I installed the amp plug, I made the settings. I get “404 error” when I add ”/ amp” to the end of the URL. https://www.webagi.net/2018/07/10/kablosuz-lan-wlan-nedir-wlan-faydalari-nelerdir/amp Why does not the amp plug-in make my pages compatible?

Hello,

Please read this guide to learn about amp and pages: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-amp-plugin-tutorial/ Amp is only compatible with pages that do not use a page builder and can be tested with /?amp not /amp https://www.webagi.net/2018/07/10/kablosuz-lan-wlan-nedir-wlan-faydalari-nelerdir/?amp

Thank you! Bogdan B

Hello,

First of all, I really love NewsPaper since day 1. I just want to ask a question about the theme and your plans. It may not be entirely related to the theme but it is related to specific features of the theme.

In its current state, we can add Google AdSense and Google Analytics codes to the NewsPaper theme which allows us using those services. But as you may know this makes our sites not compliant with GDPR. Because in EEA areas, our websites should never set cookies unless visitors give specific consent. So somehow cookies should be blocked before consenting. Now, some Cookie Consent plugins prevent certain cookies but they are not working perfect with caching scripts either. So they are not solving anything either. Using an Analytics plugin creates only first party cookies but whether they are first party or third party cookies shouldn’t be there before visitors give consent according to the GDPR. Besides, if we add the codes to the theme, it is nearly impossible to prevent them creating cookies at the moment. So I want to know what tagDiv is planning to do about GDPR compliance for their themes. I really love NewsPaper and I never want to change it because it is perfect for me. But this custom js codes working uncontrolled makes websites not compliant with GDPR. Please release GDPR specific update or what so we can keep on using this great theme with AdSense and Analytics services from inside the theme as before without having to fill the site with lots of plugins which may create further complications :) Thanks.

Sorry but there i no such feature in our theme at the moment and I cannot provide a solution on short notice. If our development team considers this is a must have, we will definitely implement it into our theme in future updates, but for the moment there is no solution I can provide except recommend plugins that can offer this feature. If you feel you cannot use the thee because of this, we can offer a full refund so you can pick another theme that best fits your project. You can request a refund here: https://themeforest.net/refund_requests/new

Thank you for understanding! Bogdan B

No, thank you. I don’t need a refund or money. I only needed a little bit of emphaty here. I will just look for “unknown” plugins by “unknown” developers, purchase them, try them for this issue.

Regarding your replies, I have been using this theme since I bought it. In your messages, you act here like I wanted you to be my web designer and create something entirely different of what you have been doing for years. But it is not true. It is related to your theme (themes). GDPR is a real deal. It covers entire website from WordPress itself to the theme and plugins. You said you are compliant and you don’t collect data but you have Ads and Analytics/JS Codes sections which may lead to collect data and I requested them to be somehow compliant with GDPR. It is your right to not honor this request of course but it only ruins your reputation and our trust in you. But know that those sections are part of your theme and although you are not directly responsible of what we put in them, you are responsible for their existence and you will have to make something about them to be compliant with GDPR when your other customers start complaining about fines etc. I just wanted to warn you beforehand.

Besides, you have been telling me what you CAN’T do here, but since last year when I purchased this theme I have seen what you (tagDiv) CAN do. You have created an entire theme. You have done so many things, added so many features, created so many plugins – in short, you set the bar so high that I started using only your plugins because they work with this theme better. I didn’t have to look out for more plugins. I deleted my third party plugins meanwhile, started using yours. Google released AMP and you released an AMP plugin. This is why I felt I trusted you. This is why in the case of GDPR I thought and expected you to show the same approach and add a few of user friendly GDPR features for us to keep on using your theme more conveniently and build more trust in us. I did not ask anything you CAN’T do here. Blocking some cookies that are set by a theme’s feature shouldn’t be harder than creating that theme, right?

Regarding scenarios, you ended your previous reply with “The theme cannot cover all scenarios”. I didn’t ask that. You yourself should have thought about COMMON scenarios though. Is there anyone not using any Google services anymore?

“The section of the theme panel is not an “analytics” section, but rather a general header code section. We mentioned analytics as it is the most common resource used in that spot.” Remember writing this? Obviously you thought about analytics codes. Any third party plugin means more complications. You have relevant sections in your theme ready to use. But after your replies it seems we don’t have much choice to look OUT. I will write no more not to turn this comments sections into a GDPR debate. I have already expressed my disappointment in you guys. But hey, I am only one guy. Have a good day

Believe me, I understand the issue perfectly and we do care about these issues, but please understand our position. I did not say we cannot do it as a theme developer. I merely mentioned i personally cannot provide a solution NOW for an issue that has to be investigated and a implemented accordingly. These types of implementation do not happen overnight. They have to be discussed and decisions made in this regard by the whole team and then the proper implementation created and tested across multiple scenarios. It will take weeks if decided upon. That is what I meant, not that we as a developer cannot create such an implementation. I already mentioned I will pass this information and raise this problem in our future meetings. I’m not sure what more information I can provide now in this regard.

Thank you for understanding. Bogdan B

Hi. Can you guys help me. My website crashed when I updated it. Maybe I deleted some wrong plugin or crashed the code in header.php or index.php. Do you have any ideas where the reason might be? Also lost 20 latest articles when trying to fix it with backup restoration. my website address is www.nflsuomi.com

Hello,

It seems that the style.css is not loading. Maybe the cache is still holding the old file and not letting the new one apply. Please clear all caching from your plugin or cdn server or even hosting side cache if the host offers such a solution. If you still have trouble afterwards, please contact us via email at conact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin and cpanel access so we can login and investigate.

Thank you! Bogdan B

Hello, how can I submit a ticket directly to support? I see there is a forum, but I would like to submit a ticket directly to the support theme.

Hello,

Sure. Please open a new topic on our official support forum here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/forum/newspaper/ Plesa euse the email address you activated the theme with to retrieve your forum password.

Thank you! Bogdan B

Hi. I am again requesting you to PLEASE allow random related posts option in the theme. I am tired of showing the same posts continuously to my website visitors since day one. the plugin shows mostly ONLY the latest posts and that is all. a random option to show posts in highly requested. please for heavens sake.

Hello,

Please provide more details to exactly what sort option you need and where. The related posts option in our theme does not show the latest posts. It shows posts related to the currently viewed post: https://forum.tagdiv.com/related-articles/ but i get the feeling this is not what you mean. Please provide more details so we can offer an alternative solution.

Thank you! Bogdan B

hello… lovely theme. Pre Purchase question. My friend uses this Newspaper theme 8. I tried helping him change the content width, but to no avail. How do I change the content width before I purchase this theme. Thank you, Regards.

Hello,

The width is changed in the tagdiv composer page builder. For pages this can be done by editing the page in the page builder and selecting the stretch row option like so: https://www.screencast.com/t/8W2bc22j The same method is used for posts and other templates but you need to use the cloud library plugin in order to edit a post template width: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/

Thank you! Bogdan B

Thanks alot for the tips. Is there a Global settings for this?

Hi,

For pages, no they have to be created individually, but for posts, you can create a template and apply it globally to all posts at once by setting it as the default post template as mentioned by the cloud library guide posted in my previous reply.

Thank you! Bogdan B

Hello, will we be able (in one of your next release) to customise the mega menu, especially determining the categories and articles order of appearance in the menu (categories and articles not ordered alphabetically or by date), This and tabs are the only customization and elements that lack in this amazing theme. Thanks in advance

Hello,

You can sort the categories of the mega menu using a plugin as mentioned here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/changing-the-order-of-the-subcategories-in-mega-menu/ For the moment tabs are not covered by the tagdiv composer page builder. Sorry.

If you have any further questions please open a new topic on our official support forum at http://forum.tagdiv.com/forum/newspaper/ The comments section here is destined for presale questions.

Thank you! Bogdan B

Hey perfect people!!

this theme is the best in the world!

we are expecting a discount campaign. At least 50 people are waiting for this in our forum.

Hello,

Thank you for your appreciation. We participate in most envato sale campaigns so keep an eye out for discounts.

Thank you! Bogdan B

Quick question: I just purchased this theme and absolutely love it, but I think I’m not understanding something. Using a demo import, I simply want to change the demo categories on some of the blocks on the home page to my categories. When I choose the FILTER tab and choose the category I want, I’m then asked to create a shortcode and then save it. Is this how I have to change all my categories, by creating shortcodes? This is the part I don’t understand. I’m thinking I should only have to SAVE it, yes? Or no? Thanks again!!

Never mind! Duh. I’m such an idiot. The SAVE button is the disc icon at the top of the panel. I was thinking it had to be the large button called SAVE SHORTCODE at the bottom of the panel. Sorry! My bad! Can’t wait now to buy more licenses for this theme. One quick question, though: is there a way to have pages open by default in the tagDiv composer?

Hello,

thank you for your appreciation. Sorry but there is no way to open pages by default in the tagdiv composer, but you can open the tagdiv composer in many different ways without accessing the page back-end like: https://www.screencast.com/t/ZigrVXynmhttps://www.screencast.com/t/kLhMuupwy

Thank you! Bogdan B

Wonderful! Thank you so much!!

Hello – is there a way to reset the post views to 0. I’m currently working on building the website and don’t want all the times I look at the blog posts to be counted as a post view.

Hello,

If you activate the custom fields in the screen options, you then have the possibility to set the exact number of views you want for each post in particular. If you have any further questions please open a new topic on our official support forum at http://forum.tagdiv.com/forum/newspaper/ The comments section here is destined for presale questions.

Thank you! Bogdan B

Hi, I hope you can add infinite scroll post (not with pagination) on the next update. I waiting this feature so long.Best…

Hello,

Thank you for your suggestion. For the moment there is no plan in motion in this regard though. I cannot promise anything at the moment.

Thanks for understanding. Bogdan B

Hi there, I was wondering how this theme is going to cope with the arrival of Gutenberg? Do you have any information on this?

Hello,

The theme will be compatible with Gutenberg. There is no need to worry as we always make the implementation required for WordPress changes.

Thank you! Bogdan B

https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/tabs-and-accordions/ seems not to be working, the tabs are missing

Hello,

Tabs and accordions are only available through the wpbakery page builder. Tagdiv composer does not feature these options. The article in question is no longer available and will be removed or redirected.

Thank you! Bogdan B

Hi, I have a question regarding setting up the main page.

I customized each category in “Theme Panel” like below. http://ebooklist.net/category/computer/games/ But I am not sure where I can customize the main page. http://ebooklist.net/

It just shows each post and lines them up.

Where and How can I customize it?

Thank you!

Hello,

Please read this guide to learn how to create a homepage and how to set it as a homepage and not have just a list of your latest posts: https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/

Thank you! Bogdan B

Thank you for your help.

I read the post and tried to edit with with td composer, but it returns the error below:

ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

I tried it on the main page as well, but it returned the same error. What may be the problem?

Hello, Please try to add this code in your htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_substitute.c> SubstituteMaxLineLength 10M </IfModule>

If the issue is still there afterwards, please contact us on our email address at contact@tagdiv.com and provide a link to your site and wp-admin (login information and admin rights) so we can login and investigate. Please also include a link to this conversation so we can identify you.

Thank you! Bogdan B

Hello, Greetings !! I know my support is over but looking for a little help.

I am using newspaper on this domain: http://www.tntfeed.com/

Can we have a image slider when we hover on lifestyle: https://prnt.sc/k4lvnk

Please check screenshot of what do I mean.

Awaiting your positive feedback.

I want slide to move automatic, can we also do this in mobile as well.

Hello,

Our theme does include sliding elements. Please check: https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ios-slider/ and https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-slide/ You can add sliders to the mega menu using a page menu option: https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-menu/

Thank you! Bogdan B

Hi. I reinstalled Newspaper on my site and now I can’t activate the theme. The first step, insert activation code, works just fine but in second step I have to register to support community. As a former member of the community I can’t register, there is NO way to log in as a member during activation process. Then the activation process ends and I have to start over. How do I activate the theme when I already got a profile on support community?

Hello,

If you already have a forum account, you can use the manual activation system like so: https://www.screencast.com/t/EL4k48Lq and follow the onscreen instructions.

Thank you! Bogdan B

Thanks, that worked. The small text disappears on a large screen. The activation is by far the most complicated method of all 50+ themes i bought here on themeforest.. but the theme is also one of the best :-)

Just took a look at the new cloud library template maker… that’s just perfect. Thanks.

The Disqus plugin isn’t working with this theme. Why?? Its not compatible with the latest version of this theme.

Hello,

The only tested and recommended plugins to use with our theme are these ones:

WP Super Cache- caching plugin Contact form 7- used to make contact forms bbPress- forum plugin BuddyPress- social network plugin Font Awesome 4 Menus- icon pack, supported in the theme menus Jetpack- plugin with lots of features *it may slow down your site WooCommerce- eCommerce solution WordPress (Yoast) SEO- SEO plugin Wp User Avatar- Change users avatars WPML – multilingual plugin

Anything beyond this list is not tested and I cannot say for sure if it will work or not.

Thanks. Bogdan B

Hi TagDiv… I found out the problem. I was using the WP Hide plugin. I disabled it and reinstalled the disqus plugin. It works now!!! Yaaay! ;-)

how can I custom text “via and source” as I want??

http://prntscr.com/k4kl2h

Hello,

The via and source tags can be translated from the theme translation sections: https://www.screencast.com/t/tmqzyon6M

Thank you! Bogdan B

The product images on the single product pages don’t have a lightbox, they open in a browser tab/window instead. Woocommerce doesn’t natively support lightbox, gallery and slider anymore, but leave it to theme authors. Please add this to the theme.

Hello,

Thank you for your suggestion. For the moment there is no option to add a lightbox to the woocommerce products. I will add this to our list for future updates and if this request becomes more popular we will consider implementing it into our theme. We get lots of requests and have to prioritize based on popularity.

Thank you! Bogdan B

Thanks. In the mean time I found a way to restore the earlier default Woocommerce image functions. Add this to your child theme functions.php:

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'restore_woo_image_functions' );

function restore_woo_image_functions() {
    add_theme_support( 'wc-product-gallery-zoom' );
    add_theme_support( 'wc-product-gallery-lightbox' );
    add_theme_support( 'wc-product-gallery-slider' );
}
However, it would be nice to have a native theme lightbox with options in theme panel.
