Hi,
Please read this topic -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/wpml-theme-translate-logo/
Hope this will help you.
Thank you.
Hi,
I’m using the Newspaper theme for a french website (RSS Circus [fr]) wich I begin to transform in a bilingual version (french/english) using the last version of WPML.
But I don’t understand how to put a différent Logo on the english version! Can you explain how to do that?
Is it a tweak in the Newspaper Theme Panel or has it something to do with the WPML media management system?
Thanks!
I would help you with those database errors, but I am no expert in the matter of databases. The theme has these requirements
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
For WPML – https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/
If those are met the theme and plugins should work properly. Maybe check if these are met, increase the WP-memory and other parameters mentioned in the guide, test with no plugins active except theme plugins and WPML to see if the same database errors appear.
Also maybe attempt to repair the database (make backup before)

Hi,
The theme does not have options to translate the menu or provide multiple versions of it in different languages. The theme only has an option to translate the strings used by it throughout the website
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-loading-translations/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-customize-a-translation/
In order to achieve something like that you will have to use a translation plugin, such as WPML or qTranslate for example. Or make tests with other plugins as well.
Thanks
WPML Support corrected a missing table in the database but the site is still slow.
I’m seeing the following items repeating in the wp-content/error_log:

Hi,
Should be no problems, most issues that have been reported in the theme were fixed, the others will be fixed. Since the initial 9.2 theme update when support for WordPress 5 was implemented in the theme, there were a couple of additional updates fixing various issues. WordPress also released some minor updates.
Theme changelog here (bottom of the page)
– https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609
Some recommend to not update WordPress for the time being, others have updated
– https://yoast.com/should-you-update-to-wordpress-5-0/
– https://wpml.org/2018/12/wait-before-updating-to-wordpress-5-0/
It all depends whether you require the new features immediately or not
– https://kinsta.com/blog/wordpress-5-0/
You can update in any order, this is a theme update guide
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thanks
Thanks for this. I really wish that the theme becomes fully compatible with WPML as the way it is I would say that it is not and this has caused a huge issue with our development. I have also gotten in touch with the WPML team on this.
Hi,
Maybe try and check what are these scripts and CSS files that slow the website speed, I browsed the website for a while, seems fast at the time of checking, page size is normal
– http://prntscr.com/lwtvv1
This would be the theme requirements guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
If there are multiple other plugins installed the parameters mentioned in the guide should be set higher if possible (I see WPML is used).
We haven’t made any testing with Varnish and the theme, we only tested with WP Super Cache up to this point. Also maybe tweak the cache settings if possible, check with online testing tools and try to make more improvements.
There will be optimizations made by us in the theme, in coming updates. These should provide a noticeable improvement in the matter of speed.
For the count to work with caching try this setting – https://forum.tagdiv.com/ajax-view-count/

Hello Calin
Thanks a lot for your reply. I understand that the cloud library is a new feature and is not yet compatible with the WPML plugin.
May I please ask my question in a different way?
We have to create custom category pages other than the existing templates that are available. We did that using the cloud library but since they cannot be translated properly we cannot do that.
Is it possible to create a custom category page using the tagdiv composer? Or could we install visual builder and use that to edit the category in the edit category section?
We really need to translate the categories with or without using the cloud library?
Could you please suggest a work around so that I may just edit the category template for the translation, even if that has to be coded manually?
I thank you a lot for this in advance.
Regards
Ashutosh
Thank you for your reply. Once I can confirm that the database issue is resolved with my hosting company I will provide login info. I was able to update the theme to the latest version which did not resolve the problem. The Theme, along with WPML and all other plugins are working… but the dashboard and site are loading slowly.
Hi,
Using the theme translations together with WPML -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-theme-translations-together-wpml/
So the compatible with WPML is referent to the theme it self, tagDiv Cloud Library is a free plugin that come with the theme to help you to have more design and control to you website, unfortunately for the moment this plugin is not in full compatibility with the WPML, we work on this to, but for the moment I can’t say for sure when will be released an update to fix this problem.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thank you for your understanding.
Hello Calin
It says that Newspaper is compatible with WPML which is the reason why we used the theme in the first place. I think it would make sense to let buyers know that this is the case because otherwise it is dishonesty 🙁
Is there any timeline when this would be done?
Regards
Ashutosh
Hi,
Sorry, but for the moment the tagDiv Cloud Library is not compatible with WPML plugin.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thank you for your understanding.
Hello 🙂
We are using the Newspaper theme along with compatible WPML plugin for translation.
We created a category template using cloud library in our primary language and assigned it to the category in the theme settings easily by going to per category settings and assigning the template in the Cloud library dropdown where we could see all the templates that had been created.
We also created a translation of the cloud template but when we go to the theme settings for the 2nd language we cannot find any templates in the drop down list 🙁
Could you please advice?
Regards
Ashutosh
After the last update (9.2) my site has been down and/or loading extremely slowly (2 minutes per page). The database is showing constant theme related errors now (see below). The site is using minimal server resources and had been working well/fast for the past several months. No server changes have been made. Any assistance would be appreciated.
The site uses WPML but I have just tested with only a minimal set of plugins and it still runs extremely slowly.
Active Plugins
– Calendarize it! for WordPress
– Really Simple SSL
– tagDiv Composer

Hi,
Some users recommend to test the new WordPress update (WP 5) on a local copy of the website, or testing environment, not the live website. This would be safer indeed.
Others will not make the update for the time being and prefer to monitor the developing situation, for example
– https://yoast.com/should-you-update-to-wordpress-5-0/
– https://wpml.org/2018/12/wait-before-updating-to-wordpress-5-0/
If you find any problems with the Newspaper 9.2 and WP 5, please let as know them.
Thanks

Hi,
So the footer page resets itself? I would suggest that you check the theme requirements to begin with
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
These would be recommended settings for the theme and theme plugins to function correctly, they should be set higher if possible.
WPML has these minimum requirements as well – https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/
These accumulated, and with other plugins as well, may need higher requirements. Try to increase all the parameters mentioned in the guide to higher values, set the desired page again, then monitor the situation.
Also maybe there could be problems with the database, the theme panel settings are saved in the website database. Maybe your hosting provider can investigate if there are any issues with the database.
Hi,
What shortcodes are you referring to? Updating the theme and WordPress should have no effect on shortcode functionality in general.

Hi Simion,
thank you for your answer. I have the same problem with the footer.
I have spoken with wpml and found a solution, but sometimes the theme panel lost the setting for the footer page. I have set the page for the footer, and after some time, the setting disappear and return to “no page”.
Hi,
I have some problems with WPML.
I have solved with them the problem with the footer which wasn’t translated.
I have now a problems with cloud templates. I use them for the blog posts. If you go here https://blog.lovemaremma.com/it/visitare-la-maremma-toscana/ you can see that the sidebar it is not translated in italian. I have activated the WPML tranlsation also on cloud templates, but I can modify them in italian because the theme return an error (2 models).
How can I do that?
Thank you.
Hi,
When WordPress will receive the new update, a theme update will be released. We made tests on our side with the new editor, issues could happen that are not caused by the theme but by WordPress itself.
As many recommend in multiple topics online, it would be better to first test this not in the live site, but in a development copy of the website if possible.
Some examples here
– https://yoast.com/should-you-update-to-wordpress-5-0/
– https://wpml.org/2018/12/wait-before-updating-to-wordpress-5-0/
Thanks
Thank you. Working now
Problem was with WPML plugin
Hello Calin
Updated the theme to the latest version 9.1 and also updated the composer and cloud library plugins. Everything else was set as in the requirement guide.
That did not solve the problem. On a hunch I tried disabling the plugins again and found out that the issue was because of the WPML plugin.
Since the Newspaper theme is compatible with WPML I will let the plugin authors know of this. Was able to create pages and categories after disabling the plugin so this issue is solved for now 🙂
Thanks for all you do.

Hi,
1. For the footer text the steps are mentioned in this similar topic
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/newsmag-widgets-not-working-with-translations-wpml/
2. There was a problem with selecting the language for specific widgets to appear, it was solved a few updates ago I believe. The problem was that when setting a language the option was resetting to all languages.
In the latest theme version however this works properly. Maybe you are using an older theme version.
3. You can create a different page for each language, each with the content you want
– https://www.screencast.com/t/tBjxdAK4yLx
For example I have this page in a language – https://www.screencast.com/t/wUVMxwx6qlV
Clicking on the translate option will open a new empty page which you can build with the composer
– https://www.screencast.com/t/yWKrq5fBxTI
Thanks
