Hello Calin,
thanks again, I’m replying a lot later but it seemed not a immediate task for me at the beginning.

At the end all went well, but I followed an alternate process, maybe longer but without installing additional plugins which I prefer if is possible.

I share it just in case could be useful to some reader:

1) updated to wordpress 5.6
2) updated newspaper from 10.3.2 to 10.9.1 BUT issues still appeared
3) deactivated all plugins (and issues disappeared) except NewsPaper and some security plugins
4) reactivated one by one the plugins until I found the one that caused the issues (it was the plugin of our hosting company)
5) I contacted them and we solved the issues also with a lot of luck too 🙂

no images with WordPress 5.6 and Newspaper 10.3.2

Hello,
I write here given that the subject is similar.

Today I tried to change the demo of our website (from College to Health), after the daily full backup of our hosting service.

A big issue and potentially unrestorable happened and I want to share here for the community too! I was fortunate at the end, but guys!

I have last version of Newspaper installed.

Here’s what I did:
1. uninstalled College demo
2. installed Health demo “with content”
3. cleared browser cookie/cache and refreshed the url
4. the website changed a lot and it had many box/areas of health in addition to the website content.
5. I decided then to restore the website with the full daily backup
6. cleaned browser cookie/cache and reloaded the url.
7. College demo loaded but with mixed content, the website is not the same anymore (!!!!!) Usually with a full backup in the past, I was able to restore layout errors to the functioning backup version, so this was unexpected.
8. I contacted my hosting company and they were surprised too!
9. From WordPress Area, the NEWSPAPER version seems INACTIVE, it asked to insert the activation code (!!!!) as shown here https://imgur.com/a/dCN4OCA. In addition, College demo DID NOT have the uninstall “button” available, so it seems that NO demo was installed (!).
10. they replied to do this: to move your files to another folder or delete them and then restore from the Backup Tool. After that, go to PhpMyAdmin and drop the tables of the database for your website there and restore the database from the same date from which the website files were restored.
11. I did not know how to do that and asked for their help. In the meantime, after around 1 hour from the last backup, suddenly, the website restored previously to the last version, without manual work of our hosting provider.
12. the message asking “please activate the theme” disappeared.

Anyway, hope there should be a safer way, in the future, to see how the website look with the new demo without these big issues.

I found there are big difference in loading time of some of your demos, but I don’t know if it can be trusted or not. I mean, if College has a 4.8 second loading time with Gtmetrix compared to 1.8s of Health, basically, Health demo is generally much faster of College or it depends by how the page is designed?

Thanks a lot for reading!

thanks Amit for the updated guide:
https://www.infophilic.com/get-almost-100-pagespeed-newspaper-theme/

About my initial requests:
1) I’ve edited the tag translation, thanks!

2) I found complicated for me to create a new page starting from the Cloud template (manually adding all the new section on the page, need to find the caracter format, lots of manual work).
Instead, I created a new category with the same tag name, added the articles to that category and redirected the old url tag to the category url. Thanks the same.

I’ve installed “WPS Hide Login” (+600.000 installations) and it does not create the issue on the “save settings” button!

thanks Calin, the “Save Settings” button worked well until few days ago, I’ve found that by deactivating the plugin “WP Hide & Security Enhancer”, the button now works good again!
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-hide-security-enhancer/

I’ll signal the conflict also to the developer/s of this useful plugin, anyway I don’t like brute force attacks to WordPress and I want to give additional security.

Calin, please do you have any suggestion about a similar plugin 100% (ideally) compatibile with Newspaper? It’s not about Wordfence or similar as you understand, but about something that change those (hidden also) settings that allow WordPress websites to be much less seen.

Main plugin functionality:

Custom Admin Url
Block default admin Url
Block any direct folder access to completely hide the structure
Custom wp-login.php filename
Block default wp-login.php
Block default wp-signup.php
Block XML-RPC API
New XML-RPC path
Adjustable theme url
New child Theme url
Change theme style file name
Clean any headers for theme style file
Custom wp-include
Block default wp-include paths
Block defalt wp-content
Custom plugins urls
Individual plugin url change
Block default plugins paths
New upload url
Block default upload urls
Remove wordpress version

Thanks a lot!

Thank you Calin, you’re genius, that’s exactly what I wanted!

The only thing is that Newspaper is not giving me the chance to save the new settings.

I’ll try again tomorrow, but please find attached the image. It keeps showing that icon for minutes. I cleared cache, tried from Chrome and Safari, but nothing changes.

In whatever menu I click on Save Settings, that icon appears.

Hi,

thanks a lot but with mobile theme active, we do not have those buttons on the right side at the top that you show in your screenshot.

https://imgur.com/RnwC5M0 (“preview” button is “anteprima”, while “update” is “Aggiorna”). As you can see, there’s no mobile theme button there. Neither on the edit pages, nor on the article pages.

In addition, strangely, sometime I see mobile theme from the desktop!!! Really! On Chrome.

I do not have screenshot now but we saw it more than once. Maybe there’s something that goes in conflict with Newspaper. I think I’ll disable the mobile theme if there’s no a simple solution to these issues.

Thanks, regards

Hi,
here’s what I did:

FIRST ATTEMPT
I updated theme to 10.3
I updated all plugins
I cleared cache
I activated all required plugins (including the required plugins, which are are 4: there’s also Social Plugin).

It didn’t work.

SECOND ATTEMPT
I updated theme to 10.3
I updated all plugins
I cleared cache
As you said, I deactivated all plugins, except “tagDiv Composer”.
I cleared cache.
STILL BAD GRAPHICS

ATTEMPT 3
I deactivated and deleted old version of Wp Bakery Page Builer (in WordPress standard plugin section)
I updated theme to 10.3
I updated all plugins
I cleared cache
I activated all 4 required plugins.

It didn’t work.

ATTEMPT 4
I deactivated and deleted old version of Wp Bakery Page Builer (in WordPress standard plugin section)
I updated theme to 10.3
I updated all plugins
I cleared cache
I deactivated all plugins, except “tagDiv Composer”.
STILL WRONG GRAPHICS

Hi,

sorry but I don’t understand your instructions. You say to check that all themes plugins are installed, but when they have to be in installed mode? Before making the update or later?

Also, you put red arrows in the picture on 3 plugins, but I didn’t understand why.

(With “tag div mobile them” in ACTIVE, my website pages are missing in some cases, but maybe I set wrong instructions).

Anyway, please could you provide step by step guidelines for the update, in the right sequence?

1) do this
2) do that
e) etc. etc

In case it doesn’t work:

1) do this
2) do that etc.etc.

Thank you!
Regards

Hello Bogdan,
thank you for your help but I meant this, sorry:

how to remove the small social sharing buttons from every private post of a single category?

I’m referring to the following ones:

1. TOP ARTICLE SHARING
2. TOP ARTICLE LIKE
3. BOTTOM ARTICLE SHARING
4. BOTTOM ARTICLE LIKE

I found no option for this inside NewsPaper, neither inside the category (under LAYOUT SETTINGS)
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-category-settings-work/

nor inside the single post:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/post-templates-2/

Hope it’s clear now: I need to hide facebook button, telegram button, whatsapp button, pinterest button on all posts of a single category, BUT I want to keep these buttons on all other categories.

About social counter, I choose that this single category has NO sidebar, so they don’t appear.

Hope there’s a solution for hiding the social sharing buttons, thank you very much!
Angelo

About the first question, I think you can go to appearance_widget and add one of the TagDiv Blocks on the right, then you can select under General and Filter your preferences (there’s also TAG SLUG, they should select the posts containing your specific words, if I’m not wrong).
