Hi,
But the update has been released
– https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-8-8-update-what-s-new/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
Now the post templates can be created with the tagDiv composer. There is also a library of post templates that can be imported. These can be modified as you want if needed and applied to posts.
Thanks
Hi Simion C.
I’ve understood the fact that CPTs can’t be filtered by custom taxonomies in blocks or grids. That said, is there an existing hook or anything that could allow me to add some custom code (without altering future updates) to add filters by custom taxonomies on CPTs in grids/blocks?
Best regards
I just notices that Social Counteris not counting followers after 4.4 update. I’m not sure when it stopped but it was very close to latest update. Besides strange thing happend to widgets because SC dissapeared from all my custom widgets.
PS. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram ID’s are correct
Hello alkomco,
You can update the theme without any problem because the Newspaper 8.8 is the following theme version after 8.7.5.
Thanks for your understanding!
Since newspaper 8 update the child theme conflicts with these plugins. Switching to the original theme the site displays correctly. Please advise what I should do.
The following plugins were disabled because they are incompatible with this version of Newspaper:
• tagDiv Composer
• tagDiv Social Counter
• tagDiv AMP
• tagDiv Mobile Theme
@hhealth Indeed, the new plugin may not work properly with an older theme, you could consider updating the theme. Check the new features added in 8.8 in the changelog (bottom of the page)
– https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609
Also note that since 8.7.5 the theme is GDPR compliant.
Update guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Hi,
You seem to be using theme version 8.1.1. There would be no chance that the social counter plugin will work with the changes made by most social networks.
Please check the changelog to see all the fixes and new features of the theme through updates (bottom of the page) since 8.1.1 until latest 8.8
– https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609
You should update the theme and theme plugins to keep up to date
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Older versions of the theme and plugins may also not work properly if you only update WordPress and not the theme and plugins.
Thanks
Hi,
There are settings for most things, so if a setting is created for a customization, there would be no need to make it custom. For creating CSS code there is a guide you can read
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/create-custom-code-using-the-browsers-inspector/
This is useful when for example there is no setting for a modification you want to make, or the setting is general and you want something more specific.
I would mention that on contrary you should not worry yourself with the child theme from the beginning. Until you get more familiarized with the actual theme and it’s capabilities and structure there would be no reason to have one.
If in the future you should require one or we recommend you to create one for a specific reason, you can use it then.
Child themes require maintenance as well, so you will have to monitor theme updates and changelogs to keep it up to date.
Thanks
Hello escol,
Very important is to use the latest version of the plugins which come bundled with the theme core files and from now on, for every theme install you should be careful to update the plugins. You will get a notification in the panel if you do not follow the right way, related versions of plugins.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
You can simply update normally, no need for a step by step update. Update by FTP and replace the old theme with the new one
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Be sure to make a backup before, just to be safe. Also review the theme requirements
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
And check the theme changelog (bottom of the page)
– https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609
Thanks
Hi,
There should be a notification in the theme system status panel when an update is available, also you should receive an email.
These would be the theme update methods and useful advice before making an update
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
The most recommended and reliable update method would be by FTP.
Thanks
Hi,
First please check if the composer has been updated automatically
– https://www.screencast.com/t/KrNMbjVQr
Delete it and reinstall it from here, if an older build is used
– https://www.screencast.com/t/nSP4S0JV3
Also try increasing the WP-memory to a more higher value if possible, that may not be enough
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Then activate the tagDiv composer again. Let us know the results of this.
Thanks
Any update sir
Hi, I’m Diego from Argentina. I apologize because my English is bad. First of all I would like to thank you and congratulate you for this WordPress theme. It is really amazing and very intuitive to use it.
I need help. I would like to add the new features that you are incorporating in each update, but I am having problems. I made the update through the Envato Market Plug-In according to this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
… but I absolutely lost EVERYTHING I had customized in the “Newspaper” theme. I had to load a backup of the site and go back. No update was made.
I read that it is necessary to add a “child” of the theme but I do not know how to do it, and I do not know how to copy everything I did in the main theme and clone it into the child. Can you help me? Can I give you my username and password of the WP and the cPanel?
I have little knowledge about web design and I have a online newspaper here in Argentina. I don’t want to lose all the work that I had made and has to design everything again in a “child” theme.
Thanks for your time. I am at your disposal.
Hi,
I missed the update of Newspaper theme Version 8.7.5, can I jump directly to 8.8, or can you send me a update for 8.7.5.
Thanks
everything is working perfectly, after the update.
Thank you.
I have the no updates pending on newspaper theme or any plug ins. I can not get my instagram pictures to show, only a clickable link to my instagram. Also only my youtube is showing up a number on my social counter. all links work just no numbers (followers)
Thank you for your answer. I think I understand this a bit better now.
As I’m all new to this I don’t quite know yet if I will need to make .css changes or not. But I imagine it would be good to have the opportunity.
Is it possible to start using the normal theme, and then just add the child theme later if I need to make this kind of changes?
One other thing I don’t quite understand from the sources: How does the connection between the parent theme and the child theme work; how does the child theme “know” that the parent theme is updated? Are both themes active at the same time? So that you never really “update” the child theme, only the parent theme?
Some of the disadvantages mentioned in the articles include the time needed to learn the parent theme, and the importance of choosing a good parent theme. I guess this disadvantage and risk is eliminated by using the included parent theme?
Sorry if the answers to these questions are “obvious” for more experienced users. I get the impression that child themes are not really for beginners, but at the same time that they are something that is smart to use from the beginning:)
URGENT
Simion, the update has broken my landing page. All posts blocks are down now. I really need a fast solution here.
Thanks

I ran the standard update and everything is now in pieces. Really need an urgent fix
Hello sir. I have updated the theme and used one of the best single post structure from cloud library. Everything is ok and amazing. But when I have published a new content and went for social sharing, it gives wrong link structure. It shows the same structure for all content which is that one when i created a single post name after importing from cloud.
is it correct manual for update of old versions to the new one?
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
is it possible to run an update from old version 7.4 to latest ver.8.8 with help of 1 start?
Or
should I start updates from 7.4 —> 7.5 —> 7.6 —- > step by step and etc…. —-> 8.8 ?
Do you have step by step manual\guide for update process?
Hi Catalin, thank you for your response, all plugins which are not tagdiv, were deactivated, the theme has been updated, but the problem still persists
Hello! I thought that by installing the theme and when a new release is out there i will get an update notification to my wordpress panel. I guess that’s not the case correct? What is the best way i can update the theme without going in so much trouble? uploading via ftp etc? Thanks
