Hi,
you cannot use less in child themes easily because the child theme has to have the style in style.css. Are you working locally? If so:

* make a file style.less in the root of the child theme (where style.css is)
* copy less_files folder from the theme to the child theme
* add in style.less @import “less_files/main.less”;
* compile style.less to style.css via prepos http://alphapixels.com/prepros/ (ex: just drag and drop style.less in that program and it will compile it automatically to style.css)

keywords: less in child theme, using less, less compiler

Hi,

I’ve looked at the site and I think that the booster plugin is not working as expected. The resources seem to come from cdn.your domain .Are you using mod pagespeed or some kind of cdn optimizer?

I will try to test the WPSocialite + speedbooster and if it works well we will update the plugin.

PS. Marius is making the stars now for you now – sorry for the delay.

@Christopher – I agree with you, any social sharing badge that shows the number of likes/tweets etc comes with a cost :). There is one solution – to call the like tweets via api on server (like our social counter does) but like the social counter is very hard to maintain and it will have to make server side requests to the apis periodically for each post… that is not good. It’s almost impossible to deploy such such a thing to a lot of users and hosts combinations but I will experiment a bit with this 🙂 .

Hi,

yes you can. The plugin also moves jquery and all the dependent files in the footer. It also activates the js buffer from Newspaper to capture all the js and output it at the end of the document after jQuery.

Use the console from chrome or firefox to see if the new plugin has errors due to jQuery at the footer. If it’s a well made plugin it will work.

You can find the css id of the plugin if you hit view source and search for it: http://screencast.com/t/xJukVynQpa (for bbpress for ex.)

Hello,

please enable the crop featured image option and after that you have to rebuild the thumbnails. Only new images that are uploaded are cropped. I will update the documentation to better explain this.

I updated the docs and it will show up in search, it’s a known issue https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-disableactivate-visual-editor/

Hope everything is ok now,

Hi,

@tcdraper thanks for answering. I prepared a guide for migration: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-newspaper-from-v2-to-v3/ see last item.

Hope it helps,

Hi,

you can try this code (add it via themepanel -> css). It will make the logo a bit bigger. I cannot move it in the same line with the buttons :|. If you want to adjust it’s size play with the 142% value (for size) and -20% (for centering)

/* responsive phone */
@media (max-width: 767px) {
 .td-logo {
  max-width: 142%;
  position: relative;
  left: -20%;
 }
}

Hope this is ok,
Radu O.

Hi all,

I will try to solve this but it’s a hard problem :). The speed booster plugin moves all the styles at the bottom of the page and the theme default style is loaded first (because it’s at the bottom the style is instantly applied to the rendered page) and after that the theme outputs the colors.

Sorry about that! Actually in 3.0.1 I messed up again. If you can replace in style.css newspaper with Newspaper it will work.

When I’ve tested it on windows it worked with n instead of N but on linux hosting it will fail.

The author picture feature was spam a lot by sites.. for example some webmasters where using sexy girls on wordpress tutorials and such :). In the last couple of months I think google got a lot more picky about what picture they show and a lot of our users complained about this but unfortunately is out of our control .

V 3.0.1 is out for some time now yes.

We are working to fix all the remaining issues, especially the custom ad size support and to finally fix our speed booster plugin for good with ad sense.

Stay tuned 🙂

Hello,

I’m working to fix the ad size issue and to add custom sizes to ads.

Hopefully by the end of the week it will be done.

Hi,

we are willing to talk but unfortunately we do not have time yet to do custom work. We have over 130 feature requests on our issue tracker and we try to implement the most useful ones. I’m sorry for the inconvenience but we can give you the money back if you want.

Hi,

we are still searching for a solution for this problem. Thanks for the feedback.

via email.

Hi danielevsilva,

I would need more details so that I can tell you exactly if we can implement the changes or not… what custom posts types are you trying to use? What kind of support are we talking about? (custom filters on our blocks for custom post types or just page support etc..)?

Thanks and let me know,
Radu O. from tagDiv

@mofiki working at it. Thanks for reporting this issue.

1. it works via the shortcode in the adspot – it may still have aligment issues but we’re working to fix them.

2. Yes I want to integrate Google DFP but we don’t have any ad codes that work with our domain names. it seems that they are tied to specific domains and we cannot test them on our dev servers. I also tried to register with them via https://www.google.com/dfp/ but it seems that you can only buy ads there. Any pointers about how to implement this will help a lot. In v3 it may work by just pasting the ad codes in the boxes.

Hello,

@livingsmarttv thanks for reporting this. I will put some keywords here to show this thread up in search.

@vexx we fixed all the known issues and there is also a patch that contains only the changed files + a list of changed files.

jetpack shortcodes video embeds shortcode youtube excerpt

Hello,

I will publish a list of files that are changed on themeforest when the update is accepted.

Hello anastasios,

First of all I’m sorry about the late response. The update was submitted Friday night and Themeforest surprised us and accepted the update Sunday morning. Since then I’ve fixed them and we are doing final testing to resubmit an update. We also have in total over ~150 support requests (Email+themeforest+here)… we are a bit overwhelmed but it will calm down in the next days.

I wrote a more detailed explanation about the bugs here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/newspaper-v3-bug-ridden-radu-start-a-beta-group/#post-5844

Hello,

the two most serious bug are fixed now and I will update the theme on themeforest in a couple of hours after we finish testing.

I too think it would be nice to have a beta group/program or early access to the latest theme code but we don’t have the logistics for this yet.

1. The first bug (speed booster) – was because our deploy script did not include two new javascript files in the theme (the minimize ones). All of our testing with the speed booster plugin took place with our local version of the theme, not the final deploy broken version. (From now on we will test all things on the final deploy version)

2. the second bug with the authors that are not admin was due to a missing en queue for the wordpress color picker. For some reason it is not automatically loaded when a user is not admin. (All of our test users where admins 😐 )

@vexx can you give me a sample url? It is happening also on our demo? What browser?

Thanks for the feedback

Hello,

From your last thread it seems that the theme is not uplaoded compleatly. It gives missing files errors in the error log and that is not good.

I’ve tested the shortcodes on our install and it should not appear, just as in V2.

Reupload the theme and it should fix it.

I will have a look at the speedbooster plugin + Disqus today also.

Hello,

v3 is ready for live use, it’s live on our demo server for some time now. From the logs it seems that the theme got corupted (missing files from the theme in the log). Please try to reupload it… that should clean up the error log and the performance should also be better.

Let me know about your results.

Hello,

you can have a look here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/pagespeed/#post-3070

add_filter( 'jpeg_quality', create_function( '', 'return 50;' ) );

should compress the thumbs better. Also on that thread you can find a lot of usefull information about pagespeed.
