Severe problem with Newspaper Theme: extremely slow pages.
What I’ve tried:
— Cleared all caches, for site & browser.
— Disabled plugins.
— Theme plugins are up-to-date (required manual installation is disappointing).
— Changed the designated Home page. THAT works, but is unacceptable.
For a week I have struggled. My site actually went down for 2 hours, at one point. Finally, got it going yesterday. But needed to make some further changes in the TagDiv Composer, a few color changes and added links to image ads… and Newspaper broke again. This theme is too fragile.
Please see if you can fix it. I can send you a temporary password to a private email so you can access admin panel.

Hello JoAnn, I am experiencing the same issues – what have you been able to achieve so far?
No. WordPress support told me that the Newspaper front page had experienced a fatal error. They were the ones to figure out that changing the front page made the site operable. This is not a problem to be solved by page speed tweeking.
I’m chatting with WordPress Support right now (again). I’ve got that good WP Business hosting plan — everything is well-powered and optimized. I’ll post here with any solutions that work. Is your site better? If so, how did you fix it?
Talked to WordPress Support, again. This is what they did, in their words:
1. deactivated all the plugins, but the site still loads slow.
2. Theme conflicts with the page optimize plugin.
3. Switching to a different theme speeded the site load.
Also, we clear the site’s cache, and that didn’t help either.
They also said the Newspaper theme isn’t compatible with their optimization plugin. When I have it activated, it causes the Newspaper menu to malfunction.
I ask you, if TagDev develops WordPress themes, how is it they don’t work well with premium WordPress hosting?
Installed the new update. Was able to update plugins from within WordPress. However, now it takes up to 40 seconds for the Home Page to open.
I like how Newspaper organizes the material on my website, using the magazine template. But I am disgusted at all the hours & hours I’ve spent to customize it — for nothing.
As is, Newspaper is an unusable theme. And I can NOT say that I’m impressed with TagDiv support.
No meaningful response from TagDiv Support on this issue.
