Hello there,

I am with newsmag for 10 years and thinking about switching to newspaper-
Is it very complicated? The boxed look of newsmag on pcs I dont like too much and it seem like you cant change that.

Hello,
Unfortunately, there is no guide for how to move from Newsmag to Newspaper, but I will try my best to help you.
First, you need to make sure that you have a full backup for your website and database.
Now what you need to know is that during this process some elements, design from your website can be changed, so here are the steps that you need to do:
Right now you have the Newsmag theme activated, what you need to do is to install via WordPress the Newspaper theme, but do not activate it. After the theme is installed, go in plugins and disable all tagDiv plugins you have enabled and delete them, after that you need to activate the new theme (Newspaper theme) and make sure that you update and activate tagDiv Composer, tagDiv Standard pack (those plugins should bring back the website look and can be installed from Newspaper > plugins), also enable the rest of tagDiv plugins that you are using -> https://i.imgur.com/MvKx52B.png
I hope this will help you!

Hi,
Yes, we have a dedicated custom work department that can assist you with these services. Please contact us at services@tagdiv.com and provide detailed information about the changes you would like to have after switching themes.
It would also be helpful to include temporary wp-admin access, so our colleagues can review your website and check whether there are any custom changes in the theme files that need to be carried over to Newspaper.
Our team will evaluate your request and get back to you with an estimated price and timeframe for the service.
Thank you!

Hi Nachrichtenexpress, our Newsmag theme has only the boxed version, only the Newsapepr theme has the boxed version, full-width size and adjusted size – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/resize-article-content-area/

i got newspaper now but most have huge photos, like newpaper/downtown etc. Is there a way to adjust the photos sizes? or can you tell me which has smaller photos? My photos arent good quality and mostly like 1000x400px. They look terrible on these newspaper themes. I had liked urbanoberserver but like I said photos are too big.

Hi,
You can explore all our demos here: https://demo.tagdiv.com/select_demo/newspaper-prebuilt-websites/?demo-type=all and choose the one that best matches your image sizes and overall layout.
If the issue only affects the single post template, it can be adjusted quickly and easily. However, if changes are needed across the entire site, it’s definitely possible, but it will require a bit more work—each flex block may need to be adjusted individually to ensure the images display properly.
Also, if you can share a link to your website, I’d be happy to take a closer look and suggest the best solution. In some cases, it might be enough to regenerate the images or change the thumbnail size used in the blocks.
Thank you!
