See the wordpress.org plugin site for various form plugin options.

Gravity forms is popular.

Contact form 7 also popular.

I use simple secure contact form plugin.

Anything will work with theme.

Well,
good for you …

note the link in your original post you claim docs don’t match; of course they don’t — those are the old docs. Hence the giant note:

“Newsmag documentation MOVED” … in the giant red box?

I was trying to second guess the fact you didn’t try to follow the instructions on the page you linked to.

So, now that I know you didn’t do that … here is where to go:

current documentation for the theme mega menus:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-newsmag-documentation/

https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-main-menu/

https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-mega-menu/

good luck!

hopefully you can follow the above links ?

You can do a lot with the shortcodes built in to the visual editor .. try them out to see what is actually there.

I have not yet switched to PHP7 … but it’s even better than php 5.6 which was huge huge difference with the opcache support and speed.

I don’t think current version of Newspaper fully PHP7 compatible yet, so that is the quandry there. Supposedly next version will work with pHP7.

our server allows us to ‘choose’ version PER SITE, so makes it easy to test versions and then go back if it doesn’t work.

Basic menu setup is not part of theme panel, but basic function of WordPress ..
you may find the actual WordPress docs useful at some point:

https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Menu_User_Guide

So, you can help yourself by learning the basics of how a simple WP menu actually works by making category, sub-cat, or custom links for testing and learning to do so.

Good luck!

Try php 5.6 — 5.4 is so old now, not recommended!

Seriously. I switched some of our old sites from 5.4 in August, and wow, everything runs soooooo much more smooothly. Really worth doing.

Theme does not control caching.

So, you might try:

clear site cache if you have control panel for that

resave permalinks

clear transients using wp-optimize plugin

THEN, resave permalinks again

that’s what I do to “clean house” …

@finanspara

apologies. I don’t work here; and please accept my apology for my rudeness.

Sorry.

It is updated when theme is updated. See the stick post top of forum on how to update info.

Next theme version expected in December, after WordPress 4.7 released. Which is typically when many theme vendors push an update to ensure compatibility.

Hope that helps!

I don’t work here.

Jesus dude ?

Learn to read.

The VC update will come with the next theme update! ONLY. PERIOD. GOT IT?

The theme will be updated in December, after the new version of WordPress is released. Or as they have it done, not on any set schedule.

Your purchase included the version provided to you which works right now; it doesn’t include on demand updates the second VC is updated.

Or, just go buy a copy and get on with your life?

Most of us here don’t need to see all your posts on this SAME QUESTION over and over and over!

Sheesh!

(I don’t work here, just annoyed.)

Best way to move site is with “DUPLICATOR” plugin !

or …

You should have full backup of site via FTP

You should have full backup of MYSQL dbase

You should export the settings from theme panel; and save any custom code panels to text file; you should save any custom widgets text boxes to text file.

Might be cache overloading;

might be Visual Composer …

you can try using the BETA “TD COmposer” plugin instead, which uses waaaaaaay less system resources.

Also, make sure you’re on PHP 5.6 and not 5.4 !

Install via FTP.

Try installing via FTP.

Well, ask them WHY they think it “may” be compromised.

Some plugins need a directory to have 777 permissions to be writable by WordPress, most can just do 775.

Check with them. Visual Composer is a popular WordPress plugin, so likely ‘false positive’ on their end.

Try increasing the memory allocated to php and in your wp-config.php file.

On our box we needed to change it to 128M to have it work right (default WP setting is 40M, which is nuts).

Check the “system status” page in the theme panel to see where you’re at and where it’s recommended to be.

That is the usual issue with “it’s not working…”

(I don’t work here … just long time user) 🙂

You can’t. You don’t get a paid license to VC.

Simply activate it on the plugins page, then use it 🙂

The bundled version is not the paid version.

Nope.

As I said in the reply …

Don’t go by the “last updated” box on right side of TF page as that is just when the info was updated, not necessarily the actual theme.

(TF = “ThemeForest”)

If you download the theme, and it’s not been updated, then there is no new update, right ?

But I don’t work here.

Good luck!

One solution is to use a browser sniffer, along with the /AMP/ plugin from Automattic (the folks who make WordPress), and redirect Opera MINI users to the “amp” minimal mobile version of page.

That should be off by default, in my opinion.

FYI: I only use TD Composer for the home page or strict “pages,”; and use the normal WP post editor for posts. That works with Newsmag 3.1 just superbly. But it is a beta 😉

try setting to 128M in wp-config.php
and also in your php.ini settings

Newsmag 3.1 still works perfectly, so far. 🙂

We no longer use 1x or 2x here, due to issues with WP 4.7, PHP 5.6, etc.

You need to do the things in my thread

a) you need to optimize fonts either by not using Google Fonts, or you need to unhook them per my notes, then manually put the actual CSS in your style.css file at bottom

b) you need to minify the style.css file using my thread info.

c) consider some of the longer winded stuff — which is super advanced; the only way to fully eliminate above the fold issue is to put css in footer, after un-enqueuing it from the header, then use a critical css generator to build the CSS and put into your header.php file.

—
or — you can try to resolve some of that by using the speedbooster plugin.

Note I am only working with Newsmag optimzations now, and no longer use Newspaper.

Also note, that if you get everything else optimized, the ‘above the fold’ isn’t going to kill you in SERPS.

But there is *no* one click solution to fully optimize your site for maximum speed.

I’ve never seen a theme provider with “live chat” in 10 years of buying WP themes.

But yes, support is via this forum.
