What happened?

Posted in: Newspaper

I’ve been working on my new website for a long time and have written around 50 articles. Today, I discovered that all of the articles — including the demo articles from the theme — now contain the exact same content. The text in every article has been replaced by one and the same article.

All other elements (images, excerpts, keywords) are still correct — it’s only the article text itself that has suddenly become identical across all posts.

Does anyone know what could cause this, or how to fix it – if possible?

Hi,

Did you edit the articles that came with the theme, or did you create your own?
We recommend creating your own content, as the demo content provided with the theme will be removed if you install a different demo or uninstall the current one.
If you can provide some examples of the steps you took, we may be able to identify the cause of the problem.
Thank you!

Hi
Thanks for fast responce.

I create new post from scratch.

Post – New post – selecting the “single template – week pro” adding all basic info, save it, open it i browser, then edit in Tagdiv composer – in all articles i have only used “Text with title”

I have downloaded the xml file of the posts so they seems there to be intact and ok.

Hi,
I believe there’s a misunderstanding. tagDiv Composer is a page builder—you can use it to create pages and cloud templates. In your case, you can create templates for articles, but not the articles themselves. What it allows is customizing the layout and elements that your articles will use.

Once the template is ready, you’ll use the WordPress editor to actually create and write the articles. https://i.imgur.com/WA5GrgO.png https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-cloud-library-templates/

Hi again Calin
Maybe you misunderstand me.
Do you have a mail where I can send you screenshots?

I am creating the page in WordPress editor (and on the bottom you choose the Post template: (I assume that are how you would like the page to be setup (page layout))
And I assume you then should able able to edit it, independently without it then affect all other posts, including demos?

The strange thing are that all post was correct, I have been working on the site for about two weeks and all was ok, until suddenly every post was the same.

I assume if it was template affected, it would change all post in the same moment, not weeks later 🙂

I want to leave the side as it is (if you want to look at it) – if not I will reinstall it, staring over again, uploading the posts from xml file – so I not lost much (I hope), still it would be interessting to know why it actually happened.

Hi,

You can contact us privately via email at contact@tagdiv.com if you’d like to share your credentials. Please do not post them on the forum.

Regarding your issue:
The problem is that you’ve edited the single post template each time when you think you add the article content, as shown here: https://i.imgur.com/LeuIZit.jpeg also, the dynamic post content element was replace with a Text with Title element. This element displays static content and does not automatically show each article’s content.

To display content dynamically for each post, you need to use the Post Content element instead: https://i.imgur.com/hldTlpY.png (I set it back)

If I understand correctly, you created the articles, then opened each article individually, edited the cloud template using tagDiv Composer, and manually changed the text inside the fixed text block. That’s the root of the issue.

There are currently 24 edits on your template, and 22 of them are changes to the text inside the static Text with Title element.

This means you’ve essentially created articles with only a title, but added the content directly in the template, not in the article itself https://i.imgur.com/U6qR7mt.png

Articles should be created properly in the post editor, like this example:
https://www.pomeranian.dk/wp-admin/post.php?post=64&action=edit
frontend view: https://www.pomeranian.dk/index.php/2025/06/26/mobile-marketing-is-said-to-be-the-future-of-e-commerce/

Also, please make sure you’re using the global template from the panel: https://i.imgur.com/vHbkSTS.png use an individual template only if you want a custom layout for a specific article.

Thank you!

Ah – got it….thx.

Let me at the same run now ask you.

(It’s maybe in the documents, I just not have found it) – how to ad shortcodes?
I am used to elementor, and there are a widget for shortcodes.

Secound: The opt-in builder – have you a solution to og consider to make it compatible with MailPoet?
Let me explain my intention.

I want offer free acces to restricted posts, but I want to force the reader to subscribe to my newsletter via MailPoet – so I want the opt-in to be email based, and the entered mails submitted to the selected list in MailPoets (I know I can use export of CVS , but its a manual task as for now.)

And a last comment:
At first eyes , I didn’t like the tagdiv composer, but I leved the template and otions, so I forced myself to start “learn” it – now I love it 🙂

Hi,
The single used for the template contains the dynamic elements from this guide https://forum.tagdiv.com/single-post-shortcodes/

If you want to display a widget, you can use the widget element in composer – https://i.imgur.com/njihkNj.png, just drag it in the place you want to be and choose a widget – https://i.imgur.com/yK4TU1x.png

The opt-in builder provides the option to allow free access to restricted articles, but it is not connected with the MailPoet, the list of emails needs to be downloaded in csv and imported to MailPoet https://i.imgur.com/b2puaRo.png

We’re glad you like our builder, even though it may not be the most intuitive; it’s a very powerful and complex builder.

Thank you!
