Hello,
Understand this:
I first Installed newspaper theme and then under Template Settings > blog and post template I select M6 style. Now after that I installed the News Magazine demo. The homepage view as mentioned in the News Magazine demo isn’t coming up. How can I get that?

Hi,

That setting will apply the module you choose, if you use the default blog homepage and not a static page.

– If you installed the demo with content, this will set the static homepage of the demo as front page.
– If you did not install the demo with content, then your homepage would be the default blog page with the module and sidebar you choose in the theme panel.

What exactly do you want to do? Use the default blog page or have a static page? I will try to help you.

Hi,

Please provide a link to the website so we can take a look at the homepage you use. There are 2 choices, as mentioned below
Either use the Blog page – https://www.screencast.com/t/Reqe4jeSq5Ak
Or a static page you build with the tagDiv composer

Hello,

I am trying to install City News without Demo on YogeshKhetani.com blog. I applied that. Still not working. As described in the tutorial and videos, it’s not just Click and Install the demos.

I also checked Settings > WP Reading option, this shows up:

What do I need to select?

This tutorial isn’t helpful either: https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/

I need a solution on why Demos aren’t working! I just want the homepage of any Demos.

Is there something which I need to do in the Template Settings under Theme Panel?

Hi,

What exactly do you mean you are trying? Are there problems or errors when you install the demo you want? Please mention more details for a better understanding. You simply have to choose a demo and install it, as the guide says.

The demos can be installed with or without content
https://www.screencast.com/t/tEquKCqP

– If you install a demo with content, the homepage will be provided.

– If you install a demo without content the homepage will not be provided.

But you can copy it from the theme files. For example the City News demo homepage code is here
https://www.screencast.com/t/BNbWTCEvn
Copy that in a new page, configure it as you want, save it and set it as homepage.
Note that each demo has custom design (CSS), this will only be imported if you install the demo.

Hello,

I was trying to install the City News without Demo but wanted City News Homepage settings. I believe that your settings aren’t suitable for any established WordPress blogs because if anyone wants homepage of any demo, he has to install the demi with content which creates additional posts and settings. At the end, users have to manually delete the sample content which was added by Newspaper theme. I had to delete them including images, posts, pages and lot more. Don’t you think there should be a thrid option?

Indeed it is as you say, only if you choose install demo with content the homepage will be provided.
Sorry if this is an inconvenience, maybe another demo installation option will be provided in the future. But at the moment there are only these 2 options.

The workaround for that would be to install the demo without content, they copy the homepage content like I mentioned above, from the theme files.

I got it working by installing the DEMO with content. Then I had to delete all the posts added, media added, and all categories. But my users were notified of the new posts that were added by installing the DEMO. That’s sad!

There should be a solution for the problem as discussed above!
