This would work IF you use the theme as is it.
For those who have custom code, it’s a whole different story.
TagDiv should be more conscientious about the number of updates they release, especially when there is no real updates made, just cosmetics.

Every new theme update is like an headache for those who have the theme with custom settings and custom code.
My advice to you is to document every single setting and code changes, so you can remake them once you update the theme.

Looking to every file I can only find an “if” statement added to the beginning of td-login-modal.php

styles.css only changes the version number.

Every other files have no changes from 4.6. or am I missing something?

Theme updates don’t remove your settings nor content.
In any case, it’s good practice to always take note of every change you’ve made to files or settings.
Your posts are safe in the database and are not removed by a theme update.

You can disable the Comments balloons in the Theme Panel > Block Settings > Show Comment Count

Thank you Bogdan! It worked like a charm.

Hi Bogdan, thank you for answering!

I know there is an option to filter the Related Articles by tag but that’s not exactly what I need.
Using the Related Articles by category is good enough, the problem is that having a category “All”, makes this filter useless, which is understandable as it’s going to filter the “All” category and return/show every post.
To solve this, I need to exclude the category “All” from the “Related Articles by category” filter, so it uses every other category as filter.
How can I achieve this? Maybe somewhere in td_block_related_posts.php?

Thank you

That worked perfectly. Thank you so much Catalin.

Hello,

I even tried reinstalling everything again: wordpress + Db + Newspaper + plugins
I was able to narrow the problem to a single plugin: All in one wp security & firewall

When I have this plugin active, some theme panel options are not shown, like in the image above.
Even with the plugin active but with no configuration (just the install), the error persists.
When I deactivate this plugin, everything works, no matter if I use http://www.site.com or just site.com

I already made a clean install of this plugin, but seems that it’s during the install process that it conflits with the theme panel. The obvious option would be to not use this plugin, but it’s kind of annoying because everything was working before the theme update and this plugin gives me important information that I wouldn’t like to not have.
Any ideas of what I can try next?

Thank you!

Go to your Codecanyon downloads page and download the purchase code.

Please ignore my previous post. Unfortunately this issue is still not resolved.

I was using http://www.site.com with Newspaper theme version 6.7 and wordpress 4.4.2

I updated the wordpress to 4.5.3 and theme to 7.3

Everything works fine, unless some configuration options in the theme panel: http://image.prntscr.com/image/1c06c6a3c67c46fbb385563c98d1a824.png

If I change the url to http://site.com (without the www), I can access everything in the theme panel, but I would prefer to use the www in the url.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Hi,

Search the “.td-grid-style-4 .entry-title” in style.css
Edit the property “background-color:” to the color you want.
The opacity is set in the same property.
Example: background-color: rgba(0, 102, 153, 0.7);
0,102,153 is the rgb color code.
0.7 is the opacity.

Good luck

This is solved.

If someone comes across this problem in the future, I’ll explain what I did:

Before updating to the new version I backed up the db. For some reason the update (or some option I missclicked) changed the url from “localhost” to “www.localhost”, which contaminated the whole db.

I had to export the entire data from the db to a txt file, replace “www.localhost” to “localhost”, delete and create a new db with the same name and import the whole data from the txt file.
All works now, every option in the Theme panel is visible.

Why I use localhost as url? This is an offline test server.
Thanks

Hi.
In newspaper, Blocks are made of Modules.
Tagdiv has a nice little plugin that helps you create a new Block and Module.
Here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/practical-example-how-to-add-a-new-block-and-module/

Keep in mind this plugin is a bit outdated, hence it doesn’t work with the new newspaper version 7.3.
In any case, It’s possible to make it work. Just follow the instructions and not the default files.

Outdated files are:
/css/style.css
/modules/td_module_77.php
/shortcodes/td_block_77.php

Hope this helps

In WordPress Panel, choose “Pages” (on the left menu). Then edit the page that you use as “Initial Page”, by clicking on “Edit”.
Now you can click on “Backend Editor” and search for the missing block, or click on HTML tab and search for the unwanted code. Delete it and Save/Update the page.
Hope you find it.

Hi, I believe you have a slider block calling the Revolution Slider plugin in your Homepage.
You need to edit your Homepage and remove the slider block.
Good luck

Thank you for the add in.

After several hours around this issue, it’s always when we decide to get help that the solution presents itself.
It’s not an easy task but it’s done. Apparently the modules title/link is built in td_modules.php.
To change the title colour for each module, one solution could be to duplicate the get_title() function for each colour we would be using i.e: get_title_pink(); and inside the “a href” tag add the inline css or with a css class.
Then inside each td_module_x.php we just need to replace the calling function get_title() to the new name i.e: get_title_pink();
This is just a quick explanation that can be useful to someone else in the future.
Thanks!

Thank you Bogdan. Apparently it is working now.

Thank you for the reply. I forgot to mention that I already tried enabling and disabling the ajax post views, but again with no success.

Hi

Thank you for the code. It worked perfectly. I’m using WP Super Cache plugin, and when I turn Caching ON this new sorting stops working.
I tried enabling/disabling “7 days post sorting” in the Newspaper theme panel, but with no success. Seems like the Caching plugin prevents this code to work.
Is there any workaround I can use?
thank you
