When I normally do an update my site looks weird until I re-install the TD Composer plugin, then it all looks fine again. I followed the same process here when upgrading from v9 to v10 but even after installing the TD Composer plugin, the home page looks broken.
This is the “code” for the homepage that breaks:
[tdc_zone][vc_row][vc_column][td_block_24 limit=”1″ custom_title=”LATEST ANSWER” mx16_el=”25″ m19_el=”45″ td_ajax_preloading=”preload”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][td_block_11 mx4_tl=”35″ custom_title=”RANDOM ANSWERS” td_ajax_preloading=”preload” ajax_pagination=”next_prev” limit=”4″ sort=”random_posts” offset=”2″ m1_tl=”35″][td_block_15 sort=”” td_ajax_preloading=”preload” ajax_pagination=”load_more” limit=”3″ custom_title=”LATEST ANSWERS” offset=”1″][td_block_15 custom_title=”POPULAR ANSWERS” td_ajax_preloading=”preload” ajax_pagination=”load_more” sort=”popular7″ offset=”1″ limit=”3″ mx4_tl=”40″ tdc_css=”eyJhbGwiOnsic2hhZG93LXNpemUiOiIwIiwib3BhY2l0eSI6IjAiLCJkaXNwbGF5IjoiIn19″ f_header_font_style=”eyJwb3J0cmFpdCI6IiJ9″][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3"][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id="td-default"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width="stretch_row_1200 td-stretch-content" tdc_css="eyJhbGwiOnsiZGlzcGxheSI6IiJ9LCJwaG9uZSI6eyJkaXNwbGF5IjoiIn0sInBob25lX21heF93aWR0aCI6NzY3fQ=="][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][/tdc_zone]
I think this is what I saw on the page when it was broken, but I’m not 100% sure. I should have taken a screenshot but was in a rush to get my site back up.
Hi,
this is usually happens if you do not install the standard pack please check our topic from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/action-required-please-read-how-to-update-to-the-newspaper-theme-v-10/ and we also add an article for this on our blog -> https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-update-standard-pack-or-tagdiv-cloud-templates/
Thank you!
Wtf? Why add this extra layer of complexity and it’s not even clear as to what’s going on.
So, I’m order to update to v10 I do this:
1. Update the theme
2. Install standard pack
3. Install other TagDiv plugins.
4. Uninstall the standard pack
the article doesn’t say anything about the other plugins so I’m assuming I do that after the standard pack install. And then I uninstall the stater pack? Am I reading this right?
…
Hi,
No, you understand this wrong, you deactivate the standard plugin only if you replace the page elements with flex elements and cloud, without classic elements ( block, style ), only hen you can deactivate the standard pack, because the standard pack is the old version of the theme, by deactivating it you’ll have only the cloud elements that will make your website faster.
I hope I was clear this time, if not, let me know!
Thank you!
Thank you for the response. So the standard pack just allows the legacy stuff to work? Is that a valid understanding of this?
Thanks.
Ignore my last message. I now understand fully after readin this and with your help:
https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-update-standard-pack-or-tagdiv-cloud-templates. I would suggest adding a link to that in the original post.
Let me ask you this. Will the Standard Pack eventually go away? If so, are we talking months or years? Thanks.

Can you please explain how you updated then? 🙂
Did you delete TagDiv plugins separately from WP dashboard?
Or activate a different theme – then upload Newspaper and activate – then enable plugins?
How did you use TD Composer to redesign and move away from Standard Pack?
Thanks
Hi Ryansmccain,
For the moment there are no plans to remove the standard pack from the theme.
Hi PatWire,
Make sure that you checked all the suggestion from this topic, this will help you to understand better how the Newspaper X is working.
Thank you for your understanding!
thanks
To anyone reading this, this solution worked. Thank again
