I have read many posts about individuals not being able to save their settings in the theme panel of the Newspaper theme. I have read them all – modifying and optimizing the settings for WordPress (everything is green and set to the settings advised by tagDiv), clearing our cache, installing Super Cache, and even reinstalling the theme 6 times with no results.
It should be taken note that we do not have a domain pointed to this website and are using VHost in order to work on it. We were able to have these settings work using a local MAMP install and they did in fact save. But, that is not the point, we want to work on this website while it is on our hosting account as we plan to use this WordPress install with the Newspaper theme as an update version of a website that already has the domain we will use pointed at it.
We also noted that when trying to install the packaged plugins from the Newspaper/Plugins menu items that they would not install and would throw a 403 Forbidden error up on the screen. Our host does not allow temporary URLs. But we were able to simply upload the plugins from the Newspaper download, and everything installed successfully, even Visual Composer
With the above information provided I hope someone can give us a workaround that will allow us to still work on this site without point a domain to it while under construction, and not work on it on a local machine.
Thanks!
Hello dap4890,
Please ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme installed via FTP way because this is the surest method in this regard. Also, if you are using some untested plugins, try to disable all of them, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme packet and rule out any conflicting plugins. Check your system status and increase the parameters according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ Also, if the problem is still there, please try to make a new clean install from scratch via FTP way, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme packet and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
As I stated in my original post; I did all of those things. Again, I went ahead and deleted all of the WordPress files and SQL databases. I started fresh today and uploaded all files via FTP, the WordPress installation, the Theme, and the bundled Plugins. I have only WPBakery Visual Composer Activated and I am still having the same exact issue. Newspaper 7.7 is installed. When trying to save the theme panel settings the square just keeps spinning forever…
Again, I have had success with this theme flawlessly using MAMP for a localhost install on my personal computer. This new installation is on a hosting account. We do not have a domain pointing to this account and access it via Virtual Host.
All help is greatly appreciated and thanks for responding so fast!
Hello dap4890,
Check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ regarding on dedicated server to fit our requirements. Also, if the problem is still there, you should contact the hosting provider, tell the problem and ask for some information regarding this issue because it is possible that this issue is caused by your dedicated server. Ensure that you have increased all the system status parameters, clear all your caches, server cache and check the results.
Hope this help and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the message!
