Hi

There are a few thing which must be considered when you update from V4 at V6 of Newspaer theme.
Newspaper 6 is practically a new theme, the whole code was rewritten so make sure you made a clean update, meaning that we recommend that you delete the old version of the theme before uploading the new one, more details can be found in our update guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ Also the old custom modifications to the files or custom css will not work, you will have to adjust and re-add them.

1. I’ve test this and the changes work fine: http://screencast.com/t/LJHosDQCWO0Qhttp://screencast.com/t/eRCoQtYu Try do deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches and test again.

2. The page template are different then V4 so as the page title to be displayed you need to use pagebuilder + page title as page template: http://screencast.com/t/lMtXA7G3FJ5khttp://screencast.com/t/7aXoIu4wNpi

3. I test those changes on a page and works fine as can be seen here: http://screencast.com/t/5yAyAtLehttp://screencast.com/t/JVdrWZQG4

4. Try this custom css in theme panel > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/3n0UfYzdO7kc

.td-a-rec.td-a-rec-id-sidebar {
    padding-bottom: 20px;
}

5. Check this topic, Bogdan posted a solution here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-hide-more-from-author/

6. The theme uses p tag for subtitle, to change that you need to edit the file corresponding with the post template used, for post template 2 the file is single_template_2.php and change the tag like here: http://screencast.com/t/lWuYj4Ftm

Thanks!

When i am checking the page load time for this URL http://sep.wpdiv.com/download-source-admin-angular-js-html-template/, related post images and sidebar module images loads full size image which does leads to more loading time.

1. How can i set to load appropriate size image in related posts, modules and wherever they applicable?

2. What is the purpose of loading this image and i am unable to find the purpose of it in post pages?

Hi

1. That is a sprite image loaded by css, more details about the purpose of those images you can find here: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_image_sprites.asp and here is en example of their functionality with our theme: http://screencast.com/t/ivB2686o

2. Try this custom css in theme panel > custom css to change the review stars color: http://screencast.com/t/JL129IM0jiH

.td-icon-star-empty:before, .td-icon-star:before, .td-icon-star-half:before {
color: yellow;
}

Thanks!
