Nope. Over-rides have to load after the initial CSS.
But you can try adding your custom CSS to end of the style.css file 🙂

I think you would need to edit the modules you’re using to comment out the comments, and uncomment the view count. It’s a new theme, so good idea to see how the demo works on themeforest.

I’m sure TagDiv folk will provide more specific answer, but with the weekend here if you need to so something “now” – you will likely need to try editing one of the modules you’re using.

Well .. no idea. Some folks have zero issues with the latest versions of VC.

IN our case it killed our 32GB 8-core XEON dedicated server. Which is pretty wild.

We’re running Apache, CentOS with Plesk/Parallels.

Somebody with “zero trouble” will need to chime in on this one with their server specs.

Yes, or you can even have a sticky section up top, and then “latest” in a new “row” but set the ‘don’t show duplicates’ option, so that the top area would take precedence (e.g., row one); so that way you could have a row with featured stuff, and then another row with “the rest” by date vs what you highlight.

Nice thing — you can play with it …
make one page, make it live;
then make another page, mess with it, and then if you like new one, switch that one on as the static home page 🙂

You should follow the upgrade instructions here:

I don’t think NP6 supports RTL, but NP4 might.

I use the ‘featured’ category and put those posts I want ‘featured’ in the category to show top of my home page, as in a slider, etc.

Visual Composer got much bigger. You can try to exclude that from loading on your post pages (see my sticky topic on optimization for more info on how to remove loading VC from post pages).

I think the shim will automatically turn “off” Visual Composer (in theory).
What I do is leave the “shim beta” turned ON; then leave VC OFF; then turn VC on if I need to make any edits to home page (e.g., this weekend I’m removing the “load more” to limit ajax calls; and simply have link “read more” that goes to the “index” for that topic; which I already did on the sidebars with simple text link — this is the kind of micro-optimizations I’m doing now as time permits…).

For those who care, Radu & Co. have in mind to do a sideways devtrack to possibly remove Visual Composer entirely from future version (E.g., Newspaper 7), but that doesn’t help “right now” as you already know.

Apologies to all for not including links in my recent posts; was doing that from my iPad and not desktop. I “should” have included link to the optimization post with the memory config info and also link to the shim discussion. Doh. Sorry about that. Sometimes I try to be helpful but only go 80% of the distance. 🙂

Wp-admin is in your root folder, part of wordpress.

To install theme, deletd your old theme folder and your new theme folder replaces old one in your wp-content/themes folder.

Newspaper 6 is completely different from np4, its almost an entirely nee theme.

If the smartmag theme was writing the video URL into a data field, you might be able to “call” that field from the new theme somehow; but tagdiv will have to field a possible solution.

First step would be to figure out where the old theme was actually storing the video URL for each post!

Be sure to regenerate your hash keys also!

Visual Composer is a memory hog; no doubt about it.

With Newsmag the last version of VC crashed our server (processes went from .06 to 52, with 8 XEON processors and 32GB ECC RAM); we had to use the beta “SHIM” workaround that Radu came up with.

Basic solutions are:
a) make sure you have at least 128MB allocated for php, and have that in the wp-config.php
b) limit number of queries (e.g., have a 10 most recent list in sidebars, not five queries of latest 2 items from 5 categories); consider disabling the “related posts” element; don’t use mega-menu
c) if you have a LOT of posts added daily, image processing is an ‘expensive’ use of CPU, so consider pre-planning your modules to limit number of image thumbs being built per story, ensure you have a high compression level set and pre-optimize the heck out of what you upload – don’t upload a 767kb file when it could be 45kb at outset for example
d) consider turning off the stupid comment counters (ahem); who cares how many comments a story has, really? That’s a huge amount of queries going on all over the place.
e) optimize the heck out of your site (some of my suggestions are in the stick for site optimization, including adding the memory item in wp-config.php and removing all the comments in wp-config.php — all that crap in there getting loaded over and over)

Stuff like that can set a good baseline to watch the system and see if it chokes. In other words start SIMPLE as possible with everything off, then build up to meet your system capability — if it just dies no matter what, go back to V4; and wait for version of SHIM beta from Radu which works with NP6 (basically this lets you have a homepage with most of the neato modules, but without some of the more dramatic options of VC). I’m running the shim beta with Newsmag on 3 sites now, and zero issues.

Not sure any of that helps … but food for thought …

Not having this issue.
Perhaps link to example or better explanation of your problem?

Not sure why this link isn’t a sticky:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/

Make sure you cleared all your cache, CDN cache, cloudflare, etc.

Make sure you fully clear your browser cache.

Try turning off all plugins except Visual Composer to see if conflict with an oddball plugin.

Make sure you previously increased the default memory for your site from 40MB to at least 96MB in the wp-config.php file (mandatory!) – -128MB if your account supports it; 256MB if allowed.

It does work 🙂

As with all WordPress installs:
WP admin > appearance > widgets

http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Widgets

if that didn’t help; please be more specific and official tagdiv support will respond as soon as they are able 🙂

Did you increase the default memory in your wp-config.php file ?

You MUST change that from the default 40MB to at least 96MB, pref. 128MB and ideally 256MB to use Visual Composer.

a) be sure it’s turned on in the theme panel
b) make sure you have set that option to be visible from the visibility options in your WordPress settings in the admin view.

Might not be the reason, but that is the usual one 🙂

The full width version is kind of like…. Newspaper 6 😉

Contact your host to increase the maximum execution time limit for php.

Sounds like a caching issue; be sure to turn *off* all your caching, clear all your CDN settings if using them; clear browser cache completely, etc.

Since your page is breaking here … likeky your caching service — remember you need to clear/reset ALL your caching when doing them updates/changes otherwise you have mix of old and new content that won’t work …

Your page is breaking after your “cachify” content … (do view source …)

ALso looks like you have a google bad module ID error on your home page, but that is totally different thing (use F12 in chrome to see that error message).

Windows will flag any download file it hasn’t archived by filename as “suspicious.” Has nothing to do with it actually being suspicious when you download from a major commercial website with millions of customers.

Well, you might want to open the zip file, because inside of the “all files” zip is the actual theme zip, changelog, PSD files, plugin zip files, etc.

It’s VERY normal to have a zip inside zip when you download something called “all files” — vs the “just the theme” download. 🙂

Don’t panic!! 10,000 users have survived and are still here and breathing normally.
