Hi,
I stop using Newspaper to my principal website, many month ago and i think i delete everything.
But now i create copie of this website do do multilingual website, and i reinstall newspaper for this news website.
But i have many problem, like page without sidebar, categories with sidebar empty but all newspaper sidebar was deleted.
And if i change setting on theme panel, it dont take change.
And i have many categories and article, then i want to delete all for make clean installation and also clean my other website with unused folder.
I think it’s better if when someone delete plugin, all be deleted.
Then how can i clean all folder, those who stay after uninstall?
Thanks
Hi,
You can reinstall the theme at any time and activate it, that will not be a problem. Once purchased it can be used when needed.
The theme will appear in the WordPress themes folder, it can be deleted from there manually or from WordPress, for example

If you are referring to widget sidebars you can create them in a few places
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/sidebars-tutorial/
Add widgets in them and place them in pages by a widget sidebar element

Sidebars can be set per category in the theme panel category settings, the posts will inherit them (if a sidebar is not set per post)
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/primary-category/
You mention that settings in the theme panel are not taking effect on the frontend. Are the settings saved properly when you press the save button?

If they are then it could be a caching problem, try to clear the cache, also force refresh the page you are checking in in the browser (Ctrl+Shift+R).
If they aren’t saved properly, these would be some possible causes

If I misunderstood something please correct me.
Thanks
Hi Simion C,
Thanks but my question is “How to completely remove Newspaper?”
If i uninstall it, it still have folder on website and i want completely clean it for make proper install.
I need to know what file stay inside website after uninstall.
I delete caching, but i still have some page without sidebar and other problem.
If it’s secret file, perhap’s you can send me it by MP.
Or i’ll give you access and you’ll delete it by yourself.
What folder are you referring to exactly? Maybe I am not understanding correctly. You can simply delete the theme and it will be gone. Then set your sidebars by different means, another theme perhaps.
Yes it’s very strange thing, and you won’t give honest response.
I think i delete all newspaper file long time ago, but when i reinstall a fresh version on this theme, i can see many setting than i do long time ago and i can’t change themes.
And i delete caching many time but nothing change, i just can’t change setting.
Then i write here and yesterday the setting was unblocked and can be changed.
I think first than newspaper template it’s independent from you, but no, i understand than you can control some part of our website, and have like cache than you delete yesterday.
The theme will also save the theme panel settings and custom code added in the theme panel, in the website database. This is helpful when updating the theme, or deleting it then reinstalling at a later time.
Maybe that is what you are referring to. If you want to remove these as well you would have to clean the database and delete the unused the tables. There are plugins for this I believe, you could install one and give it a try. Be sure to make a database backup before doing it, in case something goes wrong.
Hi Simon,
It can be useful to know the name of this table.
I don’t find newspaper table.
And i have plugin to find unused database and he never find newspaper table.
It’s must be funny for you to not give complete response, make us losing time…
But you lose time also, it’s simple question for you i think, why you give response after first message, i don’t understand and will change my review in themeforest.
I just understand, i think i speak with Simon from Tagdiv, but Simon certainly can give response in my first message because he know the template, and it’s certainly an external service in India who give response here!
Hi,
The theme save its settings in database under td_011 option in wp_options table – https://www.screencast.com/t/QKdHvukM8dej
You can try to delete it manually from your server or you can try to use a wordpress function – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/delete_option
The theme settings are not removed from database when you delete the theme for few reasons and the main reason is:
– if you update the theme via wordpress you will switch to a different theme and then delete Newspaper theme in order to install the new version –
Hope it helps!
