugins too.
In the worst cases, the settings in the theme panel may be lost (there have been isolated cases), in these cases, after the theme plugins that were previously used are activated, you will have to use a backup for the theme panel -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-export-theme-settings/
You could consider reinstalling the WordPress version, and checking for this plugin wp-zexit.php. It might be wise to inspect via FTP if it doesn’t appear in the WordPress -> Plugins. Additionally, using Wordfence to scan the website and remove unknown users would be prudent.
Change admin passwords and delete admin accounts you are not familiar with;
– Delete any weird/unknown plugins;
– Delete the weird/unknown themes;
– Clean unfamiliar Theme Panel injected code (example – https://i.imgur.com/4q70kCv.png);
– Clean WordPress files (example – https://i.imgur.com/stJCqiK.png)
Please block /wp-json/tdw/save_css
If an attacker wants to target this URL /wp-json/tdw/save_css they can do so. Even if the website uses a different theme, the attacker can still try that URL. We could add an option to be able to enable/disable the Live CSS, it will be considered. But for now in order to remove it this can only be done with a modification to the composer plugin. I think that all that removing it requires is to comment this line of code – https://prnt.sc/RtwvL5Nc4ikR -> https://prnt.sc/ymZmhdUfp57U But as I mentioned, the attacker can still try to access the URL.
If you want, you can contact our custom work team here, and they can help you update the theme safely: https://tagdiv.com/premium-customization-services/
Thank you!

Recently had a hacker scare, trying to bring my plugins up to code. I understand composer is vulnerable at least through 3.5(?) — i dont want to update the site as I dont want to break it, but do want to update the plugin. Is this possible? and how do I only update the plugin?
Thank you!
Hi karemfouad, I moved this topic from Newsmag to Newspaper because it appears that the theme you are using is Newspaper.
1. The tagDiv Optin builder is already activated and updated – https://i.imgur.com/ostWkQA.png there is only a problem with the plugin version, the version should be 1.6.1 and because it is 1.6,1 the update button is all the time display.
2. Since you are using the Newspaper theme you’ll need to add the ads using tagDiv Composer on pages and cloud templates, please check our guide from here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/article-ads/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/ads-adsense-overview/ -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biTpVVlr8j8
3. If you want to hide it only on mobile please use tagDiv Composer, edit the single post template and select the author box, the hide it on each view port. There is an option that displays hidden elements, like in your screenshot. Please activate it from the website manager https://i.imgur.com/4sPQZ2U.png – https://prnt.sc/yhtJPDWeozed It may be needed to refresh the page in the composer after activating it. Please try it. Also, the hide option should be set on each viewport – https://i.imgur.com/p5dMrnt.png
4. To have the same content on mobile as on desktop then please disable the tagDiv Mobile theme plugin.
Thank you!
Update – I am wrong, it doesn’t check the parent category at all, it just checks the tag, is it possible to make it use both 🙂
Hello, I have a heart problem. When I update this add-on Deactivate, it does not update and the site is affected. Please solve it.
2 – When I put ads in articles, they do not appear on the computer.
3 – How do I hide the author’s data on the mobile, like the image you see?
4 – How do I display the communication icons as they appear on the computer?

Hi, folks
thought I’d share the current simple hacks I do for the Newsmag 5x CSS file in the theme root; which must be done after each theme update manually.
STEP 1 FONTS:
convert all default and Google fonts to “browser native stack” – this sets the default fonts to the optimium use of browser/OS native fonts.
Search and replace both of these in CSS file:
font-family: sans-serif;
font-family: 'Open Sans', arial, sans-serif;/ replace with:
font-family: "Segoe UI",Frutiger,"Frutiger Linotype","Helvetica Neue",-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Dejavu Sans",Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,Arial,arial,sans-serif;
Save copy, rename as style-fontmod.css for backup.
STEP 2 – MINIFY CSS:
Next, copy all the text in the doc and place into a CSS minifier; I use this one from TopTal (free):
https://www.toptal.com/developers/cssminifier
Open your style-fontmod.css file, and copy all text below the
Text Domain: Newsmag
Tags:black, white, one-column, two-columns, fixed-layout
*/(( you must keep all the text at top of original doc identifying theme and theme version, or it won’t work!! ))
then paste in the text from the minified version on TopTal.
Resave doc as style-min.css
Rename your ORIGINAL unedited style.css to bak-style.css
make copy of style-min.css and rename style.css
replace in theme folder on your live site, and double check all works.
Not only will you remove any font loading at all (unless you setup custom fonts in theme panel; if you did, just change all theme panel font settings to ‘default’); but, you will go from about 170k to 97k CSS. Notable size savings even before gzip on server.
Hope that helps somebody. This is one of the simplest optimization tricks for the theme.
(1) not loading external fonts of any kind; all browser/app native
(2) cutting the CSS file by 80%
Enjoy! 🙂
Hello,
I created an “Mobile Template”, but when I save their is no update on my phone.
I tried lot of times, with cache cleaning, my problem started after installed AMP plugin, I delete it, but nothing change
I am using the Row CSS panel to add the background color:
I have also tried the row setting that you have shown:
When I make the changes in the panel, they work: The background color extends the entire width of the screen. But when I save the changes and the page refreshes, the background color doesn’t extend to the full width of the screen again. Even though I open the panel and see that the settings haven’t changed. It’s like the CSS is corrupted or something.
Here’s the screenshot that I tried to show in the previous post that shows how the background color isn’t extending the full width.
I should mention that I haven’t had a problem with this before. It only started happening with my recent updates to that page. Is it possible that the CSS file has become corrupted in some way?

Hey there, any update on this?
Hi,
I want to partially lock content. I read already this page: https://forum.tagdiv.com/lockers/
And I found out that I don’t have the Gutenberg block in the posts edit.
I think I have the gutenberg blocks installed as I can find them in WP/Appearence/Widgets.
How to install Gutenberg blocks in the Posts? I remember I had them two years ago when I installed the theme.. but then one day it disapeared. I was thinking that in one of your theme updates you removed it.
So how to have it in the posts edit page pls?
Thank you.

Ok fix my problems one by one.
Checkout this website when i right click on feature image it does not showing option for open image in new tab like an image.
check: https://share.zight.com/NQuAy6WB
Why this website feature image are not react like an image. not any “open in new tab option” are showing?
Does this website places feature image from different option In the theme?
When I open my blog post and right click on image its shows like an image.
check: https://share.zight.com/nOu7qjLb
Both websites are using same theme and template than whats the difference?
I want to know from which option that user placed feature image in their blog post? can you tell me? they are also using same theme and template.
I placed feature image like this: https://share.zight.com/JruEK06p
Hi,
Checkout this website when i right click on feature image it does not showing option for open image in new tab like an image check: https://share.zight.com/NQuAy6WB
When I open my blog post and right click on image its shows like an image check: https://share.zight.com/nOu7qjLb
Both websites are using same theme and template than whats the difference?
Also when I set feature image there is no option to set full size check: https://share.zight.com/8LuNv866
Also one more thing when I check my blog post speed on https://pagespeed.web.dev/ its show 89 on mobile if I remove feature image from the post. when I enable feature on top after heading (h1) its show only 40 in mobile. how can decrease that speed for just 1 image? and how can I resolve that speed issue without removing feature image after h1 in the post?
Yup I received an update from your team.
Thanks for your information!
I have been trying to create a mobile page for my site and it does not load and it is in loading for hours when i see mobile version it is showing old ones only.
Hello,
In the single post template the image is full size, you need to edit the page/templates and select the blocks. For block 1 you can set the image height and width -> https://i.imgur.com/MJY85wY.jpeg
You can not add it in the footer, only if you create a mobile template -> https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-10-3-7-update-brings-customizable-and-fast-mobile-pages
To avoid adding the block in the footer section, you can reorder the columns, as I said above.
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/
Our developers are aware of this issue and try to synthesize the composer, which is big, and fix the major problems of the theme and speed.
I recommend you use fewer features on the page, so the requests will be less as well.
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,
Did you update the theme, WordPress, or PHP, or make some changes?

I recently updated newspaper theme, after installing the new version of WP 6.6.1. Now my site is completely broke, and don’t know where to start.
The Jetpack vault backup, doesn’t work automatically and i don’t know what to do.
I updated the Composer, but wasn’t able to update the cloud library plugin, as it says that is already on the server a folder with same name, but i can’t find the Plugin in the WP Section, to try a delete and reinstallation as suggested by the settings page of Newspaper them.
please help!
